Since Wenrou had nothing to do at home by herself, she decided to stay and chat with Song Yuqiu for a while longer.

Taking advantage of Professor Peng's spare time, she asked him some more questions about planting.

These days, she's been busy with farm work and hasn't been able to attend Professor Peng's lectures, which she finds regrettable.

Professor Peng is an expert at the National Agricultural Research Institute; even a casual remark from him can be a piece of knowledge that you can't learn from books.

Professor Peng naturally liked Wenrou, a student who was both studious and ambitious.

He's willing to teach her as long as she's willing to learn.

Seeing that it was almost time, she said goodbye to Professor Peng and the others and prepared to go back.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Zhou Chunmei coming over.

Upon seeing Wenrou, Zhou Chunmei's expression immediately changed. "Wenrou, what are you doing here?"

Wenrou was also taken aback when she saw the change in Zhou Chunmei.

They haven't seen each other since she married Guo Qiang.

The current Zhou Chunmei is completely different from the one in her previous life.

Her clothes were dirty and tattered, and her hair looked like it hadn't been washed for days; it was greasy, and she had wrapped her face in a headscarf.

His facial skin was so dry it was almost peeling, and not only that, his face was covered in bruises from being beaten.

Upon seeing Wenrou, Zhou Chunmei instinctively covered the injuries on her face with a headscarf.

"What are you doing here?" Wenrou looked at Zhou Chunmei, then, remembering what Song Yuqiu had said, asked in a cold voice.

"If you can come, why can't I? Of course I'm here to see my godmother." Zhou Chunmei glared at Wenrou, then ignored her and prepared to walk inside.

Just then, Song Yuqiu chased after her, "Xiaorou, you left your things behind."

Wenrou forgot her headscarf when she came out, so Song Yuqiu brought it to her.

"Godmother!" Zhou Chunmei called out enthusiastically when she saw Song Yuqiu.

Upon hearing the sound, Song Yuqiu realized that Zhou Chunmei had come again.

Her face immediately darkened. "Why are you here again? I've told you, I don't have a goddaughter like you. My only daughter now is Xiaorou. Don't come here again."

"What did you say? You've accepted Wenrou as your daughter?" Zhou Chunmei asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Zhou Chunmei had originally planned to get the location of the treasure from Song Yuqiu, but now Wenrou had ruined her plans.

Could it be that she has already told Wenrou the location of the treasure?

"I was blind before, thinking you were a good person? I'm taking back what I said about agreeing to let you be my goddaughter. From now on, our two families have no relationship whatsoever. Don't come here again, or don't blame me for kicking you out with a stick."

Song Yuqiu now looks at Zhou Chunmei with obvious disgust.

"Fine, fine, you'll regret treating me like this." Zhou Chunmei pointed at Song Yuqiu, then turned and left in anger.

Wenrou was still a little worried when she saw Zhou Chunmei leave like that.

So he told her, "Godmother, Zhou Chunmei is not someone to be trifled with. You should be careful in the future. If anything happens, have someone come to me immediately."

Song Yuqiu nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I won't let her succeed."

Upon seeing Song Yuqiu, Wenrou suddenly thought of someone.

Just now at home, she felt that Song Yuqiu looked a lot like someone, but she couldn't quite place it.

At that moment, it suddenly occurred to her.

"Godmother, do you have any other relatives?"

Song Yuqiu was taken aback when she heard Wenrou's words, and then shook her head.

Since the incident at home, she has lost contact with all her relatives.

Seeing this, Wenrou asked directly, "Do you know Song Yulan?"

Upon hearing the name Song Yulan, Song Yuqiu's expression clearly changed.

"Do you know Song Yulan?" she asked gently.

Song Yulan is Huo Yanchuan's mother. She only just realized that Song Yuqiu and Song Yulan still have many similarities in their eyes and eyebrows.

Wenrou didn't hide anything from Song Yuqiu and nodded, "We've met once."

Song Yuqiu's expression became somewhat complicated. "How is she doing now? She's definitely doing better than me, right?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Wenrou's face, Song Yuqiu told her everything that had happened before.

"Song Yulan is my younger sister, three years younger than me. We used to be the closest sisters when we were at home, but then it all changed because of a man..."

At this point, Song Yuqiu sighed.

