Chapter 21

Ruan Jinguo had been afraid of the police since he was a child. Seeing the old lady being interrogated inside, he dragged Meng Jinyu to sit on the stone steps outside the police station and wait.

"Sister, you followed the police back to the village to arrest our mother. Did you feel bad?" Ruan Jinguo asked. "People say that this is called sacrificing one's relatives for the sake of justice."

"After entering the city, I became an educated person." Meng Jinyu glanced at him and said, "How could I not feel uncomfortable when she knocked me out, locked me up, and didn't give me food?"

Ruan Jinguo lowered his head. From childhood to adulthood, he always felt sorry for his sister.

His father passed away early and he could not support a family. When the commune distributed grain, there was one less scale and his mother dragged him home crying. It was all his sister who went to get the grain back by herself.

After that, his sister repeatedly sacrificed for the family, and her temperament became stronger and stronger.

"What about your in-laws?" Ruan Jinguo sighed, "What's the point of Ruan Wenwen running off to be someone else's stepmother?"

Yeah, what's the point?

She also didn't understand why he had to resort to such evil means when he had hands and feet and could do anything else.

But although Meng Jinyu's thoughts are simple, she is not someone who is easy to bully.

For more than a month, all the sufferings that she, her little daughter and her little son had endured were engraved in their hearts.

Let's settle these accounts one by one.

…

In the interrogation room, Li Guimei looked pale and looked at the police officers guiltily.

"Do you think I'm trying to scare you? Why did you lock Meng Jinyu up?"

"Comrade Public Security, I really don't know what you are talking about. She is my daughter. What's wrong with a mother beating her? I beat her because she was disobedient. Comrade, I was wrong. I will never dare to beat my daughter again."

The two public security comrades looked at each other and slammed the table in annoyance.

"Why did you lock up Meng Jinyu? Will you tell the truth or not?"

Li Guimei was so frightened that she almost lost her balance and her legs were shaking: "Comrade Public Security, if my daughter doesn't obey, you will beat her up and put her in jail. Then you will have to arrest all of us in the village!"

After hearing this, Li Guimei wiped away her tears and looked at the police with a trembling face.

She was scared, very scared.

A month ago, a person who looked exactly like her daughter came to her house and said that the "good things" she had done for more than 20 years had been exposed. Now the factory director and his wife were very angry and wanted to report to the police to have her arrested.

This person is her other daughter, named Ruan Wenwen.

At that time, Li Guimei was afraid of going to jail, so she did everything she was told to do. She asked Meng Jinyu to be imprisoned, so she was imprisoned; she asked for a sum of money to be kept, so she was kept; she asked for the matter to be kept secret, so she was kept secret.

I'm already old and I'm in jail. How can I live like this?

If she confessed everything she and Ruan Wenwen had done to Meng Jinyu, she would definitely go to jail. If Ruan Wenwen got angry and asked the factory director and his wife to settle the matter with her, she might have to stay in jail for a longer time...

It would be better to deny it and try your luck.

But, what happened to Jin Yu?

Li Guimei felt frightened when she recalled the aggressive look on the police's face when she brought them to Tanzi Village.

Li Guimei was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She couldn't even breathe. She felt uncomfortable all over. She cried with tears and snot, and almost collapsed in the interrogation room.

…

On the way back to the village, Ruan Wenwen recalled those scenes in her mind.

In their previous life, Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping were kind-hearted and raised their daughter for twenty-nine years. Even though they were not related by blood, they still had feelings for her. In addition, Ruan Jinguo grew up safely. Therefore, although they were angry, they ultimately did not argue with Li Guimei, who maliciously swapped the baby.

It was just because Ruan Wenwen in her previous life was unwilling to accept this reality and made a life-and-death scene, causing her adoptive parents to lose face in the factory and they cut off all contact with her afterwards.

Therefore, after her rebirth, Ruan Wenwen decided to seize the opportunity. The truth would come out anyway, so she might as well go with the flow.

