Tang's mother seemed to have heard her words and gradually calmed down. She slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw Lin Zao directly above her.
“Zao Niang…” Tang’s mother burst into tears instantly. She thought she would never see her children again in this life. Then she became anxious and tried to get up.
"Where are Tiger Head and Ya Ya? Are they alright?"
Lin Zao quickly pressed down on Tang's mother to prevent her from getting up.
"It's alright, they're all here. Hu Tou Ya Ya, come quickly and see Grandma! Grandma's awake!"
Lin Zao called out to the two children beside her.
Following Lin Zao's gaze, Tang's mother saw the two children. Seeing that Hu Tou and Ya Ya were looking at her happily, she felt relieved.
"Grandma, you're finally awake! Did you hear what my sister and I said to you?"
Tiger Head loved his grandmother very much. During the days when Tang's mother was in a coma, he often whispered a lot of things in her ear without even Lin Zao noticing.
"My dear grandson, I'm so glad you and Yaya are alright. Although I didn't hear what you said, now that I'm awake, you can talk to me more. I love talking to my grandchildren the most!"
Tang's mother glanced around the room and, noticing the medicine Lin Zao was holding, cautiously asked...
"Zao Niang, where is this?"
Lin Zao scooped a spoonful of medicine from her hand and brought it to Tang's mother's lips.
"Mother, this is a clinic. Drink your medicine while it's hot. After you finish, I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
Upon hearing this, Tang's mother immediately became anxious and forgot all about taking her medicine!
"Zao Niang! Help me up quickly, let's get out of here! Why did you bring me to the clinic! Where are we going to get money for medical treatment and medicine! You child, you're so inconsiderate, I don't need medicine, I'll just have to tough it out!"
Seeing that Tang's mother was so agitated, Lin Zao quickly put down the medicine and comforted her.
"Mother, don't worry about the money. I have a plan!"
"What can you do! Don't lie to me, take us away from here!" Tang's mother didn't believe Lin Zao's words at all and struggled to get up.
The two children were frightened by the conflict between their grandmother and mother, and clung tightly to Lin Zao.
"Mother! Believe me! Since I was able to safely bring you from there to Luolin City, I must have my own methods!" Lin Zao emphasized, looking at Tang's mother with a firm gaze.
Tang's mother was so shocked by Lin Zao's sudden assertiveness that she was unable to resist and subconsciously obeyed her.
She said timidly, "I can't control you anymore, you've gone too far..." But in her heart, she was thinking that if things really got bad, she would do laundry, cook, and clean for the clinic to pay off the debt.
Lin Zao picked up the medicine and fed it to Tang's mother again. This time, Tang's mother didn't dare to refuse and obediently drank the medicine. Anyway, it had already happened, so there was no use refusing now.
After taking her medicine, Tang's mother looked out the door, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself, as if she was in a difficult position.
Lin Zao noticed Tang's mother's actions and guessed what Tang's mother wanted to ask, so she didn't intend to hide it from her.
“After I escaped the robbers with my children, my father, my elder brother and sister-in-law, my sister-in-law stole my bundle and pushed me into a tree. When they saw that I was injured, they abandoned us and left for Yuezhou!”
Tang's mother seemed somewhat incredulous upon hearing this, her eyes glazing over for a moment. What she had desperately protected had ended up like this!
Suddenly, Tang's mother closed her eyes tightly, her expression one of despair, her face ashen. How devastating must it be for an ancient woman to be abandoned by her husband!
Seeing this, Lin Zao was afraid that Tang's mother might do something rash, so she quickly picked up Hu Tou Ya Ya and placed her next to Tang's mother.
"Mother, you still have us. The two children are still so young, we can't live without you! Besides, we plan to go to Ganzhou to find our husband. Don't you want to find him, Mother?"
As expected, upon hearing Lin Zao's words, Tang's mother seemed to forget her grief and immediately looked at her, as if she were the last straw in her heart.
"We're heading towards Ganzhou now, and we're currently in Luolin Prefecture!"
"Yes, Grandmother, Mother promised to take us to find Father. Mother is very powerful!"
When Ya Ya heard her mother's words, she quickly came out to testify that her mother was a goddess who had granted her a wish!
When Tang's mother heard Ya Ya's words, she was certain that Lin Zao had not lied to her. The weight in her heart was lifted, and she seemed to have found a new purpose. Her complexion immediately brightened.
She assumed her husband was dead, since he had always only cared about the eldest son's family, and the youngest son was just a sacrifice for the eldest son in his eyes.
From now on, Jian'er will be her support. Anyway, they went to Yuezhou, which is in the south and Ganzhou in the north, thousands of miles apart. They probably won't see each other again in this lifetime!
After drinking her medicine, Tang's mother tried to sit up, but then suddenly remembered something.
"Why did you come back to me again? This is so dangerous! If something happens to you and the two children, what's the point of me living!"
After saying this, Tang's mother looked terrified. Fortunately, nothing had happened to her and her children, otherwise she would never forgive herself.
Lin Zao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tang's mother seemed to have shifted her attention.
She didn't know how to tell Tang's mother about her leg problem. She had just suffered such a huge blow, and if she found out that she would never be able to walk again, she wondered if Tang would do something rash.
"Mother, you are badly injured and need to rest more. Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of everything! Once you've rested, we'll set off to find my husband!"
Lin Zao helped Tang's mother up, wanting her to lie down and not move around.
Tang's mother hadn't been paying attention to herself since she woke up. Now that she realized what was happening, she discovered the excruciating pain she was experiencing. Her lower back and abdomen were almost numb from the pain, and her legs were so painful that she felt like she had no feeling at all.
As if guessing something, Tang's mother looked at her legs hesitantly, trying to move them, but there was no response for a long time. She slowly turned her head to look at Lin Zao!
