"Wang Tianfu, I've had enough of this kind of life."

After yelling, the woman covered her face and began to sob. The few onlookers around didn't try to comfort her.

However, some passersby who were unaware of the situation were curious and quietly asked those around them, "What's going on? What happened? Why are the couple arguing in the street?"

The person being questioned looked the passerby up and down, expressionless: "You're not from around here?"

Otherwise, why would someone ask such a question that they already know the answer to?

"No. I just got back from a business trip and heard the noise coming from here when I was passing by."

The person being questioned gave an "oh" and explained casually, "That man's family are capitalists. A while ago, the Red Committee..."

The person being questioned paused here, glancing at the passerby: "...You know. Anyway, the Wang family only has these two left. But people keep coming to their door to vandalize things every few days. After a while, the woman couldn't take it anymore, so she filed for divorce, but after the divorce, she had nowhere to go."

Upon hearing the person being questioned say that the man was a capitalist, the passerby didn't even need to listen to the rest of the conversation to roughly understand what was going on.

He nodded: "I see. I have to go now."

Just kidding, this kind of spectacle isn't for everyone.

The person being questioned didn't seem to care, but after spotting Lan Yao and the old lady out of the corner of his eye, he called out, "Grandma Yu, you're back?"

The old woman standing not far away nodded expressionlessly upon hearing this: "...You're back."

The person being questioned noticed Lan Yao beside the old lady and asked curiously, "Grandma Yu, who is this young man next to you?"

Oh dear, Grandma Yu has brought people back from outside again.

Grandma Yu explained naturally, "He's a distant nephew who just came from out of town. His family member passed away, so he came to Beijing to find me."

Lan Yao: ...

You're not an old lady, what's going on with you? Why have you suddenly given me this identity?

Lan Yao smiled at the person she was questioning and said, "Hello."

When asked the question, Li Hao nodded to Lan Yao and then said to Grandma Yu, "Grandma Yu, it's quite cold outside. You should take your grand-nephew back home."

Grandma Yu said expressionlessly, "But that couple is blocking the entrance to the alley."

Li Hao sighed and walked over to them, looking rather helpless: "They make a scene every day, howling all the time. I think today will be the same as before, so you'd better take a detour back."

Grandma Yu hummed in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she said something to Li Hao and pulled Lan Yao along the other side of the alley.

The alley was a little far from where she lived, but since she didn't have to see any unpleasant people, Grandma Yu reluctantly left.

Lan Yao was pulled along, slowly walking beside Grandma Yu.

Jade Pixiu: "Master, what does this old lady mean? Why is she holding onto you like this? Could she be plotting something against you?"

Jade Abacus: "My master is so powerful. How could he be afraid of an old lady? When the time comes, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Lan Yao meant the same thing.

The two remained silent on the way and soon arrived at the old lady's house. The old lady did not live in a large courtyard; she lived in a detached house, a three-section siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).

Moreover, Lan Yao was surprised to find that the old Lan family house in Beijing, which she remembered, seemed to be in this area.

This really is a matter of fate and serendipity.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, after walking a short distance, the old lady opened the door facing them and invited her in. After watching her sit down, the old lady quickly poured Lan Yao a glass of water. Lan Yao even noticed that the old lady had put a little brown sugar in it.

Lan Yao: ...

Actually, she doesn't really like sweet drinks.

However, since it was someone's kind offer, she couldn't refuse. Under Grandma Yu's watchful gaze, Lan Yao took a sip of water and put it down. She smiled and said, "Grandma Yu, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave now."

Lan Yao thought that Grandma Yu probably wanted to thank her, so she wanted to invite her to her house for a drink of water.

Grandma Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Sit a little longer."

Lan Yao: ...

She politely replied, "But it's getting late, I should go home soon."

Grandma Yu seemed not to hear what she was saying, and continued to say, "It is indeed getting late. It is indeed time to make dinner. Xiaobao, Grandma remembers that you love braised pork the most. Grandma got up very early this morning and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the best piece of pork belly. Grandma will make it for you now."

Grandma Yu took the wallet out of her bosom and carefully put it in the drawer. She stood up and was about to go to the kitchen.

Lan Yao: ...

No, what exactly is going on?

Jade Pixiu: "Master, don't you have a way to know what the other party is thinking? Use it now."

Lan Yao rolled her eyes: "She didn't mean me any harm, nor did she offend me. I'm not some robber or bandit, so why would I use my abilities on an ordinary person?"

Lan Yao warned, "Pipi, this kind of thinking is very bad. You really disappoint me."

The jade Pixiu also felt wronged: "Master, you're not usually a soft-hearted person. Besides, these days, people don't discriminate between young and old if they want to harm you. You can't have this kind of mentality."

Lan Yao snorted: "I have very sharp eyes. I can tell at a glance whether someone wants to harm me or not."

Besides, Lan Yao has a very keen sense of danger; this is an innate talent she possesses, honed through years of experience in dangerous environments.

She knew perfectly well whether someone harbored ill intentions towards her or wanted to harm her.

Besides, she's so powerful, why would she be afraid of an old lady?

Just as Yu Pixiu was about to say something, someone knocked on Grandma Yu's door.

Hearing the noise, Grandma Yu came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron as she replied, "Coming. Coming."

Grandma opened the door, and Li Hao came in carrying a small bowl of something.

He smiled and said to Grandma Yu, "My grandma heard that Grandma Yu's family had some relatives visiting, so she asked me to bring some things over."

It's just a bowl of tofu.

Grandma Yu politely accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Grandma."

Li Hao: "Our two families are so close, why be so polite?"

Li Hao turned his gaze to Lan Yao as she came out, and asked with a smile, "I forgot to ask earlier, what's your name, comrade?"

Lan Yao: "My name is Yao Xin."

Grandma Yu pulled Li Hao to Lan Yao's side: "Hao, can you help Grandma Yu chat with your little brother Yao Xin?"

Li Hao nodded: "Okay. Grandma Yu, you go ahead and get busy."

Grandma Yu nodded, took the things, and turned back to the kitchen.

After Grandma Yu's figure disappeared, Li Hao said calmly, "I know you are not Grandma Yu's grand-nephew."
