Tao Wanniang had an inexplicable sense of unease; this sudden windfall made her feel inexplicably guilty.

Xiao Qiao'er looked blank, with two clear tear tracks on her face.

"Grandma Tao, my dad doesn't want me anymore!"

After returning home, Xiao Qiao'er finally came to her senses and said with a sad expression.

"Wrong! Little Qiao'er, it's not that your father doesn't want you anymore, it's that you don't want your father anymore!"

Tao Wan's mother encouraged her, saying, "Little Qiao'er, your father is probably afraid of his wife. Marrying this new woman is a step up for him. Since he has said so, let's live our lives well!"

“Little Qiao’er, your father is still your father. Just because you don’t live together doesn’t mean he’s not your father anymore.”

Tao Wan's mother tried her best to comfort her: "We only live around the front and back of the house. Only by growing up well can you fulfill your grandmother's last wish."

Little Qiao'er was immersed in the grief of being abandoned by her own father, and it's unclear how much of Tao Wan's mother's comforting words she listened to.

“Little Qiao’er, from now on we are family. Although your father gave you money, Grandma Tao is telling the truth. Even without this money, since your grandmother entrusted you to me, I will raise you. As for the money your father gave you, then I will make sure you live a better life.”

Xiao Qiao'er didn't seem to have listened, and only nodded reluctantly.

"Grandma Tao, please let me be alone for a while!"

Tao Wan's mother didn't force her, looking at Xiao Qiao'er with some heartache; this had truly been a series of twists and turns!

Hearing the noise, Wang Hongyu and Zhou Xiaoyun came over. When they saw what Tao Wanniang and Xiao Qiao'er were carrying, they were shocked. How much money did they spend?

"Come here, everyone, take these things to the kitchen. Someone will bring them over soon!"

Tao Wanniang instructed, "Put out the meat, vegetables, and eggs. Here are two combs for you, as well as hair oil. Since you'll be changing your clothes, you should also take good care of your hair."

Wang Hongyu and Zhou Xiaoyun accepted the gifts with surprise and delight. These... were for them?

"Little Qiao'er, come on, let's go back inside!"

Tao Wanniang unloaded what she was carrying and pulled Xiao Qiao'er toward the room, but in her other hand she was still holding something for Bai Yumei.

"You need to put up the mattress in this room, and since it's not cold yet, you also need to put up the mosquito net!"

After having money, Tao Wanniang felt that the room's furnishings were still lacking something.

Then she felt a little ashamed. She had redeemed her favorite bedding in the system early last night. Sigh, she felt a little guilty!

Seeing that Xiao Qiao'er looked listless, Tao Wan's mother left her alone.

She took the things for Bai Yumei and went to the backyard.

After knocking on the door, Tao Wanniang said, "It's me, Tao Wanniang."

The door opened immediately, and Tao Wanniang went inside and gave Bai Yumei two sets of clothes, shoes, a comb, hair oil, soap, and a gauze hat.

"The bed and cabinet will be delivered soon. I forgot to buy bedding, so I need to go out and look again. If you're concerned about your appearance, this will come in handy."

Tao Wanniang said, "I still think you should meet him. With another person in the house, my son, daughter-in-law, and children will run into him sooner or later. Rather than having misunderstandings later, it's better to get to know him openly and honestly."

Bai Yumei's eyes welled up with tears when she saw how many things Tao Wan's mother had bought for her.

Especially the veil; once she put it on, no one could see her face, and she dared to go out.

"Sister Tao, you are such a good person! I'm so lucky to have met such a kind person like you!"

Tao Wanniang forced a smile, but couldn't manage it; she was only doing this for the money.

"Mother, Mother, where are you? Several people have come to the door, saying they've brought a bed and a wardrobe!"

Wang Hongyu's voice came from outside.

"If you're not ready yet, then wait until my daughter-in-law and I leave, then go to the next room and let them set up this room before you come over!"

Tao Wanniang suggested.

"Okay, Sister Tao, you are a kind and caring person. You will be blessed."

Bai Yumei nodded quickly.

After Tao Wanniang finished speaking, she opened the door and came out, just in time to see Wang Hongyu looking around.

"What are you looking at? We'll give you an explanation later."

Tao Wanniang said with a stern face, "Let's go, everything in this room is here."

Wang Hongyu couldn't help but look back. Why did they have to put so much effort into decorating this room?

After a while, they saw several large items being moved to the backyard, and Wang Hongyu and Zhou Xiaoyun took their children to look at them curiously.

“I don’t think that room is Dad’s mourning hall. If it were, there would be no need to put a bed and a cabinet there!” Wang Hongyu guessed.

"It's hard to say. Could it be that a mourning hall was set up on one side, and this room was prepared by Mother herself?"

Zhou Xiaoyun guessed, "Mother has thought about Father her whole life, and maybe she wants to spend the rest of her life with him too."

“If Mother goes to the backyard…” Wang Hongyu and Zhou Xiaoyun exchanged a glance. They both knew what was on their minds, but saying it aloud would make them seem unfilial.

Soon, the room was furnished. Tao Wan thanked the deliveryman who brought the things and escorted them to the door. She also inquired where she could buy bedding and other such items at a cheaper price.

"You two shouldn't be following me around like this. Look at the time, shouldn't we be making lunch? I bought two qian of meat, it'll go bad if left out in this weather, so we have to cook it."

Tao Wanniang spoke bluntly to the two daughters-in-law behind her.

"Also, these kids need to grow. Make some steamed egg custard for lunch, and Gouwa, Huani, and Ergou can all eat it!"

Wang Hongyu and Zhou Xiaoyun looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Mom, how do you make steamed egg custard?"

Tao Wanniang was taken aback, frowned, and glanced at the two of them. What a damned arrangement!

The original owner's family lived in the countryside. They would save up their eggs to sell at the market because they couldn't bear to eat them, let alone research how to cook eggs!

She used to think that a simple fried egg was a delicacy, but now she has to do everything!

"Go, go, go, take your kids and do your own thing. Seeing you makes me feel terrible. You can't even cook a simple meal!"

Tao Wanniang said irritably, "In the end, it's because she has too high a standard of living!"

"Also, when Dapeng and Dahu come back, I have something to announce to you, no, two things. There's a guest at home, and you'll get to meet him then."

After Tao Wanniang finished speaking, she walked towards the backyard.

"Sister-in-law, the guest Mother mentioned wouldn't be..." Zhou Xiaoyun, holding her son, couldn't help but shudder.

"How could it be in broad daylight? Let's wait for the baby's father to come back!" Wang Hongyu also thought of her father-in-law, but immediately found an excuse for herself.

Bai Yumei was already in the decorated room, everything was very similar to her old room, and she had changed her clothes, simply combed her hair, and put on a veil.

At that moment, she felt as if she had transformed back into a human from a ghost!
