Chapter 581: Can ‘t Abandon
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Little Aunt will be in the Province for a very long time. I can’t say goodbye to her, but I want to say goodbye to Aunt Su Wen before I leave.”
“But you’ve been waiting for her for two days. She won’t come. If she would be here, she would have come a long time ago,” Song Jingxian had to be cruel.
She had already asked the middleman. Xiao Ya had no connections at home. She did not have enough food and clothing. No one would notice if she did not go home. Not to mention that someone would actually come over to look for her. This silly child, why was she so stubborn?
If someone really cared about her, they wouldn’t have sold her.
Song Jingxian felt disgusted at the thought of Li Caihua and Wang Yongmei. Fortunately, Xiaoya had become her child and she would take good care of her. Even when she returned to the Capital and her status in the family was not too high, she would still risk her life to protect Xiaoya.
“Aunt Su Wen is looking for me. She needs time.” Xiaoya said stubbornly.
“But we’ve bought our tickets. If we delay any longer, we’ll miss the train.” Song Jingxian looked at her watch and said, “Xiaoya, we can’t delay any longer. Can you come with me?”
Ahh… Sobs…” Xiao Ya finally burst into tears. Song Jingxian carried her into the car as she looked in the direction of the Trinity village reluctantly. She desperately told herself that Aunt Su Wen was delayed, she was definitely coming to see her.
Perhaps Su Wen had not returned from the Province yet!
That’s right! That must be the case.
If even Aunt Su Wen did not care about her…
Xiaoya couldn’t stop crying at the thought of that.
By the time Su Wen and Su Xueyong found the address, it was already empty. There was no one at the address.
Su Xueyong, who had a quiet personality was so angry that he cursed.
“We were deceived by Li Caihua. No, I have to go back and settle the score with
her. ”
“Wait a minute.” Su Wen recalled that Li Caihua’s notebook was old. It was obvious that it had been used for many years. There were many records on it, and Xiaoya’s record was the latest.
It shouldn’t be a lie. “I’ll go next door and ask.”
“Alright.”
The two of them went to search separately. Fortunately, they were old neighbors who had lived here for decades. They were very helpful and simple. Su Wen asked around and got the answer.
“Did you mean Song Jingxian who lives next door? Oh! I know, she went back to the Capital.”
“The Capital?” Su Wen could not help but facepalm. It was too far!
Li Caihua was really capable. Her business scope was wider than she had imagined.
Do you know when did she leave?”
“Just now. About an hour ago.”
“Did she bring a child?” Su Wen gestured. “A little girl, about six or seven years old. She looks very smart.”
“Yes, yes. I just don’t know where she came from. Song Jingxian rarely deals with us, so we didn’t ask her.”
Su Wen heaved a sigh of relief when her doubts were confirmed. She bid farewell to the neighbor, greeted Su Xueyong, and rushed to the train station.
The train was the most convenient way to go to the Capital from Clear Water County. The trains in the 1980s were different from now where there would be a train every ten minutes. The interval between each train was longer. If she went there quickly, she should be able to catch up.

Su Wen pedaled her bicycle very fast. When she arrived at the train station, she found a train attendant and asked him about the number of train to the Capital. Then, she spent twenty cents to buy a free platform ticket. As she walked through the crowd, Su Wen’s originally anxious mood miraculously calmed down.
Perhaps this was fate.
She would try her best to find Su Xiaoya. Even if there was a slight chance, she could not abandon Su Xiaoya coldly like others.
It would be answering to her Little sister and her conscience. She didn’t want to regret and have nightmares.
Now that she had done her best, her anxious heart calmed down..
Chapter 582: Aunt Su Wen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Aunt Su Wen, Aunt Su Wen…” Just as Su Wen was searching through the carriages, Xiaoya’s surprised voice came from behind her. “Aunt Su Wen, I’m here, I’m here!”
Su Wen turned around in surprise. Xiaoya was wearing a beautiful dress, waving happily at her and giggling. Seeing Su Wen turn around, Xiaoya quickly rushed over. Su Wen quickly squatted down and hugged Xiaoya.
“Are you that happy to see Aunt Su Wen? I’ve never seen you hug me before,” Su Wen teased.
Xiaoya was embarrassed by Su Wen’s teasing. “That’s because I miss Aunt Su Wen!”
“I missed you too.” Su Wen pinched Xiaoya’s nose affectionately. “Can you go home with Aunt Su Wen?”
Song Jingxian who was following behind was shocked. She was afraid that
Xiaoya would leave her. She could tell that Aunt Su Wen must have cared about Xiaoya a lot since she had gone through so much trouble to find her. Judging from her attire, aura, and manner of speech, she looked very extraordinary.
She must have the financial ability to take care of Xiaoya.
“Xiaoya!” Song Jingxian shouted anxiously.
Only then did Su Wen notice Song Jingxian who was standing not far away. Su Wen looked up and sized her up. The woman in front of her was about 30 years old. She had a gentle temperament and a beautiful face. It was obvious that she came from a rich family. There was no man by her side which meant that her husband was not around. It was either because he was out of town for work or because she was not on good terms with him.
Song Jingxian was infertile, but she had tried her best to adopt a child. From this, one could guess her family relationship.
In this era, if a woman could not give birth to a child, it did not matter if her husband would speak up for her. Even her in-laws and sisters-in-law wouldn’t be nice to her.
“Hello, I’m Su Wen, Xiaoya’s aunt.” Su Wen stood up and greeted Song Jingxian.
“I’m Song Jingxian, Xiaoya’s mother now.” Song Jingxian forced a smile and looked at Xiaoya worriedly, afraid that Xiaoya would change her mind.
Su Wen understood what Song Jingxian meant. She was declaring her ownership! However, she didn’t want to argue about it. Instead, she was very grateful to Song Jingxian. This was already much better than she had expected. Xiaoya’s luck was better than the other children who had been given away.
It was not easy to meet a kind adoptive person, and it was better than being kidnapped.
“Xiaoya.” Su Wen squatted down and looked into Xiaoya’s eyes, letting her see her seriousness and seriousness.” You’re a smart and good girl, much smarter than Little Aunt. I want to know your choice. Are you willing to go home with
“I…” Su Xiaoya was in a dilemma. She turned to look at Song Jingxian who was reluctant to leave, and then at Su Wen.
Su Wen knew what she was hesitating about. This girl was so sensible. It could be seen from how capable she was while she was being sandwiched between Little sister and Sixth sister.
“Don’t worry about the money.”

“But that’s a lot of money.” Xiaoya already knew that her new mother had given her stepmother a lot of money. Otherwise, her stepmother would not have been so active to send her out.
“Believe me, you are countless times more precious than that money.” Su Wen caressed Xiaoya’s cheek to comfort her. “Are you willing to go back with me? I’ll take care of you.”
Xiaoya was tempted.
Everyone could tell, including Song Jingxian.
“Xiaoya!” Song Jingxian’s tears rolled down her cheeks. She reached out her hand to grab Xiaoya who could easily grab her hand..
Chapter 583: Xiaoya’s Choice
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Xiaoya, Mother needs you. We’ve agreed that we won’t be separated for the rest of our lives. We’ll be a family from now on. Have you forgotten?” Su Wen frowned slightly, feeling like she was Cinderella’s stepmother. She remained silent, giving Xiaoya and Song Jingxian time to talk. Previously, she did not care enough about Xiaoya. When Xiaoya’s father and stepmother were around, it was inconvenient for her to barge into Xiaoya’s life.
If Song Jingxian really cared about Xiaoya and gave her motherly love, she would support her even though she was reluctant to part with Xiaoya.
It all depended on Xiaoya’s choice.
Xiaoya was very conflicted, but she was very happy. She had never been so happy before.
After she was sold by her stepmother, people still cared about her and looked for her whereabouts. She wasn’t the wretched girl that her stepmother mentioned, someone who would die without anyone knowing. She felt very satisfied and proud.
As she thought about it, Xiaoya laughed.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and grinned at Su Wen.
Su Wen looked at her smile and knew this sensible little girl had made her choice.
“Aunt Su Wen, I can’t leave my new mother behind. It’s not easy for me to have a mother. I’ll take care of her for the rest of my life.”
Xiaoya’s words made Song Jingxian burst into tears. She stepped forward and hugged Xiaoya, crying and laughing at the same time. “My dear daughter, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. If you don’t leave me, I won’t leave you.”
“Okay!” Su Wen’s eyes reddened as well. “Now that you have a new mother, you can’t forget about Aunt Su Wen, okay? Don’t forget you have a good partner, Little Aunt! ”
“Yes!” Xiaoya nodded heavily. When I grow up, I’ll come back to look for Little Aunt and tell her to wait for me.”
“Good!” Su Wen suddenly remembered something and took out a big bag of candy, chocolate, and other snacks from her bag. “Little Aunt asked me to bring these back for you. She also asked me to tell you that she knows a big fool called Zhou Hengguang in the Province. She will get a lot of delicious food from that big fool for you in the future.”
Su Wen felt speechless at the thought of Little sister’s words.
Xiaoya happily accepted the gift.
Su Wen asked Song Jingxian for her address and phone number in the Capital. She jotted them down carefully. To avoid any misunderstanding, she explained to Song Jingxian that she was supportive of her becoming Xiaoya’s mother. However, she did not want to cut off contact with Xiaoya.
She would not interfere with Xiaoya’s new family.
Song Jingxian liked Su Wen’s attitude and her concern for Xiaoya very much.
When the train left, Song Jingxian hurriedly got on the train with Xiaoya, and Su Wen chased after her for a long time.
Xiaoya only realized that Su Wen had secretly stuffed an exquisite wallet into her pocket when she could no longer see her on the platform. It was full of money. There were five-cent coins, ten-yuan coins, five-yuan coins, one-yuan coins…lt was obvious that it was Su Wen’s wallet, and she gave it to Xiaoya in a hurry.
“Your aunt is very good. Remember to write to your aunt when we get to the Capital,” encouraged Song Jingxian.
“Thank you, Mother.”
“I should be the one thanking her.”

