Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Must Pass My Approval
"Sis, you’ve already set Big Brother up with a farm. So, what about me? What are you planning to get me?"
Shen Xiangnan looked at Shen Nian, his face alight with excitement, his imagination already running wild.
"You? Just focus on your studies! The college entrance exams are in two or three years. If you don’t get into a top university, you’ll be in for it!"
"Huh?"
’What? He was thinking that since his big brother was getting a farm, he should get something pretty good, too! How come when it was his turn, all he got was an order to study hard?’
’Besides, from the way Shen Nian said it, it sounded like she was going to beat him up if he didn’t get into a top university.’
’Talk about blatant favoritism!’
"What do you mean, ’huh’? I’m not kidding! You’d better study hard and stop thinking about all this other nonsense. If you don’t get into a top university, don’t blame me for giving you a beating!"
’Great. Now he didn’t even have to guess. She’d just come right out and threatened to beat him!’
"Sis, you’re playing favorites!"
"Who says I’m playing favorites? If you can get into a top university, there’ll be a reward for you!"
"Really?"
The moment he heard there was a reward, Shen Xiangnan no longer felt wronged. A reward was all he needed! A top university? Fine, he’d get in!
"Of course it’s true. Even if you don’t believe me, your brother-in-law is right here!"
"Mm-hmm."
When his wife spoke, Lu Cheng naturally agreed.
"Well, then... I’ll be waiting for my reward!"
"You can count on it!"
Shen Nian wasn’t playing favorites. The situations of her older brother, Shen Xiangdong, and her younger brother, Shen Xiangnan, were completely different.
Her older brother’s personality was better suited for making a name for himself in their hometown. As for her younger brother, Shen Xiangnan, Shen Nian remembered that in her past life, his grades had always been excellent, and he had a real gift for the sciences.
If Qin Xueling hadn’t framed him in their last life, causing him to take the fall for someone else’s crime and lose his life at such a young age, his future would have undoubtedly been bright.
In this life, Shen Nian would make sure Shen Xiangnan’s fate wasn’t as tragic as it was in the last. She would have him study hard, get into the best possible university, and properly cultivate his talent.
Who knew, maybe the Shen family could really produce a top scholar!
Shen Jian Country and Miao Cuifen had been worrying that the gift for their eldest son was a bit too extravagant. But after this little outburst from their youngest, it seemed everything was now set in stone.
Oh well. The children were all grown up and had their own ideas now. As parents, what else could they do but offer their support?
Just a short while ago, they had been worried about their daughter. They never expected that in the blink of an eye, she would bring their family such a wonderful surprise!
"Mom, Dad, don’t you worry. Everyone in our family is going to be successful in the future! Once Big Brother’s farm is up and running and people see how outstanding he is, there will be tons of wonderful women wanting to marry him! You two had better not get overwhelmed by all the choices!"
Shen Nian was also saying this to keep Father Shen and Mrs. Shen from worrying too much about Shen Xiangdong’s marriage. She couldn’t have them being persuaded to arrange a bad match for him while she wasn’t around!
’In this life, she had to be the one to personally approve of her older brother’s marriage!’
"You silly girl, aren’t you ashamed to be talking like that!"
"What’s there to be ashamed of? My big brother is wonderful, so of course he deserves an even more wonderful sister-in-law! I don’t care, Mom, Dad—when you’re picking my future sister-in-law, she has to get my approval first!"
"Alright, I’ll listen to my little sister. From now on, if she doesn’t give her approval on my marriage, I won’t agree to it!"
"I knew you were the best, Big Brother!"
Shen Nian looked at her family, a happy smile on her face. She wasn’t asking for much. She only hoped that they could all escape the tragic ending of their last life and find true happiness in this one.
