Chapter 276 Both the man and the dog were pitiful.
"Alright, that's enough. I know you're going to see your second aunt. But..."
“Your uncle is a scoundrel. It’s better for you to go to your second aunt’s house. Your second aunt is a good-natured person. If you want to come back on weekends, just stay at her house. You can visit your grandparents whenever you have time.”
She sighed, "Your maternal grandparents have always favored your uncle since he was little. The way things are turning out today is because they spoiled him."
"Don't take on everything yourself. Study hard and do what you want to do in the future."
“When it gets light, I’ll go with you to your second aunt’s house. This house, let alone you, even I feel a bit uncomfortable staying here…”
At this point, Chen Fanglan's voice gradually lowered, and her tone became quite dejected.
She looked up and urged Shen Xuewei to go back to sleep.
"Alright, it's already past midnight, you should go back to sleep. Tomorrow morning, get up early and go to Fuxing Village with you before your grandparents wake up..."
Shen Xuewei nodded gently, "Okay."
She returned to her room, continued tidying up her things, and finally closed her eyes to sleep.
She only slept for a few hours, and when a sliver of light appeared on the horizon, Shen Xuewei's drowsiness vanished instantly.
She quickly dressed, packed all her belongings, and knocked on Chen Fanglan's door.
Chen Fanglan hadn't slept well to begin with, and she woke up quickly when she heard the noise at the door.
She tidied up her things briefly, then opened the door and left with Shen Xuewei.
Without disturbing anyone in their family, the two slowly walked along the road toward Fuxing Village with their luggage.
Shen Xuewei glanced back at the quiet village behind her, her eyes as calm as an ancient well, before quickly turning back.
Chen Fanglan quietly lagged a few steps behind Shen Xuewei, observing the schoolbag behind her, hesitating to speak.
After walking for several minutes, she finally couldn't hold back and asked.
"Weiwei, what else is in your backpack? I'm looking at it, and it looks like something's moving inside."
Shen Xuewei paused for a moment, then quickly regained her composure.
"nothing."
She adopted an attitude of not wanting to say anything. Seeing that she was not very interested, Chen Fanglan, although still somewhat puzzled, did not continue to ask.
The two walked in silence for more than an hour before finally arriving at Fuxing Village.
Chen Fangli was overjoyed to see Shen Xuewei and Chen Fanglan at home early in the morning.
However, upon seeing the suitcase beside her and noticing Shen Xuewei's depressed mood, he quickly realized something was wrong and composed himself.
"Weiwei, what's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Xuewei called out "Second Aunt" softly, then hugged her tightly, feeling a bellyful of grievances that she couldn't express.
Chu De'an angrily dragged Chu Dexi out of the room.
"Mom, you need to control Kang Kang, he actually peed on my bed."
He was taken aback when he saw that Chen Fangli was not alone in the living room.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Dexi broke free from his grasp and ran back to his room to hide.
Chu De'an didn't care about him at the moment. He quickly ran to Shen Xuewei, stared at her face, and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"Sis, have you been bullied? Who is it? I'll get Fatty and the others to help you beat them up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Fangli slapped him on the back.
"You only learn bad things, not good ones. All you do is shout about fighting and killing; do you think you're a gangster?"
After the palm strike, Chu De'an's momentum weakened considerably. He touched his head, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"I just wanted to stand up for my sister, didn't I?"
Chen Fanglan sighed, "You're just a kid, you can't be of much help."
Chen Fangli also shooed him away, "Go, go, go back to your room and watch over your brother. I'm talking to Weiwei and your aunt, so don't bother me."
"Oh," Chu De'an replied reluctantly, and slowly went back into the house.
Seeing that he had returned to the house, Chen Fanglan then told Chen Fangli everything that had happened the night before.
Upon hearing what had happened and learning that Chen Fangqiu had actually pushed Shen Xuewei, she immediately began to touch Shen Xuewei's body.
After hearing Shen Xuewei say that she was alright, he finally felt relieved.
She scolded, "That Qiu is getting worse and worse, always spouting nonsense and making things up. She's useless herself..."
Chen Fanglan yawned, interrupting her.
"Alright, Second Sister, there's no use in you cursing him. He won't lose a single piece of his flesh."
"In short, as long as he's home, and Weiwei comes back on weekends, it's not suitable for her to stay at her parents' place. So, what do you think, would you like Weiwei to stay with you?"
Chen Fangli readily agreed, "Of course I'll stay here."
She gently patted Shen Xuewei's hand, comforting her:
"Weiwei, your second aunt's house is your home. From now on, when you come back for holidays, you can stay here. Your second aunt will always save your room for you; this will always be your home..."
As she spoke, she called out to Chu De'an's room.
"De'an, stop eavesdropping there and come out to take your sister's suitcase to her room."
"Yes, right away."
The half-open door opened, and Chu De'an chuckled, quickly ran over, dragged Shen Xuewei's suitcase, and delivered it to Shen Xuewei's room.
Chen Fangli noticed the bloodshot eyes in Shen Xuewei's eyes and guessed that she hadn't slept well all night.
"Are you still sleepy? Go back to your room and take a nap. You'll feel better when you wake up. Listen to your aunt, go ahead."
Shen Xuewei nodded gently and was about to get up when she remembered something and quickly picked up her schoolbag from the side.
She unzipped the zipper, and a dog's head quickly popped out, leaning against Shen Xuewei and letting out a soft whimper.
Shen Xuewei looked at Chen Fangli with pleading eyes.
"Second Aunt, can we keep Little Yellow as a pet at home?"
Chen Fangqiu's temperament is unpredictable. After the incident with Da Huang, she was worried that if she left Xiao Huang at her maternal grandparents' house, Xiao Huang might also be hurt by her uncle, or something else might happen...
Seeing the pitiful looks in the eyes of both the person and the dog, Chen Fangli readily agreed.
"Okay, we'll keep Xiao Huang at home. He can guard the house and protect the gate from now on."
"Yes!" Shen Xuewei nodded emphatically, finally smiling.
Seeing that her mood had improved, Chen Fangli secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gently urged her to go back to sleep.
Shen Xuewei was indeed quite sleepy. Seeing Xiao Huang jump down from beside her and slowly get used to the house, she finally felt at ease and went to her room to lie down.
Chen Fanglan yawned again and stood up.
"Weiwei's going to sleep, I need to catch up on some sleep too. I'll squeeze in with her for a bit, but don't you guys disturb me! Oh, right..."
She glanced towards the door, remembering a certain annoying person, and said cautiously:
"Then who hasn't come back yet?"
If that person were in the village, she wouldn't stay at her second sister's house; she'd go straight back to the county.
Chen Fangli knew who she was talking about.
"Don't worry, he's not coming back this time. He'll probably be back around Chinese New Year."
Chen Fanglan patted her chest in relief, "That's good, that's good."
He started walking towards the room, but then remembered something and stopped, saying:
"Oh right, Weiwei and I left very early this morning, and my parents don't know yet. Also, I haven't told them that Weiwei won't be living at their house anymore..."
