Just like that, when Chen Yan was directing the aunts to clean up the house at the double price of two yuan given by Shen Rongrong, she saw her brother's car coming back.
"Xiao Chen!" As soon as she saw him, Auntie Wang wanted to go over and tell him about these things, but when she saw him get off the car with a cold face, she immediately said, "Auntie is going home to cook... I'm leaving first."
The others were also fed up with Chen Yan's bossing around. They had originally just been looking for a place to chat and do some work, to have fun for a dollar, but now the price had suddenly increased and they had to work harder, so they immediately found excuses to leave and asked for half of the wages, even 50 cents would be fine.
Chen Yan looked at her brother staring at her coldly, and reluctantly paid the money and let him go.
When everyone had left, she stood in front of Chen Yu, lowering her head: "Brother..."
"Tell me." Although Chen Yu's eyes were unhappy, his emotions were as stable as ever. He found a place where he could barely sit and sat down: "What's going on?"
"I..." Chen Yan's eyes flickered back and forth: "Didn't I tell you yesterday..."
…
yesterday.
Chen Yu returned to the dormitory and found his ID and pager which he had left behind when he hurriedly changed into his military uniform and went up the mountain to assemble.
In just one week, there are so many unread messages.
Most of them were from Wu Zheng, and some were from his father, asking him where he was and if anything happened, and asking him to call back when he had time. The last one was telling him to not worry because he was taking his grandmother to a big city for surgery.
He was anxious about his marriage and could only go home to ask his sister if she knew anything.
In the eyes of Chen Yu, an only son who left home at a young age, this adopted sister who came to the Chen family when she was eight or nine years old was not only not as easy to be hugged and kissed as other biological sisters, but also grew a lot taller every year after returning from the army, her personality became increasingly naughty, she stayed away from home every day, and never enjoyed the happiness of being a brother.
I was afraid that my sister would be scared by not seeing her for a long time, so I bought her a beautiful pen, but no one was at home.
After asking the neighbors, I found out that she hadn't been home for more than ten days, and the news from them was still that her parents took her to attend a wedding out of town.
Only a boy from a neighboring family said that he saw Chen Yan and a boy playing in a nearby game hall, both yesterday and today.
Chen Yu captured Chen Yan on the spot... and a yellow-haired guy.
The yellow-haired boy watched a man with an imposing figure and a stern aura enter the game room, and then he bent down slightly behind Chen Yan, who was standing next to him, and put his arms around the girl who was playing games... He was so scared that he hid under the game table.
Chen Yan saw the little yellow-haired boy beside him suddenly roll down, and his head seemed to be covered by a dark cloud. He looked up and saw people, and his waist went limp with fear: "Brother..."
Although the truth came out in the end, Huangmao was a tomboy and the two girls were new friends.
But a tomboy is not acceptable either. She doesn't go to school at such a young age. The little girl dyes her hair yellow and acts as unruly as Wu Zheng when he was young. She takes the underage Chen Yan to play in the game hall all night long.
Chen Yu frowned and scolded her.
Chen Yan refuted confidently: "The money was given by my mother! My mother said I could spend it freely! And... and my leave was also requested by my mother... She didn't let me go back to school..."
Chen Yu raised his hand.
Chen Yan shrank her neck in fear, but her brother held her head with his big hand and shook it. He leaned in close and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I believe it?"
Chen Yan lied. Her mother did tell her to go back to school. She gave her the money at night when it was inconvenient for her to stay in the hospital. The money was obviously for her to take a bus home and use the rest to buy delicious food.
She pouted in a guilty manner, but her brother didn't embarrass her too much. He just grabbed her wrist and said, "Say goodbye to your friend."
The little yellow-haired boy said goodbye to Chen Yan and watched her leave.
After getting in the car, Chen Yu only asked: "Did your parents tell you where my fiancée's family is?"
"What do you want to do with her? That woman..." Chen Yan's face darkened and he immediately started to complain!
She recounted in detail how his fiancée had married twice, how she had dragged on with the Chen family's engagement and then got engaged to the Gu family, and how she openly said in the hospital that the Chen family was too stingy and gave too little in terms of betrothal gifts, etc. She told him to cancel the engagement immediately!
