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 200 The Greatest Blessing
Whether it was the aftereffects of the three punches Chen Fangqiu delivered or the provocation of Shen Xuewei's words, Shen Jiaying was dizzy and lightheaded, but she forced herself to stay upright and not faint.
His pale lips trembled slightly, "I'm your father, not your enemy..."
Shen Xuewei nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes, I know, that's why I treat you like this."
At this moment, the Shen family must have truly felt like fainting.
He didn't know why Shen Xuewei had changed so much in just a few years, or whether she had always been this way.
But he dared not faint like that, for fear that if he did, Shen Xuewei would go around the village spreading rumors and ruining the reputation he had built up.
He appealed to Shen Xuewei's emotions, saying, "I'm your father, and I've loved you the most since you were little. Everything I've done is for your own good, so that our family can be reunited..."
Shen Xuewei interrupted him, "Dad, I'm in my third year of junior high school. I'm twelve years old this year, not two. Or do you think I'm like an idiot?"
The Shen family should quiet down.
He clutched his head in discomfort, looking at his daughter, who seemed like an adult, with a complex mix of emotions.
"Are you really going to stay with your grandparents and never come back, abandoning this family?"
“If you go back this time, you will be stuck there forever. I will never let you come back, and I will never acknowledge you as my daughter again.”
Shen Xuewei retorted, "Didn't you already pretend you didn't have a daughter like me?"
Shen Jiaying choked up and fell silent.
After a long pause, he seemed to have lost all his energy in an instant, and said in a trembling voice, "Whatever you want, whatever you want, then never come back again..."
Shen Xuewei stood up, staring into his eyes until he turned his face away. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
Hopefully, her connection with them ends here in this life, and she will never see them again.
She came out of the house and ran into Shen Xuewen, who was waiting outside.
Shen Xuewen glanced at the closed door behind her and asked in a low voice, "Did Dad... hit you or scold you?"
Shen Xuewei gently shook her head, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry, Dad treats me very well."
Isn't he just concerned about saving face?
She'll grant his wish now, but in the future... that's uncertain.
Shen Xuewen felt slightly relieved, but then he remembered the argument that had just broken out at home and the scene of his grandparents packing their things.
He paused, then asked, "Weiwei, are you leaving?"
Shen Xuewei looked at him, sighed softly, and nodded, saying, "Yes, we're leaving."
She pulled Shen Xuewen to the rooftop and took out the money she had prepared beforehand from her pocket to give it to him.
"Brother, keep this safe, don't let Mom, Dad, or Xiaowu see it."
"After you graduate, if you have the chance, you can come to see me. When I grow up a bit, I will come to see you too."
"Also, if you go out to work, you don't need to tell your parents how much money you earn each month. The less you tell, the better, okay?"
She's not the only one who's suffered in this family.
The house that Shen Xuewu wanted to buy in his previous life cost a full three million, and he had to pay in full.
Shen Xuewei calculated that there were approximately 600,000 yuan in these funds, which came from her contributions.
Her brother probably earned more than her, since he started working earlier than her, and his pre-marital salary was basically kept by her mother.
The couple bought a house for Shen Xuewu, but they still cared about Shen Xuewen to some extent, so they left the house in their hometown to Shen Xuewen.
However, Shen Xuewen rarely goes back to his hometown throughout the year.
This house was given to us in the first place, but it's as if we didn't receive it at all.
Shen Xuewen was overly honest; he answered every question they asked truthfully. They even knew exactly how much he earned in a month.
but……
Thinking of the shrewish wife her brother later married, Shen Xuewei looked at Shen Xuewen in front of her with a smile in her eyes, but dared not say anything more.
She was afraid that if she were to gossip again, she might cause her brother's wife to leave her.
Shen Xuewen held the money, his face full of conflict, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.
Shen Xuewei anticipated his actions and took two steps back when he stuffed the money back into her hands.
"Brother, you can keep it. Second Aunt, Little Aunt, and Second Uncle have all been very good to me. I have money. Just remember what I said."
Shen Xuewen nodded and replied with an "Mm".
After such a commotion today, Chen Fangyang was in a hurry to leave. Chen's maternal grandparents were somewhat disappointed in Chen Fangmin, and Chen Fangqiu was also urging them to go back quickly, so they had no choice but to pack their things and leave.
Chen Fangmin watched them silently until she saw Shen Xuewei also come out carrying things.
"Weiwei, where are you going?"
As Shen Xuewei walked out, she said, "I've already talked to Dad. I won't stay. You can stay home to take care of the baby after giving birth. Find someone else."
She pouted, "If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask him."
Chen Fangmin was skeptical, but she went back to her room to ask Shen Jiaying.
Having probably received confirmation from Shen Jiaying, she came out of the room and went to the car to watch them, without stopping Shen Xuewei from getting in.
Grandma Xi hesitated to get into the car, staring at Chen Fangmin for a long time.
Chen Fangmin looked reluctant to part with her and came forward to say a lot of things to her.
Just as Grandma Xi was overjoyed, Chen Fangmin asked:
"Mom, I think this car of ours must have cost a lot of money. I heard it belongs to Ah Yang. What kind of job does he do to earn so much?"
"If you know any ways to make money, could you please ask him about it for me..."
Grandma Xi's smile gradually faded, and she gave her a deep look.
"This is A-Yang's business, I don't know. A-Min, Mom is gone. If you miss her in the future, just call me. Don't say these things again."
She stepped into the car, sat in the back seat, and closed the door.
He didn't glance at Chen Fangmin outside again.
Chen Fangyang had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
Seeing that Grandma Xi had closed the car door, he immediately started the gas and drove away.
Shen Xuewei turned around and glanced through the car window at Chen Fangmin, who was staring blankly behind the car. Her gaze lingered on Chen Fangmin's stomach for a moment.
Her greatest wish for Chen Fangmin's unborn child was that it would be a boy.
If it's a girl, then she will be the next one.
No one in the car spoke, and Chen Fangyang didn't play any music. He occasionally glanced at the three silent people in the back seat, seemingly lost in thought.
Shen Xuewei was in a bad mood and had no intention of comforting anyone.
She put on her mask, closed her eyes, and let go of all the noise and distractions.
Grandma Xi glanced at the sleeping Shen Xuewei through Grandpa Chen, and tugged at Grandpa Chen's sleeve.
Grandpa Chen lowered his head, and she whispered, "Zhenyuan, let's not mention Weiwei's parents in front of her anymore."
"I think I've figured it out. Her parents... well, they're just not meant to be. Let's just leave it at that from now on."
As a mother, she couldn't speak ill of her own daughter.
She also bears some responsibility for how her daughter has become like this.
From now on, I won't force my granddaughter to be close to my daughter; we can just treat them as ordinary relatives.
Grandpa Chen didn't say anything, but he had the same thought in his heart.