On the way back to Trinity Village, Su Xueyong couldn’t help but ask Su Wen,
“Why do you want to find Xiaoya even if you have to offend someone?”
“Because I can’t let Xiaoya be abandoned quietly.”
Su Wen recalled the despair of Little sister being sold in the novel, and a hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes.
“Think about it. If you were secretly sold and your relatives were indifferent about it. No one cared about you at all. How pitiful was that….”
Chapter 584: Lin Weiguo’s Letter
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Her voice was so low that Su Xueyong couldn’t hear her, but it still gave him a huge shock.
The two of them returned to the Trinity village and didn’t speak on the way.
Su Wen went home directly. Su Xueyong reported the situation to Third grandma and told her what Su Wen had said on the way back. Third grandma was silent for a long time after hearing it. Her usually energetic appearance became dispirited.
She muttered, “Even an outsider can do it, but our people are heartless…”
As soon as Su Wen entered the house, she saw Su Qing holding a letter in her hand and reading it. She smiled so much that her eyes were about to turn into crescent moons.
“What are you looking at so happily?” Su Wen slapped Su Qing from behind.
Fortunately, Su Qing had already seen her Big sister come in and was not scared. This made Su Wen very disappointed.
“I’m reading a letter from my classmate.” Su Qing had dropped out of school for several years, but no one had ever contacted her. This was the first time she received a letter from a classmate, which made her especially happy.
“Not bad!” Su Wen was also delighted that Su Qing had her classmates and social circle. “Since your classmate took the initiative to write to you, don’t be too cold. Get along well with them. If they are fine with it, you can invite them to our house.”
Yes!” Su Qing’s eyes sparkled with joy as she agreed. This was the first classmate to contact her. For Su Qin,g who had never had a classmate, she naturally cherished it.
After agreeing, Su Qing looked at the vigorous and powerful handwriting on the letter and secretly praised in her heart that among her primary school classmates, there was someone who wrote so beautifully!
Truly admirable.
Just this good calligraphy would give people a good impression at first glance.
“Male or female? What did that person say?” Su Wen was curious and peeked over. Initially, she only wanted to take a glance, but Su Qing () did not stop her from looking. In the end, Su Wen saw the words written on it.
“Su Qing, I always remember the help you gave me back then. I’m thrilled to be able to find you…”
Su Wen didn’t read the rest. She wasn’t so nosy as to read her sister’s letter.
“It’s a male classmate. His name is Lin Weiguo.” Su Qing carefully folded the letter and put it into the envelope. “That’s strange. Why can’t I remember the person in class called Lin Weiguo?” She asked in confusion.
She had racked her brains for a long time, but she could not match anyone’s face. However, this letter was very sincere. It must be her classmate.
Su Qing would never have thought someone would impersonate her classmate and write to her.
Su Wen sneered.” It’s not strange that you can’t remember. How many people in this era are called Weiguo and Jianguo? There are already a few in our village.”

“That’s true.” Su Qing laughed.
“Write back to him!” Su Wen urged.
“I… My handwriting is ugly,” Su Qing’s face flushed red, and she said embarrassedly. She was initially very confident in her handwriting. In the past, her writing was the best in the class. That was why she was surprised that another person with better handwriting had appeared in the class.
Compared to Lin Weiguo’s handwriting, her handwriting was ugly.
“How could that be?” Su Wen’s expression was exaggerated as she encouraged her.” Your handwriting is already very good. None of us sisters’ writing isn’t good. They’re clearly beautiful.” Because of Su Xuewen’s tutor, the older members of the Su family all had good handwriting..
Chapter 585: The Wallet Was Given
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When they were young, they practiced writing stroke by stroke.
One’s handwriting would reflect one’s character. If one’s writing were ugly, they would be laughed at.
Su Xuewen naturally couldn’t let his daughters be laughed at, so Su Qing’s handwriting was really good, even better than the original character’s.
“Don’t compare yourself to men. Men have more strength, so their handwriting is more vigorous and free.” Su Wen stole a glance at that man’s handwriting and admired it. “I still have the envelope and stamps I bought last time. Take them.”
“Alright then. ”
Su Qing agreed and took the envelope and stamps back to her room to sit in front of the small desk. For a moment, she was nervous and didn’t know what to write. It had been a long time since she had contacted her classmates. She had never interacted with boys in school because of her shy personality.
Because of her grades and looks, most girls didn’t like her. They were even hostile to her. Su Qing also tried her best to resolve this hostility, but because of her Big sister’s existence, she could not resolve it.
Because she was Su Wen’s sister and Su Wen was the public enemy of all the girls in the school.
This caused Su Qing to be very lonely when she was a student. She longed to have classmates who could play well. But, unfortunately, she didn’t have any. It was only slightly better after she dropped out of school to learn sewing. However, those who learned sewing with her were only acquaintances and would even laugh at her behind her back.
Su Qing knew it well.
She had always tried her best to act like she didn’t care. After being taught by her Big sister for so long, her personality had changed a lot. She was no longer shy and didn’t dare to talk to male students.
Su Qing took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She took out the letter from Lin Weiguo again.
On it was written, [Miss Su Qing, I haven’t seen you for a long time. It’s been many years. I wonder if you’re well.]
An old classmate was greeting her.
Su Qing couldn’t help but laugh. She felt that this classmate was a good person. At least it proved that her student days weren’t that bad. At least she had a classmate who recognized her.
After thinking it through, Su Qing finally began to write. The high-quality pen that her Big sister bought made her handwriting smoother and more beautiful. Her words were as elegant and clean as her person.
Su Qing wrote an intermittent reply letter to Lin Weiguo, telling him she was doing well and thanking him for his concern. She also wished Lin Weiguo, who was far away, all the best. After she finished writing, she felt everything was fine, so she happily stuck the envelope and stamped it. When the postman came to the village tomorrow, she would send it away.
Su Oing returned to her room to write a letter. In the main hall. everyone
surrounded Su Wen and asked her about her search for Xiaoya.
When Su Wen finished her story, the sisters’ eyes turned red.
“When I get to the Capital, I’ll go look for Xiaoya,” said Fifth Sister after a while.
“Alright, I’ll give you the address.” Su Wen quickly copied down the address and handed it to Fifth sister, asking her to keep it.
“Xiaoya is such a pitiful child.”
“Wang Yongmei is too despicable.”
“By the way, what did you do with Li Caihua? This kind of person should be arrested. ”
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
At the mention of Li Caihua, Su Wen shook her head in disappointment. “Li Caihua is different from Shi Caiyue. It’s not easy for us to control her.” In other words, she was not going to care about it anymore.
The nature of Li Caihua’s matter was different from Shi Caiyue’s. Both parties were willing. Moreover, Xiaoya had indeed found a good family because of Li Caihua. Just based on this point, Su Wen decided to let go.
“Sigh!”
Everyone in the hall sighed.
Su Xue suddenly asked, “Big sister, you gave your wallet to Xiaoya? The whole wallet?”
Chapter 586: The Photo Is Gone
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“That’s right!” Su Wen replied. When she saw Su Xue’s expression, she suddenly realized she had made a mistake. “I’m doomed! There’s a photo of your brother-in-law in the wallet.”
If Zhou Hengyang knew that she had given his photo to someone else, he would be furious. She was doomed!
She was in trouble.
The sisters immediately looked at Su Wen sympathetically. After spending more time with her, the sisters could see that Big sister was afraid that their brother-in-law would get angry even though she looked arrogant and overbearing. To put it bluntly, their brother-in-law only tolerated Big sister in front of outsiders!
The sisters guessed that Big sister must have listened to their brother-in-law when the door was closed.
Now that they saw their Big sister’s expression, they all felt that their guesses were indeed true!
The truly powerful one was still their brother-in-law.
“I’m fine.” Su Wen had an idea. “I’ll just ask him for another one.” “Won’t we be discovered?” asked the honest Su Xiu worriedly.
“I’ll tell him that I’ve admired the previous photo enough. Take a few more photos.” The more Su Wen thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. “I’ll write him a letter now and send him another photo of me. That way, he won’t have any reason to reject me.”
What a perfect excuse.
“Big sister…” Su Xiu wanted to say something but stopped herself. Su Xue secretly pulled her back, and she did not continue.
Su Xue reminded him softly, “Let’s not meddle in Big sister and brother-in-law’s matters. That’s between them as husband and wife.”
“But…” Su Xiu’s face was full of condemnation. She almost said, ‘I didn’t expect
you to be like this, Fourth sister. Is this how you treat Big sister?’ Their brother-in-law was such a smart person. He would notice the problem. Most importantly, she had never seen Big sister take out their brother-in-law’s photo to admire!
Brother-in-law slept in the same room as Big sister. Would he not notice?
“Cough cough…” Su Xue felt guilty under Third sister’s gaze. She pretended not to care and turned around.” I’ll go to the vegetable garden to take a look. Third Sister, hurry up and make the steamed cake! In a while, sister-in-law Yulan will come to pick up the goods instead.”
When Su Xiu heard that He Yulan was coming to pick up the goods, she threw her worries to the back of her mind and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Su Wen decisively wrote a letter and sent it with Su Qing’s letter the next day.
Changhe Machinery Factory.
In the boss’s office, Zhou Hengyang sat behind his desk, interviewing the newcomer with a serious face. The man sitting opposite him wore a pair of trousers and a light blue shirt. The high-end fabric made it evident that it was expensive.
The man was handsome and extraordinary. The top button of his shirt was unbuttoned casually, revealing a small piece of his tanned skin. He wore a pair of gold -rimmed glasses, and his entire person was even more refined and extraordinary.

