Chapter 7: Did she borrow the money to buy things?
Anning has never raised a child and doesn't know how a child's brain works. She clearly didn't do anything, so why could she connect it to the fact that her mother didn't want her?
Anning had no choice but to quickly pull the person back into her arms and comfort them.
“How could Mommy not want Ni’er? Ni’er is Mommy’s only precious baby. Even if Daddy didn’t want her, he wouldn’t abandon our little Ni’er.”
"really?"
The little girl sniffed, her voice still thick with nasal tone.
"Of course! It was Mommy's fault before, I didn't dare to stand up to Grandma, and you suffered because of me. Mommy promises that I will never let anyone bully you again!"
"No!" Little Nier hugged Anning tightly, burying her head in her arms. "Mommy is fine, Mommy was fine before too."
Hearing the little girl's innocent words, An Ning couldn't help but smile.
After coaxing her for a while, they finally put the little girl back on the bed.
"Just now, Mom wanted to discuss something with you. Mom wants to take you away from Grandma's house and live on your own. What do you think?"
"Leaving Grandma's house? You won't have to live with Grandma, Aunt, and Da Bao anymore?"
“Yes.” An Ning nodded.
"That's great!" Little Ni laughed happily. "That way, Mom won't be bullied anymore."
Anning's eyes reddened upon hearing this, regretting that she hadn't transmigrated sooner so that Nizi would have suffered less. She calmed herself down and continued, "Then there's Dad."
"dad?"
Anning could clearly sense that Xiaoni'er was unfamiliar with this title.
That's true. Although that man sends money every month, he has never come back to visit her even once since she was born.
“Mom wants to divorce Dad,” Anning said.
What is divorce?
"It means that Mom doesn't want to be with Dad anymore, and the only way to separate is to divorce him."
"After Mom and Dad divorce, can I still live with Mom?"
"of course can."
"Then let's get a divorce!" the little girl shouted.
Anning smiled and shook her head, saying, "Although you are still young, Mom doesn't want you to regret it later, so I still need to make it clear to you."
When Song Wenyuan married Shen Anning, he was the deputy company commander. Later, when Song Wenying bullied Shen Anning, she let slip that Song Wenyuan wrote back saying that when he was promoted to company commander, he would apply to the army to let his wife and daughter accompany him.
Song Wenyuan couldn't have made such a statement without a clear purpose; he might have already been preparing for a promotion when he wrote the letter.
A 25-year-old company commander may not be the youngest in the army, but his future prospects are definitely not bad.
Anning continued, "Dad has never come back all these years because he is protecting our country. With them protecting us from the outside world, we can live a peaceful life. Dad actually loves you and sends money back to you every month."
“But Grandma said that the money Dad sent back all belonged to Da Bao, and I never used his money.” The little girl couldn’t help but hug her mother again. “He didn’t protect me and Mom either.”
Hearing Anning's words, Anning chuckled again.
Yes, although Song Wenyuan has been sending money home, neither the original owner nor Xiao Ni'er has enjoyed that money, has they?
He's a promising military officer. After his divorce, plenty of people wanted to introduce him to potential partners, and many were willing to have his children. He doesn't need two women.
Anning made up her mind: "Then after we go back, Mom will take you to find Dad to get a divorce."
"I want to stay with my mom forever!"
"Okay, we'll be together forever!"
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, Anning took Xiaonier to the hospital to see the test results. Both of them had malnutrition problems, but there were no other major illnesses.
After packing four large meat buns from the state-run restaurant, Anning and Xiaoni'er embarked on their journey back.
I've been away for four days now, it's time to go back and settle things with the Song family.
Qinghe Town, textile factory, staff dormitory.
The woman with big, wavy hair knocked on Song Wenying's door again, but it was Hao Ren who opened it.
Hao Ren's eyes lingered on the woman like sticky spider silk, a flamboyant smile on his face. He grabbed the woman who was about to leave and said, "Yuzhen, I've already told you, Wenying has gone back to her parents' home and won't be back for a while. I've seen you come here several times already, so you can tell me what's wrong. I'll tell her when she gets back."
Liu Yuzhen and Song Wenying were close classmates when they were in school. Song Wenying even wanted to introduce her to her second brother, who was an officer in the army, but Shen Anning beat her to it.
Therefore, the two often got together to talk badly about Shen Anning and try to make her life at home difficult.
Later, they each started their own families. Liu Yuzhen just couldn't bring herself to like her husband, Song Wenying, and their contact gradually decreased.
If Song Wenying hadn't been absent several times, she would never have been alone with Song Wenying's husband.
Liu Yuzhen struggled symbolically for a moment, then followed Hao Ren into the house.
After entering the house, Hao Ren first washed some fruit for her, then brewed some hot tea. He sat down next to Liu Yuzhen and warmly greeted her, "There's nothing good left in the house, so please don't be shy!"
Fruit is indeed a rare treat in the dead of winter, but Liu Yuzhen wasn't interested in the wrinkled apples, nor did she like the tea bags she'd taken from the hotel, so she didn't even glance at them and went straight to the point.
"Actually, I didn't come here for anything. I just saw Wenying's second sister-in-law shopping at the department store when I was in the county. She bought several hundred yuan worth of things. I came back to visit my parents these past few days, and I thought I'd ask if her second brother has returned."
While listening to Liu Yuzhen speak, Hao Ren poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then exaggeratedly shook his head and smacked his lips, as if the tea was exceptionally good.
"She hasn't come back. If her second brother were back, he would definitely come home for dinner. A few days ago, her second sister-in-law came to us to borrow money, saying that..."
At this point, Hao Ren froze.
Yes, just a few days ago, her second sister-in-law borrowed six hundred yuan and then immediately went to the department store in the county town to buy things.
So, the money for buying things is...
Liu Yuzhen wasn't stupid; she quickly understood what Hao Ren said.
So, Shen Anning borrowed the money from Song Wenying?
Liu Yuzhen, who always felt that Shen Anning had stolen her man and was filled with resentment, decided to add fuel to the fire.
She feigned surprise and said, "What? How could there be such a person? Taking borrowed money to spend at a department store? Someone who would do something like that is probably someone who won't pay back the money!"
Hao Ren's face immediately darkened: "She came to Wen Ying and said that her child was sick and she needed to borrow six hundred yuan. We didn't think much of it and lent it to her."
That's six hundred yuan!
He and Song Wenying together only make a little over seventy yuan a month, or six hundred yuan. It would take them almost a year to save up without eating or drinking!
Moreover, the factory is going to take back the house they are currently living in, as they will have many other expenses in the future.
Right, wasn't Shen Anning always so timid and submissive? Last time she came, her attitude seemed a bit off. Oh no! Could it be that Shen Anning couldn't stand life in the Song family and came to borrow money to run away?
Many women in rural areas run away because they can't stand the poverty in their families!
Thinking of this, Hao Ren immediately stood up: "No, I have to go to the brigade!"
