Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Family Attitudes

Shen Qiushan watched for a while.

Have to admit, these borderline female streamers understand men. Any normal guy who swipes to this kind of live stream will definitely watch for a few extra seconds.

If there's a man who quickly swipes past this kind of video.

Then there's only one big possibility: his wife is next to him!

What?

You think he might be gay?

No, no, no!

According to big data algorithms, gays are unlikely to come across these borderline videos.

Shen Qiushan glanced again at Old Shen who was engrossed, feeling a bit emotional: Dad really picked a good time to be alive. If this was back in the day, where would a regular worker like Dad ever get such eye candy, stuff he wouldn't even dare dream about!

Well, if he likes to watch, then let him watch!

He's in his sixties, who knows how much longer he can enjoy this...

Once the dance ended, the female streamer sat back in front of the live screen and continued to connect with the next person for a PK.

The visual impact when she sat down couldn't compare to when she was dancing. Old Shen immediately lost interest and only then turned to Shen Qiushan, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Went to the school, your grandson got caught by the school authorities for dating!"

Shen Qiushan sat down next to his dad and replied casually.

"Xiaoxiao has a girlfriend? Is your granddaughter-in-law pretty?" Old Shen asked with curiosity.

Shen Qiushan was speechless. His dad had an extraordinary way of thinking. Clearly, getting caught by the school authorities was the main issue, yet what he cared about was whether the "granddaughter-in-law" was pretty.

"The school wants to expel your grandson!"

Shen Qiushan added.

"What??"

"Expel?"

Old Shen pursed his lips, angrily barking, "Why! Just because Xiaoxiao is dating? It's not that big of a deal, is it!"

"Only three months left until the college entrance exam."

"Xiaoxiao has been made an example by the school as a warning to others, got it?"

"I told you before not to spoil him too much, and now look, big trouble, right?"

Shen Qiushan deliberately made it sound more serious, hoping his dad would reflect a bit on his overindulgence towards his grandson.

"What does Xiaoxiao dating have to do with me spoiling him?"

"Back in the day, I didn't spoil you, and yet, at 19 you brought back a daughter-in-law, and at 20 you became a dad!"

"I think Xiaoxiao is way better than you!"

Old Shen snorted, glaring back in retort.

Shen Qiushan found himself speechless. Comparing dating achievements, his son Shen Yixiao really couldn't match up to him at the same age.

"What's the final decision?"

"If they really dare to expel Xiaoxiao, I'll go talk to Xiaoxiao's grandpa. I just don't believe he'd ignore such a big issue!"

Old Shen stubbornly stuck his neck out as he spoke.

Hearing him mention Xiaoxiao's grandfather, Shen Qiushan instinctively furrowed his brow, then decided to stop keeping it a secret: "I gave a little gift to the school's dean, and it's taken care of."

"Bah!"

"These bastards!"

"Always looking for gifts!"

Upon hearing this, Old Shen spat disdainfully, but after knowing his grandson was fine, he continued to ask, "Is the granddaughter-in-law pretty or not?"

"Xiaoxiao's such a handsome guy, he must find someone good-looking!"

"Pretty, pretty, she looks like a fairy!"

Fed up with the questions, Shen Qiushan casually brushed it off.

In truth, in Shen Qiushan's view, the "daughter-in-law" Luo Yao was just okay, a petite and cute type.

In the school phase, this kind of girl is often quite popular, but in Shen Qiushan's eyes, Luo Yao was far behind her mother, who had a more mature charm!

"As long as she's pretty."

"I trust Xiaoxiao's taste!"

Old Shen nodded contentedly, then went back to watching the dance videos.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Shen Qiushan's brother-in-law Zheng Yi returned home with his daughter Zheng Shihan.

"Brother, so early today?"

Seeing Shen Qiushan at home at this time, Zheng Yi was a bit surprised.

"Uncle, don't you have deliveries today?"

Zheng Shihan, at nine years old, already had a little grown-up demeanor, able to engage in adult-level conversations.

Shen Qiushan smiled, "Won't be delivering from now on!"

"What? Won't be delivering?"

No sooner had Shen Qiushan spoken, Old Shen immediately put down his phone, eyes wide as he asked, "If you don't deliver, what are you going to do?"

"Don't tell me you're starting a business again!"

A few years ago, Shen Qiushan took all his savings and borrowed a hundred thousand to franchise a popular noodle mix, but it went under in less than a year, leaving him in debt.

It took these past few years to finally clear the debt, to recover a bit.

So, hearing Shen Qiushan may be planning something again, he got anxious on the spot.

"Not starting a business!"

Shen Qiushan waved his hand.

"Brother, have you found another job then?"

Hearing the noise, Shen Dehua came out of the kitchen, holding a platter of sliced cantaloupe and watermelon.

She placed the fruit platter on the coffee table in front of their dad, but at the moment Old Shen had no interest in the fruit, just frowning at his always mildly troubling son.

"Dad, I want to take the college entrance exam!"

Indeed, Shen Qiushan uttered the unthinkable.

As soon as he said it, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

"Brother, you, you want to take the college entrance exam?"

Shen Dehua raised an eyebrow, looking as if she'd seen a ghost.

"Brother, how much have you had to drink?" Zheng Yi chimed in from the side.

Old Shen was more direct. He grabbed the massager from the sofa and began to pound on Shen Qiushan, this "rebellious son": "College entrance exam! Pushing 40 and wanting to take the college entrance exam!"

"Why don't you aim for the sky! Looks like you can't stand a peaceful life!"

Shen Qiushan dodged, covering his head, "Dad, Father, Old Shen, stop it..."

"Hehe, Uncle wants to take the college entrance exam~"

"Little Potato" Zheng Shihan found the scene hilarious. She took a piece of watermelon from the fruit platter, savoring it while watching her granddad chase her uncle with the massager.

"Dad, don't get upset yet."

"Listen to Brother first about what's going on."

Zheng Yi intervened, both separating them and soothing Old Shen.

"I said college entrance exam as an exaggeration, it's to accompany studying for three months, overseeing Yanran and Xiaoxiao's final exam push!"

Shen Qiushan quickly explained. He had said college entrance exam just to gauge his dad's attitude.

Now Old Shen's attitude was very clear, so this college entrance exam bit would need some tactics and strategy.

However, Old Shen still wasn't buying this explanation. He glared, "What do they need you accompanying for! Just deliver your takeaways properly!"

"If you accompany studying, who's going to earn money?"

"Is the whole family supposed to sip the northwest wind?!"

Shen Dehua joined in agreeing, "Brother, accompanying studying is indeed a bit excessive."

"It's only three months until the college entrance exam, Yanran and Xiaoxiao's grades are pretty set, there's no need for accompaniment!"

Seeing his sister also siding with their dad, Shen Qiushan quickly signaled to his brother-in-law Zheng Yi, who caught on immediately and stepped in to mediate: "Dad, I think Brother is also thinking of Yanran and Xiaoxiao. These two aren't really that attentive in their studies, especially Xiaoxiao. If they're not kept in check, he might not even get into college!"

"So, I think it's necessary for Brother to keep an eye on them..."
