"Dean, please tell me properly, how did you travel here? And what happened to you?"

Hearing this, Chen Shujing found it strange but still roughly understood.

Su Li was asking her how she got here and what happened.

"I'm telling you this, but you must never tell anyone else."

Seeing her solemn expression, Su Li nodded seriously.

“I am Gu Huanian’s biological mother, but he has another mother in his family.”

Gu Huanian has two mothers? It seems his father is a scumbag, having one at home and another outside.

Su Li asked cautiously, "Then you are a mistress?"

The woman shook her head. "No, I was his lawfully wedded wife, but something happened later, and I was replaced by my own sister. She locked me up and put a face just like mine on me."

"So you mean your younger sister is in your house right now, which is why you're in such a terrible situation?"

Chen Shujing nodded.

Hearing her say that, Su Li began to have some doubts. Was she really her headmistress? From before until now, she hadn't said a word about her. When she first saw that face, she was too excited. When she saw her nod, she thought it really was her headmistress.

She decided to test the waters: "Do you remember Little Bean?"

Xiaodouzi was the youngest boy in the orphanage back then, and she even held him in her arms.

When she transmigrated, Xiaodouzi was only fourteen years old.

Chen Shujing didn't know who Xiaodouzi was, nor did she understand why Su Li asked that question.

She shook her head.

Su Li's heart deflated like a punctured balloon.

Of course, she was delusional; how could she possibly be the dean's mother?

She missed the headmistress so much.

Seeing Su Li's disappointed look, Chen Shujing realized that the "dean" must be an old friend who looked a lot like her.

She mistook someone for someone else.

Chen Shujing suddenly felt a little awkward and looked at Su Li, saying, "Now that you know I'm not the person you're looking for, will you still take me in?"

Su Li nodded. She had just heard that the woman meant Gu Huanian's biological mother. Before she could figure things out, she still had to keep the woman there.

"Since you are Huanian's biological mother, you can stay here in peace. I will find a way to contact Huanian and have him come to pick you up."

Chen Shujing's health indicators are all poor right now. If she kicks the person out, things will get bad. Besides, she has the face of the hospital director and is also her boyfriend's mother. No matter what, we should keep the person here first.

Just be careful when entering the space during this period.

It was already quite late, and she said to Chen Shujing, "You're not feeling well, so just stay here with me and rest these next few days. Don't worry about anything else. I'll contact Huanian. Let's get some rest!"

"Um"

The next morning, Su Li woke up to find Chen Shujing already up and busy in the kitchen.

She went to the kitchen and saw that she had already cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge.

"Auntie, you're still not fully recovered. I'll do these things next time."

Chen Shujing smiled and said, "I don't know why, but after eating porridge at your place yesterday, I felt much better. You're so busy every day, how could I just eat here for free? I'll take care of the meals and housework for a while!"

As Su Li served the rice, she said, "Auntie, you can do these things when you're better. I won't stop you, but you should rest and recover first these next few days. I can do this little bit of work around the house myself."

Chen Shujing nodded; "Okay."

Su Li took some pickled vegetables from the pickle jar and placed them on the table. Chen Shujing ate a mouthful of sweet potato porridge and then picked up a piece of pickled vegetables with her chopsticks.

Crispy and delicious, it's really tasty.

"Did you pickle these vegetables yourself?"

"Um"

"You pickled these vegetables differently from others; they're really good with rice."

"I'm glad your aunt doesn't mind."

Chen Shujing noticed that ever since Su Li confirmed that she was not the person she was looking for, she had become more polite to her and the initial intimacy had disappeared, but she could understand it.

Regardless, she still liked this future daughter-in-law very much.

After the meal, Su Li was about to clear the dishes when Chen Shujing took the task away, saying, "I'll do it. I can handle these chores."

Su Li didn't argue with her anymore, and said to Chen Shujing, "I have to go to work. I'll cook lunch when I get back. You take good care of yourself at home."

"Okay, I'll take good care of myself. Don't overwork yourself at work."

Su Li looked at her face and was momentarily dazed. Her mother, the hospital director, had once told her not to overwork herself while working part-time.

Su Li nodded and left the hospital, just in time to come out with Zhou Yuting.

Zhou Yuting glanced at Su Li, then at the woman; "I heard that's your aunt?"

Mind your own business! Stop worrying about others.

After Su Li finished speaking, she quickened her pace and moved away from her.

Today she was in the same group as Aunt Li, and after the spring plowing was finished, she started weeding the fields.

Aunt Li greeted her with a smile, "Little Li! I heard your aunt is here? How long does she plan to stay?"

"I don't know either. My aunt doesn't have a home anymore. She came here from another place during the famine."

Aunt Li believed her as soon as she said that, after all, she had seen Chen Shuqing yesterday; she was skin and bones and her clothes were filthy.

"She doesn't have a letter of introduction or a household registration. I think you should ask my husband about it as soon as possible, so you don't get into any trouble later."

Su Li nodded. "Thank you, Auntie. You seem so happy. Is there something good happening?"

Aunt Li said happily, "You really know your aunt. Our second son is engaged, and we'll be having our wedding banquet the day after tomorrow. Don't forget to bring your cousin to our house for the banquet."
