A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling

Yun Shu was relieved to hear this. After thinking for a moment, she ran back to the educated youth settlement and got two of her old clothes and some coarse grains. Then, for the first time, she went to Xiao Hu Zi's house openly.

After all, everyone in the brigade headquarters donated grain, and as the announcer of Fengsheng Brigade and a member of the brigade leadership, she was naturally no exception.

Of course, they couldn't be too eye-catching or out of place, so Yun Shu had to go through a lot of trouble to find these two old clothes.

She had been drinking spiritual spring water to shape her body during this period, and all her measurements except for her bust were two sizes smaller than before, so the two clothes she brought from Beijing no longer fit her.

In addition, the fabric of this garment is not precious. She used to wear this when she was working. When she went to the mountain to cut tree branches, her clothes and pants were torn. Therefore, Yun Shu patched it up with several patches, which is quite in line with the characteristics of the times.

And then...and then she stuffed it into the closet and never took it out again.

Now, it would be perfect to have Little Tiger's grandma alter the clothes for the little girl, making her a cotton-padded coat or pants.

There's no need to worry about them disliking it or anything like that.

……

When they arrived at Xiaohuzi's house, his grandmother, as expected, didn't argue with Yunshu. She accepted the gift with a smile and even told the little girl, whom she had renamed 'Xiaoyun,' to quickly thank Yunshu.

The little girl, who seemed unusually obedient and well-behaved around the old lady, quickly put down her broom and ran over to bow and thank Yun Shu after hearing her grandmother's words.

The girl bowed so deeply that she almost folded herself up. Yun Shu was stunned. While marveling at the girl's flexibility, she quickly helped her up.

Seeing that her eyes were noticeably calmer than yesterday, Yun Shu smiled and patted her head, saying with some relief and surprise, "That's great! Little Yun, your name sounds just like mine. I also have the character 'Yun' in my name. We're so destined to be together!"

Xiaoyun didn't answer, but only glanced shyly at Yunshu before lowering her head, her small, dark, and rough face turning bright red.

Seeing this, Xiaohuzi's grandmother seemed even more gratified. She took Xiaoyun's hand and explained to Yunshu with some embarrassment.

“Xie Zhiqing, you’ve heard Xiaoyun’s name, haven’t you? To be honest, Xiaoyun is the new name I gave this child. Her name used to be Zhaodi, which was given to her by her parents.”

“She didn’t want that name anymore, so she asked me to come up with a new one. I thought of you and Lin Zhiqing… so I gave her this name. Her formal name is Xiaoyun, and her nickname is Jingjing.”

"I hope she can be like you and Lin Zhiqing, knowledgeable and kind, and capable of living a good life."

"Even if you don't get much, just a few points is enough. Then go to school and study, make yourself a decent person, and don't be a piece of mud that's trampled on the ground for the rest of your life. Instead, be a free little white cloud floating in the sky and find peace in your heart."

Hearing these words, Yun Shu was somewhat surprised, and suddenly her eyes reddened. She looked at Xiao Yun, who had already started working again. She couldn't see Xiao Yun's whole expression, but she saw her tightly pursed lips... and her pale fingertips.

So she must have been happy inside, happy that someone treated her with such simple and genuine affection, with expectations only for her own sake, instead of treating her as... a slave who existed only for her brother.

Yun Shu suddenly felt a pang of emotion, and also a little embarrassed. It turned out that she and Jing Jing had become someone else's source of emotional support and role models for their lives.

Are they really that good? In the 21st century... she was as ordinary as could be.

She was never the "other people's child" that other parents talked about. She lived and worked in an orderly manner, and her life was so uneventful that there was not a single ripple.

How could anyone take her as a role model or a goal?

Won't she really affect the little girl's life? She's saying the opposite.

Yun Shu suddenly felt extremely uneasy and became quite anxious, although she didn't know why she was so anxious.

When Xiaohuzi's grandmother saw Yunshu suddenly fall silent, she wondered if Yunshu didn't want others to have the same name as her, and she suddenly became a little uneasy.

She hesitated for a moment, wanting to apologize to Yun Shu and then say that she would change Xiao Yun's name immediately. Unexpectedly, before she could even speak, Yun Shu seemed to have suddenly seen the light and smiled at her.

"I think these two names are great! They couldn't be better!"

For now, at least they think she's good, and that's enough. And later... she'll make herself even better!

……

In any case, Yun Shu's words reassured Xiao Hu Zi's grandmother.

Xiao Yun, who was still keeping herself busy, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After sweeping the floor and wiping the shelves, she even ran out to get Yun Shu a handful of wild fruit.

Yun Shu took the firewood and gave a few pieces to Xiao Yun and Xiao Hu Zi, who had come in carrying firewood. Then she continued chatting with Xiao Hu Zi's grandmother.

“When her parents were taken away by the brigade leader and Director Lin last night, they kept cursing at her and saying they didn’t want her anymore… I heard that and I thought, if they don’t want Xiaoyun, I will.”

“I told the brigade leader yesterday, and he didn’t disagree, but he just told me to wait a little longer.”

"Sigh, I'm afraid those two bastards will find another excuse to bully Xiaoyun after they get out, and won't treat Xiaoyun like a human being!"

Well… Yun Shu couldn't do much about it. After all, legally speaking, Xiao Yun's parents were indeed her legal guardians. Xiao Yun was still a minor, and they weren't dead, so the guardianship couldn't be changed easily.

Even if things were to change, it would have to wait until Xiaoyun grows up, finds a job and moves her household registration out, or she reports her parents for abuse before they could possibly sever their relationship.

That's the case, at least in the city.

It's hard to say now.

Fortunately, things are different in the countryside than in the city. Things like adoption and giving away children happen from time to time. The brigade leader didn’t say it couldn’t be done. He just told her to wait. Yun Shu felt that the brigade leader might want to and be able to make this happen.

Thinking of this, Yun Shu comforted Xiao Hu Zi's grandmother.

“There’s always a way out. Didn’t the brigade leader tell you to wait? Besides, even if we take a step back, Xiaoyun’s parents can’t bully Xiaoyun now. Once they get out of the solitary confinement, they’ll have to take care of Xiaoyun’s younger brother.”

"Even if they really do revert to their old ways and try to exploit, bully, and abuse Xiaoyun, you can ask the captain and Director Lin to lock them up again. I think they'll probably 'figure it out' on their own, and that'll be about it."

Hearing Yun Shu say this, Xiao Hu Zi's grandmother also felt that it made sense. Looking at Xiao Yun eating wild fruit with Xiao Hu Zi, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Xie Zhiqing, you’re right. Then I’ll wait a little longer.”
