"No way." Tang Mingli refused to believe it, they were so happy when they were together.
Tang Yue looked at him suspiciously, "Uncle, you don’t still have feelings for... her, do you?"
"No." Tang Mingli denied, and seeing her disbelieving expression, he laughed helplessly, "Your uncle isn’t that kind of person. Besides, she’s already married, even has a child. Don’t worry, your uncle has no intentions of breaking up someone else’s family."
"Even if you wanted to, she wouldn’t be with you." Tang Yue said unceremoniously.
Worried about hurting her uncle, Tang Yue quickly added, "Uncle, such a woman isn’t worth your dedication, nor is she worth waiting for. In the future, we’ll earn lots and lots of money, buy houses, and luxury cars. You will definitely meet someone who truly loves and understands you."
"She won’t despise you for not having money, she’ll only care if you both truly love each other." Tang Yue earnestly said, "Uncle, you deserve someone better."
"Really?" Tang Mingli was incredibly touched by Tang Yue’s passionate words.
No one knew that his love for Qi Yufei was real. He truly wanted to work hard to earn money for her and give her a better life. He had dreamt countless times of their wedding, but in his midnight reveries, it was always Qi Yufei heartlessly breaking up with him.
No matter how much he pleaded, Qi Yufei’s every word pierced his heart, crushing his hope bit by bit.
Over the years, he thought he had forgotten her, but today, when Qi Yufei appeared before him, his heart was in turmoil.
"Of course it’s true. In my heart, uncle, you’re the best. Stop thinking about it, it’s getting late. We need to rush to get the clothes to the stall to make more money, to buy a house." Tang Yue interrupted his thoughts. Only by immersing oneself in busyness can one forget the pain.
"Uncle, if you’re tired, go home for a rest. I’ve got this." After a busy morning, Tang Mingli looked very weary. She took the initiative and said, "Uncle, health is the capital of revolution. You’ve done well enough these days. I’ll take care of the stall this afternoon. Don’t worry, I assure you I won’t mess up the money."
Tang Yue pretended to be playful.
Tang Mingli smiled lightly. He had a great fondness for this niece who wasn’t related by blood. He could hardly remember what the quiet and reticent Tang Yue used to be like. Now, she always had a sweet smile, and those clear, bright eyes were completely different from her previously hostile gaze.
"Uncle, you need to go stock up on goods tomorrow, so go get some sleep," Tang Yue urged.
Tang Mingli didn’t feel tired originally, but thinking about stocking up tomorrow and going to the Provincial City at midnight, he worried about getting less sleep and didn’t dare to sleep on the bus, so he didn’t refuse.
After several trips to stock up, Tang Mingli had found a truck driver. He would go to the Provincial City at midnight, hitching a ride on the truck, and then return by coach. This way, he saved a night’s stay and quite a bit of bus fare.
Every time they restocked, Tang Yue had to sort out the clothes, usually starting from when Tang Mingli returned and staying busy until almost dark, before returning to school.

Tang Yue had just taken her books and sat down, planning to sunbathe and memorize her textbooks when someone took the seat next to her.
"What are you doing?" Tang Yue turned to look at Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu naturally raised the book in her hand, "Studying."