Ruan Wenwen told her adoptive parents that she had seen a lesbian in town who looked exactly like her, and urged them to find out the truth.

After the truth came out, Ruan Wenwen knelt down and begged. Her adoptive parents couldn't bear it and still did not hold Meng's mother responsible. They also gave her some money and asked her to take care of herself in the future. This is why she was able to buy a bicycle for Jiang Huanming.

After returning from her adoptive parents, the first thing Ruan Wenwen thought of was to exchange her identity with her sister.

She threatened Li Guimei to cooperate with her by claiming that the factory director and his wife were going to call the police. The mother and daughter tricked the real Meng Jinyu under the bridge late at night, knocked her unconscious, and carried her to Xiangyu Village, where she was tied up. She then returned to the bridge and pretended to be Meng Jinyu who had accidentally fallen and was unconscious.

Afraid that she would forget what happened in her previous life, Ruan Wenwen found a pen and paper after "waking up" and wrote down the time nodes before her rebirth, trying to change her destiny.

She got along well with the other children, except Youyou. She hated this child from the bottom of her heart and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

As for Jiang Huanming, he remained calm in the face of temptation in his previous life. That was because he had seen the world after becoming rich, and his children and the media were watching over him. No matter whether his intentions were right or not, he would not easily ruin his reputation.

Relatively speaking, it is easier for him to deal with things in this life.

Everything should have been perfect, but Ruan Wenwen didn't expect that Youyou, who was only five years old, was still not easy to deceive.

But a child is a child after all. Ruan Wenwen, who has lived two lives, did not take her seriously. She just hoped that she would disappear, and it would be best if she could disappear without a trace.

"Jin Yu is back?"

"We've killed so much meat, what good day is today?"

At the entrance of the village, Ruan Wenwen met many villagers.

She smiled contentedly, carried the meat home, processed it briefly, and quietly returned to the field, waiting to get off work.

…

"Sister, why did the police only arrest mom and not Ruan Wenwen?" Ruan Jinguo asked.

Meng Jinyu said: "I didn't tell the police what happened at home. I just mentioned that my mother locked me up."

Ruan Jinguo was puzzled: "In this case, as long as my mother insists that she only beat her daughter and did nothing immoral, she won't be put in jail!"

"Do you think the public security comrades will really take care of this family affair? I guess it will just be dealt with through mediation in the end." Meng Jinyu is not educated, but based on her memories from her previous life, she is at least knowledgeable.

"She's already this old. Just being taken to the police station and locked up for a few days by the public security comrades would scare herself to death. After returning to the village, the villagers' spit would drown her. Even if we can't let her go to jail, at least locking her up and letting her reflect on herself is better than running to Ruan Wenwen to come up with bad ideas together."

Ruan Jinguo's eyes widened: "Then you just let her stay in there and don't care?"

"No matter what, I won't care about it anymore." Meng Jinyu said, "I have something more important to do."

From Ruan Jinguo's perspective, his sister was wearing a khaki linen top and sitting in a carefree posture. Although she looked rough, she was full of energy and spirit.

Her eyes were determined, just like when she was a child, she was ready to roll up her sleeves and work hard anytime and anywhere to protect their home and her family from being bullied.

"Comrade Meng!" A female police officer in uniform came out of the police station and walked over to Meng Jinyu. "We have checked it out."

She immediately asked, "Is there any news about my son?"

The female police officer said, "Our comrades went to several police stations and found detailed records of missing persons reported during this period. On the day you mentioned, someone in the west of the city did report that their child was missing."

"Then has anyone sent the child back?" Meng Jinyu asked anxiously.

"No one from Chengxi Police Station sent the child here." The female police officer flipped through another notebook and said, "A man from Jiebei Road Police Station did come here. He picked up the child, asked a few questions, and then left after finding out that no one had come to report the case."

Meng Jinyu's heart was beating fast: "Do you have his address?"

