“Who said I would move back just because your second aunt is coming back?”
“My dad, my dad said it. My dad doesn’t lie.”
Xu Keke didn't want to make any false promises to the child, "But I've already agreed with your Aunt Ma that I'll be living at their house from now on."
Xu Keke's words saddened Xiaodouzi, and she even shed a few tears when she left that day.
In the following days, Xiaodouzi would come to visit her again, sometimes with a boiled egg in his pocket, and sometimes with a handful of wild, unidentifiable sour fruits from the mountain.
He didn't mention letting her stay at his house anymore. But he didn't seem very upset either. This made Xu Keke feel a little strange; she couldn't understand how Chen Jianguo had managed to appease the little one.
One day, Xiumei came to her crying, asking if it was true that she would leave once she recovered. Only then did she realize that Chen Jianguo was using delaying tactics on Xiaodouzi.
Just as Xu Keke was almost fully recovered, Wu Wanyi arrived.
She came to inform me that she was going to marry Chen Xichun.
Xu Keke didn't know what her mindset was when she came. But she could tell she was very excited, even a little too excited. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her tone carried a hint of smugness, more like she was showing off.
"Xichun and I got our marriage certificate."
"congratulations!"
Men are all so despicable!
Her thin lips curled slightly, giving her a somewhat sarcastic look. "Xiao Han has begged me several times. I used to be the one pursuing him, but now that he knows Chen Xichun and I are together, he's gotten desperate, humph!"
Xu Keke really wanted to remind her that night, the woman had told her that she eventually married Xiao Han. She, however, had always been a couple with Chen Xichun.
Wu Wanyi, however, remained immersed in her own world.
"But it's too late, humph! You know, he's the youngest child of his parents, they're both old and don't have much ability. His younger sister is still young, and the family is so poor that even the clothes he wore when he arrived were altered from his father's clothes. He was anxious to go back, but his parents' factory could only send one child. His sister went. Originally, he could have gone to university when the college entrance exam was reinstated. Now,"
Wu Wanyi sneered, "Don't even mention that he ruined his college entrance exam spot. Even if I helped him, how could he concentrate on studying? How could he afford study materials? He ruined his life for that woman. Now he sees her true colors, knows she's a fickle woman, and knows I'm good to him, but it's too late. He'll regret it for the rest of his life."
Although she knew these words were probably meant for herself, she was just venting her emotions. Xu Keke didn't interrupt her, not because Xu Keke was kind-hearted, but because in Bai Lu's memory, the Chen family mother and son weren't easy people to deal with. Wu Wanyi was a little too happy too soon.
