as long as this old woman is alive, everything big and small in our family will be decided by me."Mu Yunhe, haven't you gone mad To secretly stash silver to buy a wife for your son.""Until the second...Zhong Yu followed Fang Jinxiu to the door of her room, looking like he had something to say but his wife ignored him, a wronged expression on his face. At the same time, he was also anxiously worried in his heart—would Jinxiu really believe Hu Ailan's ghost stories

"Daughter-in-law."

Fang Jinxiu still felt a little muddled in her head. Rationally, she believed Zong Yu's character wouldn't do such a thing.

But emotionally, seeing Dong'er and him looking so alike, Fang Jinshiu felt like a wall had been built in her heart. She couldn't convince herself to truly ignore it.

She blocked Zongyang at the doorway, "Ayu, please let me have some time alone."

After saying that, with a bang the door closed. Fang Jinxiu wasn't Superman, she too would have times when she felt heartbroken and sad.

Don't be fooled by her calm and dismissive demeanor when she questioned Hu Ailan in the main hall just now.

When she returned to her room, alone, her eyes were as empty as could be. She got into bed and burrowed under the covers, huddling in the corner.

Feeling deeply troubled and weighed down inside.

This night, except for Dong'er, I estimate that no one slept well.

Standing outside the door, Zong Yu thought over and over again. This matter was coming for him, and a man should solve his own problems himself.

He narrowed his eyes, a decision forming in his heart.

The next morning, after Mu Shi got up, she led Dong'er out to prepare to wash the child. As a result, she saw Hu Ai Lan still kneeling on the ground.

Hu Ailan was exhausted and sleepy. The moment she saw Mu Shi and Dong'er, her previously wilting spirit suddenly perked up.

"Auntie Mu, Dong'er, you are up."

Then she softened her gaze and looked at Dong’er, “Dong’er, are you used to sleeping in your grandmother’s bed”

As soon as Hu Ai Lan spoke, Dong'er instinctively hid behind Mu Shi. Her eyes were calm and emotionless, staring at Hu Ai Lan like a dead fish, showing no feeling whatsoever.

After bringing Dong'er back to her room last night, Mu also tried to talk to her, but the child remained silent.

But he would obediently cooperate with undressing and washing his face, even when being fed, and even smiled at her.

Mu shi's heart was filled with worry. As soon as she saw Hu Ai lan, she directly asked.

"I ask you, Dong'er, can he still not speak"

Who's four-year-old child wouldn't speak yet Mu shi was overthinking, that night she thought of countless experiences of her grandson suffering in the Sun family.

I was even worried that the child might have been abused by Hu Ai-lan, which is why he looked like this.

Hu Ailan quickly shook her head, "No, he can speak."

Seeing Mu's discontented expression, Hu Ailan was also clever. She knew that whether she could successfully stay in the family depended entirely on Dong'er. She hurriedly spoke to Dong'er, trying to lead him to speak and thus prove that she wasn't lying.

"Dong'er, it's your mother. Don't be afraid. No matter where we go, your mother will never abandon you."

"If mother can live, you can live too. Call me grandma quickly, please."

Mu felt that Hu Ailan's words were a bit strange. What did she mean by "as long as your mother lives, you can live"

But she didn't think much about it, her attention was all on Dong'er, always expecting the child to speak and call her "Grandma."

Seeing this scene, Fang Jinshu put away her steps towards the hall and turned to tend to the herb garden.

Hu Ailan spoke in fits and starts, and Dong'er became quite impatient. Finally, she opened her mouth and called out to Mu Shi, "Grandma!" Mu Shi was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

She never expected to see her own grandson in her lifetime, nor hear him call her grandmother.

No regrets, this time, truly no regrets.

Dong'er finished shouting and ran out in a flash. Mu shi was afraid that the child would run around and get lost, so she hurriedly chased after him, but she was pulled back by Hu Ai-lan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Aunt Mu, please have some mercy on Ailan. She's really at her wit's end. Even if it's for Dong'er calling you grandma, please let me stay."

After Dong'er came out, she was attracted by the blooming medicinal flowers in Fang Jinshu's pharmacy field. Just as the little one was about to reach out and pick them, Fang Jinshu's voice rang out above her head.

"Poisonous, touching it will rot your hands."

Dong'er was frightened, her hand retracting as she stood up and took two steps back. She looked at Fang Jinshu with a look of intense wariness in her eyes.

Since Fang Jinshi saw the child last night, she felt something was wrong. Dong'er was only four years old, but there were too many strange things about him.

Just that vigilant gaze, which four-year-old child would have such a heavy sense of defense, and his eyes also revealed an indescribable ruthlessness. day he'd had in his entire life.Zong Yu stepped forward to check, confirming that the snake was dead beyond revival. Only then did he nod toward Fang Jinxiu with reassurance.The two let out a breath...
