Chapter 24



I made four dishes and one soup for lunch, including pork slices with green peppers, fish head stewed with tofu, fish balls and vegetable soup, stir-fried water spinach, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup.

I don’t know if it’s because I started to let go as soon as I got home, but after the meal was ready, the kitchen was a mess.

There is no time to clean up, so I can only rely on the nanny.

Su Ying heard from Han Jingyuan that the nanny worked in the family for a few years when he was a child. After he got married and became a widow, she came back to the Han family as a nanny.

The Han family, from the old man to the children, all respected her very much.

Su Ying was also very polite, "Aunt Zhen, please clean up the kitchen."

Fu Yuzhen was touched when she saw that the children had left food for her. Several of her sisters were nannies and her treatment was not the best, but the Han family treated her as a human being the most.

"I'll clean up the house, you guys go to the hospital quickly, the old man must be impatient."

Su Ying and her four children returned to the hospital with food.

In the old man's ward, there was an old man with gray hair who brought his own white rice. He looked at the children and said seriously:

"Han Jingchen, I can taste the food your nanny cooks. Unless you let me taste the food you brought, I won't admit that you can cook."

Han Jingchen was almost provoked to jump up, "I only made the amount for great grandfather and uncle, so you can only taste a little bit."

Tong Jinguo couldn't wait to pick up a fish ball, which was fresh and tender. He then tried a few other dishes. They were certainly not cooked by the Han family's nanny, but they were quite delicious. It was impossible for Han Jingchen, a little troublemaker, to learn this skill in just one month.

He looked at the kids in disbelief, "You guys lied to me, an old man. Did you buy this ready-made from a restaurant?"

Han Jingchen calmed down and stopped falling for the trick. He said, "Yes, it was bought from the restaurant. You don't care about it. Uncle Yi, come and eat it quickly."

Han Huaishan laughed proudly. His great-grandson could cook now. Han Huaishan was very pleased.

"Sui Yi watched them do this with his own eyes. You have many filial sons and grandchildren. Ask them to bring you food."

After tasting it again, I found it light and low in oil, very suitable for patients. It is different from the food in restaurants. It has that nostalgic taste of home-cooked meals, the taste of home that I would miss if I didn’t eat it.

Han Xinxing pointed at the green peppers in the meat slices and said, "Grandpa, I cut the green peppers."

Han Jingchen said disdainfully, "The biggest downside is the size of the green pepper. Do you think it goes well with the meat? Food should also be aesthetically pleasing. Only when it's pleasing to the eye can you have a good appetite."

Han Huaishan picked up a green pepper and praised: "Grandpa thinks this is just the right size. Xingxing is really amazing."

Han Xinxing was proud and did not forget her uncle and sister. "My uncle washed the other dishes, and Cancan steamed the rice."

Tong Jinguo felt jealous and felt sad. He always felt that in this month, the two children of Old Man Han had changed completely. They were still as naughty as before, but they were much more sensible.

The old man just likes to be lively and does not find the chattering of the children around him noisy. Tong Jinguo played the victim and said that no one brought him food, so he asked Han Suiyi to go to the cafeteria, while he and Han Huaishan competed for food.

Seeing that everyone was having a good time in the ward, Su Ying asked her four children to stay with the old man in the ward in the afternoon while she went to the People's Hospital to see Lu Ming, who had been rescued from the human traffickers.

Gu Zhinan still felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was Han Jingchen's great-grandfather, not his.

He said, "Sister, I'll go with you."

Han Jingchen was unwilling to do so. "No, I've praised your Go skills to my great grandfather before. Come and play a game with my great grandfather to prove that I'm not bragging."

Su Ying knew why he was feeling awkward. He was afraid that the Gu family would feel embarrassed in the Han family.

She saw that Grandpa Han Jingyuan had the same attitude towards the children and did not seem displeased. The color of the old man's aura could not lie.

She said, "You stay and play chess with grandpa."

Gu Zhinan had no choice but to stay.

After Su Ying left, Han Jingchen put away the lunch boxes and put the chessboard on the table. Once Gu Zhinan devotes himself to something, he becomes very serious. He is a good chess player, and even Mr. Han has to concentrate on dealing with him.

Old Master Tong was not interested in Go, but was extremely curious about Han Jingchen's changes.

He asked, "Who did you learn cooking from?"

