Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Extra

Extra.

"Divorce if you want, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Through the thin door panel, the clear sound of quarreling in the bedroom came out. Wu Zhenzhen covered her ears and turned over in annoyance.

She didn't care why her mother and stepfather quarreled, nor did she worry whether this newly formed family would break up.

I heard that Aunt Wang Nian called me a few days ago, but I don’t know if she mentioned me.

There are still a few days left before the final exam, and I should be able to maintain my ranking in the top two in the class.

Wu Zhenzhen had a clear goal in mind: as long as she finished the college entrance examination, she would be able to completely break away from this family.

"Divorce if you want, do you think I care about a hen like you that doesn't lay eggs?"

"Who is the hen that doesn't lay eggs? Zhenzhen is my biological daughter... There's nothing wrong with my stomach, it's you who has the problem!"

"Feng Liang is also my son!"

"Bullshit! Who knows if Feng Liang is your son? He didn't come out of your belly..."

Then there was another sound of something smashing in the house.

Wu Zhenzhen frowned, quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, opened the door in the dark and walked out.

Just a few minutes after she left home, the bedroom door was opened. Duan Hehua walked into the living room angrily and kicked the empty bed hard as if to vent her anger.

Every time she was beaten by Feng Lianshan, Duan Hehua would turn around and take it out on Wu Zhenzhen to prevent her from being discovered by Liu Chaoxian next door, and would choose to hit her in places covered by clothes.

But last month, Uncle Zhang Guiqiang retired, and his family will also leave Changshenggou.

Wu Zhenzhen knew very well in her heart that apart from Brother Hulutou, no one else in this factory would help her.

That night, Wu Zhenzhen curled up in the woods in front of the family building all night, and only went home to pack up and study after Duan Hehua went to work.

It is because of her persistence that she has been able to persevere until now.

Just three months after Duan Hehua and Feng Lianshan had their quarrel, the factory issued another batch of layoff notices.

Feng Lianshan's name is on the list.

That night, Wu Zhenzhen experienced for the first time what it meant to be proud.

No matter how Duan Hehua insulted Feng Lianshan, he didn't dare to talk back. That night, Wu Zhenzhen even got to eat a big chicken drumstick for the first time.

Duan Hehua seemed to suddenly remember at that moment that she had such a biological daughter.

Feng Liang was driven out of the small room, and Wu Zhenzhen moved into a single room. Duan Hehua even changed her bed sheets.

But Wu Zhenzhen did not accept all this with peace of mind.

She had been waiting...waiting for the day when the changes would come.

This change happened soon, and Duan Hehua received a notice of resignation two months later.

This already shaky family finally collapsed completely. Feng Lianshan immediately filed for a divorce, and Duan Hehua turned back into the resentful woman who only knew how to blame all her misfortunes on her daughter.

Wang Nian heard from Huang Qiuhong that after the two divorced, Wu Zhenzhen followed Duan Hehua back to her hometown.

But the truth is not like this.

After Duan Hehua and Feng Lianshan divorced, they said they would take Wu Zhenzhen back to their hometown, but when they actually arrived at the county train station, they completely disappeared.

Duan Hehua abandoned Wu Zhenzhen at the train station.

Wu Zhenzhen slept in the waiting room of the train station for a night. After washing her face in the restroom at dawn, she just sighed.

She knew this day would come, it was just a matter of sooner or later.

Wu Zhenzhen touched the bag inside her underwear and finally felt at ease.

The bag contained the money Liu Chaoxian gave her before he left, as well as the living expenses sent back by Aunt Wang Nian every month. Wu Zhenzhen was reluctant to spend a penny of it, but she didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

That money was more than enough for her to finish middle school and high school. As for living expenses... she had to find a way.

Standing in front of the train station and looking at the people coming and going, Wu Zhenzhen still boarded the car back to Changshenggou.

It was not until a year later that Wang Nian accidentally learned from Huang Qiuhong that Wu Zhenzhen had returned to the factory.

She rented a room in the factory and continued to study in the factory school with Hulutou. She usually grew some vegetables in the uncultivated land.

Although there were often uncles and aunties from the factory who were kind enough to help, life was still very hard.

Hulutou divided the living expenses sent by Wang Nian into two parts.

At that time, Wang Nian was still very weak due to the poisoning and could not withstand the long journey, so he could not return to Changshenggou immediately.

But now that I know the situation, I definitely can't continue to let my two children live frugally.

Shi Xiangming asked someone to go there and directly deliver the three thousand yuan to Wu Zhenzhen.

"Five thousand yuan is your living expenses for this year. When Hulutou comes to Anhuai to go to college, you can come with her..."

This is what Wang Nian said on the phone at the time, and Wu Zhenzhen will remember those words for the rest of her life.

And because she knew that Duan Hehua had abandoned Wu Zhenzhen, Wang Nian would often call her to chat and counsel her.

Time flies.

"Sister Zhenzhen, here's my acceptance letter!"

When Hulutou put the big red acceptance letter that looked like a wedding invitation into Wu Zhenzhen's hand.

They didn't cheer or share their joy. Instead, they looked at each other and cried with tears in their eyes.

She didn't cry when her stepfather harassed her, nor did she cry when her biological mother beat her. But she cried uncontrollably when she received this notice.

