"It's like money falling from the sky."
The woman came out of the house. "Where did the money come from, sir?"
"Those two idiots from earlier, didn't they ask to borrow a basin of water to wash their faces? They gave me a dollar!" the man said smugly. "We can use that money to buy meat and make dumplings!"
"What a wonderful thing!" The woman smiled happily, her hand on her waist; the baby in her belly had been craving it for a long time.
"So good days will come sooner or later. I'll go out and see if I can buy some meat to nourish you!"
The man touched the woman's stomach, then turned and left.

Lin Hongzhi saw the mother and son return; by now, he was already impatient.
"Why did it take you so long?"
“Women need time to put on makeup, of course. Let’s go see our daughter now!” Tong Shujia said.
Lin Hongzhi didn't want to argue with her any longer, so he turned around and went into the law enforcement office. This time it went more smoothly than yesterday. After submitting their documents, they were granted visitation rights.
Someone took them to the detention center, where they saw their daughter in the visiting room.
When Lin Yueru saw her parents and younger brother arrive, she felt as if she had found a savior and hurriedly told them...
"I don't want to stay here! Take me out of here right now! The bed is hard and dirty, the food is like dishwater, and the steamed buns aren't even steamed buns, they're hard cornbread. I can't eat them at all!"
Tong Shujia was heartbroken to see how much thinner her daughter had become, and could only hold her child's hand.
"Mommy's here, don't be afraid, Mommy will make sure nothing happens to you!"
"Mom, this is no place for a human being! I want to leave! Get me out of here!" Lin Yueru said in agony. "I'll do anything to get me out of here!"
Lin Hongzhi looked at his daughter with a cold gaze, "Then you have to tell me what exactly happened that day."
Lin Yueru lowered her head and said, "I just had an argument with them that day."
Lin Hongzhi slammed his fist on the table. "If that's all, how did you get arrested? Tell me, what else did you do?"
Lin Yueru shuddered in fright, looked up and said with a wronged expression, "It was Gu Lingxiao's parents who invited me to dinner at that restaurant, but he brought a divorced woman with him, saying she was his true love. What am I to him? I'm young and beautiful, and I have a good job. Why didn't he choose me?"
Tong Shujia immediately thought of that girl, who looked exactly like her sister, and then she looked at her daughter.
Does this mean that the same mistakes will be repeated in their generation?
Her own daughter, who lost to her sister's daughter!
She was furious. She had won against her sister, so why did her daughter lose?
Lin Hongzhi: "Since he has someone he likes, then you shouldn't bother him."
"Dad!" Lin Yueru cried out indignantly, "How could you speak up for him? We were about to be together!"
“That doesn’t mean they’re not together. Since he can go against his parents, it means they have feelings for each other, so you shouldn’t interfere.” Lin Hongzhi continued to advise his daughter, “You have to look forward, and then you’ll find there are many excellent young men out there.”
Lin Yueru felt that her father was biased, so she could only look to her mother.
"What should I do? I don't want to be locked up here anymore."
"I'll figure something out," Tong Shujia said. "You can stay here for a few days."
Lin Yueru was pulled up by the administrator behind her, and then she stood up obediently.
The administrator said, "Comrades, your visiting time is over. You can go back now!"
Lin Hongzhi knew he couldn't break the rules, so he could only watch as his daughter was taken away.
Tong Shujia watched her daughter leave, her heart aching terribly, and she couldn't help but curse under her breath.
"It's all the fault of those damned Gu family members who ruined my perfectly good daughter like this."
Lin Hongzhi: "Stop swearing here, let's go outside first."
Tong Shujia turned to the man and said, "Lin Hongzhi! You're such a waste!"
After uttering that curse, he grabbed his bag from the stool and stormed out.
Lin Hongzhi stared in the direction the woman had left. How long ago was it that the little girl who used to look at him with such eyes was gone, replaced by a shrew? He felt a sense of disorientation.
Tong Shujia walked outside in one breath and saw the cars parked at the door. As she walked past each car, her mood gradually calmed down.
Their daughters will not lose. Although things are not going well for them now, they can wait!
Just like she waited for her sister to die back then!
Lin Hongzhi walked out casually, and when his eyes met Tong Shujia's, he felt a resentment that sent chills down his spine.
"Dad, Mom, now that we've met my sister, can we go eat? And where are we staying tonight?"
