When Lu Chunjiang heard this, he thought to himself that it was all over. His mother fell ill as soon as she came to his side. The phone in his hand was still hanging up, and his cousin was about to get angry.

Sure enough, the cold voice of my cousin came from the other end of the phone, "Lu Chunjiang, good job, it's only been half a day and my aunt is sick. Are you living in the wild? Okay, okay, wait, I'll go pick up my aunt, and your skin will wait too."

The call was hung up by the other party, so Lu Chunjiang quickly asked his wife to get a charcoal brazier for his mother and give her some hot water.

Dong Yunyue had already developed a fever, and Lu Chunjiang was extremely anxious. He was bound to suffer a beating.

Hearing that his aunt had caught a cold, Zhou Xiang glared at Ling Ran fiercely, "I should have known the conditions over there were poor, so I shouldn't have agreed to let my aunt go with me. Hurry and pick her up. Oh, and bring this with you."

Zhou Xiang gave Ling Ran a small medicine bottle containing one-fifth of the mixed liquid. For his aunt who just had a cold, it was already very effective.

Ling Ran called Xiao Qian to follow him.

When he saw that his aunt was already delirious with fever, he immediately started beating Lu Chunjiang.

"I warned you long ago not to enter my territory. You dare to go, aren't you just relying on my aunt's love for you?

I'm telling you, no matter what promises you get from your aunt, they are all gone. Don't come into my territory again. This is the second time I'm warning you. I can't kill you, but I can definitely hurt you."

After a few quick punches, Ling Ran instructed Xiao Qian to pick up his aunt and walk out. The car stopped at the gate of the dilapidated courtyard. As soon as they got in, Ling Ran threw the blanket wrapped around his aunt onto Lu Chunjiang who had followed him out.

"It's so thin, try covering it yourself. Are you planning to murder me?" Then he asked Xiao Qian to start the car and leave.

Lu Chunjiang held the quilt in his arms, his face full of confusion. He also covered himself with such a thick quilt!

Ling Ran opened the small medicine bottle and fed it to his aunt. "Xiao Qian, go back to the town and see Doctor Cao."

"OK."

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and today we still have a patient with a fever. After giving him an injection, Doctor Cao scolded Ling Ran, who sent him there.

"It's New Year's Day, why did you make her sad? It's good to explode now, but this is not the right time!"

Ling Ran said nothing and let Doctor Cao scold him. If his wife hadn't urged him to make the call, with Lu Chunjiang's selfish nature, he probably wouldn't have discovered that his aunt had a cold and fever until the evening.

Dong Yunrong ran over, covered in snow. Seeing her elder sister's appearance, she couldn't help but shed tears, "Elder sister? Elder sister?"

Dong Yunyue slowly opened her eyes, "Why are you here?"

Dong Yunrong smiled tearfully and said, "This is Doctor Cao's clinic. Ling Ran brought you back. How come you've ended up like this in just half a day?"

Dong Yunyue thought about it for a moment before she realized what was wrong with her. "It's okay. Chunjiang mentioned his childhood to me and I felt sad. I cried for a while and then went to sleep. Now I feel much better."

Doctor Cao saw the patient was awake and took up the needle. "Alright, go home! Think more about happy things and the future. The past suffering is over. Why dwell on it? It's hard on you."

Dong Yunyue smiled and said, "Doctor Cao is right. We must move forward."

"Okay, go back and rest for a few days to recover slowly. Don't catch a cold again."

This time, Dong Yunyue was no longer stubborn and went to live at her sister's house, which had heating.

Dong Yunrong called her brother and asked him to change his approach and come to the town on the second day of the New Year.

When Dong Yunsheng heard that her elder sister was ill, she naturally agreed to her younger sister's suggestion.

As soon as he saw his wife, Ling Ran hugged her. His wife was his lucky star.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Zhou Xiang pushed the person away and asked.

"It's okay. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine. I'm very sad. If it weren't so urgent, I would definitely give Lu Chunjiang a good beating."

Zhou wanted to understand his aunt's situation. Ever since her three sons and husband sidelined her, she hadn't cried out loud. She had been holding it in for a long time. "Let's go see my aunt!"

"Um!"

After searching through the gifts at home for some elderly milk powder and cereal, the two returned to the Ling family.

Dong Yunyue felt a little embarrassed, "It's New Year's Day, and I'm causing trouble for everyone."

"Aunt, that's too formal. We're all family, and no one can control physical problems."

Now that her son and daughter-in-law were back, Dong Yunrong didn't need to make any more calls. "Ling Ran, think about it. Your uncle is coming to our house for dinner on the second day of the New Year. You should bring your three treasures with you."

Zhou Xiang and the other man naturally agreed, "Well, you three can chat that day while Ling Ran and I cook."

"Okay."

Dong Yunrong also wanted to bring her brother to have a good chat with her eldest sister, and make it clear about her eldest sister's frustration over the years and the conflicts with herself.

When eating dumplings on the night of the 30th, Zhou Niao deliberately brought an extra bowl to her sister. Zhou Xiang took it and put it into her space. She didn't care that her elder brother didn't know how to add some seasoning. Anyway, the dumplings in her family tasted good no matter how you ate them.

Zhou's mother thought her son had saved it for his grandson! The eldest grandson ate too much tonight.

"If Yan'er wants to eat some, we can just make more. Leftover dumplings won't taste good unless they are fried."

Zhou Yan quickly said, "Grandma, I'll eat later. I digest quickly."

"Okay, okay, there will be dumplings tomorrow morning. Don't get tired of eating them all at once."

"No, I never get tired of home-cooked meals."

"Okay, being able to eat is a blessing."

After the meal, everyone started making dumplings. Zhou Xiang looked at Luo Shaoying who was making dumplings, then got up and went out to make a phone call.

She always had Luo Shaoqiang's phone number abroad. After dialing it, the person on the other end spoke the same Longguo language, but it was a bit stiff. He told her to call back later while he went to call someone.

It was strange that Luo Shaoqiang answered the phone, as he rarely called. "Hello?"

"Strong."

"Think about it, sister?"

"Yes! Haven't you forgotten me yet? Are you enjoying yourself over there and not wanting to leave?"

Luo Shaoqiang chuckled and said, "I can forget about anyone, but I will never forget about Xiang Xiangjie."

"Then why haven't you come back for years? If you can't get it, don't force it. Come back! Your sister's wedding is waiting for you to attend."

"She, who is she with?" Luo Shaoqiang was nervous. He had never heard his sister mention it!

"Who do you care? She has better judgment than you and found someone who is willing to wait for you to come back. But they have been waiting for more than three years. I have already agreed to let them get married in the spring. It's up to you whether you want to come back or not!"

"Hui Hui, I will be back next month."

"Okay! It's settled."

"Yeah! It's a deal."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiang hesitated for a moment and called Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao even joked that Boss Zhou had come to collect debts during the New Year.

Zhou wanted to chat with Mr. Xiao for a while, so he asked if Xiaoxiao had come back.

Old Master Xiao sighed, "That silly girl, she didn't want to come back once she went out. I couldn't even call her back even if I pretended to be sick."

"Back then, my eldest brother..."

Old Master Xiao interrupted immediately, "Zhou Xiang, this has nothing to do with Zhou Niao. Even if Zhou Niao wasn't sober at the time, she still had her own ideas and pursuits. Unlike that girl, who actually proposed living together just because she felt sorry for us, that's ridiculous."
