Before her rebirth, Shen Xuewei was over thirty years old. After seven years of estrangement from her family and many years of hard work, she finally had her own small home.
After her rebirth...
Chapter 125 Peaceful and Fulfilling
Chen Fangli snatched her schoolbag, put the money into a compartment, and then zipped it up.
“Your second aunt gave it to you, and your second aunt gave it to you. If you don’t accept it, your second aunt will ignore you from now on.”
Shen Xuewei tried to unzip her zipper to take out the money, but Chen Fangli forcefully suppressed her.
Unable to persuade her otherwise, the money remained safely in Shen Xuewei's schoolbag.
Chen Fangli saw her off onto the bus to town, and only went home after watching the bus disappear around the corner of the road.
After returning to school, Shen Xuewei did not go to the internet cafe as usual, but went straight to the computer classroom.
No class usually uses the computer lab during evening self-study, and tomorrow it's Shen Xuewei's group's turn to clean other parts of the school.
Shen Xuewei cleaned the computer lab in advance and took out the trash before turning on the computer to create her work.
The CEO romance novel that Shen Xuewei had been conceiving finally received its title when she had written 80,000 words of the manuscript.
"The CEO Chases His Wife: The Sweet and Savage Secretary Can't Escape"
Looking at the book title that had been painstakingly come up with, Shen Xuewei fell silent for a moment.
Just by looking at the title, you can imagine all sorts of chase scenes inside.
She had done her best to come up with this title.
After deciding on the title, she continued writing from the previous 80,000 words.
During this time, Yunli saw that she was online and chatted with her for a while.
As Shen Xuewei wrote and chatted, time flew by. More than five hours seemed to pass in the blink of an eye, and it was already past 6:40.
Shen Xuewei looked at the 20,000 words she had just finished writing and smiled with satisfaction. She saved the document and made a copy on her USB drive.
After deleting the desktop history, she turned off the computer, locked the door, and left.
After Lu Yonggui was dealt with, he became very well-behaved and did not cause Shen Xuewei any more trouble.
Shen Xuewei's life at school became peaceful and fulfilling.
She recalled her aunt's words that day, and the way the middle-aged man looked at her that day, and felt waves of nausea rose in her heart.
That person probably has that kind of fetish...
During the break, she ran to Class 6 of the second year of junior high school and called Wu Yuhong out.
"Weiwei, what's wrong?" Wu Yuhong came out of the classroom and stood with her on the side of the corridor, asking in confusion.
Shen Xuewei pulled her closer and whispered:
"Did you see those people who went to build houses at my grandmother's house?"
Wu Yuhong nodded, "I see, there are quite a lot of people. I heard they're going to build a two-story house, so in a few months you'll be able to move into your new house."
Shen Xuewei just smiled and then said, "Let's not talk about that. You shouldn't contact them alone, especially one of them..."
She described the person's appearance, and Wu Yuhong knew who she was talking about.
"Okay, I got it. Anyway, when I go out to chop firewood or work in the fields, I usually go with my mom, except when I'm at home. My dad is usually at home too."
Shen Xuewei felt slightly relieved, but still reminded him, "Just remember what I said. If anything goes wrong, remember to call for help loudly."
I'd rather she's overthinking things than believe there might be a real possibility of something going wrong.
On Friday after school, she and Wu Yuhong still rode home together.
Although Shen Xuewei hasn't returned to Xiaoli Village for the past few months, Fuxing Village is on the way back to Xiaoli Village, so they'll be traveling in the same car. She'll just get off early.
During the weekend, the happiest person was Chu De'an, who dragged her around the whole village.
On Saturday, Chen Fangli was going back to the Chen family home to help with cooking, and told the two of them to stay in the village and not wander off.
After the two agreed, she slowly rode away on her bicycle.
Besides her, Chu Yongqiang also went along.
Chu Yongqiang is currently pursuing Chen Fanglan ardently. After learning that the Chen family is building a new house, he has been frequently accompanying Chen Fangli to Xiaoli Village to help out.
As Shen Xuewei watched their departing figures, she thought to herself that her aunt and uncle would probably be together again in this life.
Seeing Chen Fangli walk away, Chu De'an cheered.
He went back inside to get some clothes and shouted at Chen Xuewei, "Sister, let's go swimming in the river!"
Shen Xuewei snapped out of her daze and said calmly, "You're not allowed to go."
Chu De'an stared wide-eyed. "Why?"
Shen Xuewei bent down, picked up a bamboo stick from the side, and waved it at him in a show of defiance.
"Just with the whip in my hand. And..."
She called out to Grandpa Chu, who had just come out of the carpenter's shop, "Grandpa Chu, De'an wants to sneak off to play in the river."
Grandpa Chu paused, turned around, and scolded Chu De'an:
"Xiao An, you're not allowed to go, do you hear me?"
Chu De'an immediately deflated, "I know, I'm not going."
After Grandpa Chu returned to his room, Chu De'an began to accuse Shen Xuewei.
"Sis, how could you tell on me? I'm breaking off all ties with you!"
Shen Xuewei laughed and said, "Why can't I tattle?"
Before Chu De'an could continue speaking, she threw down the bamboo stick in her hand and walked towards the village store.
"Would you like some ice cream?"
Chu De'an instantly forgot about Shen Xuewei's earlier complaint and eagerly followed after her.
"Sis, I want to eat! I want two."
"I'll eat. But didn't you just say you were going to break up with me?"
"Who said that? I didn't say anything like that. Sis, you must have misheard. Oh dear, let's hurry up and go, I still want to go to Xiaotang's house to watch TV later..."
Meanwhile, Chen Fangli and Chu Yongqiang arrived at Xiaoli Village and immediately got to work.
The September sun was still very strong. Everyone worked together to dig the foundation pit, and their clothes were gradually soaked with sweat.
It's rare to see the two brothers, Chen Fangyang and Chen Fangqiu, working together here.
However, Chen Fangyang could only work for less than an hour before he couldn't take it anymore.
Looking left and right, he found no one paying attention to him, so he dropped what he was holding and ran home to take a nap.
No sooner had he left than Chen Fangqiu discovered he had run away, and chased him all the way home, pulling him up with a dark expression.
"stand up!"
Chen Fangyang opened his eyes impatiently and casually tossed him a few bills.
"Mind your own business. Anyway, I promised to come back and help, and I've been working for an hour just now. I'm exhausted, can't I even take a break? You can do whatever you want, I didn't say you couldn't."
"Take the money and finish my share for today."
Chen Fangqiu let go of his hand and silently looked at the few red banknotes that had fallen to the ground.
Let him do it!
This person suddenly became wealthy, and even his previous stinginess turned into generosity... He could casually give away hundreds of dollars.
I don't know which expert guided him to take this path, but he actually found the right one.
He took the money, silently returned to the crowd, and continued working.
With no one to disturb him, Chen Fangyang finally got a good night's sleep.
Chen Fangli and Grandma Xi worked for two hours and finally cooked a big pot of rice and several dishes. Then they shouted for everyone to come and eat.
Xiaoli Village is such a small place that if you shout from home, the whole village can hear you.
Hearing the call to eat, everyone put down their tools and headed towards the Chen family's house together.
During the meal, someone asked about Shen Xuewei.
"Sister Xi, isn't it the weekend? Why hasn't your granddaughter come back?"
