"How could your third sister-in-law do this?" Gu Xin cried upon hearing this, feeling extremely distressed.

How could such a wonderful sister like Yumei encounter such a thing?

Grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian didn't comment on the Sun family. Grandma Gu asked, "You're not planning to go back in the future?"

Sun Yumei nodded.

Cai Xiaolian asked again, "I remember you were very good at embroidery? The purse you embroidered for Xinxin before was very beautiful, with neat stitches."

Sun Yumei looked at Cai Xiaolian with a puzzled expression.

Cai Xiaolian smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I'll hire you to do needlework."

Cai Xiaolian recalled those time-travel novels where girls could earn money by designing clothes and drawing patterns.

Perfect timing! She's well-informed and a good painter. She'd always wanted to wait until Gu Shouxin settled down before fully developing the business, and now that things are stable, isn't it?

On her way here, she was thinking about what she would do after arriving. Someone like Sun Yumei would be perfect for managing the embroidery shop.

Although there isn't much demand for embroidery in Kuncheng, Kuncheng has several trading districts. Those who are nearby can sell their embroidery in these trading districts, while those who are farther away can transport it to various prefectures to sell.

Because of the inconvenient transportation, she first focused on creating high-quality products. Once she had a group of embroiderers, she would then make some simpler, smaller items.

Sun Yumei didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Gu Xin hugged Sun Yumei's arm: "Sister Yumei, my mother's paintings are very beautiful, but she's not good at embroidery. My sister doesn't like embroidery anymore either; she won't even hold a needle. My aunt doesn't know how either. So, please agree to my mother's request! She can earn a lot of money. When you have money, you can buy your own house! Like my eldest sister said, if you see a handsome man, you can use money to win him over. If you don't like him anymore, you can change your mind. Just live however you want!"

Grandma Gu: This Huihui!

Cai Xiaolian: Huihui, well done!

Sun Yumei was relieved to see that Grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian didn't scold Gu Xin.

She thought for a moment and said, "Grandma Gu, Second Aunt Gu, Xin Xin, I know that even if I wanted to commit suicide again, you wouldn't allow it. Third time's the charm. The first time I almost lost my life, you saved me; the second time, you saved me too. You are my saviors; you gave me my life. So, I won't do it a third time. Second Aunt, if you need anything, just tell me. I'm already one of your people, so I'm shamelessly asking you to help me resolve the issue with the Relief Pavilion. From now on, I will definitely do my job diligently!"

The first time she was beaten, her eight-month-old child died in the womb, almost costing her and her unborn child their lives. It was the Gu family who saved her. The second time she tried to drown herself, it was the Gu family who saved her again. If there were a third time, she would feel guilty. She would rather live a good life, do things for others, and repay the life-saving grace.

She had wanted to die before, firstly because she felt she was a burden, and secondly because she had been sold to a brothel and had lost the will to live.

Now that the Gu family has saved her life and given her work, she doesn't have to go back to the brothel. She doesn't want to die anymore.

Death is a terrible thing, and no one would want to die if there were even the slightest hope of survival.

...

The next morning, the Gu sisters escorted Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe to report to Madam Peng. Just as they arrived at the county government office, they saw a carriage stop. A woman got out of the carriage first, followed by Peng Yizhu. Peng Yizhu handed the child to the woman and got out of the carriage.

Just as Gu Xin was about to greet someone, she saw a pretty young girl get out of the car. She looked very familiar. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Sisi, quick, pinch me!"
