Chapter 305 Old Friends

"Dad, I didn't expect to meet your friends here. It's just right that when we move to the countryside, we can invite your old friends over and have a meal together."

Tang Yue didn't think carefully at first, she spoke without thinking, and only came to her senses after she said it, at this time, in a place like the hometown, it would be no good to run into an old friend.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and Father Zhao didn't say much, but everyone knew what he was thinking.

It took almost half an hour to get home. Tang Yue knocked on two doors and waited for a while before she heard her mother-in-law asking, "Who is it?"

"Mom, please come in. Dad and I are back. Please open the door quickly."

When Zhao's mother heard that her daughter-in-law and the old man had returned, she quickly opened the door and asked the two to come in.

After making sure that the two of them were fine, I finally felt relieved. I was just afraid that if I came back so late, something might have happened on the way and delayed me. Now I was not in the mood to ask the old man why he came back so late.

"Old man, why are you back so late?"

"Hey, I ran into Lao Liu over there. He's really suffered a lot compared to before. Lao Liu's wife is gone, and he lives alone in the cowshed in the village. I've been thinking about my old friend for so many years, and I hope I can help him, so I chatted with him for a while, but I didn't expect it would be past the time to go home."

"Old Liu was also locked up in the cowshed unexpectedly, and his wife is gone too. His wife was so kind, it's such a pity that she passed away like this. What about his daughters? Didn't you ask how his daughters are doing?"

"Mom and Dad, let's talk inside! It's so cold outside."

Tang Yue really wanted to stand outside all the time. Why was it so cold outside? Would it be nice to sleep with the baby in her arms?

Coming to the living room, Zhao's father did not hide anything. After all, if he wanted to help Lao Liu, he must get the consent of his family. Besides, there were several people living in the cowshed. If Lao Liu ate well alone, the others would definitely feel uncomfortable. To be on the safe side, the other people should also be helped as well.

"Old Liu was afraid of getting his daughters into trouble, so he cut off all ties with them in order to protect his family. But in the end, he didn't seem to be able to escape, and the family members all knew where they were. In this situation, how could Old Liu be in high spirits? When I met him, he was very depressed, so I persuaded him for an entire afternoon and half a night, and finally dispelled his good ideas."

Talking about Lao Liu's current situation, Zhao's father couldn't help sighing. The family had lost dozens of children before, and no one knew where they would go in the future. How many children could be saved?

"Old man, it's a good thing you retired two years ago. If it were the case with our family, we would have suffered. In the end, we are lucky to have married a good daughter-in-law who gave birth to four children. If you had to take care of your grandchildren, you wouldn't have retired so quickly and you wouldn't have had an excuse to retire. In the end, all this is thanks to Yueyue."

"Mom, that's not my credit. It's clearly a manifestation of your love for your granddaughter. Since that friend of Uncle Liu's father happens to live in the brigade behind our house, we should help him if we can."

Tang Yue felt that if she didn't tell it, her parents-in-law would also tell it. After all, they were cruel people. It would be better for her to tell it in advance.

"I was just about to discuss this with Yueyue, but I didn't expect you to bring it up first. It just so happens that your mother and I still have some savings. We'll give it to you later and buy some more nutritional supplements to store at home. The living environment at Lao Liu's place is really too poor. If you take some supplements, it will easily affect your lifespan."

"Dad, you guys should keep that little money for yourself, and you should save some. You don't need to ask others for money when you want to buy something later. I have money. I made some money outside these two days. I just told mom about it and then went out. It's a bit too chaotic outside, but it's okay to buy some things in the black market."

Mr. Zhao, please have some shame. He wanted to help an old friend, but he wanted his daughter-in-law to pay for him. How could he do such a thing?

He looked directly at his wife, hoping that she would help him talk to his daughter-in-law so that she could put the passbook away.

But the wife pretended not to hear, "Old man, you should keep that little money for yourself. My daughter-in-law just gave me 10,000 yuan in pocket money. How could she think highly of your little money? You should keep that money to buy food for my grandchildren."

In Zhao's mother's eyes, her daughter-in-law is a wealthy woman who only cares about the little money the old man has. If she would just give her 10,000 yuan casually, then she must have at least 100,000 or 1 million yuan on her.

After all, if she herself didn't have 1 million, how could she afford to give 10,000 yuan to others? So she guessed that her daughter-in-law was very rich.

Father Zhao looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that his daughter-in-law was so big. At the same time, he was very worried about her. After all, he heard from his wife that she sold things on the black market, but she often walked by the river and got her shoes wet.

"Yueyue, for the sake of your future, you shouldn't go anymore. You have to think about these kids who are still so young. What if something happens?"

"Dad, I've already told Mom that we'll go later. After all, it's too chaotic outside. Today is the last day to go. I'll go after I clear all the goods. I'll go to the brigade with Mom and Dad and take good care of the kids. Don't worry, I'll do what I say."

Father Zhao nodded with satisfaction when he saw his daughter-in-law agreed so readily. After all, seeing that she casually gave 10,000 yuan to his wife today, he thought that she usually earned more. But it took some courage to just give it up.

"Okay, old man, let's talk. You're hungry, and so are we. We haven't eaten yet in anticipation of your return. Stop talking and I'll bring the food over."

Mother Zhao impatiently interrupted what the old man was about to say. After all, look how late it was outside, it was pitch black, and there was no other light except the moonlight. Why bother eating and sleeping in a hurry?

"Mom, I'll go with you. If you want to eat, let's eat in the small living room next to the kitchen. It's so dark outside that you have to look far to get the food out."

"Okay, let's go there together and have a meal there."

Tang Yue would let her mother-in-law go to the kitchen alone, and quickly turn on the flashlight to light the way ahead for her.