"Need I ask? Of course I learned it from my second aunt."

In just half a day, Tong Jinguo realized that these children were obedient to Comrade Xiao Su and did so willingly.

He asked again: "Why do you listen to your second aunt so much?"

Han Jingchen sighed, "She's really good. I can't beat her or compete with her. Great grandfather, you know she can climb trees? One time I made her angry, so I climbed up a tree. She was actually better at climbing trees than me. We were stuck on the treetop, and half of the aunts in the compound were standing under the tree watching us laugh."

"What happened next?" Tong Jinguo was very amused.

Han Jingchen thought about it and gloated, "Then my second uncle came and rolled up his sleeves to threaten us, so we both came down."

Han Huaishan laughed heartily, "Old Tong, the wife Jingyuan found himself is pretty good, isn't she?"

After laughing, I felt heavy in my heart. I hope this won't be a marriage by arrangement.

Su Ying took a car to the People's Hospital and happened to meet Xie Feicui who was taking her son for a check-up. Her mother-in-law was following them and didn't dare say a word when she saw Su Ying.

Xie Feicui is a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department of this hospital. When she heard that Su Ying wanted to see Xiao Luming, she handed her son to her mother-in-law and personally took Su Ying to the inpatient department.

"Captain Duan from the Municipal Bureau asked the child some questions before leaving. The child should be asleep by now."

There is also a young policeman in Lu Ming's ward, and there are people taking turns to watch over him 24 hours a day to prevent escaped human traffickers from attacking the child again.

Su Ying touched the child's forehead and found that the side effects of the medicine had almost subsided and the fever had gone away.

The nurse came to change the child's hospital gown. Su Ying saw that Xiao Luming had a birthmark on his chest that was shaped like a plum blossom, which was very special.

She remembered that her current body also had a special birthmark on the lower back.

Fortunately, this birthmark helped her clear herself of suspicion of being a spy.

After visiting Xiao Luming, Su Ying also wanted to go and see Su Congyan’s twin sister on behalf of Han Jingyuan.

Han Jingyuan said that he grew up with Su Congyan and Su Xinyi. Su Xinyi's IQ has always remained at the level of a few-year-old child, but every time Han Jingyuan came home, Su Xinyi would still drag them out to play together.

She can be considered as Han Jingyuan's sister.

A month ago, Su Xinyi slipped and rolled down the stairs and became a vegetable. He lives in this hospital.

Su Ying wanted to go and see if she could use her supernatural powers to help her wake up.

Su Ying told Xie Feicui that she wanted to see another patient. "Before coming here, my husband wanted me to help him see a friend who is also staying in your hospital. His name is Su Xinyi."

“She…”

It's a pity for Xie Feicui. It's no exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful. She is comparable to Su Ying. Su Ying is enchanting and charming, while Su Xinyi has another kind of beauty that is otherworldly.

Unfortunately, the girl only has the IQ of a child, and is now a vegetable. Her family members don’t give up, and it’s unknown whether she can wake up.

Xie Feicui brought Su Ying to the door of Su Xinyi's ward and saw a man standing inside. It was Duan Yu who came to interrogate Lu Ming for a confession.

Xie Feicui said to Su Ying, "That's Captain Duan, a friend of the Su family. Go in and take a look. It's okay."

Duan Yu took a close look at Han Jingyuan's new wife, and that familiar feeling came back.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said, "Hello, Comrade Su, I have some questions about human traffickers. Are you free now?"

Su Ying looked up and looked around the ward from left to right. There were the aura colors of four people in it. There were two kinds of energy fields in the bodies of Su Ying, Duan Yu, and the sick Su Xinyi.

She said absentmindedly, "I'm not free now."

Duan Fan was choked on what he was going to say next, so he had no choice but to ask, "Are you free after you finish seeing the patient?"

"It depends on my mood."

Su Ying walked to the bedside and held the hand of Su Xinyi, who looked pure and innocent as if she was asleep. After holding it for a while, she let go of her hand and took a few steps back.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Duan Yu pleaded again, "Comrade Su, can we talk outside?"

Su Ying glanced at him and said unkindly, "Look at my face, I'm obviously in a bad mood. Let's talk about it another day."

Duan Fan: ...

It was the first time he met Comrade Su Ying. Why was Comrade Su Ying so impatient with him?

