As the weather gets colder, the old Han family house in Linshui Village cannot be repaired for the time being.
The road to Linshui Village was finally cleared, allowing relief supplies to reach the village. The Han family returned to the village together and collected the old lady's body.
The villagers finally learned the truth, and when they saw the Han family, they all came to greet them.
“Uncle Daping, now the villagers know the truth. They know they were deceived by Han An and Granny Han. Granny Han’s family has been driven out of the village. They are just waiting for the house to be repaired next year when it gets warmer, so you can come back to live there.”
Han Tianbao looked at Han Daping with a smile. His family had also been greatly affected by this incident, and the old village head had even lost his life because of it. However, when they saw the faces of those villagers again, they would still think of what happened that day, and their emotions would be difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Linshui Village has always been our home, but whether we will come back depends on the situation."
Han Daping politely explained the situation. Although it was hard to leave one's homeland, he couldn't feel happy when he saw these people.
"Since that's the case, we won't bother you any longer. But why didn't we see Yulu this time? We were thinking of thanking her."
The villagers felt embarrassed when Cui Yulu was mentioned. They had trusted Granny Han's lies, which not only delayed their family members' treatment but also hurt the person who genuinely wanted to save them. They regretted it afterwards.
Now I'm thinking of finding an opportunity to make it up to them.
"There's no need for that. Didn't you all want to burn her alive? There's even less need for you to pretend to be nice now."
Upon hearing this, the villagers knew that their previous mistakes were unforgivable, but they were not angry. They could only smile apologetically and soon left one by one.
"Daping, come to my house when you're done with your work. I've prepared a meal for you. It's not very lavish, but please don't mind."
The speaker was none other than Lin Xiucai. His house had just been repaired, and he had also received some disaster relief grain from the government, so he was doing alright.
The main question is about the Han family's future plans. If they stay in the village, the marriage between the two children can proceed. However, if the family has better prospects, they don't want to hold them back, so the marriage will be called off.
"That's good, but wait a moment. We have some things to take care of when we get home."
After bidding farewell to Lin Xiucai, Old Madam Jiang was laid to rest. At this time, Cui Yulu was on Fu Xiaoyu's horse, secretly watching Han Yu'an.
She planned to wait until they left before secretly lighting incense and kowtowing three times to her grandmother. After all, her grandmother was the first person in the world besides her parents to treat her well, and she had died trying to save her, so she had to pay her respects.
"It's a pity that Yulu didn't come. I know you must miss Yulu, and we miss her too. But you're such a stubborn grandson, you insisted on kicking her out. So don't blame us, we'll come to see you often in the future."
"What nonsense are you spouting? You can't keep your mouth shut, you're so capable. Yu'an, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. We know you must be feeling bad about making this decision. Don't blame yourself too much. Focus on your exam preparation and try your best to win first place. Then we'll tell your grandma the good news."
Han Yu'an remained silent, and no matter what they said, it did not attract his attention.
At that moment, he wished he were still a fool, so he could foolishly tell Cui Yulu that he would protect her.
He even somewhat hates himself now.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Isn't it good that Grandma is reunited with Grandpa and Uncle's family over there? Let's live well, so Grandma can rest easy over there."
After burning some more paper money, the family returned to their old house.
Liu Meie remembered that Cui Yulu had once instructed her to secretly hide all the money the night before she was arrested.
It was hidden under the third floor tile, beneath the cabinet in Liu Xiuying's room.
The house had been completely demolished by them, and most of the valuables had been taken away. However, they did not touch the wardrobe in Liu Xiuying's room. The clothes inside the wardrobe were taken away, but the wardrobe itself was not destroyed.
Those were a pair of red lacquered cabinets made of jujube wood, bought for us when Han Erzhu was still alive.
The old lady treasured it very much, cleaning it meticulously every day, saying it was left to her by her son so she could look at it whenever she missed him.
As Liu Meie thought about these things, her eyes reddened again. She remembered the days when the old lady used to beat her, and how no one would bully her anymore, but she felt so sad.
As they moved the cabinet, tears welled up in their eyes again. The old lady had actually divided up all the money, giving everyone a share, and there was even a letter in each envelope. But they remembered that their grandmother couldn't write.
Everyone silently shed tears after seeing it. The person who loved them the most in this world has left, and they will have to move forward alone from now on.
"Alright, stop crying. This is Grandma's wish. She wants us all to live well, so she divided this silver into portions for everyone. Take what you need."
Liu Meie said, her voice choked with emotion.
Han Hu and Qiao Niu need to support their child, so they have prepared fifty taels for you.
Han Bao will give you fifty taels to marry a wife. Da Ping and Mei E, you two need to manage your household well and be more frugal in the future, so I'll give you one hundred taels.
Yu'an and Yulu will definitely earn more money in the future, so I left them only thirty taels. But they will earn more in the future, and I will give them more later. Also, you two are what Grandma is most worried about. Yulu is young and doesn't understand many things, so Yu'an should be more tolerant. A couple needs to support and tolerate each other to last. They must not act impulsively and hurt their relationship.
I'm relieved that everyone is living their lives well.
After reading the letter, everyone fell silent again, especially Han Yu'an, who held the silver and felt a surge of emotions. Had he really made a mistake?
Accompanied by Fu Xiaoyu, Cui Yulu arrived at the old lady's grave.
Before she could even speak, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
Thinking back to those days makes my chest feel heavy.
"Grandma, I've come to see you. Please don't blame me, and please don't blame Yu'an. I know he wanted to protect me, and I wanted to protect him too. I didn't want him to be sad, so we're separated for now. But I will still take care of the Han family and will always treat them as my own."
"You must live well over there. Reuniting with Grandpa must be wonderful. If you run into Cao Jinfang again, don't be polite. If she bullies you, teach her a lesson she won't hesitate to teach her a lesson."
"Don't worry, Brother Yu'an will definitely become the top scholar in the imperial examination. You must believe me, my predictions have always been accurate, haven't they?"
Cui Yulu said a lot more. After Fu Xiaoyu finished offering incense, she hid to the side and let her talk to her grandmother. Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind the tree, holding a gleaming dagger and stabbing at her.
Fortunately, Fu Xiaoyu reacted quickly, picking up a small stone from the ground and hitting the man's wrist.
The man cried out in pain as the dagger flew out of his hand.
