Chapter 257 (Final Chapter)
He pushed open the half-closed door and saw Xu Shanshan sitting inside. His beady eyes lit up instantly.
Xu Shanshan still disliked his gaze.
So when Xu Shanshan saw this person, she picked up her suitcase and got up.
Xu Junjun also stood up, "Aren't you going to be here tonight?"
Xu Shanshan shook her head and refused, "Not here, I'll stay at the guesthouse."
"Then you'll eat here?" Xu Junjun asked.
The man's expression darkened when he heard she was leaving. "Have you made dinner?" he asked sharply.
Xu Shanshan shook her head. "I'm not eating anymore. I'm leaving."
Xu Junjun could only see her out.
The two went outside, and Xu Shanshan, seeing that no one was around, asked, "Did Mother leave anything behind when she left?"
Xu Junjun shook her head, then looked at Xu Shanshan with a hint of hurt, "Shanshan, would I possibly keep something to myself?"
Xu Shanshan opened her mouth, and said weakly, "When Mother passed away, were you the only one by her side?"
Xu Junjun shook her head, "My uncle came to help too!"
"I didn't know what to do on my own, so I had to go to him."
Xu Shanshan couldn't say anything after hearing that, since she had been gone for several months. "I'm leaving!"
Xu Junjun followed her for a couple more steps. "Where...where are you staying tonight?"
"Stay at a guesthouse!"
"Staying in guesthouses all the time is expensive. How about you rent a place instead?"
Before Xu Shanshan could even speak after Xu Junjun finished speaking, a roar came from behind her: "Did you die outside?"
The short man stared and poked his head out from the dark house. Xu Junjun glanced back, shuddered, and didn't dare to see Xu Shanshan off anymore. "I...I'm going back."
Xu Shanshan nodded, picked up her small suitcase, and left the alleyway, stepping on the uneven ground.
Xu Shanshan rented a place and barely made ends meet with odd jobs and the savings in her pocket.
She would occasionally visit Xu Junjun, who was pregnant and had become even thinner, practically skin and bones.
Xu Shanshan's eyes hurt from looking at him. "Doesn't he feed you?"
“His salary is low, and the allowance for household expenses is limited,” Xu Junjun said in a low voice.
Xu Shanshan was furious when she heard this, "With someone like him, do you really have to stay with him?"
Xu Junjun immediately shrank her neck, "No... I won't be with him, he... he'll beat me to death."
"He still dares to hit people?"
Xu Junjun didn't say anything, but it was obvious.
Xu Shanshan told Xu Junjun to cause trouble at his workplace, but Xu Junjun didn't dare.
Xu Shanshan caused a scene, and then Xu Junjun was beaten even more severely.
Xu Junjun told Xu Shanshan to stop making a fuss.
Xu Shanshan looked at the bruises on her face and was so angry she had a headache. "Can't you divorce him?"
"Leave……"
"Yes, divorce!"
"If you abort the baby in your belly, can't you live on your own two feet?"
Just then, the streets and alleys began to encourage young people to go to the countryside and build new rural areas.
Xu Shanshan said, "If you hit the child and go to the countryside, do you think he can still chase you down there and beat you again?"
"If you're willing to spend your life with someone like that, then so be it!"
"I have other things to do!"
She didn't give up keeping an eye on Wang Jinghui. With his good looks, Wang Jinghui tricked another young girl, and the two were about to get engaged. Xu Shanshan went to the girl's house and told her, "Wang Jinghui likes men, not women."
The little girl clearly didn't believe it.
Xu Shanshan scoffed, "Don't believe me?"
"If you observe him closely and secretly follow him, you'll eventually discover something."
"Or, you could deliberately get close to him and see if he rejects you or likes you, then you'll know."
A little over a month later, Wang Jinghui's marriage fell through. The girl's family came to his door and beat him up, spreading his story to everyone in the neighborhood.
Xu Shanshan took advantage of the situation and helped him fill out the form for going to the countryside.
Xu Shanshan also had her registration form filled out by Xu Junjun.
Xu Junjun originally stole it for herself, but the man discovered it and almost beat her to death. He then forced her to write Xu Shanshan's name on it.
And so, Xu Shanshan and Wang Jinghui went to the countryside to build a new rural area.
