Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations
The next day, Shen Yao waited outside the county jail early in the morning.
The once high-spirited Eldest Brother Shen had now beco disheveled.
Although he had only been in prison for two days, the sll on his body had beco rotten and extrely unpleasant.
“Big Brother?” Shen Yao hurried forward and called out softly.
“Third Brother?” Eldest Brother Shen forced a smile and asked with concern, “Is everything alright in the shop? Is your sister-in-law alright? Is she frightened?”
“Brother, let’s go ho first.”
When the two of them returned to Shen Ji, Ji Zhao brought out the brazier she had prepared.
“Big Brother, quickly cross the brazier and get rid of the bad luck!”
” -Okay!” Eldest Brother Shen’s eyes turned red with gratitude. After stepping over the brazier, he went to the backyard to wash up.
Halfway through the morning, Ji Zhao brought the prepared pork trotter noodles to Eldest Brother Shen.
“Big Brother, after eating the pig trotter noodles, your bad luck will end.”
“Ah Tao,” Brother Shen choked out, “thank you.”
Fifteen minutes later, Eldest Brother Shen put down his bowl and chopsticks.
After looking around, he asked curiously, “Third Brother, Ah Tao, where’s Dongi?’
“Big Brother, sothing happened in the shop yesterday...” Shen Yao looked at him and briefly told him what happened yesterday.
Brother Shen clenched his fists in anger. A mont later, he let go weakly.
“I was too stupid!” Eldest Brother Shen lowered his head and blad himself.
“If I hadn’t trusted that bastard Zhao Xu so easily, all this wouldn’t have happened. It’s all my fault!”
“Big Brother, now that it has happened, it’s useless even if you bla yourself,” Shen Yao looked at him and said in a low voice.
“Ahem.” Ji Zhao quickly coughed twice and kept shooting looks at Shen Yao. In the end, she looked at Eldest Brother Shen and said, “Brother, hurry up and take a look at Eldest Sister-in-law and the child.”
“Okay.. ”
After Brother Shen went to the backyard, Ji Zhao gently grabbed Shen Yao’s sleeve and raised her eyebrows at him without saying a word.
“Huh?” Shen Yao looked down at her in confusion.
“Big Brother is already very sad. Why did you add salt to his wound just now?’ Ji Zhao did not agree with Shen Yao’s actions just now.
“If the wound doesn’t hurt, it will heal quickly.” Shen Yao sighed softly, his tone filled with disappointnt. “Big Brother has been managing Shen Ji for five to six years. If he’s not hurt this ti, he might make the sa mistake in the future.”
A businessman must be astute.
If he could be easily played by others, the outco would definitely be miserable.
“That’s true.” Ji Zhao crossed her arms and seed to be deep in thought. “But
Shen Yao, will the next matter be even more troubleso?’
Zhao Xu had run away. Zhao’s Rice Shop owed so much debt—
“And that bastard Ma Tianxiang, he definitely won’t let this go, right?” The more Ji Zhao thought about it, the more worried she beca. “Shen Yao, we have to think of a plan.”
‘Yesterday, I asked to see Lord Ma.” Shen Yao held her hand and smiled gently.
“Don’t worry, Ma Tianxiang won’t cause any trouble for the ti being. As for Zhao’s Rice Shop, I’ve t with the workers at the rice shop. In short, all the problems can be put to an end. ‘
“Really?” Ji Zhao was extrely excited.
“Ah Tao, make so pastries later. I have use for them.” Seeing her smile, Shen Yao could not help but smile.
Ah Tao’s smile seed to have a special power.
As long as he saw the bright smile on her face, all his worries would be swept away.
“Okay.”
When Ji Zhao walked into the kitchen, she saw Feng Chunyan squatting in front of the stove, crying silently.
“Chunyan?’
“Sister Ah Tao?”
When Feng Chunyan heard the voice, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face and forced a smile.
Seeing the haggard look on her face, Ji Zhao approached her with heartache and slowly squatted down.
Ji Zhao did not say anything. She only took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the tears on her face.
Feng Chunyan blinked her eyes helplessly. She tried to stop crying, but her tears kept falling like pearls.
“If you want to cry, just cry.” Ji Zhao held her face, her eyes filled with gentleness. “Chunyan, if you feel distressed, just cry. Don’t force yourself to smile. Everyone has the right to vent their emotions. I know you’re very afraid and terrified, but that was yesterday. It’s all in the past.”
“Sister Ah Tao...”
Feng Chunyan could not hold it in anymore. She leaned on Ji Zhao’s shoulder and cried loudly!
It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and fear in her heart!
In the end, she cried until she was out of breath— An hour later.
Ji Zhao cut a small piece of the stead sugar cake and handed it to Feng
Chunyan, who had cald down.
“I specially added osmanthus and honey into the sugar cake. It should taste good. Try it?”
Although she had no appetite, Feng Chunyan still forced herself to take a bite.
The sugar cake was sweet but not greasy. It lted in her mouth and was endlessly sweet.
“No matter how hard life is, you have to find a way to give yourself so sweetness.” Ji Zhao looked into her eyes and said earnestly, “Chunyan, I know that you’re still very afraid of what happened yesterday. But Chunyan, everyone will encounter countless setbacks and difficulties in their lives. When facing these setbacks or difficulties, fear won’t solve the problem.”
“The best way to solve the problem is to beco stronger and muster up the courage to face it.”
“Sister Ah Tao...” Feng Chunyan did not fully understand what she was saying. In the end, she asked nervously, “Yesterday... what happened yesterday, was it really not my fault?”
‘Why do you think so?” Ji Zhao frowned in disapproval and asked softly.
I don’t know...” Feng Chunyan lowered her head. She felt extrely uncomfortable. “Actually, I didn’t sleep last night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw that person’s face. I was very afraid... And I think that all of this started because of . If it wasn’t for , Brother-in-law wouldn’t have been deceived so easily! Anyway, it’s all my fault, isn’t it?”
Ji Zhao finally understood the crux of Feng Chunyan’s problem.
The victim’s sense of self-bla is derived from the classic theory of victim guilt.
“Chunyan, who do you think a good-looking person should thank the most?” Ji Zhao rubbed her head and asked softly with a faint smile.
“Ah?’ Feng Chunyan looked up blankly. After thinking for a while, she shook her head.
“A person’s appearance cos from their parents. Isn’t there a saying that the body, hair, and skin are inherited from the parents?” Ji Zhao smiled.. “Chunyan, do you want to hear a story?”
