Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 104 Mutual Redemption

"Sister, this... this Houttuynia cordata is really disgusting."

An Yue smiled secretly, picked up a few pieces of Houttuynia cordata with chopsticks and put them into her mouth, saying, "No! It's delicious! Hehe... If Niannian doesn't like it, then just eat cabbage!"

The brother and sister finished their meal with great amusement, soaked their feet, and then went to bed.

The next day.

The brother and sister got up early, reheated the sweet potato porridge they had cooked last night, and hurriedly finished their breakfast.

An Yue put the yams she brought back from her grandmother's house in a backpack, and each of them carried the basket on their backs, preparing to go to the town to attend the market.

By this time, it was already daybreak.

Baili Village is not far from Shijing Town, nearly half the distance from my grandmother's house to the town.

The brother and sister walked slowly and arrived at the town entrance in fifteen minutes.

After arriving in the town, An Yue took An Nian straight to the medicine store [Jirentang].

As soon as she entered the pharmacy, she saw the medicine boy named Xiao Lu. An Yue smiled and asked, "Brother Xiao Lu, is Doctor Zhang here?"

The boy named Xiao Lu saw that it was An Yue and said with a smile: "Sister An Yue, you are here?"

An Yue heard the tone of the boy's voice, as if he was very familiar with her, so she quickly asked: "Brother Xiao Lu, I didn't expect you to recognize Yueyue?"

Xiao Lu smiled brightly at An Yue, revealing his white and neat teeth, looking very elegant.

"I often hear Master and Master's Wife mention you, so of course I recognize you."

After Xiao Lu finished speaking, he quickly ran to the backyard, shouting as he ran: "Master, Master's Wife, Sister An Yue is here."

After hearing this, Zhang Jizhong and his wife immediately put down their work and rushed to the shop.

When An Yue saw Doctor Zhang, she smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Zhang, Happy New Year! Do you still remember Yueyue?"

"I remember, I remember, of course I remember."

When Doctor Zhang saw An Yue, there was a hint of absent-mindedness in his expression.

The woman following Doctor Zhang seemed to have lost her soul the moment she saw An Yue. She looked at An Yue and called out, "Ning'er...?"

An Yue couldn't help but shrink her neck, turned her head and looked around, there was no one else except An Nian.

So, An Yue asked doubtfully, "Who is Ning'er?"

An Yue saw that the woman was a little distracted, so she walked up to her and raised her hand to wave it, then leaned over and asked, "Auntie, who is Ning'er?"

The woman was in a panic and shouted, "Xiao Lu, come over and take a look. Is this your Junior Sister Ning'er?"

Xiao Lu looked at An Yue carefully, scratched his head, and said, "Master's wife, Miss An Yue and Junior Sister Ning'er do look quite similar, but..."

Before Yao Tonghua finished speaking, she shouted again, "Master, she is my Ning'er."

Xiao Lu was still boiling herbs in the backyard, so he hurried to the backyard.

At this moment, the woman's frowned and heartbroken look was very much like the expression my grandmother had when she learned of her mother's death.

She hugged An Yue in her arms and murmured, "Ning'er... you finally came to see mother."

An Yue was hugged by the woman, feeling a little helpless and not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Auntie, I'm Yueyue, have you forgotten?"

An Nian, who was standing nearby, pulled at her sister's sleeve and asked in a confused voice, "Sister, did they recognize the wrong person?"

An Yue pursed her lips and nodded at An Nian.

Doctor Zhang saw that the lady was losing control of her emotions, so he quickly stepped forward and comforted the woman, saying, "Madam, calm down."

The woman still hugged An Yue tightly and said, "Master, this is our Ning'er."

——A moment later.

She slowly let go of An Yue, looked at her carefully, and said, "I'm sorry, Yueyue, did my aunt scare you?"

An Yue waved her hand and replied, "Uh...it's okay, it's okay."

The woman reached out and smoothed down An Yue's hair, whispering, "Yes! How could it be Ning'er?"

After the woman finished speaking, her entire body seemed to have lost its soul. She went limp and almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, An Yue was quick to act and hugged the woman. Seeing this, Doctor Zhang hurried forward and helped the woman sit on a round stool.

After the woman sat down, Doctor Zhang raised his head and said solemnly, "Yueyue, since she last saw you, she has often been talking about your coming."

"Madam has been missing her daughter for a long time. Now that you are here, she can't control herself. Please don't blame me, Yueyue!"

After saying this, Doctor Zhang bowed to An Yue.

An Yue quickly helped Doctor Zhang up and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's normal."

Doctor Zhang frowned and said, "To be honest, when you first walked into the shop and smiled at me that day, I also felt that you looked a bit like Ning'er."

"It's just...it's just that I kept reminding myself at the time that it must be an illusion caused by missing you too much."

An Yue touched her face and asked, "Do I look like your daughter?"

Doctor Zhang sighed and replied, "Yes! You two look quite similar, especially the way you hold the herbs, it's exactly the same."

The woman adjusted herself now and said with some disappointment, "My dear, I'm really sorry. I was a little bit rude just now. Didn't I scare you?"

An Yue shook her head and said, "Aunt, it's okay."

The woman gently patted the back of An Yue's hand, then slowly turned around and motioned for Doctor Zhang to help her to the backyard.

But she kept repeating: "Ning'er...my Ning'er..."

An Yue couldn't bear to see the couple in such a state of despair, so she said loudly, "Uncle, Aunt, if you two don't mind, Yue Yue is willing to call you dad and mom on behalf of your daughter."

When the woman heard An Yue say this, she looked up suddenly, turned around quickly, and looked at An Yue with twinkling eyes.

Doctor Zhang turned his head immediately, his expression also stunned.

Looking at their expectant eyes, An Yue walked towards them unconsciously.

An Yue held the woman's hands with both hands, smiled at the couple, and called sweetly: "Daddy...Mom..."

The woman's lips trembled slightly with excitement, and tears immediately flowed like a torrent.

The woman quickly raised her hands and covered her mouth and nose, fearing that she would cry out loud.

At this moment, An Yue had no idea whether the woman's expression was happy or sad.

She excitedly hugged An Yue again and cried, "My child, my child..."

Although the man shed tears, he did not shed tears easily, but he was not sad yet.

Doctor Zhang was touched to the heart by An Yue's call of "Daddy", and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

An Yue looked at the couple crying and sobbing. For some reason, her heart felt as if it was pierced by a needle and it was painful.

An Nian looked at everyone crying. Perhaps he was also thinking of his father and mother. Without knowing when, he had run behind An Yue and hugged her tightly.

The streets were bustling at noon when suddenly a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the drugstore.