He probably knew that he was Han Jingyuan's former brother-in-law, and his sister had gone to South Island to harass the young couple, so he was hostile to the Duan family.

This is normal, he can understand.

But the traffickers need to be caught, so he has to find Su Ying and ask some more detailed questions.

It doesn’t look possible today, let’s wait until tomorrow.

He had to go back to the bureau to work overtime at night. When he arrived at the gate of the municipal bureau, the guard on night shift handed him a letter. The postmark showed that it was sent from this area. No wonder it was delivered in one day.

He is the captain of the criminal investigation detachment and is used to receiving anonymous letters of complaint.

Back in the office, Duan Fan opened the envelope, and the secret inside made him frown.

Unexpectedly, one day, the report would be directed at his own family.

The letter said that Duan Chuxia was not his sister, and asked the Duan family not to cover for a fake.

Su Ying walked around the streets in the afternoon until nightfall, and it was very late when she came back in the evening.

Among the children, only Gu Zhinan was sitting on the sofa, reading a book under a desk lamp and waiting for her.

When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately put down the book in his hand, ran to open the door, and was relieved to see Su Ying was safe and sound.

Gu Zhinan kept comforting everyone, saying that his sister was going to take a look around the place where she used to live, and that his sister was so capable that she remembered the way home, so there was no need to worry.

In fact, he was worried to death.

"Sister, why did you just come back?"

Su Ying felt a little apologetic and comforted him, "I went to the place you told me where our family used to live."

He guessed it right. His sister really went to her previous residence. Gu Zhinan felt relieved.

"So what do you remember?"

Su Ying shook her head. "Although it's familiar, I still can't remember it."

Although it’s a bit of a pity, I’m glad that my sister comes back safely.

Han Jingchen came out of the room when he heard the sound. When he saw Su Ying, he felt relieved. His second uncle called his second aunt several times at night and was very worried.

He said, "Second Aunt, you didn't forget to talk to Second Uncle on the phone that evening, did you? He's still waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll call you guys now, go to bed."

Su Ying did not forget that when she went to visit Su Xinyi in the afternoon, she discovered that there were two auras in Su Xinyi's body.

One of them belongs to Su Xinyi herself. Although she has the IQ of a young child, her soul is the purest Su Ying has ever seen.

The color of the other spiritual aura is the same as the basic color of Duan Fan's aura in the ward. She is Duan Fan's biological sister and the original body of her current body.

Su Xinyi's mental strength was almost dissipated, and the original Su Ying was unwilling to occupy Su Xinyi's body. Instead, he used his own mental aura to maintain Su Xinyi's aura.

Neither of them was willing to occupy the body alone, causing the body to remain in a coma and unable to wake up.

But if they continue to push each other like this, the mental strength of both of them will disappear and that body will die.

When Su Ying held their hands, she could strongly feel that Su Xinyi's consciousness was begging Su Ying for help and to give her body to the other girl.

After she prayed, Su Xinyi's spiritual aura dissipated and her consciousness disappeared. That pure and kind girl willingly gave her body to the original Su Ying before she disappeared.

Su Ying used her special powers to temporarily calm the original body's mental power into her body. At the same time, she also gave the original body a chance to choose.

The body she is using now is her original body.

Whether the original body chooses to wake up in Su Xinyi's body or in her own body depends on what the original body thinks.

Knowing that her original body was still there, Su Ying couldn't pretend not to know. At least she could give the choice back to her original body.

Su Ying struggled when making this decision. She couldn't bear to leave this world, Han Jingyuan and her four children.

But in the end she did it anyway.

I felt relieved after making this decision.

The only pity is that the family that agreed to raise the child has just stabilized. If the original body chose her own body, then after she wakes up, she will probably make the same choice as Su Ying did and file for divorce from Han Jingyuan.

Thinking about it this way, Han Jingyuan is quite innocent, and the four children will also face separation.

Han Jingyuan might blame her for breaking her promise, but by then she would be gone and wouldn't care about what others thought.

If the original body chooses his own body, Su Ying will disappear.

Similarly, if the original body chose to wake up in Su Xinyi's body, she would never be able to return to her original body.

Although Su Ying wanted to live in this world, the condition was to steal other people's bodies and lives, which she was unwilling to do.

Let the original body choose.

