Ankang Village.
The sun was high in the sky, it was the busy farming season, and men, women, and children from the production brigade were all busy in the fields.
“Call it over and call it a day!”
The team leader shouted at the top of his voice, and the members who were working hard in the fields straightened up.
Lin Mengyao carried her daughter who was sitting in the field on her back. She was unwilling to give up the college entrance examination, which was the only chance for her to turn her life around, and secretly found Yin Xinyi.
In the grove, she lowered her head and pleaded, "Xinyi, please help me, considering I've done you a lot of good things before!"
Yin Xinyi wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked, "Do you really think the tutoring I've been giving you these days is useful?"
She didn't think she had taken much advantage of Lin Mengyao.
This was a matter of mutual consent. She took time out of her rest time to take extra classes, and in return she only got a relatively easy job.
But since Lin Mengyao gave birth to a daughter, Shen Chengyuan immediately gave her work points recording job to someone else.
Lin Mengyao felt a little guilty, her eyes evasive. "I...I admit that I didn't study very seriously before, but I still learned a little. As long as you are willing to teach me, I will definitely repay you when I get into university in the future!"
Yin Xinyi didn't care about what she said at all.
Because she can also get into college and make a name for herself!
"I also studied on my own. If you really want to take the exam, you can study on your own."
The news of resuming the college entrance examination has not been officially announced yet, but according to the habit of previous years, the college entrance examination is held in the summer.
Now that June was getting closer, she no longer wanted to be distracted.
Lin Mengyao only has some basic knowledge of learning, but she will be stumped if she encounters a question that requires a detour.
Moreover, in her opinion, even if Lin Mengyao started to study seriously now, the probability of passing the exam would be very low.
"Xinyi! Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you? Fine! I'll kneel!"
Lin Mengyao bit her lip, trying to blackmail her morally, and then she bent her knees to kneel down.
And in the bamboo basket behind her, her daughter's cry was shrill, perhaps because she was hungry.
Yin Xinyi finally softened her heart and held her arm to stop her. "I can't help you. Learning depends entirely on self-discipline. I can only lend you my study notes. The rest is up to you."
Lin Mengyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "Okay! Study notes are fine too. I'll definitely study hard!"
Yin Xinyi glanced at the bamboo basket behind her and said, "She must be hungry. Go feed her. I need to go back now."
Lin Mengyao's eyes reddened and she wiped away her tears, "I really envy you...at least you can have enough to eat."
"If only I hadn't married Shen Nanfeng, I would have preferred to stay at the educated youth camp..."
Yin Xinyi didn't feel any sympathy for him. She just said calmly, "Everyone has their own choices. There's no going back if you regret it."
Lin Mengyao stood there, looking at her resolute figure, and couldn't help feeling hatred. She was so pitiful, but Yin Xinyi was actually indifferent.
Even if it's just for the sake of the child, you could give her some food...
So cold-blooded!
···
"Doctor Song, I'll leave this matter to you! I'll definitely reward you handsomely later!"
In the ward, Wei Zhihe was forced by his father to stay in the hospital and rest for a while, which directly cut off his chance to find Zhong Xueyuan.
Song Qiao has been very busy these days because she was replaced by Song Caipeng. Today, she took advantage of her break after get off work to come and see the situation at the Ruan family.
Song Qiao took off her white coat and put on a well-tailored navy blue Lenin suit with a small and exquisite silver brooch pinned to her collar. She paired it with a pair of black straight trousers, which perfectly showed off her slender and straight legs.
Her jet-black hair was loosely tied into a bun at the back of her head, with a few strands of hair playfully hanging down around her fair neck, adding a touch of gentle charm to her.
"Comrade, don't worry, I will do my best to help you find this person."
She agreed without hesitation.
Wei Zhihe's heart was a little trembling. "If you really can't find Yan Tianhe, can you help me find out about my ex-wife?"
"Only you can help me!"
He deliberately emphasized the other person's importance.
The main reason why Song Qiao was willing to get involved in the Ruan family's affairs was because of Lin Ziqiu.
Zhong Xueyuan is Lin Ziqiu's sister-in-law. If Zhong Xueyuan is not doing well, Lin Ziqiu will definitely be distracted and stay to help her, so he will not think about returning to Su City.
