In fact, what Yan Shuhua said was not wrong. After all, Yan Zhenhua and Liu Cuiman had already obtained the marriage certificate, and he was a leader now. How could he come back to find them? A big reason was that he and Liu Cuiman were tired of each other, so he wanted to come to find her. In this case, there was no need for her to be with him. Anyway, if he got tired of her, she would have to go back to find Liu Cuiman.
At first, Shen Hongmei was still dreaming that if Yan Zhenhua really reconciled with her, wouldn’t that be a good thing... But her daughter's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on her.
"Mom, I really don't think he's right for you. Even though he's my biological father, I don't have any feelings for him. But Uncle Tang is different. Even though I haven't had much contact with him, I think he's a person who's worthy of your lifelong trust. He will definitely treat you well."
Shen Hongmei thought of how Old Tang always came to chat with her when he had nothing to do in his pharmacy, and also brought her candies. These were rare things, and it was really good for her if he was willing to give them to her.
And what Yan Shuhua said was not wrong. Old Tang was indeed more worthy of entrusting one's life to than Yan Zhenhua, because he was not a slick person and was very honest. Although he did not make much money, he was very hardworking.
Shen Hongmei had already given up on Yan Zhenhua, but then Yan Zhenhua came to see her again and the situation changed. This feeling really made her feel overwhelmed.
Yan Zhenhua has a family, why didn’t he come before, but waited until Yan Shuhua had some ability before coming?
He also thought of the first time he met Yan Shuhua when he went to the capital. He still looked at him with contempt. But now Yan Shuhua has some ability and can earn some money, and she has also married a man of status like Xiao Jinchu, so naturally he has to curry favor with her.
So he didn't have any feelings for me at all, but he wanted to get close to her because he saw that the family's financial situation had improved.
Shen Hongmei thought of what he said to her last night, that he wanted to rekindle their old love. She suddenly felt ridiculous that she had expectations for a husband who had abandoned them for twenty years. It was really ridiculous.
When Yan Shuhua saw that the fire of expectation that had been rising in Shen Hongmei's eyes disappeared completely, he knew that what he said had worked.
"You've already been completely captivated by what he said to you today. I think I already know how he got you in the first place."
Yan Shuhua naturally heard about what happened between the couple. It was Yan Zhenhua who was pursuing her. Their family was not very rich at the time, after all, they had gone to the countryside to work. Later, he was also a young man, and Shen Hongmei was quite pretty, so it was understandable that he developed feelings for her.
To be honest, when Shen Hongmei heard him talk about his past, she felt a little touched.
The days she spent with him were like a movie, constantly appearing in her mind, and that old face gradually became clearer in her memory.
Her husband...is her favorite.
"In the beginning, I was attracted to your father because he was handsome and had the temperament of a college student. He was very gentle, but later I found that scholars have no conscience. He has been gone for 20 years. To be honest, I feel helpless during that period when I think about it."
It must be so painful to raise a child alone without any source of income. She didn't even take a confinement period, but went to the farm with her daughter on her back. It is because of this that Shen Hongmei now feels back pain all the time, which is caused by the confinement disease.
When others are sad or disappointed, their husbands will always be by their side, but Shen Hongmei is alone in everything. When she thinks of the past, she is unwilling to endure or mention it.
Shen Hongmei suddenly shook her head, her tone heavy: "I really don't know how many times I have cursed him in my heart. Now he comes to me to beg for mercy and says those sympathetic words to me, and I actually sympathize with him. Fortunately, you said these to me today, otherwise I would really reconcile with him."
It was only after listening to her daughter's words that Shen Hongmei slowly realized that she was almost soft-hearted. In fact, to be honest, apart from his good mouth, she really couldn't think of anything good about Yan Zhenhua. But Old Tang was different. Old Tang had the right intentions and was wholeheartedly trying to be good to her. For this reason alone, Shen Hongmei should have opened her eyes wide.
It started snowing outside again, and it was a little cold with the window open. She was shivering from the cold, and she didn't know if it was because of the cold weather or because Yan Shuhua's words had lowered her body temperature.
Shen Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief.
If she fell into Yan Zhenhua's gentle trap again, she might never have any chance to escape in her life.
"Mom, just treat him as a passerby." Yan Shuhua said it lightly, and it immediately cut off all of Shen Hongmei's thoughts. Shen Hongmei felt that what Yan Shuhua said was right, so she agreed.
Shen Hongmei was silent for a while, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and she suddenly became energetic: "By the way, Shuhua, do you like Uncle Tang?"
In fact, Shen Hongmei did not find a partner for all these years because she was afraid that a partner would bully Yan Shuhua. But now, Yan Shuhua has grown up and is capable, and is no longer afraid of being bullied. Even so, she hopes that the person she finds is someone Yan Shuhua likes.
Yan Shuhua thought for a while and said, "I have a good impression of him, Mom, what about you?"
Shen Hongmei also had a good impression of him. Although she didn't say it out loud, the expression on her face almost betrayed her feelings.
"Mom, although I don't have much contact with Uncle Tang, I really think Uncle Tang treats you very well." Yan Shuhua could see with his eyes that Uncle Tang was indeed quite muscular, but this kind of man would not let a woman bully him.
Shen Hongmei also felt that, especially when she thought of something, she blushed a little: "Last time, your Uncle Tang kept asking me to go to the movies, but I didn't go."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuhua immediately showed an expression of special admiration and longing: "So let me tell you, look how good he is to you."
"Although he is a butcher, he still cares about me in his heart. For example, he is willing to buy those candies for me." No matter how much money a man makes, it is not important, but a man must know how to give money to his wife.
Now that Old Tang is like this, Shen Hongmei has an expectation that he will continue to be like this in the future.
"Mom, I'm not saying anything bad about Dad, but your relationship has come to an end."