"The Jiebei branch was quite busy at the time, and the man said his child had a fever and would be sent to register in the afternoon when the fever subsided, so the police there did not record the relevant information. But later, he did not send the child back." The female police officer said, "Maybe he has helped the child find his parents."

Meng Jinyu's heart was lifted up, then dropped again.

"Comrade Meng, don't worry, we will find out the whereabouts of the child as soon as possible." The female police officer said seriously.

…

After leaving the police station, Meng Jinyu hurried back to the meat processing factory with Ruan Jinguo.

In the morning, she originally wanted to take Youyou with her to report to the police, but then she changed her mind and hesitated, worried that Youyou would be frightened by the grand scene of the police arresting Li Guimei.

I originally thought that Youyou would insist on going with me, but unexpectedly, the little girl wanted to stay in the staff compound and play with her friends.

Where did this little friend come from? Before Meng Jinyu set out for the police station, the little guy didn’t know anyone.

Who would have thought that when she came back, she would see Youyou actually playing marbles with a group of little kids in the staff compound.

In the sunlight, the little girl's face is so pink and tender that even the fuzz on her cheeks can be seen clearly. When she smiles, she shows a row of white millet teeth, and her eyes are curved into crescent shapes.

The children liked this new friend very much. They pulled her hands and spun around in circles, and their clear laughter echoed throughout the staff compound.

A little kid said, "Youyou! Can you go to the nursery with me tomorrow?"

Youyou tilted her head: "What is a nursery?"

"It's the nursery at my parents' workplace!" the little one said enthusiastically, "You can learn a lot of skills there!"

At this time, the little one's mother came.

Dong Yin was wearing a Dacron shirt and a pair of thin-framed glasses, looking sophisticated and respectable.

She is an employee of the meat processing factory. When she returned to work today, she heard her coworkers talking about the factory director's family. She also learned that this little girl not only has no connection with the factory director's family, but also has no relationship with Ruan Wenwen.

He's just a little country boy, how could he be worthy of playing with my daughter?

"Not everyone can go to a daycare center!" Dong Yin pulled her daughter over and said, "Mengmeng, what did mom tell you? Don't play with just any cat or dog you meet, or they might teach you bad things."

Mengmeng looked at her mother in confusion.

Youyou came over and asked: "What skills can we learn in the nursery?"

Meng Meng asked enthusiastically, "Do you know what one plus one equals?"

"Two." Youyou said seriously.

Meng Meng widened her eyes in surprise: "Then what is two plus two?"

"Four!" Youyou said without even thinking about it.

"What about four plus four?" Mengmeng was shocked.

"Of course it's eight!" Youyou puffed out her chest, "It turns out that Youyou has already learned the skills in the nursery."

Mengmeng was counting on her little fingers, trying to calculate what four plus four equals, but she couldn't figure it out for a long time, so she tilted her head back and asked her mother.

Dong Yin glared at Youyou unhappily, pulled her daughter and turned to leave, wondering why this little girl was so weird.

However, before she had taken a few steps, she bumped into Meng Jinyu who was coming towards her.

Meng Jinyu rubbed Youyou's little head and shouted in a hoarse voice like singing an opera: "This nursery invites us to go, but we won't go yet! After all, the kids are all good, but who knows if the parents of the kids there are just random people!"

Dong Yin was not deaf, and immediately recognized Meng Jinyu's words: "Who are you calling a cat or a dog?"

"Whoever looks down on others is a dog." Meng Jinyu rolled her eyes, took Youyou's little hand, turned around and left.

Dong Yin was so angry that she stamped her feet. It turned out that the one who was even more sarcastic was the little girl's mother!

She cast a fierce sidelong glance at their backs: "What kind of character are these mother and daughter?"

Director Hu, who had always been at odds with Dong Yin at work, rode his bicycle, ringing his bell, and passed by her with a whoosh, muttering, "When you lose an argument, you call the other person a low-class person. I don't know who looked down on others first—"

Dong Yin's face turned red. She took out her key and went to open the door of her house. After entering the house, she slammed the door in anger.

