The beloved but ungrateful girl is reborn: This time she has truly changed.

Thinking of her parents' home, her eyes welled up with tears again.

In her past life, because Tang Aijun always said "a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup," she rarely went back to her parents' home, and she didn't even dare to go back to take care of her parents when they were sick.

Moreover, she never inquired about the huge debts her parents had taken on for her.

It wasn't until more than a decade later, when the policy was relaxed, that my parents, who had run a food stall for many years, were finally able to pay off their debts.

By then, her business had grown considerably, and she already had a six-figure net worth.

She had completely forgotten about this huge debt.

She wanted to slap herself again.

In this life, she will make amends to all those who have silently loved her!

However, she first needed to obtain a letter of introduction and money.

The letter of introduction can be obtained from my father or grandfather. Just say you're going to Shandong Province to visit relatives.

But how do I explain to them that I'm going on a long trip for no apparent reason?

Also, we need to find out the exact whereabouts of our daughters first.

Which county and village in Shandong Province is Tang Tiantian's hometown?

Did they bring it back to this village, or did they take it somewhere else?

How old are the two children now?

What's your name?

She knew nothing about it.

Just then, Tang Tiantian's deliberately lowered voice came from outside the door: "Brother, sister-in-law is acting strange today. Did she hear something?"

Tang Aijun's voice was also very low: "Probably not. He's probably just in a bad mood. Don't take it to heart."

"Why would I take it to heart?" Tang Tiantian said, feeling wronged. "I was just worried about my sister-in-law. The way she looked at me today...it was so scary."

Don't overthink it. She's probably just tired.

"Um... Brother, what's your decision about that matter?"

"Wait a little longer. The time isn't right yet."

"But I've waited for so many years..."

"Listen to me, wait a little longer."

Qi Weiwei held her breath and listened carefully.

That matter?

What's wrong?

Do they have other plans besides seizing her property and killing her family?

She quietly got up, tiptoed to the door, and pressed her ear against the crack in the door.

But the voices outside grew even lower, and only some indistinct fragments could be heard: "...The Qi family...the old man...his old face still holds sway..."

"...The machine factory...although every radish has its own hole..."

"...This is a rare opportunity..."

Qi Weiwei's heart sank.

They were indeed still eyeing the Qi family.

In his previous life, Tang Aijun climbed the ranks step by step by leveraging the Qi family's connections and resources.

However, the Qi family was destroyed and its members died because of her foolishness.

Can't wait any longer.

She went back to bed and pretended to be asleep.

Tomorrow, she will go back to her parents' home.

As for Tang Aijun and Tang Tiantian...

A cold glint flashed in Qi Weiwei's eyes.

Not urgent.

The atmosphere at dinner was strange.

Sun Xidi had a somber face, Tang Tiantian had red eyes, and Tang Aijun looked preoccupied.

Only Qi Weiwei ate her meal calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Sister-in-law, you have a good appetite today," Tang Tiantian said sarcastically.

Qi Weiwei didn't even look up: "Yeah, I'm hungry."

Tang Tiantian was speechless.

Sun Xidi sneered, "You're a reincarnated starving ghost! Eat, eat, eat until you die! And you even dared to pick the good food!"

Qi Weiwei pretended not to hear and continued eating.

What good dishes are there?

It was just mustard-dressed cabbage and pickled dried radish.

The two bastards each received half a salted duck egg, which was placed in their bowls early on.

For the adults, it was just mixed grain rice and those two dishes.

In her past life, she really didn't dare to pick up food with her chopsticks while eating.

Fuck it!

Qi Weiwei grabbed two large chunks of cabbage, specifically picking out the parts with the most sesame paste that hadn't been mixed in properly.

She needs energy; she has a lot to do next, and she can't starve herself just because she's angry.

After finishing her meal, Qi Weiwei took the initiative to clear the dishes.

It wasn't that she was diligent, but rather that she wanted to take the opportunity to hear what else the Tang family had to say.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the kitchen, Sun Xidi's hushed voice came from outside: "Aijun, your wife is getting more and more outrageous! She's even starting to glutton at meals! She's so passionate; if she dares to hit the child today, she'll dare to hit me tomorrow!"

