The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. "It's all my sins. I don't have many years left to live. After I die, I will serve you like a slave to atone for my sins."

Ye Qingqing's eyes reddened, and she leaned on Lu Mo's shoulder, sobbing softly. She was truly living a good life now, but her biggest regret was her mother. She wished she could be reborn before her mother's accident.

If there truly is an afterlife, she still wants to be her mother's daughter, to cherish her mother, and to make sure she lives a good life.

Lu Mo helped the old lady up. She seemed more relaxed and in good spirits.

"You all should say a few words," the old woman said in a hoarse voice.

Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo placed carnations in front of the grave and knelt down to kowtow.

"Mom, Xiaotong and I are doing very well, and Dad is doing very well too. I have a child now, and I'll be a mom soon. I'll bring my child to see you then. Lu Mo and Aunt Fang are so incredibly kind to me. You can rest in peace now. If we're destined to be mother and daughter again in our next life, you can be my daughter, and I'll protect you!"

Ye Qingqing clasped her hands together, murmuring to herself with tears streaming down her face. She truly hoped that in her next life she could be her mother's mother, giving her mother the best and happiest life, and making her a little princess who would never have to worry about food or clothing.

Lu Mo wiped away her tears. Xu Yali on the tombstone was smiling slightly, young and beautiful, her eyes seemingly looking at him.

"Don't worry, I will protect Qingqing and our child with my life!" Lu Mo promised in his heart.

********

When she returned from the cemetery, the old lady planned to go directly to the train station.

“The chickens, ducks and vegetables all need to be taken care of. I’m not at ease if I don’t go back. You can take me to the station and I’ll take the train back by myself.”

"Let someone take you home. It's too much trouble to transfer buses once you get to the county town."

Ye Qingqing was a little worried. The old lady's legs and feet weren't as nimble as before. What if she fell or bumped into something on the way?

Lu Mo also said, "I'll have the driver take you home. You go back to the hospital first, and the driver will come to pick you up in a bit."

Although the old lady felt embarrassed, she did not refuse. She was indeed not as energetic as before, and she was very tired from the car ride. It would be good if she could get home safely.

Lu Mo first took the old lady back to the hospital, and Ye Qingqing went along. The ward door was open, and the voices were quite loud, which didn't sound like Ye Hua's. Ah Zhen brought back a kettle of hot water and walked faster when she saw them. "Master and Mistress have arrived. They just got here a short while ago."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then hurried into the ward. It was indeed Master Ye, along with a woman who looked robust with a round face, and a tall, thin girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who looked quiet and gentle.

"Wenji and Yinfeng are here! Little girl, aren't you going to school today?" the old lady greeted them warmly, taking out fruit and snacks from the cupboard.

Master Ye's name is Ye Wenji, Yinfeng is his wife, Xiaonan is his daughter's nickname, and her full name is Ye Mengjia.

"It's Sunday today, no school, Grandma."

Ye Mengjia is very pretty, like her father. She speaks softly and gently, and she only reached for the food after her mother gave her permission, which shows that she has a good upbringing.

The old lady slapped her forehead. "Look at my memory! I've gotten so confused about the days. Why didn't I bring Menghao along?"

“He needs extra tutoring. Senior year of high school is very demanding, and he only comes home once a month,” Yin Feng explained.

The old lady nodded and smiled, "Menghao has good grades, he will definitely get into university."

Master Ye and his wife chuckled and said in unison, "Thank you for your kind words. If you really pass the exam, we will definitely hold a banquet and invite you to sit at the head table."

"Haha, okay, I'll be waiting!" The old lady laughed heartily, showing that she had a very good relationship with Master Ye's family.

Ye Qingqing carefully examined the girl, Ye Mengjia. She ate very politely, but her complexion was not good. She took the initiative to say, "Let me check Mengjia's pulse first."
