The moment Yi Mu saw the old woman, he knew she must be extraordinary.

The old lady's exact age was hard to discern; she had many wrinkles on her face and looked to be in her sixties or seventies.

Her black hair was mixed with white hair, which was neatly combed into a bun at the back of her head. She was chatting and laughing with Lijuan, and her face was quite expressive.

She wore a dark embroidered jacket with camellias embroidered on it, and a pair of finely crafted cloth shoes.

The old lady looked clean and neat, and from a distance, she appeared to be a kind old woman.

What he said was something that Yi Mu could not agree with.

"Lijuan, don't worry, with Grandma here, she'll definitely stand up for you."

Hearing the door open, Lijuan hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up, shaking her head like a fake gorilla.

"No, Grandma, I just feel it's inappropriate for Yu-ge to be with a man..."

She distanced herself from the situation, saying it was only for Xie Tuoyu's own good.

The old lady, who loves her grandson dearly, would certainly not allow that man to get close to Xie Tuoyu.

Xie Tuoyu was a well-known filial grandson in the surrounding area and never contradicted the old lady.

Lijuan helped the old lady up and made her stand obediently to the side.

Xie Tuoyu understood everything when he saw the situation.

He glanced at Lijuan indifferently; the little girl had grown up and had quite a few thoughts on her mind.

He took Yi Mu's hand and walked to the old lady's side. Without saying anything, he greeted her with a big smile.

“I asked you to come over several times before, but you always declined. As soon as Lijuan went, you came over. Does Grandma not love your grandson anymore? I’m so heartbroken.”

The old lady was a shrew, and Xie Tuoyu was no ordinary person either.

He first subtly accused the old lady of favoritism.

It doesn't feel right that my own grandson won't come to stay, but a stranger can come over after just a few words or a phone call.

The old lady knew his personality, chuckled, and didn't reply, turning her gaze to Yi Mu.

"This gentleman looks very respectable. Is he your friend? Won't you introduce him to Grandma?"

Xie Tuoyu was still holding Yi Mu's hand when he spoke.

Although the old lady is over seventy years old, her eyesight is not so bad that she can't see clearly up close.

Xie Tuoyu knew that the old lady was pretending to be confused, so he raised his hand, which was tightly clasped with Yi Mu's.

He turned to look at Yi Mu, his eyes filled with unwavering devotion to the one he had chosen.

"Grandma, I told you that if I ever find someone I like, I will definitely bring them to you."

His name is Yi Mu, and he's my wife.

The old lady's face was tense.

In her old neighborhood, two men having sex was called "two chairs," and it was something people would scorn.

She had lived to be over seventy and had seen all sorts of absurd things, but she never imagined that such a thing would happen to her own grandson.

From the day she found Xie Tuoyu, she tried every means to teach him to read and write.

Sending him away to study was to broaden his horizons and prevent him from being buried in a small mountain village.

Just as she had envisioned, Xie Tuoyu soared out of the small mountain village like a hawk.

The villagers all envied her, saying she was incredibly lucky to have found such a promising child.

What's the use of being successful if all your education goes to waste?

The old woman stood with her hands behind her back, her back ramrod straight, her face cold, and said loudly, "I disagree!"

Xie Tuoyu's smile vanished.

As expected, he felt no anger, just a bit of a headache. Persuading the old lady was a huge undertaking.

"You will agree someday."

Xie Tuoyu held Yi Mu's hand with one hand and put his arm around the old lady's thin arrow with the other, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Now that I'm here, I'd like to eat Grandma's noodle dumplings. You won't be angry and refuse to make them for me, right, Grandma?"

Elderly people all want to feel needed, even when they are angry.
