Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 99: A Single Mother Who Saved Her Autistic Son (18)

Wenxiu has booked her July trip to Okinawa, Japan. She has always wanted to get a diving C card and take Wenjin with her to experience snorkeling.

July and August have always been the peak tourist seasons, and many people travel abroad. In order to avoid encountering typhoons, Wenxiu also asked the system to calculate the typhoon's path.

In order to ensure efficiency, Wenxiu spent some money to hire a one-on-one teaching coach and chartered a yacht. Wenxiu went into the sea while Wen Jin sat on the deck and fed bread to the seagulls.

"My dear son, it's because you are too young. Your physical fitness is not up to the requirements for diving."

"I'll take you to the snorkeling area in a few days. Just sit here quietly. There's water and fruit here. Don't leave the lifeguard's sight, okay?"

In order to satisfy her son's curiosity, Wenxiu specially hired a professional underwater photographer to take some photos of her diving.

The scenery is truly different between diving and snorkeling, and the creatures you see are also quite different. Wenxiu was lucky enough to get a photo with a manta ray, but according to the photographer, some unlucky ones don't even see a single manta.

Compared to playing on land, Wen Jin was obviously in a better mood underwater, and the photographer actually captured a picture of Wen Jin's smiling face.

Okinawa is not only popular for its beaches, but also for its ecotourism.

Wenxiu brought a camera and recorded many of Wenjin's firsts, including the first time she ate oven-baked avocado and the first time she ate wax apple.

In the last few days, the two took a boat to Hateruma Island. The sea water here was as soft and dreamy as cream soda water. The two also received a certificate for the southernmost footprint of Japan at the star observation tower.

Interestingly, when they tried to find a shaded spot, the only available shaded pavilion was occupied by goats. For the first time, the seemingly unperturbed Wen Jin showed resistance, and Wen Xiu refused to go no matter how hard she tried, figuring he was afraid of goats.

This scene was photographed by Wenxiu, recording Wen Jin's "funny" fear.

...

After playing hard for nearly two weeks, Wenxiu took Wenjin back home as soon as she got the C card.

As soon as she got home, Wenxiu brought Wenjin and Okinawa specialties and knocked on the door of Sister Guo next door.

"Oh, Wenxiu, you're back? Oh my god, it's gotten darker for both of you." Sister Guo happily invited the two of them into the house for tea.

"You two came at the perfect time. I just made some vegetable rice rolls from my hometown. Try one. My daughter loves my vegetable rice rolls." Sister Guo said, pushing one towards Wen Jin. The one was almost bigger than Wen Jin's face. "Eat it, little Jin."

"Oh, by the way, Wenxiu, someone came looking for you when you were not at home. They knocked on your door for a long time early in the morning. I was wondering who it was that was banging so hard so early in the morning."

Wenxiu frowned: "Looking for me?"

"Yes, is he your relative or friend?" Sister Guo poured two more glasses of water for the two of them and handed them forward.

"I told them you were away on a business trip and wanted to contact you. Did you get the message?"

"I don't have any relatives here," Wenxiu said. "If someone comes looking for me while I'm away, just tell them I've moved away."

Wenxiu probably guessed who it was. She glanced at Wen Jin, who was holding the lunch bag and didn't know how to eat it, and seemed to be thinking about something.

...

Although we are not in a coastal city, we have been affected by the typhoon to some extent. It has been drizzling for the past few days, and even the snow cakes have to stay indoors.

It rained for several days in a row, and the grass and trees in the backyard were bright green, as if they had been painted.

Sure enough, as soon as the rain stopped, someone came to the door at noon that day.

When the door opened, it was Wen Hong and an elderly couple.

"you--"

Before Wen Hong knew how to start, the old woman behind him started talking: "Wen Xiu, you damned girl—"

"Mom?" Wen Hong turned around in shock. Hadn't they agreed on the way here? He'd first confirm whether she was his sister. His mother had agreed, so why did she start scolding him the moment she saw him?

Wen's mother came reluctantly, thinking it was a waste of money. That unlucky girl had run away, so she just lost some of the betrothal money. But when she saw Wenxiu, she was sure that this was the girl who ran away with her husband a few years ago.

As expected, they are mother and daughter, and they can be recognized at a glance.

Wenxiu thought to herself, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled slightly and said, "Who are you?"

"Shameless bitch!"

"I've raised you for nothing, and now you dare to run away with a man after going out to work. Do you have any shame? You shameless person—"

As Wen's mother was talking, she wanted to break into the yard, but she saw Xuebing standing behind Wenxiu, staring at her mother.

