The next morning, when Jiang Linwan woke up, Lu Qiyue had already prepared breakfast. It was seafood porridge, which he had learned from the local fishermen, along with a stir-fried shrimp dish. The taste was alright, but the color wasn't very appealing.

"You're awake. Go wash up and eat. I'll take you to see your grandfather later," Lu Qiyue said, looking up.

Jiang Linwan, who was stretching, stiffened, suppressing her excitement, and looked at him in surprise: "Is it okay? Will it have any effect on you?"

"Let's be careful. The village secretary over there is a friend of mine. If we go and come back quickly, we'll be fine."

Jiang Linwan forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, which was filled with overwhelming emotion.

She knew that military discipline was strict and that having private meetings with relatives and friends who had been sent down to the countryside was a major taboo. If she was not careful, his hard-earned future would be jeopardized.

In his previous life, Lu Chengyu was afraid of being implicated by her family, so he secretly severed ties with them in her name.

Despite being cautious and restrained, Brother Qiyue was willing to risk punishment to introduce her to his elders for her sake.

At this moment, Jiang Linwan could no longer hold back, and tears welled up unexpectedly, silently streaming down her cheeks.

Lu Qiyue noticed that something was wrong with her. When he looked up, he saw that her face was covered in tears. He walked over and gently patted her back with his large hand, his voice very soft: "Don't cry. It's just a short meeting. Nothing will happen."

Jiang Linwan buried herself beside him, tears soaking a small piece of cloth. An unprecedented surge of emotion welled up in her heart; it seemed that she had someone to protect her again.

"Thank you, Brother Qiyue."

After finishing their breakfast, the two didn't dare to take too much. Each of them carried a bag and followed the rocky path behind the mountain to the private dock.

After landing, Lu Qiyue took her straight to the village secretary's house. As soon as they entered, the village secretary saw him and his eyes were full of respect and gratitude.

Lu Qiyue lowered his voice and first mentioned purchasing medicine, then asked to see his relatives who had been sent down to the countryside. The village secretary looked surprised.

He promised not to linger or cause any trouble.

The village secretary smiled and said, "Compared to the kindness you showed us back then, these are all small matters. I'll arrange it right now."

Soon, the loudspeaker announced the news of purchasing medicinal herbs, and almost all the villagers of Shipan Village gathered at the village meeting place at the same time.

The village secretary had his son take Lu Qiyue and Lu Qiyue to the house where the Jiang family had been sent down. When they arrived, only Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Linwan's three-year-old daughter were in the house.

The rest of the crew have already gone out to sea on their missions.

Jiang Linwan looked at the old man sitting against the wall in the room, her heart suddenly clenched, and a sour feeling instantly filled her throat. The tears she had just been holding back welled up again.

My grandfather, who used to be full of energy and had a straight back, is now a completely different person.

His hair was completely white, sticking messily to his thin forehead. His face was deeply lined with wrinkles, tanned and peeling. Deep wrinkles covered the corners of his eyes, and his once bright eyes were now cloudy and lifeless.

The little child behind him, who should be at the age of growing up and being lively, was so thin that he was emaciated.

Her small shoulders were thin and bony, her short jacket hung loosely on her body, her arms were as thin as reeds, and her wrists had a clearly visible ring of bones.

"Grandpa! Xiuqing." Jiang Linwan's voice choked with sobs as she ran to her grandfather's arms.

"Wanwan, what brings you here?" When Grandpa Jiang saw her, his cloudy eyes lit up with surprise, and his lips trembled for a long time before he called out her nickname in a shaky voice.

Then, seeing the man behind her, her eyes were filled with panic: "Go back right now, I don't know you."

"Grandpa, it's alright, we're all family." Lu Qiyue stepped forward, while Shi Dagang silently closed the door and stood guard outside.

"You're Qi Yue? Why are you calling me grandpa? This messes up the generations."

Jiang Linwan chuckled and took his hand, solemnly introducing him: "Grandpa, I'm married to him, so of course I have to call him Grandpa."

Regardless of her grandfather's change in demeanor, she put down what she was holding on the table and took the things from Lu Qiyue's hands: "You chat with Grandpa for a while, I'll keep Xiuqing company."

While the two weren't paying attention, Jiang Linwan took everything from her bag into the house and secretly took out some things from her spatial storage and put them together.

Seeing the girl who used to always cling to her now looking at her timidly, Jiang Linwan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness: "Where are your cousins?"

"They've gone out to sea."

"They all went?" Jiang Linwan was somewhat shocked. Her youngest nephew was only eight years old, a crucial age for growth. How could he have gone out to sea?

Jiang Xiuqing didn't say anything, just stared longingly at the food on the table.

Jiang Linwan felt even more sorry for her when she saw her like this. She picked up a piece of bread and handed it to the little girl, and then made her a bowl of malted milk powder.

Watching the little girl eat peacefully, Jiang Linwan looked at the thin bedding on the bed and secretly took out two more beddings from her spatial storage and stuffed them into the closet.

Having done all this, she pretended to leave the house, and both of them looked at her at the same time.

Lu Qiyue: "You chat with Grandpa for a while, I'll keep watch outside."

"I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble, Wanwan." Grandpa Jiang had already learned the whole story from Lu Qiyue, and he looked at her with heartache.

"I'm not wronged. Brother Qiyue is very good to me. He's the only person who's been very good to me besides my grandparents, father, and mother." Jiang Linwan said, her eyes filled with happiness that even she couldn't see.

Grandpa Jiang smiled with satisfaction as he looked at this.

Soon there was a knock at the door. Jiang Linwan dared not linger any longer and took out several bottles of pills, handing them to her grandfather: "These are some new medicines I have recently developed. See if your granddaughter's medical skills have improved recently."

I'll come see you again in a while.

After she finished speaking, she quickly left the yard, and Grandpa Jiang's previously empty eyes were filled with expectation.

He opened the pills his granddaughter had given him, and the pungent aroma of the medicine made his pupils dilate slightly. In particular, the newly added herbs inside were like wings, making the medicine even more potent.

This girl really surprises him every time.

Back in the family compound, Jiang Linwan was in a great mood. With Lu Qiyue's people looking after her, she could also help her family from time to time.

Grandpa and Mom and Dad will definitely live to see their names cleared.

"Thank you, Brother Qiyue! I'll cook you a big meal tonight." Jiang Linwan was filled with gratitude towards him. After putting down the seafood she bought, she pulled Lu Qiyue's arm and went into the house.

"Sit down, let me take your pulse." Jiang Linwan said and sat down opposite him.

She lightly touched the pulse with her fingertips, carefully taking the pulse for a long time, her mind filled with even more doubts.

The superficial kidney meridians are full and strong, and the yang energy is vigorous. There is no sign of weakness or deficiency. On the contrary, it is even stronger than that of an ordinary man.

"That shouldn't be the case. Brother Qiyue is clearly impotent," Jiang Linwan frowned. Lu Qiyue had already accepted the fact that he could not have children and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'll do my best."

Jiang Linwan lowered her fingertips, probing deep into the meridians of her lower abdomen. After a moment, she finally felt the stagnant and obstructed pulse, indicating a deep-seated cold and blockage, hindering the flow of qi in the meridians...

Her eyes lit up instantly: "Brother Qiyue, trust me, as long as you take good care of yourself, you'll definitely get better."
