The worst thing in life is for an older person to outlive their younger sibling.
Xiaoman's grandmother already had few children, having personally sent her son and daughter-in-law away. Now, with her eldest grandson injured in a fall, and hearing that her youngest grandson was injured and unconscious, she was overwhelmed with grief.
Li Laoshi and Xiaoman quickly helped her up. Fortunately, Dazhu had already arrived. He shouted from Errui's back, "Grandma, Xiaoman is alright. He's waiting for you to make chicken soup for him. Chunfeng is already catching chickens!"
Errui also said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Xiaoman fell asleep from exhaustion. My mother has been watching over her the whole time, and we've also called the town's doctor."
Li Laoshi realized that he had overacted and that Xiaoman's grandmother had misunderstood his words, so he quickly offered an explanation.
Finally, Grandma Xiaoman understood what had happened: Xiaoman had been mistaken for Xiaotian in Qingquan Bay!
She couldn't help but jump up and yell, "Bullshit! I cut Xiaoman's umbilical cord myself! My child, whom I raised with my own hands, was almost harmed!"
When the man in black attacked Xiaoman, he said, "She should have died eighteen years ago." Errui and Xu Genqing were listening nearby at the time.
Xiaoman is a native of the village, and everyone remembers Xiaoman's mother's pregnancy and childbirth. How could someone who should have died eighteen years ago suddenly appear?
Eighteen years ago, Xiaoman was still in his mother's womb.
The other party came specifically to kill, and they were determined to target Xiaoman.
If it weren't for Xiaoman's diligent study and training over the past two years, which strengthened her body, she would have truly been doomed.
The last two people who broke into the Qingquan Bay Pharmacy died, but Xiaoman was still injured and lost too much blood. She ate and went to sleep, and was still asleep when Li Laoshi went up the mountain.
Grandpa and Grandma Xiaoman had been worried, but after being brought up and put down several times, they were no longer able to muster any emotion from Li Laoshi.
Knowing that Xiaoman was injured, that her wounds had been treated by Errui's mother, and that she had been sent to the Tian family for careful care, they were relieved that the possibility of her dying was slim.
Despite her worries, Xiaoman quickly recovered and cheered up.
The elderly have experienced too much hardship and possess a strength that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.
Xiaoman is not afraid of hardship or fatigue; as long as there is hope, she has motivation.
Xiaoman is alive now, and even if she is injured or disabled, she can still support herself.
"Chunfeng, catch the chickens! Catch those fat chickens that are laying eggs!"
Once she had recovered, Grandma Xiaoman started frantically catching chickens; she was going down the mountain to see her grandson.
Inside the house, Li Laoshi and Errui explained everything to Xiaomanye.
Er Rui said, "My mother said that she will find the person who ordered Xiaoman to commit the crime, but we can't rush it. We have to wait until Xiaoman has recovered from her injuries and can get out of bed without worry."
Xiaoman had an accident at her own family's pharmacy. Her mother had said that she treated Xiaoman as family, so this matter would definitely not be left unresolved.
His only worry was that Xiaoman would go to the city to find Lan Xiaogu immediately.
Grandpa Xiaoman frowned deeply. It would be a lie to say he didn't feel sorry for his grandson, but he couldn't ask him to go out and find someone to take revenge immediately.
None of his family members were capable of fighting, so if he, an old man, were to force himself to go to the city, he would only be putting Er Rui Niang in a difficult position.
Now that Errui had given an explanation, he naturally agreed: "Yes, your mother will have to trouble herself with this! But I'll have to ask her myself later!"
Er Rui said, "Uncle, don't worry, no matter who it is, I won't let them get away with it!"
Grandma Xiaoman packed a lot of things on the mountain before going down to see her grandson.
I didn't bring any clothes. Xiaoman is currently staying at Qingquan Bay, and all her clothes are there. Tian Gui will go and help me get them.
Chunfeng and Xiaoman caught a few chickens, dozens of eggs, and a few smoked rabbits.
Errui packed it into a basket and then tied it to the mule's back.
Xu Dazhu was unable to move around easily, so he had to stay behind with Chunfeng and Nini to look after the house.
