Chapter 2: Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West



Encouraged by the thunder, He Wanqing's steps became faster and faster, until finally she started to jog, and she, who was already feeling unwell, almost fell to the ground again.

Taxis in the middle of the road saw her like this and honked their horns from time to time to solicit business.

Unfortunately, He Wanqing, who was filled with hatred, didn't hear it at all. She ignored the invitations of one taxi after another and ran to her cousin's residence with gritted teeth.

Looking at the villa complex in front of him, he took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and walked towards his cousin's house.

"Knock, knock, knock."

After knocking on the door loudly, he stood there waiting for the servant to come and open the door.

The second floor of the villa.

He Cao, who was standing in front of the window, looked at the people outside her door with a puzzled look on her face.

When I saw the thunderstorm outside, I became even more confused.

She originally wanted He Wanqing to stay in the shower for a while longer, so she touched her right waist and said to the man next to her:

"My good cousin is here. Please go up to the third floor and wait until I get the news and chase her away before you come out."

The man standing beside her looked at the woman with a haggard face outside the door with disdain:

"Got it. Don't waste too much time. Send her away as soon as possible so as not to attract any dirty germs."

"Okay!" He Cao was very satisfied with the man's words and expression. He watched him go upstairs before asking the servant to open the door.

I changed into a more jewel-filled outfit and then slowly went downstairs to meet her.

First floor.

He Wanqing was brought in by the servant. She wiped her wet hair with a large towel while looking inside the villa.

Don’t know why?

Every time she came here, she always felt that something was strange here, but she couldn't find the reason.

The corners of her mouth raised as she watched the servant hand her another large towel, look at her pants with disdain, and feel sorry for the sofa under her butt.

Then he quietly stood up and walked to the stool on the other side and sat down, and also refused the towel that the servant handed to him again.

On the stairs, He Cao admired her embarrassment as she went down, and was very satisfied with the actions of her servant.

That’s right, after they leave, she will give her a raise.

"Ah~ little sister, why are you sitting on the stool? Hurry up and sit on the sofa. I just imported this from the British Empire a few days ago.

You can try it too. If it’s comfortable, I can customize one for you.

And your sister Zhang, please go to my room and get my sister a change of clothes. She can’t wear wet clothes anymore, or she will catch a cold again.

By the way, I heard that you were sick recently?

Well, I have caught a cold these past two days, and I was thinking I would come to see you when I felt better, but I didn’t expect you to come here first.”

While he was saying caring words, the mockery in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Even her steps down the stairs were much lighter, which showed how satisfied she was with He Wanqing's current appearance.

"No need, cousin. I just came to talk to you and then I'll leave."

Putting her wet hair behind her head, He Wanqing looked up at her and shook her head.

His eyes dimmed when he saw her face.

Looking at her face and thinking about herself, He Wanqing suddenly didn't want to ask her for help anymore.

There is only two years difference between them. When she was a child at home, she was the happiest girl in the brigade.

It was my grandfather who helped me find a marriage partner with the most promising man in the village at that time, who worked in the security department of a machinery factory in the city.

Who would have thought that after so many years, the gap between them would be so huge.

Her cousin, who had married an ordinary man and became a widow, was getting better and better and younger, but she had aged at least ten years.

Now no one would believe if you said she was the older sister or the younger sister.

After hearing her words of praise for her children, she, who had lost her uterus and kidneys, did not dare to look up at her.

She was afraid of seeing contempt and disgust in her eyes, just like the servant had just shown.

He Cao had already walked to the sofa and looked at the person who was lowering his head and keeping silent, and curled his lips in disdain.

His eyes looked at the newly bought sofa in the living room, then at her, then he shook his head and walked over to sit on the stool opposite her.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you so embarrassed?

You told my sister that even though we are cousins ​​from different families, we must stick together in Shan City.

Tell me what difficulties you have encountered. Don't worry, even if I can't solve it, your nephew and niece can definitely help you."

Ignoring the envy in her eyes, He Cao once again hit her self-confidence.

'Tsk~

It was useless to rely on the fact that there was a soldier in your family to live a good life. Now you are asking me for help?'

Whenever he thought about what happened in the village back then, the smile on He Cao's face never faded.

That saying is really true: things change over time. It really is true.

He Wanqing looked up suddenly and just happened to see the smile in He Cao's eyes.

She knew that the smile was definitely meant to mock her, but her cousins ​​lived far away from her, and her brother had died that year.

Now she was the only one here, and she had no choice but to come to her for help.

It doesn't matter if you are ridiculed, as long as you can get your property and house back.

He automatically ignored the look in her eyes, sat up straight, and began to speak with empty eyes.

.......

When she was sad, she wiped her eyes with her dripping sleeves and sobbed, "Sister, I have always been devoted to the Xu family.

Especially after my mother and brother passed away, I always treated them as my parents and brothers.

But what about them?

They treat me like a fool, eat my food, drink my drinks, spend my money, and want to kick me out. "

Wiping away tears, she said, "There is no way I would agree to this. Not to mention the money, even if it's my uterus and kidneys, I can't let them go."

He Cao, who had already been shocked by her words, swallowed his saliva silently several times, looked at her murderous face and said tentatively:

"The Xu family is really a nobody. They used the sacrifices of your uncle and your brothers to pave the way for them.

Who knew that later it would explode and trap you in her house to work like a slave, earning money to support their family.

By the way, little sister, do you know who Xu Weijun’s new wife is?

And what are you going to do with those two kids?"

He looked at her with a gloomy expression, his heart was in a panic, and he was thinking about countermeasures.

He shook his head: "I don't know, they didn't tell me."

He Wanqing didn't know that if she stayed a few more seconds she would have heard who that person was, but she was so anxious that she couldn't help but leave, otherwise the following things would not have happened.

"I don't know, what are you going to do?

You also know that some things are not so easy to find out! Especially for the factory directors and leaders like them."

After hearing the correct answer, He Cao's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he had more leisure to look at the suffering He Wanqing.
