Chapter 87 The Little Scoundrel's Dark Moonlight Educated Youth 22
There was a roar and the train entered the station.
Shen Xinran let go of Wei Ping'an and said with a faint smile: "You have to take care of yourself at home alone."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, she boarded the train. This departure might very well be a farewell forever, but if she was asked if she regretted it, Shen Xinran felt that she did not regret it.
The dim lights of the station flickered in the darkness. Wei Ping'an stood there, watching Shen Xinran leave. He turned around only after the train completely disappeared from his sight.
Because it was too late and there was no bus back home, he stayed in a guesthouse for one night and returned home the next morning.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Wu Chunhua and heard Wu Chunhua ask him, "Is Mingzhu back home?"
Wei Ping'an nodded, "Yes, the train we took last night should arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow."
When Wei Pingan returned to his room, he saw a watch on the bedside table. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Mingzhu, you're so forgetful! You even forgot to bring your watch."
…
Shen Xinran had been gone for a month, but her family leave was only half a month. As time went on, someone noticed something was amiss.
The villagers were talking about it, and even Mrs. Wei was discussing it with Wei Ersou. "Even if Mingzhu doesn't come back, she should at least write a letter!"
After looking around, Wei Ersao lowered her voice and said, "You say, she won't come back, will she?"
Wei Pingan happened to hear their conversation. He frowned and said seriously, "Mingzhu will definitely come back. She must be delayed by something now."
Hearing Wei Ping'an say this, Wei Dasao looked at Wei Ping'an with a hint of sadness. If he wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago. How could he wait so long?
Wei Ping'an always believed that Shen Xinran would come back. In his opinion, he liked Shen Xinran so much and treated her so well. There was no reason for Shen Xinran to abandon him.
Until one day, the postman delivered a letter. "Is Wei Ping'an there? There's a letter for you."
The Wei family was preparing to have lunch. Wei Ping'an heard the sound and rushed out. He took the letter and saw the three words "Li Mingzhu" clearly written on the sender.
Wei Ping'an opened the envelope with a smile on his face, but the contents inside made his smile freeze and his eyes turned cold instantly.
Wu Chunhua didn't notice anything was wrong. She came up and asked with a smile, "What did the letter say? Did it say when she would be back?"
Wei Pingan clutched the letter tightly, his eyes indifferent, "No need to wait, she won't come back."
Wu Chunhua felt strange and asked, "What do you mean by not coming back?"
Wei Ping'an's brows were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "She found a job there and she won't come back."
Wu Chunhua frowned and asked, "What about you? What are you going to do?"
Wei Pingan laughed self-deprecatingly, "She and I just had a wedding in the countryside, and we didn't get a marriage certificate. Now it can only be considered a breakup, not even a divorce."
Wu Chunhua was stunned for a moment. "You must have seen it wrong. Mingzhu doesn't seem like the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich!"
Wei Ping'an stopped talking. He actually thought he was mistaken, but he and Shen Xinran had been together for two years, and no one knew Shen Xinran's handwriting better than him.
He took a deep breath, walked up to Wei Rong, and said seriously, "Mingzhu needs to transfer her job. She needs a certificate from us. Please send it to her."
Mrs. Wei's eyes widened and she shrieked, "You're crazy! She treated you like this, and you still helped her get the certificate."
Wei Ersao also said: "Yes, in my opinion, we should not get her a certificate. Once she loses her job, she will naturally come back."
Wei Pingan chuckled softly from his throat. "If I try to keep her this way, even if I can keep her body, I won't be able to keep her heart. Why bother?"
Wei Rong looked at Wei Ping'an with a serious expression, "With this certificate, there's no chance for you and her anymore. Have you really thought it through?"
Wei Pingan nodded and said, "You drive."
Wei Rong looked at Wei Ping'an with deep concern, and after Wei Ping'an finished speaking, he returned to his room.
When he saw the watch on the bedside table again, he felt only irony. In his memory, she rarely wore this watch. It turned out that she was not reluctant to wear it, but she just didn't like it...
The staff compound of the Beijing Chengbei Textile Factory.
Shen Xinran took the vegetables she had just bought and went up the stairs to the fourth floor. The stairs were very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through.
There were six families living on each floor, and the Li family lived at the right end. Shen Xinran took out the key and opened the door. He called out to the middle-aged woman on the sofa, "Mom, I'm back."
Seeing her daughter coming back, Lu Xiaoqin smiled instantly and asked her, "What dishes are there today?"
Shen Xinran placed the dishes on the table and said with a faint smile, "The supply and marketing cooperative has crucian carp and tofu available today. They look fresh, so I bought some of both."
Lu Xiaoqin glanced at the dishes on the table and nodded, "They are quite fresh and can be used to make soup."
But after she finished speaking, she walked up to Shen Xinran and patted Shen Xinran's hand, "Mingzhu, when can your friend help you get that certificate?"
"It should be... soon!" Shen Xinran replied with a smile.
Lu Xiaoqin nodded. "That's good. I was worried something might happen to your brother. Once your certificate arrives, we'll immediately start handing over the work."
A trace of guilt flashed in Shen Xinran's eyes. In the plot, Wei Ping'an helped Li Mingzhu, but she was not the real Li Mingzhu after all.
If Wei Ping'an refuses to give her the certificate, or if Wei Rong deliberately blocks her certificate, then she will have no choice but to go back. This means the plot will collapse.
Fortunately, half a month later, Shen Xinran received a letter from Wei Ping'an, and in the envelope was the certificate she needed.
Along with the letter came the watch. Although it was made of cold metal, Shen Xinran felt inexplicably hot.
After Lu Xiaoqin finished packing her things, she saw Shen Xinran holding a watch in a daze. She frowned slightly, "I've never seen you wear this watch before. When did you buy it?"
Shen Xinran smiled and said, "I bought it last year. I left in such a hurry that I left it there."
Lu Xiaoqin nodded. "Your friend is quite nice. He actually sent you the watch."
Shen Xinran nodded, "He's a very nice person."
Lu Xiaoqin didn't think much about it, she took Shen Xinran's hand and walked out, urging: "There is no time to lose, let's go and hand over the work this afternoon."
It turned out that Lu Xiaoqin was quite foresighted. That evening, her son Li Mingjia brought Wang Jie home for dinner and shared a big news with everyone: "Mom, Xiaojie and I are getting married next month."
Shen Xinran sat on the sofa. She glanced at her future sister-in-law. She had big eyes, a high nose bridge, and short hair that reached her shoulders. She gave people the feeling that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Wang Jie happened to look at Shen Xinran, and their eyes met in mid-air. She smiled at Shen Xinran and said, "It's been almost two months since Mingzhu came back. When will she go back?"
Shen Xinran smiled and replied, "I'm not going back."
Wang Jie suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. "What do you mean by that? As an educated youth, if you stay in the city without a job, you will be taken away as a refugee."
Lu Xiaoqin came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes. "My leg is injured, so I gave the job to Mingzhu. She will stay in Jing City from now on."
The smile on Wang Jie's face froze, "When did this happen?"
Lu Xiaoqin glanced at Wang Jie and said casually, "This afternoon."
The expression on Wang Jie's face almost couldn't be held tight. She was her future daughter-in-law. It would be fine if she didn't give the job to her, but how could she give it to a girl who was destined to get married!