Wenrou glanced at Professor Peng inside, and heard Song Yuqiu nod and say, "You guessed right, that man is Old Peng."

It's so dramatic. Back then, both of them had their eyes on Lao Peng, but Lao Peng chose her instead.

From that time on, Yulan never called her "sister" again.

Later, something happened in the family. Yulan left with her mother, while she left with Lao Peng.

Later, she heard that Yulan had married a soldier, and she never heard from her again.

However, during the time she and Lao Peng were sent down here, she would still think of many things from the past. She wondered if Yulan would still forgive her for her selfishness back then after all these years.

"Actually, Yulan got to know Lao Peng first, and then introduced him to me."

Even now, Song Yuqiu still feels that she has let Song Yulan down.

She stole her sister's happiness, and after so many years, she doesn't even dare to inquire about Song Yulan or face her.

Wenrou was shocked when she heard about these things. She never expected that there would be such a dramatic story.

Although she had only met Song Yulan once and didn't have a very good impression of her.

However, judging from her clothes and appearance, you can tell that she should be doing well now.

Most importantly, she also has a son as outstanding as Huo Yanchuan.

Perhaps Song Yulan has long forgotten what happened back then, or perhaps, when she recalls those past events, she will think of Song Yuqiu.

"Godmother, so much time has passed since this happened. Song Yulan may have already forgotten about it. You should try to think more positively and not dwell on those painful memories of the past." Wenrou gently held Song Yuqiu's hand and comforted her.

"You're right, I don't want to think about it anymore." Song Yuqiu held Wenrou's hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

All she wants now is to see her son as soon as possible and reunite with her family.

After comforting Song Yuqiu, Wenrou hurried home.

Although she now knows that Song Yuqiu is Song Yulan's sister, she hasn't figured out how to tell her that Huo Yanchuan is Song Yulan's son.

She still needs to discuss this matter with Huo Yanchuan.

If that's the case, then Song Yuqiu is Huo Yanchuan's aunt. Huo Yanchuan probably doesn't even know he has a cousin.

In their previous life, Professor Peng and his wife never saw their son before they died.

In this life, no matter what, she will find a way to reunite their family, and she doesn't want to see such regret again.

Considering that Huo Yanchuan had just left and she didn't know when he would return, she had no choice but to put the matter aside for now and wait for him to come back.

Wenrou originally wanted to relax for a few days and have a good rest, but unexpectedly, Hao Gang and Political Commissar Zhao came to her door the next afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, there's something I need your help with," Hao Gang said anxiously to Wenrou as soon as he entered the room.

Political Commissar Zhao chimed in, "Yes, for this favor, I really can't think of anyone else but you."

Wenrou looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, "What exactly are you two talking about?"

However, before they could speak, Wenrou added, "Let me make this clear beforehand: I won't do anything that's thankless or unpaid."

She has been physically and mentally exhausted during this period, and the two babies in her belly are now complaining.

She wanted to stay home and rest during her pregnancy, and didn't want to get involved in anything else.

"Don't worry, you'll get your salary as usual. Besides, it's not physical labor," Political Commissar Zhao said with a smile upon hearing the gentle words.

Hearing them say that, Wenrou became somewhat curious.

"So what exactly happened?"

"Our unit is going to open a truck repair course, and after thinking it over, the political commissar thinks you are the most suitable to teach it." Hao Gang couldn't wait to tell Wenrou the news.

Although the higher-ups said they would send someone over, Wenrou's abilities have been recognized by everyone since she helped the army repair the truck last time.

Moreover, she was the only candidate recommended by Huo Tuan.

He and the political commissar both knew Huo Yanchuan well; he was neither a nepotist nor an irresponsible person.

He recommended Wenrou not because she was his lover, but simply because her repair skills were unmatched in the entire army.

Upon hearing about the job, Wenrou's eyes immediately lit up.

"How much is the salary?"

This job is indeed quite good; it doesn't require much physical exertion, you just give lectures every day and still earn money.

The key point is that she hasn't touched these repair parts in a long time, so this is a good opportunity for her to get familiar with them.

She never managed to open a repair shop in her previous life, which has always been a regret in her heart. Maybe she can fulfill her wish in this life?

Thinking about this, Wenrou became even more excited. Who could complain about having too much money?

