Chapter 68 Zhizhi, this is my mother
After buying the clothes, Xie Zhizhi asked Zhou Lin to take them back. She took down the items she was selling and went to the newsstand to get her own shelf and stool. At ten o'clock, she set up her stall.
The sun is rising, the temperature is getting warmer, and more people are out and about.
Xie Zhizhi quickly sold out her items; most of the customers were still buying hair.
There are also many velvet butterfly hair clips.
Then there's buying earrings and studs.
However, earrings sold better; perhaps people of this generation are more reserved and introspective.
People prefer bright but understated colors, and dislike anything exaggerated.
Although she only sold for a little over an hour, she still made more than thirty yuan, which made Xie Zhizhi very satisfied.
Around noon, when there were few people on the street, Xie Zhizhi packed up her things, delivered the shelves and benches to the newsstand, and took the bus home.
For the next two days, Xie Zhizhi did nothing but cook with Zhou Lin, work, and sell goods.
That evening, as the two sat down for dinner, Xie Zhizhi wondered if they should buy a television to add some fun to their lives.
Then she remembered, "I haven't seen Battalion Commander Wen for the past two days. Didn't he say he was coming to help with the work?"
Xie Zhizhi didn't actually need Wen Jinzhou's help with the work; it was just that the person she used to see often had suddenly stopped coming to her door, which was a bit strange.
“His sister is sick, and he has been taking care of her these past two days.”
"Oh," Xie Zhizhi said, not wanting to ask any more questions, thinking of Wen Qianqian.
After all, her first impression of Wen Qianqian was not good.
Xie Zhizhi didn't want to ask too much about Wen Qianqian because she was afraid of getting involved with her. But what she feared came true.
When Xie Zhizhi returned home that day, she saw a shocking scene as soon as she arrived at the dormitory building.
A woman with a noble demeanor and beautiful appearance stood opposite Wen Jinzhou and slapped him across the face.
Standing next to the woman was a young man whose features resembled Wen Jinzhou's. He wore rimless glasses and had a more composed demeanor.
These two people are Wen Jinzhou's biological mother, Xu Shanshan, and his biological brother, Wen Jinshu.
Xu Shanshan's raised hand and slapped the two brothers, leaving them stunned.
Since the time the two brothers could remember, Xu Shanshan had always had a cold and aloof personality; she neither liked to laugh nor get angry.
If she doesn't like what she's doing, she'll just walk away, like raising her hand to hit someone...
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wen Jinshu shielded Wen Jinzhou behind him. "Mom..." He looked at Xu Shanshan, who was filled with anger, through his glasses, and a barely perceptible hurt flashed across his dark eyes.
He felt sorry for his brother.
“Even if Jinzhou might not take good care of her, Qianqian is an adult now…” Although the Wen brothers have treated Wen Qianqian like their own sister since she was little, blood ties are sometimes hard to explain.
He will still favor his younger brother.
Before Wen Jinshu could speak, Xu Shanshan's anger met his. "Shut up," Xu Shanshan said, her eyes icy cold. "Your..."
Xu Shanshan stopped speaking when her gaze fell on Xie Zhizhi, who was leaning closer with a bag on her back.
Xie Zhizhi quickly stood up straight. She looked at Wen Jinzhou, wondering whether she should greet him or not.
Wen Jinzhou, with five finger marks on his face, greeted her first, "Zhizhi, you're back?"
Xie Zhizhi nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Battalion Commander Wen..."
She wanted to ask who the two people were, but she felt it wasn't a good idea.
Because Wen Jinzhou showed no anger after being slapped, only hurt, it indicates a very close relationship, therefore...
She decided she should just slip away!
Just as she was about to slip away with her head down, Wen Jinzhou, with five finger marks on his face, introduced her, "Zhizhi, this is my mom!"
"Hello, Auntie!" Xie Zhizhi raised her hand in greeting.
Xu Shanshan didn't say anything, but her expression was a little strange as she looked at her!
It was like bewilderment, like shock, and like...
Her emotions were too complicated for Xie Zhizhi to explain clearly in a short time.
In short, Xu Shanshan ignored her.
Xie Zhizhi: That's rude.
Seeing his mother's expression, Wen Jinzhou understood and quickly introduced his brother, "My older brother, Wen Jinshu!"
"Hello, Brother Wen!" Xie Zhizhi greeted him politely again.
Although Xu Shanshan and Wen Qianqian did not leave a good impression on her, Wen Jinzhou was a very nice person, and Xie Zhizhi still treated the Wen family with the utmost courtesy.
Fortunately, not all members of the Wen family were difficult to get along with. Wen Jinshu gave her a gentle smile and said, "Hello," and then extended his hand to give her a light handshake!
"Your name is Zhizhi?" After letting go of her hand, Wen Jinshu looked at Xie Zhizhi and couldn't help but ask.
Before Xie Zhizhi could nod, Xu Shanshan, who hadn't spoken since seeing Xie Zhizhi, suddenly asked, "Where's Qianqian?"
"Take me to see Qianqian!" She forcefully interrupted Wen Jinshu and Xie Zhizhi's conversation.
Wen Jinshu also looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, my sister is sick, so we came here specifically."
Xie Zhizhi nodded in understanding, "You guys are busy!"
After saying that, he carried his things and walked up to the dormitory building.
Wen Jinshu kept staring at Xie Zhizhi, and Xu Shanshan also stared at Xie Zhizhi's back, their eyes still filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.
No wonder, the letter said that this child... actually looks so much like a member of the Wen family.
Xu Shanshan's body swayed uncontrollably at this moment.
“Mom…” Wen Jinzhou quickly caught her.
Xu Shanshan waved her hand gently to indicate that she was alright.
Xie Zhizhi, who had reached the corner of the stairs, heard a noise behind her and turned around. She met Xu Shanshan's gaze and quickly looked away.
Xu Shanshan also looked away guiltily, "Let's go see Qianqian."
Wen Jinzhou helped her upstairs!
Seeing that Xie Zhizhi had just come upstairs, Xu Shanshan was very resistant, "Go see Qianqian, why are you going upstairs?"
"The military doctor said Qianqian is perfectly fine and came back this morning. She's in my dorm."
Xu Shanshan looked at the stairs in front of her, and just as she took a step, she suddenly cried out "Ouch!" She squatted down and held her ankle.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Wen Jinzhou and Wen Jinshu quickly squatted down to look at her. Xu Shanshan squatted on the ground, rubbed her ankle for a while, and then regained her aloof and cold demeanor as a noblewoman from Beijing. She stood up and said, "I'm fine, I just twisted my ankle."
Wen Jinzhou was a little worried. "Why don't we go to the infirmary to check on him?"
Xu Shanshan coldly refused, "It's nothing, go see Qianqian!"
She deliberately delayed, not wanting to run into Xie Zhizhi again.
When Xie Zhizhi returned home, Zhou Lin had already prepared dinner.
"You're back! Wash your hands and eat!"
The aroma of the food instantly dispelled Xie Zhizhi's fatigue.
Sitting at the table, eating the sweet and sour pork ribs that Zhou Lin had put on her plate, Xie Zhizhi asked, "Guess what I just saw downstairs?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Lin put two more pieces of pork ribs on her plate!
"Slap!" Xie Zhizhi raised her hand and imitated the action, "Battalion Commander Wen's mother just slapped Battalion Commander Wen across the face like that."