If Liu Chun were here, she would definitely say, “Just a handsome scum.” If it were Xu Xiaoxiao, she would say he was a beat in human clothes.
That was right. This person was Zhou Hengguang, the third son of the Zhou family and the younger brother of Zhou Hengyang.
Although Zhou Hengyang also had a vicious tongue, he was naturally protective of his brother. Naturally, he would not say anything about his younger brother. However, the scene in front of him still gave him a headache. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said unhappily, “You’re late.”
“I worked overtime before, but the secretary didn’t tell me.”
Pan Yi called Zhou Hengguang for an interview, according to the contact information on his resume. It was his secretary, Ji Fang, who answered the call. Ji Fang would never dream that his vice president would give up his position as the vice president of the provincial design institute and not work hard. Instead, he idled around to interview for a secretary in a machinery factory..
Chapter 587: I’m Very Obedient
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
If word got out, it would only make people laugh.
Ji Fang cursed him for being a lunatic and forgot about it. After a few days, Zhou Hengguang did not get a reply, so he took the initiative to ask.
He immediately scolded Ji Fang.
Zhou Hengyang laughed. “What happened to your previous job? Don’t forget that you’re an architectural designer, not a mechanical engineer.”
“I’m good with anything.” Zhou Hengguang winked at Big brother. “I’m a genius.”
“You are also thick-skinned.”
“Big brother, I heard that you took the land by Xiangshan Lake?”
Zhou Hengyang used a week to mobilize all the funds that could be mobilized. He even sold the cars he had just bought at a discount before he could gather enough money to take the land. Fortunately, Xiangshan Lake was far from the city, so the land price was not expensive.
If Su Wen knew the land’s price, she would say it was a huge bargain.
Zhou Hengyang answered, “Including Xiangshan Lake. It’s a barren land at the moment. But I believe that in the next ten years, the city will develop and become the core area of the new city.”
“Big Brother, you’re right to do business,” Zhou Hengguang gave him a thumbs up and praised.
That’s right. Others definitely don’t think so.” Zhou Hengyang’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he said coldly, “Think about it! You didn’t listen to our family’s arrangements and went to study architecture. Second brother died, and I, the most obedient and hardworking boss since I was young, became the most rebellious one in the end. Those people are still cursing me behind my back!”
Zhou Hengyang’s retirement from the aviation research institute was equivalent to slapping everyone. However, compared to the others, this was only the lightest slap.
He had severed his relationship with the Zhou family. This was the second slap. With the momentum of lightning, he shocked everyone so much.
Then, he disappeared.
When he appeared again, he gave them a bigger shock.
The dignified eldest son of the Zhou family, who shouldered the greatest responsibility and hope, had become someone else’s live-in son-in-law and even changed his surname.
A great humiliation!
When this news spread, the Zhou family’s elders were stunned. None dared to use their status and seniority to look for him. They were afraid that they would make Zhou Hengyang unhappy and give them a fourth shock.
After all, in the first twenty years, no one would have thought that the most capable and famous eldest son of the Zhou family would be so ruthless when he was heartless.
At the mention of this, Zhou Hengguang was overjoyed. “Big brother, I’ve always been proud to say that I didn’t want to be unable to drink and smoke because of my profession, so I rebelled and went to study architecture. But compared to you, what am I?”

Zhou Hengyang raised his eyebrows and had a bad premonition. “I’m warning you. What are you trying to do?”
“Don’t worry.” Zhou Hengguang acted like he was very obedient, but he was anxiously waiting for Su Qing’s reply.
If she dared not reply, she would just have to wait for his next move! Anyway, he, Zhou Gengguang, was not a good person.
“Big brother, hire me! My job at the design institute is very free. I can just arrange things for the underground designers to do. Do you know my secretary, Ji Fang? Don’t think he’s young. His work ability is very strong. Under my guidance, his ability has already advanced by leaps and bounds.” It was actually torture.
Zhou Hengguang’s method of torturing his subordinates was not something a fool could endure. Being able to stay for such a long time was enough to show Ji Fang’s learning and ability to withstand pressure..
Chapter 588: A Letter For You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“If you want to develop Xiangshan Lake, is anyone more suitable than me? Your current team has no talents in this area, and the machinery factory doesn’t have enough employees to operate. You must form a partnership with others and establish a new company.”
Zhou Hengguang had a look of anticipation and a harmless smile.
However, Zhou Hengyang knew very well that his third brother was not harmless. Anyone who thought he was harmless would be dead.
Zhou Hengyang didn’t want to argue with him anymore. “Tell me, who do you represent? Is it you, Zhou Hengguang, or the Zhou family?”
“Big brother!” Zhou Hengguanglooked hurt. “We’re brothers. Although you’ve left the Zhou family and are wary of the Zhou family, you can’t treat me, your younger brother, as a bad guy, right?”
Zhou Hengyang exposed it without hesitation. “You’re capable of being a double agent.”
“Big brother, you know me well, but I support you on this matter.”
“I’m not worried that you’ll be a double spy. I’m afraid you’ll learn from me and leave the Zhou family. You might even become someone else’s son-in-law just because you want to prove them wrong.” This was what Zhou Hengyang was worried about. He understood his brother’s personality.
When he first became a live-in son-in-law, it was because of coincidence and Su Xuewen’s request, but now it was for Wenwen. He was very grateful for his choice and would never regret it.
But he didn’t want his third brother to learn in a fit of pique.
Zhou Hengyang frowned unhappily. “Big brother, why do you think of me like that? How old am I? Don’t forget, I’m only two years younger than you. I’m not a child anymore.” Actually, he was preparing to do something even bigger.
Of course, Zhou Hengguang wouldn’t say what he was thinking, but Zhou Hengyang didn’t intend to delve into it. His third brother wasn’t a child anymore. He had said so much, and it was up to him whether he could listen or not.
If he really followed suit, don’t blame him for adding insult to injury.
“Alright then! From now on, you’re a member of our factory. There’s no hard and fast working time. You just have to finish your work.”
“That good?”
Zhou Hengyang smiled like a sly old fox and propped his cheek with one hand. “Yes!” Liu Chun was not around. He wanted to go home and find a wife. There were so many things that no one could do. It would be a waste not to use Third Brother.
Was there anyone more capable and trustworthy than him?
If Third brother accepted it, he would have much time to be intimate with his wife.
“What do I have to do?”
“All of them!”
“So?” Zhou Hengguang’s voice changed. “What about you?”
“Oh! I’m going home for a while. I’m not sure when I’ll be back. I might be back after the Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest.’
“There’s still more than a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival!” Zhou Hengguang gritted his teeth and reminded.
“That’s right! I know.”
“Big brother, you…you win!”
In the first round of the big and small foxes, the big fox won with an absolute advantage and conveniently tricked the little fox.
“Oh right, let me use your car. I sold mine.”
“Anyway, you’ll be so busy in the future that you won’t have time to go out and run around. By the way, didn’t you say that your secretary is very capable? I think he can help you to perfectly take on the two positions of vice president of the design institute and secretary of the machinery factory.”
“Good, very good!” Zhou Hengguang took out his car keys and handed them over obediently.
He had been scammed. He had been scammed miserably!
Damn it! It seemed he had to trick Su Qing into marrying him as soon as possible.