…

Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping are both busy with work, so they don't usually cook at home and have three meals a day in the company cafeteria.

When Meng Jinyu brought Youyou back, they had already taken their lunch boxes to the cafeteria, packed the dishes and placed them on plates.

Seeing Meng Jinyu and Youyou, Chen Liping clasped her hands together, rubbed them together, and said with a smile: "You're back? Did everything go well today?"

Ruan Jinguo recounted what happened in the police station today from beginning to end.

"Jin Guo, help me get the chopsticks." Chen Liping glanced at Ruan Jinguo and shouted, "Wash your hands and eat."

Meng Jinyu didn't have the habit of washing her hands before meals, but she still listened to Chen Liping and took Youyou to wash her hands.

It's time for dinner. Four adults and one child sit around the table, with a bowl of white rice in front of each of them.

Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping originally thought that Meng Jinyu would be embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks, and were about to be polite, but they saw that she had already started eating with big mouthfuls.

After coming to the city, Ruan Jinguo had been eating white flour buns and white rice for every meal. His quality of life had already made a qualitative leap, and he was no longer surprised by delicious meals. But now, seeing his sister eating so happily, his appetite was immediately opened, and he also started to eat rice in big mouthfuls.

"Um..." Ruan Zhenli was used to acting like a factory director. He coughed and found that Meng Jinyu ignored him, so he turned to look at Youyou, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Youyou used a small spoon to eat by herself. The fragrant rice grains stuck to the corners of her mouth. She pinched them with her little hands and stuffed them back into her mouth, eating with great satisfaction.

Chen Liping looked at Meng Jinyu, "Jin Guo said that you have been both his sister and mother since he was a child, and you have been very good to him. If you want to eat good food in the future, just come to our house and don't be polite to us." After a pause, she looked at Youyou and said lightly, "You don't have to eat so pitifully, there is still food in the lunch box."

Little Youyou doesn't like the factory manager who speaks in a condescending manner.

So the little dumpling said seriously: "Factory Director Grandma, cherishing food is not pitiful!"

Meng Jinyu also said: "During the famine, many people in our village starved to death. Although we have survived the hard times now, even children know that wasting food is shameful."

Youyou nodded rapidly and looked at her mother with admiration.

Chen Liping's mouth stiffened: "You are right."

The atmosphere became tense again.

Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping looked at each other and finished the meal in silence.

When they looked at Meng Jinyu and Youyou, the mother and daughter were eating with relish, and they felt upset. Then they looked at Ruan Jinguo, who looked heartless, and they had no idea what they were worried about.

After dinner, Chen Liping cleaned up the dishes.

Meng Jinyu stayed to help: "Sorry to bother you this time. As soon as it gets light tomorrow, Youyou and I will take the bus back."

Chen Liping patted her on the shoulder and said with emotion: "It's not easy for a woman like you to go home and face so many messes."

Meng Jinyu said nothing and took the dishes to the kitchen.

Chen Liping beside her kept staring at her, but she ignored her and just kept washing and scrubbing. She quickly cleaned the dishes and folded them neatly.

"I--" Chen Liping was about to speak, but saw Meng Jinyu had turned around and went back to the house.

At this time, Ruan Zhenli put the newspaper down, exposed his head, looked at his wife, and winked.

Chen Liping shook her head and sighed.

…

The next morning, Meng Jinyu got up as soon as it was light.

Hearing the clanging sounds outside, she guessed that the Ruan family was washing up, so she didn't go to join in the fun. Instead, she lay on the bed, quietly looking at her little girl.

Youyou was sleeping soundly, with her two little hands hugging her arms dependently, like a little animal craving for warmth.

I don’t know what interesting scene he saw in the dream, but the corners of the child’s mouth raised slightly and he smiled sweetly.

