Chapter 133
Although she was not short of money, Jian Li was still very happy.
She excitedly squeezed in between her parents and chattered, but was finally driven away by Wang Mengmei.
"You're not going to school tomorrow? Go back and get some rest!"
She had also met Jian Li's new class teacher. The serious teacher's first reaction when they met was that Jian Li was good in every other way except that she was just the same, forcing her to get into school on time. She also asked her parents if they were busy with their business and therefore did not care enough about the child.
Wang Mengmei was so angry that Jian Li got up on time every morning to exercise when Jian Feng was not at home. Wang Mengmei prepared meals early every morning, but this girl would always dawdle until the last second before going out.
It was as if she had entered school a few minutes earlier, as if some monster in the school was going to eat her.
Only after Jian Li was sent away did the couple have time to lie on the bed and chat.
"This girl, it's not like she has no place to live, why does she like houses so much?"
Just the thought of putting the house in her name made her so happy.
Jian Feng turned over and said, "Who knows? I think Xiaoli is not like other children. She is so old now, but her mind is elsewhere."
Don't be particular about food or clothing.
High schools are the hardest hit by competition, especially schools like the Provincial Experimental School. When Jian Feng picks up his daughter, he can see the parents' cars at the school gate.
It’s an expensive car, and when children sit in it, they always hold their chests high and their heads up.
But Jian Li just didn't care. She was happy riding a bicycle, she was happy riding a motorcycle, and she was also happy that Jian Feng was picking her up in a van.
Wang Mengmei opened a shop near the school, and Jian Li always brought her classmates back to eat. She never insisted on treating anyone, she always paid for it, and every time she gave her classmates a drink at most, which was her preferential treatment for them.
Wang Mengmei couldn't help but complain: "This girl, she said she has grown up, but it seems like she is missing something in her brain."
In some things, she acted like an adult, but sometimes she was silly. She read comics until midnight, and when Wang Mengmei found out, she quickly hid the books under the bed. Sometimes she chased Wang Mengmei to talk, and stepped on her shoes. Sometimes she fought with a dog, and then came in to pretend crying.
Every time Wang Mengmei saw her twisted into a knot on her body, she would say nothing but just keep calling her “Mom Mom Mom Mom” which gave her a headache.
Could it be that this girl would still call her mother like this when she is in her thirties or forties?
Jian Feng stopped talking.
Wang Mengmei waited for a while, thinking that he was asleep, but when she turned around, she saw that Jian Feng's eyes were wide open, and he was not sleepy at all.
"…What are you thinking about!?"
It scared her.
Jian Feng: "I just think that we should prepare more things for Xiaoli. We need to buy a few more houses and a car."
His daughter is so nice.
No one is worthy of his daughter.
What he feared most was that his daughter would be cheated away.
Wang Mengmei: "...You are totally redundant."
Given the way Jian Feng is used to being a child, even if Jian Li is blind, she wouldn't look down on those young boys, okay?
What Wang Mengmei was more worried about was that Jian Li would use Jian Feng's standards to look for a partner.
Jian Feng: "You are wrong. If you look for someone like me, it will only be basic. He must be better than me."
Wang Mengmei was too lazy to argue with him, so she covered herself with the quilt and said, "Go to sleep!"
Where did this stupid father come from? He is just imagining things without knowing anything. This is not the first time.
Wang Mengmei squinted her eyes and tried to get sleepy, but before she could finish, Jian Feng patted her on the back.
"What?"
Jian Feng paused: "This time when I went to Xinjiang, I met a person..."
"It's Sun Yan."
It had been so long that Wang Mengmei even carefully recalled who Sun Yan was in her mind.
When she realized the problem, she turned over and sat up, not caring about the quilt that had just been warmed up.
"It's her?!"
"Why did she go there?"
Jian Feng put his arms around his wife's shoulders and tucked her back into the quilt.
"Look at you, you're so anxious again. I'm just telling you slowly."
Wang Mengmei couldn't hold back her anger, but she was afraid of waking up her daughter, so she could only lower her voice and ask, "What is she doing there?"
Sun Yan has not been heard from since she left Xu Yanan. Although some people say they have seen her in the south, there is no evidence. It has been nearly two years since Xu Jianguo died.
Xu Jianguo's eldest brother never visited Xu Yanan again, but some old neighbors in the compound still went to give Xu Yanan gifts from time to time.
Jian Feng himself did not go, as he still remembered what his daughter had said, that Xu Yanan had a strong sense of self-esteem. Jian Feng only asked someone to send some sauce made by Wang Mengmei to Xu Yanan before the Chinese New Year last year, and hid a few hundred yuan in the box.
Wang Mengmei also asked some old neighbors and learned that Xu Yanan was doing well in the school. She had good grades to begin with, and she stood out even more after going to the school. The school also knew about her situation, and the teachers usually took good care of her.
Xu Yanan no longer collects waste, but usually serves meals to people in the school cafeteria, which saves money on meals. The school's annual rewards for first place winners have also been changed from some impractical tea cups to bedding and boots.
Just to take care of Xu Yanan.
Xu Yanan certainly lived up to everyone's expectations. In addition to studying, she would also audit other majors. At the end of the semester, among the ordinary grades, Xu Yanan was able to get full marks every time.
Xu Yanan tried to show off, and people who knew the inside story hated Sun Yan even more.
