Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Although Lian Rongrong disliked Wen Hui and didn't believe a word she said, her older brother and Qiu Ju had at least returned alive.

The most important thing right now is to let my mother and sister-in-law know this good news.

With these feelings in mind, Lian Rongrong closed the shop and took the four of them home.

At this moment, Ruan Nianzhi had just returned from her rounds. Not knowing what was going on, Ruan Nianzhi saw Lian Rongrong being so intimate with the man next to her and felt a pang of jealousy.

“Rongrong, who is this…” Ruan Nianzhi suddenly appeared in front of Lian Rongrong, startling her.

Meanwhile, Lian Yijun, standing to the side, also looked at the strange man in front of her with a wary expression, and pressed Lian Rongrong for answers:

"Who is he?"

Lian Rongrong was caught between the two, completely unaware of the tense atmosphere between them.

Lian Rongrong, still holding onto Lian Yijun's arm, excitedly introduced him to Ruan Nianzhi:

“Brother Ruan, this is my elder brother.”

"Your older brother? Your older brother isn't..." Ruan Nianzhi realized her mistake before she could finish her sentence and immediately shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Since Lian Yijun is still alive, Lian Rongrong naturally doesn't care about those things. She just smiles and then says cheerfully to Ruan Nianzhi:

"My older brother is fine, he's alive and well. Come back early tonight, I'll add some extra dishes for everyone."

After saying this, Lian Rongrong eagerly pulled Lian Yijun towards the backyard.

The house that Lian Rongrong rented was divided into two courtyards, front and back. The front house served as Ruan Nianzhi's clinic, while the back courtyard was for the family to live in.

Lian Rongrong walked hurriedly, knowing how much her sister-in-law had suffered these past few days. She didn't want to delay even a moment longer to hear the news that her brother was still alive.

Lian Yijun let Lian Rongrong pull him along, but as he walked, he didn't forget to ask about Ruan Nianzhi from earlier.

"Who is that man?" Lian Yijun asked.

Lian Rongrong slowed her pace slightly, then answered succinctly:

"You mean Brother Ruan, right? He's a doctor and our savior."

We were poisoned by miasma while crossing the jungle. If it weren't for Brother Ruan, we would probably all be dead.

“I see. I saw that person seemed to be…” Lian Yiyun hesitated, but as a man, he knew very well what Ruan Nianzhi’s eyes meant when she saw him.

But when Lian Yiyun thought of her younger sister's heartbroken look when Qi Yuan left without saying goodbye, she swallowed her words.

"Seems like what?" Lian Rongrong stopped and turned to look at Lian Yijun with curiosity.

Lian Yijun smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, he seems to have good medical skills."

"Yes, it's really good. Under Brother Ruan's careful treatment, Mother's health has improved a lot."

While the brother and sister were talking, they had already entered the backyard.

At this moment, Lin Chuyue was cooking porridge for Lian's mother in the small kitchen when she heard footsteps and immediately went to the yard.

The moment Lin Chuyue saw Lian Yijun, the porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the ground.

The porcelain bowl touched the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, but Lin Chuyue seemed completely oblivious.

She just stood there, staring blankly at the man in front of her with an expression as if she were in another world.

"Rongrong, am I hallucinating again?" Lin Chuyue's single word "again" struck Lian Yijun's heart.

The moment he saw his wife, Lian Yiyun's longing of many days finally broke through. He strode forward and embraced his wife tightly.

"Moon, it's not a hallucination. I'm really back! I didn't die!"

Lin Chuyue used all her strength to understand those few words.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Chuyue finally burst into tears. She pounded on Lian Yijun's chest, sobbing uncontrollably.

At this moment, there was nothing but crying, but Lin Chuyue's emotions brought tears to the eyes of Lian Rongrong and Qiuju standing beside her.

The last one to come out was Lian's mother, who had been disturbed by the commotion in the courtyard.

When Lian's mother saw her eldest son return alive, the overwhelming joy almost made her faint again.

Fortunately, Ruan Nianzhi returned in time, which calmed Lian's mother down.

At dinner, everyone sat around the table, and everyone in the Lian family had tears in their eyes, but the tears were tears of joy at having something lost and then found again.

"Dr. Ruan, let me toast you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to our whole family."

"I will forever remember your great kindness and virtue, sir."

Lian Yiyun raised her glass with both hands, tilted her head back, and drank the wine in one gulp. Her previous hostility towards Ruan Nianzhi had long since vanished.

After Lian Yijun returned, Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue told him in detail about what had happened recently.

Therefore, at this moment, Lian Yijun felt only gratitude towards Ruan Nianzhi.

"Brother Lian, you flatter me. It was just a small favor."

Rongrong and I have become sworn siblings, so you don't need to be so polite with me, elder brother. Just let me recite it.

If you don't mind, I'll also call you "Big Brother" like Rongrong does.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yijun laughed loudly, "Good, good, good, I couldn't be happier."

“In that case, I respectfully greet you, Brother Nianzhi.” Ruan Nianzhi raised his cup, nodded, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Throughout the dinner, everyone mingled and laughed, exchanging toasts.

Of course, beneath Wen Hui and Lian Qingwu's joyful exteriors, each harbored their own unspeakable schemes.

Lian Qingwu never expected that she would encounter her nemesis in this godforsaken place.

From the moment Lian Qingwu saw Lian Rongrong, she was certain that the person in front of her was her cousin whom she hated to the core.

Even if Lian Rong and Lian Rongrong didn't look alike, their eyes wouldn't lie.

Those eyes, that look, were the knot in Lian Qingwu's heart for a lifetime.

Lian Qingwu wanted to see Lian Rongrong in despair and pain, but that woman always managed to find hope for life even in despair.

The moment Lian Qingwu saw Lian Rongrong, she poured all the hatred from her past and present lives onto Lian Rongrong.

She doesn't remember conspiring with the scumbag to kill her cousin. For Lian Qingwu, everything was caused by Lian Rongrong.

Even if Lian Rongrong did nothing, even if Lian Rongrong was the victim.

After dinner, everyone chatted in the courtyard for a long time before returning to their rooms.

After Lian Rongrong got her ring back, her life naturally became much better.

The first thing Lian Rongrong did upon returning to her room was to take out milk powder, cod liver oil, teething biscuits, and rice cereal and complementary foods suitable for Fu Bao from her storage space.

During this period, Lian Rongrong felt most sorry for Fu Bao. Now that things have turned around, she naturally wants to make it up to the little guy.

[It's so delicious, Mommy, Fu Bao wants more!]

Watching her little baby gulp down a whole bottle of milk, Lian Rongrong couldn't help but show a smile that only a mother would have.

However, Lian Rongrong had no intention of giving Fu Bao another bottle of milk, since he was already eating enough for his age.

Lian Rongrong opened a teething toy and placed it in Fu Bao's little hand.

"You can't drink formula anymore, it will give you a stomachache. Try this instead."

Fu Bao's chubby little hands gripped the teething stick. Although it wasn't as enjoyable as drinking milk powder, it tasted pretty good.

Just as Fu Bao was drooling over the food, the door to the room opened.

Lian Rongrong peeked into the doorway and saw that the person who came in was Xiao Wu, the adopted daughter that Wen Hui had taken in on the road.
