Chapter 20

“Where is the woman setting up the stall here?” Du Wendong grabbed the old man next to him and asked.

The old man took a puff of his pipe and squinted his eyes, “Leave early! Are you here to buy something too, young man? She will come back in a few days.”

Du Wendong looked unhappy. Shu Wan was lucky that he didn’t catch her.

Shu Fangfang just came and told him not to show up in the compound, and to discuss anything in the city in the future.

Du Wendong didn’t care and asked her for money.

Shu Fangfang said: Shu Wan is setting up a stall over there, you can go ask her for it.

Du Wendong was used to getting money from Shu Wan, so he agreed without thinking. However, he didn’t expect that when he arrived, he got nothing.

Du Wendong looked gloomy and went to find Shu Fangfang again.

“No one’s there.”

Shu Fangfang cursed inwardly but pretended to be surprised, “Really? Next time you see her, ask her for money.”

“Give me thirty yuan.” Du Wendong didn’t listen and stretched out his hand for money.

Shu Fangfang shook her head, “I have no money left, and my son still needs to go to school. What will I do with him if I give it to you?”

Du Wendong’s face changed and he gritted his teeth, “Twenty dollars, no less.”

Shu Fangfang subconsciously held her pockets tightly. She wanted to keep some money for Yu Chengcai to use to build relationships. If she gave it to Du Wendong, what would happen to Yu Chengcai’s job transfer?

Du Wendong narrowed his eyes, “I haven’t seen your son for a long time. When can you bring me here to see him?”

Shu Fangfang turned pale and took out the money. “We agreed…”

Du Wendong snatched the money, spat on his fingers, twisted the edge of the coin with his fingertips, and counted the money.

Shu Fangfang looked at the twenty yuan, her heart aching, and she let out a long sigh, “Next time I’ll go find Shu Wan, she has much more money than I do.”

Du Wendong stuffed the money into his chest pocket and waved his hand impatiently, “I know.”

After giving the money to Du Wendong, Shu Fangfang only had change left in her pocket. She didn’t even dare to buy meat. She only bought some cheap vegetables and potatoes, and then went back home with her noisy son.

Yu Zilong was rolling on the ground in a rage because he didn’t buy any candy or biscuits.

Shu Fangfang asked her daughter to wash the vegetables and came out of the kitchen, coaxing her again and again in a low voice, but Yu Zilong didn’t listen and kept yelling, “Mom is bad, I want candy! I want cookies! Why don’t you buy them for me?”

Shu Fangfang was already in a depressed mood because of the twenty yuan, and now her son was still throwing a tantrum. Shu Fangfang couldn’t help feeling a little impatient.

It’s all Shu Wan’s fault. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t even have money to buy snacks for my son.

Shu Fangfang complained, and suddenly, an idea came to her mind.

Shu Wan loves her son the most. Even though he is in conflict with Shu Wan now, the child is not at fault and he should still take what he deserves.

Shu Fangfang leaned close to her crying son’s ear and said, “Your aunt went to the city today. She must have bought some candy. Go ask her for some.”

When Yu Zilong heard this, he stopped crying and jumped up from the ground.

Shu Fangfang dusted her son off and said with a smile, “Go quickly.”

Yu Zilong ran away.

On the other side, Shu Wan returned to the compound and met Hu Zi who was playing.

Huzi ran over and greeted politely, “Hello, Auntie.”

Ever since he sent snacks to apologize last time, Hu Zi’s fear of Shu Wan has faded a lot, but he is still a little reserved and uneasy when seeing Shu Wan.

Shu Wan touched Hu Zi’s head, took out a piece of candy from her pocket, and said with a smile, “Please have some candy.”

“Thank you, auntie.”

Hu Zi’s eyes sparkled, and his resistance to Shu Wan was reduced a little.

After a few seconds of happiness, Hu Zi suddenly shivered all over and quickly put his hands behind his back.

“Second Aunt!” Yu Zilong ran over and shouted.

Shu Wan followed the line of sight and saw a young boy, who was dirty and had dust on his face, running towards her.

The boy was round like a ball, and when he stopped in front of him, the flesh on his belly trembled violently twice.

Shu Wan recognized the little boy at a glance. He was the original owner’s nephew, Shu Fangfang’s beloved son, Yu Zilong.

The original owner and Shu Fangfang doted on him extremely, giving him all the good things, and spoiled him at a very young age.

He ran to Shu Wan, and without asking her, he stretched out his little hand and reached into the bag, asking, “Aunt, where are the candies and biscuits you bought?”

Shu Wan watched Yu Zilong’s dirty little hands reaching into the bag, with thick black mud hidden between his fingernails. She quickly threw the bag back to avoid his contamination.

