Qi Baozhu was unhappy, because so many distant relatives came to borrow money from her. She felt depressed because all her money was used to give to Lin Jiaojiao, but she couldn't say it out loud. Now everyone thought she was rich, and those relatives came to ask for money, which made her very annoyed.

After Tu Yufan and his friends donated the money, they just walked away. Naturally, no one came to them and they were left with nothing.

Tu Yufan didn't care about Qi Baozhu's current mood. Since she felt that Lin Shu was unfilial, she would just follow the lowest standard and just have enough food and clothing in the countryside.

Lin Shu was very quiet along the way, looking at the scenery outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Feeling Tu Yufan's eyes on her, she smiled and said, "No, I'm in a good mood, and my mother is right. I haven't visited her for so many years, I'm quite unfilial, but I can't go to her either. Anyway, it's enough for her to have Lin Jiaojiao."

There was no gloom in her voice, and it even had a hint of playfulness, but Tu Yufan remembered the original plot, when Lin Shu's family was short of money and wanted to borrow food from her parents' home.

Qi Baozhu drove her away directly, saying contemptuously: "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. How can a daughter ask her parents for things? If you can't afford to live, then don't live."

Fortunately, Lin Shu today has never experienced these things, and the scars from her childhood have slowly healed, or at least she has let them go.

Tu Yufan took Lin Shu back to North City.

A dozen years later, the entire North City has undergone a great change. Many old houses have become high-rise buildings, more and more people own cars, and the city has become more and more crowded.

Yuan Shuyang had already retired a long time ago and would occasionally go to the garden to play chess with a group of old grandfathers. After spending a long time together, Tu Yufan had already decided to treat him as his own relative.

He had lost contact with his son a long time ago. He had tried to find him once, but the result was not satisfactory. He disappeared when the other city was at its most chaotic. After a severe crackdown, order was gradually restored. Now this place is developing rapidly and the city is well managed. There is no sign of the chaos of the past. However, many souls are still buried in the steel and concrete, and it is very likely that his son is also buried there.

Tu Yufan did not tell Yuan Shuyang about all this. Some things were still buried deep in his heart. Even if he hated his son, they were related by blood, and he was not sure if he could bear the news.

Chen Xin went abroad to study later, and a few months later he brought a blonde foreign girl with him.

Yuan Shuyang was in a mess again, muttering about how he could marry a foreigner. Of course, Chen Xinye would not translate this to her girlfriend.

Lin Shu didn't mind who her son married. He was grown up now and had his own family. She had her parents to accompany her and was busy with work during the day. As long as the girl was of good character, she would not have the time to worry about who he liked. After all, he was deceived, so he could learn a lesson.

Tu Yufan thought that this girl liked his son very much. However, in this era, it took a lot of courage for her to marry to this underdeveloped country.

At least Chen Xinbei didn't think about marrying into a foreign family, which was a blessing in disguise.

Soon, Chen Xin and her family held a grand wedding in their country, and the girl's parents also came. Although they were more open abroad, they were still a little nervous about their daughter marrying in this country.

Now that I've seen the strength of his family at the wedding, the weight of the worry in my heart has finally been put down.

The next day, Chen Xin's wife gave birth to a lovely daughter.

Yuan Shuyang finally stopped talking about foreigners and spent the whole day taking Chen Xin'e's daughter out to show off. The child had puffed cheeks, green pupils, and golden hair, like a rag doll, and was the envy of all his chess friends.

At this time, Qi Baozhu called Lin Shu again.

Except for some older ones, Lin Shu basically did not go back to Xinge Village for these years. Every time Qi Baozhu called to make a fuss, she would give her less money. The bigger the fuss, the less money she gave. Finally, she finally settled down.

This time it was for Lin Jiaojiao's sake.

She divorced Song Yi and returned to Xinge Village with nothing.
