——————

Liu Guilan calmed her emotions before slowly revealing her purpose:

"Shanni, my great-niece, I won’t go on about my gratitude. Those are just empty words. Truth be told, I’m just a miserable old lady whose only remaining blood relative in this world is your Sister Chen. You nobly saved her and her child’s life, which is tantamount to saving mine. You are my root now!"

As she said this, even the usually silent Feng Chunling couldn’t help but feel deeply moved, her eyes reddening. She comforted her mother-in-law by gently patting her back, feeling a wave of bitterness in her heart.

"Liu Auntie..." Zhang Shanni saw the pain on her face as she recalled past events, as well as Feng Chunling’s similarly troubled expression, and hurriedly tried to interrupt what she was about to say next.

However, Liu Guilan shook her head to indicate it was fine and, with Zhang Shanni’s interruption, managed to gather herself somewhat before continuing:

"I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish to forge a good bond with you. My daughter and grandson’s current fortunes are all thanks to your blessing. I’d like to recognize you as my goddaughter. Do you think I’m worthy of you?"

"What!" Zhang Shanni stared with shocked eyes. This old lady sure knew how to speak! She said, "Do you think I’m worthy of you?"

Damn it, anyone with clear eyes knows that aside from her husband Xie Jingchen, she, Zhang Shanni, is just a rootless duckweed!

Moreover, when these esteemed guests arrived, they all made their backgrounds clear. If it were ten years ago, these people might have been shunned and scorned, but now seven or eight years have passed, followed by economic development that will elevate the national living standards to new heights.

Now, the father and son of the Li Family, one a grain station director and the other a supply and marketing cooperative head, appear quite well-off. Even the lifestyle of this old lady seems far from simple – judging by her clothing and accessories, her living conditions are even better than those of the Li father and son!

Zhang Shanni shook her head, not because she wasn’t willing, but because she had to show such a gesture. Only when others earnestly request something is it truly out of gratitude and kinship. If she agreed immediately, then her status wouldn’t be valued. Therefore, before anyone else could speak, she seriously said:

"Aunt Liu, when I saved Sister Chen, it was out of my own willingness, just as Brother Li said, one should be sincere and can’t simply climb your family’s ranks because of this. If I did, I would be criticized behind my back!"

"Who would dare!" These words were said in unison by both the father and son of the Li family and Aunt Liu and her daughter-in-law.

Clearly, agreeing to make Zhang Shanni a goddaughter was something they had already discussed.

This was also a consideration for Liu Guilan. Without knowledge of the Xie Family’s situation, she would not have made such a decision, or it might not have been as resolute as it is now.

We must talk about Liu Guilan’s husband’s family, the Chen family.
