After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 120 Chun Tao comes to report the news

After New Year’s Eve, time flies by and the Lantern Festival comes in the blink of an eye.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is slowly dissipating with the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Shen Nian and Ye Jiaojiao were sitting on the warm kang reading books. Ye Jiaojiao was not a person who loved studying, but every time she came to see Shen Nian, Shen Nian was reading a book.

Shen Nian suggested that Ye Jiaojiao study with her. Ye Jiaojiao believed that Shen Nian was her savior and good sister, and that whatever Shen Nian said to her was for her own good, so she actually started to study with Shen Nian.

Not only did Ye Jiaojiao learn by herself, she also asked Zhao Gaoxuan to learn with her. Whatever she learned at Shen Nian's house, she asked Zhao Gaoxuan to learn it after returning home, and she even called it "Good brothers should share happiness and difficulties together!"

"Sister Nian, there's no need for us to start from elementary school textbooks, right?"

Ye Jiaojiao looked at the book in front of her, somewhat puzzled. She flipped through it, realizing she had already completed all the elementary school textbooks. Learning them all from the beginning again was a headache for her!

Shen Nian stopped taking notes after hearing this and said, "Jiaojiao, I started with the elementary school textbooks because my foundation is relatively poor, and your foundation should be better than mine, so you can also read more middle and high school books. However, even if you have already learned the basics, it won't hurt to consolidate them again."

Shen Nian bit the pen in her hand. She had never been to school in her life, and it had been a long time since she left high school in her previous life. She really had to pick up the basics again, so it was not a lie to say this.

"But Sister Nian, what's the point of reading these books? We are educated youth sent to the countryside to build the countryside. We have to work hard in the fields. We can't use the knowledge in the books!"

Ye Jiaojiao asked the question that had puzzled her for a long time. After all, she was studying with Shen Nian.

But she still didn't understand why they had to insist on studying every day, as this was knowledge that had nothing to do with their lives at the moment.

Shen Nian had considered this question, so she immediately started talking: "How can it not be useful? What if the captain builds a primary school in the future? Wouldn't we have an advantage over others? You should learn quickly, so that you can become a teacher in the school when the time comes."

"Build a primary school? Our brigade wants to build a primary school?"

Ye Jiaojiao widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. Obviously, she was very surprised by this sudden news.

She didn't listen to the word "what if" at all! Her focus was entirely on building the primary school.

Shen Nian looked at Ye Jiaojiao's reaction and couldn't help but smile. She explained, "Jiaojiao, I'm just saying just in case. Anyway, just listen to me. You just need to believe that our current efforts will definitely be rewarded in the future."

"Sister Nian, whatever you say is right. I will do whatever you ask me to do! I want to work hard with you and make progress together!" Ye Jiaojiao clenched her fists and swore an oath as if she was joining the party.

"Sister Nian! Sister Nian!" The courtyard door was pushed open from the outside.

"Why is Chuntao here?" Ye Jiaojiao saw Chuntao running in from outside after pushing open the gate through the window.

"Just go out and take a look and you'll know!" Shen Nian said as he put on his shoes, opened the door and went out.

"Chun Tao! You came alone? Why didn't your grandma come?" Shen Nian went out and didn't see Aunt Zhang, so he asked Chun Tao who was standing aside and gasping for breath.

"Sister! Don't worry about my grandma! My grandma asked me to tell you that Zhou Ersao wants to introduce you to your in-laws! They are coming this way!"

Chuntao, who had finally caught her breath, quickly spoke, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she scared Ye Jiaojiao who had just walked out of the house.

"What? Introducing a husband to my family? When did Sister Nian ever need someone to introduce her to her husband's family?"

Ye Jiaojiao screamed, and the book in her hand fell to the ground. She hurried to Shen Nian and asked nervously, "Sister Nian, what's going on? Why is someone suddenly introducing you to a husband's family?"

Shen Nian frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised, but she was not afraid. If it came, she could just throw it away.

Shen Nian looked at their nervous expressions and said soothingly, "It's okay, don't worry. Jiaojiao, go lock the gate first. Chuntao, come into the house and tell me what's going on."

