As they drove, Madam Tang's eyes kept darting towards Li Chen, a mix of emotions playing across her face. When the first glimpses of the village came into view, nestled among the mist-shrouded peaks, she let out a long, heavy sigh.

Madam Tang's gaze remained fixed on the approaching village, her eyes distant with memories. "It's been years since I came back here, you know," she said softly. "Ever since I got married, I never looked back."
Li Chen's brow furrowed deeper. "May I ask why?" he inquired, sensing a weight behind her words.
