Chapter 257 Peace and Prosperity

She felt that she might not only fail to save her aunt and the others, but might even die before them.

Her voice suddenly became weak and ethereal.

"How come...you don't have a driver's license..."

Xu Yue glanced at Shen Xuewei and then noticed that Shen Xuewei had actually shed tears.

She quickly comforted her, "Don't cry. Although I don't have a driver's license, Aunt Cui says I drive well. I often help her drive to deliver goods, so this isn't my first time driving."

"Don't worry, I've never had an accident while driving. I've always been very safe."

The car drove right over a slightly large puddle, and it suddenly lurched and shook violently.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Yue's face. "This is the first time I've driven this fast... It was just an accident."

Shen Xuewei remained silent, simply pointing out the way to her.

We're already on the bus, we can't just stop halfway and flag down any other bus, can we?

Although she was driving without a license and was terrified, she...accepted it in order to get back to save her aunt as soon as possible!

This was the first time Shen Xuewei hadn't gotten carsick while riding in a car. She stared intently at the road ahead, her mind on edge.

Taking a "private car" also has its advantages. There are green lights all the way and no need to stop. In addition, the speed is extremely fast. In less than an hour and a half, the outline of Fuxing Village can be seen in front of us. We can even see Chen Fangli and Chu Fu walking slowly along the road.

Chu Dexi rode on Chu Fu's neck, his cheerful voice carrying far.

Shen Xuewei unbuckled her seatbelt, straightened up, and stared intently at the three of them.

"Xu Yue, stop under that tree. After you stop, drive the car a little further onto the side road. Don't park on the side of the road."

Xu Yue did as instructed, slowing down and parking the car next to a tree by the roadside.

Shen Xuewei opened the car door and quickly got out.

Xu Yue glanced at the dirt road in Fuxing Village and thought to herself, if she drove the car onto this road, wouldn't that block the villagers' way out?

But Shen Xuewei had just specifically mentioned it... Although she felt it was somewhat immoral, Xu Yue still stepped on the gas and drove the car onto the side road, completely blocking it.

After getting out of the car, Shen Xuewei ran towards Chen Fangli and the other two.

The short distance of a few dozen meters felt like two centuries to her.

As Chen Fangli and Chu Fu were talking, Chu Fu saw a disheveled person running towards them. He quickly put Chu Dexi down from his neck and pulled Chen Fangli to stop.

"Ali, there seems to be a madman up ahead, let's hide quickly."

Chen Fangli looked at the person he was referring to, and the next moment slapped Chu Fu's arm, angrily saying:

"What madman? That's Weiwei, okay? When did your eyes become blind?"

She quickened her pace and went to meet her.

"Weiwei, isn't today Wednesday? Why are you back? Did something happen? Or are you feeling unwell? Let me take a look..."

Shen Xuewei was panting heavily when she caught a glimpse of a large truck speeding towards her out of the corner of her eye. Without saying a word to Chen Fangli, she forcefully pushed her to the side of the road.

The roadside is farmland planted with corn by the villagers.

Chen Fangli fell into the cornfield. She wasn't hurt, but she was a little dazed.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Fu picked up Chu Dexi and came over, "Weiwei, what's wrong with you? Why did you push your second aunt?"

Shen Xuewei decisively pushed them both into the cornfield, and then jumped down herself.

The truck roared past, whipping up a gust of wind. Amid screams from nearby people, it crashed into the roadside railing, then onto the rocks of the mountainside, overturning to the ground, spilling its cargo from the truck bed.

A bright red tomato slowly rolled to Chu Fu's side.

Chu Fu glanced at the tomatoes beside his legs, then at the overturned truck in front of him, and swallowed hard, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

Just now... if Weiwei hadn't suddenly pushed them down, would that truck have smashed the three of them into mincemeat?

Chu Dexi's crying came from the side. Perhaps he was scared by the car accident, or perhaps the wound from being cut by the sharp edge of the corn leaf was too painful. He cried louder than ever before.

Chu Fu came to his senses and was about to leave when he suddenly heard another crying sound from the side.

Shen Xuewei first cried, then laughed, crying and laughing at the same time, like a madwoman.

Eight years after my rebirth, this day has finally arrived.

After this ordeal, everything will go smoothly and peacefully for my second aunt's family from now on.

With tears in her eyes, Chen Fangli covered Shen Xuewei's eyes and, just like when they were children, embraced her.

"No, Weiwei, we're not watching..."

She thought Shen Xuewei was scared because she had witnessed the car accident, so she tried her best to comfort her.

On the other side, the villagers whose road was blocked by the van were cursing whoever was blocking the road, until they saw the wrecked truck not far away and suddenly fell silent.

Xu Yue sat in the car and witnessed the truck crash and overturn, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She got out of the car and saw several villagers standing to the side. Just as she was about to apologize to them, they came over and thanked her instead.

Xu Yue looked at the villagers who had run over to check on the accident scene, feeling somewhat bewildered.

She shook her head and walked towards where Shen Xuewei and the others were.

After being comforted by Chen Fangli, Shen Xuewei composed herself, and the group stood up from the cornfield.

Xu Yue approached the group and said, "Weiwei, it looks like there's been a car accident. Should we go check on it?"

Remembering how frightened Shen Xuewei had been earlier, Chen Fangli spoke up for Shen Xuewei, saying:

"No, we're not going. We're not going to join in the fun. You're Weiwei's classmate, right?"

Xu Yue greeted her with a standard smile, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Weiwei's friend, and we both study at No. 1 Middle School."

Chen Fangli asked in bewilderment, "How did you get here today? Did you ask the teacher for leave?"

Xu Yue looked at Shen Xuewei, whose eyes darted around guiltily, but she didn't dare to meet Chen Fangli's gaze.

Seeing her like this, Chen Fangli already knew what was going on.

Well, it turns out these two kids snuck back without even asking for leave.

She took the crying Chu Dexi from Chu Fu's arms.

"Alright, let's go home first, and go to the market next time."

Shen Xuewei quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, let's go back first. Here, let me hold Kang Kang for you."

Chen Fangli glanced at her and didn't let her hug her.

“The child is crying right now and won’t go with anyone but me. You walk carefully and sit still when you get home. Don’t run around.”

Shen Xuewei followed obediently behind her, and Xu Yue followed behind her.

When the group returned home, Grandpa Chu was clearly surprised to see them.

"Weren't you supposed to be going to the market? Why are you back so soon? And Weiwei, why aren't you at school?"

Shen Xuewei looked up and smiled, "Grandpa Chu, I've come back to visit."

Grandpa Chu didn't understand and muttered to himself, "It's not a holiday or festival, what's the point of coming back to visit?"

He looked up again and saw that Shen Xuewei's eyes were red and swollen.

Hmm... I hope he wasn't bullied at school and ran home to cry to Ali.
