Chapter 5: Women Can Work Too

Shen Wan was washing up at the side in silence and after listening to their conversation, she could not help but smile.

It seemed that this dream had caused a huge psychological shadow on Shen Gang. He was so scared that he changed his mind over several things overnight. He was finally not the st*pid b*stard who sent money to his uncle’s family. He was not looking for his family.

As for Shen Gang’s subsequent transformation, she would have to implement it step by step.

After eating a bowl of hot noodles, Shen Wan warmed up. She picked up a shovel in the corner and walked briskly towards the door of the small courtyard.

When Shen Gang saw Shen Wan’s carefree appearance, he frowned.

This kind of physical work should be done by men. Shen Wan was a girl, so doing this was improper and would just end up embarrassing him.

“Why are you running around with a shovel?” Shen Gang immediately shouted. “Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?”

Shen Wan stuck the shovel into the frozen snow that was as high as her calf and replied, “I’m shoveling snow at the entrance. Also, we have to clean up our yard. We have to wait for Shen Shu and the rest to come and help. It’ll be summer soon.”

“Stop this instance! You’ll fall to your death if you keep going!” Shen Gang was anxious. If it wasn’t for his crippled leg and the slippery floor in the winter, he would have chased after her and knocked her head.

However, Shen Wan shoveled the thick snow to the side in a few moves and even used a shovel to create a small slide. When Shen Miao saw it, she ran out and played happily on the snow slide.

Shen Shu was the son of her eldest uncle, Shen Qiang. He was usually a lazy bum, but it was a pity that the entire Shen family treated him like a treasure, always thinking that he would become rich and become a high-ranking official in the future.

Shen Shu was best at talking big and coaxing her father, Shen Gang, to be like a fool. He even said that he would take Shen Gang to live in the city in the future and that he would bring good wine to visit him during festivals. He would say all kinds of good things, but unfortunately, none of them came true.

Shen Gang, who was watching from the side, had obviously thought of this as well. He recalled the grateful expression on Shen Shu’s face every time he asked him for money. It was as if he was Shen Shu’s real father, and he promised to take care of him for everything. However, the snow had been frozen at his door for a week, and he had not come over. He had not even offered once to help.

In the end, it was his third daughter, Shen Wan, who did it. The more Shen Gang thought about it, the more upset he felt. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that Shen Wan was much more pleasing to the eye.

“Look, aren’t I done? Even women can do this kind of work! If men can do it, women can do it too!” After Shen Wan was done, she did not forget to show off to Shen Gang, who was at the side. Shen Gang’s face darkened, but he did not know what to say.

Shen Gang thought, ‘No wonder Deng Ying told me that she was a sweet little cotton jacket.’

Wasn’t this reflected now? Even though Shen Wan was not a son who could take care of the family in her old age, she would at least consider the family and was a person who did practical things.

After the house was cleaned up, it finally felt like home. Shen Wan clapped her hands and felt her body full of energy and warmth.

It seemed that this was all thanks to her strong physique that she had brought back from the magical world. If she had her small body in the past, she wouldn’t even be able to lift a shovel and would fall ill with the cold wind. Then, no one would be able to do all the heavy work in the house.

“Wow, when did you become so powerful?” Shen Miao saw that Shen Wan was not panting after finishing her work and her curious mind came over as she asked carefully.

Her little face was red from the cold, and there was a line of snot hanging from it.

Shen Wan used the hot water to carefully wipe her sister’s face and gently replied, “Because I’ve already grown up.”

“Then I want to grow up quickly and help Mom and Dad with work!” Shen Miao blinked her big eyes and had a childlike look.

Just as the two sisters were having a good time, a sharp and hoarse voice suddenly came from outside the door. “Shen Gang, are you home? We’ve been waiting for you at home for two days, why haven’t you come yet!”

When she heard this voice, Shen Wan knew that it was that mean, petty, and greedy grandmother.

When Shen Gang saw the old lady, he remembered the bad scene in his dream last night and his expression instantly turned ugly.

Grandma Shen had her hands behind her back and Shen Shu was behind her. The two of them were like gang leaders. They stood at the door and looked around before Grandma Shen said, “What’s this for?”

Seeing this, Shen Shu quickly ran out from behind her and sneakily smiled at Shen Gang, “Uncle, didn’t you say to let me do all the dirty work? Why did you do it yourself? It must’ve been hard on you!”