"Let's go call Aunt Wang Nian." Wu Zhenzhen wiped away her tears and said to Hulutou.

At that time, the factory's supply and marketing cooperatives could make phone calls, but long-distance calls were still expensive, so usually the two of them would spend fifty cents to wait for Wang Nian to call.

The call was connected and the person on the other end picked up the phone soon after.

"Brother Hulutou, sister Zhenzhen."

Wu Zhenzhen recognized that the person on the other end was Shi Shuwen, whose voice had become very hoarse, and immediately happily shared her joy with him.

"Brother Hulutou, I also received the acceptance letter from Anhuai University."

Unexpectedly, Shi Shuwen was admitted to the same university as Hulutou, but one was in the Department of Mathematics and the other was in the Department of Literature.

"The Department of Literature has the lowest admission score at Anhua University." Hulutou shook his head embarrassedly.

His goal was to get into Anhua University, but he hadn't thought about what department he wanted to study, so when he applied, he specifically chose the department with the lowest score.

In contrast, the mathematics department at Anwar University is one of the best in the country.

But none of that matters now.

"We'll be reunited soon!" Wu Zhenzhen shouted excitedly into the phone receiver.

Three childhood friends, thousands of miles apart, cheered together.

Unfortunately, Wang Nian was not at home that day because she was at the hospital for a health check-up. Shi Shuwen promised to tell her the good news as soon as her mother came back.

"Let's come back in the evening." Hulutou said, and Wu Zhenzhen nodded.

They all wanted to tell Wang Nian the good news in person.

After the college entrance examination, the difficulties surrounding Wu Zhenzhen seemed to have disappeared overnight.

She followed Hulutou onto the train to Anhuai City, and on the train platform she finally fell into the arms of the man she had missed for so long.

Wu Zhenzhen thought back carefully and it seemed that it was from that time that she started to smile more often.

Anhuai was very prosperous, and there were so many fresh foods that she was overwhelmed.

The new home is also very, very good.

It was a very large courtyard.

There is a date tree planted in the middle of the front yard. Every time the tree is in fruit-bearing season, she can pick the ripe and fallen dates on the windowsill.

Aunt Wang Nian and Uncle Shi Xiangming lived in the main house. Shi Shuwen and Hulutou liked quietness, so their rooms were arranged in the west wing with windows facing west.

She lived in the middle of the three rooms in the east wing, with Shi Wan on her left and the noisy Shi Feiying on her right.

Although the courtyard is so large that it takes more than ten minutes to walk around it, it does not seem empty at all because so many people live in it.

Wu Zhenzhen successfully transferred to become Shi Wan's classmate.

Every morning, only Aunt Wang Nian gets up early because she has to open the restaurant door and prepare for business.

Next came Uncle Shi Xiangming and Grandpa Xu. They went to the store to have breakfast and then went to work.

It was almost seven o'clock before Wu Zhenzhen would wake Shi Wan and Shi Feiying up, and after they washed up, they would go to the restaurant together to have breakfast.

No matter how good the business is, we will always leave some breakfast for them.

The two brothers who were supposed to live in the school dormitory only got up at this time. Instead of rushing to the store to eat breakfast, they watered the vegetables in the backyard first.

After finishing the tasks assigned by Aunt Wang Nian, I lazily went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

Wu Zhenzhen cherishes every day very much. When she is in pain, she hopes time can pass faster, but now she hopes her life can go slower.

So she got into the habit of recording happy things.

Gradually, she finished one notebook after another, and she grew from a child with cavities in her mouth to a beautiful and capable career woman.

Her career was flourishing, and she could easily afford to buy a big villa.

But she still lives in Aunt Wang Nian's house.

Because... this is her home.

News about her biological mother would come to Wu Zhenzhen's ears from time to time.

Maybe she remarried and had a daughter, or maybe she had some illness from childbirth.

When Duan Hehua abandoned Wu Zhenzhen at the train station, she had actually been watching from behind as she boarded the bus back to Changshenggou.

Duan Hehua knew everything clearly, including the fact that he later went to Anhuai and lived in Wang Nian's house.

But she didn't realize that blood is thicker than water didn't apply to them.

When Duan Hehua appeared in front of Wu Zhenzhen's company holding her thin daughter, the security guard didn't even let them in through the gate.

"I am your boss's biological mother!"

Duan Hehua yelled at the security guard, saying something harsh that might make the security guard pay for it.

The security captain glanced at the haggard rural woman with a look of disdain on his face.

"Our President Wu's mother is the wife of Academician Shi. If you want to deceive people, you can't even find a decent excuse!"

"I am really her biological mother..."

"Get lost." The security guard pushed Duan Hehua out the door and pointed to the underground garage next to her: "Did you see that? Mr. Wu's mother is in the car."

A brand new white car slowly drove out of the underground garage.

Wu Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, just glanced in the direction of the gate and then looked away, as if she didn't pay any attention to that place at all.

But Duan Hehua was very clear that she had already seen her, but the indifference in her eyes was as if she was looking at a stranger.

And in the passenger seat... Wang Nian was taking a nap with his eyes closed.

The car drove away in a cloud of dust, and the two never met again.
