Seeing Shen Jichuan's decisive and prompt agreement, Zhao Lihua had some doubts, but she still believed him to some extent.
Shen Jichuan made an extra condition: if Zhao Lihua and her daughter came to find Wen Qiao again...
He would sever all ties with Zhao Lihua if it happened only once.
In fact, Shen Jichuan had long since severed ties with his aunt Zhao Lihua.
When he had never been loved, he thought that his aunt's little kindness towards him was love.
After meeting Wen Qiao, he experienced what true love is and truly liked her. Only then did he realize that love is so comfortable, so enjoyable, and so something to look forward to.
But his aunt's words only made him feel heavy-hearted.
When he was very young, his aunt taught him not love, but hate.
She hated the Shen family, and even more so, her father.
My aunt said that it was all because of his father that my mother died.
But Wenqiao told him:
Your mother was able to marry your father because she liked him, because she loved him. Later, when she learned that your father had a wife from an arranged marriage back in his hometown, her rationality and upbringing made her feel that your father's first wife was pitiful and needed to be taken care of, so she chose to leave.
Wen Qiao's mother married her father out of love.
His mother gave birth to him out of love.
However, no one expected that Zhang Yourong, who seemed to know nothing about the countryside, was actually full of scheming and cunning.
They forcibly drove Shen Jichuan's mother, Zhao Shuhua, away.
Shen Jichuan knew he would never forgive Zhang Yourong, but because of his aunt's words, he had never felt the warmth and love his aunt spoke of throughout his childhood.
This also led to his personality never being very good.
Cold and indifferent, always giving off a feeling of being unapproachable to family and friends.
If you have never received love, you naturally won't know how to love others.
It's like a parent who never tells their child "I love you," but when faced with a problem, they tell the child, "You have to be strong."
The child learned resilience, but also indifference.
When parents get old, they need their children to take care of them, but the grown-up children don't know how to love their parents.
Shen Jichuan is just like that.
Zhao Lihua taught him hatred, that you must rely on yourself, be independent, and be strong to avenge your mother.
This also led to Zhao Lihua always feeling that Shen Jichuan was not close to anyone.
She didn't receive the care and attention from Shen Jichuan.
Wen Qiao, who had only been married to Shen Jichuan for a short time, obtained it so easily.
How could Zhao Lihua accept this?
She felt that she treated Shen Jichuan as her son, but Shen Jichuan did not treat her as his mother.
If Shen Jichuan weren't Deputy Division Commander Shen, would Zhao Lihua still be so eager to find him?
Shen Jichuan wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well that as his position rose higher and higher, his so-called relatives were interacting with him more and more frequently.
Besides the old house, there's also Aunt Zhao Lihua.
Shen Jichuan lit a cigarette at the door and fell into deep thought.
Only then did he return home.
Shen Jichuan saw Shen Xiao sitting in the courtyard, frowned, and asked, "Why did you come to the Northwest?"
"Uncle."
Shen Xiao looked at Shen Jichuan walking towards him from a distance and called out, "Uncle."
Could it be that he's been spending a lot of time with Wen Qiao? He looks younger than before in the novel.
He thought that his uncle's mental state would be worse than when he was in Beicheng after coming to the Northwest. The last time he saw his uncle, his uncle looked tired and haggard.
Looking closely now, his uncle seems to be in good spirits.
"I came to the Northwest military camp to study as a key officer to be trained."
