The old lady smiled and said with emotion, "Do you know who Qingqing's maternal grandfather is?"
"Could it be an old friend?"
"Yes, do you remember Xu Yiping? He's Qingqing's maternal grandfather."
Sang Huaiyuan was somewhat confused. He was not interested in medicine and, like his father, devoted himself to academic studies and rarely went to the pharmacy. But Sun Qiuyun was different. Her father was the accountant of the pharmacy and had been wandering around the pharmacy since she was a child.
“Dr. Xu is that girl’s maternal grandfather? Then her mother must be Yali, right? This is truly an old friend!” Sun Qiuyun was overjoyed. “Yali has always loved following my dad since she was little, and she especially loves playing with the abacus. She could play the abacus like lightning at such a young age.”
She was a few years older than Xu Yali, but because Xu Yali loved going to the pharmacy since she was a child, the two of them had a good relationship. However, after Xu Yiping moved, their contact faded.
Sang Huaiyuan then remembered and laughed, "I remember now, Mingcheng used to play with a pretty girl, wasn't that Xu Yali? Her name was given to her by her aunt!"
"It's her. Not only does Mingcheng like playing with Yali, but your aunt also likes that child. Alas... it's a pity that this child has the same unfortunate fate as your aunt!" The old lady sighed.
Sun Qiuyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what she meant and her expression changed. "Mom, didn't Qingqing say before that she didn't have a mother? Could it be that Yali..."
The old lady nodded. "He died during childbirth and hemorrhage when he gave birth to our youngest son. Qingqing was only five years old at the time. Xu Yiping and his wife also died. Huaiyuan, take some time to investigate why Xu Yiping was brought down back then. It shouldn't have happened!"
Sun Qiuyun was even more puzzled, "Impossible, Dr. Xu is so poor he doesn't even have money for the next day, he's penniless, it's impossible for something to happen to him!"
“I also find it strange, but Qingqing said that her maternal grandfather was reformed on the farm for several years. Later, he died while trying to save Lu Mo’s grandfather. At that time, Yali was pregnant with Qingqing, which is why she and Lu Mo got married.”
The old lady recounted the events of that year. Sun Qiuyun and Sang Huaiyuan were filled with sorrow. The dead are gone, and they are at peace. It is the living who suffer the most!
"Qingqing has had a tough time. With a stepmother comes a stepfather, and she and her younger brother must have a hard time," Sun Qiuyun sighed.
If life were better, Ye Qingqing wouldn't have risked her life to pick Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff. It's clear that her father must have treated her and her siblings badly!
"I asked, but the girl wouldn't say. I guess it's not a good time for her. We should pay more attention to her in the future. After all, she's a descendant of an old friend, and I quite like Qingqing," the old lady instructed.
Mr. and Mrs. Sang nodded. They would certainly take care of Ye Qingqing without needing the old lady to tell them.
Sun Qiuyun glanced at her husband and said, "As long as Qingqing can help Huaiyuan recover, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter, but..."
She hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Mom, I remember Dr. Xu's medical skills weren't very good, right? Where did Qingqing learn her medical skills?"
The old lady smiled. "Xu Yiping always said that his family ancestors were imperial physicians in the palace, for more than ten generations. We didn't believe it, but it's true. The Xu family has many ancient palace prescriptions. Qingqing said that the medicine she prescribed for Huaiyuan was the tonic that the emperor used to take. Moreover, this girl has a talent for medicine. I believe in her."
Sun Qiuyun nodded in delight, "Then I believe it too. The medicine this girl prescribed for you is quite effective. Oh my... this girl is truly our family's lucky star!"
"He's a lucky star!" The old lady laughed heartily.
With the good news, the whole family was overjoyed. Sun Qiuyun looked thoughtful and said, "Mom, do you remember? Yali and Mingcheng were getting quite close. Back then, we all thought they would get together!"