Looking at her daughter's sleeping face, Meng Jinyu felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart. She reached out and gently stroked the strands of hair on the little girl's forehead.

After coming out of the police station yesterday, Meng Jinyu still didn't give up. She dragged Ruan Jinguo along the road near the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked about Jiang Shan's whereabouts whenever she saw someone.

But unfortunately, every passerby just shook his head helplessly, indicating that they had no impression at all.

Meng Jinyu went to various police stations again. When the public security comrades saw her, they immediately said, "The Nanjiao branch has sent comrades here, but there is no news about the child. We will intensify the investigation here. If we find the child, we will notify you as soon as possible."

There is not even a single clue, where did Shanshan go?

Meng Jinyu sighed.

At this time, the little girl beside her woke up.

Youyou rubbed her eyes and murmured in a daze: "Mom, Youyou dreamed about my brother."

"Dream about your younger brother?" Meng Jinyu repeated in surprise.

Youyou said seriously: "I dreamed that my younger brother went to a new home and had a new father and mother. They treated him very well."

If it were in the past, Meng Jinyu would not have believed in the so-called dreams, but it is different now.

She nervously held Youyou's hand and said, "Did we find Shanshan in the dream?"

"I haven't dreamed of so many things." Youyou lowered her eyes.

Meng Jinyu asked again with concern: "Are they really good to Shanshan?"

"Really, my brother didn't suffer." Youyou responded forcefully, thought for a moment, and then said softly, "However, although I didn't dream about it, Youyou believes that my brother will definitely come home."

Meng Jinyu's eyes were red, and she rubbed Youyou's little face: "Get up, let's go back to the village first today."

She got off the bed and was about to go out to borrow a basin to get water for Youyou to wash her face, but when the door opened, someone suddenly rushed in and bumped into her.

Meng Jinyu was startled and looked carefully. It was Chen Liping.

"Director Chen." Meng Jinyu said in surprise.

"Don't be so formal, just call me auntie." Chen Liping laughed dryly and walked into the house. "I came to see if you can help me with anything."

"No need for help. We don't have any luggage. We can just wash our faces and leave," said Meng Jinyu.

Chen Liping smiled and walked to Youyou: "Here is a hairband that Wenwen used before, braid your hair for the little girl."

Without waiting for the mother and daughter to refuse, she directly took a comb and combed Youyou's hair: "Wenwen loved to be beautiful when she was a child. Every time I braided her hair, she would not bear to take it off even before going to bed. I would coax her and say that I would braid it for her the next day and make it more beautiful..."

Meng Jinyu had borrowed a washbasin from Ruan Zhenli and filled it with some water.

"Actually, Wenwen doesn't have any bad intentions. She was just spoiled by us when she was little. I think if you go back to the village now, it will make everyone look bad. Otherwise, -"

Meng Jinyu interrupted her: "Director Chen asked me not to go back?"

"That's not what I meant." Chen Liping looked embarrassed and paused. Judging from Meng Jinyu's attitude, she probably knew what she wanted to say last night.

Ruan Zhenli had been paying attention to the movements in the house and walked in. "If the matter gets out of hand, you won't be able to save face. How about this, we go to the village first and persuade Wenwen to come back. Then we can borrow a bus from our relatives' work unit to send you back in the evening."

"This is a great trick that works without anyone noticing!" Meng Jinyu's eyes were shining.

Chen Liping's eyebrows relaxed: "Do you agree too? Then..."

"You two are really--" Meng Jinyu interrupted her and changed the subject, "You are just wishful thinking."

Chen Liping's smile froze at the corner of her lips.

Ruan Zhenli also looked at Meng Jinyu in disbelief.

While the two of them were standing there motionless, Meng Jinyu had already carried Youyou off the bed. The mother and daughter reached into the basin with their hands, splashed water on their faces, turned around and left, all in one smooth move.

It's very rough.

When their backs gradually went away, Ruan Zhenli suddenly pulled Chen Liping's hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go to your brother-in-law's workplace and borrow his bus. We have to take Wenwen away before the mother and daughter arrive, otherwise, the child's life will be ruined..."

