Chapter 1 Going Home The train arrived two hours late. When Shen Wuqiu came out of the station, it was already getting dark. Rows of old minibuses and public buses were neatly lined up in the wide square. She knew without asking that the minibuses to town had already stopped running. She

So, after the examination, Shen Wuqiu asked the doctor to arrange an intelligence test for her.
The first item on the intelligence test was the classic sock-putting test, but unfortunately, the white cat was very uncooperative, scratching the doctor who was about to put a sock on her head and giving a fierce "Meow~~~~~"
So the first test had to be abandoned, and the doctor didn't dare to make a definitive conclusion about the cat's intelligence.
The second item was a toy test. The assistant brought out many toys, and the white cat seemed indifferent to them all. However, during the test, it did show some respect and found the little bell hidden behind the kraft paper.
The doctor gave it a score of seven in this test.
The third test was for Shen Wuqiu to take home and test it herself – the litter box test.
After the test, the veterinarian summarized: "Judging from her reaction, you don't need to worry about her intelligence. Although the first test couldn't be carried out, it's clear that she's a proud and intelligent girl. With proper training in the later stages of raising her, she will definitely become a top cat."
"Thank you." Shen Wuqiu wasn't worried that it was a stupid cat; on the contrary, she felt uneasy because the cat seemed unusually intelligent.
It was past four o'clock when we left the pet hospital. Spring weather is changeable; it was sunny in the morning, but now it was overcast.
Shen Wuqiu refused Shen Wujun's suggestion to take her around the mall, went straight to the shopping mall, bought what she needed, and then went home.
When the two arrived home, it was dinner time. At the dinner table, besides Su Yunzhi and Shen's father, there were also Su Yunzhi's two older brothers and sisters-in-law.
"Wuqiu, you've come back just in time. Come wash your hands and have dinner." Su Yunzhi was as warm and welcoming to Shen Wuqiu as ever in front of others.
As soon as Su Yunzhi spoke, her two sisters-in-law immediately looked at Shen Wuqiu with beaming smiles:
"Oh, it's Wuqiu! I almost didn't recognize her. I thought she was Junjun's girlfriend."
"It's been many years since I last saw you, you've gotten even more radiant."
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Shen Wuqiu smiled politely at them and said, "Uncle and Auntie are here."
Then she looked at her father and said, "Dad, you guys eat first, I'll go back to my room first."
“That won’t do. Since you’re back, let’s eat together,” Duan Xiao’e, Su Yunzhi’s sister-in-law, quickly said.
"No need to wait."
After greeting everyone, Shen Wuqiu carried the white cat upstairs. Fearing that people might misunderstand her, she put the white cat in the room and prepared to go back downstairs.
"Meow~~" The white cat wanted to follow it every step of the way.
Shen Wuqiu stopped her: "I'm going to eat now, I'll feed you later. You stay in your room obediently, okay?"
"Meow~" The white cat was not happy, but in the end it did not follow.
Seeing her awkward little face as she turned her head away, Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but turn back and ruffle her hair again, saying, "You're the best girl."
The white cat turned its head again, tilted its chin up, and looked at her, meowing.
"..." For some reason, at that moment, Shen Wuqiu thought of the white cat wanting her to kiss it.
However, what's even more unbelievable is that she actually kissed the white cat...
It's hard to say whether it was a twist of fate or an involuntary impulse.
"...I'm leaving." After the kiss, Shen Wuqiu, whose heart was in turmoil but whose outward appearance remained calm, closed the door and pretended nothing had happened. However, when she went downstairs, she was a little stiff and awkward.
At the dinner table, everyone was waiting for Shen Wuqiu to eat together. When she came down, Shen's father personally invited her to sit in the empty seat next to him.
Shen Wuqiu took her seat gracefully and, along with her father, invited everyone to eat.
Su Yunzhi's family was not well-off; otherwise, they wouldn't have married off this young woman to Shen's father as his stepmother.
After Su Yunzhi married into the family, her father always took good care of her two older brothers from her maternal family. Especially later, as they contracted more and more land, her two brothers continued to make a living under her father's care.
After Mr. Shen's illness was diagnosed, he had already discussed the distribution of his estate with Su Yunzhi beforehand.
One part is his savings and a 200-square-meter house in the city; the other part is the remaining years of use of the mountain forest and reservoir he contracted.
When Mr. Shen discussed this with Su Yunzhi, he was also careful. He said that he planned to give Shen Wuqiu the 2 million yuan fixed deposit and the house in the city, while the nearly 20,000 mu of mountains, forests, fields and reservoirs would be handed over to the mother and son.
Su Yunzhi had a lot to say about this, "I know you favor her and think it's not easy for her as a girl, but what about us, mother and son? I also know you think Junjun is bad at studying and has no future, so you want him to stay in this remote mountain village for the rest of his life."
This was exactly the result that Mr. Shen wanted. Others might not know how valuable the mountains, forests, land, and reservoirs he had contracted were, but he knew it himself. Deep down, he did favor his daughter Shen Wuqiu and genuinely wanted to leave the best for her.
After so many years of marriage, he had figured out Su Yunzhi's personality quite well: she loved to compare herself to others, was vain, and had a narrow mind.
Knowing that his wife had this personality, and that no matter what arrangements he made, she would think he was favoring his daughter, he deliberately told Su Yunzhi this in advance.
What he wanted was for Su Yunzhi to stop coveting these mountains, forests, and fields.
Su Yunzhi only cared about immediate gains, but her two older brothers thought further ahead. After all, they had worked for Shen's father for many years, and although they didn't have a specific estimate of the value of the mountain forest land that Shen's father had contracted, they had a general idea in mind.
They came here today to sound out Su Yunzhi.
After having a couple of drinks, Su Yunzhi's second brother couldn't contain himself any longer. "Brother-in-law, the rapeseed is growing very well this year, even better than last year's."
"Yes, thanks to your help." Perhaps because his daughter had returned, Mr. Shen was in good spirits all day, even though he had been lying in bed for several days.
Su Yunzhi's sister-in-law, Duan Xiao'e, chimed in, "Oh, you're too kind. If it weren't for your brother-in-law's help, we wouldn't be where we are today. But farm work, while it requires a lot of strength, also requires skill. Look, the rapeseed field my husband is in charge of is getting better and better every year."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Wuqiu again, "Wuqiu, you went to university, don't you think that makes sense?"
Shen Wuqiu swallowed the cabbage in her mouth carefully before replying, "Yes, you're right. Farming is a skill now; you can't just rely on strength."
“Right…” Duan Xiao’e then realized, “Those who do farm work can’t do it without strength.”
Shen Wuqiu just smiled and continued eating.
Duan Xiao'e didn't feel embarrassed at all and continued, "Brother-in-law, it's the busy farming season right now. You're not feeling well, so why don't you try having Junjun help out with some things?"
Hearing her words, Su Yunzhi's second brother, Su Zhongmin, chimed in, "That's right. Last year, a batch of trees were sold from Xishan. You said you wanted to set up an orchard this year. If we don't plant trees now, it might be too late."
Mr. Shen remained calm, put down his chopsticks, and said unhurriedly, "No rush. Once the town officials come to notarize it, we'll
