When Li Lanzhen arrived at the small pier of the Eleven Trees and disembarked from the large boat, she saw Han Shunde standing on the pier.
I wonder where he got the news that he was coming back, and that's why he's standing here waiting?
Unbeknownst to Li Lanzhen, Han Shunde had been waiting and watching here every day since the day after she left.
Or perhaps Liu Zhaodi is here watching over Li Lanzhen.
I just wanted to wait for Li Lanzhen to come back so I could see her first and tell her about Aunt Huaihua.
Li Lanzhen glanced at him expressionlessly, said nothing, and started walking home.
She was anxious to see her grandson and her father, and couldn't be bothered with him.
She wanted to check on the other injured people and see how badly they were hurt.
Han Shunde followed her for a few steps and then stopped.
She quickened her pace and walked beside Li Lanzhen.
"Lanzhen, I want to tell you about my mother."
Li Lanzhen immediately stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and her eyes, like two sharp swords, pierced straight at Han Shunde.
Han Shunde was so startled that he took two steps back before he could stand still.
He stammered, "Lan, Lanzhen, my sister..."
He stammered out a sentence and didn't dare to say anything more.
Li Lanzhen said coldly, "Speak! What's wrong with your mother? What else does your mother want to do? Or rather, what does your whole family want to do?"
"Do you also want my life? Or take one of my legs, one of my arms, to give to that beastly Gu Yuli?!"
Han Shunde immediately waved his hands anxiously in his defense.
"No, no, no, that's not it. It's Lanzhen who is like this."
We bought a small courtyard in Youzhou City and have already sent my mother and Gu Yushi to that courtyard.
I bought a little guy who knows a bit of martial arts; he's watching over my mom there.
"Don't worry, my mother won't go out and cause trouble in the streets!"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Han Shunde let out a long sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
I looked up, wanting to see Li Lanzhen's expression.
Upon hearing this, Li Lanzhen withdrew her icy gaze, remained silent, turned her head, and walked forward.
Han Shunde stood there, unsure whether to follow, stay where he was, or go back.
He was afraid that if he spoke too late, Li Lanzhen would kill him.
Because he saw murderous intent in her eyes.
He shivered, thought for a moment, and then followed Li Lanzhen forward.
And so, the two of them, standing five or six steps apart, slowly made their way to Li Lanzhen's courtyard.
When Li Lanzhen pushed open the courtyard gate, she turned to look at Han Shunde.
"Why are you still following me? Go home. I don't want to see your family."
Li Lanzhen entered the courtyard and returned to her bedroom.
The yard was spotless, and the kang (heated brick bed) in my bedroom was warm and cozy.
She sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) for a while and drank a bowl of spiritual spring water.
Only then did he go to Han Minghai's house to see Han Yitan.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, I saw Miao Miao coming out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of medicine.
Miao Miao visibly relaxed when she saw her come in.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she said, "Grandma, you're finally back! We were so worried about you!"
Li Lanzhen walked over and took the still-hot bowl of herbal medicine from her hands.
He patted her head and said gently.
"Grandma is fine. You all know how capable she is. Don't worry about me."
How are your mother and brother?
“They are all much better. My younger brother has been eating normally since yesterday and keeps asking to see his grandma and eat delicious food.”
"Hahaha, as long as you want to eat something delicious, that's all that matters."
Come on, I'll get him something good to eat.
"That rascal, now that he's healthier, he's turned into a glutton."
Han Yitan was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), reciting the Three Character Classic to Zhang Yuniang, who was lying on the kang.
Upon seeing Li Lanzhen, he immediately tried to get down.
When Miaomiao stopped him from getting off the kang (a heated brick bed), he stretched out his arms, wanting Li Lanzhen to hug him.
"Grandma, Grandma, you're finally back! Your grandson missed you so much!"
Li Lanzhen placed the bowl of medicine she was holding on the kang table and picked up Han Yitan in her arms.
I kissed his little face twice, feeling sorry for him.
"Look, my little grandson has gotten so thin. Grandma will cook you delicious food these next few days and fatten you up, okay?"
Han Yitan hugged Li Lanzhen's neck tightly, rubbing her little face against Li Lanzhen's face, pouting and saying aggrievedly.
