Zhou Chunhua had been married for over twenty years when her husband cheated on her.
She began to reflect: Was she not virtuous enough? Was she not thoughtful enough?
No! It was because...
This little old lady is named Wu Jing, and she is Zhang Bo's wife.
They only have one daughter, who was sent abroad to study and settled overseas after graduation.
This small duplex apartment in Bibo Garden was bought for Zhang Bo by his daughter and son-in-law after he fell ill.
Their daughter even hired a housekeeper to take care of the elderly couple's daily life.
She learned after making inquiries that Zhang Bo had Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as senile dementia.
“I’ve heard this disease is very debilitating, you must be having a very tough time,” Zhou Chunhua said.
Wu Jing smiled and said, "No, Old Chen's illness isn't so serious that he can't take care of himself. Most of the time, he's lucid."
Just as she finished speaking, Wu Jing's phone rang.
She answered the phone...
"What? When did he disappear? How could you leave him out alone! Did you call the police?"
"Wait there! I'm coming right away!" Wu Jing didn't even leave her bag and sword behind; she got up and ran out.
Zhou Chunhua quickly packed up the things and chased after Wu Jing in the direction she had run.
Fortunately, Wu Jing was old and slow-moving, so she caught up with her in no time.
"Sister Wu, what happened?"
"My husband, Lao Chen, is missing! I have to go back and find him right away."
"Don't panic. Has he ever gone missing during a previous episode? Where were they found each time?"
“This has never happened before!” Wu Jing’s eyes were red, and she was about to cry.
"Don't rush, think about it, is there any place nearby that is particularly meaningful to him?" Zhou Chunhua asked.
Wu Jing suddenly froze, as if she had remembered something, and turned to run in another direction.
Zhou Chunhua chased after her and helped the old lady run forward.
This road is a jogging path in the morning.
However, the winding, uphill path left Wu Jing breathless after only a short while.
She clutched her chest, her face pale and even somewhat ashen.
"Where's your medicine? Where's your medicine?" Zhou Chunhua handed over the bag.
Wu Jing trembled as she tried to pull the zipper on the outer bag, but after several attempts, she couldn't open it.
Zhou Chunhua quickly helped take a bottle of medicine out of the small bag, unscrewed the cap, and handed the medicine over.
Wu Jing hurriedly swallowed two pills, and a few minutes later, her complexion improved significantly.
"Take a deep breath, are you feeling better?"
After recovering, Wu Jing nodded and forced herself to continue forward.
More than ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the artificial lake.
The forest park is built against the mountain, and the lake at the foot of the mountain was dug out by man.
Later, many people who enjoy fishing would come here every day.
She helped Wu Jing search along the lake shore, and finally found Chen Bo standing there blankly in an inconspicuous corner.
Chen Bo at this time looks very different from his appearance in the photos.
It's fair to say that if it weren't for Wu Jing, even if Chen Bo stood right in front of her, she wouldn't have recognized him.
Wu Jing went up and pulled him back, but Chen Bo kept muttering that he didn't know Wu Jing.
She kept saying, "Yueyue wants to eat fish, I have to catch some fish for Yueyue to take home."
Chen Yue is their daughter.
Looking at Chen Bo, who had forgotten the whole world but not his daughter, Zhou Chunhua's eyes reddened slightly.
Wu Jing, who already had little strength, tried for a long time but couldn't pull Chen Bo back at all.
She quickly went up to help Wu Jing and pulled Chen Bo back.
So, it was only natural that he entered the Chen family.
Wu Jing was very grateful to her and wanted to give her money before she left.
Zhou Chunhua refused.
"Xiao Zhou, I really just wanted to express my gratitude. Please accept the red envelope, okay?"
They added each other on WeChat this morning, and Wu Jing just sent her a red message on WeChat.
"Sister Wu, really, it's not necessary. If you can't make it, keep an eye out and help me find a nanny job. Didn't I tell you before that Mr. Lu has gone on a long trip and won't be back for a while?"
He said he wanted me to look at apartments, but really he just didn't want to fire me. He's a retiree too; money doesn't grow on trees, and I'm not shameless enough to just sit here and eat, live, and take advantage of him.
Wu Jing glanced at her hesitantly, and finally said only that she would keep an eye out for it.
Zhou Chunhua didn't force the issue. After all, if she were too direct about this, people would definitely become suspicious.
We have to wait for Wu Jing to speak first.
So for the next few days, she did the same thing as before, coming in the morning and leaving in the afternoon. Besides going to Wu Jing to learn Tai Chi sword, she also meticulously cleaned Lu Huai'an's house until it was spotless.
Five days later, Wu Jing finally offered to hire her.
Zhou Chunhua was overjoyed; her long wait had finally paid off.
That afternoon, she called Lu Zhiwu to tell him about her resignation.
"Sister Zhou, you're doing so well, why are you thinking of quitting? If you think your salary is too low, I'll give you a raise. How much do you think is appropriate?"
Lu Huai'an has two sons. The elder son, Lu Zhiwu, is a businessman, and I heard his business is quite large. The younger son, Lu Zhiwen, is said to be a researcher, the kind who rarely comes home, even once every few years. Moreover, Lu Zhiwen is the kind of person who doesn't even have a cell phone. Unless Lu Zhiwen calls him, no one, including the Lu family, can find him.
Zhou Chunhua said frankly, "President Lu, this isn't about the money. It's that I feel bad taking your salary for nothing."
On the phone, Lu Zhiwu's voice was cheerful: "That's easy! I'll arrange a position for you at the company, and you can come and report for duty tomorrow. You can name your salary and benefits."
Zhou Chunhua, who had been speaking very tactfully, suddenly found herself speechless.
Lu Zhiwu completely ruined what was supposed to be a perfect day with his chatter.
She politely declined Lu Zhiwu's offer and planned to give Lu Huai'an's house key to Lu Zhiwu in the same city.
To Zhou Chunhua's surprise, she received a transfer of 120,000 yuan via WeChat as soon as she hung up the phone.
She was startled and checked the source, only to find out that it was forwarded by Lu Zhiwu.
With a thud, Lu Zhiwu sent a message: "Sister Zhou, let me be frank, this money is a thank-you fee for you. You don't know, ever since my mother passed away, my brothers and I have all harbored resentment towards our father."
Thanks to your guidance, my father finally bowed his head and apologized to my mother. Our family was able to be reunited. I wanted to transfer more to you, but I was afraid you wouldn't accept it.
Here's a small amount of money for you. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, whether it's financial or otherwise, please don't hesitate to give me a call.
Zhou Chunhua originally wanted to persuade Lu Zhiwu to take the money back, and even edited a long message, but in the end she didn't send it and deleted it word by word.
In the end, I only sent the two words "Thank you".
Before leaving the Lu family home, she cleaned the house thoroughly one last time and covered all the furniture with bed sheets.
She took the Phalaenopsis orchid with her when she left.
She plans to take good care of herself and then carry Lu Huai'an and his wife back when they return.
In this world, everything has its good and bad aspects, and people are no exception.
Consider Lu Huai'an and Liao Nanxing; both are men, yet they are worlds apart.