In the future, if Big brother ran home to hug his wife, he would also go home to hug his wife. They would be fair.
Wait a minute…
Why would he think of the phrase ‘hugging wife?’ Knock, knock! There was a knock on the office door.
“Come in.”
“Boss, there’s a letter for you..”
Chapter 589: In a Daze
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Just put it on the table.” Zhou Hengyang was sorting out the work that needed to be handed to Third brother. He casually agreed. When the secretary went out, he heard Third brother say, “A letter from sister-in-law…”
Before Third Brother could finish, Zhou Hengyang had already snatched the letter away.
Seeing that it was a letter from Wenwen, Zhou Hengyang’s originally serious expression couldn’t help but reveal a very shallow smile.
Zhou Hengguang was about to get jealous. Since when did Big brother care so much about anyone?
“Alright, you can go now.” Zhou Hengyang chased him away mercilessly.
“Oh!” Although he didn’t want to leave, Zhou Hengguang still got up and left obediently.
After Zhou Hengguang left, Zhou Hengyang eagerly opened the letter and read through Su Wen’s letter. His smiling eyes instantly darkened.
“Did she lose my photo?” A certain someone slammed the table angrily. Thinking about it, he was both angry and amused. “Do you really think I don’t know? You said that you can’t get enough of my photos every day. I’m not angry just because you’re so good at talking.”
Sigh! He really loved his wife dearly.
He was obviously furious, but in the end, he was coaxed by a sentence.
Zhou Hengyang supported his chin with one hand and was lost in thought. After a long time, his gaze fell on Su Wen’s elegant handwriting. His gaze slowly froze, and a trace of something wrong flashed across his heart. There seemed to be something wrong with this handwriting.
What did Su Wen’s handwriting look like in the past?
Zhou Hengyang thought about it. Since he couldn’t remember the scene when he first met Su Wen, let alone the handwriting.
At that time, he did not want to get married at all, let alone be interested in the person he wanted to marry. At that time, he only treated it as a responsibility. Now that he thought about it, he actually had no impression of it. He had been talking to Su Xuewen the whole time.
He didn’t even look at Wenwen. Now that he thought about it, he was filled with regret.
He had actually forgotten the scene of the first time the two of them met. When he thought about how he had neglected Wenwen at that time, he felt his heart ache.
Zhou Hengyang sighed. He was about to put away the letter when a photo fell out of the envelope. The photo showed Su Wen’s bright smile. Zhou Hengyang was mesmerized.
This must be the feeling of falling in love with someone!
She was constantly on his mind, and he was obsessed with her just by looking at the photos.
“Big brother, this is bad.” Zhou Hengyang was in a daze when Zhou Hengguang suddenly rushed in. As soon as he came in, he found that his Big brother was in a daze. He was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.
Was Big Brother in a daze?
Many people would be in a daze, lost in their thoughts, but he had never seen such emotions from Big brother or Second brother.

“Big brother, what are you holding in your hand?” asked Zhou Hengguang, knowing what it was.
“It’s nothing.” Zhou Hengyang calmly put the photo in the drawer, but his slightly red ears revealed his true emotions. “What did you say was bad? It’s not like you to be so flustered.”
“Actually, it’s not that bad.” Zhou Hengguang smiled evilly. “It has become fun.” “What’s fun?”
“Of course, it’s our precious cousin. Is there anything more fun than him?” Zhou Hengguang smiled even more happily as he spoke. “Cousin is too fun! If only he were our biological brother. Wouldn’t that be more fun?”
Zhou Hengyang shot him a cold glance. “If Xiaoxiao is really our biological brother, then it’s not fun. Only Little Aunt can bring up someone like Xiaoxiao.” No other family member could do it..
Chapter 590: Battle of Words
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
“Little aunt’s personality is carefree and easygoing. Since she was young, she was doted on by their grandfather and dared to cause any trouble. She was not afraid that no one would clean up the mess.
“That’s true.” Zhou Hengguang’s eyes were clouded. “My family…” Haha!” The brothers tacitly skipped the topic.
“Let’s go. Little Uncle is back. He wants us to attend a family meeting.”
“As expected.”
Ever since Xiaoxiao boldly published a notice in the newspaper that he had severed ties with his family and left the Xu family, he had guessed that Little Uncle was definitely coming back. No matter how busy he was, he had to come back. Otherwise, his home would no longer his home.
In the past week, the people of the Province had also seen a lively joke.
After Xu Xiaoxiao published the announcement, Zhou Yan immediately replied.
Thus, the mother and son continued to argue, causing everyone to be dumbfounded and admired them. One had to Imow that the news published in the newspaper was calculated according to the number of words. These two were using more and more words in the newspaper.
In the end, they used an entire page.
The people at the news agency were overjoyed.
Sure enough, when Zhou Hengyang and his brother arrived, the Xu family could no longer be seen. The courtyard was in a mess as if a typhoon had blown it. The flowers and grass were all gone, trampled to pieces.
As soon as they entered the door, an unidentified flying object flew directly at the brothers. The two brothers, who were about the same height and looked equally handsome, moved in unison. One flew to the left and the other to the right, causing the teapot to fly out between them. With a clang, it smashed into
pieces on tne grouncl.
Then, the man roared heartbrokenly.
“That’s an antique, it’s an antique. It’s from the Ru…” A tall and elegant man, who was less than fifty years old, rushed out in a hurry. He walked past the brothers like a gust of wind and carefully picked up the pieces on the ground. “Zhou Yan, Xu Xiaoxiao, you’re doomed. From now on, I’ll never forgive you.”
The two brothers looked at each other and made the same expression. Their hearts were filled with sympathy for Little Uncle.
How pitiful. It wasn’t easy for them to force his refined and calm Little Uncle to this extent.
“Xiaowang.” Xu Pei shouted at his secretary hiding in the corner, “Go and publish it in the newspaper. I want to break off my father-son relationship with Xu Xiaoxiao and divorce Zhou Yan.”
The poor secretary, Xiaowang, was so scared that his face turned pale. “I-I don’t think that’s appropriate?” It was not just bad. It was very bad.
The minister only had one son, and the old man in the capital only had one grandson, Xu Xiaoxiao. If they broke off their father-son relationship, the old man would break the minister’s leg with his walking stick when they returned to the capital.
The minister had three brothers. The other two had daughters, and only the minister had a son. Xu Xiaoxiao was the only heir of the Xu family’s thousand acres of land. Although they were now paying attention to gender equality and could not favor boys over girls, boys, and girls were equally doted on.

