Chapter 46 Many Years After Reforming
My second maternal grandfather casually tossed aside the bamboo pole he was holding, dusted himself off, and said:
"Brother, judging from his appearance just now, he'll probably come looking for us again. This can't go on."
Several people nearby chimed in, "That's right. There's a saying, 'You can know a person's face but not their heart.' Such a fine young man, yet he's like this, even hitting his wife. He's truly disgraced as a man."
"Stop talking about this. Alan is already married, what's the use of saying this now? We still need to get them divorced as soon as possible and find Alan a good match."
"Alright, if this one's like this, you're already thinking about the next one?"
Grandpa Chen looked tired, but he mustered his strength to thank them.
Seeing that he looked unwell, the others offered each other words of comfort and then went home.
To thank them for helping to drive Xu Zhiyuan away, Grandpa Chen took out a few pieces of cured meat and asked Shen Xuewei to deliver them to the families.
When Shen Xuewei was delivered to the Wu family, she stayed for a while to chat with Wu Yuhong.
Wu Yuhong asked, "Weiwei, do you think your uncle will come again?"
Shen Xuewei retorted, "That's not my aunt's husband."
She doesn't acknowledge this uncle-in-law at all...
As for whether she would return, Shen Xuewei said with certainty:
"He won't come back."
The Chen family showed their rejection of him, and knowing that Chen Fanglan was not at home, they knew she wouldn't be coming again for at least the next period of time.
However, if she wasn't mistaken, he would probably contact Chen Fanglan's friends to find out her exact location.
If they can't find out, they'll probably have to come to the Chen family, or... come to her.
Because of this incident, the Chen family was also worried about letting Shen Xuewei go anywhere alone.
A few days ago, she was able to walk along the road to the Chu family to find her second aunt and cousin, but these days she is not allowed to go out and is kept in the village every day.
They wouldn't let her go out, so Shen Xuewei stopped going.
She opened the notebook she hadn't touched since leaving school for the holidays, sighed resignedly, and picked up her pen to write down the answers.
After finishing her homework, she looked up and found that Chen Taigong had somehow appeared behind her, squinting at the words she had written.
Shen Xuewei called out, "Grandpa."
Old Master Chen felt in his pocket, grabbed a handful of soft corn candies, and handed them to her.
"Do your homework properly, don't be lazy. Look at your handwriting, it's much better than before. You should practice writing more often, okay?"
Shen Xuewei tore open the packaging, took a bite, and smiled, saying, "I understand, Grandpa."
For several days in a row, Xu Zhiyuan did not come to the Chen family again.
The Chen family members, who had been tense, gradually relaxed.
For Yu Chen Xuewei, having a holiday and not having to go to school, and with her aunt determined to get a divorce, overall, this summer vacation was quite happy.
Soon, the day of the first day of school arrived.
After the start of the new school year, Shen Xuewei will be a fifth-grade student. Although she is still a primary school student, it is still something to be happy about for her.
However, her happiness was short-lived. On Friday after school, she and Wu Yuhong were laughing and joking as they were about to leave the school gate when they saw a familiar figure in the distance.
She wasn't surprised, but felt a sense of relief that it had finally come to pass.
She nudged Wu Yuhong's hand and whispered, "Yuhong, I just saw the homeroom teacher is still in the office. Could you go to the office and call the homeroom teacher over? Tell her I was bullied."
Wu Yuhong was about to ask, "Who bullied you..."
Shen Xuewei pouted, "Did you see that guy at the school gate? The one who hit my aunt is here looking for me... Don't look at him, it'll be bad if he targets you. Listen to me, go and call my homeroom teacher right away."
Wu Yuhong quickly lowered her head, slowly released her hand from hers, and said:
"Don't do anything or make him angry. You can't beat him. I'll call the homeroom teacher right away. Wait for me."
She turned around and ran quickly toward the classroom building.
Shen Xuewei slowed her pace, as if she hadn't recognized him, and walked past him like a child.
really……
"Weiwei."
Xu Zhiyuan called out to her again.
She looked up with a puzzled expression. "Uncle, who are you?"
Xu Zhiyuan looked down at her, a slow smile playing on his lips, malice hidden in his eyes, but his tone was gentle and soothing.
"Don't you remember me, Weiwei? I'm your aunt's husband. We've met several times before."
As if suddenly remembering something, Shen Xuewei looked frightened and tried to back away, but Xu Zhiyuan took a big step and stopped her.
She clutched the strap of her schoolbag, her eyes filled with terror.
What brings you here?
Xu Zhiyuan chuckled softly, "Uncle knows Weiwei is a good girl. Uncle won't make things difficult for her. How about this, as long as Weiwei tells me where your aunt is, I'll leave immediately. What do you think?"
Shen Xuewei sneered inwardly, but on the surface, her voice trembled with tears as she shook her head and said, "I don't know where my aunt is, I don't know anything..."
Xu Zhiyuan's expression had become impatient, and the malice in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"You don't know? At such a young age, you've learned nothing but to lie. Tell me, did you persuade your aunt to divorce me?"
"Where did your aunt hide? If you don't tell me, I'll get the principal to expel you so you can never go to school again. I know your school's principal..."
As Shen Xuewei retreated, she carefully observed the school gate.
Upon seeing Teacher Yan and Teacher Lin following behind Wu Yuhong, she pinched herself hard and burst into tears.
"Waaah... I don't want to go without a school to study, I don't know anything..."
The two teachers were initially having some doubts.
The person in front of Shen Xuewei seemed polite and didn't appear to be a bad person.
As a result, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
The man's face gradually contorted into a ferocious expression as he approached, seemingly threatening something, which terrified the child, causing him to burst into tears.
Seeing this, the two men were so angry that their brows furrowed, and they rushed forward.
"Who are you? Who gave you permission to bully our school's students here?"
Shen Xuewei clung to their legs, tears welling in her eyes, and complained, "Teacher, he just said he'd get the principal to expel me and stop me from going to school. I'm so scared..."
Teacher Yan reached out and shoved Xu Zhiyuan, saying, "Such arrogance! You think you can just expel someone like that? Do you think the school is your private property?"
That damn bastard!
This student is well-behaved and good-looking, sensible and polite, and has excellent grades.
They, as teachers, never dared to say a harsh word to a child, but he dared to threaten a child right off the bat. Doesn't he have any shame?
He clenched his fist, intending to smash it into Xu Zhiyuan's face.
Halfway through the fight, he suddenly realized that he had reformed many years ago and was no longer a gangster, so he quickly pulled his fist back.
Looking down at the child's snot and tears, he comforted him, "Don't cry, teacher will teach him a lesson... teacher will take him to the policeman and let the policeman teach him a lesson."
