Chapter 234 People must always look forward!
On the day Xu Shanshan was buried, Wen Changyu wept bitterly at her grave.
Although he couldn't forgive her for abandoning his own daughter, he also didn't want to see her suffer at the hands of villains at such a young age.
Even Wen Changle sighed deeply upon seeing Xu Shanshan's fate.
"She raised that child, after all, and yet..."
He Yuzhi also sighed, as if no one had expected it to turn out this way.
But when a person dies, the lights go out, and no matter how sad you are, you can't change the fact.
All we can do is let the dead rest in peace.
Wang Qianqian was sentenced quickly.
On the day she carried out the deed, both the Wen family father and son went to see it.
The newly developed weapon was used on Wang Qianqian. Wang Qianqian's head was covered by a black cloth, and she was not killed instantly. She was so scared that she wet her pants, but she couldn't withstand the blow and her body was riddled with holes.
After Xu Shanshan's death, Wen Changyu and the others learned about the bullying Xu Shanshan had experienced while working at the Guobing Hotel.
That state guesthouse closed down soon after.
All the chefs and service staff inside have lost their jobs.
Moreover, no one received their salary for the current month or the previous month.
Of course, Xu Shanshan got hers back.
When Wen Changyu went to pay his respects to her later, he burned some paper money for her, saying, "I got your wages back for you."
The foreman surnamed Zhang later became lame and could no longer work as a foreman. He had difficulty even making a basic living, and his wife ran away with someone else.
——
Zhizhi was born at the end of summer vacation; she is a boy.
Such a joyous occasion somewhat dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts.
People stopped mentioning Xu Shanshan and started focusing all their attention on Zhizhi.
Zhizhi is in postpartum confinement and will no longer be setting up her stall.
Zhou Chan and Wu Caifeng, mother and daughter, were in charge of Zhizhi's stall, while Wen Changle and Wen Changxin, sisters, took care of Zhizhi during her postpartum period.
The two sisters are Zhizhi's biological aunts, and they always put Zhizhi first.
So after a month of confinement, Zhizhi not only didn't gain weight, but actually lost a lot of fat on her stomach.
Her complexion was also quite good.
The child is also chubby.
Zhizhi felt that she didn't have enough breast milk the day before, so Wen Changle brought over some formula the next day.
Mixed feeding results in chubby, adorable babies.
Moreover, during this summer vacation, Su Yue has already helped Zhizhi develop a lot of downlines.
After Zhizhi finished her postpartum confinement, more than a dozen stall owners needed to get their goods from her.
Even small family workshops are struggling.
Zhizhi then discussed with her family that she wanted to open a factory.
Everyone immediately supported it upon hearing this.
The people of Wenchang not only offered their support in action, but also in money, sending tens of thousands of yuan the very next day.
Zhizhi "..."
"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but this is far too much money. I don't need it right now, and besides, I'm not short of money. I'll definitely ask you for it when I do!"
Wen Changle was afraid she would feel embarrassed, so he said, "Don't be so polite with us, we're not just anyone."
Zhizhi nodded repeatedly, "Absolutely, I can't be polite with you, I'm really rich."
"I really made a lot of money this summer, and I'm still making a good amount of money every day now."
Although school has started and Zhou Chan and Su Yue have both gone to school, the downlines they wanted to develop have already been established.
Even if Zhizhi doesn't set up a stall herself, she can still earn several hundred yuan a day just by supplying goods.
So they really don't lack money.
"Just say so if you need anything!"
“Mmm,” Zhizhi nodded.
Starting a factory, choosing a location, and building the factory are not easy tasks. Zhizhi was busy and visited many people through Wen Changyu's connections. The factory was finally set up in the spring of the following year.
By this time, the child was almost a week old, and Wu Caifeng was taking care of him, so he could be left alone completely, allowing Zhizhi to focus on her career.
In order for the factory to get running, Zhizhi put in a tremendous amount of effort. For a period of time after the factory was first established, Zhizhi practically lived and ate at the factory.
After six months of hard work, the factory finally got on track, and Zhizhi was able to finally have a break.
That autumn, Zhou Chan also came to Beijing to pursue a master's degree.
Lin Wenwen also became pregnant that summer, bringing another joyous occasion to the Wen family. By then, the sadness brought by Xu Shanshan's passing had faded considerably.
“The dead are gone, and the living must always look forward,” this is what He Yuzhi often said to Wen Changyu.
She could tell that her son had been severely affected ever since Xu Shanshan's accident.
Although he still goes out to work, his energy level is noticeably different.
This blow is much more severe than when he divorced Xu Shanshan.
She seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. Her once completely black hair had become whiter than that of a woman in her seventies in just six months.
He Yuzhi often sighed, "If you really didn't want to divorce her back then, why didn't you just stay together?"
"Didn't you endure all those years?"
Wen Changyu nestled on the sofa and chuckled softly, "Precisely because I've endured it my whole life, there are some things I simply cannot tolerate."
"I just...I just..." he said, burying his face in his hands.
He grieved over Xu Shanshan's passing and felt guilty, as if he were the one who had harmed her.
If he had realized from the beginning that Xu Shanshan didn't truly love him, or if he had seen from the start that Xu Shanshan was dissatisfied with him, he would have chosen to divorce her.
If Xu Shanshan had broken up with him sooner and chosen Wang Jinghui, gotten closer to him, seen his true colors, and left him sooner, perhaps... perhaps things wouldn't be like this today!
Perhaps, he really was wrong.
His mistake was choosing Xu Shanshan, which ruined Xu Shanshan's life and also ruined his own.
If... if there is a next life, perhaps he would never be so blind again.
Wen Jinzhou was also greatly affected by the Xu Shanshan incident.
Wen Jinzhou is almost thirty and still single.
She often takes her nephew out for walks and is still gentle in nature, but she refuses to get married.
He Yuzhi often complained to Zhizhi, "What mistakes did our family make in our past life?"
"How could this happen..."
“Look at how they’ve all been tortured.”
Zhizhi could only coax her, "Second brother just hasn't met the right person yet. He'll definitely get married when he does."
"Don't pressure him now. Making the wrong choice is worse than not getting married at all!"
As for how terrible it would be to choose the wrong person, Wen Changyu himself is a living example, and He Yuzhi really doesn't want her grandson to make the same mistake again.
Zhizhi sometimes reflects on whether the family would be better off if she hadn't taken the family back in the first place.
Although Xu Shanshan was being difficult, Wen Changyu had already endured it his whole life, so it wasn't like he suddenly couldn't take it anymore.
In this way, Wen Jinzhou will still be the same Wen Jinzhou as before, warm, generous and cheerful.
Although Wen Jinzhou still looks gentle, there always seems to be a layer of sadness in his eyes.
One day, Wen Jinzhou was on leave and came to pick up his nephew to go out for a stroll when he happened to run into Zhizhi, who had suddenly returned.
"Second Brother," Zhizhi called out.
"Zhizhi," Wen Jinzhou greeted her as well.
