Although Shen Yi tried his best to keep the family's lucky find a secret, the news still spread among relatives and friends.
For a while, some people were envious, some were jealous, and more people came directly to the Shen family to see what was so special about such an expensive thing. The Shen family suddenly became extremely busy with visitors.
Never expecting things to develop like this, Shen Yi was at a loss.
Shen Nanyi was still young and needed enough sleep every day. But now, with so many friends coming every day, there was no way to ensure it.
Sometimes, before Shen Yi went to work, relatives and friends would come to the house. Every time, Shen Yi couldn't bring himself to turn them away and had to accompany them to talk, which even made him late for work.
After just one month, Shen Yi and his wife were extremely exhausted and looked much older. But at this moment, they really couldn't think of any way. Just then, Zhao Qishan came to their door again.
When Zhao Qishan entered the house and saw Shen Yi in this state, he almost didn't recognize him.
"I think you should sell the thing and the house, find a better place and just move away," Zhao Qishan said.
As a single man who had been alone for a long time, Zhao Qishan saw things more clearly than Shen Yi in many aspects. He was unrestrained and not bound by so many things.
After being "brainwashed" by relatives and friends for a month, Shen Nanyi had almost given up hope of turning the writing brush into money. But after hearing Zhao Qishan's words, she felt she had hope again.
She looked at Zhao Qishan eagerly, hoping he could convince Shen Yi. It didn't matter what they bought, as long as it could be registered in her name.
After Zhao Qishan finished speaking, Shen Yi, rarely, didn't immediately retort. Instead, he was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter.
At first, they wanted to seek Shen Nanyi's consent. But now the situation didn't allow them to wait that long.
"Even if you don't think about yourselves, you should think about the child. You only have a one - bedroom apartment now. When the child grows up, there won't even be a place for her to sleep. You can't let the child sleep on the sofa, right?"
Seeing that Shen Yi's attitude was negotiable, Zhao Qishan fully exerted his eloquence. Every word hit the softest part of Shen Yi's heart.
Shen Yi and his wife could endure a harder life themselves, but they would never allow their daughter to be wronged.
They naturally knew what Zhao Qishan said made sense, but they were still hesitating. Should they wait a while longer? Maybe the situation would get better after some time.
"Little baby, do you still recognize uncle? Do you want to move to a more beautiful house? If you do, smile for uncle, okay?"
Knowing there was a breakthrough, Zhao Qishan came to Shen Nanyi's side and tried to amuse her.
He knew Shen Nanyi liked to smile, so he thought it shouldn't be difficult. But before he even got close, Shen Nanyi smiled happily. She even reached out her hands towards Zhao Qishan, asking to be held.
At this moment, Shen Nanyi thought Zhao Qishan was her savior. He could convince her parents, and she didn't have to take the risk of speaking. Looking around and finding nothing to repay him with, she could only give him a hug.
"… She smiles every time she sees you. This doesn't count," Shen Yi said unhappily.
Every time he saw his daughter being so close to Zhao Qishan, Shen Yi felt uncomfortable.
He had worked so hard to raise his daughter, but she wasn't as close to him as she was to Zhao Qishan, whom she had only met a few times.
"… Then what do you suggest? We can't make the child cry, right?"
Caught in his little trick, Zhao Qishan said helplessly.
Although he had only met Shen Nanyi twice, Zhao Qishan thought she was very cute. At least she always smiled when she saw him.
"Baby, if you agree that we sell the brush to buy a house, cry, okay?"
Under Zhao Qishan's contemptuous gaze, Shen Yi said seriously. Deep down, he was still a bit reluctant to part with the brush.
After all, it was a lucky find of Shen Nanyi. Maybe she could achieve some success in literature with this brush in the future.
Shen Yi was still having such beautiful expectations when they were shattered by Shen Nanyi's crying.
From smiling happily to bursting into tears, it took less than ten seconds. Everyone in the room was stunned.
Especially Zhao Qishan. He looked at Shen Nanyi with shining eyes. What a wonderful little treasure!
"One last time. If you agree, smile, okay?"
Shen Yi had always known his daughter was smart, but he didn't expect her to be this smart. He asked stubbornly, still not willing to give up.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, Shen Yi kept comforting himself in his heart. He stared at Shen Nanyi motionlessly, and then his hope was dashed again.
Under Shen Yi's gaze, Shen Nanyi showed her amazing ability to change expressions in a short time.
Her chubby face still had tears on it, but then she grinned and even wiped the tears off her face with her chubby little hands.
Only then did Shen Yi realize that his daughter was not only extremely smart but also a little actress.
"Shen Nanyi, Dad is asking…"
"Enough. The daughter's attitude is very clear," Zhao Shuyan couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him. She didn't want her daughter to continue performing in front of so many people.
Crying and laughing like this was not good for the child's health.
When his wife spoke, Shen Yi obediently stood there without saying a word. He could be tough with others, but he couldn't disobey his wife. Especially after seeing his wife give birth, Shen Yi decided to listen to his wife on everything.
"Sister - in - law, so you agree? If you do, I'll go and handle it right away," Zhao Qishan said.
Before, Zhao Qishan didn't know who was in charge in the Shen family. Now he finally understood. He looked at Zhao Shuyan eagerly, hoping she would support him.
As long as Zhao Shuyan agreed, the matter would basically be settled. By now, Zhao Qishan finally knew who had the final say.
"Baby, mom gives the choice to you. If you're willing, give the thing to Uncle Zhao, okay?"
Zhao Shuyan had been taking care of Shen Nanyi and knew her daughter better than Shen Yi. Although she was young, she had her own opinions on many things.
As she spoke, Zhao Shuyan directly put the writing brush into Shen Nanyi's hand, giving the choice to her.
Holding the brush tightly, Shen Nanyi smiled at Zhao Shuyan and then handed it to Zhao Qishan without hesitation.
The moment he got the brush, Zhao Qishan still couldn't believe it. Looking at Shen Nanyi who was smiling at him, Zhao Qishan felt his worldview was a bit shaken. Was this a three - month - old baby? Was this a little angel? He had never heard of a child being this smart.
Shen Nanyi was completely immersed in the joy of becoming rich and didn't realize that greater difficulties were still ahead.
