The kitchen was filled with smoke, creating a scene that seemed like a dream.

Just like before.

Aunt Niu almost thought she was seeing things and hallucinating.

She entered just after Feng Dafa.

The person inside then spoke with a smile:

"Dad, you're back too? You can wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Feng Dafa looked ten years older in the past month, with his temples already turning gray.

Upon suddenly seeing Liu Meihua, a hint of surprise appeared in his weathered eyes.

However, he quickly came to his senses and sighed softly.

"well."

Ah, it's good that you're back.

Hearing that her husband could indeed hear her, Aunt Niu finally felt a semblance of reality.

Since her son passed away, Liu Meihua has left with her unborn grandson.

Countless times in the dead of night, she dreamt of this kind of scene.

She was overthinking things.

The son is gone because of something he did wrong, but the daughter-in-law is still here. As long as she doesn't leave, there is still hope.

She can also take care of her eldest grandson in the future.

She was wrong before; she shouldn't have locked the person inside.

Thinking of this, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice choked with sobs: "Oh, oh, okay, let's eat. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

...

After the meal.

Aunt Niu hesitated to go back to her own room.

I was afraid that if I turned around, the person would disappear.

"I won't scold you anymore, and I won't control you anymore. Let's live a good life together and raise my grandson together. Don't worry, as long as your father and I have food to eat, you two will too. Let's live a good life from now on, okay?"

Aunt Niu held Liu Meihua's hand tightly, not daring to let go, and said with eager anticipation.

His words implied a fear that she might try to run away again.

Aunt Niu's gaze was so intense that Liu Meihua felt a pang of anxiety. She dared not look directly into the other woman's enthusiasm and quickly lowered her eyes to hide it.

But that's why they remained silent.

Aunt Niu was worried, thinking that Liu Meihua still had a grudge.

"Don't worry, I was wrong before. I'll never lock you up again. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

Then he carefully recalled what she had just said.

An eager explanation:

"I don't necessarily need a grandson. See, I was too quick to speak! Whether it's a boy or a girl isn't up to you. Boy or girl is fine! A granddaughter is just as good!"

"Don't worry, as long as you don't run away, even if we, the old couple, don't eat, we won't let you and your child go hungry."

Aunt Niu is now genuinely afraid that if she says anything displeasing, her daughter-in-law will run away again.

This time, she truly realized it.

If Liu Meihua is determined not to come back, she may never see her eldest grandson again in her entire life.

At least now that the person is by my side, there's still hope for the future.

Liu Meihua's smile was forced; she didn't dare to look Aunt Niu in the eye at all.

"Hehe, Mother, I know. This is my home, I'm not going anywhere."

Aunt Niu was relieved to hear this.

…

No one knew that Liu Meihua was very panicked.

If the baby were still alive, it would be three months old now.

But her child had long since turned into a pool of blood in those dilapidated huts.

When she returned this time, the two old men didn't hold it against her for running away.

They relied entirely on their long-awaited grandson.

If they find out...

She closed her eyes, afraid to think about what the consequences might be.

Life is good like this now.

Her in-laws were very kind to her, and she was provided with food and drink at home.

It's so much better than the days I spent wandering around!

But where is she going to find another child to put in her belly?

etc…

Stuff it into your stomach?

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

—

Township health clinic.

"She has a small amount of fluid in her chest cavity and some inflammation, but the situation isn't serious. Although your wife looks frail, she's actually in pretty good health."

I'll prescribe some medicine for her. Don't rush to leave after her injection; she can stay in the hospital for observation for the next couple of days. Once her fever subsides and doesn't recur, you can go home.

The female doctor looked at Yan Xiao, whose attention was entirely focused on his wife, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

Men like this are rare.

Yan Xiao didn't notice the female doctor's gaze; he just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay. Thank you, doctor."

Wen Qinghe is still asleep.

Yan Xiao took a handkerchief, wet it, and placed it on the little girl's forehead to cool her down.

He then sat down on the edge of the bed, held the little girl's hand, and waited for her to wake up.

This is a double room.

The other bed was empty, and the room was quiet as it was just the two of them.

There was a lot of noise outside the ward. He frowned slightly, worried that it would disturb the little girl's rest. He walked to the door and was about to close it.

As a result, Feng Tiezhu hurriedly pushed open the door and came in carrying a kettle and a porcelain basin.

His eyes were full of solemnity and hesitation.

"Brother Yan...is Sister-in-law...is she alright? Is she breathing...is she still breathing?"

Yan Xiao's face suddenly darkened, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The voice that spoke was as cold as iron.

What do you think?

Feng Tiezhu suddenly shuddered, first glancing at the person on the hospital bed whose face was still flushed from the fever.

Then she moved to the man in front of her who was on the verge of exploding.

He couldn't help but swallow.

He said awkwardly:

"Well, it's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright! Brother Yan, I was just talking nonsense! Don't be angry..."

He had just witnessed a family member causing a disturbance at a hospital outside, which involved a similar drowning incident.

He hurriedly came in to check, fearing that Wen Qinghe might have encountered the same situation.
