Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

Chapter 128 - Second Meeting (3)

“What could you do, right? The other side had both witnesses and evidence. So he went to jail for a few years. And this was only because some of his buddies from back in the military helped him out. Otherwise, he might still be in jail right now. Now he has lost his job and severed his ties with his father’s side. The worst part was that his grandmother, who was the only one nice to him, died when he was in jail. He didn’t even get to see her one last time.

When he returned, he cried outside the house on his knees. It was heart aching just listening to it. The house next door belonged to Third Aunty’s sister-in-law. She’s a very nice person, but she, too, had a rough life. She lost both her son and her daughter-in-law. Even her only grandson died in the military. He was a buddy of Feng Zeyu from the military. It was said that one of them died and the other was severely injured during the incident.

All in all, after Feng Zeyu returned from the military, he treated the old lady like his own grandmother. The old lady treated him as if he’s her own grandson as well. She was the one who picked him up personally when he returned. Words also had it that Feng Zeyu had moved his household register under her and even said that he will change his surname to the old lady’s and be her real grandson... but that’s just from words of mouth.”

“I think that’s great. I wouldn’t want parents like that either.” Only kind fathers would have filial sons. What was the point of having a father like that? If it was her, she’d change her surname to be a family with the old lady too.

“Well, it’s more complicated than that. Words on the streets were awful. It was said that he only wanted to be the old lady’s son for the house. And many others also said that he was a murderer. His reputation is pretty bad in this area. That and he has a scar on his face, which was why he is still single at 35.” Lin Hui sighed and shook her head.

Shu Yan felt bad about that as well. A person who could have a bright future turned out like this because of something that he didn’t do.

“Oh, right, do you want to...” Lin Hui hesitated for a bit before she shook her head again. “Never mind. Nothing.”

“Oh, just tell me.” It was worse when she didn’t finish saying what she had wanted to.

“What I wanted to say was that the house next door has multiple rooms. Perhaps you can rent one for the time being, but....” Lin Hui really wanted to ask Shu Yan where her husband was. Her life would have been easier if she wasn’t a single woman with two children. “Never mind. If you move in with Feng Zeyu with two children, the rumors would be awful.”

Shu Yan felt very speechless. If this was her time in the future, there were many single males and single females renting a place together. Many of the houses were converted into 7 ~ 8 single rooms and rented by both males and females. There were never issues like this.

But the times were different. Things were more conservative right now. She may not care about it herself, but she needed to keep her children in mind. Both of her kids were attending school here, and this place was pretty close to the school. Rumors like that would negatively impact her kids.

As she wasn’t able to find a place just yet, she put her hopes on Lao Hu. Shu Yan looked at the time and it was already past 11 AM. She had planned to visit her daughter, but she figured she’d have already had lunch over at Teacher Liu’s; it’s best if she didn’t go to disturb them. She took Tianbao to a noodle restaurant by the grade school for a quick lunch. Tianbao spit it back out after just one bite.

“Mommy. It’s too sweet.”

Shu Yan tried a bite quietly. It was alright to her, but not so much for the two children. As she recalled how her daughter said this place was tasty even though she probably didn’t like the food, Shu Yan’s eyes reddened and her heart ached. She had no idea what life was like for her over at her teacher’s place. Her daughter wasn’t the type to complain even if days were rough. One way or another, she needed to find a place soon so she could take Jingjing back.
