From the time Shu Ying regained her memories, a tailor would come to the Shu family every day. The old lady would personally select the best silk fabrics, sometimes to make cheongsams, sometimes to make dresses, but every piece she made matched her temperament.
“Yingying, you must remember, there are no ugly women in this world, only lazy women. You must wear the right clothes and say the right things for the right occasion. Even when you are at your lowest point, you must stand up straight and not let others laugh at you. Do you understand?”
At that time, Shu Ying always felt that the profound truths behind these words were too shallow, so she just nodded perfunctorily: "I know, Grandma. I want to be the most beautiful old lady like you in the future."
She only now realizes the truths her grandmother taught her; at the time, she thought they were just commonplace.
Although the Shu family is large and wealthy, they have never done anything immoral or immoral. The old man is kind-hearted and established a foundation in his own name in his early years to help the poor.
She inherited her parents' wishes and went abroad to study medicine, simply because she wanted to reduce the suffering in the world.
Unfortunately, fate is cruel and things don't go as planned. Now she can barely take care of herself, so how can she protect those who are still suffering from illness?
Shu Ying shook her head, then quickly pulled herself back from those thoughts. The past is gone with the wind, and the person is gone. Endless remembrance is nothing but sorrow.
She put everything away from the living room and re-hung up portraits and photos of her parents and grandparents.
Shu Ying sighed, "Since we can't save this house no matter what, let's just replicate it in another space. In fact, we're still not separated, right, Mom and Dad?"
She didn't want to experience all the joys and sorrows of life; she just wanted a life where she could see the end from the beginning, whether it was peaceful or uneventful, as long as her family was together, it didn't matter.
When she returned to the courtyard, Shu Yan and Shu Xuecheng's family were still sprawled on the ground like a pile of mud.
Shu Ying wasn't particularly strong, but she used a clever technique, so it wouldn't be easy for her to wake up in a short time.
She kicked Shu Xuecheng with some disdain; he was bruised and swollen, his face pressed tightly against the stone slab.
"You're as heavy as a dead pig. All the things Grandma told you to use to develop your brain have grown into this body of fat."
The luggage was scattered on the ground in a mess. Apart from the clothes used as cover, it was full of cash. So many boxes of money!
Shu Ying had already guessed that her uncle was the most cautious person. He specifically told Shu Jie to only take the large items, while he and Gao Jie carried all the cash and currency.
As long as the two of them didn't reach the port, there was absolutely no way that Shu Jie, who was penniless, would abandon them and leave.
The situation in Hong Kong was chaotic to begin with, and all the connections people had were with Shu Xuecheng. The good-for-nothing Shu Jie couldn't live without his parents.
Shu Ying wasn't interested in the scheming between the father and son; all she knew was that she couldn't leave them with even the slightest bit of valuables!
Shu Xuecheng's wristwatch, ring, and ration coupons were all confiscated.
The jewelry worn by Gao Jie and Shu Yan was also damaged.
Besides these items that could be converted into money, Shu Ying didn't even spare their clothes and shoes.
The three people lay sprawled on the ground, as if they had grown out of the floor tiles. In the end, they were stripped down to their bare feet, leaving only their thermal underwear underneath.
Shu Ying clapped her hands, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.
"I'm giving you one last fig leaf as a gesture of respect. Considering we're all from the Shu family, I won't go so far as to wipe you out. But your good days are yet to come."
She snorted coldly, took the jade pendant in her hand, locked the door, hailed a car by the roadside, and hurriedly went to the port.
There weren't many cars on the road, but Shu Ying was extremely anxious.
Although I knew there was still time, every moment on the road was torture.
She clasped her hands together nervously, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.
-
At this moment on the border, Xie Zhiyan, who was walking with a limp, stood out in the crowd.
His face was still stained with blood, his hair was covered in dust, his bloodshot eyes were bloodshot, and the dark circles under his eyes indicated that he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Seeing him frantically digging at the soil, Wang Zhande earnestly advised, "Commander, we all know this pocket watch is very important to you, but finding something so small here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. You haven't had much rest yet, and now that Zhangzhou is finally over, you should go and get some rest. Otherwise, even an iron body can't withstand this kind of damage."
This war lasted for nearly half a year, but in reality, they had not been home for at least three or four years.
Everyone has someone they care about. When Xie Zhiyan was on the march, he always carried a pocket watch with him. Some people even teased him, saying that the pocket watch was as important as his wife.
Xie Zhiyan just smiled and didn't explain further. Now that the war was over and the front lines were winding down, everyone could finally take a good rest. However, while cleaning up the battlefield, Xie Zhiyan insisted on searching for the pocket watch again.
He gazed at the red flag fluttering in the distance, his eyes filled with an unyielding sorrow.
"There was a picture of my wife in that pocket watch, which is very important to me."
This was the first time Xie Zhiyan had spoken up to explain.
He didn't own many things, and the photo in his pocket watch was the only one he owned.
