After bidding farewell to the Wan family, Fu Jiaojiao went to Tang Xian's residence. The door was still locked, but this was no problem for Fu Jiaojiao.

"Little aunt, do you want to go in? We have the key at home. I'll get it for you when I go back."

"No, I'll jump in," Fu Jiujiao shook her head.

"That won't do. What if you get hurt? Grandpa would fight me to the death! Here, I'll squat here, and you can step on my shoulders to go in."

Sī Pàng pretended to squat down, and Fù Jiūjiū smiled faintly. She stretched her muscles, "No need."

Then, she kicked off with her legs and lightly jumped in.

Si Pang was stunned. After recovering, he became even more anxious.

"Little aunt, are you okay after your fall?"

Fu Jiujiu looked at the familiar furnishings, only slightly outdated. Everything was still in its original place, nothing had changed.

"It's fine, I'll just take a look and go out. Don't worry."

How could Si Pang not be worried? He could only struggle to climb onto the wall, preparing to jump into the yard.

However, Fujujiao had already leaped out.

Sichu sat on the wall, gasping for breath, and glared at Fu Jiujiu with resentment. "Little aunt, you should have waited for me."

Fu Jiu chuckled lightly, she suddenly remembered, there shouldn't be any guards around here, right?

But she searched carefully for a long time and couldn't find it.

Could it be that we are now living in an age of peace and prosperity?

Didn't Tang Xian even leave any guards by his side?

After Fu Jiujiu left Tang Xian's house, she went straight back home. But the news of her waking up had already spread throughout the village through Wan Shi's words.

She had just gotten home, and before she even had a chance to sit down, a crowd gathered at the door.

Fu Baiman gasped, "They're all here to fight over my daughter."

Fu Jiujiu laughed and leaned against his shoulder, "Dad, I'm your daughter. No one can take me away."

In the courtyard, Fu Dajing was greeting everyone.

"Big Jin, where's Chirp? Let us see, everyone's awake now, so there's no need to hide anymore, right?"

"That's right, Village Head, let us have a look. It's been over ten years now."

Fu Jiujiu thought to herself secretly, so Big Brother was actually the village head of this village.

"Everyone, please calm down. Jiujiu is indeed awake, but whether you can meet her, I have to go in and ask my father. It's only if my father agrees that it's possible." Fu Dagjin said.

"Your father can't be so stingy, now that he's awake and won't let us see him?"

Fu Dagjin smiled. "This, I can't really decide on."

"Daddy~" Fu Jiujiao called out coquettishly.

Fu Baiman's heart melted, "Look, let them see, look how beautiful my daughter is now."

Fu Jiujiu wanted to help Fu Baiwan up, but he refused. "No need," he said, "Now that you're awake, Dad feels like he's ten years younger."

The father and daughter walked out one after the other.

"He's really awake!"

"Oh, still the same as when they were little, just grown a bit."

"My, my, my. You've grown into such a fine young lady."

Fu Jiujiu listened to everyone's praise, looking at the familiar faces, her heart ached a little. Until her gaze fell on Fan Si Mei's face.

She stomped her feet angrily, "Big liar, putting on a show, you scared the wits out of me."

And the several women who had just been speaking with her were equally unbelievable.

"Grandma, who is she?" The little girl, still being held in her arms at two or three years old, pointed at Fu Jiujiao curiously.

"This is our village's little lucky star, oh dear, no, now that he's grown up, he's a big lucky star."

"Sister of Fortune." the little girl called out sweetly.

"Oh my, that's wrong. You silly girl, you should call me Grandma."

Pffft!

Fujujiao was still a little uncomfortable with the nickname, but then she thought, when she was a little milk bun before, adults already called her little aunt. Now being called "Grand Auntie" is normal too.

"Million Uncle, same old routine?" The man grinned.

Fu Baimian nodded, "That's necessary, the old way. We'll wait for Jiujing, her mother, and her brother-in-law to come back before having a banquet."

Although life is good today and we don't really need this meal, Fu Jiujiu is like the spiritual pillar of our entire village. Her awakening gives everyone hope that our village can return to its former glory.

Everyone chatted a lot, mostly concerned about whether Fujujijiu woke up feeling any unwell or anything like that. Most people were still well-intentioned.

Even those who are malicious, like Fan Si Mei, wouldn't dare to speak up.

After seeing off their relatives, Fu Jiujiu helped Fu Baimang sit down. The weather was neither cold nor hot, and sitting in the courtyard was just right.

Fu Dajin and Zhou shi brought their two children to sit down as well, they also wanted to take a closer look at the little sister.

"Big brother, how's business at your villa these days?"

Fu Dajin scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "It's not much, there aren't many customers now. Besides, summer is coming soon, so it's the off-season. On a day like this, I only make a few ounces of silver."

Compared to its peak, it's definitely not as good.

"How about I go to the villa with you tomorrow?" Fu Jiujiao said.

Fu Dazijin was about to nod, but saw that the old man was unhappy.

"My daughter just woke up, you guys want to tire her out?"

"Chirp, chirp, no rush. We have other business to attend to. Although the ginseng hasn't been growing well these past few years, it's still alright."

Without the nourishment of spring water, ginseng wouldn't grow as well as it used to, would it?

"It's fine, I'm back." Fu Jiujiu smiled.

"Yes, little sister-in-law, once you come back, everything will be alright." Zhou smiled sweetly.

Of course, she hoped her sister-in-law would wake up, but it wasn't entirely for that reason.

To prevent anyone from bothering Fu Jujui again, Fu Baiwan had Fu Dagin lock the courtyard gate from the inside.

In the evening, a family sat together preparing to have dinner.

Just then, the door was knocked loudly.

Fu Baiman frowned, "Who is this again? It's so annoying, always coming to see my daughter."

"Go back. See you in two days," Fu Baimian shouted to the outside.

It's obvious that someone outside could hear us.

"Dad, we can't wait two days! We need to see her now. Please let us meet our little sister."

Fu Jiu Jiu laughed instantly, this was Fifth Brother's voice.

There are still magpies.

And there's also adding fortune.

Sister-in-law's, second brother's!

Fujujiao ran out excitedly, the moment the door opened.

Fujujiao saw that the person opposite her had red eyes, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Mother!"

Fu Jiujiao buried her head in her mother's arms. She still smelled the same, but her mother seemed thinner and shorter.

"Good girl, chirp chirp! Mother knew you'd wake up. Mother finally lived to see you awake." Tian Guihua was so overjoyed that she cried uncontrollably.

Fu Jujù also hugged her and cried. Now, the two of them were almost the same height, and she saw several white hairs on her mother's head at a glance.

"Mother, don't say that. You should live a long and healthy life."

"How many people can live to be a hundred years old?"

"No, you and Father must live a long life, always be with Chi-Chi."

Tian Guihua originally thought it was unrealistic, but when she heard that her little girl needed company, things were different. She readily agreed, "Okay, mother will always be with my daughter."

See you tomorrow!
