In her previous life, before she died, she saw the jade bracelet that Li Yuzhu was wearing, and only then did she remember that she had lost a cheap jade bracelet, which made her suspicious.

She questioned Zhao Lianwei, who then revealed that she was not her biological daughter.

Chen Jiayi had occasionally wondered if she was Zhao Lianwei's biological daughter, but she never doubted it. She never expected that she really wasn't Zhao Lianwei's biological daughter.

Zhao Lianwei was getting impatient. "You brat, all you do is daydream. Aren't you my own child? Did you spring from a rock?"

"Mom, I've found my biological parents." Chen Jiayi said coldly, her eyes fixed on Zhao Lianwei.

“I had a DNA test done with them, and we’ll know whether I’m your biological child once the report comes out.”

Zhao Lianwei was stunned and didn't come to her senses for a long time.

By the time she came to her senses, Chen Jiayi had already disappeared.

Zhao Lianwei got into the car and went home. Her husband was working in the fields. When he saw Zhao Lianwei return, he glanced at her sideways.

"How did it go? Did Chen Jiayi obediently go back?"

Zhao Lianwei spoke in a low voice, sounding somewhat depressed.

"You know what kind of temper your daughter has. When she gets really stubborn, nothing can move her! I can't persuade her."

Chen Xiaowei's face darkened. "How can you be so useless? You can't even persuade your own daughter."

Zhao Lianwei said softly, "She also said that she found her biological parents and had some kind of paternity test done."

Chen Xiaowei, who was digging, immediately put down his hoe upon hearing Zhao Lianwei's words and asked incredulously.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Lianwei recounted her conversation with Chen Jiayi to Chen Xiaowei.

Chen Xiaowei's eyes lit up. "When we first found this girl, we thought she was from a very wealthy family. Her biological parents haven't come looking for her all these years. If she really does find them, we can ask for child support!"

Seeing Chen Xiaowei's happiness, Zhao Lianwei couldn't help but say, "But Jiayi is the best earner in our family, and we've improved a lot in recent years thanks to her help. If her biological parents take her back, will they still acknowledge us?"

Chen Xiaowei snorted coldly, "She doesn't acknowledge it? I've raised her for so many years, I'm her second father! How dare she deny it?"

Zhao Lianwei frowned, "What about Jiayi's divorce..."

Chen Xiaowei put down his hoe and patted the mud off his body.

“I went to persuade her, and if she didn’t listen, I made a scene in front of her stall and made it impossible for her to set up her stall. Then she listened, didn’t she? You’re just too soft-hearted and don’t know how to be flexible.”

Chen Jiayi suddenly sneezed, rubbed the tip of her nose, and felt a little uncomfortable.

The older woman chuckled and said, "Won't you catch a cold in this heat?"

Chen Jiayi shook her head. "It shouldn't be, ma'am. Can't you make this pot a little cheaper?"

A large pot costs ten yuan, and a small pot costs about three yuan.

The older woman exclaimed, "Oh dear! That's how the prices are! They're clearly marked!"

Chen Jiayi put down the small pot and smiled.

"Then I'll take another look."

The older woman quickly stopped Chen Jiayi, "Hey, hey, if you want to buy something else, take this little pot for two yuan and sixty cents! That's the lowest I can go!"

Chen Jiayi smiled and turned to buy the pot.

Chen Jiayi bought a pot, a small bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and also bought rice and oil. She went home and started cooking.

She sells her own vegetables; she can simply pick out the vegetables she wants and start cooking.

The afternoons in the intercalary sixth month are exceptionally hot, and it doesn't cool down until after nine o'clock at night.

Chen Jiayi no longer needs to take care of her child or serve her mother-in-law, and she goes to bed early after dinner.

The Ding family was thrown into chaos, and Li Shufang's cursing could be heard from afar.

"Ding Haowen, you say your cooking is terrible, how come you can't even take good care of the kids?"

The weather was hot, and the child kept crying, which made Li Shufang feel irritable.

Ding Haowen rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.

"Mom, Chen Jiayi used to take care of Xiangxiang. I'm a grown man, how would I know how to take care of a child? Why don't you try to soothe her?"

Li Shufang was already angry, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but explode.

"Did I come here knowing how to take care of children? If you don't know how to take care of children, can't you learn? I'm disabled and haven't even had a bite to eat yet, and you still want me to take care of your child?"

Li Shufang was speechless; she had never gone hungry when Chen Jiayi was around.

Ding Haowen heard his mother's shrill voice, which frightened the children into tears.

For a moment, he felt extremely irritable.

"Mom, I have to go back to work in the city tomorrow. What will happen to the children then?"

Li Shufang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

“Your mother has a hard time cooking for herself, let alone helping you take care of the baby. Li Yuzhu is back now, right? Give the child to her and let her take care of him for a few days.”

Ding Haowen frowned as he pictured Li Yuzhu's beautiful face.

"Mom, Yuzhu has never taken care of a child before and doesn't know how to take care of a child."

Li Shufang's voice was shrill, "You feel sorry for her and can't bear to let her take care of the child, but you're willing to let me take care of the child?"

Helpless, Ding Haowen could only take the child to find Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu was transferred to Haicheng for work and has been staying at the People's Hotel in Lianhua Town for the past two days.

Hearing a knock at the door, Li Yuzhu quickly opened it.

Seeing Ding Haowen holding the child, Li Yuzhu was overjoyed.

"Haowen, how did you know I wanted a child?"

Looking at her adorable little daughter, Li Yuzhu felt a deep longing in her heart.

Seeing how much Li Yuzhu loved children, Ding Haowen breathed a sigh of relief.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Yuzhu, I have to go back to work in the city tomorrow. You know my mom has trouble walking and can barely take care of herself. Chen Jiayi has been arguing with me about divorce these past few days and hasn't come home yet... There's no one to take care of the child at home, so why don't you take care of him for a couple of days?"

Li Yuzhu agreed without hesitation and gently teased Dingxiang.

Seeing this, Ding Haowen felt extremely distressed.

Not long after Yuzhu got married, her husband died, and Li Yuzhu took the initiative to approach him, asking for his help.

Even if Ding Haowen liked Li Yuzhu very much, as a man, he would still mind raising Li Yuzhu's child with another man.

But Li Yuzhu said that the child was actually his. Seeing that Li Yuzhu was weak after giving birth, Ding Haowen felt sorry for her, so he took the child back to Chen Jiayi to raise.

Ding Haowen was lost in thought about Chen Jiayi. He knew he had wronged her, but he would make it up to her.

Li Yuzhu called Ding Haowen twice before he came to his senses.

Li Yuzhu gave a gentle smile. "Haowen, what's wrong?"

Ding Haowen pursed his lips. "It's nothing."

Li Yuzhu is good at observing people. She knew that Ding Haowen was lying, but she did not expose him.

Dingxiang suddenly started crying, and Ding Haowen couldn't help but frown whenever he heard her cry.

Li Yuzhu touched the diaper; it was wet.

She quickly changed Dingxiang's diaper, but the child was still crying.

Li Yuzhu asked, "Haowen, where's the milk powder?"

Ding Haowen was taken aback. "What milk powder?"

Li Yuzhu looked at him in surprise, "It's baby formula! What will the baby eat if there's no formula?"