Fortunately, Su Ying had only been with Han Jingyuan and the children for a month. She thought that even if her original self came back and chose to leave, Han Jingyuan and the children should be able to adapt quickly, right?

When she thought of this, the phone at home rang. Su Ying picked it up. It was Han Jingyuan calling.

"Su Ying?" Han Jingyuan intuitively knew that the person on the other end of the phone this time was Su Ying.

Su Ying quickly apologized, "I walked a long way to my old place today, and there were no buses at night, so I was late walking back. I'm sorry."

"Then what do you remember?"

"No, I don't remember anything, but I went to see Su Xinyi this afternoon."

Han Jingyuan also did something important today. He told Su Ying about Duan Chuxia's report.

"I've dealt with Duan Chuxia. Either she goes to jail or she admits she has a mental illness. I'm afraid the Duan family will be angry with you. You're in Beijing these few days, so try not to come into contact with the Duan family."

Su Ying really had to meet the Duan family. She was afraid that Han Jingyuan would object, so she said, "Duan Yan wants to ask me about the trafficking case, so we need to meet again."

"Okay, just talk about the case. If he talks about something else, you don't have to pay attention to him."

Su Ying heard Han Jingyuan's comrades on the other end of the phone laughing and scolding, "Han Jingyuan, can you make this call faster? We have wives too, and we are waiting for a call too."

Su Ying took the initiative to say: "The phone bill is quite expensive, I'm hanging up."

Han Jingyuan still had a lot to say, "It's so late, no one is waiting to make a phone call, and my comrades are just making a fuss."

"Um."

After chatting for a while, Su Ying was so immersed in the man's deep and pleasant voice that she couldn't help herself.

She suddenly said, "Han Jingyuan, I miss you a little."

Han Jingyuan felt his heart being struck hard, and his fingers holding the receiver turned white.

They had an agreement to raise a child; marriage was a necessary condition, not an emotional basis, and both knew it.

But Suying said she missed him, so does that mean...he could be thinking about things he shouldn't be thinking about?

Han Jingyuan pinched his comrade who refused to leave, and when he heard him begging for mercy and cursing in pain, he was sure that this was not a dream.

He trembled and said, "Well, then you should bring the children back early."

Han Jingyuan couldn't sleep because Su Ying said she missed him, which made his heart break into a ball.

Duan Yu also suffers from insomnia.

The letter was on his desk and he had read it a dozen times.

Duan Yu's mother had congenital heart disease, which is hereditary. He was born healthy, and his parents were very grateful and decided not to take the risk of having children.

He had always wanted a younger sister, and in his parents' generation, almost every family had several children. During an unexpected pregnancy, his mother decided to give birth to the child despite his father's opposition.

Duan Fan was particularly looking forward to the arrival of his younger sister. When his mother was giving birth, he stayed outside the delivery room. He took a look at the little sister who had just come out of the ward. She was small and wrinkled, and only breathing weakly.

When he came from home with fish soup, he found that the little sister in his mother's arms was different. Duan Fan cried and said that his sister was not like this, and this was not his sister.

His father dragged him out and beat him up, saying that all babies are born similar and look different every day. That was his sister.

Duan Yu was only five years old that year, and he believed what his father said.

As he got older, Duan Fan became more suspicious. He lived in the school dormitory since junior high school. After graduating from the police academy and being assigned a job, he moved directly into the company dormitory. Therefore, his relationship with Duan Chuxia was very distant over the years.

The warning letter in front of him aroused Duan Fan's suspicion again.

He analyzed that the person who wrote the letter should have a detailed understanding of the Duan family's situation, so he chose to send the letter to him.

If Duan Chuxia was not his sister, the only person who could replace the baby under his father's nose would be his father himself!

After coming to this conclusion, Duan Yu could no longer sit still and drove back to his parents' home.

Wen Xinzhu had been suffering from neurasthenia these days and couldn't sleep at night. When she saw her son coming back, she asked, "You came back so late because of your sister, right? At least you, as a brother, still have some conscience."

Wen Xinzhu went to visit her daughter in a mental hospital today. She kept crying and said she wanted to go home, but Han Jingyuan made a big deal out of it.

Han Jingyuan asked the organization to give his wife justice and not to wrongly investigate her for no reason.

