Chapter 1508 - 997: Helping All the Way
Today’s update.
-----------------------
Old Master Wan’s words made the smile on Sister-in-law Yin’s face deepen a little, while making Sun Shiqing’s expression darker. Her past intentions were known to everyone, and now, Old Master Wan, in her presence, asked her to call Sister-in-law Yin her sister-in-law, which she really couldn’t bear...
Noticing her discomfort, Sister-in-law Yin proactively sat beside her and warmly held her hand: "Sis, I also had a hard time before, so I completely understand your hardship. Coming over with Elder Wan today is definitely not to laugh at you, nor to declare anything, but sincerely hope to help you."
"I..." Sun Shiqing lowered her head, really not knowing what to say. Could she say she initially wanted to borrow some money from Elder Wan? Or could she say she actually hoped they would take more care of her, help her stand up for herself, allowing her to stay in the Capital City?
As a single woman going alone to a place she doesn’t know well, heaven knows how scared she is inside. But if she continues to stay, one day she might really get beaten to death by that bastard Wang Aigui!
Seeing her hesitating, Sister-in-law Yin continued: "Whatever difficulties you have, just speak out. We are all women; our experiences may not be the same but there are similarities. I came today with Elder Wan purely to help you."
If you feel uncomfortable with me here, I can’t leave, after all, I am now Elder Wan’s wife. The past rumors about you and Elder Wan are still there. If I avoid this, it’s not good for you or Elder Wan."
"Sister-in-law..." Sun Shiqing turned to look at Sister-in-law Yin, her eyes full of guilt and remorse, "Sorry, I did so poorly before, yet you’re so kind to me, I... I really have no face to face you."
"Ah!" Sister-in-law Yin sighed, "You’ve been intimidated before, hoping for a stable life; I do not blame you."
"Yes, I have indeed been scared of his beating..." Sun Shiqing rolled up her sleeves, revealing the bruises on her arms, "He did all this. He is such a bastard, always beating where clothes cover. My whole body is like this."
Before, he could still control his strength a bit. Now, he’s getting more brutal. If this continues, I fear I’ll die by his hand someday. Although life feels meaningless, I can’t resign myself to being beaten to death by him.
Sister-in-law, I’m not hiding from you, among all the people around here, only your Elder Wan truly wants to help me; otherwise, I wouldn’t shamelessly visit your home."
To be honest, Elder Wan is the only person I can plead with. I have a cousin in H Province, and she mentioned that farms there are hiring; I want to go to her, but..." She bit her lip in distress, "But all my money was taken by Wang Aigui, so..."
"How much do you need?" Sister-in-law Yin took out her wallet from her pocket. "I seem to have only a bit over a hundred, is it enough?" She looked at Elder Wan, "Did you bring any money?"
"No."
Elder Wan felt a bit at a loss, is his wife too open-handed? It’s not that he minds the money, but after all, given Sun Shiqing’s previous lack of discretion, he is still somewhat speechless seeing his wife so quickly forgive and willingly help her.
However, from another perspective, wasn’t it her kindness that made him willing to marry her?
Sun Shiqing shook her head repeatedly: "No need for so much, just fifty is enough. I’ve asked around, the ticket costs a bit over thirty, and when I first get there, there’s no pay, so I need to save half a month’s living expenses, then I can start receiving wages."
Sister-in-law, don’t worry, once I start receiving wages, I’ll save up part of it every month, and by the end of the year, I’ll definitely repay both the principal and interest to you."
"Look at you, not even knowing the situation over there yet, why rush to discuss repayment?" Sister-in-law Yin looked at her seriously, "Once you get there, observe the situation first. If it’s not feasible, come back; after all, you’ve lived in the Capital City for so many years, you’re more familiar here and have more friends than over there."
At that time, you just shouldn’t stay around here anymore, regarding your ex-husband, he can’t possibly track your every move like a spy, can he?"
"Sister-in-law..." Sun Shiqing now truly didn’t know what to say; she never thought Sister-in-law Yin would treat her this way. When she first saw her, she indeed felt she came to laugh at her.
Even in her heart, there was resentment towards Sister-in-law Yin. Why could someone not as young or as beautiful as her win Elder Wan’s favor?
Moreover, she had already heard Sister-in-law Yin was initially Elder Wan’s housekeeper before having the opportunity to become his wife, so it seemed her background wasn’t better than her own.
Which is the real root of her ongoing unwillingness.
