Shen Mianmian had been chatting with Li Chunhua, and Lu Siyuan had been silent the whole time. It wasn't until they said goodbye to Li Chunhua and left Zhao Family's village that he asked, "Was that person just now the village chief's wife?"
"Yes," Shen Mianmian nodded. "The village chief and his wife are really nice to me. They've taken great care of me. If it wasn't for their help, I might have dropped out of school."
As for why they didn't help her in her past life, Shen Mianmian didn't dwell on it at all.
In her past life, it was she who resigned herself to her fate. In her memory, when the Gu Family made trouble, the village chief did come over to talk about it, showing intentions to step in and help. However, Zhou Lanfang refused his assistance with the excuse that it was a family matter and none of his business, and sent the village chief away.