Song Qiao nodded, "Okay."
Wei Zhihe never thought that one day he would find a woman he had only met a few times to help him with such a big favor.
But he knew very well that Song Qiao was not ordinary. If he could use her to find out about Zhong Xueyuan, he would simply be doing her a favor.
He is not a fool. Song Qiao's involvement in these matters must be related to Lin Ziqiu.
One is the real daughter of the Shen family who was lost outside, and the other is the fake daughter who was adopted.
At this moment, no one wanted Lin Ziqiu to return to the Shen family more than Song Qiao.
-
Song Qiao doesn't have any connections here, so she is hesitant to do many things.
She went to Yan Tianhe's house first, but didn't see him.
As Wei Zhihe said, she had no choice but to go to the military compound.
But there was still no sign of Yan Tianhe. She did not leave in a hurry, and the guards did not let her in.
Just as she was worrying, a voice sounded behind her.
"Doctor Song, why are you here?"
It’s Wei Yufei.
"Auntie? Are you discharged from the hospital?" Song Qiao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Wei Yufei should be at the end of her strength now.
Wei Yufei said: "Zhihe is in the hospital, I came back to get him some clothes to change."
"What about you? What are you doing here?"
Song Qiao said a little embarrassedly: "I want to visit my relatives, but... I can't get in."
"Do you have any relatives living in our compound? Who are they? I'll take you in."
Wei Yufei immediately took her hand and said, "I didn't expect that we are so destined to be together."
Song Qiao followed her and whispered, "You know her too, it's... Lin Ziqiu."
Wei Yufei's face froze, and the enthusiasm in her eyes instantly faded. "Why is it her? What kind of relative is she to you?"
Song Qiao quickly explained: "She is my brother's niece."
Wei Yufei's brain was thinking frantically, recalling the previous rumors about Lin Ziqiu's life experience, and suddenly she reacted.
"So, you...you are Shen Wufan's adopted daughter?"
Song Qiao was very sensitive to the word "adopted daughter," but she still had a warm and polite smile on her face. "Yes, my mother couldn't sleep at night because of Lin Ziqiu, and I couldn't help much. I happened to come here to exchange and learn, so I thought I would go and persuade Lin Ziqiu..."
Wei Yufei had a good impression of Song Qiao before, thinking that she had a good background, a gentle personality, and was caring.
But at that time, Song Qiao only revealed the identities of her father and brother.
She was adopted by Shen Wufan when she was very young. The Song family had few members, so Song Hongbo, Song Hui's father, always treated her as his own daughter.
She was also allowed to call him father.
When Wei Yufei heard that her father was the vice president of Soochow University and her brother was a leader in the architectural field, she was very satisfied with her.
"You are really a filial child, but Auntie advises you that Lin Ziqiu is not a good person. You should stay away from her and live your own life. Besides, she doesn't want to go back to the Shen family. Isn't it better for you?"
Wei Yufei couldn't bear to see Lin Ziqiu doing well, and she still held a grudge against her for bullying herself and her sister-in-law Ruan Cui at the doorstep during the flood.
Obviously, all that food belongs to Ruan Qing!
Song Qiao didn't expect that instead of looking down on her, she advised her. She felt indescribably moved for a moment.
Even though her adoptive mother Shen Wufan didn't want to drive her away because of Lin Ziqiu's matter, she was still uneasy.
Shen Wufan didn't ask about her feelings, but just ordered his brother Song Hui to do everything possible to bring Lin Ziqiu back.
She never cared at all about how embarrassing her situation would be if Lin Ziqiu went back.
Even if the position she occupied was Li Xiumei's, as Li Xiumei's daughter, how could Lin Ziqiu not regard her as a thorn in her side?
Can she have a good life?
"Auntie...thank you for telling me this, but my mother has raised me, and I just hope that her wish will come true."
Song Qiao's eyes were red, and Wei Yufei felt even more distressed for her. "Silly child, now that things have come to this, you should think more about yourself. If she really goes back, what will you do?"
"You are not young anymore. The most important thing right now is to find a good husband and marry him. That way you will have security."
Didn’t Song Qiao think so too?
