Chapter 378 What's the matter with the injury on your hand?

Xiao Liu: "I want one too."

Yu Shu didn't agree, and two half-finished rabbits were piled in front of her.

Qiu Manman clasped her hands together and said, "Please."

"I told you, don't act cute to me, I can't stand it."

"Then you help me do it."

"No."

"But if you don't help me, I might continue to act like a spoiled brat."

"!!" Yu Shu admitted that this was his weak spot.

She had no choice but to sit beside and help a little.

Yu Shu did a great job and you can learn it right after reading the tutorial.

"Yu Shu, do you do a lot of handicrafts on a daily basis?"

"No, I'm just smart and I can do it at a glance." Yu Shu said lightly.

Qiu Manman slammed the table, "The difference between people is really huge."

"Wait—" Xiao Liu suddenly held her hand, "What's wrong with the injury on your hand?"

"What injury? You saw it wrong." Yu Shu wanted to cover it up.

The more you resist, the more people will realize that something is wrong.

When he rolled up his sleeves, he saw that his frail hands were covered with bruises.

These injuries looked like they were caused by being beaten with a stick.

Yu Shu broke the rabbit lamp, and a great resentment welled up in her heart. Her secret was discovered, and this feeling of shame made it difficult for her to calm down.

"Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

"I said it wasn't an injury."

"I'm going out for a walk."

Xiao Liu just felt confused for a moment.

Qiu Manman was silent for a while, then stood up and put on her clothes. "I'll go out and take a look."

Xiao Liu pulled her clothes and said, "I didn't mean it."

"It's okay. I'll help you get him back."

Yu Jiyue ignored her daughter who ran away and went into the kitchen to help.

It was freezing cold outside and snowing. Qiu Manman went out with an umbrella and looked for Yu Shu. She saw Yu Shu squatting under a tree on the roadside.

Yu Shu reached his hand out of his pocket and started making a snowman.

Qiu Manman stood behind and watched, and took a photo of her.

In less than five minutes, she had built a snowman.

"Why is Beijing so cold? Country C is better. I don't like it here at all."

"That woman is so disgusting. Who allowed her to look at my hands? How shameless."

Yu Shu built a snowman. As the snowman grew bigger, she began to collect the snow around her.

Looking back, I saw a pair of furry duck slippers, and looking up, I saw Qiu Manman holding an umbrella.

Yu Shu's nose turned red from the cold, and he sniffed, "What?"

"Come and find you back."

"I don't want to. Her name is Xiao Liu, right? I don't like her. Unless you kick her out, I won't go back."

Yu Shu continued to make a snowman, but his attention was not on the snowman in front of him.

She paid more attention to the person holding the umbrella behind her.

"I can't chase her away, she's so shameless." Qiu Manman tilted her umbrella to block the falling snow.

"I don't believe you, you can definitely get away."

"You meanie, you hate her just because she saw your injury. Are you a child?"

"Children don't have the same personality as you."

"You're just inexplicable."

"If you dislike everyone who sees your wounds, then I will make you dislike me too." Qiu Manman pulled open her clothes and saw the wounds on her back.

Yu Shu froze, tears welling up in his eyes.

"You! Qiu Manman, you are shameless!"

"Yes, Xiao Liu and I are the same. We were both hurt, and we are both people you hate." Qiu Manman teased her.

I can't help feeling a little distressed.

These injuries, accumulated over time, are difficult to heal.

Elmer abused her even more than he should have.

"Get lost."

Yu Shu's fragile defense collapsed.

Qiu Manman handed over a piece of paper, "Crying is useless."

"You made me cry. I'm so annoying. Why are you people in Jingshi so annoying?" Yu Shu said with a righteous tone and still took the paper to wipe his tears.

Qiu Manman shrugged, not caring at all. "Were you happy when Elmer died?"

"I was so happy that I didn't sleep for several nights. My legs were sore from dancing."

Yu Shu realized that he was being tricked.

"Don't be afraid, I know everything, but I'm on your side." Qiu Manman made a snowman's nose for her.

"Yu Shu, if you keep being so awkward I'm going to freeze to death, can you please be kind to me?"

"Who asked you to come out to find me?" Yu Shu stood under the umbrella, looking back every few steps.

There are many branches in the snowman's body. The snow is falling heavily. Gradually, the branches are covered with snow. The white snowman is looking towards Jiashui Bay.

Yu Shu turned around and saw this scene again.

Her injuries seemed to be no more than this.

It will heal.

If one month doesn’t work, then two months.

If two months doesn’t work, then three months.

Everything will be fine in one, two, three years.

Xiao Liu saw them coming back, but Yu Shu looked elsewhere, not at her.

Xiao Liu didn't care either.

"Is this girl okay? She has a very severe stress reaction. I found a few well-known psychiatrists while you were out. I sent you their contact information."

