Chapter 20 Return to the Shen Family
Although Mr. He was sad, he did not stop others from introducing him to a girl. A year later, he married another girl, who is now Mrs. He. They have a son and a daughter.
Just when the country was winning the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, the wife who had been killed in the bombing came back to life and found Mr. He with her three children.
Mr. He gave a sum of money to his first wife and asked her to live in the He family's hometown, but she was unwilling, so he had to arrange for her to live in the capital.
As a result, the He family, which had been relatively peaceful, began to live in chaos.
He Xu's father was in the middle. When his three older brothers and sisters were not back, he was still very favored, so he developed a reckless and disobedient character.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the marriage partner arranged by Mr. He.
But Mr. He just didn't like his first love and forced him to marry He Xu's mother.
After they gave birth to He Xu, He's father couldn't wait to divorce He's mother and married his first love who was already married and whose husband had died.
As for He Xu's mother, Chen Tang didn't have many memories about her, and didn't know what kind of person she was.
Anyway, He Xu is well-known in the compound for being ruthless and cruel, and he will beat anyone who provokes him to death.
Young He Xu was simply a cancer in the compound. Every parent would remind their children not to mess with him. His biological father and stepmother didn't care about him either. It was not until Grandpa He separated the family and took him with him to teach him that the compound calmed down.
The only few times the original body met He Xu in his memory were when he got into trouble and was tied to a stool and whipped by He's father.
Thinking of this, Chen Tang raised his eyes and glanced at the man with a smile on his lips. His handsome face and slightly lazy figure made him look like a nobleman who had walked out of a painting.
Somehow, an idea popped into her mind.
The smile is real or fake.
He Xu noticed Chen Tang's gaze and looked over in confusion. The little girl's light brown eyes reflected his figure, and then she withdrew her gaze with a cold expression and glanced at the scenery outside the window.
How did he offend her?
There was no conversation along the way, and half an hour later, the car finally entered the compound.
Chen Tang also began to get nervous.
She was an orphan in her previous life. Now she occupied the body of her original owner and was about to face her original owner's family. She always felt a little uncomfortable.
The car passed by rows of lush trees. The neat green belts on both sides were tidy and eye-catching. The people in the compound were dressed simply but more beautifully than those seen on the street.
The car stopped in front of a villa, and a white guardrail came into view.
Shen Tang got out of the car and rang the doorbell. Soon, someone came out. The leader was naturally Shen's mother, but she was followed by several relatives.
He Xu saw that there was a guest at the Shen family, so he put his luggage at the door, said something to her, and went back to the He family.
"Is Tangtang back?"
The woman standing in the yard was wearing a white shirt and side-opening trousers. She smiled flatteringly, and her eyes did not forget to glance in the direction where He Xu left.
"That's the kid from the He family, right? He has been in the army for a few years but he doesn't look that bad."
Chen Tang dug out the identity of this woman from his memory and called out indifferently, "Aunt."
Mr. Shen also married two women. The first one was Shen Tang’s biological grandmother, who only gave birth to her father.
The latter one gave birth to a pair of daughters. Because she was injured during childbirth, Old Madam Shen loved this daughter very much during her lifetime, so she was raised to be arrogant and domineering since she was a child.
She usually orders her father around and scolds the original body whenever she wants.
The sun really rose from the west today, and he actually greeted her so nicely?
Mother Shen obviously didn't have a good face towards Aunt Shen. Seeing that she wanted to come over to help her with the luggage, she stopped her coldly: "Why do you need my help, Tangtang, I can do this luggage by myself.
Your elder brother is not at home today because of something else, so you should go back early to avoid making another wasted trip."
Chen Ping's face suddenly turned angry, but thinking that she had to ask someone for help, she couldn't lose her temper.
"Tangtang just came back today, how could big brother not be at home? We are all family. I apologize for any way I have let big brother down in the past, but I really have no choice, is big brother going to watch Wenxiao go to jail?"
Mother Shen looked at Shen Ping's ugly face, who was suppressing her anger and accusing them, and sneered unceremoniously: "Liang Wenxiao deserves to be in jail. My younger sister always looks down on us, why don't you go and ask my second brother for help now?
I remember that he and Liang Wenxiao were schoolmates. As the director of a timber factory, he should have more connections than us. "
The sarcasm in her words was too obvious, and Chen Ping shouted angrily: "Zhou Rong, how dare you talk to me like this?"
She used to brag about her family background to everyone she met, and that her second brother was a factory manager.
But when something really happened, she realized how big the difference was between a small factory manager who became the director thanks to his father's connections and a teacher who made his way through his own efforts.
But this time even her dad didn't help her.
Otherwise, why would she be ridiculed by Zhou Rong like this!
Mother Shen raised her chin elegantly: “If the eldest lady can’t stand the grievance, then leave my house immediately. The old man’s meaning is very clear. We are not allowed to interfere in this matter.”
Mr. Shen went out early in the morning just to avoid his daughter.
Mother Chen was also angry. Her daughter came home and the whole family should have been happy, but everyone was away from home to avoid this plague god. If it weren't for her years of education, she would have kicked Chen Ping out long ago.
At this time, a girl who was about the same age as Shen Tang walked out of the room, and pulled Shen Ping's hand with a gloomy face: "Mom, didn't you see that no one in the Shen family wants to help? Let's go back first, Dad is still waiting for our news."
Chen Ping knew that the old man was avoiding her. Seeing the mockery on Zhou Rong's lips, she waved her hand and walked away holding her breath.
Mother Shen patted Shen Tang's back gently, and her cold light brown eyes, which were exactly the same as Shen Tang's, reflected her figure, full of happiness and love.
"How is it in the art troupe? Are you tired? Your sister-in-law bought your favorite spare ribs today and will make steamed spare ribs for you tonight."
Shen Tang thought that she would not be used to the contact with her original relatives, but Shen's mother's smile made her feel very relaxed, as if she had really returned home, and all the awkward emotions that she had thought of along the way were gone.
She smiled shyly: "It's okay, but I don't get along well with the people in the dormitory. It's a pity that I can't live in my aunt's house."
Mother Shen was a very smart person. When she heard her daughter say this, she knew what she was planning.
"Then let's take it slow. We can't back down just because of a little difficulty. We must consider the pros and cons before doing anything."
Chen Tang listened to his mother's instructions and walked into the house. He saw the yellow wooden walls and white sofas in the house. Through the transparent kitchen glass, he could vaguely see a person busy working in it.
For some reason, a sense of familiarity came over me.
Before she could remember what that familiar feeling was, her second sister-in-law had already washed the fruit from the kitchen and put it on the table.
"Oh, our female soldier is back. She looks thinner. Did you lend the money mom gave you to He Qiu again?"
There was some irony in these words, and Chen Tang also remembered the conflict between his original body and his second sister-in-law.
