At first, Qin Yu didn’t accept Chu Molin.

However, as they got to know each other better, he realized that his sister’s fiancé was a genuinely good person, both in terms of work and character. So he stopped resisting the idea of having him as his brother-in-law!

“Hmm, don’t worry, little brother. I’ll keep the promise I made to you. Just focus on studying and reading your books!” Qin Yu tore a piece of steamed bread and handed it to Qin Jiale.

Nir. and Mrs. Qin looked at these siblings and smiled at each other.

The family enjoyed their meal together, filled with warmth and love.

It was finally decided that Qin Yu would accompany Mrs. Qin to visit Qin Xue and her husband.

Mr. Qin would stay at home, and Qin Jiale would go to school to study.

“Dear, take Qin Yu with you to cut some mugwort. I’ll make some green balls to bring to Qin Xue because she loves them the most! And where did we put the dried sweet potatoes? And the dried bamboo shoots?” Mrs. Qin instructed her husband and son while looking for things to bring to Qin Xue.

Father and son chuckled, grabbed hold of a scythe, and went out to fetch some mugwort.

At this time of the year, there was plenty of mugwort growing on the hillside.

Mrs. Qin started looking for sticky rice to grind into flour to make green balls. Qin Jiale, sitting beside her with his homework, caught a glimpse of his mom bustling around.

He shook his head, settled down, and focused on his homework, no longer distracted by his surroundings.

Mrs. Qin found the sticky rice, ground it into flour, and prepared to make the green balls.

She thought about Qin Xue’s favorite foods and decided to make and bring some of them to her.

Qin Xue had been supposed to live like a princess, but here she was, suffering with the rest of them. Fortunately, their father treated Qin Xue and Qin Yu as if they were his biological children, which was the best possible outcome,

Nangong Shulan’s thoughts drifted back in time, remembering how she and her parents had fled from war-stricken Shanghai when she was a little girl.

She got lost from her parents and was rescued by a soldier. Over time, they fell in love and were on the verge of getting married.

However, they ultimately separated due to a misunderstanding, and she found someone else who was good to her.

Now she had three children and a husband who loved her; she was truly content with her life.

Even though their present life was tough, it didn’t matter, as long as the family was happy together!

But she wondered if the man in her past was doing well and living a safe life.

Nangong Shulan pulled herself back from her wandering thoughts and prepared the necessary ingredients.

Having given birth and raised two children, she felt she had done right by him.

So Nangong Shulan didn’t dwell too much on the past, focusing on living her present life, which was her utmost responsibility!

“Mom, what are you thinking about?” Qin Jiale finished his homework, looked up, and saw that his mother was lost in thought.

This had never happened before, and Qin Jiale looked at her, wondering what she was thinking. He then gently called out to her.

His voice snapped Nangong Shulan out of her reverie. She shook her head and said, “l wasn’t thinking about anything. Just wondering what your sister likes? I’ve been thinking about what our family has that we could bring to her. Have you finished your homework?”

Nangong Shulan looked at her younger daughter, who, like her elder sister, resembled her. However, the older sibling had a softer appearance, while the younger one was more spirited.

Perhaps due to feelings of guilt, the family unconsciously paid more attention to the elder daughter, inadvertently neglecting the younger one in the process.

Luckily, her younger daughter didn’t resent them; instead, she showed the same affection for her elder sister as they did!

Gazing at her youngest child, Nangong Shulan felt a pang of guilt. She ought to have been the most pampered, but that wasn’t the case!

“Jiale, all these years, have you ever blamed me?” Nangong Shulan gently asked.

“Mom, what are you talking about? How could I ever blame you! You’re my mom, and 1 love you more than anything!” It was rare for the usually reserved Qin Jiale to express his feelings so openly!

Apart from the oldest child, Qin Xue, who was relatively wilfull, the two other Qin siblings were steadier and more composed.

What they didn’t know was that Qin Xue had already shed her wilful nature and had become incredibly capable..
