Chapter 170: Chapter 9 Dong Fei_2
Han Shouzhen couldn’t resist the temptation and nodded, "Then I’ll have to trouble you."
After Lin Xiaoguai finished mending the insole of the shoe, Han Shouzhen asked, "Wanwan, do you always stay at home without working?" Han Shouxin hadn’t told her much about Shen Chi’s family, fearing that she would be disturbed if she knew about the hardships Shen Chi had endured.
Han Shouzhen’s tone carried disapproval. It wasn’t that she cared about money, but she felt that unless it was a case like hers, where her health didn’t permit and she had to take care of her son, it was better for a woman to have her own job. Staying at home all the time could limit one’s perspective.
"I’m going to enroll at Capital University this September," Lin Xiaoguai replied.
"You’re a student at Capital University?" Han Shouzhen was thrilled. She didn’t have high expectations for this country girl who had married her brother, as long as she was good to him. After observing her twice, Lin Xiaoguai had far exceeded her expectations. The reason she had asked that earlier was to help her find a job, but she didn’t expect to receive such a wonderful surprise.
Lin Xiaoguai nodded, "I was admitted before getting married, but then I had Little Niangao and took three years off. Last year, I made up one more year."
Han Shouzhen was now overjoyed, thinking her little brother really had an eye for people—having even snagged a Capital University student. Even in their Capital city, getting into Capital University was something to be proud of, right?
If she remembered correctly, the top scores of Z Province were nationally high?
"Wanwan, how many points did you score on the college entrance exam?"
"I don’t know." Not waiting for Han Shouzhen to be disappointed, Lin Xiaoguai added, "But I was the top humanities student in our province that year, so the score mustn’t have been low."
She truly didn’t know. Not to mention the many years that had passed, the scores weren’t published back then. She only knew whether she had been admitted or not, and without certain connections, one wouldn’t even know their own score.
"Really!?" Han Shouzhen was now even more excited, thinking her brother had such good judgment and that her nephew would surely be bright as well.
But after the excitement settled, Han Shouzhen thought of something, "Wanwan, what will you do with Little Niangao when you go to university? The first year of university is compulsory to live on campus."
"Shanghai has early childhood education and kindergartens, doesn’t Capital have them?" Lin Xiaoguai inquired.
"I don’t know about that. I’ll have my brother inquire," Han Shouzhen said. "Even if there is one, what about the child’s pickup and drop-off from school? It can’t be left to Han Shoulv to handle, right?"
Lin Xiaoguai was also troubled, as this was indeed a difficult problem.
"How about I handle it?" Han Shouzhen volunteered enthusiastically, "I have nothing much to do anyway, and Ping’an doesn’t go to school, so I can pick up and drop off Little Niangao."
Her little brother had finally been found, and both Han Shouzhen and Han Shouxin wanted to make up for the lost time. While Han Shouzhen could help Shen Chi in his career, she felt at a loss on other matters. She wasn’t going to let go of this rare opportunity, was she?
"We’ll see when the time comes. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to trouble you, sister," Lin Xiaoguai didn’t give a definite answer. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Han Shouzhen, but the latter’s mental state did worry her. To be on the safe side, she planned to call Han Shouxin. If it wasn’t feasible, she could find an excuse later on.
Unaware of Lin Xiaoguai’s thoughts, Han Shouzhen nodded, "Then let’s settle on that."
Meanwhile, as Shen Chi’s family grew closer to Han Shouxin and Han Shouzhen, certain others were starting to feel uneasy.
Slam—
Liu Yuzhi, despite trying to hold back, ended up smashing the antique teapot next to her.
"Mom!?" Dong Fei jumped in fright and felt heartbroken at the sight of the shattered pieces on the floor. Yet, considering her mother-in-law’s authority, she didn’t dare say anything and instead tried to console her, "Who made Mom angry? Please don’t take it to heart. If it affects your health, not only will I be distressed, but so will Shouyi and Longlong."
Liu Yuzhi’s expression softened somewhat, and Dong Fei breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that bringing up her husband and son would always somewhat soothe her mother-in-law, no matter how angry she was.
Liu Yuzhi sighed, "If it weren’t for Shouyi and Longlong, would I let myself be angered like this?"
Her hand shook as she took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea spilled on the table.
It seemed that the events of the past were becoming difficult to conceal.
She looked at Dong Fei, hesitated, and finally decided to tell her. Her son was a researcher who cared little for worldly matters, liked to reason in everything, and was not very self-serving; she definitely couldn’t tell him. Otherwise, there was no saying whether he would drag her to his father to confess and seek leniency.
But her daughter-in-law... Liu Yuzhi bit her lip. Her grandson was born, tying her firmly to their family. Even if she knew the truth, it seemed she wouldn’t be able to do much.
With Han Shouxin present, any action she wanted to take would require her daughter-in-law’s maternal family’s help.
Putting aside her pride as a mother-in-law, Liu Yuzhi explained the past events in detail.
Dong Fei did not expect to find out such a shocking secret—her husband was an illegitimate child? Her mother-in-law was a shameful mistress? Her own son couldn’t even be considered a legitimate grandson of the Han family!?
Clutching her chest, she struggled to catch her breath, thinking of the glory she had garnered over the years for marrying into the Han family, and the conscience-stricken deeds she did for the sake of making the Han family’s wealth hers... Dong Fei wished she could faint at that moment.
But Liu Yuzhi dropped an even bigger bombshell—
"Now that Han Shoulv is coming back, he will surely guess the truth about the past since I have tried several times to kill him. Han Shouxin was also involved. If the old man finds out what I have done, it doesn’t matter what happens to me, but what about Shouyi and Longlong?"
