> Will Love in Spring Recap

Grandma Lin looked back on her life and came to a deeper understanding of death. The first time she realized that people die was at her father's funeral. Her father had nine siblings and over forty children, so relatives came in an endless stream to pay their respects.

After she finished offering incense to her father and looked at the many similar faces around her, she suddenly understood: people strive to reproduce, and even if they end up scattered across the world, blood ties are the bond that brings them back together. Life will eventually come to an end, but it will also be passed on in new ways.

When Chen Maidong arrived at the hospital, Grandma Lin’s vital signs were still relatively stable, but the doctor warned him to be mentally prepared. Outside the operating room, Ci Wei’s mother was in critical condition, and Ci Wei was extremely agitated, terrified that she would leave him just like his father did. In the eyes of outsiders, Ci Wei was a reformed troublemaker, aggressive and arrogant, rarely showing such vulnerability.

Seeing this, Chen Maidong couldn’t help but feel compassion and comforted Ci Wei, telling him to cherish life—living well is the best way to honor one’s parents. At that time, the Liao family was discussing Grandma Lin’s condition. Lately, Chen Maidong had been rushing back and forth, juggling his work at the funeral home while also taking care of Grandma Lin at the hospital.

A good friend had gone to deliver goods to Grandma Shen in Jincun, and to their surprise, Grandma Chen was there too. She had heard that Grandma Shen’s relative was nearing the end, so she wanted to observe the final moments of someone passing. Zhuang Jie hadn’t contacted Chen Maidong for days and finally couldn’t resist making a video call to express how much she missed him.

Considering Grandma Lin’s grim condition, Zhuang Jie tentatively asked if they should start preparing for the worst. She reminded Chen Maidong that Grandma Lin was already very old and not suitable for further resuscitation—otherwise, the process would be very painful. Chen Maidong stayed at the hospital to accompany Grandma Lin, saying things that would make her happy, which brought her great comfort. She had never imagined that there would be a loved one by her side at the end.

However, when Chen Maidong returned from fetching water, he found the hospital room filled with doctors and nurses—and the next moment came the news that Grandma Lin was about to be declared brain-dead. Between trying to resuscitate and letting go, Chen Maidong remembered Zhuang Jie’s words and ultimately made the same choice she would have: to let Grandma Lin leave this world with dignity. In the end, Grandma Lin did not make it through the spring.

Grandma Chen was devastated by the news, overcome with grief, and Zhuang Jie was moved to tears at the sight. Before this, Grandma Lin had written a letter to Grandma Chen, instructing her to open it only after she was gone. At the beginning of the letter, Grandma Lin entrusted someone to take care of her old cat, hoping it would have a peaceful ending.

As for herself, she understood that she had few close family ties and would not have the joy of being surrounded by children and grandchildren. But because this path was one she had chosen, she had no regrets and hoped Grandma Chen wouldn’t feel sorrow on her behalf. The reason she wrote the letter was entirely because she couldn’t stop worrying about her dear friend.

She knew that with Grandma Chen’s personality, it would take a long time to accept things. But life and death are part of the natural order, and she believed Grandma Chen could get through this difficult time. She sincerely hoped Grandma Chen would one day say to her: “Sister Lin, you lived one hell of a life. ”At the end of the letter, Grandma Lin told Grandma Chen that women are the strongest beings.

The survival of every family depends on the resilience of women. In this world, she was not the only one in pain—everyone has their own suffering. Therefore, no one suffers alone. Not long after, Grandma Chen returned to the small house in Qingshui Town with Grandma Lin’s ashes. Ci Wei’s mother’s surgery was a success, lifting a heavy burden from his heart. Zhuang Yan’s goose, Ji San Ezi, had mingled into an old man’s flock and eventually left him.

Liao Tao comforted the children with stories from her own life, helping them understand the meaning of being human. Zhuang Jie was also about to return to Shanghai, and Zhuang Yan worried about how she and Chen Maidong would continue their relationship. Zhuang Jie said she wasn’t going back for money, but to do something meaningful.
