Jiang Suinsui felt a little sad after listening to Song Rulan's past. One can imagine how confused and helpless a woman with no memory and pregnant must have felt at that time.

She recalled the plot about Song Rulan in the original novel and found that there was very little. But the heroine mentioned that in her memory, Song Rulan died very early, probably in the past one or two years, and the cause of death seemed not very glorious to outsiders. After Song Rulan's death, the brother and sister Song Weizheng and Song Yuxue fell into complete silence, and later left Dayan Village at some point in time, and no news was heard from them.

The next time the heroine heard about them in her previous life was Zhao Ruyan, who later changed her name and became a movie star, and Song Weizheng, who grew up to be a business tycoon.

When Jiang Suinsui thought of this, her heart tightened. She simply couldn't imagine how sad the brother and sister would be after losing their mother.

She frowned and tried hard to recall the few words about Song Rulan mentioned in the original book, but there was too little information to find the time of her death.

Jiang Suinsui took this matter to heart and decided to find an opportunity to talk to Jiang Miaomiao about it when she returned.

"Sui Sui..." Seeing that she was silent for a while, Song Rulan showed some worry on her face. "These things of mine don't sound very glorious, and there are rumors from time to time. If you can't accept it, it's normal. But A Zheng is a good child. I hope you don't have prejudice against him because of this. Besides, the fact that he is not Da Shun's child is only known to our family. Even other members of the Song family don't know."

She held Jiang Suunshun's hand and pleaded, "If you can't accept what I'm doing, then I can stay away from you. As long as Zheng and you live well, that's all."

"Auntie Lan, I didn't..." Jiang Suishun was about to explain when she heard Song Weizheng's voice coming from behind her.

"Mom, you don't have to do this."

Jiang Suisui turned around and saw Song Weizheng leaning against the door frame. She didn't know when he came out of the kitchen, nor how long he had been listening there.

Song Rulan shook her head: "A family should be honest. If you really want to get married, Sui Sui has the right to know these things. And Xiao Xue is growing up, it's time to tell her some things."

Song Yuxue blinked her tearful eyes and looked at her mother and brother.

Jiang Suisui quickly said, "Auntie Lan, actually I want to say that these things are nothing to me, I don't mind."

Song Rulan smiled with relief and said, "I knew you were a considerate and good child. It's a blessing for Zheng to meet you."

"Auntie Lan, don't dwell on the past. You have to look forward to the future." Jiang Suisui comforted her, "Life will get better and better in the future. When I have the chance to go to the city, I will help you find your family!"

Song Rulan shook her head and chuckled, "I have lived here for twenty years, and half of my life is almost over. It is luck that I can find it, and I won't force it if I can't. I am already satisfied to have these two children in this life."

Jiang Suunsun nodded: "It's good that you think so!"

After lunch that day, Song Wei Zheng sent Jiang Suinsui home.

On the way, Jiang Suisui asked, "How is Aunt Lan doing lately? I saw that she looked a little pale today, and she didn't seem to be in good spirits."

Song Weizheng: "In fact, I have been fine recently, but I am weak after all, and I can't stand the cold weather."

Jiang Suisui nodded: "That's good. However, you should still pay more attention, and ask Aunt Lan to be careful and take care of herself. If anything happens, you can ask Xiaoxue to come to me."

"What's wrong?" Song Weizheng felt a little strange, "Why do you suddenly say that?"

Jiang Suinsui pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's nothing. I just felt that Aunt Lan was not in good health and needed to be taken care of more."

Song Weizheng did not doubt him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you then."

"What are you thanking me for? It's nothing." Jiang Suisui waved her hands and said, "Okay, we're home. I feel so embarrassed to have you send me home every time when it's so close."

Song Weizheng looked at her and smiled: "Can't you see it?"

"What?"

Song Wei Zheng: "This is not a gift, it's just to spend more time alone with you."

Wha-w-w-what?!

Jiang Suunshun's cheeks suddenly turned red: "You...I..."

Seeing that she was speechless, Song Weizheng lowered his head and chuckled, then said, "Okay, you go in, I'm back, go to bed early."

After saying this, he turned around, waved goodbye with a happy smile on his face.

In the beginning, he was just following Song Rulan's instructions, but later on... Song Weizheng also started to think more about it.

Every moment walking on the road with her seemed so relaxing and pleasant. He began to cherish and enjoy such moments unconsciously, and looked forward to the next time...

Jiang Suinsui returned home, covering her blushing face, and fell on the bed, screaming silently: Damn it! He teased me again!

Jiang Suinsui was feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and her feet started to flutter in excitement. She was just seen by Grandma Jiang who walked in.

Grandma Jiang asked curiously, "What are you doing? Why do you look like you've gone mad?"

Jiang Suisui quickly stood up: "Grandma! I'm fine..."

"I know you're fine," said Grandma Jiang. "I have something to do. I'll go to the town in two days. Do you want to come with me? The New Year is coming soon. We need some food and oil. I'll buy you some cloth to make new clothes."

