Chapter 31: Shen Sangyu Gets Angry

Wen Qingchuan’s words were considered treasonous in this era.

But Shen Sangyu had been with him for so long and knew that Wen Qingchuan was always very rational.

If he hadn’t been truly heartbroken by his family, he wouldn’t have said that.

Shen Sangyu nodded, thought about it, and said, “As long as your mother is here, I will not argue with her no matter what.

Otherwise, it will be bad for you when the news gets out.”

She had actually heard Lin Hua’s words clearly at the door that day.

She also remembered that everything Lin Hua mentioned had really happened.

It was the first day of the original owner’s marriage. Wen Qingchuan received a mission and went out.

A military wife upstairs couldn’t stand the original owner’s style, so she spoke ill of her with her little sister in a strange way.

The original owner, who was already arrogant, immediately grabbed a kitchen knife and fought against five people.

Although her face was bruised, her record was amazing.

In the end, not only did she have to pay ten yuan for medical expenses, but Wen Qingchuan’s chance to become an advanced cadre was also ruined by her.

The army pays attention to the reputation of its subordinates. If Li Shuhua reports this to the leader during this period, Wen Qingchuan would be finished.

Wen Qingchuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then realized the deep meaning of Shen Sangyu’s words.

“Did you hear what Political Commissar Lin said?”

Shen Sangyu nodded: “It was my fault before.”

Wen Qingchuan said: “Don’t blame yourself. They shouldn’t talk about you like that.”

Shen Sangyu looked at Wen Qingchuan in astonishment.

Although she didn’t know how important this advanced cadre position was to Wen Qingchuan, according to Political Commissar Lin’s meaning, Wen Qingchuan seemed to have missed a big opportunity.

But when talking about the previous things, Wen Qingchuan was still emotionally stable, as if he wasn’t angry at all about the previous events.

Shen Sangyu couldn’t help but admire Wen Qingchuan.

If this were modern times, a wife spending money lavishly, nearly costing her husband his job, and even giving him a piece of green grassland, which man wouldn’t be furious?

Only Wen Qingchuan seemed to have no feelings about it at all, simply… the ultimate saint!

Wen Qingchuan got goosebumps when Shen Sangyu stared at him and couldn’t help but change the subject: “I rarely went home before, and my mother never looked for me. This time, I guess she has other purposes. Be careful at home.”

Shen Sangyu wasn’t worried about the mother and daughter of the Wen family causing trouble.

She patted her chest and teased: “I’m a big cancer in the family compound. Others are afraid of me, not the other way around.”

After that, Shen Sangyu felt a little distressed about Wen Qingchuan’s experience and couldn’t help but ask: “But there’s one thing I can’t figure out. You are so outstanding; why doesn’t your family like you? Could it be…”

Not a biological child?

Wen Qingchuan’s mouth twitched, knowing what Shen Sangyu was about to say: “I am indeed my mother’s biological child.

As for why they don’t like me, it may be that I am not as likable as my brothers and sisters.”

He used to think about this question often.

Since he could remember, his parents and siblings didn’t like him, so he suspected that he wasn’t a child of the Wen family.

But after asking around secretly, everyone said that they were Li Shuhua’s biological children.

Later, when he grew up, he felt that there was no point in thinking about these questions, so he simply stopped thinking about them.

But thinking about it or not is one thing, and the way parents act is another.

He told Shen Sangyu not to care about Li Shuhua’s thoughts because he paid the betrothal gift himself, and Shen Sangyu’s  food and drink were also his.

To put it bluntly, Shen Sangyu had no relationship with her family at all, let alone take care of Li Shuhua and Wen Chunyan.

He didn’t know the purpose of the two coming to the army yet, so he had to tell them: “Don’t spoil them too much.”

Shen Sangyu: “Okay.”

Shen Sangyu didn’t like the way Li Shuhua looked at her, so she simply stayed in the hospital in the afternoon to discuss the questions with Wen Qingchuan.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Sangyu went back to the family compound, but she went straight to Cao Ruyue’s residence.

