She looked at the people in the restaurant with pride, at the people in the county with pride, and at them spontaneously going to the outskirts of the city, all eagerly awaiting her grandmother's return. This was a scene she had never seen before.
Even when the new county magistrate arrived back then, he had never seen such a scene.
She wondered if she hadn't done something wrong back then, would she also feel proud, would everyone envy her for having such a grandmother?
She saw her grandmother return in the crowd, with her younger brother who had passed the imperial examination and Xueyi who had won fifth place in the legendary women's competition.
Seeing how radiant they both looked, she was genuinely happy for them.
She thought it was good enough that she could see it in the crowd; her life was already excellent, and she could hear many things in the restaurant. She had heard many stories like hers, of people who ended up drowning or being kicked out of their homes.
She realized just how lucky she was. Back then, she was young and naive, blinded by so-called love, unable to see anything, even betraying her family and taking a desperate gamble. It's already quite remarkable that she's still the way she is today.
She still had some silver left, which she could use to open a small restaurant, or she could stay in the restaurant and Sun Jin would always give her something to eat.
Later, she met a man, and when they got married, Sun Jin sent people to deliver her dowry.
Of course, Sun Jin did not come in person, nor did she mention her past; her identity was also new.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the past, afraid that she would regret it and couldn't help but run back.
She's doing very well now. Her in-laws feel sorry for her because she has no family, and they treat her very well. Although they're not extremely wealthy, they're able to eat and dress warmly.
When she saw the person delivering the gift, Sun Yue covered her mouth in disbelief. Her younger brother never appeared again after that. She was terrified, afraid that she and her brother would truly never have anything to do with each other again. But she never expected…
“Miss, my young master said that this is what the madam left behind. The part that belongs to you is given to you, as well as a pastry shop, which you can take over in the future.”
As for him, since he has nothing to do with you anymore, you gave him some silver.
And our second young lady, we've prepared two suitcases for you."
She opened it with trembling hands and saw that inside was an embroidered wedding dress...
This was sewn by her younger sister, stitch by stitch.
There was also a letter above, which was very brief: forget the past and cherish the present.
He also mentioned Lin Xuan's situation.
As for Lin Xuan's mother, after she came out, she went to look for her son, but she probably couldn't find him.
Seeing Lin Xuan dead, she felt no sadness or grief, only a sense that everything was truly over.
She later told her daughter that the old lady Mo Yan, who was mourned by thousands after her death, was her grandmother.
Her daughter didn't believe it at all. How could that be? Her mother was just an ordinary woman. How could she be compared to Old Madam Mo Yan?
At that moment, she silently said in her heart, "Goodbye, Grandmother."
Sun Jin's life was smooth sailing. After passing the imperial examination, she studied under Mo Yan and later became a third-ranked scholar. She met a fan of her grandmother, who, in her words, was her idol.
After they got married, they continued to study food and never gave up. Later, all the Sun family's money was spent on this, including the things bestowed by the emperor.
The most unexpected one was probably Sun Xueyi. She got together with the magistrate's son, and later the two supported each other and shone brightly in their respective hobbies.
The two lived a happy and fulfilling life.
As for Sun Yun's family, they did consider going to find Mo Yan after they got out, but before they could go, they were arrested, which was incredibly embarrassing.
In order to avoid being caught again, they later behaved themselves and lived a quiet life, but they married Sun Xueyao off to someone else at random.
Hearing that Fang died on the road, the two of them quickly married off their daughter.
Later, they argued and even thought that Mo Yan was deliberately targeting them, but they later realized that it wasn't true at all; they really hadn't done a very good job.
When they heard the news of Mo Yan's accident, everyone was shocked.
After all, no one could have imagined that the old lady who was so lively and energetic just a few days ago, fighting tigers, would have such a problem the very next day.
He even made his own arrangements for his funeral, saying he didn't want to publicize it.
When Mo Yan left, everyone went out; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that ten thousand people came to see her off. The emperor even made a plaque for her: "The Legendary Family."
Sun Jin and Sun Xueyi stayed by their grandmother's side. Seeing many people with them, they knew that their grandmother was truly great.
It was around this time that they seemed to be having a dream, a dream about many things, and when they woke up, they were in tears.
Grandma always said that everything they had later was the result of their own hard work, but that's not actually the case.
It was their grandmother who gave them all their courage.
With their grandmother around, they had nothing to fear—no fear of failure, no fear of causing trouble—because they knew that if anything happened, their grandmother would definitely solve it for them.
Knowing they have a family, knowing they have support in case of trouble, allows them to forge ahead bravely.
They have a home because they know someone cares about them and takes care of them.
Grandmother, you are our source of strength.
With you here, we have nothing to fear and can just charge forward.
They are not afraid of anything bad. They can tell themselves that there is nothing to be afraid of. At worst, they can just go home and find their grandmother.
But now...
They have no home.
They knew better than anyone else that they would still be siblings, taking care of each other and thinking of each other, but they would no longer have a home.
When Grandma was alive, they would often go back to the house, eat together, and do many things together. Now that Grandma is gone, the house is just an empty shell, not a home.
They went from being one family to two families, and their home became a shared home with other people.
They no longer have a home, no longer have that place they could always return to whenever they were sad or upset.
Just then, the butler gave them a box containing the land deed...
"The old lady said that as long as you two are still here, that is your home. There is a home there, and that is where you have a sense of security. If you two are no longer here, that doesn't matter. This place will remain here... or you can dispose of it yourself."
At this moment, they were once again moved to tears.
How could Grandmother do this, moving them to tears time and time again?
"The old lady also said not to grieve for too long, but to do what you should do, and to look further ahead, to the Great Yun Dynasty!"
Later, the two of them would often go home for meals, and indeed everything there remained the same.
The year Sun Jin fell seriously ill, Sun Xueyi went to see her younger brother, saying, "Little brother, don't be afraid, your sister will take you home! The home that Grandma left us."
