Chapter 282 Shen Yunyi feels guilty
"What……"
Shen Yunyi's face turned pale in an instant, as if all the blood color had been drained away at this moment.
"Chen Wan has slept in a pigsty?"
His voice trembled unconsciously, an expression of disbelief froze on his face, his eyes widened with shock.
The old lady nodded and talked about Shen Wan's miserable past: "Yes, my family lived across the street. I often saw Shen Dazhuang beating Shen Wan to death and throwing her into the pigsty. Sometimes I could hear Shen Wan crying in the middle of the night."
Every word the old lady spoke was like a sharp blade, stabbing into Shen Yunyi's heart.
He clearly felt the hole in his heart getting bigger, as if it was being torn by an invisible pair of hands, getting bigger and bigger...
The pigsty is so dirty... so smelly...
She slept there for who knows how many nights.
Shen Yunyi's mind unconsciously emerged the weak and helpless figure of Shen Wan, curled up in the cold and smelly pigsty.
Her face was covered with tears and her body was full of pain, so he couldn't bear to think about it any further.
Shen Yunyi suddenly turned his back.
The old lady was still chattering on about the atrocities that Shen Dazhuang had committed against Shen Wan.
Shen Yunyi couldn't stand it anymore and told the old lady to shut up.
Seeing that he looked very unhappy, the old lady shut up obediently.
Shen Yunyi stood in front of the pigpen, trying to calm himself, but the guilt and heartache surging in his heart overwhelmed him all at once.
Thinking of the call he heard from Shen Qianxue before he went out.
Shen Yunyi's eyes became much colder.
“Qianxue, you have always known that Chen Wan is not that kind of person, why did you join forces with Liu Meifang to deceive your family…”
"Haven't we spoiled you enough over the years?"
"The four of us brothers gave you all the love that should have been given to Shen Wan. Even when Shen Wan returned to the Shen family, we never felt sorry for her for a single day and we still treated you well."
Shen Yunyi murmured to himself, unable to understand why Shen Qianxue was like this.
If he had known from the beginning that his own sister was living such a miserable life, he would never have treated Chen Wan like that.
Only then did he understand why Shen Wan was so timid when he came home. He was trembling with fear in everything he did, for fear of being kicked out.
He always thought she was pretending.
It turns out that it is not...
She had been through seventeen years of hell and finally touched a ray of light. She was desperately trying to keep that light...
Shen Yunyi sat on a broken chair in the yard, his mind full of thoughts, and he didn't even know when the old lady left.
He only knew that what his elder brother said was verified in his case.
He regretted it.
I regret having such a bad attitude towards Shen Wan.
He also understood why his elder brother was in so much pain and why he said that he would be just as painful when the day came when he regretted it.
Shen Yunyi thought about the past two months when every time he saw Shen Wan he would curse at her, and he couldn't help but slap himself a few times in annoyance.
His cheeks were swollen and red, and the guilt in his heart surged like a tide.
No wonder Chen Wan seemed like a different person the day he left home.
If it were him, he would change too.
Anyone would be disheartened if faced with family members who look down on them and never value them.
Chen Wan must be extremely disappointed with their four brothers.
Shen Yunyi felt upset and called Shen Changfeng several times before he got through.
"What?" Shen Changfeng's tone was very bad.
Shen Yunyi suppressed his tears and said, "Brother, I'm in Niutougou..."
Shen Changfeng on the other end was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Now that you've seen the facts, what do you think?"
Shen Yunyi: "I would rather remain ignorant like an idiot..."
It hurts, it hurts so much!
"You're really hopeless!" Shen Changfeng was about to scold him.
But then I heard my second brother crying.
"I really didn't expect that my sister had lived a hellish life for seventeen years... Wuuwuwu... Brother, did you know that when Chen Wan was a child, she didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and she had to work every day... Did you know that she was driven to sleep in the pigpen by that beast Shen Dazhuang... Did you know that she was almost sold to an old bachelor in the village by Shen Dazhuang..."
Shen Yunyi became more and more frustrated as he spoke, "I've only seen these things on TV before, but I didn't expect them to happen in reality... and the person who experienced all this turned out to be our own sister..."
Shen Changfeng listened to him in silence.
"Brother, what should I do? How should I face Shen Wan in the future? She must hate me to death."
Shen Yunyi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he cried until he could no longer speak.
Shen Changfeng was silent for a long time before he said, "So I've been telling you that we owe Xiao Wu too much. She had a really hard time in those years. Second brother, do my best, do your best, don't go against Xiao Wu anymore, and don't scold her arrogantly anymore."
Shen Yunyi cried, "Brother, I understand. Compared to what she went through, my experiences are nothing."
At least he had never been hungry, never been cold, never been forced to sleep in the pigsty, never been beaten by his adoptive father, and never experienced these hardships day after day for seventeen years.
He couldn't imagine how Shen Wan persisted until the day when his grandfather found her.
"Second brother, I'm a little curious about how you thought of going to Niutougou?" Shen Changfeng asked.
It was obvious that the second brother was still cursing and swearing at Chen Wan before he left.
I turned around and went to Niutougou, and I regretted it all of a sudden. What kind of thing is this?
Shen Yunyi was silent for a moment, and then told the story of Shen Qianxue's conversation with the private detective.
Shen Changfeng said in a deep voice: “Perhaps, Shen Qianxue is not as weak and kind as we look. Don’t forget that she and Liu Meifang worked together to deceive our entire family.”
Shen Yunyi was very disappointed with Shen Qianxue, but he still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart, "Brother, do you think she did this just because she didn't want Shen Wan to take away her identity and brother's favor?"
"That's definitely true, but we've spoiled her for eighteen years and given her a life of luxury for eighteen years. Isn't that enough?" Shen Changfeng no longer had any good feelings towards Shen Qianxue.
"Second brother, I remind you not to be too sentimental towards Shen Qianxue. She is not our sister!"
Shen Yunyi: "Let me go back and ask her."
"What else are you asking? She knew that our Xiaowu was not that kind of person but she concealed it and tried to intercept the real situation. Also, she took medicine to pretend to be sick and deceived the whole family with Liu Meifang. How could she be wronged in every way?"
Shen Changfeng said angrily: "Wake up!"
"Brother, I get it. I'll hang up first." Shen Yunyi hung up the phone, took a picture of the environment at Shen Dazhuang's home, and climbed over the wall to leave.
When he returned home, his eyes were red and swollen and he looked very tired.
Shen Qianxue came over with milk and asked with concern: "Second brother, did you work all night? You don't look very well."
Shen Yunyi subconsciously avoided the milk she handed over. Noticing her expression change, he said calmly, "I'm sleepy. Wait until I wake up before talking to you."
"Okay, second brother, drink this milk before you go to sleep..."
Before Shen Qianxue finished speaking, Shen Yunyi had already gone upstairs.
"Second brother...why are you so much colder to me than my eldest brother?"
