In the Su Guo Supermarket under the apartment building, Chen Lan was accompanying Empress Dowager Liang. They were looking at the dazzling products while talking about Shen Youchu's family situation.
"Other than Fat Girl Hu, no one in Tianjing Mountain District knows about my brother and sister-in-law Youchu."
Chen Lan said, "During the day, sister-in-law Youchu is still the same as before. She cooks, cleans, or teaches Ah Ning."
"Shen Youchu probably doesn't want them to worry. After all, the elders in the family are old and the children are young."
Liang Meijuan could understand. "What about at night?"
"At night, she will be alone in a daze. Once, when I woke up in the middle of the night to drink water, I saw sister-in-law Youchu sitting on the sofa in the living room."
Chen Lan pouted. "She has always been naive. When she is in a daze, she is especially focused. I walked to her side, but she didn't notice."
"Did Youchu cry?"
Liang Meijuan asked.
"Of course."
Chen Lan probably recalled that scene, and her face became a little gloomy. "It was the first time I knew that tears could be shed silently. She was crying while gently touching the sofa."
"Why …"
Liang Meijuan suddenly shut her mouth halfway. She had also realized that when Chen Hansheng stayed in Tianjing Mountain District previously, he often slept on the sofa because there weren't enough rooms.
In other words, the sofa still had Chen Hansheng's scent. Shen Youchu was reminiscing.
"Sigh!"
Even Chen Hansheng's mother, Liang Meijuan, sighed. "Silly girl, why do you have to be like this for him? It's not worth it."
"Auntie ~"
Chen Lan looked around and suddenly said, "Anyway, it's still early. Let's take a taxi to Tianjing Mountain District to see sister-in-law Youchu. She is so pitiful. She has to pretend to be strong in front of her mother-in-law and younger sister every day, but she is secretly sad at night. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes have become haggard."
Ah Lan's personality was very similar to Chen Hansheng's. Or rather, because she had her brother to rely on, she often did things willfully.
Empress Dowager Liang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She seemed very interested in this proposal.
But after a while, she looked at the household necessities in the cart and hesitated for a long time. In the end, her face darkened and she shook her head. "I'm not going. Little Yu'er is going back to China. I have to hurry back and decorate the house."
Liang Meijuan seemed to have chosen Little Yu'er between the two of them.
"Why?"
Chen Lan was stunned for a moment. "My brother said that Uncle likes Little Yu'er, but you like Young Chu more. She needs you right now."
"What's there to like more? I like all of them."
Empress Dowager Liang touched her niece's hair and hid the tears in the corner of her eyes, "Little Yu'er is pregnant. If I go to look for Youchu now, she will definitely cry with her. There is no other way, unless …"
"Unless what?"
Chen Lan raised her head.
"Unless …"
Liang Meijuan said quietly, "Little Yu'er and You Chu can accept each other …"
"It's impossible."
Chen Lan denied it directly. Not to mention the proud Little Yu'er, it was impossible for Youchu to accept either.
In terms of their personalities, if her brother chose one of them, the other one would rather not get married in this lifetime than continue to be in contact with Chen Hansheng.
… ….
After shopping, Liang Meijuan went back upstairs. Although she did not look for Shen Youchu because of Xiao Rongyu, she vented all her anger on her son.
Chen Hansheng did not know whether to sit or stand at home. Even when he joked with Wang Zibo, Liang Meijuan would glare at him coldly.
"I didn't offend her."
Chen Hansheng did not dare to show his displeasure to Empress Dowager Liang. He secretly found his sister and asked, "I hinted you to tell me about Shen Youchu's recent situation. You didn't say anything else, right?"
"If you don't believe me, then don't make me a spy!"
Chen Lan sniffed with her little nose and walked away.
She would not admit that she instigated her aunt to look for Shen Youchu. Otherwise, her pocket money would be cut off by her brother in the future.
During dinner, Old Xiao came over from Harbor City. He was quite satisfied with this house, which showed that Chen Hansheng had indeed put in a lot of effort.
Chen Zhaojun even opened a bottle of Wuliangye and drank a few cups with Xiao Hongwei.
At the beginning of the year, when Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu had just broken up, Old Xiao met Chen Zhaojun in the district government. Chen Zhaojun directly ignored him, and the relationship between the two families became cold.
It was not until Little Yu'er was pregnant that the two fathers sat down to talk about things again.
Now that Little Yu'er was finally going to return to China, Chen Hansheng could be said to have "turned over a new leaf". Thinking of the troubled past, Old Chen raised his wine glass and said with mixed feelings, "Old Xiao, the road to happiness is strewn with setbacks."
Xiao Hongwei had a similar feeling. He looked at Chen Zhaojun's face. Chen Zhaojun also had deep wrinkles at the corner of his eyes.
Time flies. Four years ago, the children had just entered university. Then, seconds seemed to be just a "tick", and they were about to graduate from university.
"The road to happiness is strewn with setbacks."
Old Xiao raised his wine glass and clinked it with Chen Zhaojun's. The two fathers did not say anything. Everything was expressed in the wine.
After Chen Hansheng was full, he bit a toothpick in his mouth and laughed as he watched the two old men drink. This was already very obedient for him, but he did not know why Empress Dowager Liang was still picking on him.
"Can you be a little more polite?"
Empress Dowager Liang didn't care that Wang Zibo, Bian Shishi, and the others were all at the table, and bluntly scolded, "You don't know how to sit properly, you don't know how to stand properly, biting a toothpick is the action of a hooligan. Chen Hansheng, are you a hooligan? Let me ask you, are you …"
"I'm going to faint. Did she eat gunpowder?"
Chen Hansheng muttered in his heart. However, he did not dare to quarrel with Empress Dowager Liang. This was a shadow from when he was young. In this world, the only person who dared to scold Chen Hansheng so unscrupulously was his mother, Liang Meijuan.
The others also knew this. Moreover, Chen Hansheng's "reputation" was too bad. None of his friends were willing to help him. The most infuriating thing was that the two old men also pretended not to hear it and continued to drink by themselves.
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't pick my teeth."
Chen Hansheng spat out the toothpick, curled his lips and prepared to go to the living room to watch TV.
Who would have thought that Empress Dowager Liang was still not satisfied, "You are not allowed to watch TV. Come over later and wash the dishes!"
"I …"
Chen Hansheng felt that he was being targeted today. He angrily walked to the window and pushed it open. He said, "Mom, if you continue to target me like this, believe it or not, I will let you taste the feeling of losing your family."
There was no movement at the table. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do. Whoever believed that Chen Hansheng would commit suicide was a pure big idiot.
His mother, Liang Meijuan, snorted coldly and didn't even look at the window.
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng said angrily, "Do you all think that I am bragging? Do you all think that I am not brave enough?"
In the next moment, Chen Hansheng suddenly carried his sister, Chen Lan, and dragged her to the window.
"Uncle, Aunt, save me!"
Chen Lan was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. "My brother said that he will let you taste the feeling of losing your family. He is not going to commit suicide by jumping off the building, he is going to throw me down. Help, help …"
