Grandma Wu felt a strange sense of emotion, after all, in her previous life, she and Huang Xiaofu had become like mother and son because of Miao Fengying.

Although this was Huang Xiaofu's perspective, when he realized what was happening, Old Lady Wu glared at him fiercely, leaving Huang Xiaofu somewhat confused. What was going on?

The next morning, Old Mrs. Wu went out again without stopping.

She was so out of her mind; she forgot to buy train tickets. Huang Xiaoqiang's train tickets had already been paid for by the school and bought for him at the same time.

Now it's just her and Huang Xiaofu left.

I thought she was early, but when I arrived at the train station, it was so crowded that I could only stand on tiptoe and see the dense crowd of heads moving around.

What can we do? We can't even get into the ticket hall now.

There were so many people that it was ridiculous. Old Mrs. Wu had to use all her strength to squeeze into the crowd and barely managed to get to the front of the line with her nimble hands and feet.

"Two sleeper berths, going to Nanshi."

Just as she finished speaking, she noticed a petite girl in front of her. The girl's face was flushed, and she looked somewhat frightened. Old Mrs. Wu sighed, reached out and lifted her up, saying, "You should buy your ticket first."

Before the little girl could react, she was face-to-face with the ticket seller inside. Hearing the female voice behind her, she quickly whispered a thank you and told the ticket seller what she wanted to buy.

The little girl's voice was low, and with the noise of the surrounding crowd, no one could hear what she was saying.

A moment later, I felt someone gently pat my hand twice before putting me down.

Just as she stood still, before Old Mrs. Wu could even open her mouth, someone nudged her arm. Looking down, she saw it was the little girl.

Some people were getting impatient, saying, "Are you going to buy it or not? If you're not going to buy it, then get out of here, others are busy with other things!"

The little girl shrank her neck and waved to Grandma Wu, "I've sold it for you, hurry up and go out."

After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and walked out.

Grandma Wu paused for a moment, then followed her outside.

After leaving the ticket hall, the two breathed a long sigh of relief. The place was crowded and smelled mixed, which was a bit unpleasant.

"Here, this is your ticket." The little girl handed the ticket to Grandma Wu, a little embarrassed. "Thank you so much, Auntie. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to buy a ticket."

Grandma Wu was taken aback, looking at the two tickets in her hand. She really bought them? And they were sleeper tickets?

"How much? I'll give it to you." He said, taking money out of his pocket.

The little girl grabbed Wu's hand and said, "No, Auntie, it's just a little money, you don't need it."

Sleeper tickets on these trains are no small expense; two tickets cost at least twenty yuan, which is equivalent to a month's wages for an average worker.

"I need your help."

Grandma Wu paused, and subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

"I'm also going to Nanshi, and I'd like to ask you to take good care of me on the way."

"That's easy. But you still have to pay the money."

Old Mrs. Wu stuffed the money into her arms and refused to take it back no matter what.

"Then let's meet here tomorrow, Auntie, remember to wait for me."

Before she could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Wu saw someone waving at her from afar, so she hurriedly left.

Looking at the two sleeper tickets in her hand, Grandma Wu's joy spread across her face.

After buying the tickets, they rushed off to pick up the new cotton quilts and mats they had ordered.

Remember to eat today; when it's time, step into the state-run restaurant.

Looking at what was written on the blackboard:

[Today's limited supply: 5 servings of braised pork, 2 servings of mixed vegetables, 3 servings of pork and scallion dumplings, and 2 servings of rice.]

Grandma Wu skillfully took out her grain coupons and money and placed them on the counter. "Give me two servings of braised pork, one serving of stew, and two bowls of rice."

The woman behind the counter looked at Old Mrs. Wu suspiciously from head to toe, but still put the money away. "Sit down, it'll be served in a bit."

When the waiter placed a large plate full of food in front of Grandma Wu, her eyes visibly lit up.

The waiter's lips twitched, he put down the food, cleared the plate away, and acted as if he hadn't eaten at all.

Old Mrs. Wu has lived a second life, and her appetite has increased considerably, not to mention that the chef at this state-run restaurant is quite skilled.

It looks so appetizing that it makes your mouth water.

Under the astonished gaze of the waiter, Grandma Wu ate every last bite of the two large portions of braised pork, one large stew, and two bowls of rice.

Even as Old Mrs. Wu left, the waiter was still staring blankly at the empty bowls and plates, truly a reincarnation of a starving ghost...

After leaving the state-run restaurant, Old Mrs. Wu wandered around the streets, collecting everything she saw, liked, and could use before finally returning home satisfied.

It feels so good to go on a shopping spree! It feels like I'm young again.

As soon as the smiling old lady Wu reached the gate of her own courtyard, she stopped in her tracks, and the smile on her lips froze.

Is there a stage in front of this courtyard?

Why are there people performing operas here every day?

"No, Hao Ren, please don't abandon me. The money is gone, but I'm still here. I can earn money, and I'll pay you back."

Zhou Pandi, who hadn't seen Hao Ren for a long time, grabbed Hao Ren's trouser leg with snot and tears streaming down her face, desperately trying to stop him from entering the hospital.

"I'm still the mother of my child. He'll miss me if I'm gone. Besides, you need a woman to take care of you, right?"

Hao Ren sneered, "You still have the nerve to mention the child? You're your mother's good daughter, not Fu Gui's mother. When you gave all your money to your mother, did you ever think about Fu Gui? Did you ever think about me? Did you ever think about how we'd live if I found out?"

The three deadly questions left Zhou Pandi staring wide-eyed at Hao Ren, speechless.

Grandma Wu didn't see it at all and slipped away along the corner of the wall to go home.

At this moment, Zhou Pandi seemed to have his meridians opened up, and he grabbed Wu Laotai, but unfortunately she dodged quickly and he missed.

"You be the judge, don't leave." Zhou Pandi wiped her nose and stood up. "My family is in financial difficulty. They asked me for money. After all, she raised me. How could I refuse?"

"Would you really lend out your entire fortune?"

"But she said she would pay it back!"

"Return?" Hao Ren was so angry he almost laughed. "When has your mother ever returned the things you took from your parents' home?"

"I!"

Zhou Pandi was stunned, and she vaguely knew in her heart that her mother would not return the money. After all, her mother hadn't even let her in the door when she mentioned it.

Seeing that Hao Ren wouldn't budge, Zhou Pandi pounced on him, trapping Hao Ren's arm between her ample breasts and kneading it.

Old Mrs. Wu's lips twitched at the sight, finding it extremely offensive. She rubbed her arms and slipped into the yard.

"Mom, you're back. I was just about to go out and look for you." Huang Xiaoqiang had just stepped out the door when he said, "It's so late, and you're leaving tomorrow. I was worried about you."

"What are you worried about? Have you packed everything I told you to pack for yourself and your second brother?"

"It's all packed up."

Huang Xiaoqiang was somewhat excited. With his family by his side, the experience of being sent to the countryside didn't seem so difficult anymore.
