Yun Suisui stopped pouring water and narrowed his eyes with some confusion.

Who would come to see her at this late hour?

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, wrapped herself in a thick down jacket with long heels, put on her big rubber cotton shoes, and walked downstairs.

The light at the gate was quite bright, and I could vaguely see a person, one big and two small, standing under the light. Their figures looked very familiar.

When she got closer, she found that it was Shao Yunwen with Qu Pingping and Qu Xiaoguo.

She was so surprised that her pace quickened. "Sister Yunwen, why are you here?"

Shao Yunwen raised her head, her eyes were red, and there were traces of tears on her face, which was slightly red and swollen. She didn't know if it was because of the cold or what.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Yun, I really don't know who to ask. Can Pingping and Xiaoguo stay with you for two days?"

Except for the first time they met, Yun Suisui hadn't seen her so miserable for a long time, and knew that something must have happened.

So she said, "Of course, no problem, but what exactly happened? Let's go inside and talk."

"no need."

Shao Yunwen refused: "I won't bother you and Captain Gu anymore. Just take in the two children. I, I'm leaving first."

She was about to leave when Yun Suisui grabbed her and said, "It's the dead of night and there's no car. Where else can you go? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the two children. What if they get frozen while traveling outside in such cold weather? Come with me quickly!"

Shao Yunwen felt a little sorry when she saw her two children's faces red from the cold. Besides, if the children got sick, she couldn't really ask Doctor Yun to take care of them, as he already had two hungry children to feed!

She hesitated for a long time, but still went to the guard post with Yun Suisui to register and returned to the Gu family.

The dormitory room was not very big, and it looked even smaller after the three of them squeezed in.

When Gu Jun saw them coming, he understood. Without Yun Suisui saying anything, he packed up, got dressed, and prepared to go live with Wang Yong.

Before leaving, he took some candies and cakes that children liked to eat, and boiled two pots of water for Yun Suisui and the guests in case of emergency.

Seeing that he was obviously in a high position but still took good care of Doctor Yun, Shao Yunwen felt even more uncomfortable and tears fell again without her realizing it.

Yun Suisui didn't interrupt them and silently fed Qu Pingping and Qu Xiaoguo delicious food. After they had cried enough, she spoke softly, "Is it about the child's father?"

Shao Yunwen's eyes widened in surprise, but he soon smiled wryly and nodded, "Yes, he's back."

Shao Yunwen's husband Qu Cailin was once her father's student. When he was in school, he often came to visit their home and ask her father questions. When they met occasionally, they were embarrassed to talk and just smiled and nodded.

After a while, the two young people who often came into contact with each other developed feelings for each other and secretly got together.

Later, Shao's father found out that his student had good grades and was lively, so he did not stop him.

Then came the turbulent decade. Qu Cailin was the eldest in the family, and his only younger brother was in poor health. The Qu family wanted him, as the older brother, to go to the countryside to support the family.

But he finally got into college and became friends with his teacher's daughter. How could he agree to this?

Even if Shao Yunwen said she was willing to wait for him, people's hearts are fickle. Maybe she can wait for one or two years, but who can guarantee what it will be like after ten or eight years?

So he proposed to Shao Yunwen.

His action made Shao's father somewhat dissatisfied. He always felt that Shao was taking advantage of his daughter, so he never agreed to their marriage.

While the father and daughter were in a stalemate, Qu's parents had already registered their eldest son.

By the time the news reached Yan City, there was no room for maneuver. Qu Cailin had no choice but to go to the countryside.

Shao Yunwen was heartbroken and resentful. He hated himself for not being able to resist his father, hated Qu's parents for being partial, and hated his father for wanting to separate him and his lover.

On the day she sent Qu Cailin to the car, she was so sad that she fainted from crying.

But when she went to the hospital for a check-up, she found out that she was already three months pregnant!

Shao's father originally wanted her to take medicine to abort the child, but she refused and threatened that she would rather die with the child.

Looking at his daughter who was pale and emaciated, Shao's father softened his heart and compromised, and used all his connections to try to transfer Qu Cailin back.

However, the crackdown was strict at that time, and even though he did have some ability, he could only transfer Qu Cailin to the forest farm closest to Yan City, a round trip of 40 miles, which took nearly an hour by bus and donkey cart.

But this is enough. At least Qu Cailin can come back every time he takes a vacation and during the winter farming off-season.

It seemed that Qu Cailin knew that it was the teacher's help that got him transferred to the forest farm. Not only did she not resent Shao's father, but she was also overjoyed when she learned that Shao Yunwen was pregnant with her child. She proposed to him again and said that no matter how far apart they were, he would take good care of her and the child.

Shao Yunwen was deeply moved, and his father also felt that he was responsible, so the two got married naturally.

Because Qu Cailin was Shao's father's son-in-law, he received a lot of care in the forest farm.

Six years passed in a flash. During these six years, Shao Yunwen gave birth to Qu Pingping. Although the family did not have much time together, the couple loved each other and the family was harmonious, which made the neighbors envious.

Mr. Shao also forgot the unpleasantness in the past because of his son-in-law's filial piety for six years.

But they never expected that just after Shao's father retired due to health reasons and gradually lost contact with his old friends, Qu Cailin finally revealed his true colors.

Not only did he become increasingly impatient with Shao Yunwen and Qu Pingping, but he would also curse his mentor when he was angry.

Only then did Shao Yunwen realize that he had never forgotten that his father had disagreed with their marriage. He believed that his father was the culprit who caused him to suffer in the countryside, and was full of hatred towards her and her daughter.

The reason why he was patient and tried to please Shao's father before was because he thought Shao's father had the ability to let him return to the city. Now that Shao's father is on the decline, all his six years of pretending have been in vain. Wouldn't he be angry and embarrassed?

Until one time, he wanted to take his anger out on Qu Pingping. Shao Yunwen tried to stop him, but he pushed her down with force. Seeing blood all over his wife's abdomen, he was terrified and fled in panic. He never came back since then.

Qu Pingping cried and called back Shao's father who was collecting herbs, and only then did she save Shao Yunwen's life and barely save Qu Xiaoguo in her belly.

But Shao Yunwen could never believe that her husband, who once loved her so much, would become like that. After giving birth to the child, she went to the forest farm, only to find that her husband had been involved with another woman. The woman was so arrogant that she slapped her several times.

When Shao's father found out, he went to argue with them, but was humiliated and came back exhausted.

Shao Yunwen lost her father before she even finished her confinement.

Everyone knows what happened next.

I thought we would never meet again in this life, but unexpectedly, the man came back.

Yun Suisui narrowed her eyes. "Then why did Qu Cailin come back this time? There must be some purpose, right?"