——
Photo studio in Beijing.
"Closer, yes, even closer! The bride's head is resting on the groom's shoulder, hey, yes!"
"Crack!"
"Alright!"
"Take this form; you can come and pick up the photos in ten days."
"There are so many weddings and wedding photos being taken during the Chinese New Year, there's really nothing we can do about it. Please understand, please understand!"
Congratulations on your marriage! May you live a long and happy life together!
"Happy wedding, Wen Changyu!" Wen Yujiao smiled and tilted her head at Wen Changyu beside her, looking at the marriage certificate stamped with a red seal.
Wen Changyu smiled shyly and replied, "Happy wedding, Wen Yujiao!"
Wen Yujiao and Wen Changyu lived a very happy life after their marriage. Both of them were people who had a strong sense of happiness and did not have any particularly great desires.
Contentment brings happiness, and that's why I live a happy life.
The couple had a child at the end of their first year of marriage.
It's a boy. His grandfather named him Wen Jinshu.
Looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes who looked exactly like the one in his previous life, Wen Changyu couldn't help but tear up. His child, his child had returned to his life in such a blissful way.
When Wen Jinshu was three years old, Wen Yujiao gave birth to their second child, a boy, whom they named Jinzhou.
Wen Changyu sat on the edge of the bed, holding the child in one arm and his wife in the other, sincerely thanking her, "Yujiao, thank you!"
Wen Yujiao found it strange, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for bringing them to me!"
Wen Yujiao leaned against him and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. This isn't just your child; it's our child."
"They call me Mom too, don't they?"
Wen Yujiao loves her two children very much, especially Wen Jinzhou.
Because Wen Jinzhou was the youngest and loved to be pampered, he always wanted his mother to hold him, so Wen Yujiao spoiled him a lot.
Of course, she also doted on her eldest son. She always said, "Jinshu is just like his father, very serious."
"Jinzhou is more like me, lively!"
Of course, when Wen Jinzhou chased after her, calling "Mommy, Mommy...", Wen Yujiao would also get a headache. She thought: Calling for Mommy is useless. Mommy is also a human being, not an omnipotent god!
But as soon as she turned her head, she flashed a bright smile and said, "Baby, do you want tiger-head shoes like Tiger's?"
"Okay, Mom will make it for you."
Then Wen Yujiao rushed to her mother's side and said, "Mother, I've never asked you for anything in my life, please make one for your grandson!"
Wei Zhen: "...I don't know how to do this either!"
“You must know someone in the association,” Wen Yujiao said.
Wei Zhen: "??"
"Then someone I know, but you don't?"
Wen Yujiao chuckled, "If I were to go, I'd have to beg someone. If you were to go..." She raised an eyebrow at her mother.
Wei Zhen was so angry that she wanted to smash her to death with a wicker basket.
Then……
"Ugh!" Wen Yujiao is pregnant again.
Will this baby be a boy or a girl?
Wen Yujiao shook her head; how would she know?
Wei Zhen said, "I'd prefer a girl. We already have two boys, and having a daughter would make us have both a son and a daughter."
"So that when I get old, I'll have someone to talk to about my feelings."
"Mother thinks I'm thoughtful, right?" Wen Yujiao leaned her head over and acted coquettishly.
Wei Zhen shoved her head away in disgust, "Get out of here!"
"I must have owed you something in my past life!"
With that, she got up and went out.
Wen Yujiao asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go find someone to make you tiger-head shoes!"
"Then have someone make two pairs," Wen Yu said with a smile, stroking her belly. "There's one more here!"
Wei Zhen said, "I must have owed you something in my past life."
But I still asked someone to make two pairs of tiger-head shoes and two tiger-head hats.
When Wen Jinzhou was five and Wen Jinshu was seven, Wen Changyu and Wen Yujiao's daughter was born. Her formal name was Wen Jinci, and her nickname was Zhizhi.
Thus, the couple had both a son and a daughter, and their lives were filled with joy and happiness.
——
In this life, without Wen Changyu's protection, Xu Shanshan personally experienced those turbulent ten years, and only then did she realize what she had escaped in her previous life.
But there's no going back now; she died the year after Zhizhi was born.
The End!
