My Days Working and Raising a Child in the Modern World

From the shou's perspective:

Shen Shuyuan accidentally fell into another time and space and was saved by a kind, unassuming couple. Knowing nothing about this new world, she worked alongside the couple for three years.

Later, the couple died in an accident. Their one lingering concern was the daughter they'd left at home.

To repay them, Shen Shuyuan traveled nearly 1,800 kilometers, carrying the couple's ashes and belongings to their hometown.

The old mountain roads were hard to traverse. After making her way through wind and snow, she finally found the couple's home. As it happened, the people inside were arguing.

Shen Shuyuan listened for a while. The cold urn was unbearably heavy, and she made a decision: she would take the child away.

Fortunately, the girl was very well-behaved.

Unfortunately, the child fell in love with her.

From the gong's perspective:

At 14, Huai Zi's parents, who had been working away from home, died in an accident. Her relatives held a family meeting to decide what would happen to her.

Her eldest uncle said he was old, had a lot of grandchildren, and couldn't take care of a girl.

Her second uncle said the child needed to go to school and he couldn't afford to raise her.

Her third aunt had only just graduated high school and could barely look after herself.

As for her mother's family, they had cut off contact years ago. No one had seen them in ages.

Huai Zi hid in a corner, planning her way into the city. No one had gone to collect her parents' ashes yet.

The arguing continued, but someone quietly arrived outside.

The old wooden door opened. A biting wind and snowflakes blew in, while the brazier crackled inside.

A woman came in, folding her umbrella, her shoulders covered in frost and snow. Her lovely voice rang out clearly. "Hello. I've come to take Huai Zi home."

The sky outside was gloomy, and only the brazier cast a weak glow inside. The woman stood between light and shadow, but Huai Zi saw her clearly.

From that day on, someone new entered Huai Zi's world.

She called her Auntie.

She wanted her for herself.