But her identity was really embarrassing, not as good as the Shen and Song families, and she looked down on them.
But she couldn't even reach the best families.
"You're right, but fate is not something I can control..."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Song Qiao's eyes.
When Wei Yufei heard this, she became interested in him, but Song Qiao's status was not very good, and she could not be of much help to the Ruan family.
So she could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
The guard did not stop Song Qiao again.
Wei Yufei showed her the way, and she thanked him and headed towards the Zhong family.
-
Lin Ziqiu was eating dinner alone in the yard when he heard someone knocking on the door. He asked, "Who is it?"
Song Qiao cleared her throat and said, "It's me."
Lin Ziqiu didn't recognize her identity at first, so he stood up and opened the door. "What are you doing here?"
Song Qiao stood at the door. "Would it be convenient for me to come in and talk?"
Lin Ziqiu blocked the doorway and said, "It's inconvenient. I don't have anything to say to you."
Song Qiao was frustrated, but she didn't get angry. She caught a glimpse of a bowl on the table in the yard, which was enough to prove that Zhong Xueyuan was not there.
After these days, who knows, he might be hiding again.
"Xiao Qiu, I have no ill intentions. I came here today just to have a good talk with you. If you shut me out like this and the neighbors see us, it will be bad for your reputation, right?" But Lin Ziqiu didn't buy her trick at all.
With a bang, the door was closed the moment she finished speaking.
Song Qiao was immediately frustrated, and a hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
Fortunately, she didn't really come to find Lin Ziqiu, she just wanted to take the opportunity to see if Zhong Xueyuan was there.
Just as he was about to leave the compound, he bumped into Song Hui when he reached the door.
"Big... big brother."
Her heart was instantly in a panic.
Song Hui narrowed his eyes and immediately became alert, "What are you doing here?"
Ever since Song Qiao first met Song Hui after being adopted into the Xie family, she felt an inexplicable fear of him. No matter how carefully she tried to please and get close to him, she was always kept at a distance.
Her hands, hanging on either side of her thighs, unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes. "I... I have a patient staying here. I just got off work and was worried about her, so I sent her back."
"When did you become so concerned about a patient?"
Song Hui didn't believe what she said at all.
Song Qiao quickly explained, "Really, I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, I can take you to her house to confront her face to face."
Song Hui didn't have the time to verify the authenticity with her.
"You'd better know what not to do. She's not someone you can mess with. You'd better not appear in front of her."
Although he did not mention anyone by name, Song Qiao understood that the person he was talking about was Lin Ziqiu.
Song Qiao lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Brother, you don't have to be so defensive against me. If Mom hadn't been willing to adopt me, I wouldn't be living such a good life now. If Lin Ziqiu is willing to return to Mom, I'd be happy to see that too."
She pretended to be understanding and innocent.
Song Hui didn't believe it at all.
He only believed in his intuition. From the first time he saw Song Qiao, he saw greed and arrogance in her eyes.
She could have lived a peaceful life under her aunt's care, but she came to her to seek a sense of existence, to please her, and often pretended to be pitiful.
It made him sick.
Song Qiao might never know until her death that this was the reason why Song Hui hated and guarded against her.
"You'd better do as you say. If I find out you've done anything behind my back," he sneered, "you'll know the consequences."
Song Qiao didn't dare to look him in the eye, afraid that he would see something. She nodded rapidly, "Yes... I understand."
Song Hui glanced at her, then walked away with his companions.
It was not until she could no longer see his back that Song Qiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, covering her chest and trying to calm down.
She really didn't dare to think that if Song Hui knew what she was thinking, she would definitely be kicked out of the Song family.
Maybe she could act coquettishly in front of her mother before, and her mother would not drive her away, but now that Lin Ziqiu has been found, she is of no use at all in her mother's eyes.
There is only one possibility for Song Hui to appear here, and that is for Lin Ziqiu.
Fortunately, Lin Ziqiu didn't give her the chance to enter the house just now, otherwise she would have been caught red-handed. Judging from Lin Ziqiu's attitude towards him, Song Hui has been here for so long and still hasn't been able to deal with her, so he wouldn't be treated well if he went there.
This way, she can feel at ease.
