Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Noted in My Little Notebook

Jiang Cheng followed Uncle Sun a bit anxiously towards the courtyard.

On the way, she learned that Shen Xing had gotten into a fight with a classmate at school and accidentally fell into a drainage ditch.

"Don’t worry, kids fight all the time; they’ll grow out of it while fighting."

Uncle Sun had a good impression of Jiang Cheng, thanks to her personable nature.

"That’s true."

Jiang Cheng understood that Uncle Sun was trying to comfort her out of kindness; she didn’t need to determine who was right or wrong.

The two walked into the alley, and after the next turn, they’d be there.

The dark road was filled with the sound of wind howling through, and the moonlight made the trees’ shadows dance.

"Brother—don’t go—"

Shen Yue’s voice.

Jiang Cheng’s heart sank, and for the first time, she looked at Uncle Sun in panic.

"Didn’t he just hurt his leg?"

Uncle Sun was also startled.

"Yeah, I didn’t see any other injuries."

Jiang Cheng had already rushed into the courtyard, with Uncle Sun following closely behind.

In the courtyard, under the dim light, Shen Yue stood angrily at the doorway with her arms outstretched, blocking Shen Xing who was trying to hop on one leg.

Jiang Cheng felt relieved; it turned out to be that kind of "don’t go."

Scared me to death.

"Shen Yue, move. I need to go to the bathroom."

"No way! Granny said you can’t put weight on your leg."

Shen Yue stubbornly blocked Shen Xing at the door.

"Sister Jiang Cheng!"

Shen Yue still stubbornly stretched out her arms, refusing to lower them, saying, "Don’t try to trick me!"

Shen Xing said helplessly, "I’m not, Sister Jiang Cheng is really back."

Jiang Cheng had already come over and stood beside Shen Yue.

"I’m back."

Shen Yue’s little nose suddenly felt sore, and she pursed her little lips.

"Sister—"

"It’s okay, I’m back."

Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Xing, whose face was flushed with embarrassment.

"Do you have to go number two?"

Shen Xing nodded shyly; he really couldn’t hold it any longer.

Jiang Cheng calmly fetched the slop bucket from the house, put it inside, and found some toilet paper to place beside it.

"We’ll be outside. Hold onto the table so you don’t fall in. Tomorrow, I’ll figure out a lid for it."

Jiang Cheng led Shen Yue away, closed the door properly, and walked over to Uncle Sun to express her gratitude.

Uncle Sun waved his hand, saying, "As long as the person is okay, scared me half to death."

Uncle Sun asked if she needed help, but Jiang Cheng said no, so he went back first.

Jiang Cheng mentally noted to thank Uncle Sun and sat on the steps with Shen Yue to inquire about the fighting incident.

"Yue Yue, does Zhu Xiaopang often bully you and Shen Xing?"

Shen Yue nodded with her little bun face, feeling wronged, "Sister, they say we’re orphans, say Mom and Dad don’t like us, that’s why they left."

"They even say I cursed Dad and Mom to death, sister, is it really my fault?"

"Of course not. Who do you believe, your sister or them?"

Shen Yue firmly said, "I believe Sister."

Jiang Cheng held Shen Yue’s little shoulders and let her lean against her.

"That’s right! You have parents; they just went ahead because they were sick. You’re not an orphan. You have a big brother, Brother Xing Xing, Granny Shen, and me, your sister. We all love you, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

Shen Yue nodded.

Just a door away, Shen Xing leaned against the wall, the stubbornness of a teenager making him grit his teeth. His hand wiped his eyes vigorously, but couldn’t stop the tears from flowing.

Ten minutes later, Shen Xing opened the door hopping on one leg.

"Sis—"

"Shen Yue, help your brother back to his room."

After Jiang Cheng gave this instruction, she took the slop bucket and a bucket of water outside to the public restroom.

Shen Xing didn’t want to lie down, but he wanted to cooperate with Shen Yue after seeing her cry. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
