Madam Fu's joy was evident on her face. She grasped Jiang Zao's hand and asked, "Zao Zao, you and Yan Ci?"

Of course she knew that her son and daughter-in-law would not consummate their marriage, since her son had always had the mental capacity of a three or four-year-old child and did not understand anything.

But Dean Chu said that his son is recovering.

Maybe it really is true...

"Does that mean I'll soon have a grandson to hold?"

The thought of her chubby baby calling her "Grandma" in a soft, sweet voice made Madam Fu feel instantly content with her life.

Jiang Zao: "Mom, no..."

Without time to explain further, Jiang Zao took Fu Yanci's phone and said to Jiang Jinfeng, "Jinfeng, Aci didn't drink. It's all a misunderstanding. He just overheard me talking to someone else."

Zheng Xiao and Lu Li's affair is their private matter, so Jiang Zao naturally wouldn't bring it up directly.

Jiang Jinfeng realized that Fu Yanci had switched to speakerphone and felt embarrassed: "Aunt, I suddenly have a stomachache, I'll hang up now, please say goodnight to Grandma for me."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zao looked at Madam Fu again, "Mom, I..."

“I understand.” Although Madam Fu was somewhat disappointed, she did not complain at all: “Aci is like this now, and you can still stay by his side and take such good care of him. I am already very content. As for the rest, let’s leave it to fate.”

She firmly believes that her son will recover.

If she tries her best to bring them together, will her grandson be far behind?

Jiang Zao naturally had no idea what Old Madam Fu was thinking, but it was good that the misunderstanding had been cleared up.

She had no intention of using this misunderstanding to gain any benefit from the Fu family.

She will succeed through her own abilities, not through concealment and deception.

They would never take advantage of Fu Yanci, who is as innocent as a child.

However, that very night, Jiang had an unspeakable dream.

In her dream, Fu Yanci gently stroked her face and whispered her name in her ear over and over again.

"Good morning..."

She could even detect a deep affection in those soft whispers, tinged with restraint and forbearance.

When Jiang Zao woke up in the morning, she stared at Fu Yanci beside her for a long time.

They met eyes when Fu Yanci woke up.

She tried to glean something from his expression, but all she got in return was the usual bear hug.

"Wife!"

Pop!

Good morning, my wife!

His way of expressing emotions remained simple and passionate, completely opposite to the restraint and forbearance in his dreams.

Was it really just a dream?

But why does it feel so real?

"Good morning." Jiang Zao sat up.

Perhaps I've been working too hard lately, which is why I had such a dream?

Fu Yanci's face came closer again.

Jiang Zao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Fu Yanci took her hand and placed it on his face. "Wife, you haven't pinched it yet."

Jiang Zao couldn't help but laugh and pinched his cheek. "Get up, big baby."

"good!"

Full of energy, Fu Yanci jumped off the bed.

Their bedroom bathroom had a double sink, and the two of them washed up together. Looking at each other in the mirror, Jiang Zao suddenly felt that this kind of life wasn't so bad.

It was Saturday again, and Jiang Zao decided to take Fu Yan on a picnic and hiking trip.

"Mom, why don't you come with us? Getting closer to nature is good for your health and mood," Jiang Zao sincerely invited.

Madam Fu originally did not want to disturb their time together, but Jiang Zao persuaded her repeatedly, so after thinking about it, she agreed.

Xiao Zhang drove a campervan, and Jiang Zao and the other two watched TV and chatted in the back. Soon they arrived in the suburbs.

Before getting out of the car, Jiang Zao sprayed some sunscreen on Fu Yanci and Madam Fu.

After packing emergency medicines, food, and water into their backpacks, the three of them began their mountain climbing journey.

"Wife! This mountain is so high!" Fu Yanci's current intellectual level is at the stage where everything seems new and exciting.

And at some point, he developed the habit of taking photos and checking in.

So the first thing I did was take a selfie at the foot of the mountain.

In the photo, he is positioned relatively close to the camera, while Jiang Zao and Madam Fu in the background appear rather petite.

Madam Fu smiled and said, "The last time I went mountain climbing was forty years ago. Yan Ci wasn't born yet, and your father-in-law was handling most of the company's affairs."

Jiang Zao knew that behind the strong woman like Madam Fu were all kinds of hardships, so she took her arm and said, "Mom, you will have a lot of time to do what you want to do in the future, and Aci and I can accompany you."

Fu Yanci, being a devoted husband, naturally agreed to whatever his wife said, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, wherever you want to go, my wife and I will go with you."

Although the mountain is high, the slope is not steep, so climbing it is not too tiring.

However, it was still somewhat difficult for the elderly Madam Fu.

Jiang Zao held Fu Yanci's hand with her left hand and held Madam Fu's hand with her right hand. The three of them walked side by side and did not separate until they reached the top of the mountain.

"Wow! Honey, the view from here is so beautiful! I want to take a lot more pictures!" Fu Yanci took out his phone again and started taking pictures.

Old Madam Fu was tired, so she sat down to rest on a large rock.

Jiang Zao took out a thermos: "Mom, have some warm water."

Then he massaged Madam Fu's calves to relieve her fatigue.

In a flash, Madam Fu seemed to see her eldest daughter.

Her hand couldn't help but fall on Jiang Zao's head, her eyes filled with loving affection and a touch of longing.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Jiang Zao keenly noticed the fluctuation in Madam Fu's emotions.

Madam Fu sighed softly: "The last time I climbed a mountain was forty years ago, I was with Yan Ci's eldest sister. She massaged my calves just like you did."

Jiang Zao knew very little about the mysterious eldest daughter of the Fu family.

All that is known is that her name seems to be a taboo in the Fu family, and no one dares to mention it easily.

Jiang Zao sat down next to Madam Fu: "Mom must miss my eldest sister a lot."

Looking ahead, Madam Fu nodded: "You'll understand when you have your own baby. Ten months of pregnancy, becoming a mother for the first time, I spent the most time and energy on Jinhe. But she's been gone for twenty years. Twenty years without coming back to see her mother. How many twenty years does one have in a lifetime? How much longer can I live?"

Fu Yanci jogged over and squatted down in front of Madam Fu. "Mom will live to be a hundred years old. No, Mom will stay young forever and have many, many, many more twenty years."

Although he didn't understand what Madam Fu was saying, he knew how to coax people.

Madam Fu couldn't help but laugh, putting her arms around Jiang Zao and Fu Yanci: "Now that I have you, the emptiness in my heart has been filled. As long as you are healthy and well, I will have no regrets."

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard.

It was past midnight when the three of them came down from the mountain.

My stomach is rumbling.

Fu Yanci, in particular, kept muttering that he was hungry the whole way.

But when Jiang was about to return to the RV to start cooking, she found the vehicle in a mess and the driver, Xiao Zhang, was nowhere to be found.
