"Don't you dare!" Tian was anxious and hit him on the chest. "Besides the clinic, Qiaofeng is also in charge of the ginkgo paste business over there. If it were someone else, would Sister Jian be able to trust her? Don't say that, okay?"

"Besides," Tian continued, "Sister Jian and Brother Youtian can't stay here forever. They will have to go back to the capital sooner or later. Why would I worry about having no one to discuss things with? Just don't forget us mothers. I'm not as weak as you think. The kindness you've shown me over the years is enough to support me in raising several children. You don't have to worry about daily expenses. Not to mention the winery we jointly own, even if it's gone, as long as you're diligent and have your hands, you can survive."

Ma Fuquan's chest was filled with anger and anger after hearing her words. He was listening to Jian Ning telling him that he did not die over there but became a vegetable, Wu Juan had been taking good care of him, and there was hope that he would wake up and return to the modern era. He was in a dilemma and couldn't let go of either side.

He could imagine the difficulty of caring for a vegetative patient. And then there was his daughter, whom he had never held since she was born, let alone given her a single ounce of fatherly love. He imagined Wu Juan having to work to earn money while caring for him and their daughter in bed. The fatigue on her face, the sadness in her eyes, seemed to be seared into his heart.

He is really a jerk!

If Wu Juan had ignored him, he might have felt better, but she took care of him silently and tirelessly, which made him extremely uncomfortable. His conscience felt like it was being roasted on a raging fire, and the feeling was truly torturous.

He had originally thought that Tian would have a big fight with him, but it turned out to be a completely different story. Tian actually gave him peace of mind. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt guilty towards her. If he had known this would happen, he would have…

Alas, Ma Fuquan sighed secretly, it was meaningless to say these things now.

How can I have the best of both worlds, without disappointing the Buddha and you?

In the yard, the Ma brothers were very happy. Ma Xiaomi and Ma Xiaodou were at the age when they did not know the taste of sorrow. Following Dabao's lead, Ma Xiaomi also focused on studying and did not care much about other things. He just thought his mother was crying for joy.

My brothers were playing with spinning tops in the yard. Nowadays, many children in the capital are playing with them. Yan Chao has Qianqian Che, which is similar to a spinning top, but it is not made to spin by whipping on the ground, but is played on the table.

Once, Ma Fuquan saw Ah Man bring a Qianqian car to Dabao to play with, so he made a spinning top for Dabao and Xiaomi respectively, and taught them how to play. After that, it gradually became popular in the capital.

Tian listened to the children's laughter and whispered to Ma Fuquan, "Don't tell them yet. If you want to go over there one day, I will find a reason to tell them. Don't worry about it."

"Don't worry about it. You don't have to say anything. As long as I'm here, I'm your man and the father of these kids. I'm the head of the family. When that day comes, I think I'll have a psychological sense. I'll explain everything to them before I leave. Don't worry, leave it to me. Otherwise, how can I still call you a man? Don't worry about it."

Ma Fuquan stood up and patted her shoulder, "I'm going to play with my sons for a while, you should have a good rest."

"How can I stay idle?" Tian also stood up, "I'll go help Sister Jian prepare dinner."

Tian came out to look for the kitchen. Jian Ning had previously told her about how she was shot and fell off a cliff while trying to save Wu Tui. She had only felt that Wu Tui was a stranger to her and had not felt much. But this time was different. After hearing it again from Ma Fuquan, she felt a closer relationship with Jian Ning.

It wasn't for anything else, simply because Jian Ning and Wu Dui were from the same place, and that alone made her feel particularly close. Although she still couldn't understand what they meant by another time and space, nor could she imagine it, she only knew it was a distant place. Suddenly, her heart moved.

"Sister, come here, I want to ask you something." She pulled Jian Ning to a deserted spot in the backyard and whispered, "I wanted to ask Lao Ma, but I was afraid he'd get suspicious and think I was causing trouble for him. I was thinking that there must be a way for the two of you to get from that place to here. Whether you're human or soul, how could you get here without a way? You couldn't just fall from the sky, right?"

Jian Ning was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "What are you thinking about? Gods can fly, so can we mortals fly around in the sky? Even if there really is such a way, how can we mortals find it? If I could find it, I would have returned long ago."

Tian then remembered what Jian Ning had told her: if she died there, she couldn't go back. "Then how can Old Ma go back? Can he go back just by falling asleep?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Jian Ning said, "Just understand it this way. Do we dream after we fall asleep? Can we walk around in our dreams? But in reality, we sleep at home, in our beds. It's only our souls that run around in our dreams. If we want to travel to another time and space, to another sky, our physical body can't do it, but our souls can. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tian patted her forehead and said, "I understand. I've only heard of the underworld. Who in the world has actually seen it while they're still alive? After death, one naturally goes to the underworld. It's just like this. Only the soul can go there, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Oh, I was so happy for nothing. I thought there must be a way."

Jian Ning took her hand, held it in her own, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we are good sisters for life, and you will always be my good sister-in-law. Even if he passes away one day, I am still here, and you won't be alone. If you miss him, come to me, and I will tell you about his past over there, just like telling you a story, okay?"

Tian's eyes were wet again. In just half a day, she had shed more tears than she had in the past few decades. She was not one to cry easily. When she was a girl in her parents' home, she was the only girl in the family. Although life was hard, her parents and brothers gave in to her in everything. What could she possibly cry about?

Later, she married Ma Fuquan. They were not in love with each other, but they never had any quarrels. Ma Fuquan was not a talkative person. At most, she worried about the difficult life. No matter how difficult it was, everyone around her was living the same life, and there was nothing sad that could make her cry.

"Okay, look at you, you're about to cry again. Right now, he's still here, so you should cherish the days we spend together. Hold back your tears and be happy."

"Sister, I won't say anything. You are my biological sister and the biological aunt of these children." Tian lowered her head and wiped her face. "Don't worry, I won't cry anymore. I will be cheerful in front of him all day for the rest of my life. It would be a shame if I was frowning all day long!"

"That's right. Every day you can be happy is a day you can be happy. When you look back on it, your memories will be full of happiness. Come on, let's cook."

Jian Ning took her hand and walked towards the kitchen.