"I'm afraid she won't go to see it."

Yu Shu's hands, which had lost feeling while making a snowman outside, regained some feeling and he sat back at the coffee table to make a rabbit lamp.

"Sister Manman, there are some corresponding materials here. Can you make another rabbit? I want one myself."

"Sure." Qiu Manman replied before she felt something was wrong.

[The girl's voice has become gentle. ]

Xiao Liu also noticed it, his eyes sharpened, "Oh no, another one vying for favor."

"Why do you eat green onions?" Qiu Manman asked in an empty ear.

Xiao Liu: "Go play."

Qiu Manman: "...Not anymore?"

Xiao Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yu Jiyue and Si Zhuo were busy cooking in the kitchen.

Yu Jiyue noticed that his cooking skills were not very good and teased him, "Has there ever been someone who cooked in your family?"

"have."

"I'll do it. I don't know what kind of flavor you like. Do you want to try the dishes that your mother would like? I can cook and I often cook for Yu Shu."

Yu Jiyue grabbed the spatula.

Si Zhuo nodded.

Qiu Manman was peeking out from the kitchen door.

"Manman, come in."

Qiu Manman sighed, "I purposely created some time for you to be alone together so that you can cultivate your relationship."

"No, we'll have time later." Si Zhuo subconsciously took her hand, which was frighteningly cold. "What did you do outside?"

"To comfort a child."

Yu Shu suddenly appeared behind her holding a rabbit lantern, "Who do you say is the child?"

"Isn't the kid here?"

Yu Shu snorted, "Just finished, check it quickly."

"It's very beautiful. I like it very much. I will give a big red envelope to my child tomorrow."

Yu Shu can't stand it anymore!

In her life in Country C, few people would speak to her in this tone.

This is Qiu Manman’s first time.

Every time Yu Shu heard her speak in this slightly teasing tone, his heart itched.

What should I do if I really want to steal her away?

Unfortunately, there was only one Qiu Manman, and when she was stolen, Si Zhuo was gone.

What to do...

"I'm not interested in your red envelope."

Qiu Manman: "Or you can just give me a red envelope."

"Does the red envelope contain money? How much should it contain?"

"Check it online."

Yu Shu nodded and went out alone.

Yu Jiyue stepped away from the stove and said, "Yu Shu's personality is a little weird, please don't mind it."

"Aunt, can you tell me about her?"

Yu Jiyue locked the kitchen door.

Qiu Manman washed the vegetables while listening to Yu Jiyue talking about her daughter's experience.

Yu Jiyue pulled her lips together: "More than 30 years ago, I went to Country C, following my father's orders... I lived a very hard life."

"After two miscarriages, she finally managed to save her child, Yu Shu."

"Elmer's novelty towards me had worn off, and things were not going well for me at work. News of my bankruptcy spread to my family, and Elmer became even more impatient with me, beating and kicking me at every turn."

"Yu Shu has seen scenes like this since she was little. When she grew up and became sensible, she rebelled against Elmer for me."

"Elmer locked her in her room and beat her nearly to death several times..."

Yu Jiyue felt grief-stricken when she recalled those days, but her mind told her that life was good now and she shouldn't cry.

People are always emotional.

"Elmer and the young Yu Shuda reached a tacit agreement that he would not beat me too severely, but would beat Yu Shuda more severely."

"Yu Shu grew up in this kind of life."

"I don't have the ability to protect Yu Shu."

Qiu Manman understood Yu Shu's awkward personality.

Yu Jiyue: "Yu Shu has flaws in her heart, and I am slowly educating and correcting her. She will be fine, right?"

"Of course."

Autumn is full of faith.

Yu Jiyue smiled as if relieved from a heavy burden.

None of them mentioned the cause of Elmer's death.

How he died is not important.

Death is what matters.

The reunion dinner is at eight o'clock in the evening.

Yu Jiyue's cooking skills captured Qiu Manman's stomach.

Xiao Liu hadn't eaten anything good in Country A, but many of the things he ate in Beijing were very much to his taste.

She even took some food from the dish in her bowl, which was enough to show how much she liked it.

Yu Shu took a sip of the juice beside him and said, "Xiao Liu, can you be more elegant? You act like a savage who has been hungry for hundreds of years."

"Wuwuwuwu, I didn't know you usually eat so well." Xiao Liu didn't want to argue with her because there was delicious food in front of him.

Yu Shu put a chicken leg into Qiu Manman's bowl.

Si Zhuo who was a step slower.

They thought of the same thing.

Yu Jiyue held the bowl, looked left and right, not knowing how to solve the problem, so she simply pretended not to see it.

[Two chicken legs!! I won’t tell you what their strength is! ]

Each person on the table also has a bowl of dumplings, which symbolizes reunion.

