Su Qiao was fairly satisfied with Su Yichen's change.
After preparing the tooth powder and putting it into small porcelain bottles one by one, she finished packing everything up. Just as she was about to set off with the old man and her second brother, Yuan Liu arrived at the Su family home with Su Yichen.
Though it had only been one short night, Su Yichen's eyes held a few more traces of determination. His back was straighter, and he seemed much steadier as well.
When he spoke of the heart-stopping events of the previous night, his expression was calm and his words clear and orderly, as though he were not the one who had experienced those things.
The old man was not surprised by his change.
After all, there had already been Su Qiao.
It was perfectly normal for a person to change after experiencing great joy and sorrow, along with various other events.
After seeing Su Yichen change this time, everyone became even more convinced that Su Qiao had changed so drastically because she had suffered some kind of shock.
After exchanging pleasantries and thanks, Yuan Liu left.
Because of what his grandson had gone through that night, the old man was no longer in the mood to go to town. In the end, only Su Qiao, Su Yihe, and Ernie went to town.
That day, Su Qiao and the others had gone there full of anticipation, but returned dejected.
They arrived back at Willow Tree Village around noon.
"What happened?"
The family members were all surprised when they saw the expressions on the three of them.
