Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After Yuan Jie left, Shi Xuejiao carefully thought about what Yuan Jie had just said. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. At the same time, she also had a very strong feeling that Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin really cared about them and would definitely not harm them.

This feeling also made her feel a little guilty. She really shouldn't have been so greedy to calculate Yuan Jie's property. After all, occupying these properties is not justified now. Whether the other party directly revokes the gift or eventually goes to court, her end result can only be a waste of effort.

If they could get some money out of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou, they would feel much more at ease. However, according to the nature of those two stingy people, this would be extremely difficult.

Shi Xuejiao was somewhat aware that her brain was not enough, so at times like this, she should let Sun Xiaohao, who had a good brain, give full play to his intelligence and talents.

I went upstairs and came to the door. Just as I was about to open the door, I heard Shi's mother Li Chunfen yelling: "You little girl, you dare to snatch things from my good grandson, are you tired of living? Don't think that I dare not hit you because your mother supports you. Your mother doesn't dare to fight with your uncle for things..."

The crying of the child and Li Chunfen's scolding were intertwined. One can imagine how chaotic the scene was. Shi Xuejiao's dormant memory was completely awakened by the scolding.

When I was young, all the resources of the family were given to my younger brother. My two younger brothers could buy several sets of new clothes throughout the year, but I could only wear old clothes picked up from other people's homes. My younger brother could eat the stewed, shiny and tender braised pork, but I had to get my parents' permission to dip a little bit of the broth. My younger brother didn't have to do any housework since he was a child, but I had to take on almost all the housework, such as washing clothes and cooking. If I didn't do what they wanted, I might be beaten.

Even after I got married, every time I went back to my parents' house, it was a mess waiting for me to clean up. Maybe I was used to it, or maybe my parents' good looks made me forget everything, and I didn't even think there was anything wrong with doing these things.

Shi Xuejiao hated her parents' deep-rooted patriarchal ideology. She never expected that she would become arrogant after a few years of living a good life in the Sun family. She thought she could finally hold her head high in front of her family. Now, this scolding made her realize clearly that the good face was not given to her at all, but was borrowed from the few RMB in her pocket.

She would never let her daughter have the same childhood as herself, nor would she let the two children become alienated or even become enemies because of those damn feudal ideas.

Thinking of this, Shi Xuejiao quickly took out the key and opened the door. At this time, her daughter was half lying on the ground crying loudly, and her son was playing with the "trophy" in his hand proudly.

She yelled at Li Chunfen, "Mom, what are you doing? The child fell down, and you don't know how to comfort him?"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to her daughter, gently held her in her arms, and patiently and softly comforted her: "Beibei, don't cry, mom is here, tell mom who bullied you, mom will beat him up..."

The warm embrace of her mother gave Beibei a great sense of security. She gradually stopped crying and said with some sobs: "It was my brother. He was bad. He snatched the toys and wouldn't let me play with them. And my grandma was a bad guy. She beat Beibei..."

After hearing her daughter's answer, Shi Xuejiao asked Li Chunfen knowingly, "Mom, what happened just now? Did you help Chenchen bully Beibei?"

Li Chunfen, however, looked nonchalant and lightly denied it: "How could I bully such a young child? Listen to her nonsense. She is so young and doesn't learn her lessons. She is just imitating others to lie."

Based on her years of experience as a victim of abuse, Shi Xuejiao knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless, so she stopped talking nonsense to Li Chunfen: "Mom, wait for my dad to come back later, you guys pack up and go home tomorrow!"

When Li Chunfen heard this, her face instantly fell. Her home was in an old residential area in a county town under Qingyang City. The house was more than 30 years old, the environment was terrible, and the various living facilities were very incomplete. How could it be better than this high-end residential area in Qingyang City?

She asked, "Xiao Jiao, what do you mean by that? Your father and I are here to help you look after the children, but you don't appreciate it? Didn't you just scold the little girl a few words? Are you angry with me, your mother, because of this?"

"As for, why not? If I don't mention what you did to me when you were little, do you think I have forgotten it all?

I feed you like a fool, and give you money to spend. Do you know why? It's not because I'm generous, but because the real money I spend on you can be exchanged for your smiles, so that you will be cautious in front of me, nodding and flattering me, and coaxing me.

Every time this happens, I feel an unprecedented sense of pleasure and satisfaction, as if those childhood shadows no longer exist and I can finally enjoy the sunshine to my heart’s content.”

Shi Xuejiao suddenly laughed as she was talking, staring at Li Chunfen with bloodshot eyes: "Hahaha... I'm so stupid. How could I have such an illusion? Tell me, why?"

Li Chunfen was frightened by Shi Xuejiao's appearance. This was the first time she felt fear when facing Shi Xuejiao.

"Good daughter, let's not say anything angry. Can't I not scold the child in the future? Mom was wrong. If you forgive me this time, I promise there won't be a next time." Li Chunfen and Shi Xuejiao gave in.

According to her understanding of Shi Xuejiao, this trick is very useful to Shi Xuejiao. She has already surrendered obediently, and Shi Xuejiao will definitely give up.

But this time, Shi Xuejiao seemed to be particularly abnormal, and her attitude was unusually firm: "If you don't want to get out tonight, then stop talking nonsense."

After saying that, Shi Xuejiao picked up the two children and went back to the house to coax them to sleep.

After the child fell asleep, Shi Xuejiao tossed and turned in bed. She took out her cell phone and looked at the donations that enthusiastic netizens had transferred to her privately over the past few days. The amount was now close to 200,000 yuan.

It's such a huge sum of money. Without Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin as backers, I don't know how long it will take me to earn so much money. Do I really want to return it?

How excited I was to see the numbers continue to grow, how painful it is to see them go back now.

After some inner struggle, Shi Xuejiao finally made up her mind to contact the donors one by one and return the donations she had received.

Shi Xuejiao explained that she had already solved the problem of Sun Xiaohao's medical expenses, so the money would not be needed.

Some of the donors accepted the refund, while others refused to accept it. Some even blocked Shi Xuejiao, leaving them with no way to get their money back.

However, all the donors praised Shi Xuejiao's character. This relieved Shi Xuejiao, who had lost a huge sum of money, from the psychological burden and also gave her psychological satisfaction in another sense.

This kind of satisfaction is completely different from the satisfaction bought from her family, and it also opens the door to a new world for her.

She was extremely glad for her decision. She was almost, just almost, about to become a stain on the lives of the two children. Fortunately, everything was still in time.