Wang Mengmei chased Jian Feng and asked him how Sun Yan was doing over there. Jian Feng replied, "That's it."
Not good nor bad.
After the cotton spinning factory closed down, some people who couldn't find a job went to Xinjiang. There were a lot of vacant land there, and it was easy to rent land or do odd jobs for others. Gradually, the people who went there gathered together, and a group of people in a foreign land could take care of each other.
Jian Feng went there and of course had dinner with a few people he knew.
This is how the news about Sun Yan came to me.
The fellow villager took Jian Feng to the town, where he happened to see Sun Yan setting up a stall to sell vegetables.
Without Xu Jianguo, Sun Yan's life was actually better.
Perhaps because she no longer relies on men, Sun Yan works efficiently. Her business is neither good nor bad, but she has no problem taking care of her own expenses.
The fellow villager took Jian Feng to look at her behind her back for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "In fact, she came here half a year ago. Among the people who came here, someone recognized her and even asked how Xu Yanan was doing now."
Jian Feng became alert: "What is she going to do?"
The child finally had a peaceful life, but now his mother is struggling to find the answers. How can the child live?
Fellow villager: "Who said it wasn't? She asked, and we didn't dare to say anything. But Sun Yan herself knew that what she did was wrong, and she swore and said that she would not count on Xu Yanan in this life. Anyway, she was lost, and even if she died and had no place to be buried, she would never go back to look for her daughter. Dead or alive, she would have nothing to do with Xu Yanan."
The fact that she abandoned Xu Yanan was not right in itself, not to mention that she sold the house when she left, leaving no money for Xu Yanan. Even if it was the grace of giving birth and raising a child, what was the difference between abandoning the child alone and letting the child live a miserable life?
Sun Yan had already said so much, so naturally someone told her about Xu Yanan's situation.
After listening to this, Sun Yan murmured a few words: "That's good."
Then he turned around and walked away, holding the child.
"Later, she took a stall here."
Jian Feng looked at Sun Yan from afar as she was weighing and counting money for someone, not knowing what to say.
His fellow villager advised him, "It's fine now. Sun Yan can live a good life and won't bother the child. Even if she catches you, whether she has money or not is another matter. The main thing is that it will torment the child."
Sun Yan has certainly committed the crime of abandonment, but if she is really taken back, how will she treat Xu Yanan?
Jian Feng set his sights on Sun Yan's child.
Even though this little boy had been wandering around with his mother, his clothes were always clean. Sun Yan raised him to be plump and fair. So much time has passed, and the originally young child is now five years old. He would run around with other children in the market. When Sun Yan saw him, a smile would appear on her face.
The fellow villager was also helpless: "I thought this woman was a worthless person before, and she would rather throw away her own daughter than let her. Now I see that she has taken great care in raising this child."
Before, everyone thought she would abandon the younger one as well. After all, life is not easy for a single woman with a child.
Even now, Sun Yan is just making ends meet with her child.
Sun Yan's maternal love for her son makes her seem even colder to Xu Yanan.
Jian Feng remained silent, and did not say a word to Sun Yan until he left.
After hearing this, Wang Mengmei didn't know what to say.
"It all comes down to the lack of mother-daughter bond." Jian Feng said.
In this case, I hope Sun Yan will keep her word and stop looking for my daughter in the future!
*****
After the incident with Sun Yan, Jian Feng's business was booming.
On the opening day, many people came to send flower baskets. Lin Hui looked at the flower baskets with deep emotion.
Kong Guorong's business is getting worse and worse because of their previous marriage, which inevitably led to overlapping interpersonal relationships. Some of the wives of Kong Guorong's clients are customers of Lin Hui's beauty salon.
So inevitably, some of Kong Guorong's situations reached Lin Hui's ears.
The relative of that woman Kong Guorong did not do a good job in the store, so Kong Guorong had to deal with it himself. Later, in order to fire the other party, he struggled for a long time. The woman named Wu Yuxia wanted to have an abortion, and later Kong Guorong was really annoyed. She was too aggrieved to say anything. In recent months, Kong Guorong couldn't find a suitable person, and finally asked a few nephews at home to come...
Lin Hui shook her head. If Kong Guorong's nephews were really capable, she would have brought them here long ago without Kong Guorong saying anything.
In the final analysis, it’s because those guys couldn’t lift it.
Kong Guorong is now desperate and is trying every possible means. He doesn't know whether he will be able to return to the village to celebrate the New Year in glory like last year.
Lin Hui thought, no matter whether he wanted to return to the village in glory or not, this year, she, Lin Hui, would return to the village in glory to celebrate the New Year.
It was only December, and Lin Hui had nothing to do so she called Wang Mengmei to go shopping for clothes together.
Who says only men are allowed to return home with glory?
She, Lin Hui, is going to act like a female boss this time when she returns to her hometown!
Lin Hui gave Jian Feng a thousand yuan as a donation to his newly established company.
This gift was very valuable, and Lin Hui also gave Jian Feng a list when he opened his business.
"I plan to give some New Year gifts to the customers of the beauty salon. The price is negotiable."
Kong Guorong is a thing of the past, but Jian Feng's new company seems to be thriving.
Lin Hui looked at Jian Feng and his wife again. They were no longer just friends or subordinates, but serious partners.
"The budget is within 100 yuan, and the gift box should be made more beautiful."
