Chapter 81: Zhuang Xiuhong
Shen Sangyu was taken aback for a moment, then she understood what Uncle Liu meant.
For the past 28 years, Wen Qingchuan had no family, but now he is married and has re-established a small family, so Uncle Liu would say that.
But she is not the original owner after all. She occupies someone else’s body and her feelings.
Even if Wen Qingchuan said that he has no feelings for the original owner, this body belongs to the original owner. She is like an outsider. If one day she returns to the original world, what should Wen Qingchuan do?
There is a time difference of more than 40 years between them.
Shen Sangyu took a deep breath, her face not looking good.
“What’s wrong?” Wen Qingchuan felt that Shen Sangyu’s mood seemed off and asked quickly.
Shen Sangyu shook her head: “It’s okay.”
As if she had figured something out, Shen Sangyu looked at Wen Qingchuan quietly and said seriously: “Uncle Liu is right, Wen Qingchuan, you have a home.”
She also has a home.
Wen Qingchuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded heavily.
At noon, Shen Sangyu and Wen Qingchuan had dinner at Liu’s house.
Aunt Liu’s cooking skills are good. The chicken soup is fresh, fragrant and soft. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu kept putting vegetables into her bowl. Finally, she couldn’t eat any more, so Wen Qingchuan finished it for her.
Aunt Liu didn’t say much. She watched the interaction between the young couple at the dinner table silently with a smile on her face.
“Sangyu, eat more.”
Shen Sangyu’s stomach was about to explode, but she nodded obediently: “We’ll eat in the evening.”
After saying that, Shen Sangyu paused, because they didn’t invite her to dinner at all!
Thinking of this, Shen Sangyu looked at Aunt Liu with some embarrassment.
Aunt Liu said happily: “Okay, we’ll eat in the evening then!”
Shen Sangyu was a little embarrassed, and when she saw Wen Qingchuan didn’t say anything, she nodded.
The Liu family was happy, but the atmosphere in the Wen family was a little dull.
It was almost noon, and the kitchen of the Wen family was still cold. Li Shuhua, who came back from work, was furious when he saw that no one was cooking, and immediately slapped Wen Chunyan.
Wen Chunyan didn’t expect her mother to hit her, and she felt wronged: “Mom, didn’t you say to let Shen Sangyu cook, and I just came back!”
Li Shuhua’s face was livid: “Then tell me where your sister-in-law is?”
Wen Chunyan didn’t know where Li Shuhua went, but the second daughter-in-law Zhuang Xiuhong, who hadn’t married yet, said: “I saw my eldest brother and sister-in-law when I passed by the Liu family before.”
After Zhuang Xiuhong finished speaking, there was suddenly some doubt in her eyes: “Mom, you don’t have a good relationship with your eldest brother and sister-in-law?”
Li Shuhua’s face immediately froze, and she quickly denied: “How is it possible? If you have a good relationship with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, then they would come all the way to attend your wedding?”
Zhuang Xiuhong hesitated.
Indeed, it is not so easy to ask for leave in the army, and no one will say anything even if they don’t come back.
It’s just that today she found out that her eldest brother and sister-in-law lived in the utility room, and they went to visit the Liu family without eating at home, as if it had nothing to do with the Wen family.
Zhuang Xiuhong thought about it and always felt that something was wrong, but she still said, “Mom, I heard that my eldest brother is doing well in the army. That means he has connections.
After we have established good relationships, our family will not have to worry about not having a good job. And there is also my eldest sister-in-law.
Although she has a bad temper, my aunt is a military wife. She lives in the same family compound as her. My eldest sister-in-law works in a translation agency and makes at least 100 yuan a month.”
Li Shuhua was shocked. She didn’t know all this.
“So much money?”
Zhuang Xiuhong didn’t expect Li Shuhua didn’t know about this, but she nodded anyway: “Isn’t it?”
Li Shuhua didn’t say anything on her face, but she was not very happy in her heart. The eldest brother’s family can earn at least more than 100 yuan a month, but they only give the family 5 yuan a month?
The price of vegetables changes every day, but the monthly living expenses remain the same. Even if Wen Qingchuan calls, he won’t listen.
But she can’t say these words.
Li Shuhua was truly satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Zhuang Xiuhong was a workshop worker, her parents had not yet retired, and her company had allocated her a house. She was considered an educated family in the city. In the end, her family was marrying up.
