"Xianxian?" The wooden door slammed open, and Yan Fenghua stared blankly at her granddaughter, who sat upright on the wooden bed, smiling radiantly.

Tears streamed down her deeply lined face. She turned and closed the door, then stepped forward and hugged her granddaughter, whom she had missed day and night, tightly.

"You, what are you doing here? Did that old geezer bully you?"

"No." Ruan Xianxian hugged the old woman's thin, withered waist back, her little face rubbing against hers happily. It was so good that her only relative was still alive.

"Your granddaughter is really something else. She can punch old bastards and kick big bastards."

Yan Fenghua: ? ? ?

She looked intently at her granddaughter's blossoming face and smiled.

After the initial excitement of their long-awaited reunion, the grandmother and granddaughter sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). Ruan Xianxian took a lunchbox full of meat buns from her basket.

He got up again and boiled a teapot of hot water in the simple stone stove. He secretly added a small bottle of spiritual spring water and brewed two cups of malted milk powder, one for the grandfather and one for the grandson.

Yan Fenghua rubbed the cup with her fingertips, took a small sip, and sighed with satisfaction.

"Xianxian! Tell Grandma the truth, besides visiting me, what else did you come here for?"

"How did Grandma know I had other things to do?" Ruan Xianxian asked curiously.

The sharp-eyed old man glanced at her. "If there's nothing wrong, you'll take the normal route. You wouldn't sneak into the farm like this. Are you planning to harm me, you old bastard?"

Ruan Xianxian was shocked, surprised, and relieved...

Grandma isn't very bright, so Old Man Ruan wouldn't be so wary of her.

She didn't hide anything and told them everything about the Ruan family, including how she took revenge by feeding them urine containing hepatitis A.

The old woman's wrinkled face softened as she spoke.

“Grandma! I just found your transfer order in the steward’s room, and a letter that was probably sent by old man Ruan to take action against you. I will be staying near the farm for the next few days.”

Seeing her granddaughter's determined eyes and resolute decision to stay, Yan Fenghua no longer treated her like an innocent child and drove her away. Instead, she held Ruan Xianxian's hand.

"Okay! Your safety is my top priority. I'll die happy if I can see Xianxian again!"

"Back then, your grandfather donated most of the Ruan family's business to the organization. He wanted to take advantage of the Yan family, but I had safely hidden all the money."

He's driven to desperation; he's used you to threaten me in letters over the years. Now, remember this: the Yan family's strength is still intact..."

She came from a scholarly family and was the eldest daughter of the family. Due to the political situation, she was hastily married to Ruan Kangri. After the marriage, Ruan Kangri looked down on her, a lady from a respectable family who adhered to old customs.

The day after their wedding night, she secretly packed her bags and left home. But the old couple thought she was useless and couldn't even keep her husband's heart. They beat and scolded her and the twins she gave birth to.

She vented her resentment at her son's sudden departure on the mother and her two daughters, even though she had been taught from childhood to be filial to her parents-in-law and raise her children.

Having finally outlived two old men, she learned her husband was alive and, filled with hope, searched for him.

In return, she not only received news that Ruan Kangri had married another man, but also handed over the family property she had earned to prove her loyalty, as if presenting a treasure.

From that moment on, she fully understood that it's better to rely on yourself than on others.

Abandon preconceived notions and participate in this great cause.

As Ruan Kangri matured, he gradually realized the importance of money and began to set his sights on the Yan family's assets. Ha, how could she let him have his way?

Not only did he not give her a single penny, but before he learned that he was about to be demoted after being reported, he only had time to kill the concubine who had repeatedly framed him, so that the old bastard could have a chance to live.

Having thought her life would end like this, seeing Xianxian again today rekindled Yan Fenghua's hope for life. She held her granddaughter's little hand tightly.

"Have you remembered everything I said? Things are beyond saving. Divide this money with your uncle; it'll be enough for you two to live comfortably for the rest of your lives."

If Grandma makes it back safely, she'll kill that old bastard as soon as she gets back to avenge us.

"Grandma is so awesome!" Ruan Xianxian nestled in the old lady's arms, feeling both happy and fortunate.

Thankfully, my only relative is still alive. I'm glad that my grandmother isn't the kind of old-fashioned person who insists on taking risks alone. She manages to turn small things into big things and big things into dangerous situations.

The grandmother and granddaughter whispered to each other for a while until the work horn sounded. After finishing a box of steamed buns, she patted the little girl's head.

"Grandma and the Yan family's hopes are all pinned on you. If something is impossible, then don't do it. Your personal safety should be the top priority, understand?"

Ruan Xianxian nodded obediently, watching the old man carrying farm tools go to work in high spirits, and then climbed over the high wall to call the brigade headquarters to ask for leave.

post office--!

Ruan Xianxian held up the phone: "Hello! Is this the brigade leader? I need to ask for a few days off and won't be back at the brigade."

A roar came from the other end of the phone.

With almost a minute to go, Ruan Xianxian quickly said, "My grandfather died. There's a funeral to attend to at home. I have to go now. Phone calls are too expensive. I'll tell you how my grandfather died when I get back."

Flathead Squad—!

The village head, sitting in the village office, hung up the phone, took a sorrowful drag on the welding smoke, and said, "He just arrived in the countryside, and Grandpa died. So pitiful..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Isn't that brat from the capital? Grandpa died, is a two-day holiday enough for her to travel back and forth?

"Ruan, Xian, Xian!"

Ruan Xianxian breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. This was also the reason why she asked for leave after leaving the brigade. She acted first and asked for leave later. If she were still in the village, she would never have been able to get the leave.

When she rode her bike back to the farm, a torrential downpour began. Soaked to the bone, Ruan Xianxian found shelter in an uninhabited wooden shack.

Looking at the torrential rain outside, I felt worried.

Sure enough, the farm manager began gathering people in the middle of the night.

Heavy rains occurred frequently this year, and the upstream river dam was washed away, almost causing a major disaster. It was only thanks to the heroic efforts of a group of soldiers that the people were spared serious harm.
