But when they got home, they didn't see Mr. Ou immediately.

It's not even noon yet; he's at work.

Lin Yu and Ou Manqing were exhausted from their journey, so they took a shower and went to Ou Manqing's room to sleep.

"I've washed and dried the sheets and blankets, so you can just sleep on them directly."

This is a mother's love; knowing her child is coming home, she will air out her blankets beforehand.

Lying in bed, Lin Yu and Ou Manqing were enveloped by soft, sun-scented blankets.

Lin Yu took a deep sniff: "This smells really good."

She rubbed her face against the wall and yawned, "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

Ou Manqing pulled the blanket up for her. "Okay, go to sleep."

Soon, two even breaths filled the room, and the two people fell into a deep sleep.

Mrs. Ou peeked out from the doorway and, seeing that the two were asleep, smiled and went to the kitchen to cook.

Xiao Zhao asked from the kitchen doorway, "Auntie, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Mrs. Ou greeted him with a smile, "That's all. Why don't you stay for lunch?"

It was a little past eleven o'clock. Xiao Zhao shook his head: "I have to go back to work."

You can't expect him to be waiting for dinner at someone else's house before the leader has even gone home, can you?

Knowing his concerns, Mrs. Ou thought for a moment and realized that the two children might not wake up at noon.

Mr. Ou will not come home for lunch either.

So he said, "Then you go back to work, and come back with Lao Ou tonight so we can have dinner together."

Xiao Zhao nodded in agreement: "Then I'll be going now."

As predicted by Mother Ou, Lin Yu and Ou Manqing hadn't slept all night and were now completely unable to get up.

I slept until four o'clock in the afternoon.

After Lin Yu woke up, she quickly left the room.

Mother Ou is watering the vegetables in the garden.

Lin Yu rubbed her eyes, finally able to observe the Ou family's house.

Ou's father's family are locals of Guangcheng, and this house was left to Ou Manqing by his grandfather.

Mr. Ou built the current two-story building and a courtyard.

Downstairs is the living room and kitchen, and upstairs are the rooms for Ou Manqing and his elderly parents, as well as a study.

The courtyard downstairs was turned into two vegetable gardens by Mother Ou.

The weather is still very cold where they are, and the vegetables haven't grown yet.

But here it is already lush and green, two patches of green.

It's a sight to behold and a delight to behold.

Lin Yushen stretched and said, "Good afternoon, Auntie!"

As soon as Mrs. Ou came out of the vegetable garden, she smiled and said, "Good afternoon, have you had enough sleep?"

Lin Yu nodded: "That's enough, that's enough. If I keep sleeping, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Mom, Xiaoyu."

Ou Manqing, with her hair down, also came downstairs.

"Get up, are you hungry?"

The two of them took a shower and went to sleep; they hadn't eaten anything yet.

When she asked me that, I actually realized I was a little hungry.

Mother Ou immediately recognized it, so she walked into the kitchen while saying, "I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."

Lin Yu and Ou Manqing followed her in and helped her cook. They quickly cooked two bowls of noodles.

"Don't eat too much, you'll be having dinner with your uncle tonight."

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, Auntie's noodles are really delicious."

Mother Ou added dried scallops to the noodles, making the soup very delicious.

There's a lot of seafood here, and after drinking this soup, Lin Yu felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"I'm going out to buy groceries." Mrs. Ou changed her clothes, grabbed a shopping basket, and prepared to leave.

Ou Manqing quickly said, "Mom, wait for us, let's go together."

Mother Ou smiled and said, "No need, you all eat your food."

Lin Yu said, "Auntie, I've never seen a vegetable market in Guangcheng before. Can you take me there to see it?"

Only after hearing this did Mrs. Ou agree to wait until they finished eating before going out together.

Lin Yu winked at Ou Manqing and smiled mischievously.

Ou Manqing smiled at her, her meaning unspoken.

The two finished their noodles as quickly as possible, washed the bowls, and hurriedly followed Mother Ou out the door.

Many of the neighbors in the area where the Ou family lives are old friends of Ou's parents.

Upon seeing Mother Ou, she exclaimed, "Oh, Manqing is back?"

They had long heard that Ou Manqing had married a local man in the countryside and had a child.

They had assumed that when she returned, they would see a country woman.

Surprisingly, Ou Manqing hasn't changed at all; she's still as beautiful as ever.

Her skin wasn't tanned. It looked smooth and delicate.

If there's any change, it's that she looks more feminine, probably because she just had a baby.

The neighbors were quite surprised when they saw her; wasn't she married to a countryman?

Ou Manqing naturally saw the surprise in their eyes and knew what they were thinking.

She didn't explain anything; only she knew whether she was doing well or not.

What difference does it make who you marry or where they're from?

Marrying a city dweller can be just as torturous if you're unhappy.

Just like in her previous life, everyone thought that Yu Haiyang, whom she married, was a capable man.

Let her stay at home and be a pampered lady.

But who knows the pain in her heart?

She had always known that Yu Haiyang was having affairs, but what she found most unacceptable was that he was having affairs with her best friend.

Later, it was learned that the incident involving Mr. and Mrs. Ou was orchestrated by Yu Haiyang.

She couldn't shake off the hatred in her heart.

This is also why she died so young, because she could never let go of those hatreds in her heart, and they remained unresolved.

Even after Li Dahui came into her life, giving her a happy home.

But the trauma of the past remained forever in her body.
