Chapter 139: I am itching for the novel that appeared inexplicably
Everyone in the Wang family knew that Ning Lianyi was not valued by Wang Qiaozhen, and Wang Li, who lived with Ning Lianyi, of course knew it too.
He puts on more airs in front of her than anyone else.
She was even asked to do the work of a nanny from time to time, as if she was playing the role of a rich lady and a maid.
Li Wenshu was a little curious, "What did you say to her and she really went there?"
Don’t you think about whether Wang Qiaozhen is someone who can be easily messed with?
Ning Lianyi said: "Don't overestimate their intelligence. In fact, they are no different from seven or eight-year-old children. They will follow the traffickers if you give them a piece of candy."
"I didn't say anything. I just said that other rich men are old and ugly, and they are good at sex. They can seduce but not get out of bed. It's better to kiss your husband (my aunt's husband is called uncle) so that you can sleep peacefully."
"..."
Damn it.
What a talented family.
Li Wenshu twirled his umbrella and fell silent.
After walking a few steps, Li Wenshu suddenly knew where Ning Lianyi was going.
This path leads to a cemetery where people who died in nearby villages are buried.
"Are you going to see someone? Then I won't go with you. I'll go first."
Ning Lianyi walked forward a few steps silently, the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded. She stopped moving forward, stood where she was, but still couldn't help looking back.
She didn't look away until Li Wenshu's back disappeared in the heavy snow.
Looking at the hill of graves, he lowered his eyes.
...
Li Wenshu returned home covered in frost.
Xie Pan scolded, "Why can't we watch the snow at any time? Why do we have to go out when it's snowing? Your hands must be frozen. Use a hot water bottle to warm your hands. You won't even be able to hold up your pen when you do your homework."
Shi Wan brought a bowl of hot soup to Li Wenshu and said, "No matter what I say, he won't listen. This child has grown up and has his own ideas."
"Hey, don't say that, dear. Look at those kids outside, rolling around in the snow. We just went out to take a look, and you still have to say anything when we're so obedient."
Shi Wan rolled her eyes, "How old are those kids outside? How old is she?"
Shi Weiyu sat down next to Li Wenshu, separating her from Shi Wan. "Let me tell you something. I just went out to get some gossip for you. The Wang family had been staying indoors. I don't know what they were discussing inside."
"I stood in the corner and listened. There was smashing things and shouting and cursing inside. Li Hui ran out cursing. I saw him drive away in the heavy snow."
"It's so funny, are they just going to abandon the mother and daughter here?"
Shi Wan patted Shi Weiyu on the shoulder and said, "That's enough. Just chat for a few minutes. Why are you eavesdropping? If someone sees you, what will happen?"
"No one saw me. I was very careful."
Shi Weiyu also knew that it was not good to say too much. It was okay to mention such things occasionally, but if she said too much it would seem like they cared too much. After all, it had nothing to do with them.
She quickly changed the subject, "My dear, what did you see when you went out for a stroll?"
Li Wenshu confessed honestly, "...Oh yes, I also ran into someone I know, Ning Lianyi, you know mom."
Shi Weiyu didn't recognize them, so she quickly asked who they were, fearing that there was something they knew that she didn't know.
Shi Wan briefly recounted the day when Li Wenshu brought people back to rest.
Shi Weiyu frowned, "The mistress's daughter can be thrown on the street, why are you taking her back?"
Li Wenshu couldn't say that he had received someone's favor in his previous life, he could only vaguely say that they were classmates.
Xie Pan tapped Shi Weiyu and said, "That child is different from other people. She is quite pitiful."
Shi Weiyu touched the place where she was hit, "How pitiful can it be."
Xie Pan shook his head. "I also heard it from others. This girl has never had a good life since she was born. Her parents are not good people. They originally planned to abandon the child on the roadside after she was born, but at that time, such cases were severely punished, and the couple did not have the courage to do it."
"They didn't take good care of the child after bringing him home. They despised him because he wasn't a son. My husband's family didn't recognize the child. He had nothing to eat and no clothes to wear when he was born. It was the aunt next door who couldn't stand it so she gave him an old piece of clothing to wrap him up. He was also given a name by someone else."
"Her father, a second-rate guy, who drank and gambled all day after he lost his job. He beat his wife and children when he came home. The girl from the Wang family is not the kind of person who will be beaten. When she was about to be beaten, she ran away and pushed her child over to be beaten."
Xie Pan sighed. This kind of thing was actually very common in rural areas. Men would beat their wives and children after getting drunk. After nightfall, the crying of women and children could often be heard.
Neighbors and fellow villagers will also help, but most of them are just there to watch. A few will try to dissuade them, but they can only stop it temporarily, not forever.
Even when she was young, she was often beaten. After being beaten, she would be persuaded to stop doing so. They said that it was a necessary experience for women and that when men get older, they will not do it anymore. She just needs to endure it until then.
"I heard that there was a time when someone was almost killed. The villagers pooled money to send the girl to the hospital. She would have died later."
"Fortunately, the man died not long after."
Li Wenshu looked up at the heavy snow outside the window, wondering whether the road to the cemetery would be difficult to walk on.

Shen Junyi has been scratching his head all night.
Just because of the book that someone left on her desk.
Because of the special name of the catalog, she couldn't resist her curiosity and started flipping through the novel. She was so addicted that she finished reading the novel before finishing her work.
It would be fine if I had read the whole novel, but this novel only has the first half, the second half is nowhere to be found, and the first part ends at the climax.
Shen Junyi was itching to read the sequel, but she didn't know who the book belonged to. While she was working, her mind was still full of the plot, thinking about the subsequent development and what unexpected plot the author would write.
What kind of reversal will there be, what kind of actions will the protagonist take...
My mind is full of these things. After finishing my work, I feel empty inside. I hold the book and flip through it, thinking over and over again, and still want to find the owner of this book.
After all, the book is not hers, and it is not a good idea for it to stay with her forever. She is not the kind of person who would take away someone else's favorite thing. The novel is exquisitely packaged, and it is obvious that it is the owner's favorite. Isn't it normal for her to help someone find her lost beloved thing and return it to its original owner?
And she, as the boss of the owner of this novel, forgave her employee's small mistake and took the initiative to return the items, so it would not be too much to ask her for a follow-up.
She just borrowed it to take a look, it's not like she would not return it.
Thinking of this, Shen Junyi decided to wait until everyone at work arrived and then ask who the book belonged to.
Shen Junyi waited with great anticipation until the working hour. This was the first time that she wanted to see her colleagues who deserved a beating so much.
