Chapter 242 Episode 6

Xu Junjun finally arrived late. "What's wrong? What happened?"

She squeezed through the crowd and stood next to Xu Shanshan to ask.

The inspector, Sister Wu, immediately scolded, "Your sister's got some nerve now. She even dared to throw things at me when I said the matchboxes she made weren't good. Is this matchbox factory going to be owned by the Xu family tomorrow?"

Xu Junjun didn't know much, but seeing so many people, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sister Wu. Shanshan is still young, please don't hold it against her."

Xu Junjun has a gentle personality, which means she is relatively timid. She is afraid of trouble, so she always tries to avoid conflict.

Xu Shanshan disliked her behavior and shook off her arm, demanding, "What are you apologizing for?"

"It's clearly her fault. She's always been fine when things are blurry like this before, but not today."

As Xu Shanshan said this, she glared at Sister Wu, who was conducting the inspection, and said, "You know exactly what you're thinking."

"But if you want to bully me, I can only say that you've messed with the wrong person."

She's just a young girl, and there's no one in charge of her family. Saying things like that will only make people laugh.

Sister Wu and the two people who were sorting the goods immediately burst out laughing.

Xu Shanshan said with a straight face, "I will not rework the goods. If you have the guts, then get the factory manager to fire me!"

After Xu Shanshan finished speaking, she pushed through the crowd and walked away with her head held high.

She wasn't afraid of Sister Wu at all. After all, Lu Shan was Wen Changyu's comrade-in-arms. With Lu Shan around, how could she really be fired?

What's more, this job was bought by her father.

"She, she..." Xu Shanshan left just like that, which made Sister Wu very angry.

Everyone else tried to comfort Sister Wu and tell her not to be angry. Xu Junjun even picked up the box on Sister Wu's table and said, "Sister Wu, I'll take care of these tasks."

Sister Wu rolled her eyes at her, but didn't say anything more.

Xu Junjun had to go back to work, so she got home later than usual that night.

Xu Shanshan worked during the day and also got into arguments with people, so she was hungry very early in the evening.

She made herself some fried rice.

They didn't even bother with Xu's mother lying behind the curtain.

Of course, no food was left for Xu Junjun either.

Xu Junjun didn't get home until 8 p.m. As soon as she arrived, her mother behind the curtain started coughing as if she had flipped a switch.

There weren't even any lights on inside. Xu Junjun lit one and asked her mother, "Mother, have you eaten? What did you have for dinner?"

She assumed that since Xu Shanshan was at home, she would definitely be cooking for Xu's mother.

But Xu's mother burst into tears.

She didn't look like she had eaten at all.

Xu Shanshan, who was sleeping in her own bed, heard the crying coming from the bed next to hers and impatiently turned over.

"Mom, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you," Xu Junjun said wearily.

With a hint of heartache in her voice, Xu's mother held her hand and asked, "Why are you so late today?"

Xu Junjun glanced at the bed curtains but didn't say anything in the end: "I was delayed during the day, so it's late."

Xu's mother nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said to her, "Make yourself something to eat. I've been lying at home all day and I'm not hungry. You have to work tomorrow!"

"How can that be? Food is essential for life. You'll get hungry if you skip a meal. Mom, just wait a minute, it'll be ready soon."

Xu Junjun quickly scooped out two bowls of hand-pulled noodles, one for herself and one for her mother.

When Xu Junjun lay down in bed, Xu Shanshan was already asleep. But when Xu Junjun woke up the next day, Xu Shanshan was still asleep.

Xu Junjun washed her face and saw that Xu Shanshan was still sleeping, so she went over and called out, "Shanshan, Shanshan, get up quickly, you're going to be late."

Xu Shanshan opened her eyes, looked at her, and said, "I'm not going. Didn't I say that at the factory yesterday?"

"Cough cough..."

Then, a series of coughs came from the side.

Xu Junjun also advised, "Shanshan, don't be stubborn. Although the salary here isn't high, it's not easy to find a job these days, you..."

Xu Shanshan jumped out of bed and told Xu Junjun, "You don't need to worry about me, just take care of yourself."

After saying that, he tidied himself up and went out.

Xu Junjun felt that she was still angry, but once she calmed down, she would still have to do the work, so she took the initiative to help her ask for leave.

Xu Shanshan had no intention of going back to work at that factory. After thinking about it, she went to find Wen Changyu instead.

Although she was able to adapt well after her divorce in her previous life, it was because her circumstances were not nearly as dire as they had been, and her surroundings were much better.

Of course, the most important thing is that she was driven by a strong will back then, but that will has long since dissipated, so she can't keep going anymore.

As a result, she went to Lu Shan's house to ask about Wen Changyu's situation. Lu Shan's wife told her, "Commander Wen? Commander Wen has passed away. He left the day before yesterday."

The day before yesterday?

"Yes, they must have had something urgent to attend to, that's why they left in such a hurry."

Xu Shanshan wandered along the roadside, pondering the reason for Wen Changyu's sudden departure.

In his previous life, he didn't suddenly leave. In fact, after their blind date, he treated her to a meal and gave her gifts.

I even bought a lot of things for her family, how come in this life...

She discovered that many things were different in this life compared to the previous one.

For example, in this life, Wen Changyu was sick, and the two did not go on a blind date.

In this life, she gets into arguments with people in the family compound and the factory, things that never happened in her previous life.

Could it be because of her rebirth?

But Wen Changyu is already gone, he...

"Did he say anything when he left?" Xu Shanshan returned to Lu Shan's house to ask.

Lu Shan's wife shook her head. "No, I didn't even have time to tell Lao Lu."

Xu Shanshan remembered that in her previous life, one of Wen Changyu's superiors wanted to introduce his daughter to him, but Wen Changyu took a liking to her and did not go on a blind date with that girl.

The leader's daughter grew up in the countryside, Xu Shanshan thought, perhaps that was why Wen Changyu chose her.

But if Wen Changyu goes on a blind date with that girl first, given Wen Changyu's personality...

Xu Shanshan went back and started packing her things. Just as she was about to leave, her mother, who had been behind the curtain, lifted it and came out.

Having not seen a ray of sunshine for months, her face was somewhat pale. "Where are you going?"

"I need to go out for something."

"What could a teenage girl like you possibly need to do?"

She tried to snatch Xu Shanshan's suitcase, but Xu Shanshan dodged it.

"I'll explain when I get back, but I really have something to do right now." She finished speaking and left decisively.

Xu's mother tried to catch her, but having been bedridden for a long time and constantly worrying, she was not agile enough to catch her.

After running away from the family compound, Xu Shanshan took a rickshaw and went directly to the train station.

Then, carrying his suitcase, he boarded the train bound for Beijing.

She didn't need to ask Wen Changyu's address in Beijing, because she already knew it.

Upon arriving in Beijing, Xu Shanshan went directly to Wen Changyu's unit with her suitcase. "I'm looking for Wen Changyu, Regiment Commander Wen," she told the communications soldier.

The young communications soldier blushed as soon as he saw her.

Xu Shanshan is indeed beautiful. She comes from a wealthy family, and her skin is fairer and brighter than that of the average girl. In addition, she knows how to dress and is young. All her advantages are stacked up.

For troops where everyone is of the same sex, it is indeed difficult for young soldiers to control themselves.

Wen Changyu was quite surprised to hear that someone was looking for him!

"Looking for me? Who?"
