She was actually angry inside, angry that Wang Xinian treated Jiang Shaochen badly, and angry that Wang Xinian was useless.
But what can she do if the student really doesn't want to continue studying?
At noon, except for Jiang Guofu who did not return, the family sat at the dining table.
Wang Xinian tried to talk to Shen Mingzhi, "Sister, I brought you a summer dress. It's very popular in the south. Take a look at it in a bit?"
"Let's see in the summer," Shen Mingzhi said indifferently.
Her attitude made Wang Xinian feel particularly uncomfortable.
Aunt Wang also knew that he would scold Jiang Shaochen as soon as he came back, and that he would not go to school... It was really because he had been away for half a year that he had lost all interest in studying.
At the dinner table, Shen Mingzhi remained silent, and Jiang Shaochen also kept quiet, leaving Wang Xinian to suffer alone.
After finishing her meal, Shen Mingzhi said to Jiang Shaozhen, "You can take me to the factory later. The factory needs to ship goods these days, so I won't be coming home at night. I'll be staying at the factory. You can take care of the child."
She was deliberately avoiding Wang Xinian.
Jiang Shaozhen felt helpless, but he still agreed, "Okay, then take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Now things are really messed up. She's angry with Wang Xinian, and he's suffering along with her, no longer having a wife to sleep with him at night.
Wang Xinian went back to his room before he had even finished his meal.
After Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Shaozhen left, Wang Sao, who had finished tidying up the kitchen, went into his room.
His snakeskin bags were all open, and inside were many beautiful dresses.
Looking at those dresses, his eyes reddened and he remained silent.
“Zhizhi has her reasons for sending you abroad. She’s knowledgeable, capable, and far-sighted. If you don’t listen to her, who will you listen to?” Aunt Wang said with a sigh as she stood to the side.
With tears in her eyes, Wang Xinian said, "She's changed a lot. She wouldn't have been angry with me like this before. Is she deliberately avoiding me and not going home?"
“She’s really busy. You don’t know, in the six months you were gone, she was busy every day. She did some business, but those with connections bullied her. If it weren’t for her good brain and intelligence, she would have lost her factory by now.” Aunt Wang walked to his side and handed him a handkerchief.
Wang Xinian didn't answer, but wiped his face with his sleeve. "I don't understand why you're forcing me to go abroad. I just can't bear to leave, that's why I don't want to go abroad. If I could study at a university in China, I definitely would. I want to study, I want to go to university, but I don't want to be so far from home."
The past six months have been incredibly difficult.
Every time he missed her, he would buy her a dress and imagine how she would look in it.
But when they went abroad, the dress he bought her couldn't even see herself wearing it.
“Xinian…this is your sister. How can you have such unrealistic feelings for your sister?” Aunt Wang said to him in a low voice. “To put it bluntly, she’s just a servant in the old days, a kind-hearted woman. She saw that you like to study and that studying is difficult, so she spent money to let you study. She saw that you have talent, not that she has feelings for you.”
Wang Xinian remained silent.
“The Jiang family… even if Shao Chen has retired from the army, the Jiang family is still beyond our reach, not to mention that she has given birth to two children for Shao Chen,” Aunt Wang told him.
Wang Xinian knew this, of course... but he just liked Shen Mingzhi, what could he do?
Even though we hadn't seen each other for several months, my feelings for her hadn't diminished at all.
The moment he saw her after leaving the station, he liked her even more.
"Xi Nian... what's wrong with you?" Aunt Wang really didn't understand why she had suddenly fallen for Shen Mingzhi.
She's already married with two kids, and this child is really too outrageous!
“What happened… It’s because no one has protected me or wanted me since I was a child. Everyone despises me and thinks I’m a burden. Only she always thinks of me no matter how hard or difficult things are. I never dared to think about going abroad before, but she never hesitated.” Wang Xinian lowered his head, his voice trembling.
He would be scolded and beaten if he ate an extra sweet potato at his biological parents' house.
When he arrived at his stepparents' house, sometimes he wouldn't even have a meal when his stepmother wasn't home.
During the time he was with Shen Mingzhi, he didn't have to do anything, he could eat his fill, and he could study hard...
Because of the comparison, I am even more grateful to her and even more eager to get closer to her.
For a moment, Sister Wang didn't know what to say.
“At home, it feels like even breathing makes people uncomfortable… Even though I work so hard in the factory and give all my money to my stepfather, he still doesn’t like me.” Wang Xinian’s voice trembled uncontrollably as he finished speaking.
“Which of you has ever truly loved me? My stepfather values money more than his own life. Sometimes, when the factory doesn't have many orders and I don't earn much, he still scolds and beats me... But what about you at that time? You just hide on the sidelines and cry afterwards, saying you have no choice.”
Wang Xinian looked up at her with his red eyes, "But Shen Mingzhi is different. She would take the beating herself to protect me. She is different from all of you!"
Because she is too good.
He might only meet one woman like her in his lifetime, so what's wrong with him wanting to hold on tight?
Jiang Shaozhen lied to her. She will break up with Jiang Shaozhen sooner or later, and he will have a chance.
He always comforted himself like that.
“Xinian… I’m so sorry,” Wang’s voice trembled as she said.
He is so starved for love. As long as someone treats him well without expecting anything in return, he will be moved and cherish that person in his heart.
But that's wrong.
“You haven’t wronged me. You’re just different from her. She’s different from all of you,” Wang Xinian repeated.
He knew his thoughts were despicable; he called her "sister" but secretly wanted her to be his wife...
Unable to persuade him, Wang's wife could only sigh and leave the room.
Even she didn't understand Wang Xinian.
He was moved around a lot since he was a child, no one liked him, and even she couldn't protect him.
This led him to have a very deep mind from childhood, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Sister-in-law Wang knew that she had given too much advice, and it had backfired.
She just couldn't face Jiang Shaozhen, Jiang Qing, Jiang Guofu... She was clearly trying to help Wang Xinian, but who knew he harbored designs on Shen Mingzhi.
Wang's wife only hoped that Shen Mingzhi would send him abroad as soon as possible... Four years should be enough to make him give up the idea.
As Lunar New Year's Eve draws closer, the streets of Beijing are starting to bustle with activity.
Manager Su and Gao Jianguo's department store also launched a new promotional campaign.
The promotional event came out of nowhere.
In addition to price reductions, there's also the need to clear inventory.
Clearing inventory involves all goods, from low to high prices, and all kinds of goods.
There are also group purchases with relatives and friends to bring back New Year's benefits. As long as two people spend a certain amount, each person will receive a gift, such as pots and pans, grains and oils. Those who spend more can even take home home appliances. There is everything you could want.
Banners were hung at the entrances of both department stores, announcing great discounts and promotions.
Moreover, there are lion dance performances all day long.
