Chapter 202 Everything Depends on Fate

Wu Jingrou complained, "Weiwei, the questions on this exam were so difficult. I don't think I'll do well."

Shen Xuewei, who was in a relatively good mood, comforted her, "It's okay. Look how hard you usually work. If you don't do well on the exam, there are plenty of people who are much worse than you."

Wu Jingrou is a truly hard-working student; she studies in class and also after class.

Even during lunch break and before going to bed at night, whenever Shen Xuewei had free time, he would ask her.

Her thirst for knowledge greatly impressed Shen Xuewei, who taught her as much as she could.

However, she is a little slow to grasp concepts, and even after being explained to her many times, she still cannot solve some of the more difficult problems.

However, she had tried her best to learn. Although she couldn't answer the difficult questions, she had a decent foundation.

I can occasionally get into the top 15 in my class, which is considered good academic performance.

Wu Jingrou thought about it and realized that it was indeed true, and the discomfort in her heart subsided slightly.

The two returned to their dormitory, packed their belongings, and went home with their bags.

Shen Xuewei and Wu Yuhong squeezed onto a tricycle and returned to Xiaoli Village.

Upon returning home, Grandma Xi greeted him warmly and asked after his well-being.

"Are you done with the exam?"

Shen Xuewei nodded, "Yes, the exam is over."

As they were talking, a gust of cold wind blew by outside, and Shen Xuewei sneezed from the cold.

Grandma Xi pushed her, saying, "It's so cold outside, why aren't you wearing more clothes? What if you catch a cold and get a fever? Let's warm up by the fire first..."

Shen Xuewei sat down by the fire pit, and soon Da Huang came over and lay down at her feet.

A gust of wind blew outside, and Grandma Xi, feeling cold, couldn't help but stomp her feet and go to close the door.

After dinner, Shen Xuewei boiled water for the whole family, took a bath first, and then filled a tub for Granny Chen to take a bath as well.

After finishing everything, she returned to her room, took out her phone from her bag, and plugged it in to charge.

As soon as the TV was turned on, people from other households in the village braved the wind and snow to come to Chen's house to watch TV.

Shen Xuewei was lying on the bed, half-closing her eyes and dozing off, when suddenly there were two knocks on the door.

Shen Xuewei suddenly woke up, put her phone in the drawer, and asked loudly:

Who is it?

Wu Yuhong's voice came from outside, "Weiwei, it's me."

Shen Xuewei threw off the blanket, put on a thick coat, and got out of bed to open the door for her.

"Come in."

Wu Yuhong moved the chair in front of her desk over and started talking to Shen Xuewei.

"Weiwei, I'm going to town to sell my hair the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? It's market day, so there should be plenty of things to buy."

Shen Xuewei gave her a few candies. "We'll see. I'm not sure if I'll go or not. If the sun is out, I'll go. If not, I won't."

It was freezing cold, and Shen Xuewei really didn't want to go out.

Wu Yuhong sighed softly, "Alright."

Shen Xuewei leaned against the bed and casually asked, "Aren't they all watching TV? Why aren't you watching?"

Wu Yuhong said, "Have you forgotten? It's news time now, and you know I hate watching the news."

Shen Xuewei almost forgot about this. She picked up the newly bought CD from the table and waved it in front of Wu Yuhong.

"This is a new one I bought; it contains movies I haven't seen before. It's so cold lately, you probably don't need to go out in the fields, right?"

"Would you like to come here to watch a movie after breakfast tomorrow morning?"

Wu Yuhong nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's a deal."

The two then talked for a long time, and the news broadcast ended, followed by the soundtrack of a TV series.

Wu Yuhong stood up. "Weiwei, it's time for the TV series to start. Let's go downstairs and watch it."

Shen Xuewei yawned and lay lazily on the bed.

"I'm not going, you go ahead and go. It's too cold, I just want to stay in bed."

"Okay, then you go to sleep, I'll go downstairs to watch TV, and I'll go home later."

Wu Yuhong left, closing the door behind her.

Shen Xuewei lay in bed, took out her phone, replied to Shen Xuewen's message, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Wu Yuhong arrived at the Chen family's house as promised to watch a movie.

Shen Xuewei put on a movie and watched it with Wu Yuhong in front of the TV.

A short while later, another person arrived at the Chen family's house.

Hearing the noise, Shen Xuewei and the other turned around and saw Lu Qingqing walking in.

When Lu Qingqing saw Shen Xuewei, she looked around and asked, "Weiwei, is your grandmother home?"

Shen Xuewei nodded, then called out towards the elderly couple's room:

"Grandma, your cousin's wife is here to chat with you."

"Coming!" Grandma Xi, who was looking for something in the room, responded and came out of the room.

While brushing the dust off her clothes, she greeted them, "Qingqing's here! Sit down, sit down, watch TV with the two little ones to pass the time."

Lu Qingqing looked troubled and gently shook her head, saying, "No, Auntie. I just wanted to talk to you."

Grandma Xi then invited her to warm herself by the fire in the kang (heated brick bed), and asked her with concern:

"What's wrong? Did you have another fight with A-Dong?"

"It's not A-Dong, A-Dong and I have been getting along really well lately." After explaining, she couldn't help but pour out her troubles to Grandma Xi:

"It's all because of my mother-in-law. In this freezing weather, I was washing diapers, and I only used a little hot water, and she kept saying I was wasting firewood and didn't know how to manage the household..."

The two women were speaking quite loudly, and Shen Xuewei and Wu Yuhong listened intently in the hall.

Wu Yuhong leaned close to Shen Xuewei's ear and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, her mother-in-law will also be coming to see your grandmother tonight."

There are only four households in the village. The woman of one household has a bad temper, and the woman of the other household, Wu Yuhong's mother, is a big mouth.

Lu Qingqing spoke to her twice, then turned around and told her everything to her second maternal grandmother, which led to another battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. After that, Lu Qingqing was no longer willing to talk to her.

This was tough on Grandma Xi. After listening to Lu Qingqing's complaints in the morning, she had to listen to Second Grandma's complaints in the evening.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took turns pouring out their grievances to Grandma Xi. Grandma Xi knew everything about their family, from the biggest fights to the smallest things, like a needle.

Shen Xuewei and her husband were both focused on two things at once. After watching the movie, they also learned that Lu Qingqing and her mother-in-law had another conflict.

Just because of washing diapers with hot water...

The second maternal grandmother, who always greets everyone with a smile, will find ways to torment and harass her daughter-in-law, constantly finding fault with her.

Perhaps because she was the first grandchild in her family, she treated her granddaughter quite well.

When the baby turned one month old, a special celebration was held.

But he didn't have that same patience with Lu Qingqing.

The baby is only five months old, and she is already urging Chen Fangdong and Lu Qingqing to have a second child, saying that they should have a son as soon as possible.

Lu Qingqing also wanted to give birth to a boy as soon as possible, so that her second maternal grandmother would stop bothering her all the time.

However, having a child isn't something you can just decide to do; it all depends on fate.
