If other children tasted it, they would definitely not be able to resist eating a few more, but Jiaojiao didn't have that thought at all after eating it. She didn't even swallow the first one.

Jiang Wan didn't have any doubts at that time. Now thinking about it, she asked Jiaojiao if it was sweet.

She didn't have any feelings of her own, and repeated Jiang Wan's words, saying they were also sweet.

"How could this be?"

Her parents and even her sister don't have this situation, so how could she be like this?

Until Jiang Wan carried Jiaojiao back to their little house.

The old man sat on the couch.

Jiaojiao broke free from Jiang Wan and ran towards her.

"Grandma, you're awake? Are you finally okay?" Jiaojiao held her grandmother's hand, "Grandma, you can sit up now! Jiaojiao knew you would be okay."

The joy in Jiaojiao's tone was even greater than the two bowls of wontons she had just eaten.

Jiang Wan looked at the smiling old man and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could this be... a last gasp of light?

Jiang Wan and Fu Yan did not go in, leaving the space to their only two relatives.

Jiaojiao talked a lot with her grandmother, and also told her how she would earn money when she grew up so that she could buy her endless glutinous rice cakes.

She unpacked the glutinous rice cake she had just bought on the street and took out a piece. "Grandma, try it. I bought it for you."

The old man still had a kind smile on his face as he looked at his little granddaughter, "Okay, okay..."

Jiaojiao watched her grandmother put the glutinous rice cake into her mouth and really thought that her grandmother was well again and could eat by herself.

"Grandma, Jiaojiao misses you so much..." Jiaojiao hugged the old woman's waist with both hands.

The old man looked towards Fu Yan and Jiang Wan, "Who's that over there?"

"It was the fairies. They saved grandma, gave me a bath, bought me new clothes, and took me to eat wontons. The glutinous rice cakes were also bought by the fairies."

The old man looked at Jiaojiao's fitting clothes, which were inlaid with gold threads at the corners.

She squeezed Jiaojiao's hand and kissed her little face. "Go out and call the two nobles over, and then help grandma close the door. Grandma will say a few words to them, okay?"

Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he fluttered his legs and ran over, "Fairy! Can you talk to my grandma?"

Jiang Wan looked at the old man in the room and pursed his lips, "Okay."

He and Fu Yan walked in, and Jiaojiao stood guard at the door.

The door is closed.

Jiang Wan vaguely knew what the old man was going to say, and felt even more uncomfortable.

The old man, who had just stood in front of her, knelt down from the kang.

If Jiang Wan hadn't stepped forward to support her in time, she might have lost her leg. She had been lying in bed for so long, her bones were not in good condition, and her muscles were also degenerating.

"I didn't do anything big, mother-in-law, you don't have to be like this." Jiang Wan helped the person back to bed.

The old man still had a smile on his face. “It may not be a big deal, but in our eyes, you are a living Buddha from heaven.”

"I don't know why you are here, but from your clothes I know you are either rich or noble. I guess we have no use for you."

As the old man spoke, tears streamed down his face. "I know I won't live long, and I've accepted it, but my granddaughter..."

"Mother-in-law, don't worry. I like Jiaojiao very much and will take good care of her." Jiang Wan held her hand.

The old man shook his head. "I know you mean well, but we are not related at all, and I don't want to trouble you. I have a granddaughter named Zhao Yue. She took all the money from our family and is in Shangjing. I only ask you to help my little granddaughter Jiaojiao find her. Jiaojiao is her biological sister, she can't just ignore her."

Jiang Wan held back what he wanted to say. Telling the old man about Zhao Yue now would probably make him restless before he dies.

She nodded, "I understand. I will definitely help Jiaojiao find her sister."

"Thank you very much. She took several hundred taels of silver. I will write a receipt now. The money is not hers alone. You have helped us so much. Apart from the money left for Jiaojiao, the rest is for you."

Jiang Wan stopped her, "No need."

The old woman was determined to sign the agreement. "She is not a kind-hearted person. I am afraid that she will not acknowledge her as her sister, so I must write it."

Jiang Wan then asked Fu Yan to prepare paper and pen.

Jiaojiao also ran in, "Grandma, are you done talking?"

"Jiaojiao, grandma can let your fairy take you to find your sister, okay?" The old woman didn't want the poor girl to witness her death. She had experienced enough.

"No, I don't want my sister, I want my grandma." Jiaojiao obviously sensed that her grandma was going to take her away, so she held her tightly and refused to let go.

Jiang Wan looked at the two men, each one thinner than the other.

"Be obedient, I can take good care of you." The old woman patted the little man in her arms on the back, "If that heartless person wants to ignore you, you kneel in front of the official's house. I don't believe in justice. She doesn't even recognize her own sister."

"Grandma, I want to stay with you." Jiaojiao hugged her, as if she already knew something, her tears wet the collar on her chest.

Jiang Wan gently stroked her cheek, "Jiaojiao, don't you want to go with Sister Fairy?"

Jiang Wan also didn't want Jiaojiao, a five-year-old child, to watch her grandmother die.

"I want to stay with my grandma..." Jiaojiao didn't look at Jiang Wan, but just hugged her grandma tightly.

"This..." The old woman didn't know what to do for a moment, and she didn't have the heart to say anything harsh to the child.

"Let her stay with you." Jiang Wan and the old man looked at each other.

The edges of those wrinkled and cloudy eyes were blurred by water, and the person in front of him seemed to become blurry.

Jiang Wan stood up and stood at the door.

Fu Yan brought paper and pen.

"You..." Fu Yan looked at her slightly swollen eyelids and held her hand. "You go back first. I'll watch over here."

Jiang Wan shook his head, "Let's go together, the old lady is having a last gasp, I guess..."

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes, tears falling to the ground, "Jiaojiao must be feeling very uncomfortable."

Fu Yan let out a long sigh, hugged Jiang Wan gently, and handed the thing in his hand to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan then took it in and placed it in front of the old man.

The old man now looks energetic, but the hand holding the pen is shaking.

Jiaojiao watched her write something on the paper stroke by stroke. She asked her grandmother, "Grandma, Jiaojiao also wants to learn how to write. Can you teach me?"

The old man paused and said, "When you find your sister, ask her to send you to school. There will be a special teacher to teach you."

"No, I want you to teach me, grandma..." Jiaojiao held the old woman's thin hands with her two small hands, tears welled up in her eyes again, "Grandma, please teach me, I want you to teach me, I won't learn from others."

The old woman had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I'll teach you. Grandma will teach you tomorrow..."

After saying that, the old woman turned her back and secretly wiped her face with her sleeves tucked in. People of her age understand their own bodies best... She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish the night.
