Du Yunying knew that things wouldn't work with Gu Sinian. If she didn't want to go back to that suffocating place, she had to find another way to stay.
Judging from how hard she worked yesterday cooking and grocery shopping, that brat Gu Sinian definitely wouldn't leave such a dangerous person like her by Yingying's side to take care of her.
She simply couldn't do chores like grocery shopping, cooking, or laundry; she wasn't good at them at all. She should just go back to what she was good at.
She is suited to seeing patients and researching pills.
In her past life, she was the eldest daughter of the Su family. The reason she was able to earn so much family fortune to leave to Yingying was entirely due to the profits from her pharmaceutical factory.
She was completely unfamiliar with these household chores and had no talent for them. She could only live comfortably by going back to her old profession.
Although she really wanted to stay by Yingying's side and take good care of her, with her skills, she was definitely not capable of taking care of others.
Yesterday, that brat Gu Sinian spent several hours cleaning up the mess. She's not suited to be a nanny; she should go back to her familiar field to shine.
She has to be herself to be Yingying's mother.
Only if she becomes better can Yingying become better.
With so many people in the family compound, there were quite a few who wanted to find someone suitable to take care of Yingying, so she decided not to get involved.
She stood in the courtyard waiting for Qin to get off work. The man saw her from afar and, seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, quickened his pace.
"You were looking for me? Let's go inside and talk?"
Du Yunying shook her head. Although Qin Fang was older, he had always been unmarried. How could a widow like her enter the home of an unmarried man? It was unreasonable.
"This isn't appropriate. As a widow, I won't go in. We can just stand here and chat for a bit."
Qin Fang nodded, admitting that he hadn't considered things carefully and had forgotten her identity.
"Let's say a few words here. May I ask what brings you here?"
Du Yunying nodded, "I need to talk to you about something, but... it's a little difficult."
Tell me about it. I'll definitely help if I can.
Qin Fang realized he was bewitched, actually mistaking her for Yingying's mother; he must have lost his mind...
People cannot be brought back to life, and besides, the two people have very similar personalities and temperaments, but their appearances and ages don't match.
He transferred his feelings for Su Wan to another woman, a young woman sixteen years his junior. How could he have such despicable thoughts?
"Could I work at the local health center? I know traditional Chinese medicine. How about I start by doing odd jobs?"
"So, Yingying, what are you planning to do about this?"
Du Yunying said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I'm not good at housework at all. Even yesterday evening, when Commander Gu asked me to help buy groceries, I couldn't tell what vegetables were at all, so I just bought a bunch of random things, which led to the funny situation."
“I’m really not good at being a nanny, so I might as well give up. I don’t want to go back to Happiness Village, so I want to find a different job.”
Qin Fang wasn't the type to force others. The reason he found her a job taking care of someone yesterday was because he thought that since she was born in the countryside, she could do everything...
I never expected him to be someone who's lazy and clueless about farming...
He misjudged her, assuming that because her hands were rough, she was good at housework.
"Sure. I'll talk to the health center this afternoon, and you can go in and help out. Whether you have the real skills to stay depends on yourself."
"Thank you, sir. You are such a kind person."
Qin Fang felt inexplicably a little annoyed after being given the "friend zone" treatment.
Did he misunderstand?
Su Wanning knows traditional Chinese medicine and pharmaceuticals, so why does she know them? A girl from a rural background, what ordinary family has the means to send their daughter to learn traditional Chinese medicine?
Moreover, her biological mother is gone, and she only has a stepfather, stepmother, and a half-brother. Is all of this just a coincidence?
Her father and stepmother were willing to marry her off to a dying man to bring him good luck, which must have been bad for her. So it doesn't make sense that she knew medicine.
However, the investigation revealed that she had never studied traditional Chinese medicine, yet today she asked him to find her a job at a health clinic.
Qin Fang rubbed his furrowed brows. Everything was too coincidental. He suspected that the person in front of him was the one he had been longing for.
But everything still needs to be verified.
Even if it is, so what?
There is a sixteen-year age difference between the two. She is in the prime of her life, while he is approaching fifty and can't get over his own feelings.
Thinking about it this way, the wisps of mist that had been swirling in Qin's mind became clear.
She married a disabled husband at the age of twenty, lived as a widow at the age of twenty-eight, and was then forced to marry an abusive old man.
She accepted her fate of marrying a disabled person, but she refused to accept it the second time...
The changes are huge.
For rural women, washing clothes and cooking are the most basic means of survival; even buying and washing vegetables can make the kitchen disappear...
That's very much like Yingying's style.
She doesn't know anything either.
People who have been pampered since childhood are like this; they have a good reason to suspect that the person in front of them is the one they have been longing for for many years.
We'll know if he's just bluffing or not. "I sent someone to look for the materials in the Shanghai library yesterday, but they couldn't find them. They're clearly in the north, but they insist they don't have them. It's completely useless."
Without thinking twice, Du Yunying blurted out, "The largest library in Shanghai is in the south. How can you expect someone to find it in the north?"
Qin Fang excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Du Yunying's hand, "You're Wan Ning, aren't you?"
Du Yunying was stunned. Was this old man jumping the topic a little too fast? How did he end up talking about her as Su Wanning?
She hadn't said anything just now, but recalling what she had said, she quickly covered her mouth.
"You...you...you...you tricked me..."
"If I don't lie to you, how long are you going to keep lying to me?"
"Our fate ended more than ten years ago, the day you stood me up. I don't know where I gave myself away, but it's impossible for us now. I am Du Yunying now, not Su Wanning. Watch your mouth."
"That's not how it is. The mission failed back then. I was in a hurry to catch the fugitive and didn't have time to keep our appointment. After I finished dealing with things, I came back to find you, but I couldn't find you anywhere. It was as if you had vanished into thin air. I could no longer find anyone named Su Wanning."
"Later... I searched for a long time, but still couldn't find a single clue about you, so I followed the organization's arrangements and returned to Beijing to report on my work."
Du Yunying stared blankly at the man in front of her. They had missed each other for many years. "What's the use of saying this now? Missing is missing."
Qin Fang held Du Yunying's hand, afraid that she would run away at any moment. "How could it be useless? I have been looking for you for more than ten years. It must be that God took pity on me and sent you back to my side."
