“It’s because of your foolish idea and your scheming that I ended up doing something so foolish. I’ve already restrained myself from seeking revenge against you, and yet you still expect me to repay your supposed kindness?”
“And because of that, you even demanded two liang of compensation from my family!”

Qin Zhenzhen carefully carried the two big fish skewered with a straw back to her hometown, the Qin Family Village.
Upon reaching home, she found that her brothers, sisters-in-law, and even her parents had not yet returned from their work in the fields. Only her blind grandma was present.
In the original host’s memories, her blind grandma was a person with a mysterious past.
However, her own family members were unaware of the details of her story.
Qin Zhenzhen knew only fragments, understanding that her grandma had originally come from a wealthy family. Due to her blindness and inability to secure a good marriage in the city, she had no choice but to marry into the countryside.
Her dowry had been substantial, enough to sustain her for the rest of her life. The Qin family had also reaped benefits from it.
Despite her blindness and inability to contribute physically, her grandma had never suffered neglect. On the contrary, her late grandfather had always been devoted to her.
Qin Zhenzhen’s parents, siblings, and their spouses treated her grandma with equal care and respect. They made sure she lacked for nothing.
However, ever since her grandma married into the countryside, she never spoke about her maternal family. She never returned to her maternal home, nor did any of her relatives visit her.
According to her, all her family members had passed away. The dowry she had brought with her was the result of selling off her family’s assets.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs for the circumstances surrounding her maternal family’s demise, she refused to discuss it, and her family dared not pry, fearful of reopening old wounds.
Qin Zhenzhen quietly entered her grandma’s room, finding Grandma Qin sitting serenely in front of the bronze mirror, her gaze tranquil.
In the original host’s memories, her grandma often sat in this manner, remaining still for hours on end. Qin Zhenzhen wondered what thoughts occupied her mind during those moments.
“Grandma, I’m back,” Qin Zhenzhen softly announced her presence, approaching her grandma’s side.
“Yeah,” Grandma Qin responded, her body unmoving.
In truth, she had already detected Qin Zhenzhen’s return through her heightened senses and had been aware of the commotion outside.
Qin Zhenzhen scanned her grandma’s room, observing that despite her blindness, everything was neatly organized. Behind the bed, a small wooden box held her grandma’s cherished possessions.
The original host had once stumbled upon the contents of that box, discovering a few books and handwritten manuscripts. Within those pages were special recipes incorporating medicinal herbs, each accompanied by annotations.
Initially, Qin Zhenzhen had suspected that her grandma possessed knowledge of food therapy, much like herself. However, her grandma had never hinted at such expertise.
Desiring to examine the books and notes herself, Qin Zhenzhen mentioned, “I brought fish back.”
Grandma Qin remained composed. “I know.”
She could perceive the distinct scent of fish and even identify the fragrance of large carp. She was aware that Qin Zhenzhen had already been in the kitchen, likely storing the fish there.
