Chapter 21

Shu Fangfang whispered, “This matter is over, forget it.”

Yu Chengcai is usually gentle and never says harsh words. Shu Fangfang forgets for a moment that Yu Chengcai is a taxi driver who survived the battlefield. Now he has a cold face and is quite scary.

Shu Fangfang’s face turned pale. “I’ll go and apologize, okay?”

Yu Zilong didn’t understand what the adults were saying. He only heard Shu Fangfang go to find Shu Wan. He thought she was venting her anger for him. His fat face flushed with excitement and he clapped excitedly.

“Okay, Mom, you must let Second Aunt take a good look and tell her not to give me the candy.”

“Mom, I’m going with you!”

Yu Chengcai’s face darkened as he said in a deep voice, “Go back to your room.”

Yu Zilong shuddered all over, shrank his neck, and ran into the room like a little quail.

“Let’s go! Go find Shu Wan!”

After the training, Huo Zhengye returned home and smelled the fragrance of food.

Hearing the noise at the gate, Shu Wan ran out to take a look. Seeing that it was Huo Zhengye, she said politely:

“I’m back.”

It’s just a greeting.

Huo Zhengye nodded, his eyes fell on the apron Shu Wan was wearing and the strands of hair that fell from her busy body. A feeling of warmth inexplicably emerged in his mind.

However, the emotions that had just risen up disappeared instantly when they came into contact with Shu Wan’s polite and distant expression.

Coming back to his senses, Huo Zhengye frowned. He didn’t like this feeling, especially when the object was Shu Wan.

At the dinner table, the two of them ate quietly without speaking a word.

Huo Zhengye broke the silence, “Your mother called today.”

Shu Wan paused in her action of picking up the food, and memories of the original owner’s family automatically flooded into her mind.

Although the original owner was not favored at home, he was extremely filial and obeyed his parents’ words. Apart from the matter of marriage, it can be said that the original owner had never disobeyed their wishes.

Ever since the original owner got married, her parents called and wrote to her every now and then, asking for money and things under various names, and the original owner never refused.

“What’s up?”

Shu Wan asked, actually she had some idea in her mind.

“Auntie asked if you received the letter?”

letter?

Shu Wan suddenly remembered that there was an unopened letter in the drawer. She had just received it on the day she came through, and she hadn’t had time to read it yet.

After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of food, Shu Wan ran back to her room and opened the letter.

The handwriting on the letter is beautiful, and judging from the Shu family’s cultural level, it should have been written by the heroine.

The specific content above is that winter is approaching and there is a shortage of quilts and cotton clothes at home, so please buy some in the city and send them back home.

He also said that he had been in poor health recently and the money he usually sent was not enough, so he would send more.

Finally, let Shu Wan help Shu Fangfang more, listen to her and don’t talk back.

There was a sentence at the end of the letter, probably added by the heroine herself, saying that she was short of money and asked Shu Wan for some pocket money, and secretly said that she had no clothes and wanted new clothes.

After reading it, Shu Wan just wanted to laugh. The whole article was asking her for money, without even a word of concern.

I almost doubt that she is not Shu family’s biological daughter.

Otherwise, why is there such a big difference in treatment between Shu Fangfang and the original owner?

However, after reading this letter, Shu Wan finally understood why the original owner listened to Shu Fangfang so much.

In addition to Shu Fangfang’s constant nagging about the care she gave her when she was a child, there was also the nagging and imperative nagging in Shu’s mother’s letters.

Recalling her memories, Shu Wan felt that the original owner was too stupid, and the lack of love caused her to give too much to the Shu family.

When the original owner first arrived at the compound, he was unfamiliar with the place and when he received the letter from Shu’s mother, he was so moved that tears filled his eyes.

Thinking that Shu’s mother cared about her, she not only sent back all the money that Huo Zhengye gave her, but also wrote about her recent situation in the letter.

Later, Shu’s mother wrote back, but the letter did not say a word to comfort the original owner, it just asked for money. The original owner didn’t realize it at all, she just felt that her mother cared about her, and she sent money back with tears in her eyes every time.

