On the way, Ye Yun saw Ye Pengfei hurrying along the roadside with his schoolbag. She asked Qin Zheng to take him to town, gave him ten yuan, and told him to wait for the rural bus to return to school the next morning.

Transportation in the mountains is underdeveloped, but there is a bus from the town to the county seat every morning.

She would set off around 5 or 6 a.m. and return around 5 or 6 p.m., something she discovered when she was in high school.

Because Ye Xue, who is a year younger than her, often takes the bus to school.

She could only watch with envy.

Their town was too poor, and the nearby towns were also poor, so there were very few students in total. Therefore, the high school was set up in the county town, which was extremely far away. Liu Meilan couldn't bear to see Ye Xue suffer from the hardship of walking, so she would give Ye Xue money to take the bus there.

She, however, had to walk to school a day earlier...

Ye Pengfei usually takes a bus to school, but there are no buses at this time today. He also has to attend self-study classes in the evening, so he is in a hurry to get back.

Ye Pengfei didn't take the money; he stuffed it into Ye Yun's hand and then hurriedly ran off with his schoolbag.

"I'll give rides to anyone going my way!"

Even from afar, you could still hear him calling out a reassuring message to Ye Yun.

"Your younger brother is quite interesting." Qin Zheng watched Ye Pengfei's departing figure, then turned back to Ye Yun and said with a smile.

Ye Yun sighed, "She just doesn't talk much and doesn't know how to speak properly, so she's easily taken advantage of."

Qin Zheng's lips twitched.

He didn't quite agree with Ye Yun's assessment; that kid seemed like a man of few words.

Ye Yun didn't know what had happened between Qin Zheng and Ye Pengfei outside. Clutching the envelope in her hand, she took Qin Zheng's hand and turned to enter the credit union.

Before long, the credit union retrieved the dowry her mother had left her.

Several silver necklaces, a gold necklace, several gold rings, a jade bracelet, and a brand-name watch—it's unclear where her mother got all of these, but in these days it's quite a fortune, even the clerk at the counter couldn't help but marvel.

Upon seeing this box of valuable jewelry again, Ye Yun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In her previous life, she knew nothing about her mother's deeds, only a little from her maternal grandfather. He said that her mother had run away from the marriage arranged for her by her family, and when she returned, she was bloated and about to give birth, and she also brought back these treasures.

That year, no one knew what her mother had gone through outside.

All I know is that a perfectly healthy young woman returned as insane and mentally unstable. She would often talk to herself, and when she had a fit of madness, she would cry and laugh and not even recognize her parents or relatives.

After that, she gave birth to her and then left again.

In her previous life, she never heard any other news about her mother until her death.

She's living a good life in this life, with enough energy and time. I wonder if she'll ever have the chance to find her mother...

Half of these pieces should be enough.

She didn't want to pawn it all; it was something her mother had left her, and she wanted to keep some of it, as a memento for herself.

"Please save these again and put them in my wife's account."

Suddenly Qin Zheng said.

The man's clear and powerful voice rang in Ye Yun's ears, making her startled.

She looked at Qin Zheng in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly said that.

The teller at the counter also looked at Qin Zheng suspiciously, wondering why a man would voluntarily deposit so many valuables into his wife's account.

Ye Yun seemed to understand something, tilted her head, and looked at Qin Zheng with a puzzled expression.

Is this man... the one she guessed?
