Si Tong blushed and turned her head away and stopped talking to Yu Hanshen. She could never win the argument with him. Even if she was right, he would always force her into a dead end in the end.

When they returned to the Imperial Examination Hall, grandma and aunt were watching cartoons with Yangyang in the living room. Grandma had a happy face and kept chattering to Si Tong about what dowry she had bought for her today.

According to the custom in Tongcheng, when a family marries off a daughter, the elders need to prepare a series of daily necessities such as quilts, boxes, thermos bottles as dowry.

Although it is not valuable, it is the deepest blessing from our elders.

Yu Hanshen seldom had dinner in Gongyuan, and his aunt always felt restrained in front of him. She ate a few bites in a hurry and took Yangyang back to the guest room on the first floor.

After Si Tong finished eating, her grandmother took her to the room to look at her dowry. Yu Hanshen received a call on his cell phone. He glanced at the incoming call, got up and walked out of the restaurant to answer it.

When Si Tong was pulled around the corner by his grandmother, he heard the man's deep voice talking on the phone, which had the steadiness and calmness of a mature man.

Just listening to the voice made her feel at ease.

"Do you think this eternal lantern is beautiful?" Grandma held up an eternal lantern with a retro and festive design. It had a cylindrical lampshade with two big red characters "Good Marriage" printed on it.

The vision of the elderly is often different from that of the young, but Si Tong did not say anything to spoil the fun. He smiled and said it was beautiful.

“I’ll put this by your bed on your wedding day and make sure it’s on all night. It represents that you will live a long life and have many descendants.” As my grandmother spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would be getting married." Although she hoped that her granddaughter could get married and have children as soon as possible, she still felt reluctant when this day came.

Seeing his grandmother like this, Si Tong felt uncomfortable in his heart and leaned on the old woman's shoulder, "You can't bear to leave me. You used to be so active in bringing me and Grandma Song's grandson together."

"The Song family lives in the community. If you had married her, she could see you every day. Now that you have married and moved to Haicheng, it is difficult for them to even see you." The grandmother held her granddaughter's hand and stroked it gently.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, she didn't take good care of her granddaughter.

Her husband passed away early, and she raised a son and a daughter alone. She was busy working to make money, and inevitably neglected the company and education of her children, which led to Han Lingli being arrogant and having a very bad temper.

Later, Han Lingli left Si Tong to her. She was still busy making money for a living and often locked her granddaughter in the room alone, leaving some food and drinks, and would lock her up for the whole day.

When Si Tong returned home late at night, he would cry and run into her arms, asking for a hug and comfort, but she was so tired after a day of work that she didn't have the mood for that and would just scold him harshly.

Little children are always frightened and stunned, with their big eyes wide open in a daze.

Over time, Si Tong became quiet and sensible. At the age of five or six, he could stand on a stool to cook and take care of himself.

"Grandma is incompetent. She failed to educate your mother well, and I couldn't provide you with a good life. You have to suffer so much with me." Grandma said slowly.

I don’t know why, but I keep dreaming about the past these past two days. I dreamed that Si Tong snuggled into her arms, but she pushed him away cruelly.

She dreamed that Si Tong was pushed to the ground by her friends and laughed at as a bastard, but she was powerless to do anything.

"Don't say that. If you hadn't raised me, I might not have existed in this world." Si Tong smelled the laundry detergent on the old man.

"No matter what, you gave me a home." Although this home has various shortcomings, it is because of this home that she can take root in this land. Otherwise, she would have been blown away by the wind long ago.

My aunt gave Yangyang a bath first, and when she finished herself, Si Tong had already returned to her room when she came out.

Grandma sat on the edge of the bed, covering her mouth and coughing.

My aunt quickly picked up the teapot and poured her a glass of water. "Have you taken the medicine?"

Grandma drank two sips of water and said, "I ate it." After a pause, she sighed, "My health is getting worse day by day. I don't know if I can hold on until Tongtong gives birth."

"Mom, you are talking nonsense again. It must be." My aunt comforted me: "Didn't Mr. Yu arrange a physical examination for you? The doctor said you are in good condition."

Grandma shook her head, "I know my body well, and I've been dreaming about things from the past lately, including Jianjun's father. I was standing on the stairs, and Jianjun's father kept waving at me from the bottom of the stairs, telling me to go down..."

These words sent a chill down my aunt's back, and she shuddered: "Mom, you're talking so scary."

Grandma looked at Yangyang sleeping on the bed, was silent for a while, and said: "What I am most worried about now is Tongtong and Yangyang. Yangyang has you as her biological mother who loves and protects her, so no matter what happens in the future, she will not be too bad."