"Okay!" Jiang Suishun perked up when she heard that they had to hurry up. "But you don't have to make new clothes for me. I still have a few sets of clothes. You can make them with Grandpa."

Grandma Jiang: "We are so old, why do we need to wear new clothes? It's enough to wear something new. You are a grown-up girl, and you are engaged, so you should wear something brighter. By the way, is Xiao Song going this time?"

Jiang Suisui thought for a moment and said, "I think I will go."

Grandma Jiang: "Then let him take you there. I won't go. I told you what I want to buy. You buy it for me. And you can come and see how he performs."

Jiang Suishun was puzzled: "What performance?"

"Tsk!" Grandma Jiang looked disappointed. "You are his partner, he should at least show some appreciation for you!"

Jiang Suinsui suddenly realized that the purpose was to let her see whether the partner was generous to her or not!

She smiled awkwardly and nodded, feeling a little guilty. She had just asked Song Wei Zheng to postpone the marriage, which was like rejecting him in disguise. How could she have the nerve to really use him as an object?

town hospital.

Jiang Mingde was in the ward, pointing at a group of people in front of him and yelling, his voice so loud that the entire corridor could hear it clearly.

Jiang Mingde: "I told you not to stop working! Who told you to stop?! You don't want to do it anymore, right?!"

Chen Zhenghua, the leader of the exploration team, explained: "Director Jiang, we also want to continue working, but the conditions do not allow it! Recently, there has been snow every day in Dayan Village, and the rocks have been completely frozen. Our machines are not very sensitive. Moreover, the villagers have to prepare for the New Year and cannot help us all the time. Most of our current staff are technical personnel, and they really can't hold on!"

Jiang Mingde waved his hand and said, "I said I don't care about these things! Do you think I'm easy to fool just because I'm lying on the hospital bed?!"

"I'm telling you!" He pointed his finger at everyone, and the members of the exploration team lowered their heads. "I'm going to report you! I will definitely report your negative and uncooperative work attitude! Then I'll withdraw all of you, so you won't have anywhere to cry! No! I should send all of you to the village, and see if you dare not work!"

Chen Zhenghua said anxiously: "Director Jiang! You can't do this. We were given eight months for this exploration mission. Why do you have to shorten it by half? Moreover, this mission is our preliminary research and preparation. We have been stationed here for more than a month. We can't just withdraw!"

The other team members also pleaded for mercy, but Jiang Mingde was still unsympathetic and said, "If you don't suffer a little, you won't learn your lesson. Get out of here, do whatever you want, and don't disturb me while I'm recuperating. Get out of here!"

Chen Zhenghua was silent for a moment, then he clenched his palms, lowered his head, turned around and slowly left the ward.

When the other team members saw him leaving, they followed him.

Jiang Mingde groaned in dissatisfaction in the ward: "What a bunch of disobedient fools! If I hadn't gotten the antique yet, I would have gone back to report it now!"

Several members of the exploration team walked out of the hospital, looking very confused.

One of the team members asked, "Brother Chen, what should we do?"

"Yeah, Director Jiang won't do this for real, right? If he does report it, he will definitely exaggerate and discredit us."

"I've never been so angry before. The deadline was enough, but he insisted on finishing it earlier!"

"Isn't it all for his own good? If he can complete the task earlier, he can brag more about his contribution!"

"I really can't understand why he was appointed as the director. He has no technical knowledge at all, he can only give orders blindly, and he doesn't allow others to refute him! We haven't completed any projects in the past three years, and most of it is because of his mess!"

"Well, originally we were going to transfer Professor Liang from Peking University to be our director. He is a very professional and responsible person, but in the end..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's fate and timing. It's our bad luck to meet someone like Jiang Mingde."

"So what do we do now? Go back up the mountain and continue?"

After listening to the team members' complaints, Chen Zhenghua let out a breath and said, "Go back first. Let me think about it."

All members of the exploration team followed him in their lead, nodded in agreement, and returned to the village to await further instructions.

Jiang Suinsui went to see Jiang Miaomiao the next day.

When Zhang Cuihua saw her coming, she looked surprised and said, "Hey, Sui Sui, it's rare for you to come visit me!"

Jiang Suisui smiled shyly: "Third Aunt, I'm looking for Sister Miaomiao, is she here?"

Zhang Cuihua suddenly looked disgusted when she heard this: "She's here, why isn't she here? It's almost noon now and she's still sleeping like a pig! Oh, I'm so miserable, how could I give birth to such a useless child? She used to be pretty, but now I don't know if she's been possessed by evil spirits or what, she just won't work and won't listen to me! Tell me, what can I do now!"

Zhang Cuihua suddenly started complaining, and Jiang Suinsui felt a little embarrassed. She quickly said, "Sister Miaomiao is in the room. I'll go to her room to find her. Thank you, thank you!"
