The days in winter are very short, and it becomes gray already after three o'clock. The sun is faltering, as if it will fall into the valley at any time.
"Aren't you happy?" Li Siwen's voice was as gentle as cotton candy, and she couldn't help but give him the greatest care.
"No...no." Zhou Wenjing lowered her head and said.
"Daddy, mommy is not happy." Xiaoni reminded from the side.
"If you still don't admit it, my daughter has noticed it." Li Siwen said with a smile, put Xiaoni on the ground, then clapped his hands and said: "Xiaoni, go play in front!"
"Yeah!" Xiaoni agreed and ran forward with a bound. Zhou Wenjing quickly reminded from behind: "Run slower, don't fall."
When Xiaoni ran away, Li Siwen looked at Zhou Wenjing and whispered: "If you have anything on your mind, just say it!"
"I...I suddenly don't want to come back here anymore." Zhou Wenjing said slowly.
"Can you let it go?" Li Siwen asked.
Zhou Wenjing did not answer directly. She placed her eyes lightly on Xiaoni. After a while, she said: "I couldn't let go before. Even if I never got love, even if I had to earn my tuition fees by myself, I still feel that here
It’s home, I still feel like they are my parents.”
"I don't blame them for favoring sons over daughters, or their deep-rooted thinking. After all, families in this situation are not uncommon."
"So in the past few years, I have come back every year. Even if I face cold faces, I don't have any complaints. I feel that even if I have a heart of stone, there will be a day when it will be melted. After all, I am their daughter!
"
When Zhou Wenjing said this, she could no longer hold back her tears. This girl who had been indifferent since childhood was still longing for family affection until this moment.
"But...but today, I finally understand." Zhou Wenjing smiled with tears in her eyes, a smile that made people feel heartbroken.
"In their eyes, blood ties and family ties are all bullshit. They only care about money and power. With such a family, why should I come back?"
Li Siwen held Zhou Wenjing in his arms distressedly, and said quietly: "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't come back with you."
"Husband, I don't blame you, I should thank you." Zhou Wenjing raised her head and looked at Li Siwen affectionately: "If it weren't for your appearance, I would still have illusions about this family. It was you who made me see them clearly.
face."
Zhou Wenjing said, lying in Li Siwen's arms and crying loudly, crying very sadly, as if she had cried out all the grievances she had suffered for more than twenty years.
"Mom, Mom, why are you crying? Did Daddy bully you?" At some point, Xiaoni ran over.
"How can Daddy be willing to bully mom?" Li Siwen smiled and touched Xiao Ni's head, and then gently wiped Zhou Wenjing's tears: "I will take you home, back to our own home."
"Well, go home." Zhou Wenjing bit her lip and nodded, finally making up her mind.
"Before I leave, I have one more thing to do," Li Siwen said.
"What's going on?" Zhou Wenjing asked curiously.
"You'll know in a minute." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he took Zhou Wenjing and Xiao Ni's hands and walked towards the town.
After arriving in the town, Li Siwen first called Lin Shu. The other party had already sent him a message in the afternoon that the car was out of stock, so he asked Lin Shu to drive over.
Then, he took Zhou Wenjing to Zhou's house again.
It was already dark at this time, but the lights of the Zhou family were brightly lit, and even the door was not closed. Everyone in the Zhou family was gathered in the living room of the main room, and the table was filled with gifts.
When they saw Li Siwen coming back, everyone was smiling, and they were even more friendly than when they saw the God of Wealth.
"Uncle, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, we are waiting for you two." Zhou Guoliang personally carried the chair and placed it in front of Li Siwen.
Zhou's mother also walked up to Zhou Wenjing and said hypocritically: "Daughter, sit down too. Your eldest brother just went to Zhang Mazi's house to kill a pig. Mom will cook you more dishes tonight and let Xiao Ni eat more."
"
As Zhou's mother said, she touched Xiao Ni's face, but Xiao Ni was so frightened that she ducked back.
"Yes, we eat pig at night." Zhou Jianping said with a smile.
The more everyone behaves like this, the uglier Zhou Wenjing's face becomes, and this hypocritical performance strengthens her determination to leave here.
"We won't eat anymore." Li Siwen spoke first, then looked at Zhou Guoliang and said, "If I remember correctly, when Wen Jing and I got married, you and I asked me for betrothal gifts. How much did they cost?
"
"Sister-in-law, how old is this? What kind of gift do you need? We are satisfied with the happiness you two have." Zhou Guoliang said with a smile.
"Yes, as long as you live well," Zhou's mother also said.
Li Siwen smiled faintly, looking at the coy look of the two of them, he really didn't want to stay for one more second.
"I don't like to owe others anything. I remember you asked for 2,000 at the time. Now, almost five years have passed. I'll give you 20,000. Isn't it a lot?"
After Li Siwen finished speaking, he took out two wads of money from his arms, threw them on the table, and then said calmly: "Thank you for raising Wen Jing."
Everyone's eyes naturally lit up when they saw the money, let alone 20,000 yuan. But what did Li Siwen's words mean?
When everyone was confused, they saw Zhou Wenjing step forward and bow deeply to Zhou Guoliang and his wife, and said with red eyes: "Dad, Mom, this is the last time I call you, and the last time I come back. From now on.
, just treat me as your daughter!"
"Xiao...Xiaojing, you...what are you talking about?" Zhou Guoliang and his wife were shocked.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Wenjing bowed again, covered her face, turned and walked out, while Li Siwen smiled faintly, picked up Xiaoni and followed.
"Where...are you going this late at night?" Zhou's mother wanted to follow her out but was stopped by Zhou Jianping: "Mom, can't you see? She wants to sever ties with the Zhou family. This is a sign of hard work.
It’s over!”
"Isn't it just that there are two bad guys? What are you doing?"
"It's like someone begged her to stay here."
The second and third children realized that the man had gone away, and they roared indignantly.
"Stop arguing, you useless thing." Zhou Guoliang roared angrily and looked at the gifts and 20,000 yuan on the table. He felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't tell what he felt. Zhou's mother also looked at it as if she had lost her soul.
Outside.

In a restaurant in Caozhou City that was still open during the Chinese New Year, Chang Hai ordered the food with some excitement. The person sitting in front of him was none other than Zhang Li, who had recently divorced.
Today Zhang Li is dressed very coquettishly, her red lips seem to have been waxed, making people want to
Take two bites.
Chang Hai's eyes kept falling on Zhang Li. He didn't understand why the other party suddenly came to him...
