Chapter 154: Strange Auntie
“You seem to like this puppy very much?” Huo Xiao asked as he looked at Shen You who was looking at the puppy lovingly.
Shen You turned to look at Huo Xiao and said, “Don’t you think it looks a lot like me?”
Huo Xiao frowned slightly. “Were you often bullied when you were young?”
Shen You shrugged and said indifferently, “A child without parents growing up in the village, just imagine…”
“I remember when I was young, and when someone bullied me, I would hide and cry.” Shen You sat cross-legged on the ground and stroked the puppy’s back with one hand as she said softly.
“At that time, no one would coax me or sympathize with me.” Shen You sighed slightly.
“I didn’t dare to go back and let Grandma know.” Shen You said with a bitter smile.
“Although I knew she would definitely avenge me, she was so old then,” Shen You said with a smile on her face, which made Huo Xiao’s heart aching.
“I remember once I was chased by a big fierce wolfdog.” Shen You said with a strange expression on her face.
“Were you bitten?” Huo Xiao immediately asked with concern.
Shen You shook her head. “No, I didn’t. I just accidentally fell.”
“The big dog pounced on me and licked me…” Shen You said. When she recalled that scene, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“But I was really scared to death at that time!” Shen You said and opened her arms. “The dog was this big! It was the size of two of me!”
Huo Xiao nodded in understanding.
Shen You suddenly remembered something. “I remember that an auntie ran over and chased the big dog away. She then took me to the hospital.”
“That auntie even let me stay in the hospital for two days.” Shen You said as if some things were already blurred.
“That auntie must have liked you, to save you from such a fierce dog’s mouth!” Huo Xiao looked at Shen You who was trying to think hard.
Shen You shook her head as if she found it strange. “I had never seen that auntie in the village, and I don’t think I’ve seen her since then…”
The more Shen You thought about it, the stranger she felt. “According to the villagers, no one knew who had sent me to the hospital.”
“It was only after the hospital called the village committee that Uncle Chen’s family came to fetch me.” Shen You furrowed her brows.
“She brought me to the county hospital and then let me wait for someone to pick me up.” The more Shen You thought about it, the stranger it became.
“Who is this auntie?” Shen You scratched her hair in confusion.
Huo Xiao grabbed Shen You’s hand and said, “Don’t think so much. Maybe she was just a kind auntie passing by.”
Shen You immediately denied Huo Xiao’s statement. “That’s not right! There must be something wrong with that auntie!”
“Why?” Huo Xiao looked at Shen You strangely.
“I never thought about it before,” Shen You said as she recalled, “Not long after that auntie appeared, strangers appeared around me from time to time.”
“Until one day, the Shen family suddenly appeared and brought me back to the Shen family,” Shen You said as she recalled.
“I think at that time, the Shen family already discovered that Shen Jiao was not their child,” Shen You said softly.
“But they were not sure that a wild child like me, who grew up in the countryside, is worthy of the Shen family’s prestige,” Shen You said with a cold smile on her face.
Huo Xiao’s heart ached as he gently put his arm around Shen You’s shoulder.
Shen You did not resist. She just rested her head on Huo Xiao’s shoulder.
“I think, at that time, the Shen family must have sent a lot of people to observe me,” Shen You said and laughed suddenly. “They must have been angered to death.”
“They didn’t expect the Shen family to have such a daughter!” Shen You laughed and said, “They were afraid they had embarrassed the ancestors of the Shen family!”
Huo Xiao patted Shen You’s shoulder and comforted her.
