With lots of bags and packages, Qi Ye thought that although the journey wasn't very long, Shen Fenghua's health wasn't good. If she carried a lot of things, he could take care of the luggage, but it would be difficult for him to take care of the other items attentively.
In the end, the young couple didn't mind wasting money. Except for some personal items, they had everything else sent by the post office. Because there were so many items, the postage alone cost them more than a dollar.
On the way back, since all the problems had been resolved, the two were in good spirits and even started discussing in hushed tones whether they should use their vacation days early.
Shen Fenghua got more and more carried away as she talked, but Qi Ye had to interrupt her helplessly, "Alright, it's still early. Even if you're in a hurry, you have to wait until after the New Year and come back in the spring to decide when to come to the hospital."
Right, we have to celebrate the Chinese New Year first.
Let's talk about it after the New Year.
When Shen Fenghua thinks about the Chinese New Year, her deepest impression is still from her childhood. Although life was a bit hard when she lived with her maternal grandmother, the happiness was genuine.
When they arrived in the city and were with the Shen family, well, let me tell you, life suddenly became unpleasant.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, the brother and sister had everything they wanted, while he had nothing.
Even if she wanted to eat something a little better for the New Year's Eve dinner, she would be scolded by her mother, who would say things like, "How can a young lady like you be so greedy? It's not a good thing if word gets out."
I was young then, and when this happened, I really felt like the sky was falling. Looking back now, I realize I was quite cowardly back then.
If they were any more assertive, and wouldn't let me eat, they would have just flipped the table. Why all this fuss?
However, that's all in the past now. My life is countless times better than the Shen family's.
Thinking of the Shen family, Shen Fenghua gritted her teeth, and the same was true for the Shen family.
A while ago, Shen Fenghua came over with three burly men and went on a rampage. The house, which already had very little left, became even sparser. During this time, they were busy gathering things, and the family's expenses became increasingly tight.
As a result, Shen's father became increasingly dissatisfied with Shen's mother. During this time, Shen's mother, knowing that she had done something wrong, became more and more submissive at home.
Life was tough, and Mr. Shen was in a bad mood. Even when he went out, he was still gossiped about. After all, everyone knew that his daughter, Shen Fenghua, had changed jobs again and was even more successful this time. She had joined the purchasing department, although she wasn't a junior manager.
But the real benefits inside are something that many people are envious of.
only……
Even if there are many benefits inside, they have nothing to do with me.
Just thinking about it made Shen's father feel indignant. People say that marrying a virtuous wife brings blessings to three generations, but what a mess he's gotten himself. Instead of helping him, she's a hindrance at every turn.
"The New Year is just around the corner, and this is all you've prepared?"
Mother Shen was bitter. She wanted to bring back more good things, but she didn't have the means. She had no money or ration coupons, so she was controlled by others in everything she did.
She hesitated for a long time, then said, "Our family has no money or ration coupons. Even after we bought everything we need for this house, we still have a huge debt."
As soon as she said this, Mother Shen felt a sense of unease. She shouldn't have brought it up, but it was too late to regret it now.
"How dare you say that?" Father Shen was furious. In the past, he would have slapped him long ago in this situation.
But not now. Kicking out the most promising child in the family and severing ties would only make him a laughingstock in this area. What if he then saw his own family living like this?
That's really not worth mentioning.
The spittle of their mockery could drown them.
Mother Shen flinched, while Father Shen was furious. "I find it so annoying to even look at you."
Seeing that her husband had no intention of causing trouble, Shen's mother hurriedly slunk away.
Wan Shuhua had already taken the child and slipped away. Although she was quite happy to see her mother-in-law suffer, no matter how badly Shen's mother was treated, she was still the child's elder, the grandmother.
It's also not acceptable to have no authority whatsoever in front of children.
Most importantly, children these days learn things very quickly. If they see how domineering Shen's father treats Shen's mother and try to imitate him, they'll be in big trouble.
You know, when you get old, you'll still be counting on your children to be filial. What if you raise two good-for-nothings? In the end, won't they just ruin your life?
Wan Shuhua's inner thoughts were very complex. She observed everything with a cold eye, knowing full well that this whole family, including herself, was full of good people.
only……
We're all rats in the same nest, so why would anyone care about the shade of black of the other?
That's enough.
After everyone else had left, Shen Jianguo glanced at his father and poured him a cup of tea. "Dad, calm down."
"How can I calm down? I'm so angry I could die. You have no idea what people outside are saying about us. I've never heard such nasty things in my life."
Shen Jianguo remained calm, "Haven't we seen it now?"
Seeing his father speechless, Shen Jianguo sighed deeply, his voice slightly weary, "Dad, can we stop making a fuss? Life is already hard enough, and so many people outside are waiting to see our family make a fool of themselves. If we really don't live up to expectations and keep fighting and throwing things around, people will find it amusing."
With so few entertainment options these days, and movies only happening once in a lifetime, this all-out brawl performed by a family unit is particularly eye-catching.
"Let's live our lives properly. Shen Fenghua is no longer the little girl we used to be who could be manipulated at will."
After inquiring about Qi Ye's background, Shen Jianguo had a general idea of what happened to him.
Shen Fenghua is now not only supported by the steel factory, but also by Qi Ye, who represents the strength of the military region. Even if Qi Ye is gone, there is still Grandma.
Those are elders, naturally of a higher rank. If they were to speak, they could crush the Shen family.
When he was already making trouble with Shen Fenghua, his reputation was already terrible, it was simply unbearable to hear. And now he's making trouble with the old lady too?
Fine, then we might as well give up on living like this.
He simply untied his belt, tied it to the beam, stretched out his neck, kicked his legs, and hanged himself.
Death is the end of everything.
Mr. Shen was somewhat unwilling and sighed, "Who knew that out of the three children in the family, it was the one I loved the least who became successful?"
After saying that, he didn't forget to put Shen Jianguo down, "Tell me about you, a grown man, you can't even compare to a little girl, aren't you ashamed?"
Most people would have been unable to stand being pointed at and spoken to so sarcastically by their own father, but the key point is that Shen Jianguo is not an ordinary person.
He looked up at Shen's father, and that one glance made Shen's father lose confidence. He touched his nose and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Shen Jianguo succinctly replied: "Look at how big your face is."
