Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 12 - Property Distribution

Mr. Zhen and the mistress soon left the yard, and Fu's father and Mrs. Fu also took their leave.

Mrs. Zhen, with eyes red, escorted them to the gate, then turned and faced her children, unable to hold back her tears.

Zhen Yu approached her mother expressionlessly and hugged her, patting her on the back.

"Don't cry, Mom! Crying doesn't help!"

Zhen Yan's expression was much more vivid, with a mixture of hatred, heartache, hesitancy, and helplessness.

Hearing his sister's words, he too advised Mrs. Zhen not to cry. Mrs. Zhen, reassured by her son, quieted down and took each of her children by the hand and led them inside.

The three of them sat side by side on the edge of the living room's large platform bed. Mrs. Zhen asked, "Your father and I are divorcing, who will you follow?"

"I'm definitely following you! I won't follow that bastard!" Zhen Yan jumped up, gritting his teeth in anger.

"I'll follow you too!" Zhen Yu answered resoundingly.

Mrs. Zhen first smiled relievedly, but soon her face was filled with worry again.

Zhen Yu just thought about the post-divorce scene for a moment and immediately understood her mother's worries.

She was afraid she couldn't support both children by herself.

"Mom! He has to provide child support!"

Mrs. Zhen's frown suddenly relaxed; yes! The children aren't solely her responsibility, why should she bear all the costs alone? He needs to give money!

"Xiao Yu! Our family doesn't have much, just this house and the hardware store. How should we divide it?"

"Mom! Why don't you ask me? What does Xiao Yu know? I say give him nothing, let him leave empty-handed!" Zhen Yan clenched his fists, rushing to answer.

"That's impossible," Zhen Yu promptly retorted, "He shouldn't even dream about the house! The store definitely needs to be divided."

"How should it be divided? We can't possibly still run the business together, can we?" Mrs. Zhen couldn't help asking back.

Zhen Yu almost instantly came up with a viable solution.

"Choose between the store and the inventory."

Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Yan both cast their eyes down to think, but it was Zhen Yan who first raised his head to speak, "Okay! But should we take the store or the goods?"

Mrs. Zhen also raised her eyes and stared at Zhen Yu, highly approving of her daughter's performance tonight, unconsciously relying on her as the backbone.

"Take the store," Zhen Yu looked directly into her mother's eyes, instructing, "Hold on to one point! An orphan and widow can't handle moving goods! Give him the goods! Let him move them himself!"

Mrs. Zhen nodded vigorously, "I understand! Don't worry, Xiao Yu, I can handle it!"

Zhen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, patted her mother on the shoulder, and turned into her bedroom, leaving the mother and son still sitting on the edge of the platform bed, whispering to each other.

The incident of Zhen Yu almost drowning in the water tank today, after this commotion, was like a breeze leaving no trace, with no one in the family mentioning it again.

This is just as well! Zhen Yu thought lightly as she sat at her desk, wondering how to quickly make such an embarrassing incident forgotten.

Her study time today was seriously insufficient. Since Zhen Yu had already finished her summer homework, she reluctantly pulled out a textbook from the desk to read.

Interrupted by being called to have dinner, she then returned to her room to continue studying.

Her brother came in to sleep and didn't disturb her until she looked up and saw it was past midnight; she then put down her book, washed up, and went to bed.

She called out the system routinely, seeing the ability points/knowledge points had turned to 0/56.

She hid the interface and closed her eyes, but Zhen Yu couldn't fall asleep.

In her previous life, she thought her father was just too cold-hearted, marrying anew so soon after her mother's death. Today, she realized it was not so simple!

If her father in the previous life was also already involved with that woman, then the premature birth of her half-sister from a different mother after seven months also had a reasonable explanation.

Hmm~~ what a spectacular drama! Zhen Yu sneered silently in the darkness.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she had always been kept in the dark, and her mother's extreme actions merely led to her own ruin.

She wanted to see! Whether in this life, the so-called little sister, would still be born before the Spring Festival, and whether she could still live carefree...

The next morning right after breakfast, Mr. Zhen arrived, Zhen Yu didn't even give him a glance and pulled Zhen Yan, walking straight past him and out of the courtyard gate amidst his hesitant words.

When leaving, she even "thoughtfully" locked the courtyard door, completely vacating the space for the "couple."

"Little sister! Aren't we going to listen?" Zhen Yan was reluctant to leave, his steps slow.

"No, let's go fast." Zhen Yu used some force to pull him to the clinic entrance, calmly instructing, "Don't come home early!"

Without caring whether Zhen Yan had absorbed her words, she turned and entered the clinic, greeted Han Youliang, and then went straight to knock on Han Mingyue's door.

As soon as Han Mingyue opened the door, he saw a girl standing outside whose eyes seemed to hold ice and snow, and her whole being exuded a chilly air, which took him by surprise.

Zhen Yu tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a smile, and inwardly lamented.

This is too fragile!

Scared by just this!

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Boys shouldn't be so easily frightened! No, no, no!

She walked into the room, sat down on a chair, and said to Han Mingyue, who was still holding the doorknob, "Close the door."

"..." Isn't this his room? Right? How could she act like she's the owner and even order him around...

Han Mingyue silently closed the door, sat next to her, picked up a book from the table intending to continue reading, but the girl spoke.

"Can I borrow your first year junior high school textbooks? I want to take them home to read." Her voice was cold and indifferent, but pleasant to hear.

Han Mingyue looked up at her and without thinking, blurted out, "I can tutor you."

Zhen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, was this the Han Mingyue she knew?

In her memories of the past life, he had never tutored anyone's homework, let alone offered proactively.

At least during the years when their relationship was relatively close, he never mentioned tutoring her.

Immediately after Han Mingyue spoke, he regretted it, seeing her delay in responding, he wanted to say something to break the awkwardness, his lips moved for a moment, but still, nothing came out.

Zhen Yu watched as the young boy's face turned from red to pale, and after he lowered his head, she finally answered, "Sure!"

Han Mingyue abruptly looked up, his gaze difficult to interpret.

Zhen Yu calmly met his gaze for a moment before turning away first, leaning over to pull out the second volume of Andersen's Complete Fairy Tales from the shelf, then sat down and quietly began to read.

Han Mingyue took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, also without speaking, buried in his book.

Until the alarm clock rang, Zhen Yu looked up, it was 11:30.

"I should leave." Zhen Yu closed the book, but didn't move.

Han Mingyue placed the book on the table, looking at her without speaking.

The young boy made up his mind, in the future unless she spoke, he would never speak first to avoid ending up in a difficult situation like earlier, he had never felt so embarrassed.

"Please find all the materials from your first year of junior high school for me, I still need to take some, thank you."

"Okay."

Hearing the confirming answer, Zhen Yu stood up, placed the book back, bid farewell, and left.
