When Yu Cuiyu went to the restroom, Yi Roujing went out as well. She was a mother now and couldn’t stand seeing children suffer. "Boss, drinking more milk powder can make a child grow strong. Do you want to send a few packs to Xiaocao?"

Yu Cuiyu gave a wry smile, but before she could speak, Yi Roujing continued, "I have some tickets here, you can use them first, Boss."

Looking at the two milk powder coupons Yi Roujing handed over, how could Yu Cuiyu not be tempted? "If I give them to Xiaocao, then Baozi..."

"Boss, let me be blunt too, Baozi is my son. Wouldn’t I prepare for him first?" Yi Roujing said seriously. "Everyone cares most about their own child. I’m only providing within my means. You can use them without worry, Boss."

Yu Cuiyu smiled, her eyes reddened, "Roujing, then I won’t be polite with you. Consider this as a loan from you, I’ll return it once I can."

"Yes, yes, taking care of the kid’s health is the priority," Yi Roujing said with a smile.

With the milk powder coupons, Yu Cuiyu went to the Department Store the next day at noon to buy milk powder, then went to the post office to send the two bags of milk powder along with the preserved meat Yi Roujing gave to her hometown, accompanied by a letter. Her husband was literate and would definitely know when he read it.

"Comrade, hello, can you tell me, how do I get to Jing University?" As soon as Yu Cuiyu stepped out of the post office, she was stopped by a girl with yellowed hair and a dark complexion with a faint hint of plateau red. Her cotton clothes and pants were all patched but at least clean and decent-looking.

"Walk straight down this road and turn right at the end, then keep going forward, and you will see Jing University’s gate on your right," Yu Cuiyu said. "You can also follow me. I’m from Jing University."

The girl looked somewhat surprised, then delighted. "What a coincidence. Sister, can I ask you, is there a Zhang Mengdi in the Jing University Medical Department?"

Yu Cuiyu was astonished, "Yes, we’re classmates."

The girl became more excited, "Can I trouble you to help me see her? I have something very important to ask her. Oh, we’re from the same place."

"You’re from the same place as Zhang Mengdi?" Yu Cuiyu glanced at the girl. She did seem to have a bit of resemblance to Zhang Mengdi. "Might you be sisters?"

"Sort of," the girl smiled shyly, her hands instinctively twisting together, showing her nervousness.

"By the way, what’s your name? Although I’ll lead you there, I need to tell Zhang Mengdi first. She needs to know so she can come out to see you," Yu Cuiyu said.

"I...," the girl showed a bitter expression on her face, "just tell her that Mili’s mom is here."

Yu Cuiyu realized this girl was a woman with a child, her eyes softened considerably, "You have a daughter?"

The girl nodded.

"I also have a daughter." Yu Cuiyu said, feeling quite pleased, her smile deepened a lot. With two bags of milk powder sent over, her Xiaocao should become a bit sturdier.

The girl looked at her with surprise, "You have a daughter and still attend Jing University?"

Yu Cuiyu was momentarily stunned by her words, then she laughed, "Of course, many people are already married with children, but it does not become an obstacle for us to seek knowledge. On the contrary, it’s a motivation. Only by improving ourselves can our families become better."

The girl listened, dazed, but then gave a bitter smile. Even knowing so, she still couldn’t come to study.

Yu Cuiyu brought the girl into Jing University. The girl couldn’t take in enough with her eyes, looking here and there, exclaiming in amazement, so this is Jing University.

Zhang Mengdi had now moved to Dorm 308, just two rooms away from her original dorm. Probably because of what happened in Dorm 305, Zhang Mengdi was relatively low-key in Dorm 308. She didn’t take advantage of others or gossip too much; instead, she got along quite well with others.

As a result, when new roommates asked, Zhang Mengdi vaguely revealed a lot about Yi Roujing and others, wronging people, flattering, spending a lot of money carelessly, whose kid is so precious to need such good clothes, and so on...

Zhang Mengdi spoke with grievance, and some roommates were angry, thinking that the people in 305 were blinded by money, but others expressed jealousy, wishing to have a generous roommate so they could also benefit.

"Knock, knock—" "Zhang Mengdi."

In the dorm, Zhang Mengdi, speaking pitifully yet feeling satisfied, shuddered at the familiar voice, frightened of speaking badly behind others’ backs.

Zhang Mengdi opened the door and immediately saw Yu Cuiyu, "What’s up?"

"Someone’s looking for you, asked me to help call you," Yu Cuiyu said truthfully. "Saying they’re your fellow townsfolk."

Zhang Mengdi showed suspicion, "My mom and the others have all gone back. Who would be here looking for me?"

"You’ll know once you go see them," Yu Cuiyu said, "Oh, by the way, she said she’s Mili’s mom."

Zhang Mengdi’s eyes widened incredulously, her face suddenly drained of blood, turning pale. Yu Cuiyu found it odd, having seen that young woman without such intimidating presence. How come Zhang Mengdi seemed scared?

"Did she say anything else?" Suddenly, Zhang Mengdi seemed hysterical, staring intensely at Yu Cuiyu.

The people in the dorm, seeing Zhang Mengdi suddenly change in demeanor, were somewhat frightened.

"She didn’t say much, just mentioned her daughter. Oh, and asked about having a kid and going to university," Yu Cuiyu, startled by Zhang Mengdi, reflexively answered truthfully.

Zhang Mengdi took a terrified step back, then grabbed Yu Cuiyu’s sleeve, clutching it tightly, "Where is she? Where is she? What else did she say..."

"Zhang Mengdi." A strange yet distinctly familiar voice called her name. Looking up, a figure almost unchanged from memory appeared before her. It was indeed her.

Zhang Mengdi watched her come out from Dorm 305, biting her back teeth to suppress a shudder, "What are you here for? What have you said?"

"Mili is sick and currently hospitalized, in Jing City Central Hospital."

"Zhang Meng... Zhang Mengtian, let’s talk outside," Zhang Mengdi regained some calmness upon hearing this, signaled to Zhang Mengtian, who turned and left first, and Zhang Mengdi followed in a somewhat flustered manner.

"What’s going on?" Yu Cuiyu was rather puzzled.

Yi Roujing watched Zhang Mengdi walk away quickly, feeling a bit strange. How come Zhang Mengdi seemed so afraid of that Comrade Zhang Mengtian, filled with panic and guilt?

"Boss, what’s the relationship between that girl you brought and Zhang Mengdi?" Gong Jue’e asked curiously, "Why does Zhang Mengdi have the expression like she’s seen a ghost?"

"Cough, cough—" Ren Xuejuan coughed and glanced at Gong Jue’e. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Although the special period had passed, it was still a transitional period, and one needed to be cautious. It was better to talk less about superstitious topics.
