As men, no one knew better than He Jun what Shen's father was thinking.

He knew perfectly well what was going on here, but out of pride, he never got involved and just waited for the outcome.

After all, his feelings for Shen Fenghua were even more negligible.

According to He Jun, among the Shen family, apart from the two three- or four-year-old children, only Wan Shuhua, their daughter-in-law, was somewhat acceptable. Although she had her own little schemes, it was understandable.

With limited family resources, one must strive and fight for anything to make life better.

Wan Shuhua wanted it, but she never harbored any intention to harm anyone. At most, she would shamelessly ask Shen Fenghua for it; if she could get it, great, if not, so be it.

As for Shen Jianguo, the eldest brother, he is also of the same lineage as his father.

A master at feigning deafness and dumbness.

He Jun's analysis was spot on, and Li Yanran nodded in agreement, "Who can argue with that? But it's good that they did it this way. At least Feng Hua doesn't feel guilty when she makes her move."

He Jun thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s not dwell on it anymore,” Li Yanran wiped her face. “Go to sleep. Don’t go out driving for a while. Take care of Feng Hua’s matter first, then you can go out. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest easy.”

"Okay, okay," He Jun promised, "I'll do whatever you say."

Having said all that, Li Yanran suddenly felt a bit resentful towards Qi Ye, "You know, that kid Qi Ye, he used to spend all his free time hanging around Feng Hua, but now that we need him, he's vanished without a trace."

"Oh dear, that's just the nature of his job, don't you know? So many military wives are pregnant, but the soldiers still have to go out."

There is always a choice to be made between the greater good and one's own family.

"Alright," He Jun smiled and kissed Li Yanran on the top of her head. "Life is like you said, only the person drinking the water knows whether it's hot or cold. As long as they're both doing well, our opinions don't matter, right?"

Li Yanran was speechless. How should she put it? She suddenly realized that what He Jun said really made sense.

The couple went to bed.

Shen Fenghua, who was sleeping soundly in the next room, felt relieved, realizing that even the worst outcome couldn't be worse.

Moreover, now that I know their plans, I am in a favorable position.

Without expectations, there will be no disappointment. This is for the best. After this experience, the two sides will go their separate ways. Whatever kind of life they lead will have nothing to do with me anymore.

Without those annoying flies around, Shen Fenghua felt wonderful just thinking about it.

The next morning, after breakfast, Shen Fenghua and Li Yanran headed to the steel factory looking radiant. On the way, Li Yanran carefully observed Shen Fenghua's expression, and only after she realized that Shen Fenghua was genuinely happy did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"What, do you think I'm sad?"

"Hey, I thought you'd get stuck on something."

After all, directly realizing that your parents don't love you and that they don't care about you at all are completely different experiences.

“There’s no point in dwelling on this,” Shen Fenghua sighed. “This has shattered my last illusion. Once I have leverage over them, I’ll cut ties with them. Then we’ll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.”

"You're not planning on getting revenge?"

Shen Fenghua laughed. "Revenge? How can I take revenge? Kill them all?"

After saying this, Shen Fenghua realized that she had been too extreme. "It's not necessary. Besides, it's not worth it to get myself involved for the sake of that bunch of filthy people."

She wouldn't kill anyone, but Shen Fenghua would be more than happy to cause them some trouble.

Shen Huixiu's words...

She now has two possible outcomes: either she will fail and go to the countryside as an educated youth, or she will give up on herself after the deed is done and marry that scoundrel, staying in the city.

No matter which one it is, Shen Fenghua has a way of making her suffer unbearably.

Thinking of this, a sly glint flashed in Shen Fenghua's eyes. She tilted her head and said coquettishly, "At most, I'll just cause them some more trouble and bad luck."

Moreover, given Shen Huixiu's petty nature, she would be green with envy if I were doing well.

Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes Shen Fenghua feel so happy.

"Yes, you're right. We can't let two scoundrels ruin our lives."

After the two sisters reached a surprising consensus on this matter, they went to work with smiles on their faces.

After a peaceful day, before leaving get off work, Li Yanran instructed, "No matter what, if you feel anything is wrong, you must run first. Don't be reckless. If anything happens, contact me and your older brother first, understand?"

“I’ve got it,” Shen Fenghua said, feeling a warm glow in her heart. “But I’m not planning to go back yet,” she said, shaking the military green backpack in her hand. “I’ll go to the military compound to see the kids after work.”

"Oh, what did you prepare?" Li Yanran teased with a smile. "It's not a meal you prepared yourself, is it? If so, I advise you to be careful. A perfectly healthy child might end up in the hospital after eating your meal."

Shen Fenghua: "...???"

This is humiliating, isn't it? This really is.

"Sister Yanran, you're so annoying!"

Li Yanran sighed, "It's not that I hate you, I'm just telling the truth. With your cooking skills, you shouldn't even bother in the kitchen. It's a waste of your time."
