Chapter 221: The Abacus Beads Hit My Face
Shen Jingjing had already let go of the grievances and grudges that happened with the Fu family.
At that time, she had to raise three children and was unable to separate herself, and had no energy to entangle with the Fu family.
Now that so many years have passed, for Shen Jingjing, no matter how the elders were before, they are old now. If they really miss their grandson, she won't stop Xingxing from going back to see them.
Fu Kang looked at Shen Jingjing, his eyes full of complex emotions. Although he didn't have much intersection with Shen Jingjing, he could see from the things that happened back then that although this woman looked slow, gentle, and friendly in speaking and doing things, she was actually stubborn and strong in her bones.
Otherwise, how could she raise three children alone?
And raised them so well!
In the final analysis, it was the third brother who had no luck, and it was their Fu family who had no luck.
Fu Kang sighed, his tone hard to hide his sigh. "Jingjing, I really don't have the face to say these words to you, but the child is ultimately Xiao Jun's. I want Xingxing to go to his dad's grave to kowtow. Do you think it's okay?"
These words fell into Shen Ci's ears, making her roll her eyes.
Shen Jingjing's face also became ugly. She subconsciously looked at her daughter and responded unhappily, "Eldest brother said this, let Xingxing go back to recognize his ancestors, but not the granddaughters? That's right... if they recognized the granddaughters back then, the things behind wouldn't have happened, and Fu Jun wouldn't have died."
She didn't want to mention the old accounts of the past, but the Fu family's way of doing things was really disgusting.
Shen Ci felt sorry for her mother and immediately showed a careless sneer. "How fresh, I haven't seen my grandparents in twenty years. I didn't treat myself as a Fu family member, I follow Shen. If Xingxing wants to go back, he can go back. That's his own will. The Fu family doesn't want to recognize me, and I will never go back."
"I'm not going back!"
Shen Xing looked angry and looked at Fu Kang. "Uncle, please bring a message back. The one who gave birth to me is my mom, the one who raised me is my mom, and I will never do anything that makes my mom disappointed and sad in my life."
"Xingxing, your grandparents are old, they..."
"They are not short of grandsons." Shen Xing interrupted Fu Kang's words and looked at him earnestly. "But my mom only has me as a son!"
Fu Kang was speechless for a moment. Xingxing was not small anymore and had his own independent thinking and consciousness. He couldn't treat him like a child, saying two good words to coax him back.
He looked at Shen Jingjing for help. "Jingjing, look, just treat it as pitying the elders."
"Uncle, don't moral kidnap here. My mom pities the elders, who has pitied my mom for so many years?" Shen Ci said.
Seeing that Shen Ci was really angry, Shen Jingjing raised her hand and patted her daughter gently to show that she was fine, and then turned to look at Fu Kang. "Eldest brother, no one can force this matter. I respect Xingxing's will. If he wants to go back, he can go back. I will never stop him. But if he doesn't want to go back, no one can force him to go back."
Fu Kang had expected this result early on.
Why did they have to do it in the first place?
He was speechless for a long time, and finally nodded. "All right, Xingxing is big and has his own ideas. I, as an uncle, have no qualifications to say other things."
Saying this, he took out three red envelopes from his pocket. "I just thought it must be a white trip, it's New Year, give the children some red envelopes."
"I don't want it!" Xingxing turned his head and didn't even look at it.
Shen Ci also said, "Uncle should take it back. I haven't received a red envelope from the Fu family for so many years, and there will be no involvement or contact in the future."
Shen Li looked at her sister and then at her younger brother, still not saying a word.
Fu Kang stood up and said with a bitter face, "Don't treat Uncle as an enemy, just a good omen, and it's also your grandparents' heart, don't have so many thoughts."
Saying this, he greeted Shen Jingjing and walked out. "Then I'll go back first."
Shen Jingjing didn't keep him for dinner, just sent him to the door, and thanked Fu Kang at the moment of parting.
Fu Kang was stunned. "Why are you thanking me?"
Shen Jingjing smiled bitterly. "This red envelope was given by the elders, it must have been given to Xingxing alone. I know them too well. You secretly divided it into three parts, right, eldest brother?"
Unexpectedly, this could also be guessed by Shen Jingjing. Fu Kang was embarrassed and smiled bitterly. "The elders can't get over the hurdle, but the Fu family is not all unreasonable people. Don't take it to heart. You've worked hard for so many years."
Shen Jingjing smiled and shook her head. "Then you go slowly, eldest brother, I won't send you."
After closing the door, she turned around and saw A-Ci holding the red envelope and looking at herself. "Judging from the amount of the three red envelopes, it must have been given to Xingxing alone. The eldest uncle deliberately divided it into three parts, covering his ears and stealing the bell?"
"Your eldest uncle is just a messenger." Shen Jingjing said helplessly.
Shen Ci walked to the kitchen window with the red envelope and poked her head out to look down. Seeing Fu Kang come out of the unit door, she said loudly, "Uncle, Xingxing doesn't want it, you take it back."
Saying this, she threw the red envelope down, and before Fu Kang could react, she shrank back and closed the window.
Shen Jingjing didn't stop her. She knew that her daughter wouldn't want this red envelope, because this red envelope only had Xingxing's share. Xingxing didn't want it, so A-Ci would definitely return it!
Shen Ci returned to the sofa and said indignantly, "Ignoring, not asking for twenty years, suddenly saying they miss their grandson when Xingxing is an adult and admitted to university, the abacus beads hit my face."
"It's New Year, don't say this." Shen Jingjing didn't want her daughter to be angry because of "outsiders", so she went over and hugged her shoulder.
Shen Ci sighed. "I definitely won't be angry, I'm not worth it for you."
Saying this, she looked at A-Li and Xingxing and said again, "A-Li and Xingxing are all grown up. Mom, I think there are some things you should let them know."
What happened between her mother and the Fu family back then, how her father Fu Jun died, and why there was no contact for more than twenty years.
Shen Jingjing had never explained these things in front of the children, so A-Li and Xingxing didn't know.
It was A-Ci.
Shen Jingjing looked at A-Ci suspiciously and asked, "How do you know?"
Shen Ci sighed again. "Last time I came back, Auntie told me secretly."
Shen Yingying also felt emotional after her sister and niece finally untied the knot. Revealing the things of the Fu family back then to Shen Ci was also hoping that A-Ci would understand her mother more in the future.
Because Shen Jingjing really suffered too much for the children back then.
And when Shen Jingjing heard this, her face was a bit unnatural. "She told you?"
"Is there anything else?" Shen Ci asked suspiciously, always feeling that her mother's words had something to say, as if there was something else hidden from herself.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Yingying told about the Fu family back then, that thing was not told to A-Ci. ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
