Chapter 442 He was kicked out
Shen Jinxiu's life after marrying Chen Gang was actually not bad, but Chen Gang didn't give her much money, at most just enough to make ends meet. She wanted a better life, so when she had the chance to hook up with someone else, she naturally did so.
Moreover, Shen Jinxiu did gain something; at least that person did give her that much money.
However, she noticed that although Shen Jinxiu appeared glamorous on the outside, she also looked somewhat distressed, indicating that the old man was not easy to please.
Shen Zhixia said, "That's true. Everyone has their own life to live. Her choice must mean she's more materialistic. I ran into her when I was looking at houses before, and I was wondering where she got the money."
Huo Chunyan asked in surprise, "Since you ran into her, aren't you two on bad terms? Did she give you any trouble?"
Shen Zhixia shook her head: "Our grudges are from a long time ago, and they shouldn't be making things difficult for me now."
Did she say anything to you?
Shen Zhixia shrugged and said nonchalantly, "She was just showing off that she was rich and wanted to invite me to dinner. I declined and we haven't had any contact since."
After all, they had no connection to begin with, so how could they have such an intersection?
"Tsk tsk tsk, she still has the nerve to flaunt her wealth? Doesn't she know where her money comes from? I thought she would try to hide it, but it turns out she wants everyone to know what she's doing. I don't think she's a smart person at all," Huo Chunyan couldn't help but say.
She asked curiously, "I'd like to see what happens to her in the future. Even if that old man takes care of her after her divorce, I don't think she'll have any reputation left."
Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "That's the life she chose herself, why should we care?"
Huo Chunyan said, "No, I must take a close look. She might harm you in the future. We can't let this kind of bad person get away with it. I want to see her fate for myself."
Shen Zhixia simply shook her head at this.
She paid no attention to Shen Jinxiu.
She is a person who practices what she preaches. She says she doesn't care, and she really doesn't care. Whether Shen Jinxiu lives a good or bad life in the future, it won't cause her the slightest ripple.
However, some people think differently. Ever since Huo Chunyan learned about the feud between Shen Zhixia and Shen Jinxiu, she has been thinking about seeing what Shen Jinxiu's fate will be.
So she even used her connections to inquire about it.
After a few days, she actually found out.
She happily came to find Shen Zhixia: "After Shen Jinxiu got divorced, she returned to Shanghai."
“Yes, it’s normal for her to leave since she can’t stay here any longer,” Shen Zhixia said.
Huo Chunyan said, "She left with her child. Her son was only six years old and hadn't even started school yet. The old man felt sorry for her and her son, so he bought them a house in Shanghai and let them live there. But then the old man's eldest son came to their door and beat them up."
"The old man's eldest son is already thirty years old, strong and healthy. The old man is afraid of him. After all, one is his eldest son and the other is his illegitimate son. He knows how to choose."
Shen Zhixia said, "Doing this kind of thing is very risky; you're likely to get beaten up."
That old man is rich and old, so his family's wealth is definitely being eyed. Shen Jinxiu is pregnant and has given birth to a child, who can inherit the old man's property. Of course, the old man's family can't sit still.
They must all be afraid that someone will come and take a share of the property, after all, everything else can be fake, but money is real.
Huo Chunyan said, "She was in a terrible state when she was kicked out. Anyway, she couldn't get the money she wanted. Now she's so old, and that old man doesn't want her anymore. It'll probably be difficult for her in the future. This is all her retribution."
"Everything comes with a hidden price tag."
Shen Zhixia said, "Anyway, when it comes to family, that old man will definitely choose his own family. He's getting old and will need his son to support him in his old age. He definitely won't give up his first wife and son for Shen Jinxiu. But the old man will probably give her some compensation. If she doesn't spend it recklessly, she should be able to get by."
Huo Chunyan shook her head: "If she were the kind of person who would be content with her lot and live a good life, she wouldn't have gone to an old man to ask for money."
That's certainly true.
If Shen Jinxiu were a peaceful and down-to-earth person, she would have lived a good life with Chen Gang. Even if Chen Gang wasn't that good to her, she wouldn't have gone to find a rich old man to support her when she had enough to eat and wear. In short, she has some personality problems.
The life she's going to lead from now on probably won't be peaceful.
These were all her choices.
Everyone's choices are different.
Huo Chunyan was initially somewhat gloating, but in the end she said, "Actually, I think she's quite amazing. I heard that she was sent to the countryside, but she still managed to find a man to marry and leave the countryside. Later, she even found an old man to spend money on her. If I were down on my luck, even if you killed me, I wouldn't be able to coax an old man."
She thought about it for a moment, and the thought of having to serve an old man made her feel disgusted. She simply couldn't do such a thing. He was so much older than her and had that old-age smell about him. She didn't know how Shen Jinxiu could stand it.
Huo Chunyan asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what if one day my brother and you fall on hard times, and you divorce him..."
She originally just wanted to ask Shen Zhixia if she could accept being with a rich old man, but halfway through the question, she felt that it was a bad question and somewhat insulting, so she shut up.
Even if she and Shen Zhixia were already very close, and Shen Zhixia wouldn't hold these things against her, she still shouldn't have acted so tactlessly.
Just then, Huo Chenzhou returned. After hearing Huo Chunyan's words, he said unhappily, "What did you say about divorce? Your sister-in-law and I will never get a divorce. I really didn't expect that you come to see your sister-in-law every day, but you don't have anything useful to do. All you do is persuade her to get a divorce?"
Shen Zhixia said speechlessly, "She didn't advise on divorce, you misunderstood."
Huo Chunyan explained, "Yes, it's just a misunderstanding. I was just giving an example. I meant if you got divorced."
She hoped that Huo Chenzhou and Shen Zhixia could live happily together, and she certainly didn't want them to get divorced.
Huo Chenzhou said with a serious expression, "Even if it's just a hypothetical, you absolutely cannot say anything carelessly. My relationship with your sister-in-law is very good. If you talk to her about divorce in the future, then don't come looking for her again."
Huo Chunyan said helplessly, "It's not that serious. We didn't talk about divorce at all. We were just talking about Shen Jinxiu. By the way, brother, do you remember Shen Jinxiu?"
Huo Chenzhou remained expressionless.
Just by looking at his expression, Huo Chunyan knew that he didn't remember the person or his name.
In fact, Huo Chenzhou was more familiar with Shen Jinxiu. When he went to Shanghai to meet Shen Zhixia for a blind date, Shen Jinxiu also went to see him. However, at that time, Shen Jinxiu didn't think much of Huo Chenzhou and only thought of him as a peasant soldier. Huo Chenzhou didn't have much contact with her.
Shen Zhixia then said, "She is my stepsister. You've met her before and even spoken to her."
Huo Chenzhou said, "So it was her."
Although he remembered, his eyes were blank, and it was clear that he didn't remember this person at all.
Shen Zhixia couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Did you remember her?"
"I remember now, she's your stepsister," Huo Chenzhou said honestly.
However, that was all he knew about her identity; he had absolutely no recollection of what Shen Jinxiu looked like.
When he went to see Shen Zhixia back then, his mind was completely occupied by Shen Zhixia; he didn't remember anyone else at all.
Besides, he wasn't particularly interested in other people.
Shen Zhixia smiled and didn't mention that person again.
But Huo Chenzhou suddenly brought it up that evening: "What happened to Shen Jinxiu? Isn't she with Wang Qiming?"
