Chen Shuyi didn't take Fan Xiurong seriously at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Chen Mengzheng who was shameless and tried every means to win her back.
That slap just now is the best proof.
She held Chu Yi's hand, and the two of them went in and closed the gate. The commotion outside could not disturb them at all.
When Chen Mengzheng saw her ruthlessly close the gate, his face turned dark.
When Chen Wenxian and Chen Wenyun saw their father like this, they stood there for a while and dared not move, and only followed his father after he left.
Of course Fan Xiurong followed Chen Mengzheng back to the Chen family. After this incident, she was sure that Chen Mengzheng would not go to her parents' home to persuade her to go back. So why should she wait in vain? It would be better for her to just go back to the Chen family. Otherwise, she would have no place to stand in her parents' home.
Because of the human trafficker incident, she caused her father to be captured by the government. When her mother found out about this, she hated her to death. She was afraid that her mother would sell her to an old widower for money.
Chen Mengzheng had a gloomy face the whole time. He thought that he could use his two children to win Shen Shuyi's sympathy, so that she could divorce the country bumpkin and return to the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, he was not only humiliated by Shen Shuyi, but also ridiculed by so many people, with Fan Xiurong, the vain bitch, following behind him.
Seeing that he ignored her, Fan Xiurong followed him back to Chen’s house and asked, “Cousin, don’t go to Shen Shuyi again in the future, so as not to be criticized.”
"What does this have to do with you?" Chen Mengzheng turned around and stared at Fan Xiurong angrily. It was all because of this woman who seduced him in the study, otherwise why would Chen Shuyi be asking for a divorce!
Fan Xiurong felt terrified by his stare, and her heart was icy cold. She pursed her lips and said, "How can it be okay? I am your wife now."
"Then from today on, you are no longer one!" Chen Mengzheng angrily wrote a divorce letter, "You disobeyed your parents in the Chen family, and you were jealous and talkative. I want to divorce you."
Fan Xiurong went crazy. "I will never leave the Chen family. Cousin, you can't divorce me. I have given so much to this family. How can you..."
“So what, have you forgotten how you married into my family? If you hadn’t seduced me, how could Shen Shuyi leave?!” Every word Chen Mengzheng said made Fan Xiurong pale.
She admitted that she had intended to seduce Chen Mengzheng. Wasn't he right? If he had been more determined, if he had not had any ulterior motives, how could she have succeeded!
Fan Xiurong went crazy and tore up the divorce letter, and the two of them started fighting.
When Chen's mother, who had been pretending to have difficulty walking and needed someone to take care of her, saw this scene, she immediately stood up, picked up her crutches and went to beat Fan Xiurong.
But Fan Xiurong and Chen Mengzheng were arguing with each other, and she accidentally hit Chen Mengzheng on the head with her cane.
The family was in a state of chaos, with heads broken and blood all over.
…
Chen Shuyi heard that Fan Xiurong was sent to the police for beating her husband, and that her two stepchildren filed the complaint. Chen's mother pretended to have difficulty walking, and who would have thought that she had beaten her own son. Fan Xiurong had no way to defend herself.
The cane hit Chen Mengzheng so hard that his brain was injured. He became dizzy and dizzy whenever he read, and had no chance of taking the imperial examination. Upon hearing about this, Shen Shuyi stopped caring about the Chen family's affairs and focused on taking care of her pregnancy.
As she was pregnant, her legs and feet were a little swollen, so Chu Yi soaked her feet in hot water every night to reduce the swelling and make her feel more comfortable.
Shen Shuyi supported her hands behind her back and looked at the man in front of her with her belly sticking out.
Chu Yi sat under the bed with a small wooden stool and soaked her dazzlingly white feet in the water. After soaking for a while, he wiped them dry with a towel and carefully helped her lie down on the bed.
There was still a light on in the room. Shen Shuyi held Chu Yi's hand and placed it on her belly, smiling and saying, "This little guy is particularly active."
