Chapter 259 Fifth Brother's Wife 1

She had a vague idea in her mind, and although she didn't know the specifics, it was definitely something serious.

Helian Jiao blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and naive, and said, "My third aunt was in poor health and was going to die, but I cured her."

He had no idea how much his words shocked Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu.

The couple exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The next second, Ma Xiulian said to her granddaughter in a rare serious tone, "Sweetie, don't tell anyone about this anymore, not a single person, understand?"

She didn't ask her granddaughter how she knew her third son's wife was going to die, nor did she want to find out how the person was cured.

All I want is for my little granddaughter to stay by her side!

Helian Jiao nodded and said in a soft, sweet voice, "I know."

After saying that, she tilted her little head and added, "Grandpa and Grandma, I'll be able to cure you soon too!"

Ma Xiulian was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized: "No wonder I feel as light and strong as I did when I was young these past few years. It turns out that our darling is helping Grandma. Our darling is really amazing."

She stroked her granddaughter's fluffy little head, her eyes filled with such tenderness that it was almost tangible, and her voice was incredibly gentle and affectionate.

Chen Dazhu's gaze was also extremely soft. Originally, he was getting old and it was becoming difficult for him to earn the same number of work points every year, but it had become much easier in the last two years.

Helian Jiao immediately sat up straight, her face full of pride, and said, "I used to be even more amazing!"

In the past, she could have cured her grandparents' health with a single breath of dragon's breath.

"Our darling is the best!"

Ma Xiulian kissed her on her chubby cheeks and held her in her arms for a while.

Ma Xiulian must have been incredibly lucky to have such a precious granddaughter in this life!

The little white ball also hummed and whimpered in agreement: "My little master is the most powerful besides the Great Demon King!"

More than a month later, Chen Jianmin, who had been learning carpentry in another commune, returned!

Not only did he return by himself, but he also brought the old carpenter's daughter, Liu Lanzhi, with him. The two of them were carrying large and small bags of things.

"Mom! I'm home." He strode into the yard, his face beaming with the joy of returning home.

Ma Xiulian exclaimed in surprise, "Jianmin!"

She walked up to him briskly, looked Chen Jianmin up and down, and patted him on the shoulder.

Unlike Chen Jianguo and the others, who were strong and dark-skinned, he was rather thin and looked more like a refined scholar than someone who worked in the fields. Naturally, he was not as strong as his older brothers, and he probably wouldn't be able to support himself if he were to farm.

That's why she used her connections and provided him with food to send him to learn carpentry, so that he would have a skill to rely on and would never starve to death.

She heard that the old carpenter's commune harvest had also been affected, and she was planning to visit him with grain after she finished her work in a couple of days.

“Mom! I’ve completed my four-year apprenticeship and I’m coming back with Lanzhi to discuss our marriage.” Chen Jianmin said, glancing at Liu Lanzhi beside him, a hint of shyness on his face.

This was originally agreed upon beforehand. After he mastered the craft, he would marry her, and the two had spent the last few years together, so they had developed feelings for each other.

Liu Lanzhi was carrying several plastic bags, which she placed on the table: "Uncle, Aunt, these are some gifts I bought for our first meeting."

Ma Xiulian nodded happily and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Then he invited the two of them into the house.