Since it has been proven that Su Ying is not a spy, Duan Chuxia made the report under her real name, so she has to bear the consequences.

Wen Xinzhu insisted, "You can't admit that your sister is mentally ill. How can a divorced girl with mental illness find a good husband in the future?"

Duan Xuan was full of things on his mind and was in no mood to care about the mess Duan Chuxia had caused. Moreover, even if Duan Chuxia was his biological sister, he would not cover up for her mischief.

Duan Yu was annoyed, "If she doesn't admit that she is mentally ill, let her go to jail."

"She is your biological sister, how can you talk like that?" Wen Xinzhu angrily hit his son a few times.

Duan Yan said calmly: "Mom, if someone reports your son as a murderer and proves it is a false accusation, will you let it go?"

"Then I definitely can't let go of those who report it randomly."

Wen Xinzhu understood this principle, but when it came to her beloved daughter, she couldn't control herself.

She regretted so much now that she should not have agreed to the suggestion of Han Jingyuan's biological mother, who was reluctant to let her daughter go to the countryside, and hurriedly let her marry Han Jingyuan.

Who would have thought that the two of them would hide it from everyone and enter into a marriage of convenience as a way of silently rebelling.

It was an agreement. After the divorce, Xia Xia regretted it and blamed Han Jingyuan for remarrying so quickly.

Wen Xinzhu wanted to ask Han Jingyuan's new wife, "Then we should apologize to Su Ying and give her any compensation she wants. We can ask her to let Xia Xia go. Do you think it's okay?"

Duan Yu said, "Mom, you go to bed first. I'll talk to Dad about this."

In fact, what he wanted to discuss was another more serious issue.

Wen Xinzhu said hurriedly: "Okay, you and your dad go to the study, I won't disturb you."

Duan Huaijin suffered several heavy blows today. Old Man Han refused to give in, and Han Jingyuan was even more powerful. He was not afraid of making a big deal out of it and forced the Duan family to choose between the two.

When he entered the study, he was just about to ask his son what he thought.

"We still need to come up with a plan for your sister's matter. If we don't give the Han family an explanation this time, she might have to go to jail. Otherwise, we can tell everyone that she is mentally ill and bring her back first. What do you think?"

Duan Xuan was angry and had no intention of caring about Duan Chuxia who was locked up in the mental hospital.

He said, "Dad, your son is almost 30 this year, not a five-year-old child anymore. Tomorrow I will check whether Duan Chuxia is my sister. Even if she is, she must be punished for doing something wrong. I am a police officer, you don't expect me to bend the law for personal gain, right?"

Duan Jinguo looked at his son's determined eyes and it took him a long time to recover. "Why are you doubting your sister's background at this time?"

Duan Fan became even more certain that his suspicion more than 20 years ago was correct.

Duan Xuan took out the letter of denunciation, feeling heavy-hearted, "Dad, it's already this late, what do you think or should I check?"

Duan Jinguo was shocked when he saw the contents of the letter.

At that time, he exchanged the abandoned baby for his daughter who died young because he was afraid that his wife would not be able to accept it. Although several people involved in the matter promised to keep it confidential, his son is the captain of the criminal investigation team. If he investigates it seriously, he will be able to find out the truth soon.

He had been alone these years. On Duan Chuxia's birthday, he secretly went to visit his biological daughter's grave. The depression almost crushed him.

My son is grown up now, so there is no need to hide it anymore.

Duan Huaijin's wife had a difficult labor when giving birth to a daughter, and the baby died as soon as she left the delivery room.

He really loved his wife and was afraid that when she woke up and learned that the child was gone, she would have a heart attack and die.

"I was afraid of you. When mom woke up, she couldn't accept it. She happened to find an abandoned baby in the hospital, so she brought him back and said he was your sister."

"That abandoned baby was Xia Xia. She was also very thin when she was picked up. All newborn babies look the same, but this baby was very healthy after a preliminary examination. Your mother was very lucky at the time and said that she didn't inherit her heart disease."

Duan Yu, who learned the truth about the replacement, felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Were you sure that my sister was no longer breathing?"

Duan Huaijin felt increasingly uncomfortable being questioned by his son.

He couldn't leave at that time because his son was crying and the mother's condition was getting worse. Otherwise, he would have buried his daughter with his own hands.

"That's my biological daughter. I'm not sure how I dare let the nanny take her away."

