Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

When Gan Yuwan heard that her father was ill, and very ill at that, half of the color drained from her face.

She quickly jumped off the oxcart and went into the house. She grabbed a bundle, stuffed some things inside, and then grabbed a few pieces of leftover pastries from the morning and stuffed them into the bundle as well.

Yun Huaikang wanted to go with them, but he couldn't leave Zhen Linqing, who had difficulty walking, at home alone.

After a final discussion, they decided that Yun Huaikang and Yun Pianpian would stay behind to look after things, while Gan Yuwan would take Yun Shuangshuang, Yun Qiaoqiao, and Yun Shengsheng and leave first. If anything happened to the old man, they could come back and call for help.

Gan Luxuo arrived in an oxcart. Gan Yuwan and the others got on the cart, and the oxcart swayed and started its journey.

She didn't have time for lunch, so she divided the few pieces of pastry in her bundle among herself, each taking a bite or two to fill their stomachs. Yun Shengsheng held a piece of sponge cake and ate it slowly, unusually quiet.

Ganjiacun and Yunlincun are 20 li apart, and it took an hour for an oxcart to travel that distance.

Upon arriving at her doorstep, Gan Yuwan jumped out of the car and ran into the yard, forgetting to take her bundle.

Yun Shuangshuang quickly grabbed her bundle, Yun Qiaoqiao picked up Yun Shengsheng, and the three little ones followed behind, jogging all the way.

Upon entering the old man's room, Gan Yuwan immediately saw her mother, Zhou, sitting by the bed, secretly wiping away tears with her sleeve.

On the bed, her father, Gan Fushun, lay quietly with his eyes tightly closed.

Gan Yuwan's eyes immediately reddened.

"Father—" She walked to the bedside, but her voice broke into a sob after only two words, "Father, wake up."

Her eldest brother, Gan Dacai, stood at the head of the bed; her second brother, Gan Ercai, leaned against the door frame; and her youngest brother, Gan Sancai, squatted in the corner.

The wives of the three families stood to the side, their eyes red-rimmed. The other children were at the door, their faces filled with sorrow.

The elderly couple were kind and honest people throughout their lives, and they treated their son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter equally.

Gan Yuwan is a girl, but she has always been treated the same as her three older brothers, never lacking anything in terms of food or clothing.

So if the old man really passes away, everyone in this room will be heartbroken.

Yun Shuangshuang and Yun Qiaoqiao's eyes also reddened.

Yun Shengsheng was held by Yun Qiaoqiao. She looked at the old man on the bed, then at the adults in the room with red, tear-filled eyes, and clenched her little hands.

A scene suddenly flashed into her mind: the old man holding her, telling her stories, weaving grasshoppers...

The old man was always smiling, his beard twitching.

Yun Shengsheng's tears fell with a "plop".

She reached out and grabbed her grandfather's withered thumb.

The room was filled with weeping for a while before Gan Yuwan wiped away her tears and asked her older brother, "Did you see a doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Gan Dacai sighed, "The doctor said it all depends on tonight. If I can open my eyes, I'll make it through. If I can't—" He couldn't finish his sentence, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he turned his head away.

Hao Mei patted her husband and said to Gan Yuwan, "You two have been traveling all day, haven't you eaten yet? Take the kids out for a bite to eat."

Gan Yuwan shook her head and said she wasn't hungry.

Hao Mei sighed, "You're not hungry, but the child is."

Gan Yuwan looked at her three daughters, just as Yun Shengsheng's stomach rumbled.

She covered her stomach in embarrassment, her little face scrunched up, and Gan Yuwan patted her head and had no choice but to take them out.

Second sister-in-law Yang Hui placed several steamed buns, a dish of pickled vegetables, a plate of stir-fried greens, and several boiled eggs on the table in the small kitchen.

"You guys have something to eat first."

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Gan Yuwan could only eat two bites of steamed bun before she couldn't eat anymore, and tears streamed down her face as they fell into her bowl.

Yun Shuangshuang and Yun Qiaoqiao couldn't eat it either after seeing it.

Yun Shengsheng was really hungry, but when she looked at her mother, her sisters, and thought of her grandfather lying in the room, she lost her appetite.

Many villagers gradually arrived at the courtyard.

Gan Fushun was very popular in the village. He helped this family build a house, helped that family harvest wheat, and lent a hand to anyone who had a problem.

Now that we've heard he's not doing well, half the village has come. There's not enough room in the courtyard, so everyone's crowding outside the courtyard wall.

Fearing the children might cause trouble inside, Gan Yuwan had Yun Shuangshuang and Yun Qiaoqiao take Yun Shengsheng to sit at the courtyard gate, repeatedly reminding them, "Don't eat anything given to you by strangers, understand?"

Yun Shuangshuang patted her chest and assured her, "Mother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them."

The three little ones sat in a row on the stone bench at the entrance of the courtyard.

In the evening, an old woman sat down next to Yun Shengsheng, her steps unsteady.

Her hair was gray, she wore a patched-up shirt, and held a white steamed bun in her hand, something she had never been able to afford before.

Yun Shengsheng swallowed hard.

She hadn't eaten enough earlier, and now that she saw the steamed buns right in front of her, her stomach growled loudly.

The old lady looked down, saw her, and smiled.

The little child was fair-skinned and clean, with round eyes staring intently at the snack in her hand, her greedy expression written all over her face.

Without saying a word, she broke off half a steamed bun and stuffed it into Yun Shengsheng's hand.

"You must be Gan's little girl, right? Eat up, eat up, look how hungry you are." The old lady smiled and patted her head.

Yun Shengsheng froze.

My mind exploded with a "boom".

Wait, wait, wait! Is this the plot where I get poisoned after stealing food from the old lady?!

The steamed bun I'm holding right now contains rat poison!

Wow, if I were a 3-year-old, I would definitely eat this!

She swallowed hard, staring at the half-eaten steamed bun in her hand; her fingers were already cold.

The old lady smiled and put the remaining half into her mouth.

Yun Shengsheng was terrified. She slapped the old lady, knocking the steamed bun out of her hand. The bun rolled three times on the ground, getting covered in dirt.

The old lady was stunned.

She looked down at the steamed buns on the ground, then at Yun Shengsheng, her face showing a mixture of heartache and disapproval.

"Child, what are you doing? Wasting food is not good."

She picked up the steamed bun and carefully patted off the dirt.

"My daughter-in-law brought this for me, and I've been reluctant to eat it."

She sighed and looked at the Gan family's courtyard: "I'm getting old, and every meal I eat is one less I can have, so I'm eating this today. Sigh—"

After saying that, she put the cleaned steamed bun back into her mouth.

Yun Shengsheng was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat, and blurted out, "No...no...it can't be!"

【Don't eat it! It's poisonous!】

She was extremely anxious.

The old lady misunderstood and pointed to the half-eaten pastry in Yun Shengsheng's hand.

"Didn't I already give you half a piece? You still want the rest? No way."

Yun Shuangshuang and Yun Qiaoqiao were watching a few children playing in the mud not far away, and the surroundings were quite noisy. When they realized what was happening and turned around, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

Xiao Wu was holding half a strange steamed bun in his hand!

The two men struck at the same time, each slapping Yun Shengsheng and knocking the steamed bun from her hand.

The steamed bun rolled onto the ground, getting covered in dirt.

Yun Shuangshuang put on a stern face: "Little Wu has been naughty. Mother said you can't eat other people's food."

Yun Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Mother said it many times before she passed away!"

Yun Shengsheng's lips twitched.

I didn't want to eat it! This old lady insisted on having it! I couldn't stop her...
