Mu Wanting nodded, feigning a sorrowful expression.
"I'll go take a look ahead."
Shen Mingjiao said angrily, "Second brother, what are you thinking? My sister-in-law is so loyal and devoted. She even wanted to wait until our situation stabilized before divorcing you. The things she said just now clearly showed that you hurt her feelings. How could you agree with her?"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore."
With that, he shoved Qin'er into Shen Xinglan's arms, then angrily got out of the car wearing a raincoat and went to chase after Mu Wanting.
Mu Wanting had only walked a short distance when Su Yu approached her, his tone smug.
"Look at you, you don't even know what you're after, and yet the other person doesn't appreciate it at all."
Mu Wanting raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Of course, it's because he's paralyzed, crippled, and cold-blooded."
Su Yu burst into laughter: "Mu Wanting, speak properly, stop joking."
Mu Wanting shrugged: "So tell me, what's so great about me that I have anything to show for myself?"
Su Yu could no longer laugh; the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Mu Wanting, if it doesn't work out, let's get a divorce."
Mu Wanting looked at Su Yu in surprise. These days, few people talk about divorce, since divorce is not a very respectable thing to do.
And Su Yu actually tried to persuade her, someone she had only known for a short time.
People say they advise reconciliation, not separation.
"But you're not happy, he's not good to you."
Looking into those amber, cynical eyes, he looked at her with unusual seriousness.
Mu Wanting's mask-like smile couldn't hold up anymore; few people cared whether she was happy or not.
Thank you.
Su Yu said, "If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
After saying that, he put on a nonchalant attitude again and went to find Ma Dazhuang.
As soon as Su Yu left, Shen Mingjiao arrived at Mu Wanting's side.
“Sister-in-law, that’s just how my second brother is. He’s not very romantic yet. He didn’t really want to divorce you when he said that. He’s just a stubborn person.”
Mu Wanting shook her head: "He doesn't like me, I don't blame him."
Her motives for approaching Shen Xinglan were not entirely pure.
She doesn't like him anymore, so why would she be sad?
At most, it's just annoying.
Shen Mingjiao felt that she had suffered a great injustice. She took her hand, spoke to her gently, knitted a small straw hat to coax her, and told some old jokes.
Mu Wanting was very cooperative, and Shen Mingjiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he said some nice things about Shen Xinglan.
Mu Wanting cooperated perfectly, letting the words go in one ear and out the other, nodding occasionally. Shen Mingjiao held her hand and said sincerely.
“Sister-in-law, you can rest assured and live with my brother. He will know how good you are.”
Mu Wanting smiled but didn't say anything. The current Shen Mingjiao was so vibrant and wonderful, as if the previous conflicts were all from a past life.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu walked over nonchalantly and stuffed a fruit into Mu Wanting's hand.
"Try it. This fruit only grows in the wild. I only found two just now."
Mu Wanting smiled and accepted it. Sure enough, the sweet and sour taste was very appetizing, and she really liked it.
Su Yu handed her another one.
Mu Wanting was stunned.
Should I give her both?
Su Yu smiled, glanced at the fruit in front of her, and finally popped it into his mouth.
"tasty."
Mu Wanting was amused. She noticed that Su Yu always had a vibrant youthful spirit, something she, who had spent her whole life struggling, lacked.
Shen Xinglan happened to witness this scene, and felt a tightness in her chest from anger.
She could always smile so happily at Su Yu.
The gentleness I showed him was like a mask.
He lowered the carriage curtain, leaned back in the carriage to catch his breath, and it took a long time for his mind to calm down.
Then he felt strange, wondering why he felt angry when he saw Mu Wanting smiling at Su Yu.
After thinking about it, I realized it was probably because I didn't like Su Yu at all.
It's definitely not because I have any feelings for Mu Wanting.
After the hailstorm, the temperature dropped immediately, and everyone who was dressed lightly couldn't withstand it.
Fortunately, Mu Wanting's raincoat not only protected against hail but also kept her warm. While the others were shivering from the cold, the members of the third branch of the family were quite warm.
They walked until dark before finally leaving the area threatened by the hail. At least the temperature wasn't so low anymore, so they set up their tents and went to sleep.
Since the tent was installed, the sleep quality of the third cell has improved dramatically, leaving the other prisoners only with envy and resentment.
Zhang Caiyun went to Shen's mother, wanting to ask for the extra oilcloth.
“As you know, Mother is with us now. If you don’t give us tarpaulin, we won’t be able to set up the tent properly. What if Mother gets bitten by mosquitoes or gets sick from the rain?”
"If I had an oilcloth, even if I didn't use it myself, I would still give it to my mother."
Mother Shen said calmly, "Second sister-in-law, we don't have much oilcloth left."
Zhang Caiyun frowned: "You'd rather use those oilcloths to cover the herbs than give them to Mother? Zhao Lanpei, you're so selfish and heartless."
Mother Shen frowned: "You yourself are incapable of supporting your parents, yet you insisted on dividing the family property, and now you're blaming me for being selfish?"
Mu Wanting smiled and said, "Second Aunt, now that the family has separated, how to take care of the elderly depends on each family's ability. There's no reason for your second branch to drag our third branch into fulfilling your filial duties, is there?"
"I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself if I tell people about this outsourcing of filial piety."
Zhang Caiyun said, "We are all members of the Shen family, why make such distinctions?"
"Then let me ask you, Second Aunt, if in the future your second branch has something that our third branch's elderly lady needs, will you give it to us?"
