She really wanted to pat her chest and promise Li Man that she would definitely cure her.

But she couldn't do this.

Seeing the way the head of the Gong family in front of him lowered his eyes and said nothing, Li Man already understood.

There was a hint of slight disappointment in his eyes, but more of a hint of indifference.

"I'm just an ordinary person. I'm afraid of losing, so I choose not to gamble."

Probably the women of the Gong family are naturally rebellious, so when faced with various crises, Lin Mengya never thought of taking a step back.

Perhaps before this, she was most likely to think that Li Man's attitude of giving up without a fight was cowardly.

But as a mother and a wife, she could actually understand Li Man's choice.

If he didn't gamble, Li Man would still have time to say goodbye to his children and lover.

She raised her head and looked at Li Man's smiling face.

This is a woman who lives a uniquely transparent life. Even though the outcome is already determined, Li Man still chooses to hold her short life in her own hands.

Lin Mengya took a deep breath and felt relieved.

"I will help you make some medicine and delay it as long as possible."

There was a bit of surprise in Li Man's eyes, and a soft smile appeared on his thin and pale face.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like we are like old friends at first sight. I think it's probably because of fate."

Lin Mengya shook her hand.

"I feel the same way. It's like I've met you before."

The two brave women looked at each other and smiled, and then Li Man was picked up by Ji Fang Village.

Looking at the two men, one big and one small, holding the woman's hands, the family of three walked slowly on the road. The sunlight lengthened their backs, blending into one body among the mottled light and shadow.

Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little sad.

For a woman like Li Man, even if her body will be taken away by death, time can make her engraved in the hearts of everyone who has ever interacted with her.

She shook her head, feeling that she might be a little too sentimental.

Turning around, she saw her man sitting in a wheelchair, listening to his subordinates report on errands.

She walked to Long Tianyu, and the man subconsciously looked back at her and continued to deal with things.

As soon as the person left, a pair of lotus arms gently wrapped around his neck.

Long Tianyu patted her hand gently, feeling that his wife's mood was a little low.

"No persuasion?"

"Um?"

She buried her head on his shoulder and replied in a muffled voice.

Long Tianyu touched her little head comfortingly.

"Everyone has his or her own destiny. Li Man is a smart man and naturally knows how to choose."

His comfort was still without any pretentiousness, but Lin Mengya just accepted it.

she

He raised his head and stared at the profile of his man carefully.

"I thought of my mother."

This is also the reason why she helped Li Man like this.

Long Tianyu naturally knew it, grabbed her little hand, and pulled her into his arms.

"My mother-in-law is very considerate. Even I would not be able to be like her."

It's not that he is self-effacing.

If you think about it carefully, there are foreshadowings laid by her mother everywhere in Ya'er's journey.

A person's life is limited, but the Gong family insisted on taking the lives of countless generations to leave a way for their descendants to survive.

Even if he is powerful, he cannot compete with the collective wisdom of those people.

Although his Ya'er had an unfortunate childhood experience, she was also extremely lucky.

Behind her, silently supporting her forward, are countless brave and wise mothers.

Lin Mengya leaned on his chest.

"Speaking of which, Li Man is really similar to my mother. My father said that when he first met my mother, she was a heroic girl who was fearless. Maybe I just followed her 'brave' character.

Part of her, but Li Man is more like the 'soft' part of my mother."

A girl who was born with a destiny, spent all her time fighting against her destiny.

Even at the cost of dying, my mother still chose to marry the man she loved and left behind a son and a daughter.

Although my mother's life was short, she never treated her badly one day.

She closed her eyes, and the sunlight fell gently on her body, like a mother's gentle embrace, with a deep warmth.

Long Tianyu looked at her quiet little face and couldn't help but smile.

But none of them expected that this tenderness would not last until the sunrise the next day.

"Master, something happened!"

At midnight, Bai Su knocked on their door with a cold expression.

She hadn't woken up yet, but Long Tianyu suddenly woke up and called Bai Su in.

"What's the matter?"

As soon as he sat up, Lin Mengya got out of the bed with sleepy eyes.

Bai Su stood in front of the bed and said in a deep voice, "The wife in Ji Fang Village is gone."

She hesitated for a few seconds, and then the sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

"Impossible! I've seen her pulse, she has at least half a year to live, and I've given her medicine before. People will never die like this!"

Bai Su's expression became more complicated.

"Mrs. Ji did indeed die of illness - she was killed!

"

For a moment, Lin Mengya was left stunned.

"Who did it?"

"Presbyterian Council, Sixth Young Master!"

"What?"

Putting on her clothes, Lin Mengya followed Bai Su straight to Jifang Village's residence with her hair disheveled.

She couldn't figure out why the woman who could still chat and laugh with her during the day turned into a female corpse in the middle of the night.

The family of three in Jifang Village did not choose to squeeze in with the tribesmen in the big house, but returned to their home.

It was a small but clean and tidy courtyard, but now, a lot of people were pouring into it.

Bai Su stood by her side and said to the crowd, "Please give way, the head of my family is here!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately gave her a way out.

As soon as Lin Mengya arrived at the door of the house, she heard several extremely suppressed cries coming from inside.

She hesitated for a moment, but walked in anyway.

The main room was very bright and she could see clearly.

The man's tall back looked hunched and lonely at the moment. He was sitting on the ground with his back to him, holding his wife's body in his arms.

Lin Mengya felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She walked over and squatted in front of them, only to see that Ji Fangcun's eyes had lost their luster.

"Jifangcun, you still have children!" she reminded in a low voice.

I saw the other person's dull eyes, and now I finally had some work.

Still looking at her blankly, people couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Child, little baby!"

Lin Mengya nodded and grabbed his shoulders hard.

"Yes, Xiaobao! Now that Li Man is gone, you are Xiaobao's only support, and he is also Li Man's remaining bloodline. You must take good care of Xiaobao so that Li Man can feel at ease!"

Although others had tried to persuade her to say this, for some reason, Ji Fangcun only reacted when she said it.

He kept staring at Lin Mengya with good eyes.
