No member of the Lin clan is unable to remarry; it's just that they are reluctant to part with Lin Anshi and Li Xiashi, which is why they haven't spoken up yet.
Xia Hua stood up and said, "It has nothing to do with them. Even without them, we would leave. Elder, you can all guess. So let's just say it: we want to leave this world."
"We've stayed here a few more years to protect you, and it's time for us to leave." If it weren't for our fears, we wouldn't have stayed for another six years.
She's already over sixty years old. If she doesn't travel back in time, she'll find it hard to bear looking at her old face. Before, she could take medicine to regulate her condition, but now, no medicine works.
She should thank her ancestors for their blessings every day as she watches herself grow old, wrinkles appear on her face, her hair thins, and her teeth remain intact.
Moreover, as they get older, they can't drink as much as they want anymore. They can only drink a little each time, because drinking too much will cause health problems. But for people like her and Shushu who love alcohol, not drinking would be torture.
When Wen Er, Wen Shan, and Wen Shi heard her say that, they covered their heads, squatted in the corner and cried, hitting their heads and saying sorry.
“Why are you crying? Although it’s partly your fault, An’s health is too poor. Without you, she wouldn’t live for more than a few years. Besides, we’ll have to flee famine later, so she won’t live long,” An Shuyi said.
“Get up and listen carefully. We’ll take care of things and leave tomorrow. After we’re gone, bury us separately, and the memorial tablets will still be Lin An’s.”
“Sister-in-law, do you really have to leave? As long as you don’t leave, we can help you and the young master arrange your marriage,” said Village Chief Lin.
He didn't want his two sisters-in-law to leave; without them, he couldn't believe what would happen to the village.
Xia Hua said impatiently, "We need you to arrange our marriage? That's unnecessary. Staying here, we're old women in our forties, but if we leave, we're still twenty-year-old girls."
“Every time I hear you call me sister-in-law, I feel terrible. I’m only two years older than your son, and you still call me sister-in-law. I led you through the famine to protect you, and we went hungry, sometimes going from one meal to the next.”
"Now that we can leave, you still want to stop us. Actually, you're smarter than us. You were the first to discover that we weren't the original owners, and you even made others keep it a secret. Fortunately, we didn't intend to hide it from you."
Village Chief Lin's smile was more like a grimace. "I didn't want this either. Without my two sisters-in-law, our entire village would have been wiped out long ago. We wouldn't be where we are now."
Actually, he heard what Uncle An and his two sisters-in-law were saying when they were talking, but for the sake of his people, he could only tell them not to talk nonsense and not to ask questions about anything they saw, all in order to protect his people.
"So you're quite clever. But since I'm using this body, it's only right that I help you. When we're not around, you'll have to handle some things yourself," Xia Hua said.
The village also has sewing machines, light bulbs, and many other things that can't be made, which can only be handled by wood.
Village Chief Lin nodded, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll handle it."
After they finished explaining, no one left. Instead, they sat there and asked An Shuyi and Xia Hua about their world. Since everyone in the room was one of their own, the two of them told them.
Seeing their surprised and curious expressions, I was also very happy. But eventually, dawn would break, so Village Chief Lin arranged for someone to cook a meal. They had to have a meal before leaving.
An Shuyi was called outside by her father. "Shuyi, thank you for everything you've done."
For so many years, he had never left the village. The last time he went out was to the capital when the emperor got married. He never imagined that his daughter would do so much to change the An family and the Lin clan.
“Father, what are you saying? It’s only right that your daughter does all this. I can’t just call you Father for nothing. Luckily, you told Mother about this a long time ago, otherwise she would have been so upset,” An Shuyi said.
Over the years, An's parents have been in good health and have been taking medicine to regulate their bodies. Originally, An's father did not want to say that she was no longer An, but she felt that she still had to say it.
Otherwise, if we only find out now, she's too old to bear such devastating news.
Fortunately, as Mr. An had mentioned before, although Mrs. An was somewhat sad last night, she was alright.
"She'll be fine in a few days, but are you really not going to marry Young Master Xiao? Can he really go to that world with you?" Father An asked.
It's quite rare to see a former prince drag his nephew down from the throne for the sake of his daughter.
Actually, he had no objection as long as his daughter got married, even if it was in his daughter's body. Even if his daughter was still alive, he could remarry.
"Yes, Father, don't worry, we'll get married in the other world."
"That's good. Now your father can rest assured. Go and talk to Wenyi and the others. Be good to them in the future." Father An patted her head.
An Shuyi nodded, "Yes, Dad!" Then she walked to the side and looked at her sons and grandsons, "If you have any questions, you can ask your maternal grandfather. He knows more about them."
Wenyi shook his head. "Mother, we have nothing to ask. Just make sure you take good care of yourself over there."
He had long suspected that this was not his mother, but so what? He would just treat her as his second mother and be just as filial to her.
The other sons didn't have anything to ask either; their eyes were filled with reluctance, and Wen Shan and the others also felt guilty.
"Wenyi, you guys go ahead first. I want to talk to Wenshan and the others."
"Yes, Mother!"
Once no one was around, An Shuyi said, "Don't feel guilty. While your mother did have some reasons, it was because of you, but it wasn't the whole story."
“In the previous life, you did very well. Not only did you not abandon your brother, but after becoming generals, you also went out of your way to collect Huaijin’s body and protect your maternal grandfather and Huairou.”
"Actually, there are many things I don't know. You can ask your maternal grandfather; he knows everything."
Wen Shan and the other two were puzzled. Why was there anything about their maternal grandfather? What about his past life, collecting Huai Jin's body, protecting their maternal grandfather, and Huai Rou? "Mother, let's go ask our maternal grandfather."
"Go ahead, but don't let your older brother and the others know about this. It's enough that you know." After saying that, An Shuyi returned to the cafeteria.
After finishing their meal, the four returned to the house, washed up, changed into dresses, and did not wear any jewelry.
Back in the canteen, everyone in the village was already waiting there. An Shuyi took out the time travel passes and distributed them to the three of them.
Suddenly, Yan Zhen knelt down and said, "Thank you both, Grandma. Please take care." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone except the elders and peers knelt down.
An Shuyi smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Just be a good emperor." She placed her hand on the ground, and the three of them did the same. Instantly, a ray of sunshine appeared in the already gloomy sky and shone on them.
Under everyone's gaze, the group slowly closed their eyes and breathed their last.