But for his only grandson, the old man doted on him like a treasure. Especially since his granddaughters had grown up by his side. Only this grandson had grown up in another city. Moreover, he was a capable person. His personality and words matched the old man’s temper in every way.
Everyone said that Xu Xiaoxiao had the demeanor of the old master when he was young.
Xu Pei was furious. He was about to be laughed at by his old friends at work. An old classmate even brought a newspaper to him and said that his family had two writers.
The writing style was good, and the words used were appropriate.
What was appropriate?
Chapter 591: Wenwen Is Better Than Others
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Pei had pushed aside everything on his schedule just to come back and see what these two people had done when he was not home.
In the end, Xu Pei overestimated his ability and underestimated the ability of his wife and son to cause trouble.
Just like that, the Ru porcelain antique was smashed into pieces.
This was a national treasure! A national treasure.
At this moment, Xu Pei’s heart ached. He only wanted to break away from these two annoying things and live alone.
“It will be fine as long as I say it’s fine. Do it immediately.”
“Minister, think about it. If you do this, Old Master will have to take a plane over tomorrow…” As for why he would be here. Of course, it was to teach the minister a lesson.
Xu Pei wanted to vomit blood.
“The Zhou brothers are here.” Xiaowang looked like he had seen his savior and excitedly grabbed Zhou Hengguang’s hand. However, this guy was slightly obsessed with cleanliness and shook it off in disgust.
Xiaowang was speechless.
Three minutes later…
In the living room, everyone was divided into four groups.
Xu Pei and his people.
Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yan each on one side.
Zhou Hengyang and his brother were in a gang.
Xiaowang was afraid he would die young if he stayed any longer, so he took the opportunity to slip away when he saw his savior.
Very good, four-way meeting.
The atmosphere was tense and awkward. The awkwardness was also filled with a tense atmosphere.
Zhou Hengguang was just here to watch the show. He had always liked to watch his aunt’s family’s performance since he was young, but after so many years of watching the show, today’s show was the most exciting. He was already looking forward to his uncle publishing in the newspaper.
That would be truly lively.
Zhou Hengyang was not as sarcastic as his third brother. His mind was filled with the desire to go home. After he had arranged his work and dug a hole for his third brother, he could go back and hug his wife! If he hadn’t been called over in a hurry, he would have been on his way back.
While the family of three was competing with each other, Zhou Hengyang was finally not upset anymore. He casually clapped his hands twice, and the sound was loud.
It interrupted the battle.
“All of you…Don’t you find it embarrassing?” Zhou Hengyang helplessly pointed at Zhou Yan and Xu Xiaoxiao. When he showed the imposing manner of the eldest son of the Zhou family with a cold face, even Zhou Yan, as an elder, had to listen to her eldest nephew.
Not to mention Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been bullied since he was young. This was a huge mountain above his head. Therefore, when Xu Pei returned from the capital and learned that Zhou Hengyang, who had disappeared for a long time, had returned, he sent people to find him in a hurry.
“Nephew.” Zhou Yan felt guilty.
“I admit that I like to watch a show, but the two of you…” Zhou Hengyang didn’t know what words to use to describe his emotions. In short, he had to calm down as soon as possible not to waste his time.
“Do you two know that the sales of the morning newspaper tripled just because of your war of words in the newspaper? The Zhaori Newspaper is still looking for you. They said that as long as you publish it in their newspaper, they will provide you a free-of-charge service.”
Simply… It was so embarrassing that everyone in the country knew about them.
Zhou Yan’s eyes lit up. “Eldest nephew, tell Zhaori Newspaper to charge a fee.

I’m not asking for a high price as long as it’s the same as Wenwen’s.”
Miss Zhou, do you still want to compete with Su Wen?” Xu Xiaoxiao continued to mock her without fear of death. “What right do you have? Su Wen is a writer and the best-selling author right now. Without her, your act would have turned into bankruptcy.”
“Brat, who are you talking about? I think you’re looking for a beating. Come over here.” Zhou Yan was furious.
Although Zhou Yan was unhappy, Zhou Hengguang was happy! He nodded in satisfaction. “Xiaoxiao is right. Wenwen is not someone ordinary people can
compete with.. “
Chapter 592: Let Hengguang Speak
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhou Hengguang held his forehead with both hands and could not bear to look at him.
They had come to stop the quarrel, but their Big brother had been led astray.
Sigh! It seemed that there was still a lot of arguing to do.
So Zhou Hengguang cast a sympathetic look at Little Uncle, but Xu Pei took the initiative to ask seriously, “Who is Su Wen?”
“She’s my Big Brother’s wife.” Zhou Hengguang replied quietly, “My Big Brother’s wife, the female head of the family.”
“Did your Big Brother become someone else’s live-in-husband?” Although he had heard about it in the Capital, Xu Pei still didn’t believe it.
“It’s absolutely true. He even changed his surname. My Big Brother now has to sign Su Hengyang when he signs a contract.”
“Su Hengyang?” Xu Pei was dumbfounded and only reacted after a long time.
After he reacted, he looked at his son and suddenly stopped being angry. Compared to Zhou Hengyang, his son was still very cute!
Xu Pei decided to forgive his unfilial son, Xu Xiaoxiao.
On the other side, Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Yan were quarreling again. One called his mother, Miss Zhou, and the other called her son a brat. Zhou Hengyang had a headache listening to them.
“Alright, can you stop fooling around?” Zhou Hengyang interrupted impatiently, “Isn’t it embarrassing enough?”
Xu Xiaoxiao whispered, “No matter how embarrassing we are, we can’t compare to you, Su Hengyang, right?”
“You’re quite right.” The mother and son reached an agreement quickly.
Although their voices were soft, Zhou Hengyang could hear them clearly. He sneered and asked, “Say it again?”
“We didn’t say anything.”
“We just don’t want to make trouble anymore.” Zhou Yan had an innocent look on her face. “Eldest nephew, why are you guys here?”
“These two people… You’re simply unreasonable. Don’t you two know why we came?” Zhou Hengguang gritted his teeth as he listened. “Big brother, don’t waste your breath on them. Just beat them up. I’ve never seen someone so unreasonable. Don’t call us over if you make trouble again in the future.” Zhou Hengyang pursed his thin lips and looked at Xu Pei.
“I was the one who called you here. They’re too much. I want to run away from home.” Xu Pei anxiously said the classic words his son had said since he was young. After speaking, he realized it had damaged his dignified and elegant image. Fortunately, there were no subordinates or old friends present.
Zhou Yan opened her mouth. “I…”
“Don’t say anymore.” Zhou Hengguang interrupted her. “Let me speak.”

