Several people in the yard looked over in the direction of the sound and found Aunt Zhao standing at the door with a cane, looking at them lovingly.

Erdan quickly dropped the broom in his hand and ran over to support Aunt Zhao, his tone full of worry.

"Mom, why don't you just rest on the bed? What are you doing out here? It's so sunny outside, aren't you afraid of hurting your eyes?"

Aunt Zhao smiled lovingly, her face full of happiness. She patted the back of Erdan's hand and comforted him, "It's okay, Erdan, don't worry. My eyes are almost healed. I'm not afraid of light anymore. Look, I can see my son's face clearly now."

As Aunt Zhao spoke, she groped her hand towards Erdan's face. Erdan quickly moved closer and took the initiative to let Aunt Zhao touch the side of his cheek.

"Son, who were you talking to just now? Why did I hear the voices of Miss Wen and Miss Wan'er?" Aunt Zhao turned her head and looked towards the center of the yard. She could vaguely see several figures standing in the yard, but they were quite far away and she still couldn't see their faces clearly.

Before Erdan could speak, Xiao Wan ran to Aunt Zhao, reached out and grabbed her hand, and said with a smile.

"Aunt, Wan'er is here to see you!"

Hearing Xiao Wan's voice, Aunt Zhao immediately smiled, reached out and touched Xiao Wan's tender little face, her voice full of joy.

"Wan'er girl is here, oh, come and let your aunt have a good look at her."

Seeing the two people getting along harmoniously, Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye also walked up to Aunt Zhao.

Xiao Wan began to introduce her two brothers to Aunt Zhao.

"Aunt, these are my two brothers. They are both very capable and very kind to me. They came to visit you today."

Aunt Zhao looked up. Although everything in front of her was blurry, she could still vaguely make out the two tall and thin figures.

She quickly smiled and nodded. She didn't expect so many people would come to see her today. Aunt Zhao was immediately happy and couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, okay, great, you are all good kids."

Xiao Ye stood aside and looked at Aunt Zhao carefully. When he heard what she said, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hey, Auntie, my name is Xiao Ye, and this is my and my little sister's older brother, his name is Xiao Ze."

"Okay, both babies have good names. You can tell at a glance that they will have promising futures. Miss Wen, you are so lucky. It's so hard for others to have such a sensible baby, but you have three. You are so lucky." Aunt Zhao's face was full of smiles, her teeth showing.

The more I watched them, the more I felt that these three polite children cherished them.

After a long period of loneliness, Aunt Zhao now longs for some liveliness. Wen Shutang and his family come to visit her, adding a lot of joy and popularity to this deserted little courtyard.

Wen Shutang walked forward, bent down and carefully looked at Aunt Zhao's eye condition. He found that the yellow-white turbid secretions around her eyes had disappeared a lot. Now her eyes have opened slightly, but the small red spots inside have not completely disappeared.

This proves that the medicine Wen Shutang prescribed for her is effective, but it will still take a long time for her to fully recover.

"Auntie, how have you been feeling these days? How are your eyes?" Wen Shutang said in a relaxed tone as he stood beside Aunt Zhao.

When Aunt Zhao heard Wen Shutang's voice, she immediately became excited and reached out to grab Wen Shutang's sleeve and refused to let go.

"Much better, really much better. This is all thanks to you, Miss Wen. If it weren't for you, my eyes would have been completely ruined. Not to mention seeing the light again, whether I could survive is another matter. Now I can not only see things more clearly, but also seeing the light is not as painful as before. You see, I am not afraid of the sun when I stand in this yard now. Thank you so much, Miss Wen. It is you who let an old woman like me see the light again."

Aunt Zhao's tone was excited and her voice seemed a little choked. Before meeting Wen Shutang, she had never thought that she would be able to see the sun again, but now she could stand in the yard like a normal person and feel the warmth of the sun. How could she not be excited?

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhao held Wen Shutang's hand even tighter. She choked with sobs and was unable to speak for a while.

Seeing Aunt Zhao like this, Wen Shutang felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly comforted her: "Aunt, don't be like this, this is what you should do, you don't have to think too much."

Aunt Zhao waved her hands, calmed herself down, and then started laughing again, but that smile made people feel a little sad no matter how they looked at it.

"It's okay, girl. Auntie is so happy. I never thought that one day I would be able to see the sun again. And now I have a good child like Erdan to accompany me. It's really worth it for the rest of my life."

Erdan held Aunt Zhao's arm, feeling an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He did not say anything, but just silently grasped Aunt Zhao's sleeve.

Wen Shutang and his family chatted with Aunt Zhao in the yard for a while. During that time, Xiao Yizhuo heard a few birds chirping and went out. No one paid attention to it. Only Wen Shutang knew that there must be news from Muzhu.

After Xiao Yizhuo came back, Wen Shutang found an excuse to say goodbye to Aunt Zhao and Erdan, and the family walked out of the yard and returned to the inn.

Wen Shutang told the children to go back to their rooms to review their homework. She closed the door, turned around and asked Xiao Yizhuo.

"How is it? Did Muzhu send the message?"

Xiao Yizhuo nodded, and seeing that Wen Shutang looked a little anxious, he knew that she was missing home, and his heart softened.

"Well, Mu Xia came back from Qingshui Town. She said Fang Wenhe had already taken his men away and did not leave any spies around. It was said that there was a problem with the shops in the capital, so Fang Wenhe left in a hurry."

Hearing what Xiao Yizhuo said, Wen Shutang's eyes lit up: "So, we can pack up and return now?"

"Well, let's pack up now and set off tomorrow. It will probably take two or three days to reach Qingshui Town." Xiao Yizhuo raised a faint smile on his lips and responded in a soft tone.

"That's great!" Wen Shutang was a little excited. She had been looking forward to going back for a long time. She always had a feeling of being a drifter outside. Ever since she enjoyed the love given to her by Liu Sufen and Wen Qing, she couldn't let go and couldn't leave them.

She wanted to keep this kind of warmth by her side forever.

Thinking of Liu Sufen and Wen Qing, Wen Shutang's desire to return home became more obvious. She stood up and said.

"Then I'll pack up now, and we'll leave for home tomorrow! Let Uncle Wu know when we go out for dinner." Wen Shutang walked excitedly to the bedside and began to pack up.

Seeing her in a hurry, Xiao Yizhuo smiled helplessly, then walked to her side to help her pack her things.
