Su Xueli went back to her room, told Wei Mingshen, and then went to the station with He Yulan.
As He Yulan got on the bus, Su Xueli took out a wad of cash and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "Yulan, don't refuse, it's from my heart."
He Yulan did not refuse, and waved goodbye to her with tears in her eyes.
Su Xueli watched the car drive away before turning to leave. She could understand how desolate and helpless a girl must feel when she broke ties with her parents and ran away from home.
When she got home, Wei Mingshen looked at her and asked, "Did you see her off and she left?"
"Um."
Wei Mingshen sincerely said, "What a devoted couple! I wish them well and envy them. Their mutual love is so beautiful."
Su Xueli glanced at him, her heart aching: Yes, mutual love is so beautiful, but she had been a devoted admirer her whole life and hadn't received a single bit of warmth in return.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, it's so beautiful!"
Wei Mingshen looked at her leisurely: "You're envious too? I thought you didn't have any emotions or desires."
Su Xueli picked up a straw and threw it at him, saying, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat: Did He Yujie know that Yulan had run away from home today?
Thinking of He Yujie's care for her and his gentle kindness, she felt it was necessary to tell him about what happened today so that he could be at ease.
But today is not the weekend, and He Yujie should be in school. So let's wait until he gets out of school this afternoon.
Wei Mingshen said, "By the way, I went to my second aunt's house last night and told her. She was very happy to hear that and said she would come to see you this weekend."
Su Xueli said, "That's great. It's the weekend, so there's no delivery. I can wait for her at home."
Wei Mingshen frowned and said, "My second aunt hasn't been having a good time lately. Didn't someone introduce her to a potential match? This person is also a teacher, but a retired teacher, and he's more than ten years older than my second aunt."
But this person was a relative of her sister-in-law, so her brother and sister-in-law both urged her to marry this old teacher. She refused, and her sister-in-law even brought up family rules, saying, "Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. You're so old and still living at your parents' house. Our patience has reached its limit. If you don't marry, we won't keep you here anymore."
"Ha, shameless! This is forced marriage!" Su Xueli said, standing up for her second aunt.
She was filled with righteous indignation when she recalled how her second aunt had been exploited by her maternal family in her previous life and died a tragic death.
Wei Mingshen shook his head: "But this is their family matter, and no outsider can say anything. It all depends on whether Second Aunt's will is firm enough."
Su Xueli said, "I have to be firm. I'll cheer her on when she comes over this weekend."
Wei Mingshen looked at her and said, "You seem to care a lot about your second aunt's affairs, as if she were your second aunt."
Su Xueli thought to herself, "You have no idea how touched I was by my second aunt in my past life."
She said, "I get along well with my second aunt."
Wei Mingshen then said, "Sister-in-law Du Mei misses you very much. Should we tell her you're here?"
Su Xueli said, "Next time I go to the market, I'll talk to her there. I'd better not let too many people know I'm here for now. Oh, by the way, I'm going to my aunt's house soon to talk about hiring my cousin to work for us."
Wei Mingshen said, "Then go now."