Every once in a while, the original owner would receive a letter like this.

The original owner felt that this was proof of Shu’s mother’s concern, so she worked harder to send money. Sometimes, even when Shu’s mother didn’t send a letter, the original owner would still take the initiative to send money or things back.

Shu Wan has no feelings for the Shu family. After looking through the original owner’s memories, I had even less of a good impression of the Shu family.

Therefore, Shu Wan did not intend to be as obedient as the original owner, sending money and things, but still getting nothing good in return.

Thinking of this, Shu Wan suddenly realized something, her face changed slightly, and she quickly walked to Huo Zhengye, “When you answered the phone, you didn’t tell my mother about the divorce, right?”

Huo Zhengye glanced at her and replied, “No.”

Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask him, “Please ask my mother to call again. Don’t tell her about this.”

Huo Zhengye pursed his lips and said, “We’ll know eventually.”

Shu Wan shrugged. “That’s true, but if she knew, it would be hard to get a divorce. Just in case, don’t tell her about this.”

Huo Zhengye nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

“What do you plan to do after the divorce?” Huo Zhengye asked.

“Let’s talk about it later, but I can’t go back. If she knows I’m divorced, she’ll probably marry me off to someone else and get the bride price.”

A dark color flashed across Shu Wan’s eyes, and she thought of bad memories.

Huo Zhengye frowned, “Are you thinking too seriously?”

Shu Wan didn’t want to say much about the Shu family. Besides, they were both going to get divorced, so there was no need to say anything.

Shu Wan said a few perfunctory words and went back to her room. Time was running out and she was still busy knitting a sweater.

As soon as I returned to the house, the gate banged.

“Who is it?” Shu Wan muttered.

When I opened the door, I saw a simple and honest square face. The person was Yu Chengcai.

Shu Fangfang was behind Yu Chengcai, looking reluctant.

“What are you doing?” Shu Wan asked puzzledly.

“Shu Wan, your sister told me about the stupid things she did. I came here today to apologize to you.”

Yu Chengcai’s face showed sincere apology. If Shu Wan ignored Shu Fangfang’s strong resentment, she would really want to believe it.

In the original owner’s memory, Yu Chengcai was an honest and good man. He had been a company commander in his early years. Later, due to injury, he was transferred to a logistics soldier and never went back.

Yu Chengcai pulled Shu Fangfang forward, but Shu Fangfang was reluctant to move forward, her tone filled with resentment.

“sorry!”

“Is this all right?”

The person who made the apology felt uncomfortable, and the person who listened to it felt even more disgusted, as if she was forcing Shu Fangfang to come and apologize.

Should she accept Shu Fangfang’s apology?

Shu Wan covered her mouth and said resentfully, “Sister, I thought you were truly repentant and sincerely apologized and wanted to reconcile with me, but it turned out to be my wishful thinking.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t apologize. After all, we are sisters. What can I do to you?” Shu Wan’s tone was full of disappointment.

Seeing Yu Chengcai’s cold face, Shu Fangfang became anxious.

“I’m serious.”

Shu Wan raised her eyes, “Sister, what did you do wrong?”

Shu Fangfang choked up, secretly hating herself. Shu Wan was going to bring up what she had done again to criticize her. Wouldn’t it be better to just let the matter go simply?

“I shouldn’t have asked you to borrow money or to fight to vent my anger.”

“And more.”

Shu Fangfang was so angry that she wanted to spit blood on Shu Wan’s face. Didn’t she have any shame at all?

Under Yu Chengcai’s threatening look, Shu Fangfang gritted her teeth and said, “I shouldn’t have asked you to pay for me. I won’t do that again.”

That’s enough. Even a desperate dog will jump over the wall. Don’t push it too hard.

Shu Wan smiled and said, “Sister, I never took borrowing money, paying for things, and asking me to fight to heart. There’s no such thing as forgiving or not forgiving. It’s just Du Wendong…”

Before she finished, Shu Fangfang interrupted hastily, “I know, I know!”
