Xiao Shuangning hugged Shumei's thighs tightly, as if she was afraid that Shumei would run away.
Shumei looked at Xiao Shuangning, whose eyes were full of desire, and her already upset heart became even more uncomfortable.
This time, she said she would never abandon her daughter, and would never escape again. She would face life and love bravely and strive to move forward.
She gently stroked Shuangning's face and said with a smile, "Ningning, be good. This time, mom will never leave you again."
During this period, Li Yushu also secretly asked about Xiaomei's situation.
When Li Yushu heard the news of Xiaomei's death, his eyes turned pale with fear and he stopped in his tracks. After a moment, he caught up with Wencai, grabbed his arm, and told him to take him back to the city.
Wencai looked at Li Yushu in confusion.
Wasn't he saying yesterday that this place was beautiful, a paradise, and he wanted to spend the rest of his life here? How could he have taken such a 360-degree turn overnight?
"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and go." Li Yushu saw Wencai standing there in a daze, so he grabbed his arm and dragged him out.
"Dad, there's no need to be so anxious even if we leave, right?"
"If you don't leave, what are you staying here for? You and I can't afford such a life." Li Yushu's attitude was firm.
"This - this -" Wencai looked at Shumei helplessly, looking at a loss.
After hearing what Li Yushu said, Shumei looked embarrassed and forced a smile on her face.
Li Yushu seemed to understand Wencai's intentions. He guessed that Wencai wanted Shumei to return to the city with him. He thought that since the misunderstanding was resolved, he could still use such a good nanny.
"Shumei, why don't you come with us?" Li Yushu said to Shumei.
Shumei glanced at Xiao Shuangning beside her, gritted her teeth and made up her mind - she would not leave.
"Uncle Li, Wencai, I'm sorry. The child really needs me. And Boyi, he's been waiting for me for so many years, I must give him an explanation. And my father has been ill for a long time, I have to take him to the hospital for treatment. Wencai, the money I owe you - I'm afraid I can't pay it back for a while, but don't worry..."
Shumei told Wencai and Li Yushu about the complicated situation of her family. She planned to stay in the village, get married to Boyi, take care of her husband and children at home, farm and raise pigs, and take care of Zhang Binglin and others. After all, the two old people are already very old.
Wencai could naturally understand Shumei, and before Shumei could finish her words, he interrupted her forcibly.
"I told you I won't let you pay back the money. If you insist on paying it back, how about you promise me a lifetime? If not, then it's best if we just say goodbye and owe each other nothing."
Wencai could feel that he still had feelings for Shumei, and every little detail of the past came to his mind.
Those things are so ordinary, but they still make Wencai feel happy and relaxed, instead of feeling depressed when he is with Qingke.
His heart told him that he liked Shumei, but when they were about to part, he realized how reluctant he was to let her go.
But there is a saying that goes, you don’t have to own someone you like. Maybe if you can see her happy, you will feel the same way and feel happy and joyful.
Shumei looked at Wencai's affectionate eyes and listened to his cryptic words, her heart was in turmoil.
She turned her eyes away from Wencai, not daring to look at him any longer. Since she had decided to give Boyi an explanation, she couldn't let her mind wander, especially since Boyi was the one she had always been thinking about.
“This—this—”
She hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Shumei, if you want to be happy, I will always be here waiting for you. But I hope that you will never look back. I just want to watch you being happy from afar."
Wencai indirectly expressed his feelings to Shumei, but he also told her that he had no requests and only hoped that Shumei could be happy.
Wencai also felt that his feelings for Shumei were a bit abrupt, but he was indeed moved and he could not deceive himself.
"Wencai - I - I'm sorry!" Shumei didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment, nor did she know how to respond to Wencai. Apart from saying sorry, she couldn't find a more appropriate word.
After all, Wencai had truly devoted himself to her, no matter what other emotions were involved. She only thought of one thing: she truly owed Wencai. But she was afraid she would never be able to repay him in this lifetime; this was truly more than just a debt of money.
Wencai, if there is an afterlife, how about I promise you one?
"Okay! If you have any difficulties, remember to come to me. We'll be leaving now."
After Wencai finished speaking, he and Li Yushu walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard reluctantly.
At this time, Wu Jucai, who had just delivered the message to Zhang Xiaoqin, came out of the room. Seeing Li Yushu and Wencai leaving, he quickly called out, "Brother, where are you going?"
Li Yushu turned around as he walked and responded politely, "Sorry to bother you, old sister. We will go back now. Remember to come to the city to play when you have time."
Wu Ju glanced back at the steaming porridge on the table. "Breakfast is ready. Let's eat something before we leave."
Before Wu Ju finished speaking, Li Yushu and Wencai had disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Shumei seemed to have come back to her senses. "Mother, please help keep an eye on Ningning. I'll go see them off."
"No, you mean you're not going back to the city with me?"
"No, I'll stay at home to take care of Ningning, you and Dad."
"How can this be possible? If everyone stays at home, what will this whole family eat and drink?" Wu Ju became anxious when she heard this.
