Chapter 195: Chapter 197: She is Not Happy
If things were still like in her previous life, then there were some things, she’d rather not have.
And there were some feelings, she’d rather not seek, of course, she wouldn’t pay either, paying her sincere heart, only to be returned with all sorts of perfunctory and deceit.
By the time they returned to the village, three days had already passed.
As soon as she arrived at the village, Tang Yuxin felt something strange inside the village. From a distance, it seemed like someone was crying.
“Uncle Tie Tou, did something happen in the village?”
Tang Yuxin asked the villagers, in just three days since they left, did a major incident take place in the village?
“Yes,” Uncle Tie Tou sighed involuntarily.
“It’s the Zhang Family’s second child, vanished without a trace. Apparently, he went to Beijing with someone else, but I don’t know if he was tricked away.”
Tang Yuxin’s heart tightened involuntarily. She bit her lip so hard, almost hurting herself. But this kind of pain made her thoughts excessively clear.
Is that so, he went to Beijing?
Could it be that, no matter how much she did, some things were ultimately unable to change?
What was meant to happen, in the end happened. The ones who were meant to leave, in the end left. Those meant to meet, in the end met.
Zhang Yindi’s mom sat on the ground, sobbing and weeping, shouting about her heartless son, that ingrate, she’d raised him up for nothing. But at other times, she would cry, worrying that he was tricked away by someone. Zhang Yindi never lacked food or clothes at home, what good would heading out do? He was underage and didn’t even have an ID card, nobody would hire him even if he wanted to work.
Now, Tang Yuxin finally understood, Zhang Yindi’s mother was not as heartless as Zhang Yindi had claimed.
The human heart is biased, inherently skewed. You naturally care more for the one who grows up with you and the son who is the hope of the family. The one in the middle may receive less care and less affection, but it doesn’t mean they don’t want this child, no matter what, it’s their child.
Where is Sang Zhilan? She took Tang Yuxin’s usefulness for granted, as if Tang Yuxin’s existence was meant to be a servant for her family to create everything for Wei Jiani, her house, her husband, even when she was dying, they made a fortune from her death.
The others saw Zhang Yindi’s mother crying like this and couldn’t bear it. Everyone here was a parent, all understanding a lost child can destroy a family.
Even if there were ten children at home, losing one would still hurt.
“Yindi’s mother, I think you don’t have to worry.”
“Yes,” another person also advised. “Didn’t we have some soldiers visit a few days ago? They were looking for a life-saver, and I saw Yindi leave with them. Maybe they took Yindi with them. Perhaps they are trying to repay their debt of gratitude. What good could our poor mountain village offer? Maybe when he gets to the big city, Yindi will have a better life.”
Everyone else also comforted her this way. Whether it was true or not, it would at least provide some solace to the mother who had lost her daughter.
Zhang Yindi’s mom started to feel better, but Tang Yuxin really didn’t feel good at all.
At this moment, her body felt like a stormy sea, with heavy winds and torrential rain.
She had always suspected this matter, but it turned out to be true.
It was no wonder that Zhang Yindi just up and left in her previous life, and when they met again, she had become a high-ranking officer’s wife. But in her previous life, she was so stupid that she told Zhang Yindi about saving Gu Ning and Zhang Yindi took her credit, not only did she take over her gracious deed, but she also took another life that was different from hers.
This life, she didn’t say anything, but it was still stolen by Zhang Yindi.
She turned around to prevent her fury reaching the extreme, and risking her health.
Alright, take everything. Let’s see how long you can do that. What’s stolen won’t last long. When she gets to Beijing, they can get back at them. If she disregarded and ignored everything this life around, she would be a colossal fool.
No matter what, she would never let Gu Ning be half dead at the hands of that woman again.
Some people deserve it while some decidedly don’t.
“What’s wrong, you unhappy somewhere?”
Tang Zhinian placed his hand on his daughter’s head. “Why are you always making that long face recently?”
“Dad, I’m fine,” Tang Yuxin smiled at Tang Zhinian. How could she tell him that she was annoyed and angry now, and even had insomnia at night. Could it be the coming of menopause?
“If you’re fine, you can go to Aunt Chen’s house. They invited us last time…” Tang Zhinian hadn’t finished speaking when a small figure ran over and hugged Tang Zhinian’s leg.
“Uncle, take Sisi to see her brother, Sisi misses her brother”
Didn’t they just meet the day before yesterday? Tang Yuxin stretched out her hand and squeezed her sister’s small face hard. She really felt that she had fallen out of favor. This little girl used to like her a lot, calling her sister all the time. Her small milky voice was really cute, but now she has become a fan of her brother and it’s been a long time since she heard the word “sister” from her.
Sisi hid behind Tang Zhinian, hiding from Tang Yuxin’s “demon claws”.
Alright, Tang Yuxin thought for a moment, she had nothing to do at home anyway, so she might as well take Sisi out to play. In the meantime, she could check if Chen Lidong had been slacking off lately. She didn’t want him to be self-indulgent and neglect his duties when she wasn’t around. If that’s the case, all her efforts last year would have been in vain. She’s the kind of person who follows through on things and wouldn’t leave things half done.
She decided to take the pair of childhood friends and try to get into high school together, and then to college.
Of course, the other reason is she wants her dad to meet more people. Their family can’t farm forever. In the future, maybe they will need the help of Chen’s dad and Xu’s dad.
Her dad is an honest man, so, as his daughter, she will take the initiative to establish other relationships for her father who is not good at socializing.
She changed her clothes, packed her schoolbag, took Sisi, and left the house. This allowed the adults at home to start tidying up the house. The entire house had to be cleaned, and when they were cleaning, dust would fill the air. They had nowhere to go other than to sit outside.
From across the road, there’s a bus that goes into town, just started operating a few years ago. It’s so convenient to the villagers. Just get on the bus and you can reach the town in a short time.
Tang Yuxin took Sisi on the bus. Fortunately, when they reached their stop, there weren’t many people on the bus. She found a seat and sat down, letting Sisi sit in her lap. They only take one seat, even though there are still other seats. But when they reach the next few stops, obviously, more people will get on.