Cao Ruyue had already prepared the meal, and when she saw Shen Sangyu coming over with a lunch box, she was hesitant to say anything.

“Sister Cao, do you have something to say to me?”

Cao Ruyue’s expression was vivid, catching Shen Sangyu’s attention.

Cao Ruyue blushed but still said, “Sangyu, sister is not trying to sow discord between you and your mother-in-law; I just have something to tell you.”

Shen Sangyu raised her eyebrows.

How long had it been since she left, and already Li Shuhua and her daughter were starting to make trouble?

Shen Sangyu lowered her eyebrows and leaned closer to Cao Ruyue, pretending to be at a loss: “Sister, you say; I’m listening.”

Seeing this, Cao Ruyue felt relieved but also very distressed that Shen Sangyu had to face such a mother-in-law.

“After you left today, your mother-in-law chatted with the people in the family compound, saying that you… were not filial.”

Shen Sangyu didn’t have the slightest surprise on her face but was very curious about what Li Shuhua had said.

Cao Ruyue continued: “What else can she say? She just claims you look down on them because they are from the countryside and that you don’t give them food. Anyway, there is nothing good to say.”

Cao Ruyue was very clear about what she liked and hated. When she got excited, she leaned forward and made a sound, then couldn’t help but slap herself when she realized it.

But seeing that Shen Sangyu didn’t seem angry, Cao Ruyue felt relieved. She was still worried: “I’m really not trying to sow discord between you, but she came so suddenly, and the things she brought for you two are still… Anyway, you should trust your sister-in-law for once, and be careful of your mother-in-law.”

Cao Ruyue now regarded Shen Sangyu as a younger sister.

She used to think Shen Sangyu was hateful, but when she thought about it carefully, Shen Sangyu had no mother, and her father was rarely seen except for sending money, so it was inevitable that she was a little spoiled.

Now she was so well-behaved that people wanted to get close to her when they saw her.

Now she cooks for Shen Sangyu, and the little girl not only says thank you but also gives her Hu Zi candy from time to time.

She had never even heard of that chocolate.

Shen Sangyu could see Cao Ruyue’s sincerity, so she nodded: “Don’t worry, sister-in-law.

If they are honest, I will naturally take good care of them, but if they are not honest, I am not easy to mess with.”

Cao Ruyue: “That’s right. Although the other party is your mother-in-law, we as daughters-in-law should be filial, but we can’t be too filial.”

Shen Sangyu smiled slightly: “I will trouble sister-in-law to serve them the fried meat later.”

“Okay, sister.”

Shen Sangyu said and left happily.

Shen Sangyu and Wen Qingchuan had dinner in the hospital and went back only after they were full.

After all, there were two people at home, and Shen Sangyu had to go back anyway.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Li Shuhua sitting on the bench with a gloomy face, as if she were about to ask for punishment.

Shen Sangyu adopted an innocent look: “Mom, it’s so late; why don’t you go to bed?”

Li Shuhua was so angry that she finally said, “You’re going to give us this tonight?”

Shen Sangyu didn’t understand and looked at the pot of meat on the table. It seemed that the food made by Cao Ruyue was untouched.

Before Li Shuhua could accuse her, Shen Sangyu took the lead and said loudly: “Mom, don’t you like it? I asked Cao’s wife to make it for you!”

Li Shuhua’s forehead was exposed with veins. She wanted to scold her, but Shen Sangyu’s eyes were too innocent. She didn’t know how to start for a moment.

At this time, Wen Chunyan walked out of Shen Sangyu’s room, wearing a long black coat, and said arrogantly: “Who eats this kind of thing? Sister-in-law, you too; we finally came here, so why don’t you make something delicious for us?”

Shen Sangyu didn’t answer, staring at Wen Chunyan without blinking: “Chunyan, if I remember correctly, this dress should be mine, right?”
