Qiu Qingmei didnât expect things to turn out this way.
She was once so proud when she left the Mechanical Factory, now sheâs just as scared, hugging her knees and sitting on the bed, her face full of tears.
She missed home, missed her parents and brothers. She wanted to leave here, but she didnât even have the courage to leave this hostel.
At the same time, the Qiu Family was also concerned about Qiu Qingmei far away in the Capital: "Old man, do you think our young lady has arrived at that place yet?"
Qiu Jouxuan lit the water pipe in his hand and took a deep drag: "She should be there by now."
Huang Yufeng paused her shoe sole sewing: "I wonder if our young lady is getting used to it over there?"
Qiu Jouxuan inhaled several more times silently, truth be told, heâs been worried these past few days too, fearing that they might see through, and their young lady being alone over there would be in trouble, and also afraid that if things were exposed, the whole family would be implicated.
He sighed: "Since the young lady was born, our familyâs life has changed, she is blessed."
Huang Yufeng felt much better after hearing what her old man said: "Youâre right, our Qingmei is our good fortune. Ever since I was pregnant with her, our lives have been smooth sailing, there wonât be any problems."
Meanwhile, the oblivious third son of the Qiu Family, Qiu Hongyuan walked in: "Mom, Dad, when will my sister come back?"
Huang Yufeng replied to the third sonâs inquiry: "Maybe soon, she still has to come back for the college entrance exam."
Qiu Hongyuan just washed his hair, drying it with a towel, nonchalantly said: "Thatâs what I thought too, Qingmeiâs grades are just average, if she doesnât come back soon, it might be too late."
Huang Yufeng worried that the third son would keep asking: "Alright, you donât need to worry about this, go water the vegetable plots instead of wandering around here."
Qiu Hongyuan just thought his mom missed his little sister, joked: "Fine, Iâll go now, wonât disrupt you missing the little one."

Han Chunli left the hostel in a rush towards a nearby hospital.
As soon as she entered the ward, she saw her daughter Ji Xiaowen with a pale face trying to sit up, quickly stepping forward: "Xiaowen, let mom help you."
Ji Xiaowen heard the voice and didnât even care about herself: "Mom, did she agree?"
A flash of ferocity crossed Han Chunliâs face: "Soon, you donât need to worry, she will agree, Doctor Zhang said you shouldnât get too emotional these days, you must listen."
Ji Xiaowen felt reassured by her momâs promise: "I understand."
Han Chunli looked at her daughter: "Do you want mom to help you walk a bit?"
Ji Xiaowen shook her head: "No need, Dad just helped me walk a round before he left."
Thinking about her dad going home to cook, she couldnât help but frown: "Mom, has Aunt been busy lately?"
Hearing her daughter mention the third sister Han Chunxue, she couldnât help feeling angry: "Who knows about her?"
Ji Xiaowen couldnât help but turn her head: "Mom, did you quarrel with Aunt?"
Han Chunli didnât want her daughter to worry: "Of course not, your Second Cousin and his partner havenât left yet, we shouldnât always trouble your Aunt."
Ji Xiaowen was a bit skeptical, but since she hadnât heard her mom complaining about Aunt lately, she didnât think much of it.
What she didnât know was, Han Chunli just didnât want her daughter to worry, fearing it would affect her health. Her daughter had repeatedly instructed her to maintain a good relationship with her family, and now both the Second Brother and Third Sister had issues with her, she didnât know how to say it, let alone lose face.
Meanwhile, Han Jingchen learned about the Qiu Family through the two people who picked up Qiu Qingmei, and immediately sent someone to investigate in Sanyuan City.
He wanted to know what relationship Qiu Shaocheng had with this Qiu Family?
He also sent people to search for the whereabouts of Qiu Shaocheng, some things needed to be investigated thoroughly, otherwise, he felt uneasy.
When Su Jingsong came in, he saw the officer standing alone by the window: "Mr. Han, itâs time for your therapy."
Han Jingchen used to be very resistant to these, but ever since he got news of his wife and daughter, he cooperated a lot: "Letâs go."

On this day, when Yu Xinyan arrived at school, she saw Teacher Chu standing not far away.
Before she could get closer, Teacher Chu shouted at her: "Xinyan, come over here."
Yu Xinyan could probably guess why she was happy: "Teacher Chu, is there good news?"
Teacher Chu laughed heartily: "Did you figure it out?"
Zhao Jianlan answered eagerly: "Teacher Chu, with that spirited look on your face, anyone could tell."
Teacher Chu smiled broadly at Yu Xinyan: "Letâs go, Principal Feng wants to see you, itâs good news."
Zhao Jianlan was even more excited than Yu Xinyan: "Xinyan, hurry up and go."
Yu Xinyan nodded at her: "You go back to class and wait for me."
Zhao Jianlan waved excitedly: "I know, go, go."
Once Yu Xinyan left with Teacher Chu, the surrounding classmates immediately gathered around Zhao Jianlan: "Zhao Jianlan, what is Teacher Chu looking for Yu Xinyan for?"
