The two took a bite of the fish and looked at each other in surprise before repeatedly praising the deliciousness of the food.

Yun Nan smiled so widely that her eyes became crescents, and she replied, “I’m glad you like it. Please, have some more.” Her adoptive parents had yet to have a chance to eat the food she made before they passed on. But now, her grandparents were eating her food on their behalf—Yun Nan’s wish had finally come true.

After dinner, Gu Bei dragged Shi Nian off to discuss investment plans. This town that had saved their only daughter—from the residents to the plants and trees—was their benefactor. They had to repay them well and build this place up so that the souls of their daughter and son-in-law could rest in peace here. Even if death separated them, they still wanted to do their best to give their daughter happiness.

Hai Hua secretly shed tears at that, and Ye Kun silently participated in the planning. There was nothing more touching than the love of parents for their children.

Yun Nan accompanied Chen Yao as they slowly walked through the streets and alleys of the town, telling her about her past stories growing up in this town. cnen Yao listened extremely attentively, wismng tnat sne could t0110W Yun Nan’s voice and travel to her daughter’s side, even if it was just her soul.

Yun Nan knew what she was thinking and slowly uttered, “Mom was very happy and peaceful. She and Dad were happy here. This was the place she loved the most. Grandma, at this moment, my mom must also sense you and Grandpa. She must be ecstatic walking around with you here. She wants her parents to be happy, just like how you want her to be, isn’t that right?”

Chen Yao was stunned and subconsciously looked around. Her gaze lingered on every brick, tile, grass, and tree around her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Tears dripped from the corners of her eyes, but her lips curled up into a smile.

Chen Yao opened her eyes and looked at Yun Nan emotionally as she stated,

“You’re right, dear child. My daughter would definitely wish that her father and I would live healthily. We will one day be reunited, so there’s no hurry. She’s so kind; we’ll continue her kindness and help more people.”

Yun Nan nodded. “Grandma, my mother definitely heard every word you said.” Chen Yao wiped the tears from her face and resolutely walked forward, her mood no longer as depressed as before.

Yun Nan, who had a sleepless night, and Chen Yao, who had a weak body, both fell ill that night, having experienced such emotional ups and downs.

Fortunately, the town doctor’s Chinese medicine skills were very good, and the Gu family had brought their family doctor along, so the two women received timely treatment. They moved the two into the same room to make it easier for Xiang Yang, Fang Xi, and the others to care for them.

Looking at his slumbering wife and granddaughter on the bed, Gu Bei said to Shi Nian and Ye Kun, “You two, help me out with something.”

“Go ahead and tell us,” Shi Nian replied.

Gu Bei narrowed his eyes and stated, “Help me find the family that adopted Xiao He back then, and then find the people who kidnapped her. Even if my daughter is no longer around, I won’t let anyone who hurt her get away with

“Okay! We’ll have someone look into it immediately,” Shi Nian and Ye Kun answered in unison.

Chen Yao and Yun Nan’s illnesses came and went quickly. Their fever finally broke three days later, and both were in good spirits.

“We would all collapse from exhaustion if Grandma didn’t get better,” Shi Xiu said as she fed Chen Yao some porridge.

“Thank you,” Chen Yao said as she looked at Shi Xiu apologetically.

Shi Xiu tilted her head and smiled. “Then, you need to get better soon, Grandma. Xiang Yang and I didn’t have to do much because we didn’t know how to do anything. Fang Xi had a harder time, but she’ll put it on Yun Nan’s tab. They owe each other so much that they won’t be able to repay their debts in their lifetime.”

Chen Yao smiled. “You’re all good kids.” She reached out and touched Yun Nan’s forehead. “Our Yun Nan is a good child with good fortune. She’s quite lucky to have met you all.”

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Yao and Yun Nan with her chin on her hand. “Grandma, do you still need a granddaughter? I want to be your granddaughter, too.”

Chen Yao stretched out her hand to her. “I’d be happy to have you. You’re all such good granddaughters; I don’t mind having more! All of you will be my granddaughters from now on!”

Other than Shi Xiu, who grew up doted upon in a family that didn’t lack love, Fang Xi and Xiang Yang both had rough lives. People often yearned for what they lacked the most. Chen Yao’s love softened not only Yun Nan but also the onlookers—Xiang Yang and Fang Xi.

For half of Chen Yao’s life, aside from searching for her daughter, Chen Yao was also the Gu family’s significant second madam. She was used to the inconstancy of the world and fickleness of human relationships and well-understood the ways of the world. She could tell these girls were kind and transparent, and she liked them from the bottom of her heart..
