Chapter 450 Peaceful and Tranquil Life
Su Nuannuan didn't talk about how she did on the exam; she just showed off the doll in her arms to Xiao Tiantian.
“My parents bought these for me. I have so many dolls. I even sleep with them.”
But my mom said that when I turn ten, I can't sleep with my doll anymore.
"Brother Tiantian, I'll give you all my dolls then!"
Looking at the doll in Su Nuannuan's arms, Xiao Tiantian suddenly thought of the little bear she used to hug and sleep with when she was a child...
I think I slept with that teddy bear until I was twelve!
The later teddy bears were all badly damaged, and Grandma had to sew them back together.
"Have fun! The most important thing is to see who treats you well, and you have to be good to others too, otherwise you'll be an ingrate." Xiao Tiantian said these words to Su Nuannuan with a smile.
Su Nuannuan nodded; she would definitely treat her parents well.
...
"That's how it is. After today's commotion, I reckon Su Nuannuan knows what really happened back then. Actually, that little girl is quite pitiful."
She was sold to a remote mountain village by her mother and grandmother right after she was born, and later abandoned by her mother. She's had a really tough life," Xiao Tiantian sighed.
Yao Shula glanced at Xiao Tiantian, who had a calm expression.
Su Nuannuan's performance... was quite unexpected.
She surprisingly accepted so calmly that she wasn't her cousin's biological child.
"I remember you used to dislike Su Nuannuan, but it seems... you don't dislike her anymore," Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Xiao Tiantian nodded.
“I used to dislike her quite a bit. Although people always said that she and I had the same father and that she was like my sister, I never treated her as a sister.”
But now that I think about it, she wasn't actually that bad.
She probably wouldn't want to have biological parents like that when she grows up!
Sister, actually I used to be a bit stubborn.
Even without Tian Lei and Su Nuannuan, my dad definitely wouldn't be idle. He's never short of women; he'd definitely find other women.
If we're talking about who's to blame, it really isn't Su Nuannuan's fault.
Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. My dad's rotten egg attracted a lot of flies. The key problem lies with my dad, not Su Nuannuan. She doesn't have the ability to choose what kind of people her biological parents are.
Even if we have to blame someone... it's my dad's fault for not being honest!
Forget about it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I didn't have a good father.
Big sister, I remember when I was little I often told Shuli that you should just pretend your dad is dead, that he's just hanging on the wall. Now that I think about it...
I guess I'll be like a dad hanging on the wall now!
"I have you all and Grandpa, that's enough. No one else matters!" Little Tiantian said with a smile.
Yao Shula nodded. Little Tiantian no longer takes that dad seriously.
Everyone seems to have grown up.
...
After Tian Lei left Shanghai, Yao Shula's life returned to normal, and she focused all her attention on her clothing store.
Lei Jingwu went on a business trip, and this time he was heading north again. In the past, other people would lead the convoy that way, but for some reason, Lei Jingwu wanted to lead the convoy that way himself this time.
It's said that this trip will last at least a month.
During this month, Yao Shula was busy with the clothing store business; she and Gu Xiaoman opened another store.
Just like before, I first bought the storefront, and then decorated and opened the shop according to my own ideas.
With Lei Jingwu away, Yao Shula temporarily moved to the house next to the clothing store, and Xiao Tiantian came over every day to have meals with her.
Yao Shula didn't find her days boring at all.
Time flies by when you're busy every day.
Yao Shuxin would call back every week without fail at that time, and she would tell Yao Shula about what had happened that week.
It wasn't Yao Shula who demanded that she get the injection every week; it was Yao Shuxin who insisted on getting it herself.
Yao Shuxin said that whenever she was tired, and when she started losing clumps of hair from doing experiments, she felt less tired as soon as she heard Yao Shula's voice.
What's this little bit of hardship! My sister raised her and Shuli through so much hardship, and she never complained.
"Sister, I feel especially motivated every time I hear your voice."
Now I just want to finish my studies here as soon as possible so I can go back home.
"Sister, the professor praised me again today. She said I'm the most insightful student she's ever taught. I gave her the Suzhou embroidery you asked me to bring, and she was so happy. She said it's a gift from the mysterious ancient East, and she's very lucky."
Yao Shula always felt at ease whenever she heard Yao Shuxin's voice.
It felt like Yao Shuxin was still by my side, still that little girl who would cling to my arm and act coquettishly.
Yao Shuli would call Yao Shula every two days.
Anyway, Yao Shuli has money, so he will call Yao Shula whenever he has time.
He would talk about everything, from family matters to everyday life, greeting everyone in the family and asking Yao Shula what she had eaten these past few days and whether she had thought of him while eating.
Has Xiao Tiantian been naughty? Has he made his older sister angry? If he has, tell Yao Shula not to hold it against him. She'll deal with Xiao Tiantian when he gets back.
Yao Shuli also urged Yao Shula to buy a mobile phone as soon as possible.
"Sister, it's so convenient to have a mobile phone, so I can find you no matter where you go."
Yao Shula insisted on not accepting it.
"It's too big, like a brick, no way!"
I'll consider it again when mobile phones are smaller and less bulky to hold; I'm afraid I'll tire my hands out!
Yao Shuli...
Okay! My older sister is always like this, so frugal. She came up with this excuse to avoid spending money.
but……
The older sister is right. Modern mobile phones are too big; they look like bricks when you take them out, and they really don't look good.
However, several companies are now also in the mobile phone business, and the prospects in this area seem promising...
I should study it carefully myself.
"Big sister, if you don't want to change it, then don't! I'll see if there are any smaller mobile phones out there, and if so, I'll bring one back for you."
"Oh, bring two, and one for Sister Xiaoman too," Yao Shuli said immediately.
Yao Shula agreed.
...
Days passed by, and Yao Shula was already counting down the days until Lei Jingwu would return, and what she would cook for him that he liked to eat.
Although Lei Jingwu would call her every day, Yao Shula still missed him a little because she could only hear his voice but couldn't see him.
That evening, Yao Shula had just finished a phone call with Lei Jingwu when the phone rang again at home.
When Yao Shula answered the phone, she was surprised to hear that it was her cousin calling.
“Shura, Third Uncle… is gone!” Miao Yamin said softly.
Yao Shula...
