The year-end is approaching.
Xu's father helped Bo Jingran prepare the dishes. After these few days, he could tell that the boy was quite good at cooking.
Xu Qingqing was chatting with her grandparents, talking about her experiences in the production team and sharing some gossip she knew. The old couple were having a great time.
Grandma Xu laughed and said, "You're such a young girl, why do you talk so much?"
Xu Qingqing disagreed and pouted, "What do you mean? In the countryside, all I do is work. There's no fun. I just chat with the old ladies in the production team about everyday things."
Grandma Xu tapped Xu Qingqing's forehead with her index finger and sighed, "If our family hadn't gotten involved with that mother and daughter, you wouldn't have gone to the countryside."
When the topic turned to the mother and daughter, Grandpa Xu stopped reading the newspaper, his brows furrowed in displeasure. "Why are you talking about that mother and daughter? Isn't that just bad luck?"
Grandma Xu was so angry at the old man's words that she almost fell over. Her eyes widened as she glared at him: "You old man, you don't care about Qingqing, and you won't even let me say anything? Look at you, all you do is hold your newspaper and read it all day long. Why don't you just live with the newspaper instead of making me angry?"
"Hey? How could I not feel sorry for Qingqing? Don't wrong me." Grandpa Xu was displeased, and then said, "I read the newspaper to learn about national affairs. What do you old woman know?"
"Yes, yes, I don't understand, okay!"
After saying that, Grandma Xu turned her head away from Grandpa Xu.
Xu Qingqing watched from the side. When Grandpa Xu noticed, he glared at her and muttered, "You little ungrateful brat, all you do is watch the show."
Xu Qingqing chuckled and said, "Grandpa, don't I know you? You'll definitely give in to Grandma in a little while."
Grandpa Xu glanced at Xu Qingqing and snorted, "Who would back down!"
He left those words behind and continued reading the newspaper.
Xu Qingqing turned to Grandma Xu, shrugged, and spread her hands: "See!"
Grandma Xu was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't expected Xu Qingqing's personality to become so lively after going to the countryside, which was a good thing, she thought.
At this point, Grandma Xu glanced at the kitchen, where her husband and the young man named Bo Jingran were preparing. She bent down and asked, "Qingqing, are you sure he's alright?"
It's no wonder Grandma Xu was so worried. Anyone would be worried if they heard that their young daughter had found a partner with poor health, especially someone who could pass away at any moment.
Xu Qingqing repeatedly explained and assured Grandma Xu, "Grandma, I swear, Bo Jingran's health will absolutely not be a problem!"
Just kidding, how could the elixirs passed down from our ancestors be counterfeit? As long as Bo Jingran doesn't do anything reckless, he'll live to die without any problems.
Otherwise, why would there be people secretly coveting the elixir formulas of our ancestors?
Since Xu Qingqing insisted that Bo Jingran was healthy, Grandma Xu didn't say anything more.
After a joyful New Year's Eve dinner, the family sits together to stay up late and enjoy this brief but warm time.
Bo Jingran held Xu Qingqing's hand, looking at her with affection in his eyes, and his smile grew deeper and deeper.
This was a beautiful and warm feeling that Bo Jingran had never experienced before, and all of this was brought to him by Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing tried to pull her hand back, but Bo Jingran was very strong. She was afraid that if she used too much force, Bo Jingran would fall down due to inertia and die on the spot.
So I ignored the hand, lay down on the table and went to sleep, just like I was staying up all night to welcome the New Year. Anyway, I didn't go back to my room to sleep, so it wasn't against the rules.
When Xu Qingqing woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Bo Jingran's handsome face. Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she turned over and went back to sleep.
When Bo Jingran woke up again, he was already up. He looked out the window, still half asleep, and saw that everything outside was white.
It's snow!
In the distance, children were gathered together building snowmen and having a snowball fight, having a great time.
Xu Qingqing walked through the snow to the Wen family's old house, which had long been occupied by other people, and there was no trace of the original owner's childhood memories.
A wave of sadness slowly washed over her. Xu Qingqing subconsciously touched the corner of her moist eye and looked at the tear on her finger. So it was she who had been crying.
It was the original owner's remaining consciousness crying. After Wen's mother left, the entire maternal grandfather's family disappeared overnight, which was a huge blow to the original owner.
In the original owner's memory, the maternal grandfather's family suddenly disappeared. The house was in a mess and had been searched by someone. In particular, the books passed down from their ancestors also disappeared along with the maternal grandfather's family.
Grandpa Xu used his connections to search for them, but in the end, he was only told that the people who took away his maternal grandfather's family came from a very powerful and influential family, one that even he dared not offend.
So the matter was dropped.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Xu Qingqing's lips. Those people had been plotting to find the Wen family's elixir formula for hundreds of years, but they had never been able to.
Taking Grandpa's family away was simply to get clues about the elixir formula from Grandpa, but unfortunately, even if we took Grandpa away, it would be useless.
Thinking of this, a trace of worry flashed in Xu Qingqing's eyes. Would those people harm her maternal grandfather's family? And were her maternal grandfather's family safe and sound?
“I know you’re still here, and you’re worried about Grandpa and the others, aren’t you?”
Xu Qingqing closed her eyes and carefully sensed the original owner's consciousness. After a while, she found nothing, as if it were an illusion.
Xu Qingqing was certain that the original owner's consciousness was still inside her. Was she too weak to come out?
Xu Qingqing: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you see the fate of those people with your own eyes."
A gust of wind blew by, ruffling Xu Qingqing's hair, as if the original owner's consciousness was responding to her.
Xu Qingqing shivered, clutched her cotton coat tightly, and gritted her teeth.
Thank you so much!
Xu Qingqing took one last look at the Wen residence before turning and leaving, her gaze lingering on one spot for a moment.
Then he looked away and walked home.
If she wasn't mistaken, that person was Lin Meijiao?
Lin Meijiao has already been sent to a farm for re-education, so who has the power to get her out?
Her belly was also ridiculously large, clearly indicating she was pregnant and about to give birth.
Even though Zhang's mother was so ruthless and specifically targeted the lower abdomen, she still couldn't get rid of it. Xu Qingqing couldn't help but marvel at how amazing the protagonist's halo was.
I wonder if that little brat will fall in love with the heroine's daughter in the future, just like in the book.

Soon it was time to say goodbye.
Mr. Xu saw the two of them off at the train station, telling Xu Qingqing to be careful while she was away. At the same time, he glared at Bo Jingran and said fiercely, "You brat, if I find out you've bullied my daughter, I'll beat your head to a pulp."
Bo Jingran's eyes were firm as he said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely not let Qingqing suffer any injustice, I promise."
Xu Qingqing chimed in, "Dad, your daughter has always been the one bullying others, no one has ever been able to bully me. You're overthinking it."
Mr. Xu was unhappy. His daughter was siding with outsiders and was obviously trying to fool him.
Hey! You brat, just you wait!
Bo Jingran suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He shivered and looked around. He noticed that his father-in-law's gaze was particularly terrifying.
Bo Jingran: "..."
