"Boss Zheng, thank you for your concern. Let's say goodbye here!" When they reached the fork in the road, one road led to Changhe Village and the other led to Xianjing Town. Liu Shulin finally spoke and said goodbye to Zheng Xianren.
Zheng Xianren wanted to say something, but hesitated, then said: "Okay, take care on your journey!"
Liu Shulin just nodded and walked towards Changhe Village.
When she got home, she cooked.
This time, she cooked a little more.
It was getting a little dark when Cai Junze came back from outside.
Liu Shulin was not surprised at all and asked calmly, "Are you back?"

Cai Junze's body trembled involuntarily, his eyes filled with disbelief. He stared at his mother, who looked increasingly unfamiliar, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but roar:
"Mom, you weren't like this before! What's wrong with you lately? Why did you suddenly become so cold to me? I almost don't recognize you anymore!"
"Could it be that you no longer have me as your son in your heart?"
"Or, in fact, I—"
"Not your biological child?"
