The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 252 - 248: Wen Ran: Still Pretending?

The brigade leader is a practical person, and when prompted by Wen Ran, he pondered and said, hey!

What that damned girl said actually makes damned good sense. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

No one’s committing murder or arson, so just let her be!

That dissociative identity disorder, split or not, she can do what she pleases.

If she’s idle, arguing with herself isn’t impossible either.

"You tell me, why are these people’s hearts so crooked! They want their kids to have a good life, but don’t work hard themselves, and do that insane cuckoo-in-the-nest kind of thing..."

The brigade leader simply couldn’t understand what’s in these people’s heads.

"No kidding," Wen Ran said speechlessly, "If it’s not because of being mistreated or provoked, who would split off a personality for no reason?"

Thinking about it, Shen Xianxian’s days are indeed not easy.

Her life couldn’t go on, yet she was deeply attached to the beauty of the world.

At the brink of life and death, Shen Xianxian split off Shen Yueyue to keep her alive and to bear all the world’s ugliness for her.

"In that case, this girl is indeed quite pitiable."

The brigade leader sighed, "I guess, even if she was taken back home, that family didn’t treat her well either."

It’s not hard to deduce this.

If Shen Xianxian had been treated well, she wouldn’t show up here on rainy days.

Shen Xianxian appeared next to the door at some point, leaning against the door frame, "Could you give me paper and a pen?"

Her eyes were full of timidness, "I, I want to write to my family."

Wen Ran was taken aback by this, uncertainly, "Shen Xianxian?"

Shen Xianxian looked with tearful eyes, biting her lip, nodding, "Thank you, Wen Ran, you saved me."

Wen Ran nodded, still a bit surprised, it seemed that the splinter personality of Shen Xianxian, Shen Yueyue, was indeed strong.

She could sleep at will and make way for the primary personality anytime and anywhere.

Handing Shen Xianxian the paper and pen, she began to write with her injured head bowed.

After just five minutes, Shen Xianxian looked up, weakly asking, "Can you give me an envelope?"

"Sure."

With the envelope handed over, Shen Xianxian wrote an address on it, blew the ink dry, then handed it to Wen Ran, "Could you please deliver this letter to this place?

Once they read the letter, they’ll naturally give you benefits and rewards."

Wen Ran took the envelope, "Shen Yueyue, your acting isn’t bad."

Shen Xianxian: "..."

She looked innocent, "What?"

"Still pretending?"

Shen Xianxian’s face immediately fell, and Shen Yueyue pulled a long face, "I thought my impersonation was pretty good, how did you find out?"

"Your memories should be independently stored, right."

Unexpectedly, just one interaction revealed the biggest flaw to Wen Ran, Shen Yueyue nodded, "Yes."

"Don’t impersonate anymore," Wen Ran’s face was full of indescribable confusion, "Honestly, it’s quite jarring."

Clearly the same face, the same body, yet different personalities exuded completely different vibes.

Now thinking about it, Wen Ran felt she ran away just in time.

If not, staying where the original lead lived, she’d get caught sooner or later.

"Where’s the disharmony?"

Shen Yueyue looked eager to improve, "Tell me, or you might just be fooling me, what then?"

"You’re kidding, what’s there to do, if I’m fooling you, then I’m just fooling you, no need for a reason?

Moreover, with this brain of yours, I’m not mocking you, but anyone could easily fool you."

Shen Yueyue had nothing to say.

No one is perfect.

Shen Xianxian was smart and clever, but her physical prowess was lacking.

Shen Yueyue was straightforward, but her physical prowess was practically sky-high.

Wen Ran didn’t feel like making the trip, casually handing the envelope to the brigade leader, "Uncle, find someone reliable to take a look at what’s going on."

The brigade leader nodded, "Alright, leave it to me, don’t worry."

With the envelope in hand, he left, Wen Ran looked at the gloomy sky outside, thinking it might rain again in a while, so she decided against venturing out.

"Hey," Wen Ran looked at Shen Yueyue, "Does your head still hurt?"

Shen Yueyue touched the place where she was bandaged, honestly saying, "It’s manageable, I’m not very sensitive to pain."

Being insensitive to pain is definitely a cheat!

Fleeting thoughts came to mind, Wen Ran dismissed them, casually instructing, "Since it doesn’t hurt much, go ahead and wash your clothes."

Shen Yueyue: "?"

She was dumbfounded, "I mean, after all, I’m a patient, letting me work is unreasonable, right."

Wen Ran: "What’s unreasonable? You’re washing your own clothes, is that alright!"

Shen Yueyue fell silent.

True as that may be, but she’s a patient now.

Can’t a patient deserve some preferential treatment?

Elsewhere maybe, but not here...

Let’s leave it as a question mark for now.

On rainy days, everyone’s fishing efforts were thwarted, and they all returned home instead.

The Xiao Family had nothing to do either, they were lucky enough to have caught a thirty-pound fish, almost half the height of a person when lifted.

Mr. Xiao, thrilled, was already wandering around showing off the fish.

Meanwhile, the water was boiling, the scallion, ginger, and garlic were chopped, waiting for the fish to come home and get cooked...

An outraged Mrs. Xiao grabbed a metal spoon and cursed Mr. Xiao for being unreliable.

Wen Ran saw it as usual, Hongguo stayed quiet, and Xiao Chenxing, being a true daughter, even stirred things up, trying to get her dad home just to face Mrs. Xiao’s spoon.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Hetao and Red Army’s neck chains were unfastened.

Now, a wolf and a dog played in mud pits, in pure bliss.

Songzhu remained a glutton as ever, gnawing on chestnuts, yet this time, there was a small sable beside him, watching Songzhu gnaw the chestnuts with a tilted head.

Once Songzhu painstakingly cracked open the chestnut, the sable silently reached out its paw.

Sigh~

Just like that, it got something for nothing.

Songzhu stared at his empty paws, falling silent.

He dared not snatch back, Songzhu was a vegetarian, but the sable was a proper carnivore.

Sigh, is there bullying even at home~!

Shen Yueyue felt a bit dazed watching this, and before she could snap out of it, Mr. Xiao returned home cheerfully with the big fat fish.

Mrs. Xiao was eager to jump up and pin Mr. Xiao down to pummel.

When they were young, everything seemed reliable. Now older, everything seemed enough.

"Look at yourself... "

Mrs. Xiao took off her shoes, "You’re getting old, can’t you act like an adult? Huh? The kids have had kids, yet you’re becoming more and more unruly."

"Shilan, no, don’t be mad, Shilan, let me explain!"

"Explain your head!!!"

What greeted Mr. Xiao was Mrs. Xiao’s furious punches, fists as big as sandbags.

The whole yard burst into laughter.

Shen Yueyue looked at the Xiao Family, feeling suddenly distant.

This seems like what a home should be...