Chuntao nodded and hurriedly followed Shen Nian into the house, while Ye Jiaojiao quickly ran over and locked the gate from the inside.

After entering the house, Shen Nian poured Chuntao a cup of sugar water and asked her to speak slowly.

Chuntao took the water and drank half of it in one breath before she caught her breath and began to tell her what her grandmother had told her.

"Sister, just now, Zhou Ersao suddenly brought a few people to my house to look for my grandma. She said she wanted to introduce you to your in-laws. She also said that my grandma knew you well and wanted me to be the matchmaker. My grandma got anxious when she heard that. She knew that you were so focused on studying and the development of our brigade that you had no time to think about personal problems, let alone marriage, so she rejected Zhou Ersao."

"But Zhou Ersao and the others were adamant. They said the man was quite good and they came all the way to our brigade to see you. They insisted on meeting you and even said that if you met him, you might agree!"

Chun Tao paused, looking at Shen Nian's face. Seeing that she didn't react much, she continued, "My grandma knows your character and knows that you won't agree. But Zhou Ersao and the others are so many people. My grandma is afraid that they will just barge in on you, so she asked me to give you a heads-up so that you can be prepared."

"Sister Nian, do you know who Zhou Ersao is this week?" Ye Jiaojiao looked at Shen Nian's silence and felt anxious.

Shen Nian shook her head. Although she loved to gossip with Aunt Zhang, there were several Zhou Ersao in the team, and she was not sure which one it was.

They both looked at Chuntao.

"She's the second sister-in-law who always follows Shi Zhiqing Jindong!"

Chun Tao quickly explained, thinking to herself, her grandma is really amazing! She even expected Sister Lian Nian to not know who Zhou Ersao is!

When Shen Nian heard the name "Brother Jin Dong", she felt depressed. This is the male protagonist's second sister-in-law? She wants to introduce her to her husband's family?

She has never met this person before, and she wouldn't even recognize him when they met. They are not even related to her at all, so how can you introduce her to his in-laws?

Too weak to get up early! This male protagonist's second sister-in-law must have taken a fancy to something in me!

Shen Nian knew clearly in his mind that this matter was definitely not that simple.

She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then calmly analyzed, "Since she specifically went to see Third Aunt, it definitely wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. Chuntao, did your grandma ask Zhou Ersao who her husband was?"

Chun Tao nodded quickly: "Yes, I asked. When I was leaving, I heard my grandma asking about this. Zhou Ersao said it was her brother from her mother's side. I didn't hear anything else."

"Brother from my mother's side?" Shen Nian repeated.

"Sister Nian! Do you want to hide for a while?" Chuntao suggested worriedly.

Shen Nian shook her head. Someone came to her house to seek trouble, so how could she not be satisfied?

When the time comes, she will have to ask this family carefully, since they want to be her in-laws, can they, from the old to the young, withstand a beating!

After all, she has a bad temper and likes to beat people up at any time. Anyone who can't resist a beating will be unacceptable!

Shen Nian patted Chuntao's shoulder gently with a sly smile on his face: "Don't worry Qingtao, I'll be fine. Since they want to come, let them come. I guarantee that after they come this time, they won't dare to come again."

Seeing Shen Nian so calm, Chuntao felt a little more at ease.

Her grandmother said that Sister Nian was a smart person who could always deal with things calmly, so she didn't say anything more and just drank the sugar water in the bowl silently.

"Sister Nian, have you thought of a solution?" Ye Jiaojiao approached Shen Nian curiously.

Shen Nian grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candies and gave them to Chun Tao before he spoke slowly, "Whatever you want to do, it sounds like they're up to no good. We'll just have to fight them off when the time comes!"

Ye Jiaojiao and Chuntao looked at each other. This... was her sister Nian's style of doing things!

"Chun Tao, just stay in the house and eat melon seeds. Don't go out, okay?" Shen Nian reminded Chun Tao.

"Oh! I understand." Chuntao quickly nodded in response.

"Shen Zhiqing! Is Shen Zhiqing at home?" There was a knock on the gate.

When Chun Tao heard the voice, she quickly pointed to Shen Nian and whispered, "It's Zhou Ersao!"
