Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

"And what patience can outsiders have to take care of children?"

"Whether you eat or not, whether you're cold or hot, outsiders don't really care."

“I’ll help you take care of the child. When the child is older, I’ll go live with your dad.”

"And if you trust me, I can take the kids back and forth, staying with you for a while and then going to your dad's place for a while."

"They can come to see me too, it's alright."

"It's great that you got into university. You young people should just focus on your own things and we will support you as a whole family."

“You go to school, I’ll take care of the kids.”

With Chen Ying taking care of the child, Gu Shuhe was naturally at ease and went to school as soon as the semester started.

This wave of college students comes from all walks of life.

There are quite a few people like Gu Shuhe who are married and have children.

Therefore, Shuhe did not feel lonely at school and worked diligently every day.

In Shuhe's first year of diligent schooling, Shen Tingzhi got married.

The man also works for the government, and his parents are also government employees. They only have three children, so they are truly a perfect match.

At this point, only Shen Tingyu remained single in the Shen family.

Although Chen Ying lived far away in Haishi, she still managed to introduce Shen Tingyu to several potential blind dates.

However, Shen Tingyu did not agree to any of them.

Chen Ying was so angry that she cursed every day, "What a terrible thing to do! Aren't all the others better than that Jiang guy?"

"If you still don't like her, then what kind of person are you looking for?"

Shen Tingyu was also in pain. "I didn't look down on it. I just... just wanted to calm down for a while."

"Let's calm down for a while?"

"You've been calm for over three years now, and you're still calm?"

Shen Tingci, however, would advise her, "It's better not to pressure him about this. It's better to wait than to make the wrong choice!"

Chen Ying recalled something, and gradually gave up on explaining the matter.

I've decided to go along with Shen Tingyu's decision.

Everyone advised her, "When the time is right, you'll find your true love."

She later tried to convince herself in the same way.

Shen Pengfei jokingly told her, "It's great to have a college student in the family; you've become more understanding too."

Chen Ying rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, "That's better than following you."

Shen Pengfei just smiled and didn't argue with her.

When Gu Shuhe graduated from university, Shen Tingyu was still single.

Every day, Chen Ying comforted herself, saying, "It's not our time yet, it's not our time yet."

After Gu Shuhe graduated, Shen Tingci used his connections to find her a relaxed job at a newspaper.

Gu Shuhe wasn't very sociable, but she was diligent and conscientious in her work, which is why she became an editor at a newspaper.

She loves her job; she finds it meaningful and doesn't have to deal with too many people. She takes it very seriously.

Because she worked for a newspaper, Gu Shuhe naturally had access to some novels serialized in newspapers.

And I learned about comics.

Gu Shuhe was already very curious when she saw the serialized novel.

She felt that this thing was very similar to her paintings, only presented in a different way.

Later, after learning about comics, she realized that drawing such things could actually be published and sold for money.

Gu Shuhe wasn't greedy, but the thought of making money this way tempted her.

Instead of just thinking about it, she started drawing secretly at night and then submitted her work to publishing houses.

I didn't expect it to actually be approved.

They even sent her royalties, which were higher than her salary. Gu Shuhe immediately shared this good news with Chen Ying and the others.

Chen Ying was getting on in years and didn't quite understand, but she knew that her daughter-in-law was earning extra money in addition to her regular job, so Chen Ying was incredibly excited: "It's still good to study!"

"Look at you, you're a college student, that makes all the difference, Shuhe, you're amazing!" Chen Ying gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Shen Tingci also gave her a thumbs up; his wife was indeed very capable.

Shen Yunlan, who was about to start school, rushed to her mother and exclaimed, "Mom is amazing!"

Gu Shuhe was embarrassed by the praise, "I was just drawing casually for fun, I didn't expect them to actually want my work."

After she finished speaking, she excitedly announced, "Starting today, I will spend two hours drawing in my room every night after dinner to finish my story. The publisher said that they will send me a royalty payment when I finish it."

Chen Ying immediately assured her, "You're busy, you're busy, just focus on your own things and don't worry about Yunlan. I'll take good care of Yunlan for you."

"Thank you mom!"

Chen Ying waved her hand.

Although Shen Tingci didn't say anything, he never went to the room after dinner when Gu Shuhe was painting.

He would just quietly place some washed and cut fruit next to her.

She quietly washed the child's clothes and brushed the shoes.

Even Shen Yunlan knew that he should move quietly after dinner.

We recently got a new TV, and the kids' only fun after dinner used to be watching TV dramas.

Since his mother started working from home, he has been going out for walks with his grandmother.

Go to the nearby park to play with the other children.

Six months after Shen Yunlan started going to the park, he even learned to play chess from an old man there.

Later, during the Chinese New Year, Shen Pengfei was even able to play a couple of games with his grandfather, which made him incredibly happy.

