Chapter 4

At this moment, Shu Fangfang really wanted to sew Shu Wan’s mouth shut. Didn’t she tell her not to mention this matter outside?

Shu Fangfang hid the coldness in her eyes, fearing that Shu Wan would say something she shouldn’t, and quickly said, “Wait for a while. I’m a little anxious recently. I will definitely pay you back as soon as I have money.”

“I have something to do now, so I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, he turned and ran without waiting for Shu Wan to answer. But Shu Wan was quicker, holding on tightly to her and not letting her go, looking at her pitifully, “Sister, I haven’t eaten for two days, are you trying to force me to death?”

Shu Fangfang laughed dryly, “How could that be?”

As she spoke, she tried to pry Shu Wan’s fingers apart, but her hands were stuck to her arms like an octopus and could not be pried apart.

“Sister, please pay me back. I have no money to eat. I almost fainted from hunger while working today!”

Shu Wan’s tone became more and more pitiful. This time, before Shu Fangfang could say anything, the people next to her couldn’t help but speak first.

“Shu Fangfang, your sister has no money to eat, give her some money first.”

“Yeah, your sister wants to send you all the good things, you can’t just stand by and watch her die.”

Shu Wan glanced at the person who was speaking. It was the person who was splashed with water in the morning. She couldn’t help but sigh that people nowadays are so simple and honest. They didn’t bear any grudge at all and even spoke up for her.

Shu Fangfang took out a few candies from her pocket with a painful look on her face. She was planning to take them back for her son.

“You can pay for it first. I really don’t have any money right now. I’ll pay you back tomorrow, okay?”

Shu Wan took the candy and curled her lips. She had just seen Shu Fangfang take out a few bills. Shu Fangfang was so stingy. She refused to give anything and was only willing to give her a few candies. Could she be full by eating candies?

Shu Wan pretended to be happy, “Sister, you must keep your word!”

“Okay, I’ll go first.” Shu Fangfang said and wanted to leave, but she choked up before she could move.

Shu Wan put her hand to her mouth, making a trumpet shape, and shouted, “Did everyone hear that? My elder sister Shu Fangfang promised to pay back the money tomorrow. When she pays back, I will return the money to everyone immediately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion among the crowd.

I thought the money I lent was wasted, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and Shu Wan wanted to pay it back!

Someone immediately asked, “Shu Wan, when are you going? I’ll go tomorrow too.”

Another person said, “Can it be earlier? I have something to do tomorrow afternoon.”

“Is tomorrow morning okay, big sister?” Shu Wan turned her head and asked.

Shu Fangfang secretly hated him, clenched her fists, and nodded stiffly.

She had originally planned to pretend not to be at home tomorrow and avoid Shu Wan, but now she had no choice but to stay.

As soon as Shu Fangfang left, the onlookers dispersed, and Shu Wan went back home, touching her empty belly. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened it, I saw Yu Chunyan standing at the door with a plate of corn buns in her hand.

Yu Chunyan said, “Shu Wan, there is some food left at my house. If you don’t mind, you can eat it.”

“Thank you, sister-in-law.” Shu Wan was touched. She didn’t expect that Yu Chunyan remembered what she had just said and specially sent something over.

Yu Chunyan was a little shocked. Usually, Shu Wan relied on being Captain Huo’s wife and spoke to them in a very arrogant manner, almost looking down on them. She never expected that one day she would hear Shu Wan thank her.

After the shock, Yu Chunyan’s expression showed more genuine concern. She waved her hand and said, “We are all neighbors. Why should we be polite? It’s just a small favor. It’s nothing.”

At this point, Yu Chunyan couldn’t help but say, “Listen to my sister-in-law’s advice. Discuss everything with Captain Huo. Husband and wife don’t hold grudges overnight. Just say a few soft words and this matter… this matter will be over.”

“Live a good life in the future. Captain Huo is much better than other men.”

Seeing Yu Chunyan wanting to say something but not daring to, Shu Wan suddenly realized that she was indirectly reminding her about Du Wendong!

Shu Wan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Sister-in-law, how dare I cheat on Huo Zhengye? I don’t have anyone outside! That person is a friend of my eldest sister, and he always comes to me because of some things.”

Hearing this, Yu Chunyan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

At this time, a five-year-old boy came running over. After seeing Shu Wan, he hid behind Yu Chunyan and dared not see anyone.

Yu Chunyan patted her son’s head and said, “Huzi, call me auntie.”

Hu Zi’s little hands tightly grasped the hem of Yu Chunyan’s clothes, hid his little head, and refused to speak.

Yu Chunyan glanced at Shu Wan awkwardly, “This child is a little shy.”

Shu Wan was even more embarrassed. Hu Zi was the kid who borrowed money in the account book. It would be more accurate to say that he had robbed the money rather than borrowed it.

The original owner frightened such a young child, and his face became hot just thinking about it.

Yu Chunyan didn’t notice Shu Wan’s abnormality and said goodbye to her, “I’m going to take the child back first.”

Shu Wan smiled and said, “Okay, sister-in-law, take care.”

After the training, Xu Yang grabbed Huo Zhengye.

He was organizing his words, thinking about how to tactfully remind his good brother that when Shu Wan met Du Wendong again this morning, Huo Zhengye spoke:

“I’m planning on getting a divorce.”

Xu Yang exclaimed: “Shu Wan agreed?”

Huo Zhengye nodded, “Yes, she said she would leave when she found a job.”

“If I can’t find a job, won’t I have to rely on you forever?”

Huo Zhengye’s eyes were deep. This was what he was worried about. He was afraid that Shu Wan wanted to use a delaying tactic to delay him.

But he has made up his mind to divorce, so he will help Shu Wan find a job so that she has no reason to delay any longer.

Huo Zhengye asked Xu Yang, “Maybe I’ll have to trouble you to help Shu Wan find a job. It would be best if there’s a dormitory so she can start work and move in as soon as possible.”

Huo Zhengye rarely asks for help, but this time he did, and it seemed that he had really made up his mind. Xu Yang patted his chest and assured, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Xu Yang’s mother is an accountant at a supply and marketing cooperative, his father is the director of a food factory, and his brother-in-law is the director of a timber factory, so it is not difficult for him to find a job.

Huo Zhengye was grateful, “Thank you very much.”

Xu Yang waved his hand, “It’s nothing, you saved my life.”

At this point, Xu Yang couldn’t help but say, “Just now I was thinking about how to start the conversation. Since you want a divorce, I don’t care. Shu Wan went to see that college student again this morning.”

“Although you are getting divorced, you should still ask Shu Wan to be careful. It will have a bad influence.”

Huo Zhengye’s face turned black and his fists clenched so hard that they made a squeaking sound.

Although there was no love between him and Shu Wan, as a man, he could not tolerate his wife cheating on him.

Along the way, Huo Zhengye returned home with a dark face, and found the door locked, which made him even angrier.

Huo Zhengye knocked on the door like he was smashing it, making a loud bang. The neighbors gathered around and whispered.

“Why is Captain Huo back? He doesn’t look very happy.”

“I heard that Shu Wan went out again this morning. I’d like to ask you, which man can stand such an insult?”

“Shu Wan didn’t faint after not opening the door for so long. Didn’t she just say she hadn’t eaten for several days?”

“No way, didn’t Shu Fangfang give me some candies?”

“Sugar won’t fill you up. Shu Wan, please don’t get hurt. You still haven’t paid me back the money you owe me.”

“…”

The whispers around him kept pouring into Huo Zhengye’s ears, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

Just as I was about to climb over the wall, I saw the tightly closed door open from the inside and a little face poked out.
