Grandma Fang suddenly stood up, her joy evident as she said, "Ah Yu has come?"
"Yes," the child replied, "She arrived with two carriages, and there are quite a few people."
Grandma Fang was taken aback, and the old village chief exchanged a glance with his wife. The county Princess had always come quietly with only her maid, so why the sudden grand entrance? Could something have happened with the people in the two carriages?
Although puzzled, Grandma Fang immediately got up and went to wait at the door.
She expected Shu Yu to arrive soon, but she ended up waiting for a while before the carriages appeared.
Grandma Fang hurriedly descended the steps and greeted, "Ah Yu has come, but why...?"
Before she could finish her sentence, several young boys jumped off the first carriage.
Grandma Fang blinked in confusion.
Shu Yu, who was in the second carriage, helped the eager old lady down from the carriage.
Once Grandma Lu stood firm, she looked towards the front of the house. After a brief moment, her gaze froze, and it landed on Grandma Fang.
Grandma Lu's body stiffened instantly, she tightly held Shu Yu's hand, her expression a mix of disbelief and anticipation as she looked at Grandma Fang.
Grandma Fang also saw her, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly. She was uncertain but couldn't resist taking a few steps forward.
"You..."
"You..."
Both of them were slightly excited, almost speaking at the same time. They hadn't seen each other in over thirty years, and they could only find traces of familiarity on each other's faces. Yet, they hesitated to jump to conclusions.
Supporting the old lady, Shu Yu walked a few steps forward. "Grandma, this is Grand Aunt."
She looked at Grandma Fang again. "Grand Aunt, my grandmother received the letter I sent back. She couldn't wait to see you and rushed here in a hurry. They just arrived in Chenggu County yesterday."
The villagers watching were all astonished. They couldn't believe it – she set out before the new year and only arrived yesterday, which means they spent the New Year on the road?
Grandma Fang was even more stunned, her lips trembled slightly. She looked at Grandma Lu, her eyes reddening instantly, and in a blink of an eye, tears welled up.
Taking a decisive step forward, she grabbed the old lady's hand and choked up, her voice hoarse, "...Sister?"
Grandma Lu made a sobbing sound and directly embraced her, tears streaming down her face as she patted Grandma Fang's back. "You foolish girl, I've finally found you... How naive are you? You've suffered so much, not at all like me. You must have been worried sick about me..."
"Sister!" Grandma Fang couldn't control her emotions any longer. She tightly embraced her dearest relative. Years of suppressed grievances poured out in front of Grandma Fang, and she broke down into heavy sobs.
The two sisters were completely engrossed, unable to care about anyone else, letting their emotions surge forth uncontrollably.
The surrounding onlookers, who had been joyous a moment ago, were now affected by their emotions. One by one, they wiped away their tears.
Grandma Feng, supporting the old village chief's hand, spoke with red eyes, "Sister Fang has been strong all these years. Even when she was young and suffered so much, I never saw her cry. Now that she's met her real sister, she's like a young girl who finally has someone to rely on, releasing all her pent-up emotions."
"Crying is good. Who would've thought her sister would come all this way to pick her up?"
"Yes, their bond must have been strong when they were young."
