As soon as Song Yan finished speaking, Doctor Xie and Li Shu both looked at him with wide eyes.
Doctor Xie looked at Li Shu, his eyes full of worry, and asked, "Xiao Shu, don’t you remember what happened that day?"
Knowing that they would not believe it if she told them that she had experienced death after living for 28 years and returned to her younger self, Li Shu decided to tell them that she had lost her memory. In this way, it makes more sense, and she has reason to ask her family about her life these years.
She nodded, lowered her head, and said softly, "Sorry, I don’t remember anything except my name and family."
"Do you still remember who I am?" Doctor Xie asked.
Li Shu shook her head and said, "I can’t remember clearly, but I feel very close to you. Are you my family?"
At this time, Doctor Xie was debating whether to tell her that he might be her biological grandfather. But when he saw her pale face, he decided to wait until she got better. If she finds out that she is not the biological daughter of Li Sang and Chen Lina, she will feel unsafe and it might worsen her condition.
After making up his mind, Doctor Xie said, "I am a doctor from the same village as you. You often help me collect medicinal materials and learn some skills from me."
Hearing his words, Li Shu smiled and said, "In that case, are you my teacher? I’m sorry, teacher, I forgot about you."
Doctor Xie waved his hand and said, "You should call me grandpa instead of teacher. I adopted you as my granddaughter a few days ago."
Li Shu was surprised when she heard his words. In her previous life, she had never been adopted by him. When her grandmother died, her mother eloped with another man and left a letter. From that letter, they learned that Li Shu was not their daughter and that she was exchanged with their stillborn daughter as soon as she was born.
From that day on, her father never returned to the village, and her brother only came to see her when he needed money for gambling. Everything in this life was so different from her previous life that it confused her.
When she didn’t speak, Doctor Xie explained, "You may not realize this because you were unconscious at the time. However, your grandma and your father have agreed. We will hold the ceremony after you are discharged from the hospital."
After a while, Li Shu finally nodded and said, "Grandpa."
Doctor Xie was overjoyed when he heard her calling him grandpa. He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his sleeve and said hoarsely, "Aye, my good granddaughter."
Seeing his teacher behaving like this, Song Yan became more suspicious of Li Shu’s identity.
Mother Pan gave him a sharp look and said, "You’d better stop discriminating against the villagers and get rid of your bad habits. Are there any problems with the villagers? Without them, we would have no food."
Before Father Pan could defend himself, he heard his wife add, "More importantly, you should be glad that our daughter has a good fate and found an honest and hard-working man. Look at the fruits and vegetables he sent, you can tell that our daughter won’t starve to death if she marries him."
After hearing his wife’s words, Father Pan sighed and said helplessly, "Wife, I didn’t look down on him, I was just talking casually. Why are you so angry?"
"I don’t care if you say it casually or not, you’d better not embarrass our son-in-law. I don’t want him to feel that our family is against him. If I lose this son-in-law, see how I deal with you," Mother Pan threatened before she continued cleaning the kumquats.
Father Pan looked at his wife and said sourly, "Wife, he hasn’t even come to visit us yet, but you already defend him like this. When he marries our daughter, won’t you treat him any better than me?"
Mother Pan ignored her husband and hummed a tune. She plans to share some of the fruit with her best friend and brag about her future son-in-law.
In the past, even if he didn’t say anything, Father Pan was worried about his grandchildren’s future education. If the father is uneducated, it will be difficult for him to have the mentality of giving priority to education, which will result in his children being unable to receive proper education.