Even when Shen Tingci told Gu Shuhe that after Yunlan went to school, he asked Chen Ying to go back, so that the elderly couple wouldn't be separated for too long.

Shen Pengfei disagreed, saying, "Taking good care of the child is the most important thing."

"The rest," he waved his hand, "is unimportant!"

"Besides, I'm about to retire."

“I’ll come here when I retire, then I won’t be separated from your mother anymore.”

Chen Ying has gotten used to spending time with her grandson and can't bear to part with him, so she says she wants to continue taking care of him.

Chen Ying said, "Shuhe is so busy with work and painting. If I don't help out here, how will you manage?"

Gu Shuhe said, "We mainly feel that it's unfair to you and Dad to be separated for so long."

Chen Ying waved her hand, "I'm too old for that, it's not important, it's not important."

And so, Chen Ying continued to raise the child alone.

Shen Tingyu found his girlfriend when his nephew, Shen Yunlan, was in first grade.

The other person is a teacher.

Divorced, with a three-year-old daughter.

They met when Shen Tingyu visited the school.

That day, Fang Sheng fainted in the welcoming line due to low blood sugar, and the school leaders felt like the sky had fallen.

However, Shen Tingyu did not hold the school accountable for the incident afterward. Instead, he asked with concern, "Is the female teacher alright that day?"

The principal quickly replied, "It's nothing, just a little low blood sugar."

The principal also gave a brief account of Fang Sheng's situation.

Fang Sheng is a very good girl, but she has bad luck. Her family introduced her to a man, and they got along very well before marriage.

But after they got married and Fang Sheng became pregnant, that man started to change. At first, he was just short-tempered, but in the later stages of her pregnancy, he even physically assaulted Fang Sheng.

Fang Sheng wanted a divorce from the beginning, but the man kept kneeling down and apologizing, and there were few divorces these days.

With her parents and relatives persuading her, Fang Sheng had no choice but to forgive him this time.

He was better for a few days, but the problem returned not long after.

This time, it even caused Fang Sheng, who was in her late pregnancy, to give birth prematurely.

Fang Sheng filed for divorce before she had even finished her postpartum confinement period.

The man naturally disagreed, and after a long commotion, they finally got divorced.

After that, Fang Sheng raised the child alone.

The principal sighed, "She's a woman, and raising a child is quite difficult for her, which is why she has low blood sugar."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tingyu simply said, "Our school still needs to do a good job of caring for teachers."

The principal nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

I thought that was the end of it, but who would have thought that Fang Sheng would come to thank Shen Tingyu.

"Director Shen!"

When Shen Tingyu got off work, Fang Sheng was already waiting outside.

“Teacher Fang,” Shen Tingyu said, though he used the correct title, his face showed confusion.

Seeing that Shen Tingyu recognized her, Fang Sheng's tense expression eased slightly. She handed the things she was carrying to Shen Tingyu, saying, "These are some food I made myself. They're nothing expensive. Please don't mind them, Director Shen."

Shen Tingyu glanced at it, his gaze falling on Fang Sheng's white knuckles, and he reached out to take it.

Fang Sheng then continued, "Thank you for what happened last time, Director Shen."

After she finished speaking, she bowed to Shen Tingyu.

Shen Tingyu offered a helping hand.

"You are welcome."

Fang Sheng smiled apologetically, "Thank you for not minding and for having the principal organize colleagues to donate to me and my child. Thank you for your kindness, but my daughter and I can still make ends meet, so I declined the donations."

Shen Tingyu didn't expect that when he mentioned the care and support work to the principal, the principal would actually interpret it as a donation.

Although he meant to solve some difficulties in life.

But it seems to be similar; a woman raising a child alone is most likely to be struggling financially.

After Fang Sheng finished speaking, she bowed again, "Thank you for your kindness."

She was about to leave after she finished speaking.

She came to explain because she was afraid it would affect the principal's work.

After all, the principal and her colleagues treated her well.

Everyone takes good care of her.

Although Fang Sheng is not short, she is extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Yet this seemingly frail person possesses a remarkable resilience.

As if by some strange twist of fate, after she turned around, Shen Tingyu called out, "Teacher Fang, please wait!"

Fang Sheng stopped in her tracks.

Shen Tingyu took out a pen and paper and left a phone number. "This is my office phone number. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can also contact me."

"And thank you for the things, I'll accept them."

He accepted the food, and Fang Sheng didn't chase after him to return the phone.

Later, Fang Sheng was assigned to attend a lecture at the bureau, where she met Shen Tingyu again.

That's how we gradually became familiar with each other.

Shen Tingyu was gradually drawn to Fang Sheng's resilience.

