A few days before the Lunar New Year, He Yun and Liu Jian Country suddenly returned.
Xue Yue was at home making some holiday treats when she heard Ruanruan come running back.
"Mom, Mom, you have to go see Big Sister Daya! Her parents want to take her back. Big Sister Daya doesn't want to go. She's even crying!"
Xue Yue froze for a moment, dropped what she was doing, and hurried over to the old family house.
When she got there, she saw He Yun dragging Daya toward the door.
With her face streaked with tears, Daya pulled back reluctantly. "I'm not going back."
"So you're rebelling now, are you? You think just because you've been away for a year, we can't control you anymore?"
"What do you think you're doing?"
At Xue Yue's shout, Daya broke free from He Yun's grasp and ran to her. "Auntie, I don't want to go back. Please let me stay."
Xue Yue wiped the tears from Daya's face.
Then she looked at He Yun. Liu Jian Country stood silently to one side.
