"Alright, alright, why are you guys quarreling for no reason?" Lin Weihan hurriedly stopped the fight and brought a plate of cherries to call for Shen Wan to eat.
"It's okay, thank you for your kindness, Teacher Lin. I'm already very grateful that you guys can help me bandage my wound. I still have some urgent matters to attend to at home, so I won't disturb you any longer!" Shen Wan waved her hand and stood up to leave.
Seeing that she could not persuade Shen Wan to stay, Lin Weihan could only say, "Well, my nephew's house is close to yours anyway. I'll be coming here often to see him. So come over and play more often when you have time!"
"Yes, yes!" Shen Wan made a sound of acknowledgment and turned to look at Xu Heng again. She found that he had already turned his wheelchair around and was deliberately not looking at her as if he was angry at her.
Why is this big shot acting like a child?! Shen Wan was slightly depressed.
However, towards her benefactor, Shen Wan was willing to use her greatest patience at hand. After all, Xu Heng had helped her so much, so it was not impossible for her to be more understanding of him.
After seeing Shen Wan leave, Zhou Cong pushed Xu Heng to the study on the second floor. He prepared to make him tea as usual to ease his depressed mood.
However, Xu Heng looked out the window and suddenly asked, "How did Shen Wan get those injuries? "
According to his impression of Shen Wan, this little girl was not one to be at a disadvantage. Would she be bullied by others?
Zhou Cong brought over a cup of steaming hot tea and replied, "The one on her arm was cut by a knife, the one on her back was scratched by nails, and the one on her leg was hit by a hard object. She must have fought with someone. I had heard of Shen Wan's name a while ago, but I didn't think that she would look so gentle and quiet, and not like someone who would fight."
"How do you know her?" Xu Heng raised his eyebrows.
Knowing that Xu Heng had misunderstood him, Zhou Cong quickly explained, "I don't know her. I've only heard of her. It's spread all over the surrounding villages. I only found out about it when I overheard a few aunties chatting the other day.
"Some time ago, Shen Wan's family was attacked by a group of hooligans called by a relative. It seemed that the relative wanted her father's compensation for his son to marry a wife, and if he didn't give it, they would destroy the house. In the end, not only did Shen Wan scold the relative, but she also beat up all the hooligans by herself and drove them all away! There was even some bloodshed at that time, and it was a big deal."
"She's that strong and powerful?" This was the first time Xu Heng had heard of such a thing, and his expression was a little strange.
Zhou Cong was also from the countryside. He relied on his own efforts to become Xu Heng's assistant, so he was very empathetic toward Shen Wan's situation. He couldn't help but explain on behalf of Shen Wan.
"Sir, you might not know about this. The people here are like this. As long as no lives are lost, the police won't care about family matters. Whoever has the stronger fist has the right to speak.
"Usually, the family with more sons is more powerful. The four children in Shen Wan's family are all daughters, so they are often bullied. I think that Shen Wan was forced to use fire to fight against fire."
After hearing Zhou Cong's words, Xu Heng did not say anything else. He looked at the mountains in the distance and fell into deep thought.
On the other side.
When Shen Wan returned home, Deng Ying and the other two quickly came to welcome her. Seeing her dressed in bandages, Deng Ying's heart ached so much that she wanted to cry again.
Shen Wan hurriedly interrupted Deng Ying's crying. She proudly took out a stack of money from her pocket and handed it to her. She said, "Look! This is the seven thousand dollars that your brother borrowed from us four years ago. I got it back!"
Holding the thick stack of money, Deng Ying was in a daze. Even Shen Gang had not expected that the money would be returned like this. "S-shen Wan, how did you get it? "
Shen Qiang and his gang were like hungry dogs. Once the meat entered their mouths, there was no possibility of them spitting it out.
When he had lent Shen Qiang money, he did not write a receipt for evidence. When Shen Wan said that there was a receipt, it was purely to scare them. In reality, other than the fact that both parties knew in their hearts, there was no other evidence of this money going in and out of that family.
However, it was precisely this money that Shen Gang thought he would never get back that was brought back by Shen Wan, and even with an additional four hundred dollars interest. Shen Gang felt like he was in a fever dream.
After Shen Wan described in detail how she had beaten Shen Qiang's family into submission and how she had taken revenge on the Chai family, Deng Ying and Shen Gang had expressions of sudden realization.
Of course, Shen Yue omitted some dangerous parts of the story so that they would not be worried to death when they heard about it.
Seeing her parents holding the money that they had lost and recovered excitedly, Shen Wan coughed lightly and decided to speak of the matter that she had considered for a long time. "Father, Mother, in any case, our house has been destroyed and can no longer be lived in. Now that we have the money to build a new house, why don't we make a farmhouse?"
A farmhouse?
