Qiao Mei helped her grandfather into the house and poured some water into the clean teacup.

Based on her past memories, her grandfather’s body was exhausted and he was about to pass away. She only had these few months left to show her filial piety.

Qiao Qiang blankly took the water that was offered to him and stared at the clean table and spotless floor in front of him.

Qiao Mei knew in her heart that it was because she had made too big a change to herself, leaving him unable to react.

The original owner of the body never had a kind face towards this elderly relative of hers. She would scream and shout all day long, pulling a long face from time to time, as if her grandfather was her enemy.

“Grandfather, I’ve grown up. I didn’t do well in the past, but now I want to change. I hope that from today onwards, everything will be renewed!” Qiao Mei looked at her grandfather’s eyes and sincerely said to him.

“Ah! Okay! Okay!”

When Qiao Qiang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes. He lowered his head and drank water to hide his emotions.

“Drink slowly, don’t scald yourself.”

“Ah! Good, good, good! I’m fine!”

Qiao Qiang swallowed the water and nodded repeatedly. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong and asked, “What about him? Where’s Xia Zhe?”

“Grandfather!” Qiao Mei’s eyes widened. She quickly stood up to walk to her grandfather’s side and said calmly, “Grandfather, don’t be anxious. I didn’t tell you the truth just now. Actually, he said he would come and marry me in a month!”

“He did? Really?” Qiao Qiang quickly asked.

“It’s true, it’s true!” Qiao Mei nodded quickly and then pointed at the jade pendant on her neck. “It’s definitely true. If you don’t believe me, look at this jade pendant on my neck. It’s the keepsake he left behind!”

Qiao Qiang shifted his gaze to the piece of jade. It was crystal clear and suffused with a faint green glow. It was obviously something nice.

He had roamed the world for half his life, so he was still able to judge things for what they were.

“Did you steal this?” Qiao Qiang asked hesitantly.

“Grandfather, do you think I’m someone who would steal things?” With Qiao Qiang’s retirement salary, he was the richest person in the village. He never treated Qiao Mei poorly when it came to her sustenance. It was impossible that the original owner of the body would steal anything.

“That’s right, that’s right! Our Mei Mei has never taken anything from anyone else!” Qiao Qiang’s eyes disappeared into a smile as he thought of this, seemingly proud of himself. “It’s all grandfather’s fault! I shouldn’t have doubted our Mei Mei!”

“Grandfather, don’t worry. From today onwards, I will work hard to change. If I don’t know how to do farm work, I will learn. I will also learn how to cook. I will definitely not be worse than other people’s daughters!”

“Yes, yes, yes! In the past, Mei Mei was just too lazy to learn. As long as Mei Mei made up her mind, she would definitely be better than other girls. Let’s see who dares to belittle our Mei Mei in the future.”

Qiao Qiang grinned, his face filled with relief and hope.
