To be fair, Wu Liguo and Liu Shouren aren’t wrong in their thinking; after all, in Dai Weiguo’s eyes, nothing is more important than his career and future. Even if he discovered Lian En’s existence, he would still clear every obstacle to ensure a smooth political career. Only then would he brainstorm ways to bring the only descendant of his life back home. However, there’s always an unexpected twist! For instance, they all overlooked Huang Wei, who despises Bai Jing to her core and has been eagerly waiting for the downfall of the Bai family to strike them further down. Ideally, she would want to trample Bai Jing into the mud, never to rise again, along with the old woman from the Dai family who longs for a grandson so desperately that her eyes have turned blue from longing. The moment they heard that the Bai family had completely collapsed, and the pillars of the Bai family, Bai Tao, and the old man were both arrested, possibly never to be released again since the second son is an unreliable playboy, The only son-in-law is somewhat capable, but unfortunately too detached to rely upon. Not only did he fail to fully assist them, but he even stepped on them mercilessly, causing Huang Wei to mutter about his indifference but was nonetheless overjoyed. Knowing that the Bai family and Bai Jing are of little importance in her brother-in-law’s heart relieved her, feeling it was the right time to reveal the heavyweight bomb, Lian En. Right when the Bai family had just fallen and Bai Jing along with her children held strong grievances, she thought of not missing the chance to strike while Bai Jing was down, lest she regained composure and cozied up to her brother-in-law to lead a stable life as a celebrity’s wife. Having suffered enough from being the center of things, Huang Wei has become wiser over time. After preparing everything, the dutiful daughter-in-law Huang Wei dragged her sister-in-law, Dai Weijuan, along with her mother-in-law for a morning shopping trip. As they walked along, chatting and laughing, Huang Wei delighted the old lady with her sweet talk, making even the mother-in-law and daughter trio seem as close as a real family, speaking and laughing as they entered the cooperative store. One suggested buying some meat for a twice-cooked pork dish that her older brother loves, while the other mentioned getting some eggplant, potatoes, and peppers for a country-style stew that her second son enjoys. Just as their conversation was in full swing, they noticed a woman in her thirties standing by the potato stand, staring straight at them. Before Dai Weijuan, who’s become increasingly arrogant in the city, could cast an unhappy glance, the young woman opened her mouth in full surprise: "Oh my gosh, it really is! Isn’t this the old aunt from the Dai family of Liu village, along with the second sister-in-law and Wei Juan? What, don’t you recognize me? We are related by marriage, you know! Your niece’s husband, Lin Yuanzhi, is actually my husband’s cousin! I’m Liu Hong, auntie!" Though no one could immediately recall who this was, it didn’t deter Dai’s mother from being enthusiastic. After all, it’s been ten years since, and she was longing for any little news from her old home. Upon hearing her Northeast dialect, being unmistakably authentic, paired with her ability to perfectly list out the relatives of the Dai family, Dai’s mother without a second thought welcomed this self-proclaimed niece-in-law, Liu Hong, back home with hospitality. "Alright, I’ll go with Auntie now. Once I’ve found the way, we can visit often in the future. Besides, during festive occasions, it’s nice to have a place to drop by and people to chat with! Speaking of Beijing, every part of it is great, except it’s unfamiliar and makes one feel quite isolated." Liu Hong cheerily accepted the invitation, sighing with emotion. Her words truly touched the hearts of Dai’s mother and Dai Weijuan! Being uprooted and facing alienation everywhere, it’s indeed just like that, isn’t it? The trio, getting more animated as they chatted, quickly finished buying their groceries and returned to the courtyard in high spirits. After tea was served and sunflower seeds were brought out, the old lady started asking about the changes in their hometown since they had left. The weather, the harvest, the health of certain villagers were all asked with thorough concern, though her main interest was in the current situation of her former daughter-in-law, Liu Shuzhen. "Liu Shuzhen? She’s really something else now, having invented some sort of ecological multi-dimensional farming method and developed super high-yield cabbage and radish seeds that produce over ten thousand pounds per acre. They’ve been doing crop alternation three times a year and even transformed the previously flood-prone lands by the big river into paddies. My goodness, the seven to eight hundred acres that suffered drought nine out of ten years have been miraculously turned into top-quality rice seed production lands! Nowadays, both inside and outside the village, they are respectfully called Expert Lian and Expert Liu. They are enjoying genuine harmony and happiness with three sons and two daughters." "The only puzzling thing is, their oldest was born less than seven months after they married. He has phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and a fair complexion, looking like a child at the feet of Guanyin. Yet he bears no resemblance to father or mother, and no particular likeness to any uncles either. The entire village used to gossip that the child was not genuinely of the Lian family bloodline! Yet Lianshan treasures the child as if he’s made of gold, and would fight anyone who dared to badmouth him. For all this protective energy, he must be his own flesh and blood..." Born in less than seven months, phoenix eyes, high nose bridge, and fair complexion, looking like a child at the feet of Guanyin? Dai’s mother stood up excitedly, rushing into her bedroom like the wind. After a long struggle, she finally pulled out a yellowed black-and-white photo. But before she could ask if this child Lian En looked like the one in the picture of her eldest son, Liu Hong spoke up in a full tone of surprise: "Auntie, why do you have a picture of Lian En? Wait, no, Lian En is sturdier and a bit shorter than the one in the photo. But his facial features truly match; it’s as if he was sculpted from the same mold." With just a few words, all of Dai’s mother’s prior suspicions were confirmed. Three sons and a daughter: The eldest son lost his fertility after an injury, and the second daughter-in-law miscarried with no further children to date. The oldest daughter-in-law and the daughter each bore three children, leaving her with a total of six deceased. Having longed for a grandson so desperately that her eyes turned blue, her only rewards were mounting despair. Having completely given up hope, prepared for a lifelong absence of grandsons, suddenly being blessed with such a joyous revelation, Dai’s mother, unfamiliar with how fate turns so unexpectedly, couldn’t be happier, feeling as if her heart could fly out from joy, chanting incessantly "Amitabha" and "Buddha bless," indeed, the heavens haven’t abandoned their Dai family. Fresh from being driven to devastation and frustration by her family, Bai Jing returned home only to encounter such a jubilant scene. Upon hearing the giddy old woman excitedly express her intent to bring the eldest grandson home, saying the eldest son and grandson of the Dai family absolutely cannot be left drifting about, Bai Jing’s rage shot directly to her head, and without regard, she spoke to the old lady: "After Liu Shuzhen’s miscarriage and Dai Weiguo’s injury leaving him infertile, ok wanting a grandson isn’t a problem, but scraping up any random child to be included in my family isn’t quite honorable!" With the sudden rise followed by this shock of cold water, the old lady’s fragile tolerance ran out. Immediately, Dai’s mother rolled her eyes, and fainted from rage.
