Chapter 25: Wine
"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? My sister and I haven't severed our relationship yet."
Yuan Zili rarely suffers a loss elsewhere, and he looked unhappy at the moment.
Unexpectedly, his expression was not good. Shen Caisheng's expression was even colder than his. "You brought a bunch of messy things to my wife to eat. Do you think I don't know?"
"Are people like you worthy of being her relatives?"
Shen Caisheng even suspected that the things that had gotten him and Yuan Lingling involved were also given by this family.
"No, Chen Caisheng, you little brat, how dare you talk like that in front of your elders? You are really born of a mother but not raised by her..."
Old Mrs. Yuan was halfway through her words when she was startled back by Shen Caisheng's gaze.
"I don't hit women or the elderly, but if you dare to provoke me..." He looked at Yuan Zili halfway through his words.
Yuan Zili was so frightened that he took a few steps back and hid behind Old Lady Yuan, "What...what do you want to do?"
"You can try it." Shen Caisheng said coldly.
At the critical moment, Old Lady Yuan spotted Yuan Lingling with her sharp eyes and said, "You silly girl, do you think you can get away with hiding? You've become independent now that you're married, and you don't listen to your family anymore, right?"
As soon as Yuan Lingling walked out of the room, before she even fully exposed her body, she was scolded by Old Lady Yuan.
"Stop dawdling, come here!"
She must have been used to controlling her original self, and still thought that Yuan Lingling was the easy-to-control bastard she used to be, regardless of whether Shen Caisheng was in front of her or not. After all, Shen Caisheng couldn't control her and teach his granddaughter a lesson.
Sure enough, Shen Caisheng didn't say anything, but looked at Yuan Lingling who was walking slowly towards him.
Yuan Lingling walked to Shen Caisheng's side with an expressionless face, but did not move forward. Before he could continue to accuse her, Yuan Lingling spoke first, "If grandma is here to ask me if I took the medicine, then grandma, don't worry, I didn't take it."
Old Mrs. Yuan was about to get angry when she heard this, but seeing that Shen Caisheng was standing by, she didn't dare to do anything and could only hold it in until her face turned red.
However, she heard Yuan Lingling say, "Because I'm pregnant, grandma is satisfied?"
"Really?" The old woman's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and the same happened to Yuan Zili beside her.
Like most people of this generation, they thought that as long as they had a child, the relationship between Yuan Lingling and Shen Caisheng would become indestructible.
"Oh, really? Why didn't you tell me this great news earlier?" Old Mrs. Yuan laughed and acted arrogantly towards Shen Caisheng.
Yuan Lingling couldn't bear to watch it, and smiled with a fake smile, "It's not even three months yet. I heard that telling others before three months will be bad for the fetus."
Hearing this, Shen Caisheng glanced at her and quietly went to the side to feed the chickens.
The hen at home seemed to be very satisfied with her own small villa. She clucked and laid a round egg on time every day. Shen Caisheng walked around and picked up an egg, with no intention of entertaining the Yuan family's grandparents and grandchildren.
Old Mrs. Yuan's mouth was pulled up with dissatisfaction, but she still had to please. She forced a not-so-good-looking smile and said to Yuan Lingling: "You are pregnant now, so don't stand all the time. Go inside and rest."
Yuan Lingling walked into the house silently, took out the medicine from the backpack and put it on the table, "Please take these things back, I don't need them."
"You..." Old Lady Yuan cursed Yuan Lingling for not knowing how to read people's faces, but she still had to smile. "How does he treat you? Don't be afraid if you get bullied. The Yuan family is your mother's family, and there are people who will take care of you."
Yuan Lingling didn't know how she could say such disgusting and hypocritical words. The original body was the same. It was really admirable that she could maintain such a relationship.
"I feel a little uncomfortable and need to lie down first. You guys can do whatever you want." Yuan Lingling was too lazy to argue with the two of them and turned to go into the house.
"Hey, you damned girl!" Just as Old Lady Yuan was about to curse, the door slammed shut, and she trembled with fear. "You are such an ungrateful bastard! I really am..."
"Is there anything else?" Shen Caisheng was standing at the door. He was very tall, and especially from the short old lady's perspective, it seemed as if he occupied the entire door of the main room.
Old Lady Yuan stroked her chest. At her age, what she feared most was this kind of fearless little hooligan. If it weren't for his good conditions, she would not have let that damn girl marry her. "No... It's okay. Let's go back first. Lingling, come home if you're okay. Your grandfather misses you a lot. Tell me how long you've been..."
"Ahem!" Shen Caisheng took a step towards Yuan Zili.
"Grandma, let's go, I'll go."
The grandparents and grandchildren ran away as fast as mice seeing a cat, forgetting even to take the medicine bag that was on the table.
Shen Caisheng looked at their hurriedly disappearing backs with a gloomy expression.
Seeing that Yuan Lingling had no intention of coming out, Shen Caisheng went out with the medicine bag.
In fact, Yuan Lingling had not fallen asleep in the room. She heard the sound of Old Lady Yuan and the others leaving, and also heard the sound of Shen Caisheng leaving.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to go out and face Shen Caisheng, but she doesn’t know how to face him.
She replayed Shen Caisheng's words over and over in her mind like a movie, and suddenly she realized something was wrong.
Shen Caisheng, it seemed that he had never thought that the child in his belly might be his.
is that so? If so, he was too calm.
If not, he is too calm!
What a cold-hearted person.