Duan Yan stressed anxiously, "Are you sure you gave first aid? There are miracles of resuscitation even when breathing stops for a few minutes. Han Jingyuan's wife was buried in the ground, but she woke up. Did you give my sister first aid?"

Duan Huaijin was a little flustered. "I took the child to the doctor, and he said he had no heartbeat or breathing, so I asked the nanny to take him away. I..."

Duan Yan asked in a deep voice: "Where did you bury your sister?"

"What do you want to do?" Duan Huaijin seemed to guess what his son was going to do and asked in a trembling voice.

Duan Fan didn't say anything. He always felt that his sister was not dead, so he wanted to dig up the grave himself and take a look.

In the middle of the night, the father and son went to a cemetery in the suburbs. More than 20 years ago, when the country was just liberated, cremation had not yet been promoted, so burials were the norm.

Duan Fan followed his father to a small cemetery without even a tombstone.

After confirming the cemetery, Duan Yu started digging with a shovel.

He wanted to see if there were any human remains in here. If not, then his sister might not be dead. Even if there were human remains, he knew that DNA testing was now possible abroad, so he would do a test when conditions allowed.

The small grave that Duan Huaijin had worshipped alone for more than 20 years was dug up, and his heart was bleeding.

The small coffin inside was just a square box made of very thin wooden boards. It had long since rotted and broken into pieces. Among the broken wood pieces were only broken and rotten pieces of small clothes, but no baby's bones.

Duan Huaijin couldn't stand steadily, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

The father and son sat beside the grave until dawn. When the sun came out, their clothes were wet with dew.

Duan Huaijin's eyes were blinded by the sunlight, and he regained some of his senses. He wanted to go back immediately to question the nanny at home.

Since it is an empty tomb, where did his daughter go?

"If your sister was taken away and not dead, then why didn't the nanny tell me and set up a fake grave to deceive me? No, I have to go back and ask."

Duan Fan regained his senses long ago and prepared for the worst.

"Dad, you know there's a kind of cuckoo that will fly into other birds' nests, push out other birds' eggs, and then lay its own eggs, letting other birds help raise its children. Our family may have encountered the same thing. You should calm down first and don't alert the enemy."

"I want to find out for myself what happened to my sister after she was taken away. I want to get her back."

He refilled the grave and returned to his unit to ask for leave from his director, saying that he had some personal matters to attend to at home.

However, the director did not grant him leave, but instead told him a difficult case with a headache.

"The human trafficker who escaped from the train last time turned back and hid in Beijing, and kidnapped the son of Comrade Sheng who was about to be discharged from the army and transferred to our bureau."

The director pressed his temples, the pain in his head was unbearable, and he had to take two painkillers to relieve the pain.

"Not only did she kidnap the child, she also left a letter to provoke the police, saying that if the case was not solved within three days, she would sell the child to the mountains where no one could find her."

Duan Yan was shocked, "Is he the son of Sheng Jianye who was in the same carriage with the traffickers?"

"Yes, early this morning, the child's grandmother took Sheng Qinghe out to buy breakfast. The next moment, the child disappeared. Then, the letter was found under the shoe cabinet at the door of her house."

The director handed the letter that challenged the police to Duan Yu and said, "The letter should have been placed last night. The traffickers had observed that the child's grandmother would take the child out to buy breakfast in the morning, so they planned to kidnap the child early in the morning. That's why they placed the letter in advance. It's too arrogant."

Duan Fan had arrested many human traffickers personally, but this was the first time he had seen anyone dare to challenge the police.

He couldn't figure out what the mentality of the woman surnamed Hua was.

But time waits for no one. The traffickers said it would take three days. Who knows if it is a means to paralyze the police. The case must be solved immediately.

Duan Fan could only put the investigation of his sister aside for the time being.

In addition to questioning the family of the person involved, he also had to find Su Ying to get more information about the situation.

Su Ying was melancholy for a while last night, but she was fully revived early in the morning.

Anyway, every day you spend in this world is earned, so you should be happy.

And this time she had the opportunity to come to the capital, so she sent her four children to the hospital and told Grandpa Han Jingyuan that she wanted to go out for a walk. Her reason was to look at the familiar streets and see if she could recall anything.

In fact, she just wanted to be alone and see more of the world.

She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to see it again.

