After Yuan Jie left, Shi Xuejiao carefully thought about what Yuan Jie had just said. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. At the same time, she also had a strong feeling that Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin really cared about them and would definitely not harm them.
This feeling also made her feel a little guilty. She really shouldn't have been so greedy and calculated Yuan Jie and her partner's property. After all, occupying these properties was now unjustifiable. Whether the other party directly revoked the gift or eventually took the case to court, the end result would be nothing.
If he could get some money out of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou, he would feel much more at ease. However, given the stingy nature of those two, this would be extremely difficult.
Shi Xuejiao was somewhat aware that her brain was not enough, so at this time, she should let Sun Xiaohao, who had a good brain, give full play to his intelligence.
I went upstairs and reached the door. Just as I was about to open it, I heard Shi's mother, Li Chunfen, yelling, "You little girl, you dare to snatch things from my good grandson? Are you tired of living? Don't think I won't hit you just because your mother is backing you up. Even your mother doesn't dare to fight with your uncle for things..."
The crying of the child and Li Chunfen's scolding were intertwined. One can imagine how chaotic the scene was. Shi Xuejiao's dormant memory was completely awakened by the scolding.
When I was little, all the family resources went to my younger brother. My two younger brothers could afford several new sets of clothes throughout the year, while I was forced to wear hand-me-downs I'd picked up from other families. While my younger brothers could enjoy the glistening, tender braised pork, I needed my parents' permission to dip even a sip of the broth. From childhood to adulthood, my younger brothers had no chores to do, while I was responsible for almost all household chores, including laundry and cooking. Any disobedience to their wishes could result in a beating.
Even after I got married, every time I went back to my parents' house, it was a mess waiting for me to clean up. Maybe I was used to it, or maybe my parents' good looks made me forget myself, and I didn't even think there was anything wrong with doing these things.
Shi Xuejiao had once resented her parents' deeply ingrained patriarchal ideology, but she hadn't expected them to become so arrogant after a few good years at the Sun family, thinking she had finally gotten her bearings in front of her family. Now, this scolding made her realize clearly that their good looks weren't meant for her at all, but rather she had borrowed the few RMB in her pocket.
She would never let her daughter have the same childhood as herself, nor would she let the two children become alienated or even become enemies because of that damn feudal ideology.
Thinking of this, Shi Xuejiao quickly took out the key and opened the door. At this moment, her daughter was half lying on the ground crying loudly, and her son was playing with his "trophy" in his hand proudly.
She yelled at Li Chunfen, "Mom, what are you doing? The child fell down, and you don't know how to comfort him?"
As she spoke, she quickly walked to her daughter, gently held her in her arms, and patiently and softly comforted her: "Beibei, don't cry, mom is here, tell mom who bullied you, mom will beat him up..."
Beibei felt a great sense of security in her mother's warm embrace. She gradually stopped crying and said with some sobs, "It was my brother. He was bad. He snatched my toys and wouldn't let me play with them. And grandma, you're such a bad person. You beat me..."
After hearing her daughter's answer, Shi Xuejiao asked Li Chunfen knowingly, "Mom, what happened just now? Did you help Chenchen bully Beibei?"
Li Chunfen, however, looked nonchalant and lightly denied it: "She's such a young child, how could I possibly bully her? Listen to her nonsense. She's so young and doesn't learn her lesson, she's just imitating others and telling lies."
Based on her years of experience with abuse, Shi Xuejiao knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. She stopped talking nonsense to Li Chunfen and said, "Mom, wait for my dad to come back soon. You guys pack up and go home tomorrow!"
Li Chunfen's face instantly fell when she heard this. Her home was in an old residential complex in the county town below Qingyang City. The house was over thirty years old, the environment was terrible, and the various living facilities were very incomplete. How could it compare to this high-end residential complex in Qingyang City?
She asked, "Xiao Jiao, what do you mean by that? Your dad and I are here to help you look after the child, and you don't appreciate it? Didn't you just scold the little girl a few times? Are you angry with your mom because of this?"
"As for, why not? I won't mention what you did to me when you were little. Do you think I've forgotten it all?
I feed you like a fool, giving you money to spend. Do you know why? It's not because I'm generous, but because the real money I spend on you can be exchanged for your smiles, so that you will be cautious in front of me, nodding and flattering me, and coaxing me.
Every time this happens, I feel an unprecedented sense of pleasure and satisfaction, as if all those childhood shadows have long since disappeared, and I can finally enjoy the sunshine to my heart's content."
Shi Xuejiao suddenly laughed as she spoke, staring at Li Chunfen with bloodshot eyes: "Hahaha... I'm so stupid. How could I have such an illusion? Tell me, why?"
Li Chunfen was frightened by Shi Xuejiao's appearance. This was the first time she felt fear when facing Shi Xuejiao.
"My dear daughter, let's not say anything angry. Can't I just stop scolding the child in the future? Mom was wrong. If you forgive me this time, I promise there won't be a next time." Li Chunfen and Shi Xuejiao gave in.
According to her understanding of Shi Xuejiao, this trick is very useful to Shi Xuejiao. She has already surrendered obediently, and Shi Xuejiao will definitely give up.
But this time, Shi Xuejiao seemed to be particularly abnormal, and her attitude was unusually firm: "If you don't want to get out tonight, then stop talking nonsense."
After saying that, Shi Xuejiao picked up the two children and went back to the house to coax them to sleep.
After the child fell asleep, Shi Xuejiao tossed and turned in bed. She pulled out her phone and looked at the donations that enthusiastic netizens had privately transferred to her over the past few days. It was now close to 200,000 yuan.
It's such a huge sum of money. Without the support of Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, I don't know how long it will take me to earn so much money. Do I really want to return it?
How excited I was to see the numbers continue to grow, and how sad I am to see them go back now.
After some inner struggle, Shi Xuejiao finally made up her mind to contact the donors one by one and return the donations she had received.
Shi Xuejiao explained that she had already solved the problem of Sun Xiaohao's medical expenses, so the money would not be needed.
Some of the donors accepted the refund, while others refused to accept it. Some even blocked Shi Xuejiao, leaving them with no way to get their money back.
However, these donors all praised Shi Xuejiao's character. This relieved the psychological burden of Shi Xuejiao, who had lost a huge amount of money, and also gave her another kind of psychological satisfaction.
This kind of satisfaction is completely different from the satisfaction bought from her family, and it also opens the door to a new world for her.
She was extremely glad for her decision. She had almost become a stain on the lives of her two children, but fortunately, there was still time.
