After forcing back his tears, Lin Jie put down the bowl. Madam Wei quickly took out a handkerchief and leaned over to wipe Lin Jie’s mouth.
Lin Jie was stunned and almost burst into tears.
Liu Sanniang picked up a piece of meat for Lin Jie. “From tomorrow onwards, drink goat milk in the morning. Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat much food if you drink goat milk during lunch.”
Madam Wei echoed, “Yes, let’s do that. In less than a year, our Jie will definitely get big.”
Mr. Liu echoed, “Jie, look at your uncle. Boys should be taller.”
Lin Jie could feel the warm and sweet atmosphere in this family, making people envious and yearn for it. Everyone was smiling at him. Lin Jie suddenly realized that he was now a member of this family.
He smiled shyly and said softly, “Thank you.”
Madam Wei said happily, “We’re a family. There is no need to be so polite. When your second uncle comes back and General Black comes back, you can go out to walk the dog when you’re free. You can’t just eat. You have to exercise too. If you eat too much, you’ll be fat.”
Lin Jie felt like he didn’t need to get used to being a member of this family because he was already a member.
Madam Wei did not seem to treat him any differently than her own children.
Lin Jie knew that from this moment on, he had really lost to Liu Sanniang.
In the afternoon, when he was drawing talismans, Lin Jie was much more focused. He looked at Liu Sanniang, who was embroidering at the side, and said, “Shifu, I know how to draw. Do you want to take a look?”
Liu Sanniang stood up to take a look. “Very good. Continue.”
Hu Yu leaned against Liu Sanniang’s leg and looked up at Lin Jie. She said to Liu Yuanyuan through voice transmission, “I thought he could do better than that. Yesterday, he wanted to do something bad, but he was reformed today. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Venerable Liu do anything since he came.”
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Lin Jie and said calmly, “Venerable Liu treats him as her family. He also treats Venerable Liu as his family now. Family members trust each other.”
Hu Yu narrowed her fox-like eyes and said proudly, “No one in this world can resist Venerable Liu’s charisma, right?”
Liu Yuanyuan replied calmly, “Indeed.”
The closer one was to Liu Sanniang, the more warmth one felt. This was indeed undeniable.
Liu Sanniang continued to embroider while Lin Jie continued to draw talismans.
On the 28th of December, Madam Wei was waiting outside the door.
There was news early in the morning that the last batch of soldiers would come home today. Liu Erlang didn’t come back with Liu Dalang, so he must be in the last batch.
As Madam Wei thought about it, tears welled up in her eyes.
From afar, four figures came over. Madam Wei smiled, but when she saw them clearly, she was a little disappointed. However, she still smiled and greeted, “Dashan, Zhongshan, Xiaoshan, it’s good you are back safe and sound.”
In the past two years, she had not spoken to Madam Bai, but as a mother, she knew what it felt like to be worried.
Madam Wei looked at Yang Qingshan and took a while to recognize him. “You’re Ju’er’s husband, right? She’s missing you quite a lot.”
Yang Qingshan, Liu Dashan, and the others stood outside the door, hesitating as if they had something to say, but looking at Madam Wei, no one could speak.
Liu Dashan and his brothers lowered their heads and elbowed each other. No matter what, they had to say it.
“Auntie, we have something to tell you.”
Yang Qingshan looked at Madam Wei solemnly.
The smile on Madam Wei’s face gradually disappeared.
Liu Dashan said, “Auntie, Erlang came back with us, but when we passed by Qingping Town in Yuzhou, he suddenly disappeared. The general in charge searched for him for a long time but couldn’t find him, so he asked us to come back first. Because we’re from the same town as Erlang, he asked us to send a message. There are still people Town in Qingping looking for Erlang…”
Madam Wei felt a buzzing in her head and her body went limp. Mr. Liu, who was behind her, quickly helped her up.
Tears welled up in Madam Wei’s eyes. After a while, she said with difficulty, “Dashan, you, you said… Erlang is missing?”
Liu Dashan couldn’t bear to see her like this, but he still said truthfully, “At that time, we set up camp in Qingping. When we left, we found out that Erlang was gone.”
Madam Wei felt her body go numb and tears rolled down her face.
When Yang Qingshan saw Liu Sanniang coming out, he said with hope in his eyes, “Sanniang, Sanniang is very capable. She will definitely be able to find Erlang.”
Liu Dashan and his brothers were also enlightened. They comforted Madam Wei and said, “Auntie, Erlang is just missing. He will definitely be fine. Sanniang can find him.”
At this moment, Madam Bai also came out from next door. Looking at her three sons who had returned safely, she cried.
Liu Dalang and the other two walked towards their house.
Yang Qingshan looked at Liu Sanniang and saw that her expression was calm. For some reason, he felt relieved. He nodded at Liu Sanniang and turned to leave.
Mr. Liu helped Madam Wei back to her room. Tang An closed the door and the family entered.
Madam Wei held back her tears. Liu Sanniang walked forward and held Madam Wei’s hand. She looked at Madam Wei’s face and said word by word, “Mother, don’t worry. Second Brother is in trouble, but he’s fine.”
Madam Wei grabbed Liu Sanniang’s hand. “Sanniang, don’t lie to me. 1 can take it even if you tell me the truth.”
Liu Sanniang’s expression was gentle. “I won’t lie to you.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Mr. Liu and said, “His life is not in danger. I’ll go and find him.”
Madam Wei knew her daughter very well. She relaxed a little. It was good that Liu Erlang was still alive. As long as he was alive, no matter where he was, they would find him.
Madam Wei thought of Chu Yan and said to Liu Dalang, “Dalang, go to the Chu family and see if Yan is back.”
Liu Dalang nodded and immediately left.
Liu Sanniang was not worried about Chu Yan. She said to Madam Wei, “Mother,
I’ll pack up and prepare to go out..”
