She Lives without Regret in This Life-Chapter 856 - 897: Gave It All
Sheng Laosan’s words were like a series of thunderclaps, constantly striking at Shen Luhua’s heart. She just wanted to protect An’an, to prevent her from getting hurt again, and yet, all these years, she had been wrong...
Inside Shen Luhua, it felt like her heart was being cut by knives. Growing up in such a family, her only dream was to find an honest man who would treat her well for a lifetime and to live a stable life. But An’an was different; her thoughts and pursuits were also different. Previously, she had been too domineering, too self-righteous.
How could she decide An’an’s entire life? If her sister knew in her resting place, she surely wouldn’t be happy. Back then, her sister married that man regardless of everything, and in the end, it led to a shattered heart and suicide. Her moth-to-flame determination had scared her.
Since she couldn’t stop An’an now, all she could do was pray that the Hai Family would find her a bit slower. Pray that An’an wouldn’t follow her sister’s old path.
"Luhua, what’s wrong?" It was only now that Sheng Laosan realized something was off with Shen Luhua, "Are you okay? When An’an left, she specifically instructed you not to get upset. She’ll come back to see you when she has time."
"I’m fine!" Shen Luhua gasped, "If she wants to go, let her go!" In fact, she was following closely behind the father and daughter, and she had heard everything An’an said.
"You agreed?" Sheng Laosan was overjoyed. He had been prepared for Luhua to give him the cold shoulder for a month, even prepared for her to angrily chase after them to the city. He never expected her to actually agree.
"Did you really agree? You really don’t oppose it?"
"Really!" Shen Luhua rolled her eyes at him, "When An’an left, did you give her money? Did she have enough clothes? Is everything arranged on Ningning’s side?" If it weren’t for the fact that he arranged for the mother-in-law to accompany An’an, she had really planned to give him the cold shoulder for a month. He was too bold, daring to secretly act behind her back.
If she hadn’t gotten up to use the bathroom today, she would have still been kept in the dark.
"I gave it, I gave it all!"
"What do you mean by you gave it all?"
Sheng Laosan scratched his head and said, "I gave all the money we had."
"What?" Shen Luhua jumped up, "You gave away all our money, what about our spring planting? What about the money for daily living expenses? Are we supposed to starve?"
"Ah? I didn’t think that far. I was afraid that An’an would go to the city without money and be ridiculed, and afraid that she’d be too thrifty and treat herself poorly."
Shen Luhua almost wanted to kick him. Whether it was Ningning or An’an, they both had more money than them. An’an’s savings from selling bean sprouts almost matched their annual income, and Ningning’s money during the New Year had shocked her.
The couple bickered as they walked home, and along the way, Sheng Laosan was so criticized he couldn’t lift his head. Once they pushed open the door of the main room, they saw a stack of scattered money still on the dining table. Counted altogether, it was actually quite a bit, and Shen Luhua couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears in Sheng Laosan’s arms.
To be able to find such a good husband in her lifetime had already satisfied her heart.
"Don’t cry, don’t cry, the money is still here! An’an didn’t take it."
Sheng Laosan’s words made Shen Luhua almost want to take back her tears; he was too clumsy with words.

In the morning, Sheng Ning packed her dormitory things and with a big bag on her back, left the General Union, first heading to the War Wolf Rescue Team. She hadn’t been home in almost three months, and as soon as she entered the team, she was suddenly surrounded by many people, leaving her at a loss.
"Sister-in-law, why are you back?"
