Chapter 79: Chapter 079: Each Search is Accurate_1
Initially, she planned to hide behind the door and eavesdrop. Unexpectedly, Linong went to her room with Granny. She was unsure about what was being said, so she decided to go out and have a look.
However, by the time she came out, Linong had already left! She was still angry and too embarrassed to ask.
“Really?” Huo Jinlan, delighted, quickly raised her head, forgetting to hide the smile that spread across her face.
This elicited a suspicious look from Yuan Xueshan, who gazed intently at her.
Nevertheless, her response was impressively quick as she inconspicuously said, “As long as Granny is not angry, I can rest easy! I am genuinely afraid that at her old age, she might harm herself out of rage.”
“Hmm! Don’t worry about it.” Yuan Xueshan, who had been married into the family for many years, understood Zhou Yongxian quite well.
...
Although Granny is domineering, she is also reasonable and broad-minded. They did make a mess of things today, but also suffered a great deal. Furthermore, the marriage has already been called off, so any further discussions would be pointless.
Even though Granny might still be angry, she would not vent her anger on others in a situation where it serves no purpose.
She comforted her by running her fingers through Huo Jinlan’s hair, “Don’t feel bad anymore. I’ll make you something delicious tonight to compensate.”
“Hmm! Thank you, mom.” Huo Jinlan’s smile was sweet and charming.

The village of Xiao Wang is backed by vast farmlands and two large embankments storing deep waters, which serve as irrigation during drought years. In the busy farming seasons of May and June every year, villagers rely heavily on these resources.
Due to the depth of the water in the embankment, parents usually forbid their children from playing there. However, during the hot summers, people, usually men and children, would come over for a bath.
After seeing off Granny Huo in the afternoon, Jiang Nanfei sat alone by the embankment, contemplating while looking at the glistening water surface.
The farce that unfolded today had made her and Huo Beijiang’s future path more obscure. The destiny she longed to change after her rebirth also started shifting in unexpected ways.
However, many things seemed to spiral out of her control.

For now, her only option was to work hard and earn money! While money can’t solve everything, being without it is the worst. She never wanted to see her family endure contempt, humiliation, and mistreatment, like they did today.
Coming back to her senses due to footsteps behind her, Nan Fei turned around to see it was her grandmother.
“Why did you come here?” She hurriedly stood and helped Guan Rufang sit on the raised grassy patch, before sitting next to her.
“If you can be here, why can’t I?” She knew this girl always came here whenever she felt low. It was always a safe bet to find her at this spot.
Guan Rufang wasn’t good at consolation and could only say bluntly, “What? Are you reluctant to leave Huo Beijiang now? Didn’t you once swear you would never marry him?”
“That was then, but this is now. Can you please let go of the things I said in the past?” she pleaded. She was afraid of being reminded of her past.
Embarrassing!
Too embarrassing!
“Who are you trying to impress with that deadpan face of yours?” Guan Rufang snorted coldly, “You say you don’t want him, but your heart seems to know better!”
Nan Fei was both angered and mortified. Her grandmother’s remarks were becoming increasingly shocking.
“Regardless, I’ve laid out the cards for you today, so the future is yours to shape. Huo Beijiang is indeed outstanding, but he’s not your only option. Today, Yuan Xueshan was truly going out of line. If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t give the Huos another chance in a million years!”
In her younger years, Guan Rufang was fiery and utterly disdainful of evil. The fact that she could give in today was truly exceptional.