…

It's a sunny day outside and the sun is shining brightly.

Youyou sat on the back of the bicycle, hugged her mother's waist, swung her little feet back and forth, and looked at the scenery in the courtyard.

Just at this time, Dong Yin was riding past with Meng Meng not far away.

The two children looked at each other from a distance, and both looked reluctant to part.

I just met a good friend, and I don’t know when we will meet again!

The textile factory and the meat processing factory were not far from each other. As there were not so many children in both units, the factory leaders decided to jointly run a nursery.

Early in the morning, Dong Yin was going to send Mengmeng to the nursery.

When they arrived at the nursery, she said sternly, "I'm telling you, after your dad picks you up tonight, you are not allowed to play with that wild girl in the yard yesterday. Do you hear me?"

Meng Meng tilted her head: "Sister Youyou is not a wild girl."

Dong Yin glared again and was about to scold her, but the little one interrupted her in a baby voice: "Sister Youyou is going home today, Mengmeng will miss her."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl got off the back seat of the bicycle and, with her short legs, ran towards her nursery class.

The welfare benefits of state-owned enterprises are good nowadays. Employees can send their children to nurseries, where the children can eat well, sleep well, and make many good friends.

Today, a new friend came to our class.

Children of similar age sat in rows on the small benches in the classroom, looking curiously at the little one in Teacher Yang's hand.

Mengmeng looked the most carefully, opening her big round eyes and looking at him intently.

This child has big eyes, as black and shiny as black grapes, and his skin is white and tender. He is very handsome and different from other children in the class.

"Please introduce yourself." Teacher Yang said with a smile.

The little boy looked at everyone timidly, pinched the corner of his clothes with his little hands, and said softly: "My name is Shanshan——"

Mengmeng loves making friends the most. Her little butt almost left the bench and she waved her hands quickly: "Teacher Yang, Mengmeng wants to sit with Shanshan!"

After watching Teacher Yang send her new friend to her side, Meng Meng asked in a timid voice: "Why are you called Shanshan? Are you a girl?"

Teacher Yang smiled and said, "It's not Shanshan. His full name is Jiang Shan, which means kind."

…

Chen Liping's eldest brother from her mother's family had a bus at his workplace. He made an emergency report and took Ruan Zhenli and Chen Liping to Fenglin Village.

Along the way, Chen Yimin was confused: "You said Wenwen is eager to be someone's stepmother? What's the point!"

Thinking of this, Chen Liping felt very heavy.

A good young girl who has never even had a relationship, now has to be a stepmother to four children!

Seeing that his sister and brother-in-law were silent, Chen Yimin sighed while steering, "Don't worry about it. She's not your biological daughter. Even if she wants to humiliate herself, it's none of your business."

"Why is it none of our business? Maybe we were too ruthless and the child was traumatized. She thought that since the engagement was broken off, she could just marry someone else!" Chen Liping's nose was sour. "I have raised her for nearly 30 years. She has feelings for me. I can't bear to see her become like this. Brother, drive faster. We spent a lot of time on the way to your workplace just now. If we can't pick up Wenwen before Meng Jinyu arrives, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, let's drive faster." Ruan Zhenli also nodded and said in a deep voice: "The child is a good child, but she just got distracted for a moment. We have to bring her back."

Chen Yimin almost laughed out loud when he heard the word "child" all the time. He simply stopped talking and stepped on the accelerator to rush forward.

The ride was bumpy, and Chen Liping and Ruan Zhenli held each other's hands tightly.

"This should be the place. Big brother, please stop the car first." Before the car reached Fenglin Village, Chen Liping was ready to get out and walk over. She was thinking about Ruan Wenwen and didn't want to be too high-profile.

The old couple got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of Fenglin Village together.

Looking at their backs, Chen Yimin shook his head helplessly.

