“It’s true, Gu Zi,” the mother confessed, her voice heavy with the wisdom of a lifetime. “I’ve lived for so long, yet I find myself less enlightened than you.

Now, we know what we must do.”

The words of her mother had initially left her in a state of gloom. But hearing her family’s reassuring words, she found himself at ease. “Nothing matters more than the peace and harmony of our family!” Gu Zi declared.

Upon hearing these words, the faces of Mother Lin and Li Hua visibly relaxed. They had spoken their minds, and with that, they exhaled a long-held breath. It was a sigh of relief, a release of tension that had been building up within them. Their nerves, once taut with stress, now relaxed. They would no longer waste energy on trivial matters. It was a novel experience, almost as if they had undergone a metamorphosis.

Gu Zi watched this transformation with a sense of satisfaction. His mother and sister-in-law were women of great understanding, their potential only hindered by the constraints of their time and environment. As long as they were willing to embrace progressive thoughts, they could shine in their respective fields and live their lives to the fullest.

The three women spent the morning engaged in their tasks, their conversations filled with laughter and joy.

Little Su Le was also very cooperative. Seeing the adults busy at work, she sat quietly on a small stool as her mother had instructed, amusing herself. Every now and then, she would approach them for a snack or a drink.

The aroma of braised pork liver and intestines filled the air as they were taken off the stove one after the other. Su Le sampled each dish throughout the morning. Although Gu Zi only gave her small portions, she seemed content. Her cheerful laughter filled the room, and her clapping hands brought smiles to everyone’s faces.

Gu Zi spent the entire morning at the Lin’s house, feeling completely at ease. Although helping with the braising was physically tiring, her spirit was relaxed. She knew that she had fully accepted the family of the original host.

The adoptive parents of the original host were not the best of people, but the biological parents and their family were wonderful. It was as if the original host had unintentionally gifted her, the transmigrator, with a precious present. She was truly grateful for having such wonderful biological parents.

After having lunch at the Lin family’s home, Gu Zi noticed how everyone doted on little Su Le. Her mother fed her, her grandparents coaxed her into conversation, and her aunt served her food and water. They treated her like a little princess.

Perhaps Su Le understood this, as she could feel the love that enveloped her. Even though she initially found the taste of her grandmother’s cooking a bit off, she later obediently opened her mouth to eat. Her furrowed brows relaxed, and she ended up eating half a bowl of corn rice with the dish.

“An Yun, An Yun, why didn’t you wait for me? We agreed to go together, wait for me!”

“You’ve been going out with me for several days now. Aren’t you hot with that cast and crutch? Rest at home today.”

After lunch, Gu Zi was helping Li Hua clean up in the kitchen when he heard a noise from outside. It sounded like Mrs. Lin was preparing to go work in the fields and was looking for her tools. Then he heard Mr. Lin calling for his wife and their ensuing conversation.

Gu Zi raised an eyebrow, quickly dried the washed dishes, and turned to Li Hua with a puzzled look. “After Dad got injured, wasn’t it always Mom and you who went to work in the fields? Why does Dad want to go too?”

Li Hua was washing dishes in a large basin, her hands moving efficiently. She thought for a moment before replying with a smile, “Dad is still recuperating, but he can walk in the fields with a crutch. You saw him earlier, he was walking briskly with his crutch. He doesn’t want to be completely idle.

“Whenever he has time, Dad pesters Mom to take him with her when she goes out. He can help weed the fields.”

Li Hua and Lin Cheng had tried to persuade him, as had Mrs. Lin. They told him to rest properly and do whatever he wanted once his foot healed. But it was no use. Mr. Lin simply didn’t want to rest completely. Seeing him go out and do some light work made everyone feel more at ease, so they stopped trying to persuade him.

Imagining her parents supporting each other and weeding the fields together, Gu Zi couldn’t help but smile. Her face lit up with a radiant glow. “Dad is really adorable! But remember to tell Mom to bring an umbrella next time. It’s better not to expose the injured leg to the sun. Your new headband looks nice, it must have cost some money..”
