Seeing their strange expressions, Shen Yu had a thought and tentatively asked, "Aunt Chen, is there a problem with Jia Rong's work?"
Chen Shuqin sighed softly before telling her, "Jiarong went to the countryside a few years ago after graduating from high school, as required. He only returned home at the beginning of the year and has been doing odd jobs outside ever since."
"Later, his father had an accident, and we were thinking of having him take over the business, but then this unexpected thing happened."
"This silly boy encountered a man trying to bully a girl late at night. Without saying a word, he rushed up and beat the man up badly, crippling his leg."
“That family called the police and refused to let it go. They insisted that our family pay them two thousand yuan in compensation and also give them his father’s job before they would let Jia Rong go.”
Shen Yu frowned slightly. "Where is that girl? Why won't she come forward to testify for Jia Rong? Jia Rong only acted bravely because of her!"
Speaking of this girl, Chen Shuqin became even angrier, her face turning pale, and she started cursing.
"That woman is a shameless slut. When Jiarong saved her and asked her to testify, she actually turned around and accused Jiarong, saying that she and that man were in a relationship and that Jiarong was jealous of them and that's why he attacked her, not because he wanted to save her!"
"There were no other witnesses at the time, and Jiarong was unable to defend himself. Our family could only suffer this loss."
"The compensation money for his father's work-related death, as well as his job, were all extorted by that man's family."
When Chen Shuqin mentioned this, the whole family's faces fell.
Shen Yu asked them softly, "Aunt Chen, didn't you ever suspect anything? Didn't you suspect that it was a setup by that man and woman?"
Chen Shuqin sighed again, "We are all honest people. We never imagined that it was a setup. Jia Rong was sued by that man's family and then arrested by the police. We were so worried."
"The police said that Jia Rong could only be released if his family forgives him and doesn't sue him."
“They want money and a job. We thought that as long as Jiarong is out, we would give him the money. We can earn money again and find another job. As long as he is safe, that’s all that matters.”
“When Jiarong came out, we calmed down and thought about it afterward, and realized that something was wrong.”
"Sure enough, three months later, the man stood up again, and he was not crippled at all. We knew then that we had been tricked."
Shen Yu asked again, "Then why didn't you sue them?"
Chen Shuqin said angrily, "How could we not? We know that the man is not disabled at all, so we went to the police station to report them."
"But after the police investigation, they said that the man was originally going to be disabled, but he was cured because he found a good doctor. They also said that the doctor did indeed spend several thousand yuan on treatment, and told us not to make a fuss anymore, because making a fuss would not get us anywhere."
"We can only suffer in silence about this—we have no choice but to swallow our bitterness."
Seeing Chen Shuqin wiping away tears and Jia Rong looking guilty, Shen Yu quickly comforted them, "Aunt Chen, Jia Rong, now that this matter is over, let's just take it as a lesson learned and be more careful in the future."
"I believe that good people will be rewarded, and those who do bad things will certainly be punished."
As the old saying goes, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet. When the time comes, retribution will surely come!
Shen Yu's words of advice did indeed comfort them.
Chen Shuqin, Ding Jiarong, and the other family members all looked better.
Chen Shuqin smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Oh, let's not talk about these sad things. Xiao Yu, tell me, how have you been these past few years?"
"When I received your letter letting me know you were safe, along with the twenty yuan, I felt a little relieved. I replied to you immediately, but you didn't reply after that. I wondered if you didn't want to contact people here anymore, and I didn't dare to write to bother you again..."
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "When I went to the countryside, my heart was broken by some people here. After letting you know I was safe, I did have the idea of cutting off all contact with this place."
"Later I got married and had three children. Life was pretty good, but I was also unlucky. My children's father passed away in an accident some time ago."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuqin felt a pang of pain in her heart and looked at Shen Yu with pity, asking, "So you're raising three children all by yourself now?"
Seeing everyone looking at her with concern, Shen Yu smiled and replied, "You don't need to worry. Fate is sometimes unpredictable. Just when you think you're about to fall into despair, perhaps God will give you a glimmer of new hope."
"Me too. When my husband died, it felt like the sky had fallen, and I felt like I wouldn't make it through."
"But a turning point came quickly. My biological mother became a tycoon in Hong Kong. When I was in my most difficult time, she sent someone to find me."
Chen Shuqin was also happy for her, "That's great. Back then, there were rumors that your parents had both died on the farm, and we all thought it was true."
Shen Yu replied, "My father was indeed murdered on the farm, and the murderer has now been brought to justice. My mother escaped back then, fleeing to the port city. Many people thought she died at sea while crossing the port. I never expected that my mother would still be alive. It really feels like God has blessed us, leaving us a glimmer of hope and happiness..."
Chen Shuqin said with emotion, "Now that you and your daughter are reunited, it's a relief that your hardships have finally come to an end."
Shen Yu also laughed and said, "Yes, we suffered so much before, but now life is finally getting better."
She then looked at Ding Jiarong, "Jiarong, you don't need to worry. I said before that good people will be rewarded. When I was in trouble, Aunt Chen helped me out. I have always remembered this kindness, which is why I came here today to see you."
“I own several factories in Pengcheng. If Jiarong is willing to go to Pengcheng, he can come with me. I will arrange a job for Jiarong, with room and board included, and a monthly salary of about 100 yuan.”
Chen Shuqin and Ding Jiarong both looked pleasantly surprised.
"Sister Chenyu, is this true? Is there really such a good job?"
"Xiaoyu, won't this put you in a difficult position?"
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "Of course it's true. It's my factory, so naturally I'm in charge. But Jia Rong, you have to work hard there so that you'll have a chance to be promoted to a good supervisor in the future."
Ding Jiarong nodded without hesitation, "Sister Shenyu, I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."
Chen Shuqin was also moved and took Shen Yu's hand, saying repeatedly, "Xiao Yu, thank you so much, thank you so much. You've saved our family from a sea of suffering..."
