The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the ward, creating patches of light and shadow. Tang Mei was still in a dream, and vaguely felt someone gently caressing her cheek.

She tried hard to open her heavy eyelids, and dimly saw a familiar figure - it turned out to be her mother. Tang Mei murmured to herself: "Mom, don't disturb me, let me sleep a little longer... I'm really sleepy." Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again, ready to continue enjoying this moment of tranquility.

However, what responded to Tang Mei was not her mother's words, but a clear and pleasant laugh. This laugh was like a breeze, brushing past Tang Mei's ears and making her wake up instantly. She sat up suddenly, staring at the bedside with wide eyes, and saw her mother looking at her lovingly.

Tang Mei rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up from the bed, and looked at her mother. At this time, she noticed that her mother's face seemed to be the same as yesterday, still as pale as paper, but with a faint blush on her face, as if a warm spring breeze had blown over her.

"Mom, you finally woke up!" Tang Mei said excitedly, with joy in her eyes. She held her mother's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from her loved one. Aunt Tang San also smiled and responded: "Yes, my dear daughter, it's great to see you when mom wakes up. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Tang Mei nodded vigorously, then reached out and gently touched her mother's face. This intimate gesture brought the mother and daughter closer together and filled the entire ward with a warm atmosphere.

"Mom, you're awake. That's great! I was worried that you wouldn't wake up." Tang Mei said to Aunt Tang San in a tearful voice.

"My little baby, don't cry. Mommy can't bear to leave you, daddy and your brother." Aunt Tang San touched Tang Mei's little face lovingly.

Tang Mei wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't cry anymore, as long as mom is fine."

"Well, this is my mother's good baby."

Tang Mei smiled happily at Aunt Tang San. Mom was awake, but where was Dad? She turned to look at Uncle Tang San and found that he was closing his eyes, but his breathing was even, so he must have fallen asleep. Tang Mei finally felt relieved. Fortunately, she didn't lose her loved ones.

"Mom, you take a rest first, I'll go buy breakfast," Tang Mei got out of bed before she finished her words.

Gao Xiang had been waiting at the door for a long time, because there were female comrades in the room, it was not convenient to go in. When he heard Tang Mei was about to come out, he hurriedly knocked on the door with breakfast in his hand.

"Sister-in-law, can I come in?" Gao Xiang's voice sounded at the door.

When Tang Mei heard it, she hurried to open the door for him.

"Brother Gao, you came so early and bought breakfast. I was just about to go buy more. Thank you." Tang Mei's mother woke up and was in a very good mood. She said with a smile.

"You finally smile, girl. Come and have breakfast. I bought some meat buns especially for you." Gao Xiang shook the breakfast in his hand.

"Wow, thank you Brother Gao, I really love eating buns." Tang Mei smiled with dimples showing.

Gao Xiang saw the empty bench next to him, moved it over and put his breakfast on it.

"How do you feel, sister-in-law?"

"Very well, thank you, Gao Zhiqing, thanks to your help, otherwise we would have..." Aunt Tang San's voice couldn't help but choke up when she said this. She really couldn't bear to think about what would happen to her daughter and son if something happened to her and the head of the family!

Gao Xiang looked at Aunt Tang San who was crying loudly, and hurriedly comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, it's good that she woke up, hurry up and have breakfast."

Aunt Tang San felt a little embarrassed, so she took the porcelain bowl from his hand and started eating.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open.

"Linlin, Linlin, you...you're awake." Granny Liu rushed in from outside, her hair wet, she didn't know if it was sweat or dew. She wanted to cry, but when she saw her daughter sitting on the bed eating, she held back her tears.

"Mom!" When Aunt Tang San saw her mother, she instantly felt like she had survived a catastrophe.

Granny Liu, carrying her little grandson on her back, strode forward and hugged her daughter, and they both burst into tears.

Tang Mei was also infected by them, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Now that Granny Liu had arrived, she felt relieved and took the buns and prepared to take a walk downstairs as exercise.

After going out, Tang Mei saw Lin Xiao standing at the door, and only then did she feel like looking at him carefully.

This boy has grown a lot taller, and his facial features are becoming more and more three-dimensional. He really grows in her heart and becomes more and more handsome.

She could hear her heart beating loudly. What was going on? She was already his grandmother, so why was she still attracted to a child? No, no, she had to quickly move sideways and walk past him.

"Meimei!" Lin Xiao called her.

"Huh?" Tang Mei looked at him in confusion.

"Why are your eyes so red? Are you crying again?" Lin Xiao came forward and wiped the non-existent tears from Tang Mei's face.

"You...what are you doing?" Tang Mei was startled and took a step back. She wondered in her heart, would this kid have any idea about a five-year-old child?

Lin Xiao looked at her retreating movements and said unnaturally: "I... I will help you wipe your tears, don't cry, I will ask Uncle Luo to check again."

Tang Mei doubted whether she really had tears. She touched her face and found it was dry. Oh no, she was fooled by this guy again.