The dogs in the country would bite but they didn't bark. Wen's mother was a little scared and just stood in front of Wenxiu. Seeing Wenxiu looking at her calmly and pretending not to know her, she became furious and raised her hand to hit her.

"Hey—what are you doing?!"

Sister Guo was originally sweeping fallen leaves in the yard. When she heard the noise, she ran out with a broom.

"Who is this? The one making such a fuss, Wenxiu, is he your relative?"

Wenxiu said, "I don't know. I don't know them."

"Hey, you shameless girl, you are pretending, right? Well, you have made it now, and you come here to enjoy the good life with a rich man, right? You are throwing yourself at him! Call out that wild man of yours--" Wen's mother wanted to roll on the ground while shouting, but the ground was covered with undried rain water. She looked left and right, and then ran to the road and started shouting and making a fuss.

"Oh my God! I raised you with just a handful of rice and grain, and yet you ran off with another man as soon as you went to the city! You haven't been home for five or six years! Who can tell me what's right? Look at your conscience being eaten by a dog."

It was lunchtime, and some of the neighbors heard the noise and came out with their bowls in hand. Although they had lived here for so long and had not had much contact with each other, everyone knew that Wenxiu was a single mother, and usually no one came to visit as a relative.

"Come and see! Come and see—"

Seeing that the situation had gotten out of hand, Wen Hong was overwhelmed and quickly stopped his mother, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Dahong, she is your sister who never comes home! You were still a child when that damn girl ran away." After saying that, he pushed Wenhong away and continued to make a big fuss.

Wenxiu just stood quietly at the gate of the yard, watching this farce.

Wen Jin, who was originally taking a nap on the second floor, suddenly appeared in the yard. Wen's sharp-eyed mother became even more excited when she saw it.

"You gave birth to a little bastard, didn't you? Fine, call out that wild man of yours as well! He cheated someone else's daughter out of her, so you have to pay me back!"

Wenxiu said, "I don't know you. If you continue to make trouble, I will call the police."

"Go ahead and report it! What can the police do about this?" Wen's mother wasn't afraid at all. She even tugged at Wen's father, who had been standing silently by the side, and said, "Speak up, is this your daughter?"

Father Wen looked up woodenly, glanced at Wenxiu, then lowered his head and shook his head.

"Useless thing!" Wen's mother slapped the back of his head angrily.

Wenxiu looked at Wenhong and said calmly, "Did you ask Professor Chen for my address?"

Wen Hong didn't expect Wen Xiu to recognize him. He stammered and couldn't speak.

"You stupid girl! What are you talking to your brother about? I'm telling you, call that wild man of yours out now. After all, you gave birth to a little bastard for him, so why should you give me your betrothal money?"

Wen Xiu was completely blinded by what her mother had planned.

Wen Hong turned his face away in shame, not even daring to look at Wen Xiu.

Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Wen's mother started to throw a tantrum again, yelling and cursing in the middle of the road, saying all kinds of nasty things.

"Are you all crazy about money? You can just blackmail people, right? Snow Cake! Go bite them!"

Xuebing also bared his teeth and growled softly at the right time.

She said to Sister Guo, "Sister Guo, please call the police for me, thank you."

When Wen Xiu's mother heard that she was serious, she was so angry that she trembled all over. "You shameless thing, I should have sold you to the mountains! I kindly sent you to the city to work, and you took the money and ran off with someone else. Do you have any shame?"

More and more people gathered around to watch the show, and Wenxiu curled the corners of her mouth.

"I thought she was someone like that, but it turns out you're a family that favors boys over girls. No wonder your daughter ran away! Who wouldn't run? You'd keep her so you can sell her to someone else and collect the bride price to save for your son's marriage." Wen Xiu raised her voice. "Everyone, listen up! You gave birth to a daughter just to sell her for money, even if it meant selling her to the mountains! You're completely heartless!"

After saying that, Wenxiu lowered her head and saw Wen Jin leaning against her legs.

Wen Xiu put her arm around Wen Jin and said, "My parents died of illness a long time ago, so don't just come out and claim to be my relative."

"Yeah, you've got the wrong person. Wenxiu doesn't look anything like your family," said one of the neighbors.

"That's right," Sister Guo continued. "I've been neighbors with Wenxiu for so long, and I've never heard her say she has a brother. How could you come here and ask for money from someone else?"

"And he even went to someone else's house and made a scene."

"This person is different when he gets old. He can do shameless things."

"Selling your daughter for fame and fortune will lead to nothing good. Get out of here now and don't dirty our place."