"But Tongtong's father doesn't want her mother and she doesn't love me. If I'm gone, and she has conflicts with A Shen in the future, she won't even have anyone to cry to..."

"I don't think Mr. Yu will have a conflict with Tongtong." My aunt didn't speak on Yu Hanshen's side.

Instead, I really think that "Mr. Yu is emotionally stable and capable. When he encounters a problem, he will find a way to solve it. Once the problem is solved, the conflict will naturally disappear. How could there be a quarrel?"

"Only men who are emotionally unstable, incompetent and irresponsible will avoid problems. Avoiding problems will lead to irreconcilable conflicts."

It's rare for my aunt to say so much in one breath, and at first glance, it makes a lot of sense.

Grandma's mood did not improve because of this, and she looked at her daughter-in-law.

"Have you kept the thing I gave you before? If they really have a quarrel and want to separate, you must give that thing to Tongtong. It is her last bargaining chip."

My aunt nodded and said, "I've put it away, don't worry."

Grandma nodded as well. After a long while, she continued, "If you meet the right man in the future, try to accept him. You are only in your forties. You can't stay single like this forever. It won't work if you don't have someone to accompany you when you are old."

"Mom, you're talking nonsense again." My aunt felt uneasy when she heard these words that sounded like last words.

……

When Si Tong returned to the room, Yu Hanshen had already finished her shower and was sitting on the head of the bed, her long legs wrapped in loose pajamas casually crossed, holding her textbook in her hand.

Probably he brought it up when he went upstairs just now. The canvas bag she often used to carry books was placed on the sofa.

Although Yu Hanshen was leaning against the head of the bed with a relaxed posture, his brows were serious and deep, and he was holding a book, making him look like a class teacher who was about to examine his students' homework.

Si Tong came out of the shower and blow-dried his hair. He was still flipping through the pages casually.

"Why are you peeking at my book again?" The weather was getting cooler and the central air conditioning had been turned on in the villa. The temperature was comfortable, but Si Tong was still wearing her summer suspender nightgown.

Her thin and fair neck and shoulders were exposed, and her limbs and waist were extremely slender, but her chest was heaving, and even if she was standing quietly and doing nothing, she was still particularly eye-catching and alluring.

But because he has a cold face, he doesn't look worldly at all, but instead has a pure and sexy charm.

Yu Hanshen raised his eyes and looked over, his gaze deep and dark: "Can't see?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and held up a piece of paper like he did last time. The familiar scene startled Si Tong, who thought that another fish that had slipped through the net had been discovered.

After seeing the contents of the note, she breathed a sigh of relief. Without waiting for the man to ask, she took the initiative to explain: "It was the teammate from the Mathematical Modeling Competition that I met in the hospital on the day I was discharged. His mother needed money for surgery."

What Yu Hanshen was holding in his fingers was the IOU sent by Chen Jingxian.

The borrower, loan amount, repayment date and interest rate on the IOU are all written in great detail, and it can be seen that the person who wrote the IOU is an expert in this field.

Yu Hanshen smiled, with an ambiguous meaning: "I didn't expect that classmate Si is so kind-hearted."

Si Tong thought about his words. They sounded calm, but she felt that they were not good words. She also couldn't tell him that she lent money to Chen Jingxian out of gratitude.

When Chen Jingxian delivered the IOU that day, he played a recording to her, and she recognized the person in the recording as Mrs. He.

She didn't tell Yu Hanshen that He Qinglan had already left Haicheng and the matter was over. After all, the He family was still a relative of the Ji family, and Si Tong didn't want to deepen the rift between the Yu and He families because of her.

Yu Hanshen put the book on the bedside table and waited for her to go to bed.

Under his gaze, Si Tong suddenly found it difficult to walk, but when he thought about how this man had been very gentlemanly during this period, he felt a little relieved.

Just as she climbed onto the bed, Yu Hanshen suddenly pinched her under the armpits and lifted her up.

Si Tong screamed, and when she came to her senses, she was forced to sit on the man.

Yu Hanshen still looked relaxed and comfortable, leaning against the head of the bed, holding the girl's waist with both hands, applying a little force to hold her down.

"Are you familiar with that guy named Chen?" he asked casually.

Even though his tone was calm, people didn't dare to take him for granted. Si Tong's hand was on his arm, and through the fabric of his pajamas, one could feel the strength and sturdiness of his forearm.

"Not familiar." She told the truth.

"We're not familiar with each other, so you can just lend me two hundred thousand?" Yu Hanshen was not someone who could be fooled. He realized that the little girl was not telling the truth, so he slid his right hand up along the girl's waist.

The big palm stopped at Si Tong's shoulder blade, and then exerted force.

Si Tong was pushed forward by the man's brutal force, and because the force acted on her back, her chest protruded.
