Chapter 269
"Xiu Xiu, I know you have resentment towards your family, but after so many years, can't you let go of your grudge? You are you, Xiao Qiu is Xiao Qiu, she still has a long way to go in the future, and the Zhong family is willing to let her go out to make money, how can she have a good life? Letting her stay with me is the best choice!"
Shen Wufan's words were sharp, "As for Zimo, why don't you just say something soft and admit your mistakes? We are all family, and you finally came back once. There is no need to act like Zimo is your enemy. After all, he is your brother."
Shen Xiu clutched the quilt tightly, trying her best to suppress the grievance and anger in her heart. "Over the years, whenever I came back, he always mocked and humiliated me. Have I ever resisted once?"
"Yes! All of you want me to marry Lin Zhiyan, isn't it because you think the Lin family is a good match and it will be beneficial to my second brother's career? But I am a person! Not a tool!"
"If Shen Zimo was really capable, why would he use my sister's marriage as a stepping stone?"
As she said this, Shen Xiu couldn't help crying.
She had endured all the humiliation and compromise, but still couldn't get their understanding, and they even wanted her to apologize?
Why?
Is it wrong for her to pursue the life she wants and the person she wants to marry?
Shen Wufan's heart ached inevitably. Seeing her little sister crying, she was also somewhat touched. "I...I know you feel wronged. This is because you bet right. Your brother-in-law is a dark horse. Being able to sit in the current position does not mean that everyone has such luck."
"Marrying far away is the most insecure and dangerous thing for a woman. I am a lesson learned from the past... That's why we were so opposed to you marrying down in the first place. We didn't want to see you suffer."
Shen Wufan is the eldest daughter in the family.
When he was young, he fell in love with a poor student, and the two chose to elope regardless of everything. Later, he got into bad habits, always thinking about getting rich overnight, and then taking Shen Wufan back to the Shen family and slapping the Shen family in the face.
But he never thought that he was in debt. Only then did Shen Wufan truly see his true colors, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs! But he used Cheng'er to pay off his debts!
With nowhere else to go, Shen Wufan returned home and begged his mother to lend her money to redeem her daughter.
But it's all too late.
Thinking back to the past, Shen Wufan couldn't help but feel his eyes warm, and tears rolled down his cheeks into the pillowcase.
Beside her, Shen Xiu wiped away her tears and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Sister, please let Xiao Qiu go."
Shen Wufan didn’t agree to her, but changed the subject, “Xiu Xiu, tell me about Xiao Qiu.”
Shen Xiu slowly closed her eyes.
"What do you want to know?"
"Anything is fine. What does she like to eat? Or what kind of food does she like?" Shen Wufan sniffed, "I will definitely prepare a gift for her when the time comes."
Shen Xiu finally understood that she couldn't convince her elder sister at all. If it really didn't work, she would let Lao Meng take them away.
Old Meng will definitely come to my mother’s birthday party.
She was silent for a moment. "You can ask Qiaoqiao what she likes at her age."
Speaking of Song Qiao, Shen Wufan couldn't help but frowned, "She is usually busy with work and doesn't like to wear gold and silver. You are familiar with Xiaoqiu, so please ask her for me."
"If you keep Xiaoqiu here, aren't you afraid that Qiaoqiao will feel resentful?" Shen Xiu's worry is not unreasonable.
Although she had met Song Qiao no more than twice in total, she could feel that Qiaoqiao was a very sensitive girl.
The Song family adopted a daughter because the eldest sister missed her daughter so much. Song Qiao was well-behaved and filial, but an adopted daughter could never replace a biological daughter.
Shen Wufan always remembers his only daughter in his heart.
"If she can't tolerate Xiaoqiu, I will send Qiaoqiao away."
Shen Wufan sighed endlessly, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should worry about Lin Ziqiu or Song Qiao.
As the night deepened, Shen Wufan still did not feel sleepy at all.
She pulled her sister to tell her about Lin Ziqiu. Shen Xiu had no choice but to tell her everything they experienced when they were trapped in the Zhong family during the flood.
…
On the other side, Huang Bin slept in the same bed with Tian Xiaofeng for the first time.
He had difficulty walking, so after covering himself with the quilt, he basically didn't move. The boy next to him was very excited, "Brother Huang Bin, can you tell me about your time in the army?"
Huang Bin was stunned. "You want to join the army?"
Tian Xiaofeng scratched his forehead and said, "I definitely won't be selected. My eldest brother is in the logistics company of the army now, but he never mentioned anything about the army in the letters he sent home. So I really want to know what it's like in the army? Do they have to train every day?"
Huang Bin didn't know his eldest brother Tian Xiaobo, but he had heard Ruan Qing mention it. "Almost the same. If you are really curious, you can ask your brother-in-law to take you to experience it."
"Brother-in-law? Who?"
"Zhong Heyang."
Tian Xiaofeng choked and muttered reluctantly: "I didn't admit that he is my brother-in-law."
"He is your sister's husband, not your brother-in-law. Do you want to recognize someone else as your brother-in-law?"
"Anyway... I won't call him brother-in-law!" Tian Xiaofeng said stubbornly.
"Then you won't have the chance to see the troops."
Huang Bin still had a little understanding of Zhong Heyang, especially after he got married. If Tian Xiaofeng called him brother-in-law, he would definitely be very happy.
The Lin family is not kind to Lin Ziqiu, and Lin Ziqiu's half-brother does not share the same mindset as her, so Lin Ziqiu would rather treat Tian Xiaofeng as her real brother.
It seems that Zhong Heyang still needs to work harder, as even his brother-in-law still doesn't recognize him.
Tian Xiaofeng said, "Brother Huang Bin, can't you take me with you? I just want to go and take a look, nothing else."
Huang Bin's face darkened. Ever since he injured his leg, he felt like a useless person. How could he have the face to see his comrades?
"I don't want to go."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Tian Xiaofeng noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly changed the subject, "Brother Huang Bin, if you were with Sister Qing, and I called you brother-in-law, would you still have to give me a red envelope as compensation for changing your words?"
Huang Bin, who was originally a little upset, blushed immediately, "You...you shouldn't match people up randomly."
"Your sister Qing and I are just a doctor and a patient. It's not what you think."
Tian Xiaofeng didn't believe it at all, "But Sister Qing likes you!"
"You...what did you say?" Huang Bin opened his eyes wide in disbelief and almost jumped out of bed, "How is this possible...Don't fool me..."
"Why would I lie to you? Even my sister thinks Sister Qing likes you." Tian Xiaofeng blurted out, "You don't know, when we went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner that night, Sister Qing insisted on ordering a lot of dishes. She obviously couldn't finish them, but she just wanted to pack them up for you, for fear that you would be hungry."
"If this isn't love, then what is?"
