Wenli raised her child alone, strong and independent, and devoted all her energy to her work at the neighborhood committee.
Her parents are in poor health and have been taking medication to stay alive. They just hope that she can find another man to marry as soon as possible.
Ten years ago, during a torrential downpour, she was entrusted to visit and comfort the villagers in the countryside. Coincidentally, she rescued Lin Baoguo, who had struggled to swim across but collapsed from exhaustion.
She recognized the man who had awakened her first love at first sight, and seeing him again still made her heart pound.
She first used the excuse that Lin Baoguo was her relative to send the others away, but after learning that he had amnesia, she had the idea of taking him home.
She used the money to buy Lin Baoguo a set of clothes from a fellow villager, changed Lin Baoguo into them, and then threw Lin Baoguo's clothes to the beggars who were watching.
She brought Lin Baoguo home, initially calling him her cousin, and later obtained legal status for him and invited him to marry into her family.
Although her parents knew the truth, they didn't say anything because they thought their daughter had finally found someone to rely on, and later passed away peacefully.
As time went on, everyone got used to the relationship between Wen Li and Mu Chengyi.
Who says a cousin can't be a husband? Nobody has any objections, so it's not appropriate for outsiders to comment.
In the ward, Zhao Xiaolan sighed, pulling Wen Li's thoughts back to reality.
“Wen Li, actually, I was also at fault in this matter. Come to think of it, you were the one who took a liking to Bao Guo first!” Zhao Xiaolan sighed.
Wen Li shook her head. "No, I was too selfish! Even if I had said I wanted to be with Cheng Yi, my parents wouldn't have agreed. They only wanted me to marry a city person from the beginning."
Later, if they hadn't become unwell, they wouldn't have agreed to my absurd decision. Therefore, I don't deserve forgiveness at all!
As she spoke, Wenli started pulling at the IV needle in her arm and crying, determined to commit suicide again.
Zhao Xiaolan sternly stopped her, "Wen Li, if you really think you've done something wrong, it's not too late to make amends. Anyway, I don't need Bao Guo anymore, so I'm asking you to take good care of him from now on!"
Wen Li looked up at her blankly: "Cousin, what did you say? You miss him so much, how can you just let go like that?"
Zhao Xiaolan pursed her lips, beckoned Liu Zhengfeng over, and said shyly, "I've been getting along well with Captain Liu these days, and I'd like to try being with him."
Actually, she hadn't thought this through before coming to Wenli's ward, but now she just calmly said it.
Liu Zhengfeng was extremely excited. He quickly walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and looked at her affectionately. "Xiao Lan, you've finally agreed. I've been waiting for you to say this for so long."
"Don't get cocky, I just said I'd give it a try," Zhao Xiaolan said, glancing at him and scolding him for making him arrogant.
Liu Zhengfeng grinned from ear to ear, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the trial."
Seeing the interaction between the two and the genuine feelings in their eyes, Wen Li truly believed that they had feelings for each other. She felt comforted, secretly glanced at Mu Chengyi, and then lowered her head shyly.
Mu Chengyi put his arm around her shoulder and chuckled, "Now you can rest easy! Let's not think about those old things anymore, let's look forward."
Mu Xiaoting then realized that Zhao Xiaolan had asked her to pass on those hurtful words to provoke Wen Li and try to wake her up quickly.
Once the conversation was over, everyone felt comfortable, and the atmosphere in the ward immediately became more relaxed.
When Luo Hao arrived later and saw the two families getting along so well, he felt as if his eyes had been shocked.
After Mu Xiaoting explained the whole story, he was stunned for a long time before he could process it.
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Quickly call him brother-in-law." Mu Xiaoting gave him a push.
I used to call him "Brother Ye" so smoothly, but now calling him "Brother-in-law" feels so awkward!
Soon, Wenli and Zhao Xiaolan recovered from their illnesses, and the two parted ways reluctantly, returning to their respective homes.
Mu Chengyi and Wen Li returned home and decided not to change their names back to their original names, and to remain husband and wife with Wen Li forever.
Liu Zhengfeng had only been intimate with Zhao Xiaolan for two days when he had to send her home. He was extremely reluctant to part with her and wished he could go back with her.
“Zhengfeng, although I really want to stay with you, my grandchildren need me right now, and I can’t leave them,” Zhao Xiaolan said regretfully.
Only Liu Ying knew that since Zhao Xiaolan left, her father had been either at work or lost in thought, suffering from lovesickness.
A few more days passed, and the school's admission notices arrived one after another. As expected, Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing both received their notices.
With the start of September approaching, Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye's schedule was still not finalized.
She was originally planning to leave as soon as she received the notification, but Zhao Xiaolan recovered from her illness, and her decision to stay or leave became a problem.
When Liu Zhengfeng bid her farewell, he had already expressed his feelings and his desire to marry her, but Zhao Xiaolan had not yet made up her mind and felt quite conflicted.
The thought of staying behind and not seeing her three beloved grandchildren for six months made her sad.
After talking about Zhao Xiaolan, let's talk about Lin Chunhua. She felt that she was divorced and had never traveled far from home. She really wanted to go to Beijing with them to take care of the three babies, but she was afraid that she would become a burden to Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing.
I'm a little undecided for a moment.
Lu Wanqing didn't rush to set off, letting them think it over carefully before making a decision.
Thinking about the thirty acres of riverside land that had been bought back, which were not yet properly managed, Lin Ye decided to have someone find someone to clear the land and plant trees on it.
After Lin Ye inquired and learned that it was possible to plant trees, he spent money to hire people to burn grass and plant trees along the river every day.
While he was in the county town, he took Zhao Xiaolan with him and let her stay at Liu Zhengfeng's house so that they could develop a relationship.
Lin Xiaocui and Lin Chunhua stayed at home, helping Lu Wanqing look after the three babies.
In the sweltering summer heat, with not a breath of air, the babies wore little bibs specially made by Elaine Chao. The three babies looked like the Fuwa mascots, adorable to all.
As evening fell, a few people were enjoying the cool shade under the banyan tree, playing with the baby, when suddenly an old woman with a haggard face and a teenage girl entered the yard.
The woman was wearing a light gray cloth shirt and trousers, with many patches on them. The little girl was dressed similarly, and it was clear that her family was not well-off.
The two men timidly peeked into the yard, and when they saw Lin Chunhua, their expressions were a mix of laughter and tears, clearly indicating their great excitement.
“Huaihua, look how much that person looks like you, she must be your sister!” the old woman said to the little girl.
The little girl bit her lip and mustered her courage to call out into the yard, "Sister, can you come out for a moment?"
Lin Chunhua took a closer look at the little girl and was taken aback. Her eyebrows and eyes really did look somewhat like her own. Could she really be her younger sister?