Chen Yu had never expected this to be the case, but he did ask these questions in order to break off the engagement.
Then I said, "I'll discuss it with my parents when they call me back."
She didn't expect her brother to believe her so easily and agree to cancel the engagement. All Chen Yan's subsequent statements about Shen Rongrong were blocked.
In this case, the silly daughter of the Shen family has no chance of getting in, so there is no need to make any more fuss.
After that, Chen Yu said a few more words to her. Although he gave her the gift, it was stationery that she didn't like at all. He also told her to go back to school immediately.
Chen Yan felt aggrieved, but her brother was even colder and more majestic than her father, which made her afraid and dared not talk back.
It just so happened that the next day was a Saturday, so she could postpone her brother's order to go back to school. She simply ran to the Shen family early in the morning and vented all her anger on the disgusting Shen Yueying, and asked them to return the betrothal gifts as soon as possible!
He was in a good mood afterwards and planned to come back to show off to Shen Rongrong, telling her that the two families had broken off the engagement and her parents were going to take her back... But when he arrived, he saw the Shen family misbehaving, and he couldn't help but confront the Shen family, and by the way, he drove away Shen Rongrong who had brought him a lot of trouble.
At this time, after Chen Yan explained to her brother, she told all the things about Shen Rongrong that she had swallowed back before.
She said that the Shen family did everything they could to avoid paying back the Chen family's betrothal gifts, and sent her here to please her grandmother, swearing that she would marry into the Chen family even if she died...
After listening for a while, Chen Yu not only did not share her hatred for the enemy, but his face became even colder.
He always felt that his fiancée Shen Yueying was charming and materialistic, and not the same type of person as himself. On the contrary, this fake fiancée was fairer, tenderer, and more innocent, which made him obsessed with her.
But I never expected this answer.
It was her he wanted, and it was also her he gave up!
Now it was getting dark, and she ran out alone. Chen Yu stood up and went out to look for her!
Upon seeing this, Chen Yan immediately hugged her brother and complained angrily!
"Brother! Shen Rongrong was engaged to a rich man before, but she didn't want to. She was discovered fooling around at home, so she hit her head against the wall and pretended to be dead and ran out. As a result, she broke her head and ran to our grandmother's house! The rich man thought she was dirty and wanted Shen Yueying instead, so she was pushed by the Shen family to marry you in your name... This bad woman, let her go! It's better for her to die outside..."
As he was talking, there was a sound of accelerator pedal, and Wu Zheng came back on his motorcycle, braked and stopped at the door of Chen's house, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is Shen Rongrong!?"
This inclusion of both name and surname proved that he also knew Rongrong's surname was Shen, and that she was an adopted daughter sent to replace the Shen family because the Shen family was unable to fulfill the marriage contract but did not want to return the betrothal gifts. Now she has been driven away by the Chen family.
"Brother!" Chen Yan hugged him fiercely: "Grandma was always healthy, but she suddenly became so sick after she came! This woman is not auspicious at all!"
It was obvious to the naked eye that Chen Yu's eyes were like knives, and his cheeks were clenched, but he still coaxed: "Don't talk nonsense, let go."
This sister is not a biological child, but because of the friendship between the previous generation of comrades-in-arms, she is spoiled and unreasonable. Even in this situation, her brother can only suppress his temper and let her relax.
Both are adopted daughters, but have two different fates.
But Wu Zheng had no feelings for her and cursed: "You are so lucky! When you come of age, I will come to propose marriage and take you home as a sacrifice, okay?!"
Then he jumped out of the car, pushed her away, grabbed Chen Yu, and said anxiously:
"I asked someone yesterday, and your ex-fiancee was not a good person! She was the one who gave 500 yuan to hire those hooligans to come to your house and cause trouble! Today I heard about your family's situation, and a friend said that he saw that woman gave another young man 200 yuan in the afternoon and asked him to go to Yushu Village to sleep with a woman! I guessed it might be Rongrong! Come with me quickly! Maybe there's still time!"
