"Zhao Dongxiu, you wouldn’t tell us that Purchaser Wei earns more than fifty yuan a month, plus all kinds of vouchers, surely your family can afford these things."
Zhao Dongxiu was seething with anger but dared not speak up, "I happen to have a can of preserves at home, I’ll also give Sanbao half a pound of fruit candies."
Zhao Dongxiu ultimately dared not offend the Chen Family, fearing that offending Vice Factory Director Chen would ruin her husband’s prospects.
Zhao Dongxiu had to fork out money to avert disaster.
But deep down, she hated her sister-in-law even more.
If it weren’t for her sister-in-law wanting to take so many things from her home, would she have lost her mind and hit Vice Factory Director Chen’s young son?
Zhao Dongxiu limped into the room to get the stuff.
Yuan Chun looked at everyone and thanked them, "Thank you, Manager Wang, thank you, Grandma Li, and Aunt Gan Ping, thank you for coming to help me."
She showed a sad expression, "Although my sister-in-law doesn’t recognize me as her sister-in-law, I can’t deny my elder brother and nephew, in the future, when my sister-in-law is home, I’ll refrain from visiting my brother and sister-in-law’s house to avoid making her angry, instead, I’ll meet my brother and nephew outside."
Everyone present looked at her sympathetically.
"Xiao Wei, I heard Sanbao’s mom rented Chen the Second’s single-room dormitory to you, so you should focus on your own life in the future, don’t get involved with your sister-in-law too much to avoid being bullied by her again."
Yuan Chun nodded with a choke in her voice, "I feel really sorry for Sanbao, today he got caught up in my quarrel and was slapped by my sister-in-law."
The simple-minded boy grinned and said, "Pretty sister, it’s not being dragged into it, I wanted to protect you myself, pretty sister doesn’t need to get hit, which makes me very happy."
"Wow, Sanbao already knows how to protect girls."
"Of course, I am a real man."
The simple-minded boy patted his chest, "My face doesn’t hurt anymore, pretty sister, I’ll help you move things."
The simple-minded boy remembered that he was here to help the pretty sister move things.
Zhao Dongxiu compensated with a can of preserves and half a pound of fruit candies, then carried Da Bao to the Chen Family to apologize to Mrs. Chen, only then did the Chen Family not hold it against her for hitting the simple-minded boy.
The simple-minded boy stayed in Yuan Chun’s dormitory until dusk before reluctantly returning home.
In the evening, Yuan Chun didn’t cook, she ate beef noodles she had taken out from her space.
Early the next morning, she bought a ticket and went back to her hometown to transfer her household registration.
The hometown was just a three-hour train ride from the provincial capital, after getting off the train, she had to walk for an hour to reach Dongpu Village where the Wei Family lived.
Mr. and Mrs. Wei were quite surprised by their daughter’s sudden return.
Mrs. Wei hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks, took the bag from her daughter in astonishment, "Yuan Chun, why have you come back, it’s not even the weekend, who’s looking after Da Bao when you’re here?"
"Mom, I spent the morning on the train, walked for so long, and you don’t feel distressed that your daughter is exhausted and hungry, you’re just concerned about your eldest grandson." Yuan Chun mimicked the original’s tone and acted spoiled with her parents.
It was just twelve o’clock, Mr. and Mrs. Wei had just come back from work and started eating.
Mrs. Wei said, "I’ll cook, mom will make scrambled eggs for you."
"Mom, you’re so good, back in the provincial capital, brother and sister-in-law couldn’t bear to let me eat eggs, the eggs I brought had to be left for my sister-in-law to eat alone."
The original owner didn’t want to make her parents feel sad, so she always wrote letters about happy news only.
Yuan Chun didn’t have so many considerations, she wanted her parents to see Wei Yuanfang and Zhao Dongxiu’s true nature.
Sure enough, Mr. Wei’s face turned grim, "Your brother doesn’t even let you eat eggs?"