“Haha!” Zhou Hengguang wanted to watch the show, but Big brother wasn’t interested, so he would let it be. He could tell that his brother was very tired of the family wars that his aunt’s family had a few times a year. Thus, Zhou Hengguang revealed a sly smile and stood up.
“You guys quarreled all over the province. Everyone in the country knows about it. You actually have the nerve to call my Big brother. How is it embarrassing for my big brother to be someone else’s live-in-husband? I feel very honored. Besides, he didn’t publish it in the newspapers, right?”
“Ahem…” Zhou Hengyang couldn’t stand it anymore. “Let’s get down to business. Don’t talk about me.”
“Oh!” Zhou Hengguang looked disappointed. He immediately changed to a serious expression and continued, “We received news that something bad is going to happen. You guys are having a word battle!” That’s why I came. As soon as we came in, you used Ru porcelain to welcome us. I just calculated that you have to pay for the medical expenses, as well as the mental damage…” “Zhou Hengguang, don’t you have any shame? What does my family’s quarrel have to do with you?” Xu Xiaoxiao sat still and stretched her long leg to kick Zhou Hengguang.
Zhou Yan also strongly condemned him. “Third nephew, you’re too shameless. You actually took the opportunity to extort me. I called you here to support me and judge the truth.. How could you be like this?”
Chapter 593: A Big Fight
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sure enough, it seemed that Eldest nephew was the best, even though Eldest nephew was scary when he was angry.
“Third Brother, don’t mess around.” Zhou Hengyang pinched the space between his eyebrows in frustration.
“Anyway, stop quarreling. If you keep quarreling, the old man will commit suicide at home. And you, Xu Xiaoxiao.” Zhou Hengguang pointed at Xu Xiaoxiao. “You started this war first. You shouldn’t have published it in the newspapers.”
“Miss Zhou is too much. You don’t know what she has done.” Xu Xiaoxiao turned his head proudly, not wanting to see Miss Zhou, who had gone too far.
“What did she do?” She could actually force his younger cousin, who had suffered a blow since young, to such an extent?
“She found me a child bride.”
“Child bride?” Zhou Hengguang gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up in admiration. “You’re really amazing. How afraid are you that cousin won’t be able to get a wife?”
“What is it? Child bride?” Xu Pei immediately jumped up.”Miss Zhou Yan, are you crazy?
Zhou Hengyang immediately thought of something, and his face darkened. “Is it Sixth sister or Little Sister? Little aunt, you’re too much. How could you have that kind of thoughts on a relative’s kid?”
Zhou Hengguang turned his head uneasily when he heard his big brother’s words. He had just the same thought. It had been more than a week since he had written the letter. Why hadn’t she replied yet? If she didn’t reply, he would have to find another way.
If it didn’t work, he would try to flatter her.
“No, it’s not completely settled.” Zhou Yan hurriedly explained, “Isn’t it because
I’m happy to see Sixth sister? So I thought that if Xiaoxiao couldn’t find a wife,
I would marry Sixth sister Xiaoxiao when she grows up.”
“No, I don’t agree.” Zhou Hengyang rejected her outright. “My sister-in-law isn’t someone that anyone can marry.”
With the change in his relationship with Wenwen, Zhou Hengyang had long treated his sisters-in-law as his sisters. Especially the two youngest ones. He treated them like his daughters. He was very angry now that he thought about how they were coveting her.
“Haha!” Xu Xiaoxiao laughed coldly. “You think I can’t do it just because you say so? I agreed.” Xu Xiaoxiao, who had always been against his cousin since he was young, habitually went against him this time.
He had always thought this was a ridiculous suggestion, but now, as long as it could anger Zhou Hengyang, he was happy to do it.
Zhou Hengyang suddenly stood up, and a certain someone was unlucky. Xu Xiaoxiao was punched and kicked by a certain someone and finally smashed into the cabinet. The walnut cabinet was smashed into pieces.
In hiding outside, Xu Peiji’s secretary, Xiaowang, heard it from afar. He couldn’t help but shrink his neck. In the past, if such a thing happened, he could just call the Zhou family’s eldest son over and stop it. Why was the battle worse this time?
Xiao Xiao wouldn’t really beat up his own father, right?
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
The minister’s body couldn’t withstand a punch from Xiaoxiao.
Sigh! How worrying! He had never seen such a strange family. The minister was such a wise and powerful person. As soon as he arrived home, he would be like a different person when he met his wife and son. His personality was different from when he was in the office.
Although Xiaowang was very worried, he still held back and did not go in. He was afraid that if he went in now and saw the scene of the minister being beaten up by his son, it would make the minister lose face. If word got out, how would Xiaoxiao be able to live?
He remembered Xiaoxiao was a little rascal who had been ruthless since he was young. God knows if he would be even more of a rascal when he grew up.
Hence, Xiaowang waited patiently. After about an hour, the person in the room finally came out..
Chapter 594: Problem Solved
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The little troublemaker, Xu Xiaoxiao, was covered in injuries. Formerly one of the notorious trio in the Province, Madame Zhou smiled gracefully, portraying the image of a devoted wife and mother. Meanwhile, Minister Xu remained silent, his demeanour composed. The three of them stood by the door, silently observing the departure of the Zhou family.
Suddenly, Xiao Wang regretted calling Zhou Hengyang. “Did you get beaten up?” Madame Zhou asked, aware of Xiaoxiao’s capabilities, knowing very few could challenge him. “Was it Zhou Hengyang?”
Xu Pei nodded, his expression filled with pain.
“Sweetie, let’s go. I’ll get medicine for you. Don’t be afraid. Mommy will protect you. I won’t tease you about the child bride anymore. If you’re unwilling, it was just a playful tease. Look, Su Wen didn’t make a fuss about it, she didn’t take it seriously. I didn’t either. I just wanted to have some fun with you. Too bad you’re not as entertaining as you used to be when you were kids.”
Reassuring her son, Zhou Yan led him away, applying medicine with a troubled expression.
Xu Xiaoxiao hissed and cursed Zhou Hengyang inwardly. “I want the child bride. I won’t let Zhou Hengyang off this time. I’ll personally fetch Sixth Sister from the Children’s Palace tonight.” Pretending surprise, Zhou Yan questioned, “But didn’t you hate her before?”
“The past is the past, now is the present.”
“Fine, go get her tonight. Remember, don’t mistreat Sixth Sister.”
“I know.”
Mother and son returned to the living room amicably to treat Xiaoxiao’s wounds, leaving Xiaowang gaping at the door. “Minister, so a beating is all it takes? Can it put an end to the family war in your household?”
Xu Pei nodded. “In the past, we had to fight battles to end battles,” he said seriously. “I thought Xiaoxiao had grown up, and Zhou Yan had matured. There shouldn’t have been a fight.”
Awkwardly clearing his throat, Xiao Wang decided it was best not to listen further. He recalled the saying about not airing one’s family feud in public.
“It’s alright. It’s been a while since I’ve been home. I’ll be staying for a month this time.” He intended to make the most of this opportunity to be with his wife.
Despite Xu Pei’s acknowledgement of his son and wife’s noisy, extravagant,
and embarrassing behaviour, everyone in town knew he cherished them. Anyone daring to speak ill of them should prepare for his retaliation.
However, during his absence, several incidents had occurred at home. He hadn’t met the wife Hengyang unexpectedly found, making it crucial to assess her suitability for his son.
Even if she had no malicious intentions, it was something he needed to consider.

He remained ignorant of the Zhou family’s intentions. Their uncharacteristic silence puzzled him. Observing the situation, he surmised that Hengyang likely held the upper hand. He had long known Hengyang to be the most ruthless among the younger generation.
Now, the Zhou family was facing the consequences. If they couldn’t save Hengyang, they would lose Heng Guang.
With a sense of responsibility, Xu Pei glanced towards the living room. Through the windows, he watched his son obediently receiving treatment on the sofa. Xiaoxiao always seemed at odds with Hengyang since childhood, yet he admired Hengyang the most.
Children often gravitate towards older companions. In his younger days, Xiaoxiao had followed the Hengyang brothers like a shadow, making him jealous. Why should his precious treasure be snatched away?
But there’s nothing to be done. Xiaoxiao favoured the twin cousins. Now there’s only one twin left, and it’s such a pity for Hengshan..
Chapter 595: Tearing the Letter
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After leaving the house, Zhou Hengguang realized he didn’t have a car. He had driven here, but his older brother took the car, leaving him stranded on the road.
After half an hour of waiting, Ji Fang finally arrived in the design institute’s car. “Vice Director, where’s your car?”
“Gone!” Someone stole his car and left him stranded. Ji Fang wisely refrained from inquiring about his car. “Are you heading home or to work?”
“Neither. Let’s go to Xinxing Textile Factory.” He had written to Su Qing, giving her the factory’s address and claiming to be an ordinary worker there.
“Sure.” Ji Fang understood immediately. For the past three days, the vice director had asked him to check the reception room at the new textile factory for a letter from Lin Weiguo.
Upon arrival, Zhou Hengguang, posing as a Xinxing textile factory employee, waited in the car. Ji Fang went to the reception room and found a letter from Lin Weiguo. At least the trip wasn’t in vain.
“Vice Director, there’s a letter from Lin Weiguo.” Ji Fang handed the letter to Zhou Hengguang after rejoining the car.
“Good!” Zhou Hengguang took over the letter, glancing at the address with a smile. Regardless of Su Qing’s response, her reply marked her falling into his trap.
From then on, Su Qing became his bargaining chip. Especially after his elder brother beat up Xiaoxiao’s cousin today to protect his own, the value of this pawn became even more significant.
He witnessed his older brother and sister-in-law’s closeness, this confirmed the significance of the Su family in his brother’s heart. Today, he realized it was even more substantial than he had thought.
This was advantageous to him. The greater the importance, the more potent the pawn.
Zhou Hengguang leaned back, nonchalantly, and quickly read the letter. He didn’t care about su Qing’s response, ne only needed to deceive ner Into believing he was her old classmate, Lin Weiguo.
Ripping the letter and envelope into shreds, he contemplated his reply. Ji Fang observed the vice director’s actions, finding him peculiar. Previously, he’d been eager for a reply, but he tore it apart without hesitation after receiving the letter.
He didn’t know the vice director’s motives.
Returning home, Zhou Hengguang sent Ji Fang off and sat on the courtyard’s coffee table. He imagined himself as a diligent worker in a small textile factory and wrote a lengthy response. He depicted Lin Weiguo as hardworking, determined, and responsible, hoping to leave a positive impression on Su Qing.
Zhou Hengguang squinted, his face revealing a satisfied smile.
This portrayal of Lin Weiguo was bound to leave a favourable impression on Su
Qing. Now, he could delve into the hardships of the ordinary worker Lin Weiguo in his letters, and his constant pressure at home to get married and settle down.

