Chapter 923 Return to the Village 1
Shen Mianmian pursed her lips and remained silent, and Xiaocui didn’t dare to say more. Unaware, the two slept through the night, and the threesome got up early the next morning to visit the shop. After greeting everyone, they bought some gifts and returned to their village. First, the trio went to see Zhao Xianlai. Seeing Shen Mianmian return home victorious, Zhao Xianlai was heartened and nodded incessantly, "I always knew you had integrity and could achieve great results, but I never imagined you could get into Beijing University."
Speaking of which, Zhao Xianlai said shamefully, "The village has wronged you! When you got into Beijing University, the village should have held a banquet to celebrate and welcome you."
Shen Mianmian sincerely replied, "Uncle, please don’t say that. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I’ve always been grateful to you, and I haven’t been able to visit you and Auntie all these years, please don’t mind."
Hearing this, Li Chunhua took over the conversation, "Mianmian, don’t say that. We know very well how hard these years have been for you; others may not know, but your Uncle Zhao and I do. You are fortunate, and we’re happy about that. Let’s not speak of this as outsiders."
"Hmm."
Shen Mianmian nodded.
After some polite chat, Zhao Xianlai brought up Shen Jianhua. Li Chunhua interrupted as soon as he began, "Mianmian has just come back, why bring up those matters to her now?"
"It’s about Mianmian’s foster father; it’s better she knows," Zhao Xianlai firmly stated.