With two salaries, that'll be 120 yuan a month.

In this day and age, that's an extremely high salary.

"Salary is easy to discuss. We'll still pay you monthly, sixty yuan a month. What do you think?" Political Commissar Zhao knew that Wenrou had agreed when he heard her words, so he readily agreed as well.

She nodded gently and readily agreed, "No problem, when do I start work?"

"You can prepare first, and classes can begin in a couple of days," the political commissar said.

He was worried that Wenrou wouldn't agree, but he didn't expect her to be so decisive.

That's good, it saves him a lot of trouble.

After seeing off Political Commissar Zhao and Hao Gang, Wenrou went to town and bought a lot of things to celebrate her new job.

When she returned, she was carrying large bags and small packages, making everyone in the residential compound envious.

"Hey girl, I heard you're going to give a lecture to the troops, is that true?" Sister Wang asked curiously when she heard the news.

Wenrou nodded gently, "It's true, I'll be going to work in a couple of days."

She didn't try to hide it, since everyone in the family compound would probably know about it in a few days anyway, so there was no point in trying to cover it up.

Besides, she earns her living through her own abilities; she doesn't steal or rob. Let those who are envious be envious.

"You're amazing!" Sister Wang said with envy when she heard that Wenrou had gotten another job.

Who says women are inferior to men? She will teach her daughter to be as gentle as Wenrou and to study hard.

Growing up means you don't need to rely on men to live a better life.

"Sister-in-law, you're very good at needlework. There are many tailor shops in our town. You can go and take a look when you have time. Maybe you can find a job there?" Wenrou kindly reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Sister Wang felt somewhat uncertain, "Can I do it?"

"Why not? I've seen your needlework; it's no worse than what you get at a tailor shop. Now that your daughter is in school, it's time for you to start thinking about your own future. Do you really want to rely on your man for the rest of your life?"

Wenrou's gentle words made Wang's wife start to think. Of course, she also wanted to find a job like Wenrou and not have to rely on a man anymore.

Since marrying into the Zhu family, she has only been able to do housework and farm.

But now, Wenrou says she can find a job on her own and doesn't need to rely on a man anymore, and she is indeed tempted.

"Girl, you're right. I should live for myself this time. I'll listen to you and go to the tailor shop in town tomorrow."

Suddenly, Sister Wang was filled with hope for the future. Her tone was no longer one of worry that her husband wouldn't give her money or that he would abandon her. Instead, she decided to make something of herself first.

When she has money, if the Zhu family dares to bully her, she will take Xiaoya and live alone.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Wang had come to her senses, Wenrou was relieved.

She was planning to rest at home before going to work, but the next day she heard the news that Song Yuqiu had an accident.

Upon hearing the news, she rushed over and saw Professor Peng looking anxious and worried.

"Xiao Rou, you're here." Seeing Wen Rou, Professor Peng felt as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

Wenrou had never seen Professor Peng like this before, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"How is my godmother?"

Professor Peng shook his head. "The situation is not good."

Upon hearing this, Wenrou rushed inside.

When she entered the room, she saw Song Yuqiu lying on the bed, barely breathing.

She was still clinging to life, just waiting for Wenrou to come over.

"Xiao Rou, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Wenrou, Song Yuqiu excitedly reached out and grabbed her.

"What happened? She was fine just a couple of days ago, how could she suddenly..." Wenrou looked at her like this, her eyes couldn't help but get a little wet.

"I know my own body. Don't cry. Thank you for being with me these past few days."

Song Yuqiu, holding Wenrou's hand, had already begun to give her last words.

She took the pocket watch that had almost been stolen from her neck and placed it in Wenrou's hand. "This is my lifelong obsession. It's just a pity that I won't live to see my son again. Wenrou, can you help me find him? This pocket watch and the things inside are worth some money. Consider it a reward and give it to you."

Wenrou looked at the pocket watch in her palm and hurriedly pushed it back, "No, this is your most important thing, I can't take it."

She had risked her life to protect this pocket watch from being stolen, but now she was giving it to me.

"Good girl, I've already accepted you as my daughter, but I haven't had a chance to give you anything yet. In this house, this pocket watch is the most valuable thing, so please accept it." Song Yuqiu put the pocket watch into Wenrou's hand, holding her hand tightly, afraid that she would refuse again.
