"Never mind about other things, what do you think should be done about this matter? It's not right to keep blocking my mother, sooner or later we have to acknowledge it!"

  She said up to here, she was somewhat unwilling: "Are you too nervous, or maybe it's not that exaggerated?"

  Moyan shook his head, "This is too sensitive at this time, you're not someone who hasn't studied before, a steady sail gets a thousand years of safety, it's always right."

  "But isn't he her father? They haven't seen each other for seventeen years. Since they'll eventually have to recognize each other, why wait until the future?"

  "It's not that I don't want to acknowledge it, I just want her and him to keep their distance. Alas, I'm also unsure, if we push too hard, it will cause Auntie psychological burden, which is not what I want. Fortunately, our household registration has already been separated, otherwise, let her try?"

  Li Xiang nodded solemnly: "I'll go talk to my mother later, thinking about it, it's better to just let things be. After all, there are many gossipy women in this village, if you keep your distance, they'll say you're unfilial. If you don't keep your distance, they'll say you're a backward element. Since either way people will talk, it's better to follow your heart, what do you think?"

  Deep down, Mu Yan didn't want to hinder other people's family reunions either. Besides, Li Xiang was right; rural areas had their own set of problems and sometimes even more than cities.

  Perhaps it's better to let things develop naturally, rather than being overly cautious and suspicious like they are.

  Fortunately, the overall direction is already within a controllable range, as long as the household registration and they have nothing to do with each other, the rest are not important.

  Li Xiang went to the shed later, only to find that Li Hua had fallen asleep, with clear tear stains at the corners of her eyes, which shocked her greatly.

  The second day had not yet dawned when Li Hua got out of bed. Li Xiang rubbed her eyes and sat up: "Mother, why get up so early?"

  "Well, I've figured it out, so I'll go take a look at your paternal grandfather's place,"

  Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and also stood up, Li Hua looked at her in surprise: "What's this?"

  "Mom, I've thought it through, I'll go with you after all!"

  Li Hua's body shook, and then she was moved to tears as he held her in his arms.

  "Niang niang ah niang niang, how can you be so understanding of others?"

  The mother and daughter walked out of the house together towards their old home. They hadn't taken a step yet, but they already felt heavy and tense.

  "Niang niang, you said your paternal grandfather, he really can't change his identity anymore?"

  Li Xiang wants to know if Li Hua is referring to his son-in-law's identity.

  As for some rules of this era, it's not just her, even Mu Yan is also fumbling along.

  So Li Hua asked in return, which made him speechless: "Mom, this is not something you should worry about. If Grandpa wants to do it himself, he will find someone to take care of it!"

  If he doesn't want to, no matter how hard you try to persuade him, it's all useless.

  Li Hua fell silent, Li thought she was thinking about something and didn't disturb her, so they just walked like this until they arrived at the gate of Li's grandfather's house.

  Rural people are used to getting up early. The mother and daughter walked all the way, it's not that there were no people, but looking at their direction also knew where they were going.

  "Where's your dad?"

  Just as they were hesitating about how to knock on the door, their former neighbor opened the courtyard gate with a broom and asked when she saw the mother and daughter.

  "Uncle, you're up so early too? Yes, I came to see my dad."

  "Oh, I just saw him going downstairs, you two can still catch up now, hurry and go!"

  The mother and daughter had been hesitant to come, not wanting to see the Meng family. Now that they heard her father was coming out alone, their faces lit up with joy, and they nodded at the neighbors before chasing after him like the wind, carrying Li Xiang with them.