The reason why Zhuang Xiuhong liked her son was because of Wen Qingchuan.
Zhuang Xiuhong had a relative who followed the army in Sijiu City. She knew that Wen Qingchuan was the youngest regimental-level cadre in the military region. There was no second one in the entire military region, so he had a bright future.
Zhuang Xiuhong looked at the new house built at home, and the Zhuang family was also very satisfied. Although she was marrying down, at least she had someone who could support the family.
After Li Shuhua knew about it, she didn’t dare to say harsh words to this second daughter-in-law, for fear that she would know that she had a bad relationship with the eldest son’s family.
Zhuang Xiuhong didn’t notice that Li Shuhua was wrong. After thinking for a while, she said, “Mom, Wen Chao and I will get married in five days. My dad said that he would invite you to the city for dinner tomorrow.”
Li Shuhua immediately realized that this was not an invitation for them, but an invitation for the eldest son and his wife.
But Li Shuhua promised that she would be free tomorrow.
After a simple lunch, Wen Qingchuan and Shen Sangyu also came back.
Then everyone in the Wen family saw the two of them enter the house and took out a box and Shen Sangyu’s snack bag.
Li Shuhua was confused: “What are you doing with the box?”
Shen Sangyu said: “Mom, this room is too small, and there is no extra room at home. It just so happens that Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu have an empty room at home, so we will live in Liu’s house these days.”
After saying this, everyone was stunned.
Li Shuhua subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhuang Xiuhong, and sure enough, Zhuang Xiuhong frowned, her eyes full of inquiry.
“It’s not that there is no room at home! The old couple in the Liu family are so old, wouldn’t you bother them if you go there?” Li Shuhua said hurriedly.
Shen Sangyu said: “How could it be, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are old, we can still help them, and our room is indeed a little small, it’s difficult for two people to turn over when sleeping together. I think there is no extra room for us at home, it’s better to live outside.”
Wen Qingchuan still said nothing.
He knew about the house purchase and even sent money home. He thought that even if Li Shuhua didn’t like him, she would at least leave him a room.
But he was disappointed.
If he came back by himself, it would be fine. Now that Sangyu is by his side, there is no reason for him to suffer together.
But this result is obviously not what Li Shuhua wants.
If his son does not live in his own home but goes to someone else’s home when he comes home, where will the face of the Wen family be?
And Zhuang Xiuhong is still watching!
Li Shuhua said anxiously: “What will you look like when you go out! If it doesn’t work, your father and I will live in your room. Is that okay?”
Shen Sangyu: “How can this be done? That room is not a place for people to live. How can you and your father live in a utility room? Qingchuan and I have considered it and will live in the Liu family.”
Zhuang Xiuhong saw that the situation was not right, and immediately knew in her heart that the relationship between the Wen family and Wen Qingchuan was so good.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Zhuang Xiuhong stepped forward appropriately and smiled slightly: “Sister-in-law, although I haven’t married yet, I called you in advance. My name is Zhuang Xiuhong.”
Shen Sangyu didn’t look at Zhuang Xiuhong, and didn’t hate or dislike her, so she just nodded lightly.
Zhuang Xiuhong wore a red long skirt, a pair of flesh-colored stockings, black leather shoes, and a white wavy hairband, and was dressed very fashionably.
But she felt that she always felt ashamed when standing in front of Shen Sangyu.
Zhuang Xiuhong knew that Shen Sangyu was very capable, and that the family had something to ask of the eldest wife of the Wen family, so she was very polite to Shen Sangyu: “Sister-in-law, don’t mind what mom said. Wen Chao and I won’t be home these days. How about you and brother live in my room?”
Wen Chao wanted to refuse immediately, but Zhuang Xiuhong winked at her man.
Wen Chao didn’t dare to speak immediately.
Without waiting for Shen Sangyu to agree, Zhuang Xiuhong said, “By the way, my parents want to invite everyone to a big restaurant in the city for dinner tomorrow. Brother and sister-in-law must come.”
This time Shen Sangyu didn’t speak, but Wen Qingchuan spoke.
His refusal was very obvious: “We will go back for dinner tomorrow. The room is your and Wen Chao’s new house. It is not suitable for us to live in it.”
