Grandma Yu, who was recuperating in the room that Yu Dong has given her was indeed waiting to die. She was quite upset in her heart ever since her first husband passed away, she wanted to stay alone but her mother did not let her live alone either. She hurriedly married her to her second husband, Grandma Yu did not refuse because the mer, her mother looked was rather nice and did not have much scheming personality which was why she was not worried about him bullying her eldest daughter.

But then her mother brought Old man Tang with her and her life went completely upside down, she did not know what to do about the new mer who married her but she still treated her new husband well and he too acted politely with everyone. That was until her second husband passed away, her eldest daughter was the one who worked the hardest but her family was the one who received the least amount of resources in the family and Grandma Yu was brainwashed by Old man Tang who kept telling her that it was only right for her eldest daughter to work the hardest given that she was the one who was the most capable and she was the only woman of the house who could work.

Though she worked in the fields, she could not earn as much as her eldest daughter could and her youngest daughter was still young and did not have the strength to work as hard as her eldest daughter could which was why grandma Yu agreed with what old master Tang said but now that she was looking at the past she realised that she was the one who is led into rings by old man Tang from the beginning. Her sons were married off to further villages where she could not even see them, and her eldest daughter was dead, her young bones turned cold before her old ones could.

As a mother this was Grandma Yu’s greatest pain, she felt that she truly owed her eldest daughter too much. Not only did she fail to protect her but she couldn’t protect Yu Dong either who was led to the bad path by those in the Yu family. If she hadn’t given the extra food that she has saved from the table then she might have lost her eldest grandson as well. Grandma Yu had always tried to keep her family closely tied but now she looked at the life that was ahead of her and felt like she has lost everything.

Because her mood kept fluctuating and she continued to get more and more depressed, her recovery slowed down and although she was being treated by Yu Dong and nourishing food every day was given to her every day, she felt like she did not want to stay alive anymore all she wanted to do was to wait for death such that she could see her eldest daughter again and then beg for forgiveness from her.

Yu Dong too was confused, her spiritual energy seemed to have grown stronger after she started cultivating and now she could save anyone who was dying as long as they had a single breath left in their body she could save them but somehow she could not manage to get grandma Yu to turn healthy again, this was something that has never happened before. Only after a very long time, she realised that Grandma Yu looked depressed and seemed to have lost all hope of living. She pursed her lips after hearing Shen Li, she has been trying to cheer up Grandma Yu for a long time but the old woman did seem to be agreeing with her on the surface once she turned her back, Grandma Yu would fall into the same mood again.

She turned to look at Shen Li and then said, ” Go and bring Mai and little bun.”

At first, she did not want to use her children but now that there was no other choice left for her, she could only bring little bun and Yu Mai to see old grandma Yu.

Shen Li did not understand why she was asking for little bun and Yu Mai but he was used to following Yu Dong’s orders which were why he did not say anything and simply agreed to bring little bun and Yu Mai who were playing in another room.

Once Shen Li brought Little bun who looked confused along with his young uncle, Yu Dong took him from Shen Li and then coaxed the fussy child who looked rather unhappy about being disturbed during his playtime. ” Don’t worry as long as you get your grandmother happy, I will bring you to play in the city, all right?”

Little bun seemed to have understood that his mother was willing to coax him, he babbled a little and settled down while Yu Dong brought him after hugging him close to her body.

She brought little bun and Yu Mai with her to the room where grandma Yu was and heard Yu Tong whispering to Grandma Yu. ” Grandma I know that you are not happy with what granddaddy and daddy did to you but you need to understand that you can give up on your life like this, you need to get better and show that vile mer that you were the best thing for him.”

” There is no point in getting better, my old body cannot drag itself any longer,” Grandma Yu sighed as she looked at her weak hands and wrinkled skin. ” I have already lost everything, now all I want is to go to the underworld and see my little Xiao Hai, I need to ask for her forgiveness… and even your uncle Caifeng, I need to beg for forgiveness from him as well. That poor child, he died because of me if I had not agreed to that vile man Tong’s words and sent my little Hai up the mountains, he wouldn’t have lost his life.”