"How's your investigation going?" Tang Mei asked.

Lin Xiao looked into Tang Mei's eyes and said seriously, "Based on Uncle Luo's investigation last night, it should be confirmed that you were poisoned. This morning, Uncle Luo and I went to the town's public security bureau to report the case, and they will intervene in the investigation."

What he didn't say was that when he went to the town's Public Security Bureau this morning, the people inside kept making excuses, saying that it was impossible for someone to poison them, and that they ate it themselves. It was only when Lin Xiao used his grandfather's connections and found the director of the Public Security Bureau that he forced them to investigate the matter.

Although Tang Mei already had the answer in her mind, she was still shocked by the news. She knew that people in the countryside often quarreled and fought, but she had never expected such a vicious thing.

"Then please trouble you and Uncle Luo to continue investigating. I want to know who poisoned my family. If they are not caught, will they poison us again in the future?" Tang Mei pleaded sincerely.

Lin Xiao watched Tang Mei speak to him gently, and he became more determined to find the bad guy: "Well, even if you don't tell me, I will do it."

"You sent my grandma here, right? Thank you."

Lin Xiao smiled and replied: "This is a small matter. We also want to come to town to visit aunt and uncle."

Tang Mei looked at Ling Xiao who suddenly appeared in the Bayi Brigade and asked curiously, "Why are you in the village? Your cousin has gotten married and returned to Kyoto. You should know that."

Lin Xiao's face suddenly turned red. He originally wanted to find an excuse that he was here to see his cousin, but now he didn't even have an excuse.

Lin Xiao's brain worked quickly, and he finally thought of a perfect reason: "I... I came to see Sister Ran. I was entrusted by my cousin. Also, I am studying in the provincial capital now. In the future, in addition to returning to Kyoto during the winter and summer vacations, I will come to the village to see Sister Ran."

In fact, he didn't know why he always wanted to come to this village.

"Boss, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort?" Aunt Tang's surprised voice came from the ward.

Tang Mei and Lin Xiao also ended their conversation and hurried into the ward.

As soon as Tang Mei entered the room, she saw Uncle Tang San opened his eyes. She comforted Aunt Tang San with a weak voice: "I... I'm fine now. Don't cry, my wife."

Uncle Tang raised his hand with difficulty and wanted to get up and wipe the tears from his wife's face, but there was a bed between them.

Tang San's wife was so touched to see that the head of the family was still thinking about her even though he was in such a state. "I won't cry. I'm glad you woke up."

Uncle Tang finally had the energy to look around. His daughter, mother-in-law, Lin Xiao, and Gao Zhiqing were all there. He had no idea what was going on. "Where is this?"

Gao Xiang hurried forward, carefully helped Uncle Tang up, and put a pillow behind him. "Brother Tang, this is a hospital."

Uncle Tang was very puzzled: "I just wanted to eat, why did I end up in the hospital?"

Tang Mei looked at her father pitifully.

"Meimei, why do you look like you're about to cry? Isn't Daddy doing fine?"

Tang Mei threw herself into Uncle Tang's arms.

"I was scared to death. When I came home from school yesterday, I saw you and mom lying on the ground. I was so scared that my legs went weak. Don't do this again in the future." Tang Mei said childishly.

"Ah~" Uncle Tang couldn't remember what happened yesterday.

Lin Xiao looked at Uncle Tang San who was puzzled, walked up to him and said, "Uncle, Uncle Luo and I observed the area around your house yesterday and found someone secretly observing you. The grass under the house was trampled into a mess, and it has been more than a day, so you and your aunt may have been poisoned."

"Poison?" Everyone in the room screamed except Tang Mei and Lin Xiao.

Granny Liu turned pale with fear and gnashed her teeth as she said, "Who the hell is so wicked as to poison my son-in-law and daughter?"

Lin Xiao continued, "Aunt, I'm sorry. In order to see if your rice was poisonous, I poured the leftover rice on your two hens, and the chickens were poisoned to death."

Aunt Tang San felt sorry for the hen after hearing what he said, but she was also relieved: "Money is only a thing outside of our body. It's okay, Xiaoxiao. When she's well, we can buy two more to continue laying eggs."

Uncle Tang's expression was a little ugly at the moment. He thought he was nice to everyone in the village, but he didn't expect that someone was secretly drugging him.

While several people were talking, the door was opened from the outside again.

"There are so many of you here, please speak softly and don't disturb the patients' rest." The young doctor was startled by the crowds of people in the room.

"Oh, sorry, we get it. We will speak more quietly." Gao Xiang said quickly.

The young doctor nodded without saying anything else. He walked forward, pulled up Aunt Tang and Uncle Tang's eyes and mouths, observed them carefully, and asked them to say "ah". After confirming that there was no big problem, he recorded it in his notebook.

They are both fine now. The poisoning was not serious and the contents of their stomachs have been washed out. They will be discharged after three or four days of recuperation in the hospital. If you have any questions, come to my office~" After saying this, he left with the notebook without waiting for anyone to speak.
