Chapter 307 The Pretty Widow 25

Once things here are resolved, the day to go back should not be far away.

Now Chu Yuan is waiting for accurate news about when Wen Ke can be discharged from the hospital and when she can meet him openly.

However, what she didn't expect was that she saw Assistant Wang again downstairs in the guesthouse three days later.

"I'm sorry, Miss Chu, your application to see Mr. Wen was not approved. After hearing about it, Mr. Wen asked me to buy you a train ticket back to Dongshi for the day after tomorrow."

Chu Yuan took the ticket from his hand and looked at it. It was a sleeper car, which was much more comfortable than standing for more than ten hours when she came here. Wen Ke was quite considerate.

"What about Mr. Wen? When will he return to East City?"

Assistant Wang shook his head and said, "Mr. Wen is not going back. It was originally because of health reasons that the higher-ups decided to send him to East City for recuperation.

Mr. Wen's health has recovered a lot now. He has applied to participate in the research of a confidential project and will stay in Beijing for a long time in the future."

This result was somewhat unexpected to Chu Yuan, but it did seem like something Wen Ke would do.

I didn't expect that after all the effort I put into curing him, I ended up sending him to Beijing.

But this was Wen Ke's choice, and Chu Yuan could only accept it: "Does this mean that I will never see Wen Ke again?"

"Sorry, Miss Chu." Wang Yang also felt very sorry about the result.

Originally, I thought that since Chu Yuan came all the way to Beijing, he could at least meet Mr. Wen, but this was a decision from above, and both he and Mr. Wen had to obey.

"Okay, then I'll go back the day after tomorrow. Please tell Wen Ke that I hope we can meet again one day."

......

After Chu Yuan returned to East City, he resumed his previous life.

The gifts brought back from Beijing were very much loved by the two children. After school every day, many children would come to the house to play ball with Xiang Song and Xiang Bai.

Chu Yuan simply leveled the vegetable patch in the yard, installed a basketball hoop and a football goal, and turned his yard into a simple playground for the children to play on.

This action also made Chu Yuan's reputation as a spendthrift spread throughout the neighborhood. He didn't use the good vegetable fields to grow anything but useless things.

Chu Yuan's attitude was to close the door and ignore it. It's okay. Didn't they say she was a spendthrift? If you have the ability, don't let your children come to her house to play.

Rumors are sometimes easy to deal with. Although she can't control those who gossip, there are people who can control them.

The kids don’t understand what it means to be a spendthrift or not. They only know that because their mother said bad things about Chu Yuan, they can’t go to the Song family to play ball anymore. So they have to go back and have a big fight with their parents.

Chu Yuan didn’t care whether those people were crying out of pity for the children or simply because they found their crying too annoying.

If you want your child to come to her house to play, you have to apologize to her first.

Just before three days had passed, someone came to the door. It was an auntie who lived in the next alley. She loved to visit people everywhere with a handful of melon seeds and gossip.

She was holding a basket of vegetables in her hand and said, "Aunt Xiangsong, I was wrong a few days ago. I shouldn't have followed those gossipy old women and talked nonsense. You are a magnanimous person, so please don't take it to heart.

My child has been crying and making a fuss at home these days, and he insists on playing with that ball. Do you think you can let him continue to play with Xiang Song and Xiang Bai?"

Chu Yuan had not forgotten the mean look on this man's face a few days ago. Now he was the first one to bow his head to her. It seemed that her child was making a big fuss.

This was originally a matter between adults, and Chu Yuan didn't want to involve the child. Without friends coming to play at home these days, Xiang Song and Xiang Bai were not as happy as before, so she quickly relented: "Okay, then let him come over after school."

Chu Yuan felt a lot better when he saw that the person who once hated him now had to apologize to him in a nice voice.

Later, several more families came, but Chu Yuan did not care about any of them who apologized proactively.

She was very busy every day and had no time to take care of these trivial matters. Unless someone came in front of her to bother her, Chu Yuan would generally ignore them.

The day after she came back from Beijing, Zheng Jianming from Xinhua Bookstore came to her and said that he needed her to translate some materials.

Chu Yuan took a quick look and found that most of the providers of these information were people she had met before at Wen Ke's house. It seemed that even though Mr. Wen was in Beijing, he did not forget to introduce her to a job.

The price of these materials is 10 yuan per thousand words. According to Zheng Jianming, they are confident in her translation skills. The only requirement is expedited work, and basically the translation manuscript should be received within a week.

Now Chu Yuan stays at home every day and has plenty of time. She would certainly not refuse such a good opportunity to earn hundreds of dollars in a few days.

Within the scope of his ability, Chu Yuan took on three manuscripts and translated them in the order in which they were submitted.

Recently, except for the time for eating and playing with the two children, Chu Yuan locks himself in the room to work.

These three manuscripts brought her a total income of more than 400 yuan. At this rate, she will soon become a millionaire.

The days passed quickly in this routine way. In the blink of an eye, Xiang Song was old enough to go to high school. Xiang Bai also graduated from elementary school two months ago and was admitted to Dongshi No. 1 Middle School.

Chu Yuan has not been idle over the years. Due to her outstanding translation skills, the work she gets here is no longer limited to paper.

A few days ago, she accompanied a delegation from East City to Hai City to attend a trade fair. In this team, she also met an old acquaintance.

It was the officer Xu Lifeng whom I met on the train.

He actually retired from the army and is now running a private business. He is one of the first people to try something new in this era.

Chu Yuan admired his courage very much. It was said that he gave up the opportunity to make further progress in the army and resolutely chose to go into business. This choice is not something that ordinary people can make.

However, Chu Yuan's work had nothing to do with his, so the two of them just greeted each other hurriedly and went about their own business.

Xu Lifeng was also surprised to meet an old friend here. In fact, when he came back from his hometown, he wanted to ask someone to inquire about Chu Yuan's news.

However, one wrong step leads to another. On the first day he returned to the army, he was sent to carry out an urgent mission.

When he came back, Chu Yuan had already stayed to work for Mr. Wen. Her news had been deliberately covered up, so Xu Lifeng was destined to return empty-handed.

The rest of the story is rather clichéd. It is nothing more than that Xu Lifeng could not resist the demands of his parents and the persuasion of his leader, and married the wife who was most suitable for him at the time.

This unknown secret love had to end abruptly.
