Chapter 695: Returning to the Small Fishing Village

Jian Yining and Jin Wan'er are neither the type of people who enjoy gossiping about domestic trifles.

So, even if they have grievances, they usually won't tell their friends.

Now that the conversation has led to this, and they are idle with nothing to do, Jian Yining begins to pour out his bitterness.

His mother only sees the good in her own child, treating her son and daughter-in-law differently.

She frequently sends WeChat messages to Jian Yining, tattling and speaking ill of his wife.

She even maliciously slanders Wan'er for having an affair, sowing discord between the couple...

Shi Youxuan is dumbfounded.

She did not know such things were happening; Wan'er's nature is to report the good news but not the bad, and if Jian Yining hadn't said it himself, she would have had no idea.

But this is not all.

While Wan'er was pregnant, Lady Jian would interfere in their marital life, eavesdropping at the bedroom door, and deliberately entering their room in the morning without knocking...

There is more.

She thinks she only says a few words, but her son loses his patience.

Yet every time, it takes half an hour before Jian Yining's patience is completely worn thin!

The two of them originally wanted to persuade Jian Yining, but after hearing him finish, they stopped trying.

There is no way to persuade him.

Whoever ends up with such a mother, such a mother-in-law, is unlucky!

Shi Youxuan now feels heartache for her sister.

Her sister never mentioned these things in front of her, and Wan'er's personality is different from Shi Youxuan's; she can endure and suffer in silence.

Shi Youxuan: "After we go back, you two should move out. If you can't get out, have Wan'er take the child and move out to live. You absolutely, absolutely cannot live with your mother; even a good person could be driven crazy."

"Mm, we'll move as soon as we get back."

R Country airport.

The three of them part ways at the airport.

Jian Yining returns directly to Jiangzhou; he is interested in the Small Fishing Village, but it cannot compare to having a "troublemaking" mother at home, so he must return early to protect his wife and daughter.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan purchase many gifts and hire a boat to go directly to the Small Fishing Village.

The Small Fishing Village is still the same as it was.

Everything has remained as it was two years ago, without any changes.

But the return of the two of them immediately causes a sensation in the Fishing Village.

"Yano is back."

"Yano is back."

The villagers are in an uproar, running to tell each other.

Everyone comes out to welcome the two, including the tottering Ya Laohan.

"Heavens! I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime, Yano, my son." The old man excitedly throws away his cane, rushes over to hug Sheng Hanyu, his face streaming with tears.

Sheng Hanyu is moved: "Father, I am back. Where is Yafei?"

He originally wanted to ask: It has only been two years, how have you aged so much?

But he estimates it has to do with himself, so he does not ask.

"Yafei... has gone out to sea. Yano, my child, let Father take a good look at you." Ya Laohan's withered fingers, like old tree bark, stroke Sheng Hanyu's face, feeling somewhat rough.

Ya Laohan has aged too quickly, and Sheng Hanyu feels uneasy in his heart.

In many cases, people live by their spirit and vitality.

Back then, after Ya Laohan's son Yano was in a shipwreck, the old man lost his only son and almost followed him to the grave.

But soon, he rescued Sheng Hanyu from the sea, and Ya Laohan treated Sheng Hanyu as his own son Yano, believing that heaven had sent his son back.

Later, Yafei fell in love with Sheng Hanyu and wanted to marry him; the old couple of the Ya family were happy to see it happen, but unfortunately, heaven did not grant their wish!

Sheng Hanyu's wife came looking for him with a big belly, and he knew that the couple reuniting was the normal thing.

But emotionally, the old man still could not accept it.

After Sheng Hanyu regained his memory and left, Ya Laohan was like someone whose backbone had been pulled out, aging overnight!

The things that happened later were also things he could not accept, and his health quickly collapsed.

The couple is ushered into the Village Office by the enthusiastic villagers.

Sheng Hanyu discovers that his original office has been kept exactly as it was.

The room he lived in has also been kept in its original state, without any changes, even the position of the water cup has not moved!

The villagers tell him that all of this was ordered by Yafei.

Under Yafei's leadership, although the Fishing Village has not progressed as much as it did when he was there.

But now the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are happy; everyone is living very well.

Seeing that everyone is doing well, Sheng Hanyu feels relieved.

The villagers are very enthusiastic toward the couple, asking after their well-being and chatting about daily life.

There is only one thing: they will talk about anything, but everyone deliberately avoids the topic of Yafei, trying their best not to mention her, though they cannot say why.

When the two ask more, the answer they get is—Yafei has gone out to sea and won't be back for a day or two.

Shi Youxuan suggests: "Let's stay for two more days and wait for Yafei to return before we leave."

Sheng Hanyu: "Okay."

They wait in the Fishing Village for two days.

Yafei has not returned, and people have different accounts.

Some say Yafei went to the far sea and won't be back for ten days or half a month.

Others say Yafei went to visit relatives and won't be back for half a year.

The two of them are not stupid; they can see that Yafei is hiding from them and does not want to see them.

Shi Youxuan asked her husband: "Is it that Yafei doesn't want to see me? Oh, I shouldn't have come with you; I should have let you come alone."

Sheng Hanyu:...

Shi Youxuan: "How about I leave now, and you stay for a few more days? I'll wait for you at the airport."

"No."

Sheng Hanyu refused without a moment's hesitation: "You don't need to hide. If she doesn't want to see us, then we won't see her. As long as everyone is living well, that's enough. We will go back together."

"We've been out for so long, our family must be anxious waiting for us."

Shi Youxuan's large eyes sparkled, and she tilted her head to ask: "If you miss this village, you won't find this shop again. Won't you regret it?"

"It's still not too late to change your mind. Why don't you think about it again?"

Sheng Hanyu reached out his large hand and rubbed the top of her head, instantly turning her smooth hair into a bird's nest.

"No need to consider it. Let's go home."

The two stood by the sea looking in the direction of home, missing their children.

They have been out for nearly a month; it is time to go back.

It is obvious that Yafei is deliberately hiding from them. Regardless of the reason, the two decided to respect Yafei's wishes.

If she doesn't want to see them, then they won't see her. Knowing she is doing well is enough to put their minds at ease.

Not far behind the two.

Yafei was hiding behind a pillar, her eyes fixed firmly on their backs.

She had been in the Fishing Village the whole time.

She just didn't want to go out and see him.

Because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to help herself from throwing into his arms, crying and begging him to accept her.

Even if it meant being a mistress, as long as she could be his mistress, having no status and living in the shadows would be fine.

But she knew it was impossible!

The tenderness in Yano's eyes was reserved only for the woman by his side; he would never look at her with that kind of gaze.

Heaven knows how much she wanted to see him.

But she couldn't; she wasn't worthy!

Tears flowed down her cheeks unknowingly, yet Yafei did not feel sad in her heart.

Just being able to watch his back, watching him from afar like this, was enough. She dared not hope for too much.

All good things must come to an end.

It was time for Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan to leave the Fishing Village.

Almost everyone in the village came out to see the two off.

"Yano, come back and visit often."

"Yano, don't forget us."

"Have a smooth journey."

"Safe travels."

The boat sailed away from the Fishing Village, and the village gradually grew smaller until it disappeared from sight before the two returned to the cabin.

Shi Youxuan: "It's a pity we didn't get to see Yafei, isn't it?"

Sheng Hanyu nodded honestly: "Yes, it's a pity."

Shi Youxuan: "If we turn the boat around now, we will definitely be able to see Yafei. Do you want to go back? Don't rush to answer; think it over carefully before giving me your answer, so you don't regret it."
