He Shaoyun was also having trouble sleeping.
I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"Xiaoyun, is something on your mind?" He Shaohua was about to fall asleep, but her younger sister kept tossing and turning, disturbing her.
Pull her out of her sleep.
He Shaoyun didn't respond immediately. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Sister, when you received Uncle Wu's telegram asking Brother Wu to marry me, what were you thinking?"
He Shaohua fell into deep thought.
Recalling that scene, He Shaohua felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
But then she realized that her younger sister might need more protection, so she could only work on her own mental preparation.
“Brother Wu fell in love with someone in that place, and our relationship became that of childhood sweethearts, not a romantic one.” When He Shaohua said this calmly, He Shaoyun felt as if a thunderclap had struck on a sunny day.
He sat up abruptly.
"Sis, what does this mean?"
In He Shaoyun's memory, Wu Jindong had always liked her sister very much.
He Shaohua also sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and said, "I just found out too. I received a telegram from Uncle Wu that day, and I told him about it. As a result, he called Uncle Wu and said that he had someone he liked, a fellow educated youth who came to the countryside from Beijing with us named Liao Ningning. She is prettier than me and became a village cadre. Everyone in the village likes her. Wu Jindong probably chose to be with her because he wanted to get the right to return to the city."
Now I can only use this excuse to shield myself from the truth, unwilling to believe it.
“Sister…” He Shaoyun looked at He Shaohua and said with a mix of sadness and heartache, “Wu Jindong must have seen our family decline to act like this.”
He Shaohua comforted He Shaoyun, saying, "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. It's only natural for Brother Wu to seek his own interests, and we can't blame him."
“But you’ve sacrificed so much for him all these years!” He Shaoyun knew that her sister really liked Wu Jindong.
He Shaohua smiled bitterly. Having been through so much, she comforted Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, there's no future between Brother Wu and me, but I will definitely protect you. I also hope you won't give up your bright future just because you're feeling down. Whether you get married or not, we can still make a name for ourselves here. I'm going to start interviewing for teaching positions at middle schools in the city. If I pass the interviews, I can become a teacher at a middle school in the city. The living conditions in the city are better, and the transportation is more convenient. I will try my best to seize every opportunity."
He Shaoyun frowned, looking at her sister and uncle with heartache, unable to recover from their shock.
He Shaoyun's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Sister~" He Shaoyun cried in her sister's arms, sobbing quietly, not daring to cry out loud.
He Shaohua gently patted her sister's shoulder to comfort her: "Don't cry. We'll take care of each other from now on. Dad will come out one day. You must believe in Dad and believe that the truth will eventually come out."
"Sister, I'm in pain. I'm in pain for you, and I'm in pain for myself." He Shaoyun didn't want to believe that she would have to go through these things one day.
"What's the use of feeling bad? The current predicament won't change just because you feel bad! You have to look forward and not make a decision based on a momentary impulse. Xiaoyun! Let's give Chulin another chance, or rather, give yourself another chance. Come with me to the countryside and live a good life. In the future, we will definitely be able to carve out a path for ourselves without relying on anyone!"
He Shaohua hugged He Shaoyun and gently patted He Shaoyun's back as she spoke.
"Just like when I was a child, when my parents weren't around, even if others called us unwanted children, I would still protect you like I would when I was little."
Even though He Shaohua is insignificant and powerless, she is confident that she can protect her younger sister.
He Shaoyun was even more moved after hearing her sister's words. She nodded and remained silent, pursing her lips.
"The fact that Chu Lin came all this way to find you shows that he cares about you. It's just that he seems like a boy who only knows how to close off his emotions and hasn't realized his own feelings yet. Give him some time and wait a little longer. Even if you're not waiting for him, it's a chance for you to catch your breath and think things through. Maybe one day in the future, you'll meet a boy who treats you well, can give you happiness, and that you feel is more suitable for you."
He Shaohua wasn't advising her sister to give Chu Lin a chance, but rather to give herself a chance.
The road of life is long.
Sometimes when you hesitate or encounter a problem, just wait a little longer and it will pass.
He Shaohua simply didn't want her sister to regret choosing the wrong path.
"I'll listen to my sister." After calming down these past two days, He Shaoyun saw Lu He, the woman Chu Lin deeply loved, so confident and poised. She should be like that too.
Live your own life.
He Shaohua said softly, "Go to sleep quickly, don't think too much."
"Okay, goodnight, sis," He Shaoyun said to He Shaohua.
After He Shaohua and He Shaoyun lay down, He Shaohua covered his younger sister with a blanket.
Lu He was awakened from a nightmare in the middle of the night, covered in sweat.
I turned on the bedside lamp and saw that it was only a little past three o'clock.
As Lu He turned off the light, put down her watch, and closed her eyes, Xu Feiming's image appeared in her mind and lingered there.
She bit her lip shyly.
[Lu He, what are you doing?]
Is it just that he's in heat, or is it a psychological need?
If this were the Lu He of the past, she would have felt extremely ashamed, but now it's different; this is a physiological need that everyone experiences.