Ruan Wenwen has always been very sweet-mouthed. She used to just please her parents, but after the truth came out and they knew she was not a child of the Ruan family, she still found a way to take a large sum of money from the Ruan family.

More than a hundred yuan, how long would it take for an ordinary worker in this town to earn that salary?

I really don’t know where Ruan Wenwen got such great ability.

…

Ruan Wenwen was in a particularly good mood. When she came out of the kitchen, she looked like a breeze.

All this was thanks to the piece of meat she brought back yesterday.

The meat was very fresh. After she cooked it simply, the Jiang family members rushed to eat it.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Guo were small and got the least amount of meat. After the meal, they pouted and looked very reluctant.

So Ruan Wenwen took the opportunity to persuade Jiang Huanming to consider dividing the family.

Isn't it a matter of dividing the family?

Their third branch is obviously the most promising, so why should they have to bring the other two branches along with them whenever they enjoy any benefit?

If it were in the past, Jiang Huanming would definitely not be willing to divide the family.

But the couple has been getting along very well lately, but Old Lady Jiang always gives Ruan Wenwen a bad look at home, forcing him into a dilemma.

Coupled with Ruan Wenwen's whispering in his ear, Jiang Huanming was shaken for a moment.

At this moment, Ruan Wenwen was thinking about the good thing of dividing the family property, and she felt very happy.

Then she thought again, two days and one night had passed and Youyou hadn't come back yet. She wondered if the child had been lost.

The little bastard has so much money in his pocket, he could run into bad guys at any minute and be robbed of both himself and his money!

It seems like even God is helping her!

Ruan Wenwen became happier and happier as she thought about it. She walked to the main room with a smile and poured herself a glass of water. She glanced around and suddenly drank half a glass of water, choking it all out of her nostrils.

She saw her adoptive parents!

Ruan Wenwen stepped forward anxiously: "Why are you here?"

"Are you really a stepmother in someone else's family?" Chen Liping's eyes turned red, and she said earnestly: "Wenwen, you are so confused! Come with me, or else--"

Ruan Wenwen pulled Chen Liping's hand away and looked around, trying to drive her out: "You go back first, we'll talk later if there's anything."

"No, I must take you away today." Ruan Zhenli said, "We have to discipline you well."

Ruan Wenwen was so angry that she almost laughed. She lowered her voice and said, "You are no longer my parents!"

"There's nothing we can do. Your biological father is gone and your biological mother has been arrested by the police!" Ruan Zhenli said, "If even we don't care about you, you're really doomed!"

Ruan Wenwen listened to the conversation in a disjointed manner and pushed them both out of the house.

However, just as Ruan Zhenli finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head.

“Who was arrested by the police?”

"Your sister has called the police, run quickly, or else—"

With a creaky sound, the door to the inner room was pushed open.

Jiang Guo came out and said sleepily, "Mom, what are you arguing about? I'm still sleeping."

"You just know how to sleep! The back of your head is almost turned into a pancake!" Meng Jinyu's voice was loud, and the sound came from outside, followed by hurried footsteps.

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar tone, Jiang Guo looked at Ruan Wenwen in confusion.

It’s strange, mom hasn’t been so mean to her in a long time, and she didn’t even open her mouth!

However, Ruan Wenwen's gaze fell straight outside the house, her face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were full of fear.

Following Ruan Wenwen's gaze, Jiang Guo's eyes widened, and he was completely frightened awake, curled up there like a quail.

This, this, this——

Why do I have two mothers?

…

Meng Jinyu entered the house, and fearing that Ruan Wenwen would escape, she turned around and blocked the door.

At the same time, Youyou followed what her mother taught her and ran as fast as she could to bring the message to the villagers.

"Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, grandpas and aunts, Youyou's biological mother is back!"

"Hurry up and come to Youyou's house to watch the fun!"

When the production team members in the field heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

It’s good that the little girl is back, but why is she still thinking about her biological mother and stepmother?

What a little fool!
