The two siblings cleaned the house carefully inside and out.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Mo called the two to go to the restaurant, but both of them were not interested.

Seeing this, Shen Mo could only go out and pack up some food.

The two of them finished eating in a hurry and started cleaning.

Shen Mo felt vaguely guilty. His younger siblings were so capable that he, as the eldest brother, seemed incompetent.

The next day, Shen Mo took the freshly issued household registration booklet and went to handle the admission procedures for Shen Xian and Shen Yu.

To enter the school, the two have to take an exam. If they pass, they don’t have to repeat the grade, but if they fail, they will have to repeat the grade.

Shen Xian didn't care at first, as he was one of the best students in the village.

However, after the exam, I found that there is still a big gap between the education in the county and the village. In terms of his grades, except for Chinese, he only passed the exam.

This dealt a heavy blow to his self-confidence.

The teacher saw Shen Xian's annoyance and consoled him with a smile: "The learning resources in the county are definitely different from those in your village. You have a good foundation and I believe you will be able to catch up with the class soon."

"Okay, thank you teacher." Shen Xian made up his mind to keep up with the class progress.

On the other hand, Shen Yu, who was one grade lower than Shen Xian, was in a similar situation. She was in the transition from primary school to junior high school, but her test scores were all on the verge of passing.

I feel depressed when I get home.

Seeing this, Shen Mo took the two siblings to raid the Xinhua Bookstore.

"Since you know your shortcomings, then take advantage of the few days left in the holiday to study hard. Don't you have confidence?"

"Of course we are confident." Shen Yu's cheeks puffed up.

Shen Yu was always proud of her grades in the past. She was hit hard in this exam, but if this setback could be turned into motivation, it might be a good thing.

"Brother, in fact, if you continue to study, your grades will definitely be better than ours." Shen Xian remembered that his elder brother always ranked among the top students in school, and one wall of the house was covered with his elder brother's school awards.

"Brother, now that our family is rich, you can continue to go to school."

"A good horse never turns back. If you can get into a good university and find a good job, it will be a complete mission in my life."

Shen Mo smiled and rubbed his brother and sister's heads.

Studying, just kidding, it’s not like he’s so depressed that he has to go to school.

While the three siblings were living very comfortably, at Uncle Shen's house on the other side, Old Mrs. Shen was once again awakened by a scream in the middle of the night.

Not only were all the family members woken up, but even the neighbors were awakened.

"What's wrong with Shen Jinbao's mother? Why does she scream strangely every night? Could it be that Boss Shen really comes to look for her at night?" Neighbor Aunt Liu pushed her husband.

"Boss Shen has been dead for how many years? If they wanted to come looking for him, they would have done it long ago. Why would they come today? You should go to bed quickly!" Unlike the woman who looked gossipy, the man just felt that he had worked all day and was sleeping soundly. Who has time to care about the old lady next door?

Shen Jinbao and his wife heard my mother screaming and pushed the door into her room.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"Wow, Jinbao, your elder brother is here again. Is he blaming me for driving those three little bastards away?"

"Mom, you're overthinking it. If my eldest brother wanted to blame me, he would have come to me long ago. It's been so many years. You must be feeling guilty, that's why you're like this. Don't overthink it."

"No, it's not that I'm overthinking. I really feel that it is your eldest brother. He looked at me with a creepy look and asked me why I occupied the family's house and money, and why we didn't care about those three." Mother Shen cried.

"Mom, have you told big brother that we have already made compensation?" Shen Jinbao looked impatient, but he had to comfort his mother.

"I, I'm so scared that I can't speak." Mother Shen said, trembling all over.

These days, because of this incident, she didn't even dare to sleep, but because of her age, she couldn't help falling asleep. When she fell asleep, the boss came up to her, and in just a few days, she instantly looked old.

"If you're worried, let's burn some paper money for him tomorrow, and you can find a witch to tell him that it's not that we want Shen Xian and Shen Yu to leave, but they really want to leave, and we can't stop them." This was the only solution Shen Jinbao could think of.

"You're right. I'll find a fortune teller tomorrow and you and your wife can burn some paper money for him." Old Mrs. Shen said, patting her chest.

An early Sunday morning.

The door of Shen Mo's house was slammed.

The three siblings, who were enjoying a rare late night's sleep, were woken up by a knock on the door.

Shen Yu got up to open the door, and saw several unfamiliar faces outside. She frowned vigilantly and called out "Brother".

Shen Mo came over and saw a few people. He immediately remembered these people. They were the ones who came to see the house and passed by him that day.

Shen Mo still remembered the conversation between those people. The gist of it was that they thought the landlord could lower the price if he went abroad.

Shen Mo didn't know why these people came here today. Didn't they know that the house had changed hands?

"Excuse me, who are you?" Shen Mo pretended to be confused.

"Young man, are your parents at home?" The middle-aged woman who took the lead did not look very happy.

That day, the young couple wanted to finalize the purchase of the house, but she relied on her knowledge of the family's situation to lower the price.

In fact, there are quite a few people who like this house. They all know that the owner is going abroad and is in a hurry to sell the house, so they slowly lower the price.

Who knew that such a young man would come and trade the house without any hesitation.

This made her very angry. Now her nephew and his wife hated her and insisted that she buy the house.

So she came to find out about the family's background.

It would be best if this family could give up the house obediently.

"Just tell me whatever it is." Shen Mo saw the middle-aged woman's plan, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this matter."

"I'm the boss of this family, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Then I said, this house is not something your family can buy."

"I spent money and went through the transfer procedures, so why can't I buy it? If not, I can't transfer it. Or are you here to tell me this on behalf of the authorities?"

"How can you talk like that, young man? I'm doing this for your own good. We should always follow the principle of first come, first served when doing anything. My nephew has had his eyes on this house for a long time and has already reached an agreement with the owner. It's wrong for you to cut in line. If you don't believe me, let's ask the neighbors to come and judge. You have to build good relationships with your neighbors if you live here. If you don't want to be scolded, you'd better give up the house." The woman put her hands on her hips, looking fierce.

At this moment, the young man next to her pulled the woman's arm and said, "Aunt, if you have anything to say, please talk to me."

After that, he said to Shen Mo: "Young man, my aunt is impatient. This house is really not very good. Most people can't afford it. The master also said that I need such a house. I am just considering it, but you guys just took action. I am doing this for your own good. In this way, you can transfer it to me at the original price. In fact, this house is not worth this money, otherwise the owner here would not be so anxious to go out. He is just scared."
