The thought alone brought a sour sting to Zhang Mei’s nose. Not too long ago, the Gu family was prosperous and envied by many, including the Gong family, their in-laws. Many sought to ingratiate themselves with them, but now, their circumstances were pitifully desolate.

Zhang Mei was still unwilling to accept this reality. At times, she couldn’t help but wonder if things would have been better if Gu Zi and Lin Miao hadn’t been switched back.

After all, she had heard that Lin Miao had been living quite well these past years. Gu Zi, on the other hand, was indeed more capable, able to bring honor and glory to the Gu family. It seemed that Gu Zi was more suited to stay with the Gu family.

However, the sight of Lin Miao’s inconsolable state that day made Zhang Mei feel guilty for harboring such thoughts. Even if the Lin family had treated her well, it was nowhere near the conditions the Gu family could offer Gu Zi. What good would it do?

In the end, it was their families’ mistake of swapping the children that led to this disaster, causing Lin Miao to suffer. They owed Lin Miao an apology.

Zhang Mei felt her husband was right. They should seek out the Lin family, and ask Lin Miao’s foster parents to speak on Lin Miao’s behalf. Whether it was to make up for their debt to Lin Miao or to salvage the Gu family’s reputation, they should go…

Meanwhile, at the Su family home in Daqing Village, the family had just finished dinner and tidied up. They were each engaged in their post-dinner activities. Gu Zi was nestled on the living room sofa with Lele, telling her a fairy tale.

Initially, Su Bing and Su Li were also listening in, but when their training time arrived, they were called out by their dedicated instructor, Su Shen. They were now in the yard practicing horse stance while listening to Su Shen explain new training techniques.

“The set I just demonstrated is the basic moves of Sanshou boxing, which you must master…”

Su Shen, dressed in an army green vest, stood tall and imposing, his face stern. He was the embodiment of military discipline. Su Bing and Su Li looked up at their towering father, their hearts filled with admiration, but also guilt.

Their father was an excellent soldier and should have remained one. Yet, he had chosen to retire and return to Daqing Village to take care of them.

Neither their father nor their mother was their biological parent, but they treated them better than any biological parents could. What more could they ask for?
