Some of the children even resembled her a bit and matched Tang Qiushui’s disappearance criteria closely, yet the paternity test results were still negative.

She didn’t know if she could actually see the light at the end of the tunnel this time.

After experiencing some things over and over, one becomes numb to them.

"You definitely will," said Fang Hongyu, "Auntie, after you and uncle have been searching for so many years, heaven won’t fail those with determination."

"Hmm."

Fang Hongyu narrowed her eyes subtly, "Auntie, I’ll go get ready then. You keep chatting with Aunt Jin."

Lv Tang stood up to follow Fang Hongyu’s steps, "Grandma, I am going to help my mom."

"Okay," nodded Fang Youling.

A few steps away, Lv Tang clasped her mother’s hand. She couldn’t hide the smile at the corners of her mouth, "Mom, this is great! That old hag is finally leaving!"

After speaking, Lv Tang voiced her concern with a bit of worry, "Mom, you don’t think that person from East City could really be Tang Qiushui, do you?"

Fang Hongyu’s face showed not the slightest trace of worry, "Don’t worry, she couldn’t possibly be Tang Qiushui."

Looking at her mother’s expression, Lv Tang seemed to want to ask something, but in the end, she didn’t ask anything at all.

South Street.

During lunchtime, Zhao Cuinong handed Lin Guixiang an advertising flyer.

Lin Guixiang asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"It’s a driving school advertisement," Zhao Cuinong said, "I’ve checked it out, this driving school is very close to our shop, it’s convenient for you—it’s just a three-minute bike ride away."

Lin Guixiang took the flyer and pondered for a moment.

She had thought Zhao Cuinong was only talking the talk, but she hadn’t expected that Zhao even inquired about the driving school’s address.

Lin Guixiang put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhao Cuinong, "Cuinong, should I really go learn to drive?"

"Why not learn?" Zhao Cuinong said, "It’s not a big deal! Besides, once you have a driver’s license, it will be convenient for you to travel elsewhere for work."

Beauty Chant was expanding more and more, so once they started opening branches outside the province, wouldn’t she need to travel for work?

Lin Guixiang said, "I’ll ask Xiao Wu."

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up her phone and sent Lin Wu a WeChat message. Although she could read now, for convenience’s sake, she sent a voice message instead.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think about mom getting a driver’s license?"

Lin Wu’s reply was almost instant, [I think it’s a good idea, it would be more convenient for you if you had a license.]

Hearing the notification of a reply, Zhao Cuinong said with a smile, "Xiao Wu must have said getting a driver’s license is a good idea, right?"

Lin Guixiang was surprised, "How did you know?"

Lin Wu had replied with a text message.

Laughing, Zhao Cuinong said, "Great minds think alike! Big sister, you see Xiao Wu also said so, how about we go have a look at the driving school this afternoon? If it seems good, we can sign you up?"

Lin Guixiang was initially hesitant, but with Lin Wu’s support, she no longer felt burdened and said with a smile, "Alright."

That afternoon, after handing over the shop’s responsibilities to the new manager, the two went to the driving school.

The tuition fee was five thousand six hundred.

And they offered automatic transmission training.

Once the instructor completed the enrollment procedures, he advised Lin Guixiang, "Sister, you should review the questions for the theoretical exam back at home, and then I’ll arrange for you to take the test next Friday. What do you think?"

Lin Guixiang, looking well and about thirty-something years old after a period of convalescence, betrayed no hint of her true age.

Smiling, Lin Guixiang said, "Call me ’Auntie.’ I’m almost forty."

"Forty?" The instructor was quite surprised and quickly glanced down at Lin Guixiang’s information, "I would have never guessed you were thirty-eight!"

Lin Guixiang looked at the instructor and continued, "Today is already Wednesday, and you’ve scheduled my exam for next Friday. Is that enough time to pass?"

Before the instructor could speak, Zhao Cuinong said, "Big sister, don’t worry, the theoretical part is quite simple. Just revise the questions a few times when you’re at home."

Hearing this, the instructor nodded, "Your sister is right, the theoretical part is generally quite straightforward. Don’t worry. Once you pass that, you can come to the driving school for the practical training."

"Okay."

Leaving the driving school, Lin Guixiang still felt somewhat surreal.

Just a few months ago, she was a village woman who knew nothing.

And now!

She was about to start learning to drive.

For the old Lin Guixiang, it was something beyond her wildest dreams.

The journey thus far felt just like a dream.

Glancing at Lin Guixiang, Zhao Cuinong tentatively asked, "Big sister, was Qiangzi a naughty kid?"

"Quite naughty," Lin Guixiang said with a fond smile, remembering the past, "I remember once he and Gui Mei stole watermelons from Second Uncle’s plot and ended up being chased all over the village by him."

Continuing, Lin Guixiang said, "Actually, Second Uncle wasn’t really trying to punish them. He just wanted to teach them that if they wanted watermelons, all they had to do was ask him, and he would’ve given some to them. There was no need to steal."
