Chapter 259: Chapter 260: Old Fifth’s Wife 1

She had a faint inkling of what might be going on, though she wasn’t certain about the details; but she was sure it was extraordinary.

Helian Qiao blinked her large eyes, innocence written across her face, "Third Aunt was going to die because of her poor health. I healed her."

She didn’t realize how shocking her words were to Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu.

The couple exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment mirrored in the other’s eyes.

The next moment, Ma Xiulian spoke to her granddaughter in a rare serious tone, "Guibao, don’t ever tell anyone about this. Not a soul, do you understand?"

She didn’t ask how her granddaughter knew her third daughter-in-law was going to die, and she didn’t want to delve into how the woman was cured.

She just longed for her little granddaughter to stay by her side!

Helian Qiao nodded, saying in a soft, mushy voice, "Understood."

Then she tilted her little head and added, "Grandma, Grandpa, I’ll be able to cure you too pretty soon!"

Ma Xiulian was taken aback initially and then quickly caught on, "No wonder I’ve been feeling as spry and strong as when I was younger these past few years. Turns out it was our Guibao looking out for Grandma. Guibao, you’re truly amazing."

She stroked her granddaughter’s fluffy little head, the love in her eyes was nearly palpable. Her voice grew even softer, indulgently sweet.

Chen Dazhu’s gaze was equally tender. As he was getting on in years, earning the same work points as before had started to become a strain, yet these past two years had been easier.

Upon hearing this, Helian Qiao puffed up with pride, "I used to be even more amazing!"

If it had been before, she could have healed her grandparents with a single breath of dragon fire.

"Our Guibao is the best!"

Ma Xiulian kissed her plump little cheeks and held her close, cherishing her for a good while.

She, Ma Xiulian, must have accumulated lifetimes of good karma to be blessed with such a precious granddaughter in this life!

Xiaobai also grunted and chirped a few times in agreement: their young master was the most powerful, second only to the Great Demon King!

A month later, Chen Jianmin, who had been away learning carpentry at another commune, returned!

Not only did he return, he also brought back Liu Lanzhi, the old carpenter’s daughter, and they carried packages large and small.

"Mom, I’m home." He strode into the courtyard, his face radiant with the joy of returning home.

Ma Xiulian exclaimed in surprise, "Jianmin!"

She walked over briskly, inspecting Chen Jianmin from head to toe before patting his shoulder.

Unlike his robustly built and dark-skinned brothers like Chen Jianguo, Jianmin was rather lean, seeming more like a refined scholar than a laborer. He couldn’t compete with his brothers when it came to physical strength, and if he were farming, he probably wouldn’t be able to feed himself.

That’s why she had sent him to learn carpentry, pulling strings and giving up grain to secure the apprenticeship. At least, with a trade, he wouldn’t starve to death, no matter what happened.

Upon hearing that the old carpenter’s commune was also hit by lower crop yields, she was planning to bring food to him in a few days after finishing her work.

"Mom, I have completed my four-year apprenticeship. I brought Lanzhi with me so we can discuss our marriage." Chen Jianmin said, glancing at Liu Lanzhi beside him, his face revealing a hint of bashful shyness.

It had been agreed before that once he mastered the craft, he would marry her. Plus, after spending time together over these years, there was already a deep emotional connection between them.

Liu Lanzhi placed several plastic bags on the table, "Uncle, Auntie, these are some gifts I brought for you."

Ma Xiulian nodded happily, "It’s good to have you back, really good!"

Then she ushered them both into the house.
