Yun Xiaohu and Yun Xiaolei are a pair of twins, childhood friends of Yuan Chun, one year younger than her, currently in their senior year of high school. They are also the nephew and niece of Director Yun of the food factory.

They graduate next year, haven’t found a job, and are sent to the countryside as educated youth. Until Yuan Chun’s death, she never saw them again.

After her death, Yuan Chun’s soul followed Lin Baoshan to the food factory, where she heard workers mention them.

It turned out that Yun Xiaolei was targeted by the village team’s captain’s son just after arriving in the countryside and was married off to him through despicable means. Later, the village captain’s wife similarly forced her dim-witted daughter to marry Yun Xiaohu.

The Yun siblings were confined in the village for years, unable to step out and often forced to write home requesting money and goods.

It wasn’t until the 80s, when other educated youth in the village gradually returned home, that the Yun family learned their two children had been imprisoned.

Director Yun immediately went with the police to the village to rescue his nephew and niece.

Only after enduring years of mental and physical torment, the light in Yun Xiaolei’s and Yun Xiaohu’s eyes was gone forever. Yun Xiaolei, after being brought back, died in desolation after a few years.

Yun Xiaohu lived out his life in loneliness.

The siblings’ tragic end was as bitter as Yuan Chun’s.

Yuan Chun looked sympathetically at the Yun siblings and said, "Xiaohu, Lin Baoshan will be fired tomorrow, and the factory will have an opening for a temporary worker. It’s just one spot, which I reckon will be recruited internally. You should go to Uncle Chen to sign up. If you get hired, you won’t need to go to the countryside next year."

Uncle Chen, who is Chen Ming, is responsible for recruiting new staff in the administrative department.

Yun Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, "I haven’t graduated from high school yet." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yuan Chun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Isn’t that easy? Go talk to your teacher. From now on, just go to school to take exams, but not for classes. When you start working, you can take leave for the exams. This way, work and study won’t get delayed."

Yun Xiaolei’s eyes lit up, smiling, "Brother, Sister Yuan Chun’s suggestion is viable. I’ll go to school tomorrow and request a morning off for you. You can go to Uncle Chen to sign up for the interview. If you get hired, you’ll have a job and won’t need to go to the countryside anymore."

"But... what about you?" Yun Xiaohu hesitated, "Xiaolei, you’re graduating next year too. If you don’t find a job, I still want to accompany you to the countryside. I heard many educated youth are bullied by locals once they get there, some even forced to marry local rascals. You’re so pretty and naive; I’m worried about leaving you alone. I fear you’ll be taken advantage of."

Yun Xiaohu never imagined that in a past life, he went along, yet Yun Xiaolei was still exploited, forced to marry that village captain’s rascal son.

And he was forced to marry a foolish woman.

Although, he never had any intimate contact with that foolish woman, these experiences inflicted damage he couldn’t erase, even when he became a wealthy and influential entrepreneur. He preferred solitude over marrying for a happy life.

"Xiaohu, you don’t need to worry about Xiaolei. When you two graduate next year, I’m also due to give birth. At that time, Xiaolei can take over my duties temporarily, and people won’t say anything."

Xiaohu’s eyes were filled with joy, "Yuan Chun, you... you’ll really let Xiaolei take over your duties?"

"Brother, that’s not the point. Sister Yuan Chun, are you pregnant?"

And it’s with that scumbag’s child.

Yun Xiaolei was furious, "Sister Yuan Chun, with how that scumbag treats you, you still plan to have his child?"