Yuan Lingling sighed and turned over, then turned back over again because she couldn't sleep.
It seems that this cannot be entirely blamed on him. Many of the injuries left in childhood are irreversible, and his current personality is also closely related to his original family.
Or, should I tell him the truth myself?
But if that's the case, Shen Caisheng wouldn't be willing to let me go, at least he certainly wouldn't let the child go. Isn't this sacrificing myself to make him happy? What if I go back to my old ways...
Yuan Lingling sat up and pulled her hair.
Ah, what should I do!
She banged her head against the wall.
"hiss……"
never mind.
It's better to just leave. Shen Caisheng is a man who appears and disappears like a ghost and is not a very decent man. It would be strange if he can raise a child well.
The child cannot be given to him.
At this time, the not-so-decent man Shen Caisheng came to Lao You's house with a bag of medicine.
Seeing that he was holding something in his hand, Lao You was shocked, "This is mixed up, your wife is in trouble, why are you taking medicine?"
Shen Caisheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he handed him the medicine bag and said, "Go check what's in it and what effect it has after taking it."
"Isn't it for my brother and sister-in-law?"
Lao You took the medicine bag and realized that his face was not right. He quickly put the things down and asked, "What's wrong? Did your sister-in-law get angry with you when you go back?"
He was so anxious to go home before he came back, but now that he has finally come back alive, he doesn't stay at home but comes to him. It seems there is quite a contradiction.
Shen Caisheng didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth and said, "Have a drink?"
This was the first time that Lao You had seen Shen Caisheng so depressed. He stopped joking and said, "Okay, I'll get you some snacks." Judging from his appearance, he was probably going to get drunk.
In the past, the two of them had gotten drunk many times in order to complete their tasks, but Lao You could see that Shen Caisheng was not very interested in things like cigarettes, alcohol, and tea. At most, he would cook a few delicious dishes when he was in the mood.
Now that he wants to drink, Lao You can only accompany him.
The two of them drank one cup after another until dusk. Lao You lay on the table and could hardly move, but Shen Caisheng remained calm.
He stood up and felt dizzy for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Sometimes I want to get drunk, but I just can’t, he thought.
After helping Lao You lie down on the kang, he walked back home. The depression he had felt before leaving home not only did not go away after drinking, but it seemed to be getting worse.
Chen Caisheng exhaled a breath while walking halfway. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a snowflake. He was stunned for a long time before he opened his palm. The snowflake was gone, and his heart seemed to be empty as well.
"Shen Caisheng."
Someone called him.
Shen Caisheng turned around and heard the other party ask in a strange tone: "What are you doing?"
"Xie, Guang, An." Shen Caisheng shouted word by word.
"Are you drunk?"
At first, Xie Guangan was not sure when he smelled the alcohol on him, but when he heard him speak, he was sure that Shen Caisheng was drunk.
He stepped forward to help the other person, but was pushed by Shen Caisheng and almost fell down.
This drunk man has real strength.
"Is the child yours?"
Xie Guangan stood up straight and heard Shen Caisheng say this without any context.
"What child?"
Xie Guangan only thought he was a drunkard and didn't take his words to heart. Who knew he would hear the other party ask, "Is the baby in Yuan Lingling's belly yours?"
Hearing this, Xie Guangan looked up in surprise. Seeing that Shen Caisheng was just standing there, he cursed him viciously in a low voice.
"You are sick."
Today, everyone said that they were sick, and Shen Caisheng became angry, especially when he knew that the man in front of him was going to steal his wife. He became even more furious and stepped forward to grab the other person's collar.
Xie Guangan could be beaten by him once but not a second time, not to mention that the other party put such a hat on his head.
He punched him directly.
Even if the drunk people are not completely drunk, it does not affect their alcohol intake. Coupled with the provocation, things get out of control and the two people soon start to fight.
Perhaps it was because of the exercise, or perhaps it was the stimulation of pain, but when the two were tired, Shen Caisheng sobered up.
He climbed up from the snow and headed home.
"Wait a moment." Xie Guangan called him.
Shen Caisheng stopped.
"She and I have never had that kind of relationship. You've already married her, so you should live a good life with her."
"Do I need you to say that?" Shen Caisheng talked more today, which was rare because he was drunk, but Xie Guangan didn't seem to want to quarrel with him.
He said, "Not only did I not do that, but Xie Guanglian didn't either. He didn't have the guts. Besides, you can tell now that she has a child. It must have been more than a month. Was she familiar with us more than a month ago?"
Although they were all from this area in the past, because of Old Lady Yuan, Yuan Lingling seldom interacted with outsiders, let alone people from Hongmin Road.
Shen Caisheng was stunned. If it wasn't theirs, then...
But the two of them just did that one time,
"Grass!"
Shen Caisheng finally understood why Yuan Lingling was acting abnormally today, why she was so surprised when he agreed to divorce, and why she was so angry when he mentioned Xie Guangan.
But she is still worried about her own injuries. She is really not a human being!
"Thanks, I'll buy you a drink some other day."
Regardless of Xie Guangan's expression, Shen Caisheng almost ran back to his own yard.
The faint yellow light coming through the small window made Shen Caisheng's heart rise to his throat.
She hasn't slept yet. Is she waiting for me?
Has she been waiting for me like this for all those days since they got married?
Shen Caisheng hesitated, and when he was about to step into the main room, he stopped.
But why.
Since it was his child, why didn't she tell him.
Why do you want to leave?
