Chapter 195 Shen Xuewen

Seeing that they were emotional and that neighbors were peeking out to see what was happening, Shen Jiaying quickly persuaded everyone to go inside.

"Alright, alright, you've come all this way, come inside and rest before we talk."

Chen Fangmin wiped away her tears, "Yes, yes, everyone come in first, let's talk properly after we come in."

Grandma Xi was supported by her. It had been a long time since she had been so close to her, and her face was full of joy at the reunion.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk."

As she followed Chen Fangmin into the house, she made sure to have Chen Fangyang and Chen Fangqiu take out the gifts they had prepared for Chen Fangmin and her two grandsons from the trunk.

The two carried all the items that had filled the trunk into the house and placed them in an empty bedroom.

Everyone sat in the living room on the first floor, chatting animatedly.

Grandma Xi pinched the flesh on Chen Fangmin's arm and looked her overweight body.

"You've gained weight over the years. That's good; it means you have a blessed appearance."

Well... isn't this belly a bit too big?

Seeing Grandma Xi staring at her stomach, Chen Fangmin burst out laughing and pressed Grandma Xi's hand onto her own stomach.

"Mom, guess what's in here?"

Grandma Xi touched her belly and hesitated before asking, "Is this what you ate for lunch?"

Otherwise, why would she have such a big belly?

Chen Fangmin rolled her eyes at her and said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, what are you talking about? How can you say something like that?"

She glanced at Shen Jiaying, whose gaze, as he looked at her belly, was both gentle and tinged with a hint of pride and smugness.

"Mom, there's another good news I haven't told you yet. Amin is pregnant, and she's almost seven months along."

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden news, and Shen Xuewei was so shocked by this unexpected news that she lost control of her expression.

No, this didn't happen in my previous life either.

Wasn't her mother forced to go to the hospital to have an IUD inserted right after giving birth to her brother?

She's already got an IUD, how could she still get pregnant?

The butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth, besides herself, also brought her an unknown younger brother and sister.

No wonder she thought her mom looked a bit too fat.

So, she's pregnant!

At this moment, Shen Xuewei didn't know what to think.

After calming down, Chen Fangmin beckoned to Shen Xuewen and Shen Xuewu, who were standing nearby, to come over.

"Come here, these are your maternal grandparents and your uncles. This is your second uncle... and this is your youngest uncle, whom I met in Huacheng before. Greet them quickly."

Her gaze fell on Chen Fangqiu, her expression showing some displeasure, but she managed to suppress it and said nothing.

Shen Xuewu, who was about to turn eleven, had a fair complexion and was dressed neatly. He greeted everyone politely.

"Grandpa and Grandma, Second Uncle and Youngest Uncle, hello, I am Xuewu, you can just call me Xiaowu."

He looked at Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi, his tone warm and affectionate, "My mom often talks about Grandpa and Grandma Xi, so please come visit often in the future."

Chen Fangmin looked at Shen Xuewu with a proud expression:

"Mom and Dad, this is Xiaowu, whom I often tell you about. He's in fifth grade now, and he's almost always first in his class. He can also draw, and he learns everything quickly and well..."

The elderly couple also developed a fondness for Shen Xuewu, who was so outstanding.

"Okay, okay, study hard."

The elderly couple took out the wallets they had prepared beforehand from their pockets and stuffed them into Shen Xuewu's hand.

"Here, this is a red envelope from your grandparents. Keep it safe."

Shen Xuewu accepted it, "Yes, thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."

After Shen Xuewei greeted Grandma Xi and the others, Chen Fangmin urged Shen Xuewen on.

"Xiaowen, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and greet your grandparents!"

Shen Xuewen, who had been silent until now, pursed his lips, quickly looked up at everyone, and greeted them in a low voice.

"Hello, maternal grandparents, and second and youngest uncles."

He looked at Shen Xuewei, who seemed to be detached from the crowd, and said, "Hello, little sister."

Looking at the tall, slender boy in front of her, with a taut jawline and a somewhat gloomy and silent demeanor, Shen Xuewei blinked, forcing back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.

A smile spread across her face as she spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Brother, how are you? I've missed you terribly these past few years."

Shen Xuewen was a little stunned, and then lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, only letting out a soft "hmm".

Chen Fangmin was already used to his taciturn manner.

She habitually said to Shen Xuewen, "I told you to call for help, but you didn't say much. You should learn from your brother."

Turning back to Grandma Xi and the others, he said, "Mom and Dad, that's just how this child is. He doesn't talk much and isn't as outgoing as Xiao Wu. You'll get used to it."

Grandma Xi responded and looked at Shen Xuewen carefully again. "He's a good boy. Here, take this red envelope from Grandma."

Shen Xuewen stiffly accepted the red envelope, whispered a thank you, and then stepped aside.

Grandma Xi pushed Shen Xuewei in front of Chen Fangmin, "Come here, Amin, look who this is."

Shen Xuewei looked down at Chen Fangmin and called out.

"mom."

Chen Fangmin looked at Shen Xuewei, her eyes momentarily dazed.

She hesitated and reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Shen Xuewei, but Shen Xuewei took a step back without making a sound.

Chen Fangmin's fingertips brushed past Shen Xuewei's, and as if realizing what was happening, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Her smile faded slightly, and she nodded to Shen Xuewei.

"Yes, once you're here, make yourself at home. This is your home too."

Shen Xuewei coldly replied, "I know," and then moved to Shen Xuewen's side, pulling him to sit down on the other sofa.

The young man before her, with his youthful and somewhat awkward appearance, gradually overlapped with the young man from her past life who trembled with fear yet still stood in front of her, promising to support her education.

Shen Xuewen's grades were not good. In his previous life, he finished junior high school but did not continue his studies. Instead, he went to work in a factory.

At that time, apart from her, the rest of the Shen family were developing in Jinshi. Shen Xuewen went to work as a temporary worker in a hardware factory. Later, when she reached the required age, she became a permanent worker and worked there for several years.

Shen Xuewei stayed in the countryside to attend junior high school; Chen Fangmin and Shen Jiaying initially did not intend for her to go to high school.

After she took the high school entrance exam, the two sent money back so she could take a bus to Jinshi to work.

Shen Xuewei had always been obedient and dared not resist. She packed a few clothes and boarded a train to Jinshi, where she went to a garment factory.

She didn't want to give up her studies, but she was too timid to tell her parents.

When I was exhausted after get off work in the evening, I went back to the place my family rented and hid on the rooftop to cry.

Shen Xuewen didn't know how long he listened until she finished crying, then he handed her a tissue and asked if she wanted to study.

Shen Xuewei nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shen Xuewen didn't say anything, but when the whole family was together that evening, he asked Shen Jiaying and Chen Fangmin to let her go back to high school.

Shen Xuewei had never seen Shen Xuewen like that before.

Shen Xuewen, who was always timid and had never spoken loudly to Shen Jiaying and Chen Fangmin, shielded her behind him and faced their anger alone, drawing all the flames of war upon himself.
