Chapter 230: She is so wonderful~

~8 min read 1,482 words

Liu Tiezhu came over with Chen Xun at noon. Seeing his daughter, who was wearing new clothes and whose mental state was so much better than yesterday after just one day, he gave a military salute to An Yinan, "Sister-in-law, thank you."

An Yinan waved her hand, "It wasn't for you, it was for Dani. What a good child she is."

Liu Tiezhu dug into his pocket and took out thirty yuan, "Sister-in-law, I can't take the girl to the dormitory, so I have to trouble you for a few more days. I've already written to my mother; she can be here in over a week."

"Take this money. You'll still have to trouble yourself to take Dani to buy a couple of outfits."

If his mother didn't come, he wouldn't feel at ease taking Dani home.

He couldn't let Wang Erhua ruin her like this anymore.

An Yinan looked at Liu Tiezhu, then pulled out ten one-yuan notes and pushed the rest back, "Take these back."

"Sister-in-law, this won't do. How is this enough? I heard from the boss that Dani's stomach is weak and she can't eat the canteen food. I can't bring her food every day, so this money definitely isn't enough." Liu Tiezhu was getting anxious.

An Yinan didn't say anything more, but looked at Chen Xun, "I'll leave it to you."

Hearing his wife's words, Chen Xun looked at Liu Tiezhu, "Put it away."

Liu Tiezhu was a bit anxious, "But..."

"This is an order." An order is greater than heaven!

Liu Tiezhu was also grateful for the help Chen Xun and his wife had given them. Seeing Dani's gradually relaxed expression—it had only been a day—his own Dani was now leaning affectionately against An Yinan, imitating her movements as she picked the soaked vegetables.

"Dani, Auntie will handle this side, you go chat with your dad," An Yinan said.

Children still need to communicate more; no matter how good outsiders are, it doesn't compare to a parent's love.

Of course, Wang Erhua was an exception.

Chen Xun specifically gave up the bedroom to the father and daughter; he reached out to help An Yinan prepare the soaked mushrooms.

An Yinan was preparing to make mushroom sauce, and then she simmered a pot of chicken soup, mainly to use for cooking noodles.

"Nan Nan, thank you." Chen Xun looked at the girl. Her heart was very soft; even though Wang Erhua slandered her so much, she was still willing to take care of Dani.

She was very upright; right was right, and wrong was wrong. She never vented her anger on others.

She was very considerate of others, taking care of their self-esteem and their feelings of inferiority.

She respected everything.

She was so wonderful~

An Yinan looked at Chen Xun, and from his eyes, one could see rare emotions, "Dani is very cute, isn't she?"

With one sentence, she dispelled Liu Tiezhu's gratitude.

It also dispelled the gratitude in Chen Xun's heart.

"Boss, Sister-in-law, I'll be going first." Liu Tiezhu had talked with Dani in the room for a while; Dani was slowly trying to communicate with her father.

In the past, her father rarely came back, and even when he came home from the training grounds, he would just collapse and sleep.

Now she felt her father was better; he would listen to her talk and tell her stories.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, eat here before you go back," An Yinan said.

Liu Tiezhu hurriedly waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, there's really no need. I still have to go urge them about the report."

The divorce report—he wanted to finish the process as soon as possible.

He didn't want to return to the Family Quarters even once more.

Besides, leaving Dani at the Battalion Commander's house was already troubling them enough; how could he have the face to stay for a meal?

Just like that, while An Yinan translated during the day, Dani would obediently write and draw on the side. When An Yinan cooked, Dani would come over to help add firewood, and after everyone finished eating, Dani would scramble to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

In Auntie's house, she felt like she was living in Heaven.

A week later, Liu Tiezhu picked up his mother and Erni.

"It's Mother's fault. Back then, I saw that Wang Erhua was a good one; I didn't expect her to ruin my Dani like this." The old lady wiped her tears. Dani had grown up by her side since she was little, and she couldn't bear to touch her with even a finger.

Later, when Wang Erhua was dead set on following the army, she thought about the couple—living apart wasn't a good thing—so she let her go.

But as an old lady, taking care of two children was truly more than she could handle.

Dani was a bit older, so letting her go to the Camp was more reassuring, while Erni stayed by her side to be taken care of; that way, both sides could manage.

Who would have thought! That wretched thing was actually abusing her Dani!

"Mother, I want a divorce." Liu Tiezhu was exceptionally firm this time.

The old lady looked at her son and finally nodded, "As long as you've thought it through."

When he got married, it was she and the old man who had arranged it.

The old man was critically ill, and his final wish was to see his son get married; she didn't expect that it would push her son into a pit of fire.

Three generations of the family returned to the Family Quarters together.

"Liu Tiezhu, you still know how to come back? Where did you send Dani?" Hearing the door open, Wang Erhua immediately questioned him.

These past few days, Dani wasn't home to cook, and she had to do it herself every day. That money-losing goods didn't do any work day after day, so why keep her?

Liu Tiezhu stood at the doorway, looking at Wang Erhua, "Why are you looking for Dani?"

Before Wang Erhua could speak, Jindou spoke up, "That money-losing goods isn't home, there's no one to cook for us."

Wang Erhua hurriedly covered his mouth, but the words had already been spoken; it was all too late.

Liu Tiezhu's face turned livid, and the old lady behind him pushed him aside.

She took Erni into the room, closed the door, grabbed a broom from the side, and lunged at Wang Erhua.

"I'll let you hit my Dani."

"I'll let you ruin my Tie Zhu."

The old lady was already furious; she hadn't expected that the Jindou she had raised would turn out like this too.

Now, there was no way to contain her anger.

At first, she thought, what couple doesn't argue?

Although Wang Erhua cared about her own family, she was ultimately the children's own mother, but listen to what this thing was saying?

Was her Dani to be trampled on like this? She was already getting on in years; how many more years could she protect Dani and Erni?

"Where did this lunatic come from? Get out of my house." Wang Erhua knew Liu Tiezhu would not return, and now she did not even want to pretend anymore.

She was also certain of Liu Tiezhu's temper; if she played the rogue, he could forget about getting a divorce.

Want to abandon her? Don't even think about it!!

The old lady had worked the fields for years and had a good amount of strength in her hands.

Yet Wang Erhua had been lazy and gluttonous all these years, throwing all the household chores onto eight-year-old Dani, while she did nothing but open her mouth to eat and go out to open her mouth and chat.

"A lunatic? Eating my son's food, living in my son's house, who is the lunatic?" The old lady also struck hard, hitting until the broom fell apart.

Only then did Wang Erhua see clearly who had come, and her vision went black.

How did the old lady get here?

The only person in the Liu family who could make her afraid was the old lady standing before her.

In the past, she had been grabbed to farm the land and watched as she tended the vegetable garden...

"Mother, why are you here?" Wang Erhua looked at the old lady and asked in disbelief.

The old lady gasped for breath; she had struck in a rush just now, and after all, she was old.

"If I didn't come, would I let you torture my Dani to death?" At the mention of this, the old lady became even angrier and threw the broom directly at her.

Erni was shielded behind Liu Tiezhu, who would not let her see the current scene.

A home that was once harmonious and happy had been forced into what it was now.
