Ye Haonan didn't leave until the train left the platform and gradually disappeared from sight.

Chen Ruxue found her seat according to the seating number marked on her train ticket.

Fortunately, her seat was next to the window.

Chen Ruxue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was good. When she was bored, she could look out the window and kill time.

It takes more than ten hours to take a train from the countryside where she lives to Ning City.

It’s not that she didn’t want to buy a more comfortable sleeper ticket, but she really had no other options.

Along the way, the train stopped and started frequently. Chen Ruxue ate and slept, and only went to the toilet when she really couldn't bear it anymore.

Finally, after seventeen hours of agonizing journey, the train arrived at Ningshi Railway Station.

Chen Ruxue carried her luggage bag, stretched her stiff body, and then got off the train.

Following the memories of the original owner, Chen Ruxue finally arrived at the staff quarters of the largest machinery factory in Ning City.

The machinery factory’s staff quarters is where Chen Ruxue grew up, and it carries many memories of her and her father Chen Jun.

However, at this moment, Chen Ruxue was not in the mood to recall the past slowly.

After getting off the train, Chen Ruxue deliberately changed into a set of worn clothes.

Next, we entered the family compound and a good show was about to begin.

Chen Ruxue, carrying her luggage bag, just walked into the gate of the family compound and saw two middle-aged women chatting.

The two women recognized Chen Ruxue at a glance and were a little surprised.

"You... are Xiaoxue! Didn't you go to the countryside? Why did you come back suddenly?" One of the short and fat women asked curiously.

"Oh! What else could it be? It must be that Sun Huijuan wrote to tell me specifically.

Isn't the Tian family's daughter getting married soon? Since we're all family, there's no reason not to tell them!" Another thin woman interrupted.

Chen Ruxue quickly recognized the two people who were talking. They were none other than Aunt Qi and Aunt Wang, two neighbors who lived not far from the Tian family.

These two are the most gossipy. They know all the big and small things that happen in the entire family compound.

Moreover, both of them were at odds with their stepmother. Perhaps it was jealousy that made them feel that Sun Huijuan, a widow, was extremely lucky to marry a man like Tian Dachuan.

Although the men they married were not bad, one was the workshop director of a machinery factory and the other was a purchasing agent of the machinery factory.

But women's jealousy is so unreasonable and irrational.

Anyway, Aunt Qi and Aunt Wang always like to stare at the Tian family and make fun of Sun Huijuan.

For example, when Chen Ruxue went to the countryside more than a year ago, the two of them talked about it behind her back a lot.

The entire family compound knew that Sun Huijuan, their biological mother, was cruel and had the heart to send her own daughter to the countryside.

It's strange enough that she doesn't love her own daughter, but what's even stranger is that Sun Huijuan favors her stepdaughter Tian Siyu.

She bought her a job and found a good partner for her, making it seem as if Tian Siyu was her biological daughter. Everyone said that once there is a stepfather, the biological mother becomes a stepmother.

Because of this incident, Sun Huijuan was looked down upon by almost all the women in the family compound.

But even so, the Tian family's life was not affected at all, but got better and better.

Let’s not even mention Tian Dachuan, the deputy director of the machinery factory. Let’s just talk about Tian Siyu, the girl from the Tian family. She’s as beautiful as a flower in her teens. Not only that, I heard she’s found a good partner.

Tian Siyu's boyfriend is the only son of the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and his family is extremely well-off.

There were people coming and going in the family compound, and I met that young man several times. He was really good-looking, fair-skinned, tall, and had a formal job.

Walking together with Tian Siyu, the handsome man and beautiful woman look quite a good match.

Aunt Qi and Aunt Wang were naturally jealous too.

Each of their families also has a daughter. Although she is not as pretty as Tian Siyu, she is not bad either. But in the end, they didn't marry well. How could they be willing to accept this?

However, when the two saw Chen Ruxue wearing tattered clothes, their depression suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, they felt a little sympathy for her.

Chen Ruxue is a pitiful child. Her father died at a young age, and her mother Sun Huijuan remarried early, making her a burden. What good could she have ended up with?

Thinking of this, Aunt Qi couldn't help but soften her voice, "Xiaoxue! You've suffered so much. You must be very tired after rushing back from the countryside. You look so tired and exhausted. Auntie won't waste your time. Come home quickly!"

Aunt Wang on the side also hurriedly said, "That's right, Ruxue, go back quickly! At that time, I saw your mother buying fish and meat. I guess she knew you were coming back and specially welcomed you back!"

When you have time, come visit my aunt!"

"Well! Okay, Auntie, I'll go home first." Chen Ruxue said a few perfunctory words and went straight into the Tian family.

As soon as I entered the door, I was met with a pair of smiling eyes!

The owner of the eyes was none other than her stepmother, Sun Huijuan.

For a moment, Chen Ruxue witnessed a real "face-changing technique" with her own eyes.

Sun Huijuan was stunned at first, but quickly reacted. Her originally smiling face darkened in an instant, "Why did you come back so suddenly, you little bitch? Didn't you say you were getting married? Why didn't you stay in the countryside with your peasant husband? Why did you come back?"

Chen Ruxue... She was really impressed that her mother could say these words.
