Hearing Ning Yue’s voice, Old Madam Ning quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. “Yueyue, what’s wrong?” Old Madam Ning replied loudly.

“Grandpa, Grandma, this is a thank-you gift from that young master. I brought the jewelry. Grandpa, how do you want to distribute it?” As she spoke, Ning Yue took out the package containing the jewelry.

“Here is a golden bracelet, there are jade rings, and here is a jade ruyi. Grandpa, take a look.”

Old Master Ning looked at the jewelry in shock. After a long time, he said to Ning Yue, “Yueyue, I’ll leave these for you as a dowry.”

Old Master Ning’s words warmed Ning Yue’s heart. “Grandpa, even if these things are used as dowry, I can’t use them, right? I might as well take them out and distribute them.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning felt indescribably uncomfortable.

It was because of Ning Yue that he had the chance to sit here and discuss with her how to distribute these jewelry.

On the way, he did not have the chance to think too much. Now that he had settled down, he could not help but wonder why it was so coincidental that Ning Yue found all the food and water on the way.

Perhaps the heavens did not want her to suffer in the human world, so they made her blessed.

“Grandpa, this is food. You and Grandma eat first. I’ll call the children in.” As she spoke, Ning Yue turned around and called the children in, ignoring what the old man was thinking.

Balang and Jiulang walked in with Xiaobao and Xiaobei. Ning Yue picked up the pastries on the table and gave them to Balang and Jiulang. Xiaobei was unhappy. “Ah!” he said.

She and her brother wanted to eat too!

“Okay, okay, okay. Our Xiaobao and Xiaobei can have it too!”

Ning Yue smiled and picked up another pastry. She broke it into pieces and placed it in the children’s mouths. She was afraid that they would choke if they were too big.

Xiaobei chewed happily at the pastry, his eyes half-closed in happiness.

Beside him, Xiaobao pursed his lips and turned his head to the side. The way he ate was too ugly.

“Wow, Sis, look how smart Xiaobei is!” Jiulang looked at Xiaobei in surprise.

He remembered that the other children in the village had not been so smart when they were this old. What they ate was fed by their parents. Xiaobei knew how to look up and find something to eat since he was young.

Xiaobao’s expression of enjoyment was that of an adult who had lived for decades.

“Our Balang and Jiulang are so smart too.” Ning Yue smiled and split some of the pastries into two portions. She handed both to Balang and Jiulang.

“Thank you, Sister.”

“Thank you, Sister.”

The two children thanked Ning Yue.

Ning Yue turned around and glanced at Old Master Ning and Old Madam Ning. Although the two of them were smiling as they watched the children eat the snacks, she could tell that their smiles were a little forced. They were probably worried about their daughter and son-in-law who had disappeared.

Of Ning Yue’s two aunts, one was married to her family’s bodyguard, and the other was married to a county scholar who had passed the county examination.
