Now that Wencai said this, Shumei finally understood. It turned out that he had always thought that Shumei was the daughter-in-law chosen by his mother, but he had found another lover. He felt guilty and felt that he had let Shumei down, so he wanted to compensate her in this way.
She could empathize with Wencai and knew how conflicted he must be feeling at the moment.
"Now that you know you were wrong, why did you come to me before you fell in love with someone else?"
"Because I don't think we are suitable for each other. That's just my mother's wishful thinking."
Wencai was honest. He had indeed thought so at the time and had not gone to see Shumei at all. He felt sorry for his mother, but he also didn't want to pay for his mistake with a lifetime of love out of guilt. Besides, he knew Shumei already had someone she liked, and he didn't want to force them to break up.
It was by chance that Wencai, on his way back to town to pay respects to his old aunt, saw Shumei and Boyi being affectionate by the river. From then on, he completely forgot about his old aunt's last wish and started his new love life.
"That's all, why bother with this? The old lady just wants to find someone who can treat you well. It doesn't matter who it is. As long as you are happy, it won't go against her wishes."
Shumei's words made Wencai suddenly enlightened. He didn't expect that the knot in his heart that had been stuck in his heart could be cleared up by Shumei in just a few words.
"Thank you, Shumei. Listening to your words is better than reading a thousand books! It's really refreshing."
Wencai's frown suddenly relaxed and he burst into laughter.
"So you won't stop me from being your nanny, will you?"
After talking it out, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, not as heavy as before.
"Of course not. The door of my Li Wencai home is always open to you, and I welcome your visit anytime."
The tone of their conversation also became much lighter.
When Wencai spoke to Shumei, he didn't need to pretend to be serious or arrogant. In front of Shumei, he didn't need to maintain the dignity he should have. He could open his heart and talk freely, and live as he pleased.
In front of his employees, he must have the authority he deserves and be extremely careful in what he says and does. In front of Qingke and her parents, he must also behave like a successful person and follow the rules.
That's why Wencai was so reluctant to leave Shumei, the only person who could make him feel less tense.
He can speak freely without any disguise and can be himself.
"That's good. Then, Boss Li, how much do you plan to pay your nanny? Otherwise, let's stick with the amount Sister Meng gave us before."
Wencai felt at ease in Shumei's presence, but it was not the same for Shumei.
Her happiness was forcibly taken away by the disease. Even if she survived, she would only be able to survive. She could not let go and pursue the love she wanted. The only thing she could do now was to repay Wencai's debt of gratitude and contribute to her daughter's livelihood.
As for her daughter, whose life or death was uncertain, she had done her best. If God really did not allow them to continue their mother-daughter relationship, she could only accept her fate. She had been searching everywhere because she was dying and wanted to see her daughter one last time.
But now, I look like a ghost, half-human. If my daughter saw me, it would not help her at all, but might even be a burden to her. No matter where my daughter is, at least she should not have a sickly mother now.
Shuangning had already suffered a lot with her, so there was no reason for her to drag another daughter into this pit. Shumei held on to the fantasy that her daughter was now living a happy life, to give up the idea of looking for her daughter.
Her life was already in tatters, and apart from the deep-seated desire in her heart, she had no excuse to continue searching for a needle in a haystack. Her only spiritual support now was to cherish the person in front of her and make Shuangning's life better.
She was just pretending to be talking and laughing in front of Wencai. She just didn't want her unhappiness to affect Wencai.
No one else would be truly happy. It wasn't just the physical loss; her heart was scarred as well. Shumei didn't know how long it would take to heal, or how long it would take to muster the courage to stand before Boyi, the man she longed for.
She didn't understand how much debt she had incurred in her past life. Was she really here to repay her debts in this life? It felt like she had really let down the heavens, the earth, and everyone who had anything to do with her, especially Boyi.
