The old man followed Zhao Chunxiang's carriage all the way to the Li Family courtyard. He marked the courtyard gate, then knocked on the door to ask for water.
Upon seeing an old man in shabby clothes asking for water, Zhao Chunxiang didn't think much of it. At that moment, she was wondering if Goudan's mother would come to their house with a hefty gift, inviting Yanyan to their home that evening to preside over matters.
So, she casually scooped up a ladle of water and handed it to him.
The old man took the ladle, sipped the water, and watched Yanyan playing in the courtyard.
"Fate brings people together. As the saying goes, the favor of a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring. This red string has been blessed by a master and will bring good fortune. Give it to your child to play with!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunxiang looked up, and her gaze fell upon the silver beads on the red string the old man held!