“No.”

Yu Zilong’s mouth drooped, and his tender little face was full of anger, “You are lying! I just saw you give it to him.”

“Give it to me, give it to me now!”

“I don’t care. I want candy and you have to give it to me.”

As he spoke, Yu Zilong hammered Shu Wan with his dirty little hands, leaving grey and black handprints on her clothes, as well as an unidentified yellow-green substance that had been used to wipe his nose.

The veins on Shu Wan’s forehead were throbbing. Yu Zilong was simply a fighter among the naughty kids, always challenging the bottom line of human beings.

Too bear!

Shu Wan couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to get angry, but Hu Zi timidly stretched out his little hand and handed the candy to Yu Zilong, “Don’t make trouble, auntie, I’ll give you my candy.”

Yu Zilong snatched it away viciously, “Humph, this is my candy, everything that belongs to my aunt is mine! If you want some candy, go buy it from your mom, poor bastard!”

Hu Zi lowered his head and twisted his little hands together awkwardly.

At such a young age, he didn’t understand what embarrassment was. He just felt that what Yu Zilong said made his nose sore and he felt wronged.

Yu Zilong was taller and stronger than Hu Zi, and he glared at Hu Zi fiercely.

However, the next second, the candy in Yu Zilong’s hand disappeared.

Yu Zilong looked at his second aunt in astonishment. This was the aunt who loved him the most, but now she was looking at him coldly.

“If you want to buy it, go find your mother.”

Yu Zilong’s mouth pursed and he burst into tears.

“Stinky Second Aunt, damn Second Aunt, I don’t like you anymore!”

Shu Wan said calmly, “Oh, I don’t like kids who steal other people’s things either.”

Yu Zilong felt more and more aggrieved. Why did his second aunt become like this? She was totally different from before. He didn’t like this kind of second aunt.

Hu Zi was stunned, and the candy he had just given away returned to his hand.

“What I give you is yours. I don’t lie.” Shu Wan said to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi nodded heavily, tore open the candy wrapper in front of Yu Zilong, put the red fruit candy into his mouth, and the sweet taste spread from his mouth.

Hu Zi smiled brightly at Shu Wan, and Yu Zilong howled even louder when he saw this.

“My sugar, my sugar!”

Shu Wan’s expression was indifferent. Before leaving, Hu Zi raised his head and asked, “What about him?”

“I went home by myself after crying.”

When Shu Wan’s voice reached Yu Zilong’s ears, Yu Zilong’s crying paused. He spontaneously got up from the ground and went home crying, feeling extremely aggrieved.

As they approached the door, Yu Zilong’s crying became more than doubled in intensity. Shu Fangfang ran out and asked hurriedly, “Baby, what’s wrong?”

Yu Zilong was crying so hard that he was gasping for breath, and his voice was intermittent.

“I hate my second aunt because she won’t give me candy.”

Shu Fangfang frowned, “Hasn’t Shu Wan always loved you the most?”

After hearing this, Yu Zilong felt even more aggrieved and yelled at Shu Fangfang, “No, she gave the candy to Hu Zi and didn’t give it to me. I’m her nephew! Why wouldn’t she give it to me? Didn’t you say that all her things belong to me?”

Shu Fangfang felt extremely distressed and quickly comforted her, “Okay, okay, don’t cry, mom will go over and teach her a lesson.”

“Beat her to death, make her disobey you, make her not give me the candy.”

Yu Zilong clenched his fists and said viciously.

When Yu Chengcai came back and heard his son’s words, he frowned and looked at his wife and son, “You spoil him too much.”

Shu Fangfang retorted, “If I don’t spoil my son, who will?”

Yu Zilong was a little afraid of Yu Chenglong and didn’t dare to shout like he did just now. He pulled Shu Fangfang and motioned her to squat down.

Shu Fangfang squatted down, and Yu Zilong asked in a low voice: “Mom, when are we going to teach Second Aunt a lesson?”

Yu Chengcai is not deaf, on the contrary he has very good hearing.

Hearing his son’s words, his face turned cold, “Teaching Shu Wan a lesson? For a piece of candy?”

Shu Fangfang disagreed, “This is not about Tang. Zilong is her nephew, how can she be so mean?”

After Shu Fangfang finished speaking, Yu Zilong gave her a thumbs up and nodded heavily, “That’s right, mom is right.”

Yu Chengcai looked at the mother and son with identical expressions and suddenly wondered if his son had been led astray by Shu Fangfang?

He exhaled, “Have you apologized to Shu Wan?”

Shu Fangfang avoided eye contact and stammered.

Yu Chengcai was extremely angry, his veins bulging with rage, “You are still blaming Shu Wan for this? Go and apologize right now!”
