Wang Cuixi was at Liu's house. When she saw Liu Jianye and Song Anxin coming back, she looked behind them and asked why Yulin didn't come back with them. Liu Jianye replied that Yulin went straight back to the yard over there.

Wang Cuixi wanted to go back to check, but was stopped by Liu Jianye, who told her that Shi Huixian had come again and was bothering her, and asked her not to disturb Yulin, who would handle the matter.

When Wang Cuixi heard Shi Huixian's name, she paused and sat back in her seat, giving up the thought of going home to see her son.

She is really afraid of Shi Huixian now.

Before, Wang Cuixi heard Yulin say that he and Miss Shi had completely broken up, and that Miss Shi had found someone else and would get married on May Day. In her heart, Wang Cuixi wished Miss Shi good luck and happiness, thinking that they would never see each other again in this life.

Unexpectedly, in the last two months, Shi Huixian suddenly appeared, as if possessed by a ghost. She often came to her house and rushed to help her with this and that, such as cleaning the yard and washing clothes. Wang Cuixi was flattered and confused. Later, Shi Huixian cried to her, saying that the partner her family found for her was not good, and she tried to delay the wedding date, so she did not get married.

Because she missed Xu Yulin so much, she often walked around this street. She wanted to secretly see how Xu's mother was doing, worried that she might have some difficulties at home and need help. But she found that Yulin also came back often. When she asked the neighbors, she found out that Yulin had already returned to Beijing to study in a university.

Shi Huixian was very sad that Yulin returned to the capital without telling her.

Liu Jianye brought his girlfriend home, and the engagement and wedding were celebrated with great fanfare. Relatives came and went, and there was a lot of traffic. Shi Huixian saw it all.

Shi Huixian was so aggrieved that she told Wang Cuixi with tears in her eyes that she had never complained about the small gift. It was her family that was dissatisfied at first. She had always loved Yulin, and Yulin liked her too. She didn't want to marry anyone else, but only wanted to marry Yulin...

Wang Cuixi was at a loss as to what to do with Shi Huixian's crying. She could only comfort her and entertain her politely. However, Shi Huixian came more frequently after that, so Wang Cuixi didn't dare to stay at home. She locked the door and hid in the Liu family's yard. But Shi Huixian was shameless and went directly to the Liu family. Knowing that the Liu family had children, she would bring candies and other snacks next time she came.

That familiar and sticky feeling was so strong that not only Wang Cuixi, but also Han Shufang and Liu Yongsheng could not resist it.

Han Shufang learned that Shi Huixian had come again and said, "If this girl continues to behave like this, I think her marriage will be over. Fortunately, our Yulin saw clearly early on, otherwise if he really married her, with such troubles, he would definitely have a miserable life!"

By dinner time, Liu Jicheng and Xu Yuting also came back. They learned that Shi Huixian was guarding the gate of the courtyard without fear of the cold, and was almost waiting for her husband to leave. Xu Yulin did not want to bring trouble to the Liu family, so she stayed indoors.

Liu Jicheng and Xu Yuting served some food and took it over there for the three brothers to eat together.

The two also discussed how to intimidate Shi Huixian so that she would know how to be afraid and would not dare to come again.

Wang Cuixi heard this and stopped them, saying, "Miss Shi is also a pitiful person. Just ignore her and don't scare her. It's cold, she can't stay for long and will leave soon."

Song Anxin whispered to Liu Jianye, "How about I go talk to that Miss Shi?"

Liu Jianye smiled and said, "Taotao wanted to talk to her before, but she didn't even look at me. If you go, she'll give you the cold shoulder and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"Ah? Forget it, I don't want to make myself uncomfortable."

Song Anxin thought about it and said, "She keeps pestering me like this, maybe because Xu Yulin is still single. How about I introduce someone to Xu Yulin?"

"There's no need to introduce him. You know some party with lots of girls? Ask Yulin to go and let him figure it out on his own."

"Shall we go too? I'm really not used to that kind of occasion. Drinking is fine, but I'm afraid of singing, dancing, and playing music... Last time I went to someone's dance with you, there was someone reciting foreign poetry, but I didn't understand a word of it."

Song Anxin almost burst out laughing: "I don't want you to perform, so you just pretend to understand."

"It's difficult to pretend to be like that. Can you not go?"

"Then take Xu Yulin over there, and then we'll run away and find another place to play?"

"Okay, let's do it. Wife, you are such a smart guy!"

"whee!"

Xu Yuting and Liu Jicheng arrived at the gate of Xu's courtyard, but they did not threaten Shi Huixian. They just pretended she didn't exist. The two of them, wearing cotton coats, looked like two big bears. They pushed Shi Huixian aside and shouted at the door.

Shi Huixian watched the courtyard door, which she had been crying and begging for for a long time but there was no response, suddenly opened. Xu Yulin showed his face but didn't even look at her, as if she was air. Shi Huixian called out "Yulin", but before she could go forward, the courtyard door slammed shut again.

Shi Huixian bit her lip and listened to the voices of her brothers coming from the door and Xu Yulin's clear laughter. She had been crying for so long that her voice was hoarse, but she didn't get any sympathy from him. He was so heartless. If she waited any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to move him even if she froze to death.

Shi Huixian had completely given up hope and walked away with red eyes, looking back every three steps.

She did not return to her own home, as that home could no longer accommodate her. When her whole family saw her, they wanted to grab her and immediately send her to Yang Qing's home and marry her.

Her grandmother, uncle and aunt accepted money and benefits from Yang Qing without her knowledge. At the beginning, Shi Huixian also wanted to use this to force Xu Yulin, to stimulate him to find a way to borrow money to marry her, otherwise she would marry someone else.

But Xu Yulin remained indifferent and even congratulated her and wished her happiness.

She was so angry that she cried on the spot. If she hadn't brought her two female companions with her, she really wanted to stay at Xu's house and not leave.

Looking back now, she made one mistake after another. She regretted listening to her aunt and insisting on a 1,000 yuan dowry. She ignored Xu Yulin for so long, and she regretted not breaking off the engagement with Yang Qing immediately. It was so difficult to break off this marriage now.

But she knew that she could not marry Yang Qing. The Yang family was well off, with their own yard and a big house. Yang Qing had some power as the workshop director, but Yang Qing clearly said that he did not want her to work after marriage because there were three elderly people in the family and four children aged three to ten who needed care.

Those four children were not born to Yang Qing’s ex-wife. It was said that they were children of Yang Qing’s relatives. They had no parents and were adopted by Yang Qing.

If they called Yang Qing dad, wouldn't that mean they should call her mom? Shi Huixian couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling and shivering at the thought of being surrounded by four children and calling them mom.

That's not all. If she married Yang Qing, she would have to leave the factory and give her job to her cousin. Then she would go home to be a housewife, doing laundry, cooking and cleaning the house every day, being pointed at and disciplined by three elderly people, just like her own mother, who would spend her whole life around the stove and being pointed at and disciplined by her grandmother... Such a life was absolutely unacceptable! Shi Huixian went to her eldest aunt's house first. She had to ask her eldest and second aunts to help her get together and borrow a thousand yuan to pay back Yang Qing and resolutely break off the engagement! (End of this chapter)