But right now, as she truly interacts with the other party, she realizes just how wildly mistaken she was. How could someone as wise as Old Master Wan casually marry someone?
"Xiao Sun, live well from now on, don’t make any more mistakes..." Old Master Wan sighed, looking seriously at Sun Shiqing, "I know you don’t harbor any ill will towards me. You were driven by life to make such moves, but only standing upright and walking straight can earn respect.
If it weren’t for your sister-in-law insisting on coming to find you, I wouldn’t have planned to meddle in your affairs, and even in the future, I don’t intend to meddle in other people’s business. What was originally a good intention, ended up causing unnecessary troubles. You tell me, would I dare to interfere in the future?
However, your sister-in-law’s actions just now did make me reflect on myself; one shouldn’t stop eating for fear of choking, nor can one expect others to be flawless. The key is to correct one’s mistakes.
As long as you live honestly and seriously from now on, we won’t ignore you if you need help. After all, you’ve had a tough time.
If you don’t want to leave the Capital City, you can stay. We can help you find a job. As for your husband, if he comes looking for you and hurts you again, you can call the police immediately. This time, I won’t let him off easily."
Sun Shiqing showed a hint of happiness in her eyes, but thinking about Sister-in-law Yin’s attitude towards her, she felt awkward accepting help so openly and refused, "Old Master Wan, I should first go see my cousin.
Considering my previous mistakes, if you intervene to help now, others might gossip, especially someone like Wang Aigui. Despite being a man, he’s really gossipy and shameless, saying whatever he likes. You’ve been so good to me, I can’t drag you into this."
Old Master Wan nodded, "Alright, then go to H Province first. If you really can’t stay there, come back and find a job as your sister-in-law suggested and live a steady life. You can consider us as family, like a brother and sister-in-law."
...
"You guys..." Chuxia looked at Sister-in-law Yin, feeling speechless. With the magnanimity of someone like Sister-in-law Yin and Old Master Wan, she felt she could never possess it in her lifetime.
Especially Sister-in-law Yin, who despite being provoked before, could still sincerely offer her help now. Isn’t she too easy-going? The key point is, will it become like the story of the farmer and the snake?
"Don’t look at me like I’m an idiot..." Sister-in-law Yin sighed, reaching out to rub Chuxia’s head, "I’m not naturally without temper, but I understand well what Sun Shiqing’s life is like.
To put it this way, before I was transferred to Old Master Wan’s side, my life was very similar to hers. The only difference was I didn’t have a husband who would hit me for no reason.
But people’s judgmental eyes and gossip were the same, I didn’t dare talk to any man, even if it was just for work, people would misunderstand..."
"Aunt Yin, Sun Shiqing is not like you..." Chuxia interrupted her, "Firstly, she intentionally approached Grandpa Wan, knowing he had a fiancée, and wanted to disrupt.
Secondly, even if there were occasional gossip, it was because she wasn’t careful enough. If she behaved like you, surely no one would gossip about her.
Based on these points, you shouldn’t compare her situation with yours. They are completely different, aren’t they? Don’t you feel you’re being too kind-hearted?
Grandpa Wan as well, having suffered from her once, why listen to you and help her again? You might be confused, but why is he confused too? No way, I have to warn him later..."
"Stop talking nonsense..." Zhao Yulan helplessly interrupted her daughter, "People of your age and people of our age handle things differently.
You’ll understand why Sister-in-law Yin does this when you reach this age. Alright, stop worrying about it. Grandpa Wan has already decided, so just let it be."
Though feeling deeply unsatisfied, Chuxia had no choice but to listen to her mother. If she didn’t, her mom wouldn’t let her go to school... It was too much, she was pregnant, how could they treat her like this...
Moreover, she firmly believed she was right. Why be courteous to someone who wants to ruin your family like a mistress? Shouldn’t people be responsible for their wrongdoings? Why should others sympathize just because they want it?
In the afternoon, after going to school, Chuxia shared her thoughts with a few of her girlfriends and got unanimous approval. They all agreed Sister-in-law Yin was too easy-going, it was plainly inviting trouble!
"It’s not that serious, the woman went to H Province, she can’t cause trouble." Chuxia looked at Lin Mengran who was excitedly speaking, "If she could still cause trouble from over there, she’d have to be a Divine Wolf."
"I’m just making an analogy, not really saying she’s a wolf..." Lin Mengran rolled her eyes at her, "You’re only concerned about your family elders and don’t care at all about my matters. I haven’t spoken to Zuo Jiang in days, have you noticed?"(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