"Grandma, don't be angry. Weiwei probably just acted impulsively. Yaozong and Yaozu are indeed a bit too naughty."

"A moment of impulse? I think she's gotten too big for her britches! Aijun, I've said it before, there's not a single good person in the Qi family! If it weren't for her grandfather being willing to give up this courtyard, would I have agreed to let you marry her?"

"Milk, please keep your voice down."

"What are you afraid of?! I'm going to say it! What is Qi Weiwei anyway? She's a cheap slut who throws herself at you! If it weren't for you earning a salary for her to spend, would she be living such a good life now?"

Qi Weiwei was in the kitchen, clutching a dishcloth tightly until her hands started to ache.

It turned out to be the case.

From the very beginning, the Tang family came for the house left by their grandfather.

No wonder Sun Xidi couldn't wait to move in after getting married, and no wonder Tang Tiantian also wanted to "stay" there.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Now is not the time to be angry; anger will not solve any problems.

After washing the dishes, Qi Weiwei returned to her bedroom.

Tang Aijun was already sitting at his desk reading when he saw her come in. He looked up and said, "Weiwei, let's talk."

Qi Weiwei sat down on the edge of the bed: "What are you talking about?"

I know you were wronged today.

Tang Aijun put down his book, walked over and sat down beside her, and took her hand.

"But children need to be disciplined gradually; you can't rush it. Besides, didn't your hand hurt when you used such harsh methods?"

It's the same old routine again.

A slap followed by a sweet treat.

If this were her past life, Qi Weiwei would have been moved to tears, feeling that her husband still cared about her.

But now, she just feels nauseous.

She withdrew her hand: "I understand."

Tang Aijun stared blankly at his empty palm for a moment, then said, "By the way, I might have to go on a business trip to the south next month. The family is in your hands now. Please take good care of Tiantian and Grandma for me, and don't make them angry again."

On business trip?

Qi Weiwei's heart stirred.

In her past life, Tang Aijun did indeed frequently "go on business trips," and each time he returned, he would bring her small gifts, which always moved her deeply.

Looking back now, those "business trips" were probably just rendezvous with Tang Tiantian, right?

He's just a propaganda officer, why is he always going on business trips?!

Perhaps he and Tang Tiantian have other "love nests"?

A thought suddenly occurred to her.

"How long will it take?" she asked.

"About half a month," Tang Aijun said. "The factory values ​​this opportunity highly. If you perform well, you might get promoted when you come back."

Qi Weiwei sneered inwardly.

It really was a business trip?!

But, promotion?

Was it brought forward?

In his previous life, Tang Aijun climbed the ranks from propaganda officer to section chief, then to deputy factory director, and finally to director of the Housing and Construction Bureau by repeatedly demonstrating "good performance".

Every step they took was over the bones of the Qi family.

"That's good," she said casually.

Tang Aijun looked at her and felt that his wife was too calm today, so calm that it made him uneasy.

He tentatively asked, "Weiwei, are you hiding something from me?"

Qi Weiwei looked up at him and asked, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Tang Aijun stared into her eyes, trying to discern something from them.

But Qi Weiwei's eyes remained calm and unfathomable, revealing nothing.

"It's good that you're alright," he finally said. "Go to sleep early."

Qi Weiwei barely slept that night.

As the past surged and churned, she also sorted out some of the things that would happen next.

As dawn approached, she quietly got up and began packing her things.

A few changes of clothes, some daily necessities, and that Shanghai brand watch.

She hid all her money and tickets in a pocket close to her body.

Then he wrote a letter, intending to send it to his third sister before leaving home.

In the letter, she told her third sister not to send any more food, that she was doing well now, and that her third sister should take good care of herself.

She even asked her third sister if she had borrowed money from the brigade secretary's family, and how much she had borrowed.

I told her not to borrow any more money, and that she would find a way to pay back the money she had borrowed before.

She didn't know if this letter could change her third sister's fate, but it was the only thing she could do now.

Its daybreak.

Qi Weiwei got up as usual and made breakfast.

Sun Xidi and Tang Tiantian hadn't gotten up yet, but Tang Aijun had, and was sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

"I'm going back to my parents' home today."

As Qi Weiwei ladled out the porridge, she spoke casually.
