Gu Ling doesn't quite understand the local language, only occasionally grasping the meaning of a few sentences. Yang Shan used to be unable to understand it too, but now she can roughly understand and even speak a few sentences.

So when the boatman talked to her, it went relatively smoothly.

"Teacher Wu! When you just came to our side, I told you that when you were at sea, we happened to be fishing. I seemed to have seen someone pushing you! So you fell into the sea, but later your boat flipped, and you drifted from the sea to the shore. I don't know how the other two are! Your daughter really looks a lot like you when you were young!"

That day, when Gu Ling was on his boat, he felt that this girl really looked like Teacher Wu!

Yang Shan smiled, "Yes, she does look like me when I was young. I know what you said back then, but now I can't remember the past, so I can't verify it."

When she recovers her memory, she is definitely going to investigate this matter."

"Over a decade has passed, and she wants to know exactly how many people were on the boat initially, how many died, and who survived. The crucial part is that she, in her current state, cannot recall the past events. Even if she tries to investigate, it's not feasible.

Gu Ling also understood a few words and phrases. As soon as the boatman left, she immediately grabbed Yang Shan's hand and said, "Mom! Someone pushed you into the sea back then?"

Yang Shan nodded gently, "Yes, that uncle just now said so. He saw it, but I can't remember anything. It's been so many years, even if you investigate, you won't find anything. It might even affect you."

Moreover, now that Gu Ling is here as a young educated youth, how can she go back?

She only hopes that one day she can regain her memory and investigate on her own. Even though she can't remember Gu Ling now, she likes the girl in front of her and doesn't want to add worries to Gu Ling.

Gu Ling felt a twinge in her heart, knowing that investigating the past is not easy. She can probably guess that these things are definitely related to Sun Xiulan!"

But she couldn't tell Yang Shan about Gu Changjian marrying his first love. That would be an even greater shock, potentially triggering more intense headaches for Yang Shan!

 In her mind, Gu Ling planned to let Aunt Chen Xuefeng know about this matter and then discreetly investigate to see if there are any clues. However, she absolutely couldn't alert the enemy, or else if Sun Xiulan completely destroyed the evidence and witnesses from the past, what would they do?

Most importantly, she had to take care of her mom first. Finding her mom alive was more important than revenge.

Gu Ling cherished every moment spent with Yang Shan. She cooked for her mom, helped with laundry and bedding, organized the house and the yard, tending to Yang Shan happily.

"People say that a daughter is a mom's little padded jacket. I didn't understand this saying before, but now I know. Having a daughter is truly a blessing."

Yang Shan leaned back in the recliner, and Gu Ling sat beside her, holding her hand. Both of them had smiles on their faces. 

Outside in the courtyard, footsteps approached, and Gu Ling quickly got up to see who had arrived.

As the door opened, she was surprised to find that it was Lu Yanchen outside! 

Standing next to Lu Yanchen was a refined man who appeared to be around forty.

Gu Ling felt both surprise and astonishment in her heart. Why would Lu Yanchen be here? 

The man had a slight sweat on his forehead and introduced himself to Gu Ling and Yang Shan, "Aunt Yang, Gu Ling, this is my uncle. He's a renowned neurologist in the capital. I invited him to help Aunt Yang examine her specific symptoms. Perhaps there is hope for her to recover her health."
