After Li Xiu'e gave birth, her mental resilience plummeted. A few words from Shen Fenghua were enough to devastate her, and the office was quiet for several days.
Everyone looked at Shen Fenghua with expressions of terror in their eyes.
How to put it? It's like a little white rabbit. It looks soft and cute, and it's usually gentle. But one day, it suddenly explodes, and then everyone realizes that this rabbit is a carnivore.
Shen Fenghua didn't know what others were thinking, but she had been living a very comfortable life these past two days.
Li Xiu'e now avoids Shen Fenghua like the plague, always taking a detour. If they happen to meet, Li Xiu'e won't even look up, preferring to stay close to the wall, afraid that Shen Fenghua will see her and cause her trouble again.
Shen Fenghua: "..."
It's really speechless. Does this person have some kind of problem?
If she weren't always jumping around and causing trouble, who would want to talk to her?
Because of Wang Xingda's matter, Shen Fenghua's life has been very regular lately. In the past, when she had nothing to do, she would ride her bicycle around to the black market after get off work to see if she could get some good food.
Now I wouldn't dare do that. I leave the steel mill here and go straight home there, living a very simple life, obediently going back and forth between the two points.
Shen Fenghua isn't stupid; she can't just be idle and have nothing better to do than create things for herself.
The existence of the black market is illegal. The authorities turn a blind eye to it, and both sides pretend to be nonchalant. But if you openly try to get involved, you're just asking for trouble.
To this, Shen Fenghua could only say that she had had enough of the good life.
Half a month passed like this. Qi Ye had said he would be back in a few days after the mission, but half a month passed without any news. If he hadn't gone to the steel factory to call and let them know he was safe, Shen Fenghua would have gone crazy.
That day, Shen Fenghua received Qi Ye's second call, which made her feel much more at ease. She said into the phone, "Take care of yourself. The child, your mother, and I are waiting for you at home."
Qi Ye's expression softened slightly as he said softly, "Yes, soon. I'll be back soon."
After giving a few words of advice, Shen Fenghua reluctantly hung up the phone.
Everyone looked at Shen Fenghua's face with smiles on their faces and couldn't help but tease, "Little Shen is different from before. Now that you've started a family, you've become much more mature."
"Who can argue with that? She used to be such a young girl, but look at her now. She knows exactly how to conduct herself and act with such discretion." After praising her, she couldn't help but tease her, "They've only been married a few days and they're already so lovey-dovey and clingy."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fenghua blushed slightly. "Speak properly outside, and don't tease me. If your sister-in-law and brother-in-law call the office later, don't blame me for not being able to control my mouth."
She wasn't angry; she just jokingly replied. For some reason, Li Xiu'e had suddenly become more assertive these past two days, and looking at Shen Fenghua's smile, she felt extremely annoyed.
Although she didn't dare to confront Shen Fenghua directly, she didn't stay idle either, muttering to herself, "Tch~ still calling me a child, calling me so affectionately, it's not like I gave birth to you, what are you pretending for."
The voice wasn't loud, but the office was quiet enough that every word Li Xiu'e said reached Shen Fenghua's ears.
To be honest, Shen Fenghua still felt bad.
She wanted to cry, but she managed to hold it in.
Go home and find a secluded place to cry your heart out, but don't cry in front of this old jerk, it'll be beneath you!
Since she has such a foul mouth, let's give her a good talking to. She's practically begging for a beating, so I'll just satisfy her.
Tsk tsk tsk, she's so beautiful and kind-hearted. Look, I'll make your dream come true.
She stood up, smiling, "Director Li, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you please repeat it?"
Li Xiu'e: "!!!"
Good heavens, she can hear this, she has to admit she's impressed.
But even if you hear it, so what?
She can't possibly argue with herself.
Li Xiu'e glanced at Shen Fenghua and snorted coldly, "I didn't say anything. If you can't hear well, don't try to pin it on me."
"What?" Shen Fenghua stood up abruptly, glaring at him coldly. "You're saying I deserve to never have children in this life?"
Li Xiu'e: "?"
She was stunned for a moment. "You're talking nonsense. I didn't say that."
"Just tell me."
Li Xiu'e got angry, "Isn't this pure slander? I just said that you can't hear well, you must have misheard."
Shen Fenghua became even more agitated. "Li Xiu'e, don't go too far. My children are all doing well. If you call them ungrateful again, I'll beat you to death."
Li Xiu'e: "???"
etc?
Looking at Shen Fenghua's confident and indignant expression, she was completely dismayed. At this moment, she couldn't help but start to doubt herself. Had she really said something to cause trouble?
No way, even if she's brainless, she wouldn't do something so foolish.
"I...I didn't!" she stammered, unable to speak coherently.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Fenghua's expression became even more agitated, "You still dare to talk!"
With that, Shen Fenghua rushed over with lightning speed, grabbed Li Xiu'e by the collar, and slapped him twice across the face. "Slap! Slap!"
The slap landed on Li Xiu'e's face, and everyone in the office was stunned. They never expected that Shen Fenghua, who always used words but never fists, could be so desperate. It seemed that they had really hit Shen Fenghua's weak spot.
That slap was definitely well worth it.
"Are you still going to say that?" Shen Fenghua gritted her teeth, her eyes red.
Perhaps this is just human nature's weakness: what we can't have, we think is good.
If Shen Fenghua really liked children, that wouldn't be the case, but the fact that she couldn't have children was a thorn in her side. Every time she was about to have her babies grow back, there would always be those nosy people who would push her aside.
Thinking of this, Shen Fenghua gritted her teeth and slapped herself twice more.
She's always been straightforward. Besides, she was just someone who got angry because her painful memories were brought up. In a moment of impulse, she slapped the other person a few times. What could she have done wrong?
After four slaps, Li Xiu'e felt his head buzzing like a ripe watermelon.
My face was burning with pain. At first, I felt like I was about to lose all feeling.
Shen Fenghua knew when to stop. After hitting the person, she let go, took a few steps back, sniffed, and said aggrievedly, "Li Xiu'e, I can't have children, but I haven't bothered you. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine."
After saying that, Shen Fenghua covered her face and ran out crying.
