Xu Weiwei is very beautiful and tall, with fair skin and big eyes. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry at such a young age through singing.

He entered the entertainment industry partly to make money, and partly to seek revenge.

However, deep down, Xu Weiwei was more interested in Granny Ma's mysterious techniques.

Alas, Granny Ma was unwilling to teach her, which made Xu Weiwei very disappointed.

From a distance, Xu Weiwei could see Granny Ma watering the vegetable garden, wearing a worn-out straw hat, her body even more hunched than before.

"Grandma Ma, Grandma Ma, Weiwei is here to see you," Xu Weiwei said cheerfully, carrying her things and running over quickly.

Grandma Ma put down the water ladle in her hand, looked up, and saw Xu Weiwei running towards her.

Grandma Ma smiled when she saw Xu Weiwei. She had never had any children in her life, but she never expected that in her old age, she would have such a well-behaved and filial girl by her side.

"Slow down, don't fall," Granny Ma said with a smile, her voice a little hoarse but very peaceful.

"Grandma, Weiwei's here to see you. Hurry home, I'll help you water the plants later," an old man said with a smile. Xu Weiwei rarely comes, and he hoped that Grandma and Xu Weiwei would get along well.

"No need, I can go back after I finish watering this bucket," Grandma Ma said with a smile, waiting for Xu Weiwei to come over while continuing to water the plants.

By the time Xu Weiwei reached Granny Ma's side, the watering was already finished.

"Uncle Qi, we're going back now." Xu Weiwei said goodbye to Uncle Qi next door, carrying a bucket of water in one hand and some things she brought from home in the other.

"Go back now, I'll pick a watermelon and bring it to you later," Uncle Qi said with a smile. Neighbors often exchange produce from their fields.

"Thank you, Uncle Seven," Xu Weiwei said gratefully, and went home with Granny Ma.

Grandma Ma lives in a two-story building at the end of the village. It used to be where Xu and her daughter lived, and now Grandma Ma lives here.

"Weiwei, what brings you here?" Granny Ma asked. She had heard that Xu Weiwei was now a somewhat famous singer and must be very busy participating in various programs.

Xu Weiwei smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, no matter how busy I am, I must come to see you often! When I'm in a bad mood, seeing you makes me feel better."

Hearing this, Granny Ma looked at Xu Weiwei and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing..." Xu Weiwei said. "Oh, by the way, Grandma Ma, I brought lots of delicious food, and I also bought you a new outfit. Let's try it on when we get back and see if it looks good?"

Seeing that Xu Weiwei wouldn't say anything, Granny Ma could only suppress her curiosity for the time being.

When the two returned home, Xu Weiwei quickly fetched water for Grandma Ma to wash up, then took a blue dress from her bag and said, "Grandma, try this on. If it doesn't fit, I'll go back and change."

"This color is so pretty, I'll go inside and change," Grandma Ma said with a smile, taking the clothes inside.

Xu Weiwei watched Granny Ma go into the house to change her clothes. When she saw the door close, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion and struggle.

But when she thought of the deep-seated hatred her father mentioned in his letter, Xu Weiwei's eyes regained their clarity.

We cannot be soft-hearted. If we cannot avenge our father, he will die with regrets, and our mother will live in constant remorse.

"The size is just right, I like it very much, isn't it beautiful?" Grandma Ma came out of the house, raised her arm, and let Xu Weiwei take a look.

Xu Weiwei smiled and said, "Hehe, it looks really good. Granny Ma looks ten years younger."

"Hehe, you have such a sweet tongue," Granny Ma laughed. "Alright, you rest for a while, I'll go make stewed chicken. Those chickens are ones I raised myself, they taste especially good."

"Thank you, Grandma Ma," Xu Weiwei said gratefully. "You cook, and I'll help you tidy up the house."

"What a diligent girl," Granny Ma praised, and then went to kill the chicken and slaughter the fish.

Xu Weiwei wasn't idle either; she took a rag and helped Grandma Ma clean up the yard.

In a corner of the yard, Xu Weiwei saw some small jars, small cages and the like.

Just as Xu Weiwei was about to step forward to clean up, Granny Ma, who was not far away, said, "Weiwei, you don't need to do this. It's poisonous. You might get bitten."

Those were the things Granny Ma needed to cultivate Gu worms. She had taught Xu Weiwei some basics before, but not the advanced stuff, so Xu Weiwei didn't know how to handle them.

"Grandma Ma, you can teach me, so I can help you with your chores," Xu Weiwei pleaded, eager to learn these things.

She wouldn't use it to kill; she only wanted to use it for revenge, and she wouldn't indiscriminately kill innocent people.

Grandma Ma looked at Xu Weiwei with a meaningful expression and said with a wry smile, "Weiwei, my past life may have seemed very prestigious, but it was actually full of dangers. I only hope that you can live a peaceful and healthy life. I don't want you to learn these things and get involved in any trouble."

Xu Weiwei lowered her head and said, "Grandma Ma, actually I want to learn these things. I think they're useful to me."

"I use snake gall to nourish your voice. Your singing career is going very well now, why do you still want to get involved with these filthy things?" Granny Ma asked rhetorically. The reason she was unwilling to take on apprentices was that she did not want her secret techniques to be passed down and cause people to die.

Xu Weiwei looked up, her face already streaked with tears.

“Grandma Ma, I know you mean well, but my father and my family were persecuted to death. As his daughter, I want to avenge him,” Xu Weiwei said. In her heart, from her mother’s words, Xu Weiwei didn’t know she was an illegitimate child. Instead, it meant something else entirely: her father sent her and her mother to Hong Kong to protect her.

That's why Xu Weiwei wanted to avenge her father.

Granny Ma's face turned bitter upon hearing this, and she said, "Hatred can blind people. If I were to advise you to let go of your hatred, you certainly wouldn't listen."

“Yes, my father was very pitiful,” Xu Weiwei said. “He was such a good person, and now he died with his eyes wide open in anger. As his daughter, I cannot forget the hatred.”

"Sigh!" Granny Ma sighed and continued to clean the chicken feathers off her hands.

Xu Weiwei walked to Granny Ma's side, looking at her pitifully like a little girl.

Granny Ma felt uneasy under Xu Weiwei's gaze, and finally said helplessly, "Alright, let me think about this matter first."

"Thank you, Granny Ma." Xu Weiwei was excited; as long as she considered it, there might be hope.

Xu Weiwei wiped away her tears and helped Granny Ma kill chickens and fish. While Granny Ma was cooking, she cleaned the place inside and out.
