"to make."
After the two left, Du Mingxian took out some spiritual spring water from her space and fed it to the old lady little by little. Fortunately, the old lady was still conscious of swallowing, and soon a whole bowl of spiritual spring water was gone.
She stopped feeding him; sometimes overfeeding isn't necessarily a good thing.
After feeding the old lady water, Du Mingxian stared at her. When the old lady didn't react, she started to sit and daydream, thinking about what kind of business to do.
After a long while, a hoarse and questioning voice pulled her back to reality, "Who are you?"
Du Mingxian looked down and met a pair of wary eyes. "Grandma, you're awake."
The old lady frowned. "Grandma? I don't have a daughter."
Du Mingxian didn't know how to explain to the old lady, so she simply said, "Please wait here for a moment, I'll go and call my cousin over."
Upon entering the kitchen, Du Mingxian said to Xu Tingting, "Cousin, let my mother cook. You can keep me company and talk to me; it's a bit boring sitting alone."
Mrs. Zhou rarely saw her daughter so willful, so she immediately urged Xu Tingting, "Tingting, go quickly, your aunt can really manage on her own."
When Xu Tingting met Du Mingxian's gaze, she immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. I'm going to play with my cousin."
"go quickly."
After the two came out, before Xu Tingting could say anything, Du Mingxian gave her a look, and the two went into the main room one after the other. "The person is awake, go and explain."
Ever since she bought the old lady, she has been in a coma. Even when she wakes up, she is still confused. But now she looks like she has really woken up.
Xu Tingting was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran in. When she saw that the person on the bed had woken up, she immediately lowered her voice and cried softly, "Grandma, you've finally woken up."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Tingting. "What happened?"
Xu Tingting quickly wiped away her tears and recounted what had happened.
The old lady learned about Xu Tingting's decision to sell the two women when she woke up from her illness. She was surprised that she was lucky enough to be bought back to be a grandmother.
"I understand."
Xu Tingting then explained a few more things in detail before saying to the old lady, "Grandma, I just hope you live. I've never had any relatives since I was little, and I'm scared."
The girl's face was warm in her palm, and the old lady lovingly stroked her head. "Alright, stop being so coquettish. Go tell your aunt that I've woken up. I want to see the daughter I've been waiting for all these years."
"it is good."
After Xu Tingting came out, she nodded to Du Mingxian. Du Mingxian composed herself and ran outside while shouting, "Mom, Grandma is awake! Grandma is awake!"
Zhou was cooking when she heard the old lady wake up. She hurriedly put down the knife in her hand and rushed over without even wiping her hands, looking very nervous. "Mingxian, your grandmother is awake?"
"Yes, she's awake, she's awake. Mother, go in and check on her quickly."
After rushing in, Zhou stood there stunned. The person on the bed seemed to be someone who didn't match her memory of her mother, yet they did, which was very puzzling.
The old lady's eyes immediately filled with tears, "Niu Niu, my Niu Niu."
Upon hearing this, Zhou immediately threw herself into the old lady's arms.
What a dramatic family reunion!
Ling Silang and Xu Dazhuang also heard the commotion. Ling Silang did not go in, but Xu Dazhuang rushed in.
There was no way around it; he was the son. If he didn't rush in when his mother woke up, she would easily be recognized.
The two cried for a while. The old lady held Zhou's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. Xu Tingting stood stiffly in place after seeing Xu Dazhuang come in.
She rushed forward, "Dad, Grandma's awake! What are you standing there for?"
"Mother... Mother," Xu Dazhuang called out dryly.
He thought he would never call anyone else "mother" in his life; his mother was less than a stranger to him. But now, another old lady has become his mother.
The old lady looked at Xu Dazhuang, sized him up, and immediately understood that he was an honest man. "Mother is awake, but she can't even say anything to express her joy?"
Her gentle tone and loving eyes felt as if a spring had irrigated Xu Dazhuang's parched heart. He nodded emphatically, "I'm so happy that Mother is awake. I'm so happy."
"You've had a tough time these past few years. Now that we've found your sister, one of my worries is finally over."
"It's not hard."
Fearing that things would get too awkward, Du Mingxian spoke up at the right moment, "It's almost lunchtime. Grandma must be hungry after waking up. Why don't I go and cook? Mom, you can keep Grandma company and talk to her."
"Mother, I'll go make it. It's rare for you to come all this way. I'll have plenty of time to talk to your grandmother later." Zhou Shi hurriedly got up and said to the old lady, "Mother, I'll go cook. Mingxian and the others will be going back in a little while."
"well."
In the end, Zhou Shi cooked the meal, with Xu Tingting and Du Mingxian helping out. Ling Silang and Xu Dazhuang accompanied the old lady.
During mealtime, the old lady ate alone in the room because she had just woken up and couldn't get out of bed yet, while the others ate outside.
The meal was enjoyable, and afterwards Zhou found an opportunity to speak with Du Mingxian alone.
“I think Silang treats you well. Live a good life with him. Mother is doing well at your maternal grandmother’s house now. I’m happy that your maternal grandmother has woken up.”
"Okay, Mother, don't worry. I've come to see you, and that puts my mind at ease."
The mother and daughter held hands, but neither of them spoke. It was as if they had a thousand words to say, yet they couldn't express them.
“Mother, Silang will be coming to the county to study in a few days. I’ll try to come to Grandma’s house for a couple of days to keep you company.”
"Is it okay?" Zhou asked nervously.
"should be no problem."
"Alright, but don't force it. If it doesn't work, then forget it. Mother is fine here."
"Okay, I understand."
They didn't stay at the Xu family's house for long. After dinner, the two decided to go back. Although Zhou was reluctant to leave, she didn't say anything.
Once outside on the street, Ling Silang wanted to buy books, so the two went to Wenmo Pavilion.
Du Mingxian slipped a silver note into his hand and said, "You can buy whatever you want here. I'll go buy some pastries and something to take back to my family later."
"it is good."
Du Mingxian drove the carriage to the pharmacy first, gave them the last ginseng root, and then went out to buy things, also hoping to find that scoundrel.
After wandering around without finding anyone, Du Mingxian had no choice but to come back to pick up Ling Silang.
Ling Silang bought a book and saw that Du Mingxian had bought a lot of things, but he didn't say anything and got into the carriage to go home.
Inside the carriage, Du Mingxian asked Ling Silang, "I was thinking of finding something for my uncle to do. What do you think about going into business?"
"It's feasible, otherwise we'll inevitably expose our weaknesses sooner or later."
"Then I'll go back and think carefully about what kind of business I should start."
Ling Silang looked at her bright smile and felt his heart flutter. "Don't worry about going to the county. I'll talk to Mother when I get back. As for your sisters-in-law... they won't say anything since you bought so many things."