Chu Yi looked at her gentle face and felt extremely fulfilled and sweet in his heart.
He gently held her in his arms, sniffed the sweet fragrance of her hair, and whispered, "I felt it. The child kicked my hand just now."
"You're quite strong." Shen Shuyi felt Chu Yi's hot body temperature. She pulled the man's hand and placed it on her belly. The two of them felt the powerful kicks under their bellies.
She looked up and saw the incredible and gentle look on the man's face. She said with a smile, "What a naughty boy."
"My father said that I was very naughty when I was a child and often fought with other kids in the village." Chu Yi recalled with some nostalgia.
Shen Shuyi really couldn't imagine, "I thought you had a serious face since you were a child."
Chu Yi didn't tell her that when he was a child he was teased for not having a mother and he got so angry that he got into a fight with others.
Shen Shuyi held Chu Yi's hand tightly, "Chu Yi, no matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side. When the child is born and grows up a little, how about our family move to the capital? I heard that the capital is particularly prosperous."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chu Yi wanted to go hunting in the mountains to earn more money, but he was worried about his wife being alone at home, and he was also afraid that his wife would worry about him getting into trouble in the forest, so he said, "Then I'll make more sugar and sell it to save money to move."
"Well, let's move to the county town when it gets warmer in spring. It's a bit boring in the village." Shen Shuyi really likes shopping, but it's hard to go shopping in the village.
"Okay." Chu Yi stroked her back gently, "Go to sleep."
…
Spring is here in the blink of an eye. In April, the branches are full of snow-white locust flowers. The locust flowers are blooming and have a strong fragrance. Chen Shuyi is thinking about going to the river with Chu Yi to pick locust flowers to make locust flower cakes and locust flower omelettes.
Seeing that she was heavy, Chu Yi didn't want to take her with him, but the good weather in spring was a good time for an outing, so he carried a bamboo basket and carefully supported his wife as they walked towards the river.
Chen Shu thought he was being too cautious, so he smiled and said, "I'm walking very steadily, so you don't have to worry, sir."
"Spring is here and the flowers are blooming. Today is a nice day."
"Well, you sit by the tree and have some snacks and enjoy the breeze while I go pick some locust flowers." Chu Yi put a box of sweet rice cakes and a box of shepherd's purse and egg dumplings in a bamboo basket.
"Okay~"
There were several locust trees by the river, but they went there early and only a few people came to pick the flowers.
Chu Yi took down the bamboo basket, took out a long piece of cloth from the basket and spread it on the grass, put some snacks on it and helped Shen Shuyi sit down, then he felt at ease to pick locust flowers.
In less than half an hour, Chu Yi picked a full bamboo basket of fragrant locust flowers.
Chen Shuyi walked over and looked at the newly opened tender locust flowers, and said with a smile: "Husband, how about we have locust flower fried eggs or steamed locust flowers for lunch?"
“The rest can be used to make locust flower cakes.”
“It tastes fragrant and sweet~”
"Little greedy cat, you stand aside and give orders, I'll do it." Chu Yi looked at his beloved wife's belly, which was about to give birth in two months, and was really worried that she would be tired and uncomfortable.
"Okay." Chen Shuyi looked at the clear river water and said, "When summer comes, we will all move to the county town. I heard there is a lake in the county town, and many people go there to catch water chestnuts on a boat in the summer."
This time Chu Yi did not agree immediately. His wife was about to give birth, so how could he dare to take her to go boating on the lake?
…
In the summer, their family moved to the county town, and Chu Yi bought two houses in the county town, which were separated by only a long alley.
There was a large yard in front of the house where Shen Shuyi and Chu Yi lived. There was a pomegranate tree growing next to the well in the yard. When they moved in, the pomegranates were ripe.
On the other side of the long alley wall are where my parents and my younger brothers and sisters live. It is also an elegant and tidy house.