The old man agreed happily on the surface, but he was worried in his heart. What if his grandson's wife thought of the past and remembered the good things about her ex-husband? What would happen to his grandson then?

The old man said nonchalantly: "Come back early in the evening. These children won't go to bed until you come back."

Su Ying would definitely not stay up so late today, so she agreed, "I'll be back in the afternoon."

Today she was on her own and after hearing people say the Great Wall was spectacular, she went to climb a section of it.

It was already past one o'clock when she returned to the city. She was very hungry. Now she was not stingy, so she ran to the state-owned restaurant and ordered a hearty lunch for three dollars.

Su Ying's generosity made the waiters roll their eyes at her, thinking that this woman did not know how to live and only cared about her own enjoyment.

Su Ying didn't care about so many things. Every day now was stolen and she had to enjoy it while she could.

It was actually not dinner time, and there were only two tables of guests in the state-owned restaurant. One table was for Su Ying, who had just ordered her food, and the other table was for two women.

One of his arms had a plaster bandage on it, so he could only use his left hand to pick up food, which made eating very inconvenient.

The two women didn't leave after eating and continued chatting.

The woman with her arm in a cast was in her forties. She was the one being treated to dinner today, so she was quite proud of it.

She said, "My employer's family is very easy to talk to, except for their little daughter who is a bit difficult to deal with. But she has been sent to a mental hospital, so you won't be able to see her during the few days you're covering for me."

The woman who covered for her was called Xia Lianfang. She inquired, "Does the Duan family just ignore their daughter and let her stay in the mental hospital?"

Qi Hongyu said, "After getting divorced, she still went to cause trouble for her ex-husband's new wife. How despicable. Now the Han family has given her a condition. If she admits that she is mentally ill, they can take her back. Otherwise, she will have to wait for jail time. I think she should be put in jail to learn her lesson, so that she won't continue to annoy people when she comes out."

Xia Lianfang couldn't bear it. "The little girl made a mistake because she was too depressed. She should be given a chance to correct it. Otherwise, she will be too pitiful."

Qi Hongyu smiled and said, "You are just too kind-hearted. No matter what, it is not our turn as a nanny to feel pity. Come early in the evening and try your cooking skills for the employer's family. If they are satisfied, you can help me take over the shift, and the salary during the shift will belong to you."

"Thank you, Sister Hong. You are the best to me among all the sisters."

"Well, we are all babysitters, so it's only natural for us to help each other. By the way, did you find any clues about your son during your trip?"

Xia Lianfang shook her head. "I'm afraid I won't be able to find one. I've given up. After I finish helping you, I'll find a long-term employer. It would be best if I can work for you until you retire."

Qi Hongyu nodded repeatedly, "You finally figured it out. You can do the same as me and adopt a little girl from the countryside with no family background as your goddaughter. With the help of the employer's family, she will definitely be filial to you and take care of you in your old age. She is better than having a son."

Xia Lianfang enviously said, "It's too late for me to adopt him now. Why hasn't your goddaughter found a partner yet? She's already 24, right? She's not still thinking about your employer's son, is she? I don't think they'll get divorced, so tell her to stop thinking about him."

Qi Hongyu sighed, "I've tried to persuade her, but she won't listen. Duan Yan is almost 30 years old, and his wife still can't get pregnant. The Duan family can't be extinct. I think they'll get divorced sooner or later because of having no children. Let's wait another year or two and see."

The two of them left after talking.

The food on Su Ying's table was served, but she didn't have time to eat and decided to chase after him.

The waiter grabbed Su Ying and asked, "Where are you going?"

Su Ying was a little anxious, "I paid for the ticket."

The waiter stamped his feet and said, "I know you paid. You ordered a three-dollar meal. You have to pack it up even if you don't want to eat it."

Su Ying said, "I suddenly remembered something urgent and I don't have time to pack it. Can you keep it for me and I'll pick it up later?"

After saying that, she ran away, and the waiter behind her scolded her for being a wasteful woman.

Su Ying was heartbroken, her braised pork and steamed fish were gone. Fortunately, the two nannies had just walked to the intersection and then separated at the intersection, one on the left and one on the right.

Su Ying did not hesitate at all. She turned left at the intersection and continued to follow the nanny named Xia Lianfang to where she lived, which was a large courtyard where seven or eight households were crowded together.