Xiao Liu: "Are there coins in the dumplings?"

After she said that, Qiu Manman finally remembered, "There are no coins, but the two dumplings have peanuts, which I stuffed in. Eating this doubles the New Year's money."

Peanuts represent good things happening.

Xiao Liu picked up the bowl and said "kuakua" to show off.

When there were only two left, she felt very disappointed.

"This is fate. I can't eat flowers——"

She took out the peanuts from her mouth in a very ungraceful manner.

Xiao Liu laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Remember this, don't cheat, or your New Year's money will be doubled!"

Qiu Manman carefully turned over her own bowl.

[It doesn’t matter whether you have it or not, right? It’s no big deal to double your New Year’s money. 】

[I believe that even without peanuts, Si Zhuo would have prepared double the New Year's money for me. ]

She pretended not to care, but in fact she poked the filling so hard that the peanuts were rotten.

Okay.

Needless to say, she lost the double New Year's money given by others.

Yu Shu exclaimed softly, "It's me."

Yu Jiyue nodded, "It's you. My daughter is so lucky."

"Mom, please don't talk to me like that. I can't stand it."

Yu Shu ate the peanuts and felt warm in her heart.

Yu Jiyue: "This is how close relationships are established. People who are willing to speak to you in this tone are those who want to do you good."

After carefully savoring this sentence, Yu Shu concluded that Qiu Manman was also this kind of person.

This reunion dinner is very heartwarming.

After dinner, clusters of fireworks were lit outside.

Either the fireworks that shot up into the sky, or the small fireworks that surrounded Jiashui Bay.

The brilliance of the fireworks shone through the French windows.

"Now that we have eaten and drunk enough, it's time to go out and play."

Qiu Manman led the team out first.

There are many small fireworks in the yard of Jiashui Bay.

Big fireworks cannot be set off, but small fireworks are indispensable.

Qiu Manman bought many categories of products on the market.

Yu Shu couldn't let go at first, and after Xiao Liu teased him for a while, he jumped up.

Si Zhuo likes to be a bystander most of the time. He is happy when he sees Qiu Manman having fun.

Yu Jiyue couldn't play with the young people, so she was infected by the atmosphere and began to relax.

"Manman is a good girl. I hope your parents can see this."

"They will see it in heaven." Si Zhuo said calmly.

Yu Jiyue: “That’s right, hahaha.”

“Is Elmer watching us from heaven, too?”

She suddenly sighed and laughed unexpectedly, "It's so funny. When Elmer died, he knelt on the ground and begged me."

“…”

"Si Zhuo, I have a feeling that you and Man Man will go a long way together. You both love each other very much."

She smiled kindly and made a presumptuous request, "Can I touch your head? I didn't have the chance when you were little, and this is the first time I've seen you since I grew up."

Si Zhuo needs to bow his head.

Without hesitation, he bowed his head and fulfilled Yu Jiyue's wish.

Yu Jiyue was so excited that her fingers were shaking.

"Good...good boy."

Qiu Manman threw away the fireworks and looked for Si Zhuo, and saw him and his aunt getting along.

【Si Zhuo is happy again. 】

With the crackling sound of fireworks in her ears, Xiao Liu received a call from an unfamiliar number.

Because of work, she often receives strange calls on her phone.

"who?"

A soft female voice came from the other end, with a hint of coldness, "Who? Miss Xiao, you have completely forgotten my voice in less than a year? How dare you ask who I am?"

Xiao Liu's cell phone fell to the ground.

Qiu Manman looked at her, bent down and picked up her phone, "Hello, do you want to buy insurance? We have all kinds of insurance here..."

"Beep, beep, beep"

The other party hung up the phone.

Xiao Liu forced a smile and said, "It's Yun Yiwen."

Now Qiu Manman is also silent. Why didn't you say it earlier?

"Who is Yun Yiwen? Who is she friends with?" Yu Shu popped up from behind them.

"no."

Yu Shu had no idea about friendship, so he stopped asking when she said no.

After playing outside for an hour, Qiu Manman couldn't bear it anymore and went back to the house to keep warm.

Occasionally, one or two sounds of firecrackers and fireworks could be heard outside.

Qiu Manman went to find Si Zhuo first, and felt much more comfortable after his hands were warmed up.

That night, Yu Jiyue and Yu Shu were both arranged to stay in the guest room.

Xiao Liu retreated to his room early to work.

There were only Qiu Manman and Si Zhuo in the living room.

"Si Zhuo, happy New Year's Eve."

"Happy New Year's Eve." Si Zhuo replied, then looked down and saw that she had her eyes closed.

Si Zhuo waited for a few minutes, but there was no response when he poked her face, so he took a photo of her leaning in his arms.

He would deliberately put on a show.