As he got to know her better, he discovered that Fang Sheng's excellence went far beyond her resilience. She was gentle, kind, and even after being deeply hurt, she still treated the world with kindness.

Her daughter is also very cute.

She is a well-behaved and sensible little girl.

She has two sweet dimples when she smiles, just like the ones on Fang Sheng's lips.

Shen Tingyu began to deliberately get closer to Fang Sheng.

Fang Sheng wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what Shen Tingyu meant.

But she lacked that confidence.

Shen Tingyu was handsome and a leader in the municipal bureau; she didn't think he had any reason to be interested in her.

It wasn't until Shen Tingyu told her, "I've also been divorced."

Upon hearing that he had also been divorced, Fang Sheng became very curious about the reasons for his divorce.

In this day and age, people are still very intolerant of divorce, especially of divorced women.

Fang Sheng felt that the woman would definitely not have taken the initiative to divorce unless she was forced to.

Therefore, Fang Sheng had no choice but to scrutinize Shen Tingyu.

After all, she had learned her lesson once, a lesson learned in acting, and her ex-husband was also a very good actor.

Coincidentally, Shen Tingyu also ran into his ex-wife, who was quite the actress.

Shen Tingyu didn't speak ill of Jiang Ruoruo directly, but he also didn't take the blame for anything.

He simply chose to tell Fang Sheng a story.

"I've been divorced for almost seven years."

“I haven’t dared to look for you again since then, but…” He gazed at Fang Sheng, “I want to give it a try with you.”

"Fang Sheng, are you willing?"

Fang Sheng was somewhat at a loss. "Will your family accept me?"

“I…I’m divorced and have a child.”

"I've been divorced too."

"But you didn't bring the child."

"But I will treat your children as my own."

Shen Tingyu brought Fang Sheng back to the Shen family.

Fang Sheng was prepared to be disliked, but she didn't expect the Shen family to be so easy to get along with.

Shen Pengfei only said a few words at the dinner table: "There's an old saying that second marriages mean two different hearts, but I believe that you've encountered bad people, so you'll know how to cherish each other more. Don't you agree?"

Fang Sheng and Shen Tingyu exchanged a glance and nodded.

Fang Sheng truly knows how to cherish things. She is already extremely grateful that the Shen family accepted her and her daughter, so when the Shen family asked her what she wanted for marriage, she shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"I believe that with my own hands and Tingyu's, we can make a good life for ourselves."

Despite her words, Shen Pengfei still prepared a wedding for the two of them.

There wasn't a grand celebration, but the necessary preparations were still made.

Fang Sheng got into the wedding car with tears in her eyes that day, along with her daughter.

She finally met her Mr. Right.

Six months after their marriage, Fang Sheng became pregnant.

As for Jiang Ruoruo, Shen Tingyu heard about her from his uncle and aunt when he returned to his hometown for the Spring Festival (the county where they had lived for more than 20 years). Jiang Ruoruo had remarried, but she still did not get pregnant and was divorced after less than two years.

Later, Jiang Ruoruo married a man who had a child and whose wife had died.

I heard she treated that man and his child badly.

But the man was not very capable, and considering her youth, he turned a blind eye to the child's situation and continued to accommodate her.

When Shen Tingyu heard Jiang Ruoruo's name again, his heart was no longer stirred.

Because he already has a happy family.

Because Fang Sheng is not a petty person and has a content heart, she has no objection to her mother-in-law taking care of her sister-in-law's child in Haishi.

She admired her sister-in-law Gu Shuhe very much. Not only was she a college graduate, but she also worked at a newspaper and could draw comics, earning two salaries all by herself.

Because Gu Shuhe earns two salaries, Fang Sheng felt it was perfectly normal for Chen Ying to help Gu Shuhe take care of the child.

As for Fang Sheng's later children, since she had no one to help take care of them after her divorce, she paid her neighbor's aunt to help take care of them.

That aunt was a kind person and treated her daughter very well.

Later, after she got married, it was still that same aunt who took care of her daughter.

When she had another child, she had her aunt take care of it as well.

So when Chen Ying asked if she needed to stay and help take care of the child, Fang Sheng refused, "No need, Aunt Xiang is a very thoughtful person. She has always taken care of Lele, so I don't mind."

Fang Sheng was easy to talk to, but Gu Shuhe felt embarrassed and insisted on helping to pay for the housekeeper.

But Fang Sheng refused to take it no matter what.

Gu Shuhe could only buy a lot of clothes and shoes for the child.

During Fang Sheng's winter and summer vacations, he invited her to bring her child to Haishi for a trip.

The two sisters-in-law have always gotten along very well because of their sense of boundaries.

Fang Sheng has always admired Gu Shuhe, his sister-in-law.

Because Gu Shuhe later became a well-known cartoonist.

Gu Shuhe's side story is finished!
