Shu Ying immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her face full of gratitude, and thanked him repeatedly.
Jung Soo-young smiled and waved her hand.
"No need to be so polite. My dad has long considered you all family. It's only natural for family members to help each other."
Even so, Shu Ying was still very grateful.
Now that so many people are willing to help, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I hope to find my mother soon.
Meanwhile, a gloomy rain fell in the mountains thousands of miles away.
The damp air and cold environment made Yang Wan's wounds even more painful and itchy.
With the slightest movement, some wounds began to ooze pus.
Grandma Yao took a closer look and became extremely anxious.
She couldn't speak, so she could only anxiously gesture.
After spending so many days together, Yang Wan had come to understand some of it.
"Are you saying that my wound is serious, so you want me to wait here while you go up the mountain to gather herbs for me?"
Grandma Yao nodded quickly, and before Yang Wan could answer, she covered her with a blanket, then grabbed the basket and ran out.
After the incident where a bachelor climbed over the wall, Grandma Yao was still worried about Yang Wan being home alone. Before going out, she asked her neighbors to keep an eye on her before she felt at ease heading up the mountain.
The old woman, carrying a hoe, searched the mountain with great effort, digging up many medicinal herbs. She then carried them all in a basket and ran to the village doctor to have him examine them.
The old woman gestured earnestly, and the village doctor, though unable to understand much, could roughly guess that the medicine was for Yang Wan. He sighed, shook his head, and tried his best to patiently explain to the old woman.
"Yang Wan's condition is beyond my ability to treat. My medical skills are insufficient. If you want her to recover, you will need to find someone more skilled."
"These medicines alone won't be enough."
"If you want her to fully recover, it's best to send her to a hospital in the provincial capital. She might need surgery then... No, no, no, I can't operate. I'm just a village doctor. At most, I can treat minor ailments like headaches and fevers. I can't handle anything more serious."
After an explanation, the old lady finally understood. Feeling somewhat disappointed and sad, she picked up the basket again and walked home with heavy steps.
Looking at Yang Wan, who was still lying on the haystack covered in wounds, the old lady felt ashamed.
She put down the basket, waved her hand, gestured for a while, then pointed to her pocket and waved her hand again in disappointment.
Yang Wan roughly understood.
"You mean my illness is too serious, these medications can't cure me, I need to go to the hospital, but you don't have the money to help me, and you feel very disappointed, right?"
Grandma Yao sighed and nodded.
She was truly helpless. Her family was extremely poor, and they often struggled to even eat. Not to mention, her husband was still sick and bedridden, and they still didn't have the money for treatment.
As she thought about it, the old lady couldn't help but shed tears.
Having stayed in this house for so many days, Yang Wan could understand the old lady's difficulties.
She struggled to sit up, reached out and patted the old woman's hand, trying to give her a kind smile.
"It's okay, it's not your fault. I'm already very grateful that you saved me."
"The rest is all about fate..."
Before Yang Wan's words could fade away, the village loudspeaker suddenly crackled to life.
After a piercing crackling sound of electricity, the village chief's voice appeared.
"This is the broadcast time. Please listen to the broadcast."
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a broadcast came on.
The radio news anchor first announced the date and weather in a strong and clear voice, and then began to explain the policies one by one.
Hearing this, Yang Wan felt much calmer.
In that instant, she felt as if she were still in the most familiar place, living as she had before, amidst the chaos of war, yet with a sense of peace and steadfastness.
I wonder if she'll ever have the chance to return to that familiar place and live that kind of life with the familiar people again...
Yang Wan gazed aimlessly at the gray sky outside the door, feeling that the idea was extremely distant.
However, the policy announcement stopped abruptly the next second, and the host's voice rang out again.
"The following is an urgent missing persons notice, submitted by the Missing Persons Foundation. Please listen carefully!"
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the person in charge of the family-finding foundation rang out, and began to read out the names of the people they were helping to find their lost relatives.
"Liu Yulan, Sun Minghao, Xu Lanju..."
In groups of three, after each group of three names was read out, the head of the family-finding foundation would say emotionally—
"The three of you, your families are waiting for you at home, eagerly hoping that you can return home as soon as possible and reunite with your loved ones."
After saying that, he repeated the names of the three people above before starting to read the names below.
Yang Wan listened quietly, sighed softly, and felt gratified for those whose names were called.
How wonderful that their families are still relentlessly searching for them.
And her family...
I don't know how my husband and daughter are doing.
If I could hear my name on the radio, that would be some comfort... at least it would mean that one of my husband and daughter is safe and sound.
As soon as the idea popped into her head, Yang Wan smiled and shook her head.
She's too naive; it's just wishful thinking. How could that be possible?
Her identity is sensitive, and she is usually very careful when using her real name, let alone openly proclaiming it on a radio broadcast like this.
Oh well, let's just treat it as a sweet dream, laugh it off and move on.
She doesn't know if she'll ever have the chance to see her family again in her lifetime...
Just then, a familiar name came over the loudspeaker.
"Lanyin".
Yang Wan was startled, thinking she had misheard. She quickly leaned forward and frowned in disbelief as she listened carefully.
After the last two names were read out on the radio, the names were read out again as usual.
"Lan Yin, Wu Jiangyan, Liu Meijun..."
After reading it, he added another sentence.
"Because this Comrade Lan Yin's name is unusual, to avoid any mistakes, we would like to explain that the two characters 'Lan Yin' are the same as the 'Lan Yin' in 'Lan Yin Xu Guo'. This Comrade Lan Yin is from Shanghai. Please contact our radio station as soon as you hear this broadcast. Your family is waiting for you."
This seemingly ordinary explanation actually involved repeating the name "Lanyin" several times during the conversation.
After the entire segment on finding missing relatives was finished, the host inexplicably recited a poem.
Now Yang Wan was certain that she hadn't misheard; the person the radio was looking for was indeed her.
That poem is the one written by Shu Wenyuan, the one that contains her and her daughter's names!
