It didn't take too much time to copy the documents. I stood at the hospital entrance, holding the money, hesitating to go in.

Grandma's behavior today is really unusual. I instinctively feel that this is a trap.

If I spent the money Grandma gave me today, would she turn around and accuse me of stealing her money to spend it, just like she did before?

I don't mind taking the blame, but my mom has been suffering from severe stomach pain recently. Finally, my dad had time to take her to a major hospital in Beijing for a check-up.

If Grandma catches me at this critical moment, my mom's illness might be prolonged indefinitely.

In the end, I returned home with the money intact and gave it back to Grandma.

Seeing the money I handed back, Grandma was first stunned, then sighed.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy..."

I didn't understand Grandma's words.

But before I could think too much, Grandma quickly greeted me with a smile, "I just made pigeon soup, try it. If you don't like it, Grandma will make something else for you."

I was somewhat surprised by the favor.

Xu Wei and Second Aunt were still sulking inside and refused to come out. Normally, if they didn't come out, Grandma wouldn't let us eat, or she would scold us for being selfish and immature.

I didn't know what caused such a drastic change in Grandma's attitude towards me, but I dared not eat any food she handed me.

Three years ago during the high school entrance exam, Grandma kindly gave me my favorite potato cake.

I thought my good grades had finally earned Grandma's care, but it turned out I was rushed to the hospital with acute food poisoning, almost missing the exam.

Later, I found out that Grandma wanted me to drop out of school and work to earn money, so she deliberately used sprouted potatoes to make food for me.

Seeing my hesitation, Grandma seemed to recall her past "achievements."

So, in front of me, she drank most of the bowl of soup in one go.

"Grandma has tasted it, it's not too hot."

After saying that, Grandma filled the bowl with soup again and placed it in front of me.

My mom also gave me a comforting look, "Grandma made this for you, just try it."

With mixed feelings, I took the bowl of soup, about to taste it, but was startled by the sudden slamming of the door.

"You little brat, why didn't you call me for dinner!"

I looked up and saw Second Aunt couldn't sit still.

"Who are you scolding? Do you think I can't tell?"

"You're in your thirties and still don't know how to help your sister-in-law with chores. I have to be invited to eat.

"Who do you think you are, the Queen Mother of the heavens?

"Our family is just ordinary folks, we can't afford your noble self. Eat if you want, if not, get lost!"

Grandma didn't give Second Aunt any face at all, not even a glance.

Although Second Aunt scolded me sharply, she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Grandma.

She sullenly led Xu Wei to sit at the dining table, and when she saw the simple dishes on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up.
