Shen Jingyue was surprised for a moment, and then she took out the letter inside.

Looking at the sender's address, it turned out to be from Shanghai, and it was addressed to her.

Haishi was the original owner's maternal home; her mother passed away two years after giving birth to her younger sister.

Less than a year later, her good father married a widow with a child.

The moment that widow entered the house, her and her sister's good days came to an end.

Her stepmother was two-faced; she treated her sisters incredibly well in public, and everyone in the neighborhood praised her. Even her father thought she was a good stepmother.

But when no one was around, when her father wasn't there, the woman dumped all the housework on her and her sister.

When the father returned, these tasks fell to the daughter brought by the stepmother.

Her father even said that she and her sister were not as good as the children her stepmother brought over.

Whenever the original owner tried to explain, her stepmother would always change the subject and threaten her, both openly and subtly.

They said if she didn't obey, they would sell her and her sister.

The spot for going to the countryside clearly belonged to her stepsister, but her stepmother threatened to marry her off if she didn't go.

The original owner was a timid person, and she knew that if her stepmother married her off, she definitely wouldn't find a good family.

In the end, she had to talk to her father in person about her decision to go to the countryside.

On the day I went to the countryside, my younger sister kept crying and begging to go with me.

But her younger sister was only thirteen years old at the time and still needed to go to school. How could she bear to let her sister go to the countryside to suffer?

Shen Jingyue opened the letter.

The letter was sent to her by her younger sister. It was all about how she was doing and how she was dropping out of junior high school this year and wanted to go to the place where she had been sent to work in the countryside to find her.

Shen Jingyue also learned from her own memories that her younger sister loved studying and had always had good grades.

She had previously said that she was determined to get into high school like her and finish high school.

Now he's writing a letter saying he won't continue his studies after junior high; there must be something going on here.

"What's wrong, honey? What did the letter say?"

Qin Xiang'an noticed his wife looking thoughtful as she read another letter and asked her about it.

"This is a letter my sister wrote to me. She said she will drop out of junior high school this year and come to the place where I was sent to work in the countryside to find me."

She hadn't told her family about her marriage, so the original owner's family didn't know she was married.

"So, what are your plans, wife?" My wife is no longer in the place where we went to work in the countryside.

If my wife's younger sister is going, then I must write a letter back to inform her.

The original owner and her younger sister had a very good relationship, and the younger sister treated her older sister very well.

Whenever they have something delicious, they think of each other and then secretly share it in a secluded spot.

"I plan to go back sometime. My dad married a stepmother when I was nine years old. That stepmother is two-faced, and I'm worried that something might happen to my sister."

If nothing else happens, my sister definitely won't say she doesn't want to study.

"Then I'll take leave and go back with you. Come to think of it, we've been married for almost a year, and I haven't visited your home yet."

Qin Xiang'an spoke somewhat cautiously, unsure if his wife would be willing to go back with him.

"Okay, but can you take time off then?" Shen Jingyue asked with a smile.

She'll be going back then, and she'll definitely need to bring the child with her. It'll be good to have Qin Xiang'an with her; he can help her take care of the child.

And he's right, they're all married and have children.

I definitely need to take him home to meet people.

When Qin Xiang'an heard that his wife had agreed, a feeling of joy welled up in his heart.

"No problem, I'll just talk to my boss about it."

"It's definitely not going to happen right now. The Qin family is coming. We'll send them away when they arrive."

If he leaves in the next few days, the Qin family will come over and spread rumors about her all over the family compound.

Neither of those two, mother and daughter, is any good.

They definitely didn't come here with good intentions. I'll take this opportunity to cut off all ties with them to avoid having to deal with them again in the future.

"I'll write a letter to my sister tomorrow. Could you mail it for me while you're at work?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Alright, let's eat first, or the food will get cold."

Shen Jingyue picked up her chopsticks again and started eating.

"Wife, aren't you going to read this letter?" Qin Xiang'an sat down as well.

"It was sent by the newspaper. I'll read it after I finish eating."

"By the way, before you came back, Company Commander Tan helped me a lot, and your comrades even helped our family build a toilet last time."

"Now that I'm out of confinement, why don't you invite everyone over tomorrow night and we'll cook a nice meal to welcome them?"

Previously, she was either pregnant or in her postpartum period, which made things inconvenient.

Now that I'm out of postpartum confinement, I should treat her to a nice meal.

"Sister Lu and Sister Wang also took good care of me. They stayed outside while I was giving birth, and they came to help me during my postpartum period. They even made chicken soup for me. I really have to thank them."

"Okay, leave this to me. You've just finished your postpartum period, so you shouldn't overexert yourself. Tomorrow I'll have the auntie from the canteen cook a nice meal for us and send it over."

His wife had just finished her postpartum confinement period, and he couldn't let her work so hard all by herself.

He has to go to work, and he doesn't have much time to cook that many dishes after get off work.

It would be better to pay some money and ration coupons and ask the canteen aunties to help with the cooking.

We can just send something to the aunt over there as a thank you gift.

Shen Jingyue frowned. "Wouldn't this be inappropriate? It would make us seem insincere."

She wanted to make it herself, because when you invite someone to dinner, you have to be sincere.

"What's the big deal? As long as there's good food and meat, isn't that enough to show sincerity? Don't worry, they're all roughnecks, they won't care about these things."

"I get off work too late, and I can't bear to let you cook so many dishes by yourself. Just listen to me."

Qin Xiang'an couldn't let his wife get tired.

"Alright then, we'll need more meat. You men all have big appetites, so we'll need to prepare more vegetables."

"Do you have enough money? If not, I'll give you some."

After the wardrobe and dressing table were delivered last time, Qin Xiang'an gave the remaining money to Uncle Daji.

So he gave her all his savings and assets.

At first, she thought that Qin Xiang'an had sent all the money home and didn't have much money on him.

To my surprise, when I looked at his bank account, there was more than four thousand yuan in it.

This amount of money was considered a huge sum at that time.