In Trinity Village, even though the incident of Su Xiaoya’s disappearance ended, the memory lingered. Recently, villagers have been discussing it. Many felt a sense of regret, thinking about Xiaoya, who would never return.
Regret settled in, for they hadn’t appreciated her presence while she was alive.
Now that she was gone, they felt sad for Xiaoya, who had a difficult time under her stepmother’s care.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Wang Yongmei dared not leave her house these days. Everything was done in secrecy. Yet, the thought of the money she had amassed brought a sinister smile to her face, even in the middle of the night..
Chapter 596: She Come For a Reason
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
However, Li Caihua was not as fortunate as Wang Yongmei. The revelation of her taking 500 dollars from the middleman had spread, and everyone turned against her. Suspicion arose about her past actions as well. Those who had hoped their children could have a better life gathered at Li Caihua’s house and smashed everything.
They not only want her to return the ill-gotten gains but also compensate for the damages. It caused a huge uproar, and she had no choice but to flee the village and seek refuge at her parents’ home.
Su Wen didn’t pay much attention to the events outside. After bidding farewell to Xiaoya, she rested at home for a week.
For the past three days, she hadn’t left the house, spending her time eating, sleeping, and contemplating her future. Whether it was Su Xiaoya being sent away or her experience in the Province, it had instilled a strong sense of urgency in her.
“Big sister, what are you doing?” Su Qing asked as she entered Su Wen’s room and saw her rummaging through the belongings, turning the tidy room into chaos. “What are you looking for?”
“A photograph. ”
“What photograph? Tell me, and I’ll help you find it. Aunt Chunyan and a few villagers are here to see you. They’re waiting in the main hall!” Su Qing rolled up her sleeves, offering her help to Su Wen.
“Aren’t they busy?” Another reason Su Wen hadn’t ventured outside recently was that the villagers were engrossed in farming.
Since the land had been switched to a household contract system, the villagers’ enthusiasm for work had reached unprecedented heights. They barely had time for lunch, with everyone, including the elderly and children, being sent to the fields.
Su Wen’s family had drawn lots for a barren hill, which remained infertile and unsuitable for cultivation. This made them stand out in the village. If they wandering around aimlessly would invite gossip.
Furthermore, Su Wen had gained significant attention during Su Xiaoya’s incident, so she needed to keep a low profile in the future.
“It’s raining heavily outside. It’s not advisable to go to the garden, so they came out for a visit.”
“Okay!” Su Wen turned around, leaving the cabinet. She felt exhausted and was sweating profusely. Glancing out the window, she confirmed the heavy rain. The sound of raindrops falling under the eaves was soothing to the ears, possessing a unique artistic charm.
While Su Wen was lost in thought, staring out the window, Su Qing stole a glance at her. “Big sister, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing,” Su Wen snapped back to reality. “Oh, by the way, do you know where our mother’s photograph is?”
When Su Wen saw Liu Juan in the Province, she suspected Liu Juan was related to the Host’s mother, prompting her to search for old photos.
Upon hearing Su Wen’s interest in their mother’s photograph, Su Qing’s eyes sparkled with surprise. Such matters never piqued her sister’s interest before.
“Why are you suddenly looking for old photos?”
“Nothing, I just met someone in the Province,” Su Wen replied, avoiding the mention of Liu Juan to prevent any leaks.
“I have an old photo. It’s with me. I’ll give it to you later.”
“Alright.”
While the sisters talked, Wang Chunyan, growing impatient from waiting in the main hall, shouted from a distance, “Wen girl, why are you hiding in the room? Come out!”

“I am here!”
Braving the rain, Su Wen quickly ran to the main hall. Upon entering, she couldn’t help but smile upon seeing he people gathered in the room.
Even He Yulan, who had been ridiculed for selling steamed cakes, was there.
Second Aunt Zhang Chunxiang was also there, having kept a low profile since Second Uncle was caught red-handed.
She came today for a reason..
Chapter 597: Gossip
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhang Chunxiang sat in a quiet corner, attempting to go unnoticed. Yet, when she met Su Wen’s eyes, she pretended indifference, turning away with a flicker of jealousy in her gaze.
“What’s going on today? Why is everyone gathered here?” Su Wen teased, attempting to lighten the atmosphere.
“Isn’t it because of the rain, making it hard to work in the garden?” Wang
Chunyan retorted, rolling her eyes at Su Wen. “Why are you hiding at home?
We could chat while working in the garden, but it’s rare to see you.”
Su Wen thought, “They must be curious to gossip.”
“It’s my fault,” Su Wen admitted, squeezing onto He Yulan’s bench and asking Su Xiu if there was any food at home.
Su Xiu agreed and soon found some melon seeds and peanuts. Su Wen had bought plenty of delicious and expensive food this time, but Su Xiu hesitated to share it with others. It wasn’t stinginess, life in the countryside was simply tough, and there were too many mouths to feed.
Su Xiu had purchased these melon seeds and peanuts in town. They were of good quality and reasonably priced, just what ordinary folks like them preferred. If she shared the chocolates Su Wen bought, they might not be accustomed to them! “Wenwen, you’re still the most generous.”
“Wenwen, you’re rich!”
“Rich.”
Amidst the chatter, He Yulan grabbed a handful of peanuts but didn’t eat them. Instead, she stared at Su Wen, who seemed hesitant to speak.
“Wenwen, where’s your husband?” someone asked.
“He’s back in the provincial capital, working hard to earn money,” Su Wen replied.
“I heard he’s working in a profitable factory. Is that true?” another villager inquired.
Su Wen folded her hands on her lap, her mind working on a plan. She glanced at Wang Chunyan, who finally caught on. No wonder these people had come to her house and dragged her along to find Su Wen—they wanted to leverage Zhou Hengyang’s connections to secure jobs in the factory.
“What’s so great about it? We want to make a living,” Su Wen replied casually.
Wenwen, we find it hard to believe you. Your family has been thriving these past six months. Your husband must be making a fortune in the provincial capital. ”
“Exactly! If you didn’t have money, would you share these melon seeds and peanuts with us? Hehe…”
Su Wen suddenly stood up, her expression turning serious. “What? Is it wrong for me to share melon seeds and peanuts with you? Are you accusing me of being selfish just because I have some money?”
As Su Wen’s demeanour shifted, so did the villagers. “Who do you think you are? Whv be so arrogant? So what if you’re rich? We’re all from the same
village. Helping each other is normal.”
“Taking all the benefits for yourself…”

“Enough, stop bickering,” Wang Chunyan shouted, silencing everyone. “I was wondering why you all came to get me. So, this is what you planned for Wenwen’s family visit. Get out, leave now. Don’t irritate us further.”
With Wang Chunyan’s outburst, the three troublemakers were shamed into leaving. He Yulan remained behind, fuming. “These people are shameless!” she exclaimed, addressing Su Wen. “You have no idea. Everyone in the village has been talking behind your back recently.”
What are they saying?” Su Wen asked, genuinely curious. “I haven’t been out much lately.”
“That’s it! Because you’ve been keeping to yourself, rumours have been spreading,” Wang Chunyan interjected, rolling her eyes at Su Wen. She then turned to He Yulan. “Yulan, tell Wen what everyone’s been saying.”
“They’re saying you’ve become arrogant after getting rich, that your money comes from illegal activities. Oh, and they’re saying you bully others too..”

