Chapter 24 Growth

During the time taking care of Shen Nanyi, Zhao Shuyan had already gotten used to Shen Nanyi's unexpected actions.

However, when she heard that Shen Nanyi wanted her to bargain with the professional beggars at the door, Zhao Shuyan felt a bit on the verge of collapse.

"Mom, give fifty cents to the old grandpa at the front gate and another fifty cents to the old grandma at the back gate, okay?"

Shen Nanyi was also extremely frustrated, but she had no other choice.

Who could have thought that her old father would calculate so precisely with the money he spent? He left her exactly one yuan.

She still had two tasks to complete for two people. What could she do? Of course, she had to split the one - yuan to complete the tasks for the two people.

"Isn't it a bit too little?"

Zhao Shuyan had heard from the neighbors in the community many times about the situation of the couple at the door.

Their family was really poor, and the old couple was in poor health. They had no choice but to beg at the community gate for a living. Every time Zhao Shuyan passed by, she would give them her spare change.

"That's the only way!"

Since she couldn't tell Zhao Shuyan about the system, Shen Nanyi could only put on a straight face, showing that she was serious and not joking.

Under her daughter's gaze, Zhao Shuyan didn't know how to refuse. She could only muster up the courage and walk over.

She rummaged through her pocket. Fortunately, she had the habit of carrying spare change when going out. With some difficulty, she found a fifty - cent coin. Under great pressure, Zhao Shuyan showed the coin to the old grandpa at the front gate.

When giving the money, Zhao Shuyan felt a bit embarrassed and thought that she must buy something to eat for the two of them next time she passed by.

Just in the last minute, Shen Nanyi finally completed the task.

She felt that if things continued like this, she might be scared to death by the system.

What Shen Nanyi didn't expect was that the reward this time was a suspension reward.

Among all the rewards, Shen Nanyi took a fancy to this one at a glance. Although the suspension was only for a maximum of four years, by then she would be five years old, and it would be much more convenient to do many things.

Moreover, she could save more money during these years. Otherwise, with the system's money - spending speed, her small body couldn't hold out for long.

Without much thought, Shen Nanyi made a decision on the spot and chose to use this reward.

"Good luck to you."

The system said sweetly and then fell silent. Even the task bar in Shen Nanyi's mind disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Having a period of rest should be a happy thing, but for some reason, Shen Nanyi always felt that something was off. It seemed that she had forgotten something important.

"Hey! You haven't given me the funds for this task yet!"

When she was almost home, Shen Nanyi's little brain finally reacted, and she shouted loudly at the system.

The only response to Shen Nanyi was a long - lasting silence.

At this moment, Shen Nanyi finally realized one thing: she had been scammed out of money by the system!

Although she was quite willing to spend this money, she still felt a bit heart - aching.

Fortunately, some things that happened the next day made Shen Nanyi feel much better.

Zhang Xiaohong was discharged from the hospital overnight, and Sun Qiang's incident at the community gate was exposed.

All the construction site foremen avoided Sun Qiang when they saw him. Sun Qiang couldn't find any way to make a living anymore.

Not only couldn't he find a job, but Sun Qiang was often recognized on the street. He really got a taste of what it was like to be a star, but it wasn't a good experience.

Good - tempered people might just roll their eyes at Sun Qiang when they saw him, while hot - tempered guys were not so easy - going. They would directly throw rotten eggs at him.

That was not all. Some people specifically blocked the door of Sun Qiang's house just to annoy him.

In just a few days, it seemed like years had passed for Sun Qiang. He looked haggard.

In desperation, Sun Qiang had no choice but to go home dejectedly.

But he didn't know that his home was not spared either.

From the very beginning when he made his choice, it was doomed that there would be no good ending.

Without the system's tasks, Shen Nanyi spent a long and peaceful time. Since Zhao Fang and the others were at home to take care of things, Zhao Shuyan returned to her job.

Everything seemed to be returning to normal. Except that Shen Nanyi would sometimes ask Zhao Shuyan to take her to the antique market, Shen Nanyi was no different from an ordinary child.

Except for Shen Nanyi herself, only Zhao Qishan in the whole world knew what Shen Nanyi had actually done in these years.

Just the commission from the resales he got was almost ten million. The money Shen Nanyi had earned in these years was probably more than what he would earn in his whole life.

Every time Zhao Qishan saw the Shen family members who were completely unaware, he felt really frustrated.

Sometimes being kept in the dark was also a kind of happiness. Probably only the Shen family members thought that they were an ordinary family.

Spring came and autumn went. In a blink of an eye, Shen Nanyi was about to turn five years old, and along with that came the issue of going to school.

After four years, Shen Nanyi had grown more and more delicate, looking like a delicate doll. Everyone in the community knew her.

Recently, there was a top - priority matter in the Shen family, which was about Shen Nanyi's enrollment in kindergarten.

Shen Yi himself was a typical example of changing his fate through study, so he attached great importance to his daughter's education.

On the issue of Shen Nanyi going to school, the family members surprisingly had a unified opinion. They all said that they shouldn't save money and should provide the best resources for the child.

Wasn't the reason they worked hard to provide better resources for their children?

Compared to her own school - going issue, Shen Nanyi was more concerned about when the system would wake up. Calculating the time, it should be around these days.

Thinking about the balance of more than forty million in her card, Shen Nanyi felt much more confident. She should be able to handle any task.

Shen Nanyi had calculated everything and prepared all that she could, but she didn't expect that the system would wake up again on the day she started school.

"The suspension time is over. Now the task is released."

The system's voice was still sweet, but Shen Nanyi really couldn't be happy.

She turned to look at the whole family neatly sending her to school and then at the kindergarten just a short distance away. Shen Nanyi thought that if she said she didn't want to go to school now, her family members would probably beat her to death.

After much thought, Shen Nanyi decided that her life was more important. She decided to listen to the task given by the system first.

With a glimmer of hope in her heart, she thought that after such a long time of not seeing each other, the system shouldn't give her a too difficult task, right?

"Before the official start of the task, there is a pre - task: empty the balance in your card. The funds in the card cannot exceed ten yuan."

As if understanding what Shen Nanyi was thinking, the system mercilessly shattered Shen Nanyi's fantasy.

There was really no need to think of it as kind. It was just a heartless system.
