Cheng Ling took the bus back home. After the spring equinox, the sky became dark at a later time.

In the past, when Cheng Ling reached home, the half-moon was already hanging in the sky. But now, the sky was still bright.

To return to her small villa, she had to pass through the gate of the Cheng Residence.

When Cheng Ling passed by, she saw many cars parked at the door.

Many workers were moving boxes of things into the house.

Cheng Ming and Xie Wan were standing at the door, instructing the workers to arrange what they were moving.

Cheng Ling acted as if she didn’t see the two of them. She directly bypassed them and walked on the path back home.

Xie Ying was waiting for her to eat as usual.

“Ling Ling is home. Come, wash your hands and eat.”

Cheng Ling looked left and right, but she didn’t see Wang Ma.

As a servant, Wang Ma lived more comfortably than her master. Every time she was in need, she would be away.

“Grandma, did you cook today’s dishes again?”

Xie Ying took off her apron and wiped her hands. “Yes, Wang Ma said she had to make a trip home for something.”

Cheng Ling put her bag on the sofa and said disapprovingly, “Grandma, you are too kind. Wang Ma is supposed to work for you. You allow her to take off every day still give her a salary. It’s too good for her.”

Cheng Ling went into the kitchen to help Xie Ying serve the dishes and fill the bowls with rice.

“I’m used to working all my life. I’m not used to having someone to serve me.”

Cheng Ling didn’t continue this topic because she knew Xie Ying wouldn’t listen to her. How could her habits of decades change overnight?

Fortunately, the person she was looking for was about to arrive. When the time came, she could “invite” Wang Ma to leave.

“Ling Ling, try today’s sweet potato leaves. They were the vegetables you picked that night. I had a good lunch eating it today.”

There were two simple dishes and one soup on the table. It was the winter melon and egg soup, followed by a plate of sweet potato leaves and a braised rib.
