Chapter 28 The Gloomy Little Darling of the 1970s
"What's the meaning?
"Old woman, what does she mean by that?"
Old Zhou picked up the money from the ground with a sinister look in his eyes. He did so quickly, as if he was afraid someone would steal it. Seeing so much money carelessly thrown on the ground made him tremble with fear.
"She said the child's name is Shen Huai... Old Man!"
Grandma Zhou looked at her husband nervously, and the two of them had a bold guess in their minds.
“Chen Ci, stop right there! Explain yourself! Did you change the child’s surname? Let me tell you, this child’s surname is Zhou for life. He’s a member of the Zhou family in life and in death. How can you face your ancestors by changing his surname?”
Shen Ci opened the car window, stuck her head out, and smiled gracefully with her delicate eyebrows and eyes. "That's right, from today onwards, his name will be Shen Huai. We have to thank you two for being willing to send the child to my side. Who wouldn't want such an outstanding child?"
"Shen Huai knew immediately that he was my son, Shen Ci, and had absolutely no relation to your Zhou family!"
After she finished speaking, the car window closed, and the car sped away in a flash.
"Oh no, this is terrible! What are we going to do? Old man, they've changed our eldest grandson's surname! What are we going to do? How are we going to explain this to Dayou when he comes back?"
Grandma Zhou slapped her thigh anxiously. The reason they agreed to this request for money was that no matter how the household registration was changed, the child would still have the surname Zhou, and this surname would repeatedly remind Zhou Huai that he was a member of the Zhou family. But now, the surname had been changed.
Old Zhou's face was ashen. He clutched the bundle of money tightly to his chest, feeling a little flustered as he looked around at the subtle glances he was receiving.
That damned Shen Ci! She brought them into the city by car, and now she doesn't even know to take them back. It's so unsafe for those two old people to carry such a big bag of money. She even openly threw the money on the ground. I wonder how many people secretly saw this!
"Stop howling."
Blame yourself for not paying attention while writing; what's the point of saying all this now? Hurry up and leave, or someone will be watching you!
Old Zhou grabbed his wife and quickly left. They could deal with the future later; they needed to focus on the immediate benefits. The wife was the child's biological grandparents, and they had raised the child. They couldn't possibly be less close to a woman they had only known for a few months, could they?
But feelings are never measured by time alone.
He hadn't gone far when a few burly men followed behind, patting Old Zhou on the shoulder. "Uncle, what's in that bag? It's heavy, let us help you carry it..."
On the bus.
Zhou Huai, now Shen Huai, looked at the household registration book in his hand. His name had been changed to Shen Huai. From today onwards, he had a new identity.
At that moment, he clearly realized that he was no longer the boy who had suffered so much in Zhoujia Village. He had a new identity, a new life, and a new family.
"Thank you... for everything you've done for me."
After looking at the name written in black and white for a while, Shen Huai said to Shen Ci in a steady voice that his mother had never abandoned him or abandoned him. They had endured hardship and humiliation before they were reunited. He felt that all the grievances and suffering he had endured were worth it for today.
"Why are you being so polite with me? We're just mother and son, why are we talking about these things?"
Mom should thank you for choosing to be my child. Because of your existence, Mom is very happy, and no matter how much hardship there is, it gives Mom the strength to keep going.
"I'm so sorry, Mom. I brought you into this world out of selfishness, but I haven't been able to give you a good family or a good father."
Many parents feel that their children should repay them, believing that the debt of giving birth to and raising a child is greater than heaven. However, in a legal sense, parents have an obligation to raise their children, and only then do children have an obligation to support their parents.
Parents have children for their own desires, whether it's lust, love, or the hope that the children will support them in their old age. Parents who love their children will think about what they can give them, while some parents only think about when their children will repay them.
Shen Ci's words sent a shiver through Shen Huai's body, as if he had been electrocuted. He had never heard such remarks before.
Do parents apologize to their children?
In the small world of Zhoujia Village, almost every family follows the same pattern. Even if the parents wrongly accuse their child, the child is always at fault. Not to mention that the parents would take the initiative to apologize to their child. Shen Ci's behavior and actions made Shen Huai realize another side of the world.
"Mom, actually I did something..."
Shen Huai took out two stacks of money from his bag. These were the deposits that Shen Ci had given to Old Mrs. and Old Mr. Zhou in Zhoujia Village.
“I knew where they hid the money. He didn’t take anything else, only these.”
They weren't good to me, and they didn't really take care of me. I grew up by earning work points from one family to another.
They've already gotten more from me than they've given, and I don't want...your money to go to waste.
He felt a little guilty, wondering if his actions would displease Shen Ci.
The villain Zhou Huai is indeed vengeful, and he turns evil! Anyone who crosses him will pay the price. Shen Ci suddenly felt very glad that she changed his surname.
There is no Zhou Huai in this world who turned evil and met a tragic end.
Only her good son, her brilliant and amazing son, Shen Huai.
Worried that Shen Ci would be unhappy, he still confessed the matter, because Shen Ci had said that he could tell her anything.
As expected, Shen Ci was not unhappy at all; instead, he smiled slyly.
“My son and I are truly on the same wavelength. I already had Zhou Zheng arrange for someone to retrieve that money.”
If they treat you well, I certainly won't treat them badly. We should never use our soft hearts on bad people. Mom gave them money to let you know that temporary compromise is prudent self-preservation, not retreat.
Too much of a good thing can be bad. If this child recklessly pushes himself along his original life path, he'll surely break down. If he had channeled that intelligence and indomitable spirit into the right path, it could have contributed to social stability and development.
Hmm! Shen Huai's eyes lit up. So she also... That's great. He was also planning to find an opportunity to get the money back. His mother worked very hard to earn money, and even a few hundred yuan shouldn't be wasted.

After the name was changed, the information in the system also changed. Shen Ci noticed that one of Shen Huai's entries in the information panel had disappeared. The missing entry was "dull".
