Chen Xuelan was about to say something when she saw a little girl named Ye Linlang here, so she winked at Ye Yin and changed the subject.

"Let's talk about my business some other time. By the way, Otoko, I got you a dress."

Ye Yin declined, "Why spend the money? I won't have the chance to wear it."

"It's a leftover piece from a clothing factory I know. It has a few flaws, but it doesn't affect wearability, and the shape is pretty good." Chen Xuelan said, "Yin, how about you come home with me and make some porridge for Third Brother? If Third Brother wakes up, he'll need something to eat, right?"

Ye Yin shook his head.

"Lanzi, I have to wait for my third brother to wake up."

Chen Xuelan grabbed all the sunflower seeds in her pocket and gave them to Ye Linlang. She clapped her hands and said cheerfully, "Then you and Linlang stay at the hospital to look after Third Brother. I'll go get you some food."

"Let Linlang go with you." Ye Yin pushed Ye Linlang, "It's not easy for you to have a baby, don't go back and forth."

"Is it really that precious?" Chen Xuelan said nonchalantly, "It's all fate. If it's meant to be my child, it's mine. If it's not meant to be mine, I can't force it. I don't know you, but I let Linlang stay here with you. You've always been a stickler for details. If Linlang isn't here, you'll be left alone to look after your third brother. Who knows what crazy thoughts you'll have. Okay, I'll go back first!"

After Chen Xuelan finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

Ye Linlang finally had the chance to ask Ye Yin, "Mom, Aunt Lan said that she almost became my aunt. Is this true?"

"It's true."

As the sun sets, the sick Ye Yin softly recounts the story of Chen Xuelan's relationship with the Ye family.

"They were engaged as children. After Wusheng's accident, the Chen family wanted to marry Xuelan off to an old bachelor. Your grandparents disagreed and went to the Chen family, demanding they either give her up or compensate for the betrothal gift. The Chen family couldn't afford such a large sum of money at the time, so in the end, the Chen family had no choice but to agree to let Xuelan come to our house. They said it was a marriage to a tablet, but in fact, it wasn't a marriage. It was your grandparents who were kind enough to give Xuelan a chance to live."

"Aunt Lan is at our house, how come I didn't know?" Ye Linlang asked in surprise.

Ye Yin smiled and said lovingly, "I was still married to your father at that time."

"What happened next?" Ye Linlang asked again.

"Later, Xuelan went to the county town to learn how to make clothes from a tailor, and that's when she met her current lover. Your grandparents thought the man wasn't very reliable, so they didn't agree to the marriage. But your Aunt Lan was very opinionated and insisted on getting married, so they got married. Since we lived far apart and didn't see each other often, our relationship naturally faded."

Ye Linlang did not expose the small details that Ye Yin deliberately concealed.

Her intuition told her that Chen Xuelan's case was definitely not that simple.

When the sun was about to set, Chen Xuelan came over with some things in large and small bags as if she was moving house.

"Linlang, these are the rice wine balls I made for you. Aren't they your favorite?"

"Yinzi, this is a skirt, put it on and show it to me."

Chen Xuelan urged Ye Yin to change into a new dress and handed her a pair of new sandals.

"Linlang, is your mother pretty?"

When Ye Linlang saw Ye Yin standing in front of her in a floral dress, the image that emerged in her mind was the Ye Yin in her previous life who had been doing embroidery work to support her family and had almost gone blind.

She felt so sad that she wanted to cry again.

Thank you, mom.

I love you mom.
