Wen Qiao listened attentively to Shen Jichuan's words, but she knew exactly what he meant.
She deliberately seduced Shen Jichuan back then; what consequences could she possibly have imagined?
My family of origin has a lot of unpleasant things going on.
Her mother was weak, her stepfather was vicious, and she had two stepbrothers who were eyeing her menacingly.
She couldn't quite remember when she was fifteen or sixteen, or even earlier.
All she remembered was getting some water from the kitchen to wash herself.
She had closed all the doors and windows, but she still heard footsteps outside the door, and a pair of eyes met through the crack in the door.
She was terrified and later kept having nightmares.
Wen Qiao knew that those eyes must belong to someone in her stepfather's family, but she didn't know who it was.
She wanted to tell her mother, but after her mother married her stepfather, she worked tirelessly every day, becoming exhausted and haggard, so tired that she couldn't even stand up straight.
She also gets beaten by her stepfather.
Seeing her mother like that, she didn't dare say anything more, afraid that her mother would worry and get even more tired.
She wanted to ask her mother to take her away from her stepfather's house every time.
But the mother said that without a letter of introduction from the village committee, she and her daughter could not go anywhere.
She ran away from the countryside; she couldn't even ride a train.
Her family background wasn't as good as Shen Jichuan imagined.
Or perhaps, Shen Jichuan never even considered these questions.
She seduced Shen Jichuan, and that was her doing. Regardless of the outcome, Shen Jichuan has no responsibility for her actions.
But if Shen Jichuan takes the initiative, his feelings for her will definitely be mostly based on wishful thinking.
Once he truly understands her family, will he still be willing?
After Shen Jichuan finished speaking, Wen Qiao hesitated for a moment and then looked up at Shen Jichuan.
"Sir, you may only have romantic feelings for me, but if we get married, it's not just a matter between the two of us."
Shen Jichuan thought she was referring to her adopted son, Shen Haiyang, and the obstacles at the old house.
He then said, "Wen Qiao, it's my business to marry you, and my family won't be an obstacle between us."
Wen Qiao said earnestly, "It's my family. Have you heard of them?"
Shen Jichuan's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
How much will Wen Qiao's marriage to him affect her family?
All he knew was that Wen Qiao's mother remarried after her father's death.
The man she could remarry was no good.
He fantasized about marrying Wen Qiao to his son, hoping to save on the cost of getting a wife.
Wen Qiao said softly, "What might be a big problem for me is nothing to you. But I still think I should try again after I've dealt with those things."
Shen Jichuan asked, "Will it take a long time?"
"I don't know," Wen Qiao said truthfully.
Wen Qiao did not want Shen Jichuan to help her solve these problems.
She simply voiced her problem.
Or perhaps Shen Jichuan would find it troublesome and stop mentioning trying it out with her.
Shen Jichuan then asked, "Do you need my help?"
Wen Qiao shook her head.
Outsiders can't help much.
She wanted to get her mother to want to leave on her own initiative.
If her mother doesn't want to leave, it will be a waste of her effort to take Shen Jichuan back.
Wen Qiao said she was tired and wanted to rest.
Shen Jichuan got up to leave.
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
He looked at Wen Qiao and asked, "Do you still need to wash up? I'll escort you there."
"I can do it myself."
It's just a backache, it doesn't affect my ability to walk. A quick wash should be fine.
Shen Jichuan nodded and then went back into the house.
