The woman sat down, resting her chin on her hand, and suddenly said, "Something happened to the person who looked like me, didn't it?"

Xu Xinning looked at her without saying anything.

The woman didn't seem to mind, as if she were murmuring to herself, "I envy that person. Do you miss her? If there were a child like you in this world who thinks of me like this, I feel it would be worth dying for. Child, do you know? This world is actually very cruel for some people; they can't even dream of having a free soul. Child, I know you're a good child. If I were the person you miss, my greatest wish would definitely be for you to live a happy and healthy life."

Xu Xinning always felt that she was implying something.

Xu Xinning unconsciously stared at her face again, but even at such close range, she couldn't find a single flaw.

Seeing Xu Xinning looking at her so intently again, the woman chuckled softly and teased, "Want to take a closer look?"

Xu Xinning lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Wang Ying used to always have a faint fragrance about her, but this woman smelled nothing but medicine.

The woman suddenly stood up and said softly, "The Mu family are all good people. You will be happy."

Xu Xinning looked at the woman with great curiosity, and then she saw the adopted son running towards them.

The adopted son glared at Xu Xinning, then gently supported the woman's arm and said, "Why did you come out alone? It's windy outside, what if something happens to you?"

The woman gently patted her adopted son's hand and said with a loving expression, "He's not as weak as you think. I have a special connection with this young friend. It's a pleasure to look at such a beautiful girl. It's a pity she already has a boyfriend, otherwise..."

The adopted son glared at Xu Xinning and interrupted her, saying, "I don't like women who look so seductive."

The woman glared at her adopted son, annoyed, and said, "How can you talk like that? What a wonderful girl she is, it's a pity that neither of us is fortunate enough to have her."

As the two walked away, their voices became increasingly inaudible. Judging from their demeanor, they seemed to have a very good relationship.

Xu Xinning felt that the woman's words seemed normal, but also revealed something strange. Xu Xinning wanted to grasp something, but felt very empty.

It's hard to imagine that such a gentle person could do the kind of ruthless things that Mu Jingshu described.

Perhaps everyone has two sides? And what you saw was only the side she wanted you to see.

Xu Laosan has had a very difficult month. Without his sister's protection, he now seems to have become the target of attacks from his four elders.

The exam results came out, and Xu Laosan scored 34 in Chinese and 59 in math, just one point short of passing. He went to the teacher's office many times to try and find evidence that the teacher had deducted an extra point from him, but he couldn't find any. It turned out that the teacher was really good at math.

The most hateful one is Chen Jianguo, who scored 90 in Chinese and 100 in math.

Is this for real? He always treated him like a good brother. Is this what a good brother is? Is this someone who wants his parents to beat him to death?

Xu Laosan didn't dare go home, so after thinking about it, he ran up the mountain to find something good to eat.

Xu Yaoyang has experienced a major event in the past few days. His female colleague, for some unknown reason, dragged him to her dormitory when he was about to leave work and go home. And then, things just happened naturally.

After it was all over, Xu Yaoyang regretted it. He had a wife and children. If people found out that he had a problem with his lifestyle, his life would be ruined, and the first wife's family probably wouldn't care about him anymore.

Despite his regret, once he experienced this kind of thing for the first time, it seemed like he was addicted, and the sensory stimulation gave him an unprecedented excitement.

Xu Yaoyang hasn't been home for many days. At work, he and his female colleague are exchanging flirtatious glances, revealing an incredibly sweet and intimate relationship.

They say there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and anyone with experience could easily spot the tension between the two.

The commune was not far from Xujia Village, and within a few days the news reached Xu Yaoyang's wife's ears.

At first, Xu Yaoyang's wife didn't believe it, but she became uneasy as Xu Yaoyang was often away from home.

Xu Yaoyang's wife is almost seven months pregnant. Because she is too thin, her belly doesn't look very big. You can't even tell from behind. From the front, it looks like half a ball is being held up, which is quite abrupt.

Since Xu Yaoyang wasn't going home, his wife went to the commune to look for him.

People in the countryside like to get up early. When Xu Yaoyang's wife arrived at the radio station, there was still a long time before work started. Coincidentally, Xu Yaoyang was still in his female colleague's bed at that time.

This wasn't the first time Xu Yaoyang's wife had visited his workplace. Since the radio station wasn't very big, she reached Xu Yaoyang's usual resting place in just a few steps. Before she could even knock, she heard that restrained, hushed sound coming from next door.

We've all been through this, and we all know what that sound means.

Xu Yaoyang's wife frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling.

She didn't knock, but just stood at the door waiting.

Time passed by, and to Xu Yaoyang's wife, it felt like an eternity had gone by.

Xu Yaoyang never expected to see his wife when he opened the door.

When the female colleague saw Xu Yaoyang standing there in a daze, she ran over and hugged his waist, asking, "Yaoyang, what's wrong?"

Xu Yaoyang was startled by his female colleague's actions and instinctively pushed her away.

"Wife, wife!"

Xu Yaoyang's wife's legs seemed to be frozen in place. She wanted to run away, she wanted to run home. She regretted coming here. If she hadn't come, would it have been as if nothing had happened?

The female colleague was also startled, but within seconds she seemed completely unaffected. She had long since given up on living her current life; she truly loved Xu Yaoyang and had wanted to marry him for a long time.

Now that they've been caught, that woman should be out of the picture.

"You know? Good. You should have divorced long ago. As soon as you're divorced, Yaoyang and I will get married. I'll talk to my dad and ask him to transfer us both to the county town. I've had enough of staying in the countryside."

Xu Yaoyang's wife had a pale face, and she just stared intently at Xu Yaoyang.

Transferring to the county town was something Xu Yaoyang had been longing for. He originally wanted to scold his female colleague, but after hearing her say that, he held back.

Xu Yaoyang's wife wasn't stupid; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so popular with the second wife. Of course, she could see through Xu Yaoyang's intentions.

People are selfish. She understands Xu Yaoyang and knows what he will choose, but she just can't accept it.

This pregnancy was already difficult enough, and with all this excitement, my lower abdomen felt heavy.