With their grandson on their minds, Grandpa and Grandma Xiaoman hurriedly packed their things and prepared to leave.
Dazhu had something to say: "Grandpa and Grandma, don't rush back after you go down the mountain. Stay in the village for a few more days and spend more time with Xiaoman."
Chunfeng took out five taels of silver: "Grandpa, Grandma, if you think the Tian family girl is good, ask Xiaoman's opinion. If they both agree, then we can finalize the marriage!"
"If you feel it's not appropriate, this money is for the expenses of taking care of Xiaoman."
Xiaoman is staying at the Tian family's house, and this is a good opportunity for Xiaoman's grandmother to see if her granddaughter-in-law is any good.
If things go well, then we should make the marriage arrangements clear and finalize them. With this connection, it will be easier to take care of the girl, and people won't gossip about her in the future.
If things don't go well, then it's just a matter of paying someone to take care of her, so that Xiaoman won't offend anyone when she goes on blind dates in the future.
Chunfeng is the eldest sister-in-law and the head of the family; she is also very magnanimous.
She doesn't know much about her sister-in-law Tian Tao right now, but she's heard Aunt Jiang say she's a good person, and Grandpa also says that Tian's parents are good people.
Although I trust my aunt and grandfather's judgment, I know the Tian family members are all of good character.
But in the future, we'll be a family, living a life full of mundane details, and good character alone won't be enough.
Only Grandma could truly know his temperament and personality by going to see him in person.
Grandpa and Grandma Xiaoman were also confused for a moment. After Chunfeng reminded them, they realized what was going on and nodded, saying, "You're right. We need to explain Xiaoman's situation clearly."
Since the Tian family took the initiative to propose marriage in February, although only three months have passed, Xiaoman and Tian Tao have been spending every day together, and they should know whether their temperaments and personalities are good or bad!
It was more than two years after the war began that Xiaoman's grandmother came down the mountain for the first time.
When we first went up the mountain, we were frantically trying to escape, and now we are just as panicked and uneasy.
Although the mountain road had been repaired, it was still rugged and uneven, and the two elderly people walked very slowly. They didn't even dare to ride on the back of a mule, for fear of being shaken off the mountain.
They walked and stopped like this until noon, when Li Laoshi and Errui finally brought Xiaoman's grandparents down the mountain.
By this time, the village had returned to normal; those who were supposed to be working in the fields were working in the fields, and those who were supposed to be doing other work were doing other work.
After Jiang Zhi sent Xiao Man to the Tian family, she asked Xu Genbao and Wang Xiaoju to go to town to buy four sets of bedding and pillows, as well as two wooden beds.
Both sets are for Xiaoman's family use in the fields.
The Tian family has extra houses; they can easily tidy them up and make room for more.
A bed is easy to make; just a few pieces of wood, a bamboo mat, and a bundle of straw are enough to make one.
There weren't many bedding sheets or mats, and they were easily soiled with blood and medicine, so it was convenient to prepare them myself for washing.
The rest is for my own use.
She had already discussed it with Wang Xiaoju and wanted to rent two rooms from her, and move out after her own house was repaired.
Wang Xiaoju's house is also empty.
There are only the couple and their child at home. Whenever they go out to fluff cotton, the house is locked.
Liu would come over every day to open the windows for ventilation, so Jiang Zhi could easily rent two rooms now.
Buying ready-made items is quick. By the time Xiaoman's grandparents arrived in the village, the bed had already been bought and Qiaoyun had made it up.
Upon seeing Xiaoman, Qiaoyun said, "Uncle, Grandma, my mother is at the post station talking to Chief Song and Inspector Zhang."
She said if you get there, you can rest here for a while. If you want to see Xiaoman, I'll take you there.
Just then, Jiang Zhi happened to have to leave, so Qiaoyun came to run the errand.
Grandpa and Grandma Xiaoman were exhausted from coming down the mountain, but they couldn't sit still until they saw their grandson safe and sound, so they insisted on going to the Tian family's house first.
So, Qiaoyun picked up Xiao Caixia and led them to the Tian family's house.