He Yulan skillfully imitated the villagers’ gossip, her fingers delicately touching her throat as she spoke, “I’ve known Wenwen since she was young. She’s a scheming girl, skilled at manipulating others for her own gain.” Su Qing and Su Xiu were furious upon hearing the accusation.
“Who said that? Who dares spread such rumors?” Su Qing demanded.
“It doesn’t matter who said it,” He Yulan immediately regretted her words, realizing she shouldn’t have disclosed the gossip. She tried to console them, saying, “Gossip is common. Let it go, don’t dwell on it.”
“Yulan is right,” Wang Chunyan chimed in.
But Su Qing and Su Xiu couldn’t let it go. They could talk ill about others, but not about Big Sister.
Meanwhile, Su Wen remained calm. Her eyebrows barely furrowed, but inside, she contemplated the situation. Since moving to the Province, she had distanced herself from the villagers, making her an easy target for gossip.
“It’s just idle chatter, nothing more,” Su Wen agreed with Wang Chunyan.
“Wenwen is the wisest among us. We shouldn’t create more trouble. My husband constantly worries you’ll get into trouble again. Every time you do, it becomes a big issue,” Village Chief Li Youcai expressed his concern for Su Wen.
Previously, when Su Wen caused trouble, he still had time to inform Hengyang. But this time, regarding the matter with Su Xiaoya, he didn’t even have a chance to notify Hengyang.
Li Youcai always sighed at home.
Su Wen defended herself, saying, “I didn’t intend for any of this.”
Amidst the laughter, Wang Chunyan and He Yulan left around noon. Due to the rain, Su Wen didn’t send them off. Alone under the eaves, she gazed at the misty fields, her thoughts elsewhere.
In fact, she wasn’t lost in thought, she was missing someone.
Su Wen felt her daydreaming tendencies increasing, which was a worrisome sign. However, thoughts of the eight houses someone had given her made her chuckle. She realized she was easily pleased.
“Sis, look at these photos,” Su Qing called out from her room, presenting an old photo album.
Photo albums were rare in many households, but Su Xuewen was rich and left
behind a thick album.
This was the first time Su Wen had seen it.

Opening it, Su Wen’s eyes widened at the sight of a picture of Su Xuewen and his wife, Liu Mingxuan. Su Xuewen, in his Chinese tunic suit, had mesmerizing peach blossom eyes, a feature Su Wen had inherited. Surprisingly, Su Wen found that her mother, Liu Mingxuan, didn’t possess the stunning looks she had imagined.
The Su sisters outshone one another in beauty, with the eldest and the sixth being particularly stunning, belonging to the category of top-notch beauties.
Though they couldn’t rival Su Wen’s beauty, they were attractive, thanks to Su Wen’s meticulous care. Her influence had brought about remarkable transformations in the sisters. Whenever they ventured out, compliments on their beauty were bound to follow.
So, Su Wen had always subconsciously believed that her mother, Liu Mingxuan, must be incredibly beautiful. However, she was wrong. The true beauty in the family was Su Xuewen.
Overwhelmed, Su Wen instinctively covered her mouth to stifle a gasp..
Chapter 599: The Past

Su Qing couldn’t help but swell with pride. “Father was incredibly handsome when he was young!” She recalled how people used to blush at the sight of him. Everyone adored Father, they went to great lengths to please him, even stuffing food into her mouth.
“So… was it Father that Mommy was pursuing?” She had always believed that Liu Mingxuan was an educated youth from the countryside with high standards. Su Xuewen must have put in a lot of effort to win her over.
“Yeah! That’s what everyone says.” Her father had never shared his past with him, but the villagers had. After his parents passed away, no one spoke of it anymore. Su Qing fondly reminisced about the days when her parents were alive. Those were wonderful times.
“Actually, Father wouldn’t have minded having only daughters if Mother didn’t want a son.” Su Qing’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, her voice becoming nasal. “Father loved us deeply. He never favoured sons over daughters.”
The one who truly favoured sons over daughters was her mother, but she paid the price with her life.
Suddenly, Su Wen had an epiphany. If Su Xuewen truly favoured sons to the point of risking his wife’s life, he wouldn’t have placed such importance on his daughter’s education. Looking at the smiling man in the photo, Su Wen admired Su Xuewen even more.
The old Su family was indeed peculiar. They had Su Xuewen, this exceptional gem.
“Oh, by the way, Su Qing, do you know if our Mother had a sister?” Su Wen pretended to be confused. “When I was in the Province, I met someone who resembled our Mother. I recall hearing about her before.”
“You mean you met Liu Juan?” Su Qing’s expression changed drastically.
“Where did you meet her? Did she do anything to you?”
“Yes, I met her,” Su Wen suppressed the shock in her heart and pretended to be nonchalant. “I encountered her when Little Aunt took me to visit. I thought it was a coincidence back then. After all, many people share the same name, so I wasn’t sure. But now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m certain.”
Su Qing gritted her teeth. “Are you okay?”
“Of course, I’m fine.” Su Wen reassured Su Qing, guiding her to continue. “She has no idea who I am.”
“That’s true. Ever since our Mother was sent away to be an educated youth, she never went back. Not until she passed away. Liu Juan definitely doesn’t know about us.” Su Qing sighed helplessly. ‘We severed ties with Grandma’s family long ago. We never thought we would meet again. I didn’t expect you to encounter her on your first trip to the Province.”
It was too much of a coincidence.

Back then, Mother wanted to return to the Province, but they didn’t allow her…” Su Qing looked at Su Wen sadly. She confessed, “Our parents have passed away. Grandma’s family is no longer a part of our lives, not to mention Liu
Juan. ”
Su Wen was anxious. The novel didn’t mention anything about the grandmother’s family. As a transmigrator, she had no information. However, Su Qing knew about them and harbored resentment toward Liu Juan.
Fortunately, Su Qing initiated the conversation, sparing Su Wen from having to probe.
“Liu Juan was supposed to be demoted back then, but she didn’t want to suffer, so she schemed against our Mother and made her take her place as an educated youth. Our Mother let go of the matter when she met our dad. But because she was far from her family, she rarely contacted them. Mother wanted to go back to visit, but Liu Juan and her grandparents strongly opposed it…” Su Qing said..
Chapter 600: Broken Beliefs

Su Wen felt her worldview shatter upon hearing the revelation. “Big sister is right; it is indeed very vicious,” Su Qing remarked coldly. “The man Liu Juan married was our mother’s boyfriend in the Province before she was demoted. Our mother never knew about this. When she was pregnant with the little sister, she discovered the betrayal, leading to a difficult childbirth. Since our mother’s passing, Father’s health has been deteriorating steadily…” Su Qing said.
The revelation shook Su Wen, she was shocked and angry. “Damn it, if I knew this would happen, I would have hit Liu Juan hard,” she seethed, her fists clenched in fury.
“They are biological sisters,” Su Qing whispered, wiping away tears with determination in her eyes. “So, Big sister, we have to be good sisters for life.”
“Yes! Don’t be sad. It’s all in the past,” Su Wen consoled Su Qing, though her heart burned with a desire for revenge. “Since the two families have severed ties, we won’t have any contact in the future.” Despite her words, Su Wen was not the kind to back down from a fight.
She couldn’t accept the indignity, especially when she thought of the reason behind her sisters’ parents’ untimely deaths and their subsequent struggles. Now that she had transmigrated into this world, the enemies of the Su family were her enemies too.
Zhang Chunxiang returned home in a fit of rage. Upon seeing Su Pingping, she unleashed her anger. “Where’s your Father? Where did he go? Was he seduced by that shameless woman again?
“I… I don’t know,” Su Pingping stammered, fear evident in her eyes. She had lost weight since the last incident, and the tension at home was obvious. Su
Xuewu and Zhang Chunxiang’s constant arguments left the family in disarray. Su Pingfan had given up on his studies. Besides asking his family for money, he was utterly useless, unable to contribute to his family. The family’s financial situation worsened when Su Xuewu lost his job.
Su Pingfan, who was once praised by everyone as a promising young man, had now become a delinquent everyone avoided mentioning. No matchmaker would consider him. The girls Zhang Chunxiang disregarded were rejecting Su Pingfan now.

Su Xuewu was caught in bed by his own younger brother, faced public humiliation, and lost his job as the village accountant. The family’s primary source of income was severed.
The meat was a luxury they could no longer afford, and Niuniu had started eating at her grandparents’ house.
Although Zhang Chunxiang’s harsh words filled the air, only Su Pingping bore the brunt of her frustration. She endured the scolding, silently crying herself to sleep at night. Secretly, she envied Su Qing, her cousin, who was treated with kindness by Su Wen, her elder sister.
“Why don’t you know anything?” Zhang Chunxiang’s voice was sharp, dripping with disdain. “You are useless, you just keep eating. You’re slower than everyone else in the fields. What use do I have for you if I have to feed you?” “I…” Su Pingping felt the injustice keenly but dared not speak up.
She couldn’t afford to provoke Zhang Chunxiang further, or she might face even more brutality. However, Su Pingping had learned to be cautious. Sensing an impending storm, she changed the topic swiftly. “What about Su Wen? Did she agree to help everyone to get jobs at the factory in Zhou Hengyang?” She avoided using the term “cousin” at home, fearing it might anger Zhang Chunxiang even more..
