She was like a lone bird adrift in the world, but she had a home back when the Shu family still existed.
Things have changed drastically, and she has no choice but to take her child and leave for a distant place.
Sister Zhang waved to her: "Go away, this is not a good place, don't come back again."
Shu Ying took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back.
On the way back, I happened to pass by the Shu family's old house, and in just one day, the door was already sealed off.
She can't go back in now; the place she grew up in has become just an object.
"Mom and Dad, the Shu family has declined in my hands. It's all because your daughter is useless."
She sighed, turned to leave, and caught a glimpse of a furtive figure loitering nearby.
Shu Ying hesitated and stopped in her tracks. She found the century-old ginkgo tree opposite the Shu family's house and hid behind it. Soon, a man's figure appeared in front of the door.
He stared at the seal for a long time, then scratched his head in frustration.
Shu Ying recognized this person; he was Cheng Shaoyuan, a suitor of Shu Yan.
Although it's unclear how the two met, it's clear that Cheng Shaoyuan followed Shu Yan around and caused a lot of trouble for Shu Ying back then.
Shu Ying's eyes lit up, and an idea came to her. A slow smile crept onto her lips.
When she moved out of the house, she also took the imitation jade that her grandfather had deliberately left behind as a cover.
Shu Ying went around to the flower bushes behind the house, picked out a few pieces of fake jade from her spatial storage, and dug a deep pit to bury them in the soil.
"I originally just wanted to keep them as a souvenir, but Grandpa bought you back for a reason. You must not disappoint me."
Shu Ying quickly put the soil back in place, and then saw the street auntie in charge of the flower bed come out with a bottle of sewage and urine to water the flowers before she left satisfied.
Cheng Shaoyuan searched around for a long time, keeping his head down and back bent all day, his muscles aching all over, until it was already dark before he finally made a discovery.
Looking at the jade stones that had been dug into a pit nearly a meter deep, Cheng Shaoyuan's mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.
He glanced around warily to make sure no one was there before returning home with great enthusiasm.
After waiting all day, there was finally some movement today, and Shu Yan practically jumped out of bed.
She hurried to the outer room, opened the door but didn't see anyone, and was hit by an indescribable stench.
She made no attempt to hide the disgust in her eyes, and with one hand on the wall, she turned her head away and began to dry heave.
"Cheng Shaoyuan, what exactly are you up to? I asked you to go out and get me some letters of introduction, and what did you bring back? You've been gone for half a day, and you've just fallen into a cesspool?"
Her voice was shrill, and she kept fanning the air in front of her with one hand, trying to blow away the unpleasant smell.
However, Cheng Shaoyuan had been immersed in the flowers for too long, and all the natural organic fertilizer had seeped into every fiber of his clothes, lingering there.
Cheng Shaoyuan couldn't wait to close the door. The small room, which wasn't very well ventilated to begin with, was filled with a pungent smell that made people's eyes water.
Shu Yan couldn't help but vomit again.
Cheng Shaoyuan patted her back with one hand and proudly took out the treasure he had found.
"Xiao Yan, look, this is what I found after searching for a long time in the Shu family, following your instructions. These jade stones are of such high quality that they can definitely fetch a high price."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but lean against the wall and dry heave. The two of them hugged a trash can and vomited until they were almost dizzy, even throwing up their leftovers from the night before. Their mouths tasted terribly bitter.
