When Xingping's wife saw this news, she felt like the sky had fallen. She was still thinking about how to win back Song Shiyu's heart. Now that Song Shiyu had been arrested and couldn't go back to her parents' home, what was she going to do?
She's spent most of the ten thousand yuan she had; how will she survive?
The Li family sat calmly in front of the television watching the news. They were able to remain so calm because no one around them had suffered any losses.
"Tch, all you get is a helpful citizen," said Lao San, the helpful citizen, with great dissatisfaction. Every time he did a good deed, he would get someone else an elephant, while he wouldn't even get an ant's leg.
"Be content. If we hadn't discovered it, our family would probably be in complete chaos right now. How could we be sitting here watching TV in peace?" If Song Shiyu hadn't been so greedy in looking for Feng Chun, their family would be in utter chaos right now. Li Mancang still feels scared when he thinks about it.
"Song Shiyu went in. Did eldest sister get implicated?" the third brother asked the second brother.
The second brother has been keeping an eye on Fenglan lately.
"They should accept the investigation, but she wasn't involved. If she explains herself, there shouldn't be any problem. The eldest sister hasn't contacted Song Shiyu these days; she lives alone," the second brother said, talking about Fenglan's situation these past few days.
The third sister asked, "What does the eldest sister mean? Has she given up on Song Shiyu?"
The second brother's expression was somewhat indescribable as he struggled to speak, "My eldest sister said she's waiting for Song Shiyu to come out, and she'll die with him."
The Li family... they had no words to describe their feelings at that moment.
He clearly hated Song Shiyu to death, but he just wouldn't leave and insisted on staying.
Manman has been very quiet lately. "I'll go talk to my mom tomorrow. I think I can understand her."
Chunni looked completely bewildered. "You understand? How do you understand it? Can you explain it to your aunt?"
Looking out the window, Manman said, "My mom has never received any love in her life. As the eldest child in the family, she has to be sensible, share the burden with her parents, and take care of her younger siblings."
I only met my dad a few times before we got married. Since he's often away from home, we see each other very little. In over ten years of marriage, we've probably spent less than six months together in total. She does everything herself, both at home and outside, and she also has to raise me.
My father is gone. Although she came back, she lived cautiously, afraid of troubling her grandparents and upsetting her uncle and aunt. She had suffered for decades. When a man showed her care, understanding, and comfort, she had someone to confide in, so she treated him wholeheartedly.
She gave him her whole heart, only to receive this result. She couldn't accept it. She wanted this man to keep his promise to her and stay by her side, regardless of whether he truly loved her.
Tears streamed down her cheeks. She felt guilty; she hadn't truly cared for her mother and had always blamed her. No one had ever truly loved her mother, including herself.
Fenglan is the eldest child in her family. The family is large and struggling financially, with all the adults working. The older children raised the younger ones, so naturally, the eldest child had to shoulder more responsibility. She always gave priority to her younger siblings in terms of food, clothing, and other necessities, and she never received any attention herself.
Back then, survival was difficult enough, and with so many children, there was no time to consider their feelings.
Wu Zhiqi and Li Mancang took such good care of the mother and daughter because of these considerations, but there's no need to say these things.
“Go ahead and have a good talk with your mother. If you agree, let her move back into your house, and then transfer the ownership back to her when you have time.” Wu Zhiqi doesn’t stop Manman from getting along with Fenglan however she wants. Manman is all grown up now and has her own ideas. But they can’t bring themselves to treat Li Mancang the way he used to treat their eldest daughter.
"Okay, thank you, Grandma."
