"What's wrong with you today? Didn't I just say I wouldn't abandon your Qin Zheng brother? Why do you keep asking?" Ye Yun sensed something was wrong and looked at Tian Xiaohui with gentle eyes.

Tian Xiaohui nervously clutched the hem of her clothes and whispered, "Brother Qin Zheng is Brother Qin Zheng..."

"oh?"

"I am me..." Tian Xiaohui finally spoke. She raised her head and looked at Ye Yun seriously, saying, "Sister-in-law, you said you would help me get rich. If you don't help me get rich, then I will have to go back and get married, marry someone I don't like, and then be trapped in the mountains for the rest of my life..."

She doesn't want to get married.

Since she came to the city, she has seen many things that she could not see in the mountains.

She learned that girls don't have to just get married and have children, and that girls can have their own choices.

Therefore, she wants to have her own choices.

However, all choices are based on economic independence.

But she can't be financially independent yet. She can only rely on Ye Yun now. If Ye Yun leaves, she will have to go back to the remote mountain village, marry anyone, and live out her life in a dull but clear-headed way.

She didn't want to live like that.

She wants to have her own choices.

Tian Xiaohui looked at Ye Yun with pleading eyes, placing all her hopes on Ye Yun, hoping that Ye Yun would not abandon her at this time.

She has already seen hope.

If we were to throw her into a ravine at this point, it would be the cruelest thing in the world for her.

"I see."

Ye Yun gently patted Tian Xiaohui's shoulder, gave her a firm look, and said, "Don't worry, I said I would make you rich, and I will. If I want you to get married, you have to find someone you want to marry. Is this my guarantee?"

Tian Xiaohui's eyes welled up with tears, and she whispered to confirm, "Sister-in-law, are you serious?"

Have I ever lied to you?

“No…” Tian Xiaohui shook her head repeatedly, her eyes reddening.

Ye Yun never lied to her.

It was precisely because Ye Yun had never lied to her that she felt reassured, her worries vanished, and she no longer had to worry.

Ye Yun quickly combed her mother's long hair.

She used a silk scarf to tie her mother's long, black hair into a grand bow at the back of her head. Instantly, the woman swept away her previous mess and became as elegant and charming as a Hong Kong or Taiwan star.

"It's so beautiful..."

Tian Xiaohui sighed.

Although the woman in front of me was old and had fine lines around her eyes, she didn't look old at all. Instead, she had a gentleness that came with the passage of time. Her eyes were full of affection when she looked at people, making it hard to look away.

Tian Xiaohui thought to herself, "If only I had such a beautiful mother."

The thought of her mother, who was always ready to beat her to death, jolted Tian Xiaohui awake instantly.

"It looks good..." Ye Xia was also happy, looking at herself in the mirror again and again.

Ye Yun bent down and tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ears, revealing her face and making her appear even more dignified and elegant, exuding a natural grace and poise.

It must be said that Mu Jingsheng has taken good care of her mother over the years.

Ye Yun was more concerned about her mother's health than her beauty; plump cheeks and smooth palms were enough for her.

As for her mother's appearance, she had always known it. She had heard people outside say since she was a child that although her mother was crazy, she was indeed a great beauty.

Qin Zheng quickly returned with the lunchbox.

The cafeteria had just opened for lunch, and the workers hadn't finished their shifts yet. When he went there, all the dishes were fresh, and he brought back five or six lunchboxes.

Of course, Gu Jin was also brought along.

Gu Jin heard about Ye Yun's family visit while he was at work, and also about Qin Zheng skipping work. Before he was supposed to leave work, he rushed to the family compound and happened to run into Qin Zheng, who was returning from getting his meal.

On the way back, he was unusually silent and didn't bother Qin Zheng.

As soon as Qin Zheng entered the courtyard, he saw Mu Jingsheng squatting at the door, seemingly lost in thought.

The man, dressed in a suit and tie, squatted awkwardly at his doorway, looking completely out of place.

"Why are you squatting here?" Qin Zheng said, placing the lunchbox on the table in the courtyard.

It's called a table, but it's really just a pile of bricks with a broken door on top as a tabletop; it looks very rudimentary.

Mu Jingsheng frowned, and silently began to plot against Qin Zheng.

He wanted to get Ye Yun away; his daughter shouldn't be suffering in such a place. But it was obvious that his daughter didn't want to leave because of her husband. What if he tried to persuade Qin Zheng directly?

Thinking of this, Mu Jingsheng immediately said, "Your name is... Qin Zheng, right?"

Qin Zheng's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Didn't we already ask?

The next second, Mu Jingsheng got up and walked towards him, mysteriously pulling him aside and saying, "Xiao Qin, can I talk to you about something?"

"Please speak," Qin Zheng said, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Mu Jingsheng cautiously glanced into the house, then gave a hasty smile: "You see, the conditions here aren't very good. Xiaoyun is pregnant now, and I was thinking, could you persuade her to come with me to Lin'an?"

"Of course, you should come along too. I can tell that Xiaoyun really likes you."

Fearing that Qin Zheng might misunderstand, he explained in advance, and after speaking, he stared at Qin Zheng with expectant eyes.

Qin Zheng: "Are you done talking?"

"Mmm."

Mu Jingsheng nodded.

"Oh," Qin Zheng replied, turning around to walk into the house.

Mu Jingsheng was startled and quickly grabbed him: "Hey, hey, where are you going?"

Qin Zheng looked puzzled. "Didn't you tell me to persuade Ye Yun? I'll go talk to her."

"no……"

Mu Jingsheng was a little confused. Something felt off.

However, Qin Zheng had already entered the house.

He watched Qin Zheng walk towards Ye Yun, and without thinking twice, he quickly followed.

Gu Jin watched all of this quietly from the side.

He heard every single word that Mu Jingsheng had just said to Qin Zheng.

Are you panicking?

A question suddenly came from the side, startling him.

Tian Xiaohui had somehow gotten close to him.

He couldn't help but rub his forehead, frowning as he asked, "What's there to panic about?"

"Brother Qin Zheng might be leaving."

"..." Gu Jin glanced silently at Qin Zheng in the room, and said stubbornly, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Are you willing to do that?"

"..."

What's it to him!

Gu Jin glanced at Qin Zheng inside the house again, but unusually did not follow him in. Instead, she turned and strode towards her own courtyard.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaohui quickly followed, "Hey, wait for me!"

What are you waiting for me for?

"I have reliable information! Do you want to know if Sister-in-law Ye Yun will leave? Do you want to know if Brother Qin Zheng will leave? Ask me quickly! Please ask me quickly!"

Gu Jin: "..."

Damn it, I'm already annoyed!
