Chapter 245 Shu Ying: I married Xie Zhiyan because I love him.

The daughter she raised with her own hands ended up becoming her enemy.

Even without blood ties, the upbringing and affection over the years cannot be faked, and Xie Wanying's choices and actions are truly distressing for her.

Shu Ying knew what her mother-in-law was thinking, so she could only gently pat her arm and say, "From now on, with Sister Song and me by your side, those bad memories won't affect us."

Some people's well-thought-out schemes end up backfiring, but fortunately, they saw through all the conspiracies and tricks.

Huang Meiling looked at Song Zhaodi with a guilty expression, wishing she could give her the best of herself.

She let out a long sigh of relief, looked up at the dark sky, and said, "Fortunately, God has been kind to me and gave me two more daughters. Otherwise, my life would be a real failure. It seems that I should be a better person and do more good deeds in the future. I should dedicate my energy to the country. Maybe good deeds will come back to me."

There are countless examples of karma in this world nowadays. As long as she can live with a clear conscience, she will have no regrets.

Shu Ying smiled and said, "Mom is right."

Huang Meiling noticed Song Zhaodi's lack of confidence and squeezed her hand slightly harder: "Daughter, from now on, stand tall and be an upright person. You are my daughter. If it weren't for the scheming of some villains, you were born to enjoy a life of happiness. You have suffered so much over the years, and from now on, Mom will never let you suffer any more grievances. This is your home!"

Shu Ying nodded repeatedly: "Yes, and now we can protect you more legitimately, Sister Song. Put aside all your previous thoughts, you are a completely new you now."

She is kind, brave, hardworking, and generous, possessing the simplicity of a country person and the indelible pride inherent in the Xie family.

Song Zhaodi was amused by the banter between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her eyes brightened even more.

The soft light of the streetlights shone on her, and from then on, she finally had a home in the vast capital city.

She felt her empty heart filled to the brim; so this is what it feels like to be surrounded by loved ones.

No wonder some people spend their whole lives searching for their kinship. She originally thought she had few relatives, but she never expected that someone was secretly sabotaging her.

Whenever Song Zhaodi thought of Shu Ying's help on the train, her heart would be filled with emotion. She looked at Shu Ying sincerely and said, "Since we met, you have always been the one protecting me. I know you have put a lot of effort into my affairs. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of that failed marriage so quickly. Yingying, you have done a great job."

She is actually capable of trying to protect herself.

There will come a day when Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan will be away, and she can't always hide under their protection.

"I have learned a lot from you. Although it has not been verified yet, I think what I have learned will benefit me for life. I look forward to being as good as you every day, and I hope that one day if someone needs my help, I will not hesitate to lend a helping hand."

Humans are social animals after all, and they will always be influenced and assimilated by their friends and environment.

After she came to the capital, her style of doing things was similar to Shu Ying's, but she did not reject it.

Shu Ying was a little embarrassed by the praise, and she gently patted her cheek with one hand: "So that's how amazing I am in Sister Song's eyes."

"Oh no, we can't call her Sister Song anymore, we should call her Sister now!"

The courtyard was quiet, with only the guards at the gate still on duty. People outside were hurrying by; as the saying goes, three women make a drama.

But looking at the three people walking ahead, Xie Zhiyan could only shake his head, feeling helpless about not being able to fit in.

Song Zhaodi looked at her hands again: "Perhaps it's because I don't have to do heavy work now that I'm in the capital, my hands are much better than they were a few months ago. Even the wounds on my body have healed. Although there are still some faint scars, you can't see them unless you look closely. The scar removal medicine you gave me is really effective."

She originally had countless scars of all sizes on her arms, so Shu Ying specially gave her face cream and some scar-removing ointments.

She has been using it every morning and evening recently, and not only have her scars healed a lot, but her skin has also become smoother.

Song Zhaodi spoke frankly, and for the first time told Shu Ying what was in her heart: "Although I have always been the one taking care of you and the children outside, I know in my heart that you have always been the one taking care of me. I am where I am today because of you. Although you are younger than me, you are indeed my benefactor."

She rarely said such things, always feeling they were too cheesy. Sometimes, the mutual appreciation between women can simply be a matter of telepathy.

Huang Meiling said "good" several times, then glanced at Xie Zhiyan next to her with some disdain: "It's good that you don't mind this blockhead, Yingying, otherwise I would have lost such a good daughter."

Xie Zhiyan: ...

Sarcasm and veiled criticism?

Shu Ying glanced over and saw Xie Zhiyan's barely perceptible expression.

Her curved eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide her smile, and then she took Xie Zhiyan's arm with both hands.

"Of course I don't mind. He's the person I chose myself. I only married him because I liked him. Otherwise, I would never have agreed to the marriage."

Shu Ying's words made Xie Zhiyan straighten his chest even more, like a rooster full of fighting spirit.

Back home, the living room light was still on, and Li Qingqing sat on the sofa knitting clothes for the children with yarn in her hands.

Knowing that the family still had something to say, Li Qingqing exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Shu Ying and then returned to the courtyard, leaving them alone.

Shu Ying went upstairs to check on the children's room, and Huang Meiling followed behind her stealthily, afraid of waking the two children.

"These two little ones sleep so soundly every day that even thunder outside can't wake them up."

Shu Ying carefully covered the two children with blankets and drew the curtains even tighter. Huang Meiling looked at the children sleeping soundly and couldn't stop smiling.

"Children have a lot of energy, so we need to let them play and move around a lot during the day so that they can rest well at night. Sleep is crucial for their growth."

She missed her two children terribly the last time she saw them. It's a pity that as their grandmother, she has been absent from their growth for so many years and can't be with them all the time. She feels sad whenever she thinks about it.

Yangyang and Yueyue lay on their respective beds, and a string of origami cranes that Shuying had taught them to fold were pasted on the wall, making the small room very cozy.

“The children have indeed grown a lot recently. It doesn’t seem like much to look at them right now, but their clothes from last year are all too small. They can’t even fit into the shirts Qingqing made for them.”

In fact, Yueyue is even taller than Yangyang. Xie Zhiyan and Shuying have good genes and provide their children with comprehensive nutrition, so the two little ones are much taller than their peers.
