Huo Jiayuan locked herself in the room for a day and night before finally coming to a realization. This was good; she didn’t have to struggle with difficult choices anymore.
She got up, tidied herself, and then went downstairs.
Jiang Jingya had taken leave from work to stay home with her daughter because she was worried that Jiayuan might do something rash.
Seeing her daughter come down from upstairs, she said, "Jiayuan, you?"
Huo Jiayuan said softly, "Mom, have Aunt Zhang cook me a bowl of noodles. I’m hungry."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingya exclaimed excitedly, "Oh, oh, that’s good, that’s good. Being hungry is a good sign."
Then she turned her head towards the kitchen and shouted, "Sister Zhang, hurry, cook a bowl of noodles for Jiayuan. You made beef sauce yesterday, just use that."
Aunt Zhang heard Madam’s words and replied, "Okay, I’ll boil the water and cook it now."
Seeing Miss Jiayuan coming down, she couldn’t help but wipe the corner of her eye with her sleeve. She had been with this family for six years and had watched Jiayuan grow up; she was really worried, just like she would be for her own child.
The noodles were served quickly. After Huo Jiayuan thanked her, she started eating slowly.
Finishing a bowl of noodles, Huo Jiayuan felt like she was finally alive again.
She had another small bowl of broth that Aunt Zhang brought over. Then she turned to her mother and said, "Mom, I want to go visit Fourth Brother, and see Sister-in-law too."
Although Jiang Jingya was a bit worried, she thought it might be good for her daughter to get out for a change of scenery. "I’ll ask your dad to find someone to take you there."
