Early the next morning.
He Yanzhi, Guan Wenru, and their three children sat around a small table eating breakfast.
The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
The triplets were exceptionally well-behaved today, sipping their porridge in small mouthfuls, their big eyes occasionally stealing glances at their mother.
Da Bao carefully placed the biggest bun from his bowl into Guan Wenru's bowl, saying, "Mom, eat this! This one has more meat!"
Erbao quickly put the peeled egg he had just given his mother into her bowl, saying, "Mom, eat an egg! It'll give you energy!"
Xiao Bao struggled to scoop a spoonful of porridge from his bowl and shakily held it to Guan Wenru's lips. "Mommy, ah... Xiao Bao is feeding you porridge! Drinking porridge will make you feel better!"
Looking at the pile of food in the bowl and her sons' careful, concerned eyes, Guan Wenru felt a bittersweet warmth in her heart, and a faint smile finally appeared on her face, which had been frozen for days.
She opened her mouth and accepted Xiao Bao's feeding.
Guan Wenru's voice was still a little hoarse, but much softer, "Thank you, my darlings... Mommy will eat by herself."
Seeing that his wife was finally eating, He Yanzhi's worry eased slightly. He gave his three sons an approving look, "Yes, let Mom eat more. She needs to be full to have the strength."
The triplets nodded vigorously and began to eat heartily themselves.
After breakfast, the family packed their simple luggage, got in the car, and drove to Dinglan Farm again.
The car was parked outside the residence of Guan Yuanxiu and his wife.
...
Inside the room, Guan Wanxin's urn sat on a simple table.
Guan Wenru and his family, Guan Yuanxiu and his wife, Guan Wenjing and his wife, and Guan Hongqi stood solemnly.
The atmosphere was heavy and solemn.
Guan Wenru's face was still pale, but her eyes held a gentle warmth from the children.
The triplets were exceptionally well-behaved; they would coax their mother during meals, and now they stood quietly beside her.
He Yanzhi took the triplets' hands, stepped forward, and said in a steady voice, "Da Bao, Er Bao, Xiao Bao, come, kowtow to your great-grandmother and tell her that we will take good care of Mom and grow up well."
The triplets were very obedient; they knelt down obediently and kowtowed three times in a very proper manner.
Da Bao: "Great-Grandma, Da Bao will be good! He will protect Mommy!"
Erbao: "Great-Grandma, Erbao will be good too! Helping Mommy with chores!"
Xiao Bao: "Great-Grandma... Xiao Bao misses you... Be a good girl, okay..."
As she spoke, her little mouth twitched slightly.
Guan Wenru looked at the children, her eyes welling up with tears again, but she held them back.
Guan Wenru slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times deeply.
She straightened up, looked at the urn, and said softly, "Grandma, I've brought the children to see you. Don't worry... I'll be fine... I'll take good care of myself and the children, and I'll... live a good life! I've remembered everything you said, and I'll live a life that will make you proud!"
After she finished speaking, she knelt quietly for a while, as if saying her final goodbye to her grandmother.
He Yan stepped forward, gently helped Guan Wenru up, and held her hand, saying, "Grandma will see it."
After the worship ceremony, we left the house.
With red eyes, Guan Yuanxiu asked He Yanzhi, "Yanzhi, you... you're going back to Su'nan already?"
He Yanzhi nodded, "Yes, Dad, please take good care of yourselves, Mom."
Qin Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward and stuffed a few pieces of fruit candy into the triplets' pockets. "Drive slowly on the road. When you get there... let us know."
Guan Wenru glanced at her mother and nodded gently. "Okay, Mom and Dad, brother, Hongqi, we're leaving."
He Yanzhi held Xiaobao in his arms, while Guan Wenru held Dabao and Erbao's hands. The family of five turned around and walked towards the jeep.
The sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows.
They are about to embark on their journey home, carrying with them the longing for the deceased and the courage to continue their journey.
Before they could even get into the car, Li Guili suddenly stepped forward, blocking Guan Wenru's path, her voice shrill:
"Wait! This isn't over yet! Guan Wenru! You're just going to keep Grandma's things all to yourself?! Hand them over right now! Not a single penny of what's due should be split equally!"
Guan Wenjing instantly flew into a rage, grabbing Li Guili's arm and pulling her back, his voice trembling with suppressed fury, "Li Guili! Are you ever going to stop?! Get out of here! Stop making a fool of yourself!"
Li Guili forcefully shook off Guan Wenjing, who remained glued to the spot like a plaster. Pointing at Guan Wenru, she shouted, "Me, as a disgrace? Isn't Guan Wenru, who seized the old man's inheritance, disgraceful?! We must make this clear today! Divide the money! Divide the property!"
Guan Wenru stopped and slowly raised her head.
She didn't look at Li Guili, her icy gaze fixed on Guan Wenjing, a chilling smile playing on her lips. "Guan Wenjing, if you want a wife, you can forget about having a sister like me."
These words were like an icicle, piercing Guan Wenjing and sending a shiver down his spine!
Guan Wenru's voice was not loud, but every word was clear and carried a chilling coldness, "Grandma is indeed seriously ill, but if no one is angry with her, she can't walk that fast!"
Your wife killed Grandma!
You can continue living with her.
But don't let her appear in front of me!
"Don't even think about setting foot inside the Guan family's house in the capital! Otherwise..."
She stared into Guan Wenjing's eyes and said, word by word, "I'll make sure you can't even step foot inside the Guan family's house! I mean what I say!"
Qin Yue was startled by the harshness in her daughter's words and couldn't help but step forward to advise, "Wenru! You...you're exaggerating! We're all family..."
Guan Hongqi immediately interrupted her mother, standing firmly beside her sister, "Mom! My sister is right! It's not serious at all! People like that don't deserve to come into our house!"
Li Guili was completely enraged by Guan Wenru's words, jumping up and down and screaming, "Who do you think you are?! You're a married daughter, like water spilled from a cup! What right do you have to take over the Guan family's things! What right do you have to not let me in! The Guan family's things should belong to the sons! To Wenjing and Hongqi! What right do you have to monopolize them?!"
