Chapter 101 Could it be the White Moonlight?

"But so many times, I saw that her clothes were soaked with breast milk."

"Does she not have enough breast milk?"

"My brother felt sorry for her and brought back some milk powder, but Jinshu still cries from hunger all the time, doesn't she?"

"She always acted sickly and unwell in front of her older brother."

"But what did she do?"

“Back then, my older sister, you, and I all helped her. She never washed a single diaper.”

“I told him she was deliberately not feeding the baby, and my brother scolded me, saying I was talking nonsense.”

"Later, when we arrived in Jinzhou, she had a threatened miscarriage. I saw it. She deliberately jumped down the stairs, saying that she was dizzy and fell."

"But I saw her jump."

“No one believes me. They insist that I saw it wrong, but I still have to say that I saw it clearly at the time. She jumped with both legs at the same time, which scared me to death.”

"After I called you over, she covered her head and said she felt dizzy."

“But you insist that the sun is strong. I misunderstood. You all believe what she said.”

Wen Changle decisively stood beside Xie Zhizhi and said, "You didn't believe me back then, but today I choose to believe my niece."

"Xu Shanshan might have done it on purpose."

He Yuzhi still refused to believe it, "It's her own flesh and blood, she can't believe it..."

After hearing what Wen Changle said, Xie Zhizhi became even more certain of her guess, so she asked, "Does Mom not like Dad?"

He Yuzhi laughed and said, "What's this about liking or disliking? People didn't care about that in those days."

Wen Changle told Xie Zhizhi, "Auntie thinks she just doesn't like it." Wen Changle said, and then lowered her voice to tell Xie Zhizhi, "Auntie didn't mean to say bad things about her, but let me tell you, she was really bad to your dad when she was young."

Wen Changle said with a look of disgust, "If you ask me, she was lucky to be able to marry my eldest brother. What was her background back then? It was only because my eldest brother was so fond of her looks that he married her regardless of everything."

"If it were someone else, I would never want her."

Xie Zhizhi became curious. The original book did not mention the original owner being found by the Wen family, so naturally it did not describe the Wen family's affairs in detail. After she returned to the Wen family, only two days had passed before Xu Shanshan had already cut her wrists, so no one had time to tell her the specific situation of the Wen family.

Xie Zhizhi was especially unaware of Xu Shanshan's situation.

Someone might say something, and Xie Zhizhi immediately asked, "Auntie, my mom is..."

Wen Changle told her, "She's a capitalist's daughter!"

Xie Zhizhi: Oh ho, it's still the story of a capitalist's daughter marrying a military officer...

Xie Zhizhi: "So how did my mom and dad meet?"

“Your dad went to visit a friend and met your mom. They got to know each other through the friend's introduction, spent some time together, and then your mom agreed to be with your dad,” He Yuzhi said.

Xie Zhizhi: This doesn't seem like coercion, does it?

"Mom didn't have any friends before, right?" Xie Zhizhi asked again.

This left He Yuzhi and the others speechless. He Yuzhi and Wen Changxin both shook their heads. Wen Changxin said, "I don't think so. You don't know your dad. He's a very particular person."

He Yuzhi nodded, "If your mother had a boyfriend back then, your father definitely wouldn't have bothered her. He had already asked around with his friends and found out that your mother lived with your sister and that her family had suffered some misfortune, which is why your father pursued her."

But Wen Changle frowned, thinking back to something, "Actually..."

All eyes turned to her, and Wen Changle thought for a moment before saying, "Not long after Zhouzhou was born, I saw a man come to see my sister-in-law. She gave him a lot of tickets and money, but I've never seen that man among my sister-in-law's relatives."

He Yuzhi frowned after hearing this, "Could you have misread it?"

Wen Changle “…”

“I knew you would say that, and no one would believe me. If Xu Shanshan started crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, my brother would tear me apart. That’s why I never mentioned it. But I swear, I saw it clearly and I’m not wrong.”

"I still have some recollection of what that man looked like."

"He wasn't very tall, not as tall as my older brother, but he wasn't short either. He was quite fair-skinned and had a handsome appearance, like a schoolteacher. After my sister-in-law gave him the money and tickets, he left. That was the only time I ever saw him."

"Could he be the 'white moonlight'?" Xie Zhizhi blurted out. (As a seasoned novel reader, Xie Zhizhi felt that, apart from his height, the description of this person by the Wen family aunt really resembled the so-called 'white moonlight'.)

"What light?" He Yuzhi and Wen Changxin were confused again.

Today, the mother and daughter were completely dumbfounded, like bewildered fruit under a bewildered tree.

Of course, Wen Changle had never heard of any "white moonlight," but she was the kind of person who spread confusion, so she wasn't that confused yet.

Xie Zhizhi "refers to an untouchable existence in a person's heart, a bright moon hanging high in that person's heart, noble and pure."

After saying this, Xie Zhizhi felt that she had some understanding. If Xu Shanshan really had a so-called "white moonlight" in her heart, then it made sense that Xu Shanshan didn't like her.

Based on her experience reading novels, Xu Shanshan had her own ideal man, but due to the times, she was forced to marry Wen Changyu, who was safe and stable for her at the time.

Wen Changyu was a second-best option for her.

It could also be her shame.

If we follow the typical rebirth novel plot, the so-called wealthy heiress is forced to marry a poor, uneducated man. After marriage, she harbors a secret crush, making her extremely resentful. She dislikes both her husband and her child, ultimately ending up isolated and abandoned by everyone. At the moment of her death, she finally realizes who truly cared for her, and so, filled with resentment, she is reborn…

Although this seems a bit crazy, this is the world of fiction, and Xie Zhizhi can accept it no matter how crazy it is.

If this trend continues...

Wen Qianqian, there's definitely something fishy about Wen Qianqian's background.

Xie Zhizhi quickly asked, "Grandma, Aunt, do you know where Mom adopted Wen Qianqian?"

Speaking of this, He Yuzhi knew, "Your aunt brought it from the countryside."

Xie Zhizhi remembered this; He Yuzhi and the others had said, "Have you personally visited this family?"

He Yuzhi shook her head. "No, not that one."

Wen Changle asked Xie Zhizhi, "Jinci, do you suspect..."

“I have doubts about Wen Qianqian’s background,” Xie Zhizhi also confessed honestly.

Now that things have come to this point, Xie Zhizhi didn't mince words anymore, "After Mom and Dad got married, were there any long periods of time when Mom and Dad were separated from each other and you weren't around?"

Wen Changle shook his head. "Your dad has been away from home for long periods of time due to war or something, but it has never been more than half a year."

“Your mother has never left home. That’s how it was when your aunt and I were still in Beijing.”

He Yuzhi said, "She likes to go out for a walk occasionally, but she has never traveled far, and it is inconvenient for her to travel far."

Wen Changle roughly guessed what Xie Zhizhi was suspicious of, and said, "Your mother is a very proud person."
