CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: THE SHEN FAMILY CHANGED OVERNIGHT

The mother and son were also escorted off the train. The authorities wouldn’t just let those who caused such a massive disturbance go free.

As the man was packing up his belongings, the woman looked weakly at Yunyi and spoke, "Sister, could you leave us a contact address?"

Yunyi naturally knew what she meant, but they were just strangers who met by chance, and she disliked trouble the most. "I’m a youth sent to the countryside, and I don’t know exactly where I’ll end up. Helping each other out when away from home is only right; really, there’s no need to worry about it."

Thinking of the couple’s expressions when they learned she was pregnant, she reminded them, "During pregnancy, it’s important to maintain a relaxed mood; it’s good for the baby."

Hearing Yunyi’s words, the woman was extremely grateful. "Sister, I will remember what you’ve said."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the train reached the station and came to a stop. A conductor came over to help them with their luggage, and Yunyi stepped aside to give them space.

The man picked up the woman. "Girl, my name is Gong Baotong, and I work at the security department of the Beijing Steel Plant. My wife’s name is Xie Juanzi. We will always remember your kindness today and will repay it."

Gong Baotong was now solely focused on his wife and the child in her womb, paying no heed to anything else. He knew someone at the Educated Youth Office and planned to ask them for help in locating Yunyi once he was back in Beijing.

Yunyi didn’t take it to heart. "Our meeting is fate, and lending a hand is only natural. Hurry and get off now, as the train probably won’t stop here for long."

The woman, pale-faced and feeble, looked at Yunyi. "Sister, I hope we can meet again."

Yunyi smiled and nodded at her. With so many people in this vast world, what are the chances of that?

After the couple got off, many passengers in the carriage were stealing glances at Yunyi, surprised that such a diminutive girl could possess such abilities.

After all the commotion, it had gotten dark outside.

Yunyi made herself a cup of Malt Essence with Spatial Well Water and drank it before preparing to continue her grand enterprise of lying down and doing nothing.

But perhaps because she had slept too much during the day, or because of the events that had unfolded, she couldn’t fall asleep. She decided to explore her space with her consciousness.

As soon as her consciousness entered the space, she was captivated by the vibrant green.

The watermelon seeds she had planted and watered with Spatial Well Water had already grown vines half a foot long, while those planted with tap water from the outside world were also showing tender sprouts.

She was delighted beyond measure. While it couldn’t compare to the spaces in her previous lives, she was very content.

She planned that once she settled down in her new place, she would definitely find a way to acquire various seeds to cultivate within the crevices of the rocks, confident that her days in the countryside could also be pleasant.

Currently, she was like a skilled housewife who couldn’t cook without rice—she had no grains. Thinking further about it was futile. Not wanting to waste more time outside, she went straight to the stone house.

After Yunyi left, the Gu and Hua families joined forces with other families that held a grudge against the Shen Family and found plenty of evidence of the Shen Family’s transgressions. Soon, all the Shen Family’s other properties were seized.

It turned out just as Yun had guessed: those two properties were indeed filled with ill-gotten wealth.

Those Shen Family henchmen who had intended to flee became the very daggers that brought about the family’s downfall. They caught the Shen Family descendants off guard, and from these henchmen, even more secrets about the Shen Family were extracted.

The sons of the Shen Family couldn’t figure out what went wrong or how their world had turned upside down overnight.

It’s often said that if you walk the night roads frequently, you’re bound to encounter ghosts; do enough despicable deeds, and retribution will eventually come.

The members of the Shen Family would soon scatter and find new places to settle, completely becoming a thing of the past.

As for the Sun Family on the other side, they were in an even greater state of chaos, with everything turned upside down.