"Grandma, I want to eat lollipops, little cakes, red berries, and two big chicken drumsticks."
Li Lianzhen gently stroked Han Yitan's face, which had already recovered from the swelling.
Although the swelling on her face has subsided, the bruising on her face has become more severe.
She thought she would go to her spatial storage later to see if she could find any scar-removing cream.
Zhang Yuniang watched as Li Lanzhen tenderly stroked Han Yitan's bruised and purple face, and said...
"Mother, Dr. Bai gave each of us a bottle of ointment, which is specially applied to reduce swelling and remove marks."
"Oh, really? That's great."
She sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with Han Yitan in her arms, and casually took out three lollipops from her pocket.
"Grandma's good grandson, you want a lollipop, right? Have a lollipop to sweeten your mouth and your face won't hurt anymore."
"Wow, it's a lollipop! Thank you, Grandma! Grandma is the best grandma!"
Li Lanzhen teased him by gently scraping his little nose with her finger.
"Oh, Grandma is the best grandma if she gives you a lollipop, but if she doesn't give you a lollipop, is Grandma the worst grandma?"
Han Yitan sucked on a lollipop and shook his head vigorously.
"No, no, even without lollipops, Grandma is still a perfect grandma."
After he finished speaking, everyone laughed.
Li Lanzhen gave one lollipop to Miaomiao and another to Zhang Yuniang.
Zhang Yuyang blushed. "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Give this to the children."
"Why aren't you a child? You call me 'Mother,' so you're my child. Eat up, it's sweet and will help you forget your pain."
Zhang Yuliang took the lollipop, slowly put it in his mouth, and gently sucked on its sweet taste.
Her eyes reddened, and tears trembled on her eyelashes before finally falling...
Li Lanzhen glanced at her and clicked her tongue twice.
"You're such a grown-up, why are you still crying? Isn't candy sweet? It's not like you're taking bitter medicine, why are you still crying?"
Zhang Yuliang chuckled again.
"Alright, you take good care of yourself. I'll take Han Yitan over there. He can sleep at my place with Han Yibo tonight."
Holding Han Yibai, Li Lanzhen arrived at Li Erhan's house.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, I saw Li Erhan sitting in a rocking chair in the yard, covered with a small blanket, asleep with his eyes half-closed.
Li Lanzhen quickly went over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Dad, how are you feeling? It's still a bit chilly outside. Come back inside and lie down on the kang (heated brick bed)."
When Li Erhan saw Li Lanzhen come in, he chuckled. Perhaps his laughter was too loud, as it aggravated the wound on his cheek.
His lips twitched a few times.
Li Lanzhen held Han Yitan as they sat on a small stool next to him.
"Dad, look at you, you're so old, don't you feel the pain of your wound?"
Let me see if I've reopened any of the wounds.
Li Erhan waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm all better now, don't worry."
Li Erzhen saw a bruise the size of an egg on Li Erhan's forehead and knew that he had hit his forehead on a hard piece of wood.
Li Lanzhen is a little scared now. If she hits a sharp corner again, she will get a bloody hole.
Thinking about it, he cursed Gu Yuli again in his heart.
Hearing the voices in the courtyard, Tonghua helped Li Xishui and Li Guangyang out.
Li Lanzhen looked at the father and son.
"How are you two? Are your legs still hurting these past few days? Has the swelling gone down? Are there any other aches or pains on your bodies?"
Li Guangyang grinned widely, his bright white teeth dazzling in the sunlight.
"Auntie, my dad and I are much better now. Our legs don't hurt anymore, and there are no other problems with our bodies."
Dr. Bai comes to examine our wounds every day and changes the dressings daily.
They also prescribed some tonics for us to drink.
Li Xishui sat on the stool and nodded.
"That's right, we're all fine, so don't worry anymore."
"Sister, you've been gone for days and we're so worried about you."
They all knew that Li Lanzhen had left to avenge them.
They witnessed firsthand that Gu Yuli was a ruthless person, and they were constantly worried and afraid that Li Lanzhen would be harmed.
Now that I see she's back safe and sound, I'm relieved.
