Baby Zetty was truly stumped when it came to the inscription on the tombstone. She was a young girl and did not know anything about this. In addition, due to Boye's identity, she could not straightforwardly engrave Mister's name on it. Otherwise, a busybody might come and rob the grave.
Baby Zetty looked at Finn as if pleading for his help. However, she soon realized that Brother Finn did not know who was being buried here, so how would he know what to write?
Seeing Baby Zetty’s hesitation, Finn asked her curiously, "What's the matter?”
Baby Zetty hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind, saying, "I’ve given it a thought. I’m thinking of laying down a tombstone without an inscription. Her achievements and virtues were limitless during the time she was alive, but she also received criticisms from others. For all of her contributions and errors, it’s not up to me and my frail power to comment on them. So I'll set up this empty tombstone for future generations to evaluate instead."
After setting up the tombstone, Finn invited Baby Zetty to go back with him. "Granny, since your business here is done, please head back with me.”
Baby Zetty looked at Boye’s tombstone reluctantly as she remembered the love that Mr. Boye and Grandpa had given her over the past three years. Although they had been strict with the teaching process, they cared like none other regarding her food, clothing, and shelter.
They cared about her mental health for three years, allowing her to walk out of the trauma of her broken heart. Baby Zetty’s love for Grandma Boye and Grandpa had far surpassed the love for a family. There was also a sense of spiritual belief.
"Finn, I'd like to stay with her for the next seven days. You may come to pick me up again in seven days, okay?" Baby Zetty said stammeringly.
Finn took a look at the surroundings. Although this sunflower field was a breathtaking sight, it was on flat ground. If there were any wind or rain, there would be no place for them to seek shelter.
Hence, Finn took the initiative to offer to stay with her.
"Then, I'll stay here with you."
If Finn were to stay, Gale would start feeling somewhat uncomfortable. He did not plan to stick around and be an unwanted third wheel here, so he said, "In that case, the two of you wait for me here. I'll g o hunt and bring back some delicious food."
After that, Gale left without the slightest hesitation.
The weather here was stormy and windy.
The strong winds started striking near evening time.
