As she was speaking, it finally dawned on Ms. Chen.
She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes instantly turning red.
"Zhi'Er, you're finally well..."
The next moment, Ms. Chen threw her arms around Fang Yue, sobbing as she lightly pounded on his shoulder a few times.
"Mom, I'm okay now."
Fang Yue gently patted Ms. Chen's back. This was the profound bond of family, thicker than water.
~~~~~~
The news of Fang Yue's recovery spread quickly through the Fang Family. In an instant, the dark cloud that had been hanging over them was swept away.
They didn't go so far as to hang lanterns and banners, but they did set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Ms. Chen even had Fang Yue step over a brazier to ward off bad luck and lingering illness.
By noon, Ms. Chen and Fang Cheng's wife, the mother- and daughter-in-law duo, had worked together to prepare a grand, sumptuous feast.
During the meal.
"Here, Zhi, eat."
