The following day, Su Jing woke up early, intending to prepare a hearty breakfast for her family.
Su Shen had not returned home the previous night, and when he did arrive in the morning, he found Su Jing busily working in the kitchen. He had no intention of disturbing her, instead planning to go upstairs to check on Gu Zi.
Upon turning around, Su Jing caught sight of Su Shen’s figure. Gathering her courage, she called out to him, “Brother, sit down and have something to eat. I have something to discuss with you.” She served a plate of breakfast onto the dining table, her gaze following Su Shen.
On the rare occasions that Su Shen and Su Jing conversed, it was the first time she had asked him to sit down for a chat. He complied, peeling a boiled egg as he spoke in a deep voice, “Go ahead.”
Su Jing took a seat opposite him and began, “Brother, I’ve thought it through these past few days. I want to break up with Tian Hai. I left a breakup letter when I left the Tian family, and I won’t be with him anymore. I plan to leave for a while, I want to travel, to see the world. Sister-in-law said that the beauty of our homeland is the best way to heal, and I want to try it.
“So, I also want to ask for your help. I don’t have a formal job right now, could you let me leave as a pig farm employee and write me a letter of introduction, is that possible?”
The current policy required a letter of introduction for travel. With such a letter, it would be easier to find accommodations at tourist spots and purchase group train or bus tickets.
As long as the letter bore the red stamp of an organization, it held absolute authority.
Upon hearing this, Su Shen fell silent for a while. He wondered if things would have turned out differently had he tried to prevent Su Jing and Tian Hai’s relationship in a different way.
However, as Gu Zi had said, Su Jing should have her own life and be responsible for it.
His eyes were dark as he forced a hint of concern into his voice, telling Su Jing, “I can write you the letter of introduction, Su Jing. I hope you can start a new life. If you ever get tired, you can always come back. This home will always be here for you.”
Listening to her brother’s somewhat stiff and strange tone, Su Jing felt a mix of amusement and a warmth she had never felt before from her brother. She nodded, “Brother, thank you. I will take good care of myself.”
Su Shen nodded in response, saying lightly, “We’re family, there’s no need for such words.” After finishing his egg, he washed his hands and went upstairs. By the time he reached his room, Gu Zi was already up and applying makeup in front of the vanity mirror.
Upon hearing from Su Shen about Su Jing’s travel plans, Gu Zi recalled Su Jing buying a suitcase the day before. She remarked, “I thought she was acting strange yesterday. It turns out she already had plans. Regardless, it’s better than her staying in the same place.”
However, Gu Zi couldn’t help but worry. Would the Tian family let Su Jing leave so easily?
As Gu Zi pondered this, the Tian family indeed showed up that morning. Mother Tian arrived with two men, claiming that Su Jing was Tian Hai’s fiancée and insisting on taking her back to the Tian family.
Fortunately, Su Shen was still at home when the Tian family arrived. With him handling the situation, Gu Zi didn’t need to worry too much.
Su Shen didn’t indulge the family. He had them sit in the yard, intending to sever Su Jing and Tian Hai’s relationship once and for all.
He told Su Jing, “Since you’ve already left a breakup letter for Tian Hai, it means there’s no relationship between you two anymore. Now that Tian Hai’s mother has come looking for you, you should make it clear once again that you and Tian Hai are no longer connected.”
Su Jing nodded, her tone quick and firm as she said, “Auntie, I made it very clear in the letter to Tian Hai. We’ve broken up, we’ll each go our own way, and we won’t have anything to do with each other. I won’t go back with you, and there’s no need to go to your house.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Tian’s chest heaved with anger. She retorted, “My son hasn’t admitted to breaking up with you, so you’re still boyfriend and girlfriend. Su Jing, stop making a fuss. Tian Hai was wrong before, but I promise you that he will be devoted to you from now on. Come back with me, and I’ll prepare your wedding.”
Mother Tian was out of options. She could only speak softly, at least to coax Su Jing back to the Tian family. Her son, Tian Hai, still hadn’t recovered from his leg injury.
Her husband had been led astray by Su Jing’s instigation and had beaten up the nephew who had insulted him in Daqing Village. The nephew had gone to the police station as soon as he returned home, and her husband had been taken away by the police.
