The door opened with a creak, and Zhou Daya, her face streaked with tears, supported Mrs. Han, who was equally tearful, out the door.

“Miss Zhou…”

Before Zhang Lin could finish his sentence, Zhou Daya and Mrs. Han had both knelt down in front of him, surprising him so much that he quickly extended his hand to help them. “What are you doing? Get up.”

“Thankyou, Mr. Cha, thank you, Master Ding. You saved Daya’s life,” Mrs. Han sobbed tearfully, her voice shaky as she spoke, “I truly want to thank you.”

“Master Ding specifically asked me to relay his message that all of this is expected of us, and you shouldn’t dwell on it.”

Zhang Lin said, “Qi He and Qi Shen have been captured and the rumors about the Water Ghost have been dispelled. You should feel at ease from now on. And regarding the people in the village…”

Even though some are selfish, a small part of them should still be good and willing to help these two generations of grandmother and granddaughter.

“You just relax.” said Zhang Lin.

“Yes, we’ll be at ease, at ease.” Mrs. Han agreed readily.

But could her heart really be at ease?

After getting deceived by the two villains this time, some people saw that their family had no one and started bullying them. Who knew if there would be another villain in the future, would there be another incident?

Mrs. Han didn’t know, nor did she dare to think. She could only sigh in her heart, not revealing any of her thoughts on her face, simply echoing Zhang Lin’s words.

Zhang Lin could see it but didn’t point it out. Instead, he started to chat with Mrs. Han and Zhou Daya about other topics to build a closer relationship.

He even ate his midday meal there and didn’t return to the County Government Office until the sun was westward.

“Grandma, you should rest a bit,” Zhou Daya suggested, noticing the fatigue on Mrs. Han’s face, planning to help her into the house for a nap.

“Let’s not rest, let’s tidy up a bit.” Mrs. Han sighed, “Take all the things we can carry. Valuable things, things we use often, grab all of them. Don’t take what we can’t take. We’ll figure it out later.”

“Grandma, are you… ” Zhou Daya straightened up, “Are we moving?”

“Let’s move. I fear we won’t have peace if we stay here.”

Mrs. Han sighed, “You heard those people earlier, they only care about their own feelings, never considering ours. Who knows what they’ll gossip about us being cautious in the future. Living like this… it’s all right.”

“Your grandpa and I were not originally from this clan. We came here to escape famine. As outsiders, we were never warmly welcomed. Your dad is quiet and does not know how to socialize, his temperament is not likeable, so when things happen, no one helps our family. Living rootless here, it might be better for us to go to your aunt, at least we can help each other.”

“Take as much as you can, let’s leave early tomorrow.”
