Lin Qinghuan and Wei Xiao followed behind Lin and the others, walking up the mountain. When they passed a fork in the road, they saw a young girl standing at the fork.

When the girl saw Lin Qinghuan, she gave him a kind smile.

Lin Qinghuan smiled at the girl, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. The Party Secretary's daughter, Lin Feng, what was she doing here?

"Qinghuan, what a coincidence! Are you going to pay respects to your grandmother today?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Lin Qinghuan smiled. It was so obvious, yet Lin Feng still asked. It was obvious that she was just making small talk, and besides, she wasn't familiar with Lin Feng.

"Yes, I'm taking my grandfather to pay respects to my grandmother today." Lin Qinghuan said with an apologetic smile. "I can't keep my grandfather and the others waiting, so I'll be going now."

Lin Feng's face darkened when she saw Lin Qinghuan pull Wei Xiao away without looking back.

Things are really different now. I never took Lin Qinghuan seriously before, but now she has a wealthy grandfather and a capable boyfriend who is superior to me in every way. It's my turn to try to please her.

It's true what they say, fortunes change every ten years!

Lin Qinghuan felt a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. She turned her head and saw Lin Feng looking at her.

Wei Xiao asked, "Are you very familiar with that girl?"

"I don't know her well. She's the village secretary's daughter. Every time she sees me, she acts all high and mighty, thinking she's superior and looking down on me, a nobody who's unloved by my parents. Maybe she's just trying to curry favor with me because my grandfather is rich, that's why she greets me with a smile!" Lin Qinghuan said.

Wei Xiao nodded slightly in understanding, "There's no need to get too close to such a snobbish girl."

“I know,” Lin Qinghuan said.

...

As Wei Xiao and Lin Qinghuan walked and talked, they came to a flat area halfway up the mountain. They saw Lin's father and uncle weeding a grave. Lin's grandfather stood sadly in front of the grave, looking very depressed.

Wei Xiao stepped forward to help, and Lin Qinghuan looked at Grandpa Lin and said with emotion, "Grandpa, judging from your appearance, you must have feelings for Grandma. Why did you abandon her and leave for twenty years?"

"Grandpa, life is short, how many twenty years can we afford to waste?"

"Qinghuan, many things are beyond our control!" Grandpa Lin said with deep emotion.

Lin Qinghuan was just a junior and had no reason to judge Grandpa Lin. She just felt sorry for Grandma Lin, who was living a life of widowhood.

Lin Qinghuan watched as the three Lin brothers cut down the grass and miscellaneous trees around the grave to prevent the sunlight from blocking it. Her gaze then shifted to Wei Xiao, who was helping their father and the others fill the grave mound with soil.

When Wei Xiao saw Lin Qinghuan looking at him, he smiled at her and continued working.

Looking at the diligent Wei Xiao, Grandpa Lin said with satisfaction, "Qinghuan, your boyfriend is good."

Lin Qinghuan joked, "Wei Xiao fell from the sky, he's a gift from God, of course he's great."

Grandpa Lin rolled his eyes at Lin Qinghuan and said irritably, "A girl like you has no self-respect at all, and isn't she afraid of being disliked by Wei Xiao?"

Lin Qinghuan raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Wei Xiao would never dislike me."

"I hope so!" Grandpa Lin said, and began to personally clear the grass in front of Grandma Lin's tombstone. He took out the chicken, fruit and candy and placed them in front of the tombstone. Wei Hong and Lin Fu wanted to help, but Grandpa Lin refused.

Lin Qinghuan stood to the side watching when she suddenly felt an urge to urinate. She found a secluded spot to do so. Just as she was about to leave, she noticed that the pine needles under a pine tree were slightly bulging, and a purple pine fungus was emerging. She quickly bent down and carefully parted the pine needles, finding three pine fungi. She collected the pine fungi, roots and all, into her spatial storage. She then searched around and found about ten more pine fungi, which she also collected into her spatial storage.

After Wei Xiao finished the work, he noticed that Lin Qinghuan had not returned yet, so he went to look for her in the direction she had left. He saw Lin Qinghuan searching under the pine trees, wondering what she was looking for.

"Qinghuan!" Wei Xiao called out.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qinghuan looked at Wei Xiao and said to him, "Wei Xiao, there are pine mushrooms here. I'll pick some and stir-fry them for lunch."

"Qinghuan, come up here first, burn incense and kowtow to Grandma Lin, then come find the pine mushroom," Wei Xiao said.

Lin Qinghuan thought Wei Xiao was right. She couldn't keep Grandpa Lin and the others waiting for her. She used her clothes to carry the pine mushrooms and walked towards Wei Xiao. She walked a little too fast, and her foot slipped. She fell and rolled down the mountain.

Lin Qinghuan was so startled that she blurted out, "Wei Xiao!"

When Wei Xiao saw Lin Qinghuan fall and roll down the mountain, his expression changed drastically. "Qinghuan!" he cried out and rushed to save her.

Lin Qinghuan kept rolling downhill. In her desperation, she grabbed at the air haphazardly. When she thought she had grabbed a tree branch, she was overjoyed and stopped rolling downhill.

Holy crap! Her bones are practically broken, it hurts so much!

Wei Xiao came to Lin Qinghuan's side and saw her lying on the ground. He hurriedly helped her up and asked with concern, "Qinghuan, where does it hurt? Are you hurt?"

Lin Qinghuan looked at Wei Xiao with a pitiful expression, "My whole body aches."

Seeing that Lin Qinghuan's face was all scrunched up, Wei Xiao knew she must be in a lot of pain, so he quickly said, "How could you be so careless? Move around quickly and see if you've broken any bones."

Lin Qinghuan leaned against Wei Xiao's chest, not wanting to move an inch. The sunlight shone on her face, making her close her eyes involuntarily. She said weakly, "Let me catch my breath before we talk."

Wei Xiao looked at Lin Qinghuan's disheveled appearance with pity in his eyes.
