"Old Lady Li, keep your mouth shut. What could that girl Su possibly know?"

"Liu the Madman, what are you doing everywhere?"

"Pah... What, trying to do something naughty, and I caught you?"

"Bullshit, you're the one who's using dirty tricks!"

"Hmph, you think you're so smart? Everyone knows that if someone farts, they have to go up and sniff to see what they're eating!"

"You...you..."

Because the two of them suddenly started arguing, Su Xia took a breath and, taking advantage of the moment, flashed into the old lady's yard.

After a long time of waiting, Li Niang finally noticed and slapped her thigh in frustration...

"It's all your fault...!" she complained to Granny Liu.

Granny Liu's thin body stood as straight as a telephone pole, after all, she had won the battle.

"I advise you to stop thinking such nonsense; that person is not someone to be trifled with!"

After saying that, he closed the door in front of everyone and went home.

The neighbors who were watching the commotion were left alone, along with Lee Gye-niang, whose true intentions had been exposed.

"Comrade Chen, thank you and your family for taking care of the elderly!"

"Sigh... My aunt, no matter how many times she says it, she just doesn't want to go back. At first, we were worried, but it seems that after you moved here, your family occasionally appears in her letters..."

"In recent years, I've talked about you most and most of the time. Anyway, I especially want to thank your family...!"

Chen Jianguo listened intently, wanting to interject, but never had the chance.

Today, not only did Dou Guowei come by himself, but he also brought his driver, who is currently tidying up some things.

Chen Jianguo was with the old lady's nephew—who was even older than his father.

In the bedroom, Su Xia Niu Niu was also busy, packing and organizing the old lady's valuables one by one.

"Don't pretend you don't know these!" Su Xia was taken aback and asked in surprise, "These are all good stuff!"

The old lady remained unmoved. "Even the best things are better if no one uses them. Besides, I'm already quite old, how am I supposed to wear them?"

The old woman touched the silk fabric, as if reminiscing about something.

"Keep these for you and Niu Niu. They might not be suitable now, but you'll definitely have a chance to wear them later!"

Su Xia's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing. From that point on, things spiraled out of control.

The old lady didn't take any of the furniture from her room—not the kang cabinet, wardrobe, or kang table...

The washbasin stand, dressing table, and some small items, personal belongings, changes of clothes, and other things I like, all fit into one box.

Most of the items are embroidery tools and painting tools, all of which have been used for many years and are worn smooth and shiny.

"These things have been with me for so many years, you should take them with you!"

"And these are all things I use regularly; pack them all up!"

No one else spoke. Although the old lady was giving instructions, everyone could see the reluctance in her eyes.

Niu Niu's eyes even reddened, and Gu Bao had already started to cry silently...

Looking at his family and two children, Dou Guowei felt ashamed of his initial, somewhat negative, assumptions...

No wonder Auntie didn't want to leave; this family truly treats the old lady well. As for her lingering feelings...

Forehead....

He just checked yesterday, and the other person's assets... are very likely more than his; they own five houses in the county town, and even more in Beijing...

Dou Guowei held a high position, so he naturally heard a lot of things, even about Zhao Family Village.

Looking at the couple across from her, Miri felt admiration. If it weren't for them, that old commander, whose every stomp of his foot could shake the entire military dependents' compound...

Sigh... I really don't want to think about what the consequences will be.

And that couple, they haven't come back from there yet. There are very few intellectuals like them in the whole country.

"Madam...can you not leave?" Gu Bao pleaded tearfully.

Su Xia and Chen Jianguo tried to stop them, but Dou Guowei held them back.

"It's alright, the old lady treats him like her own grandson!"

"But...!" Su Xia wanted to say that at this time, people might misunderstand and think that Gu Bao had ulterior motives.

When Dou Guowei smiled, he appeared much more amiable.

"Daughter, you're overthinking it. We don't have much to begin with!"

Su Xia smiled and let it go, and then Niu Niu and Bao Bao kept crying and begging around the old lady.

The old lady also shed tears, a rare occurrence, and kept touching the two of them with reluctance.

The driver who was originally moving things also stopped temporarily, and several people could watch the three generations of the family acting out a melodramatic scene.

"My dear wife, what will I do if I miss you?"

"Yes, madam, please leave your address, and we'll write to you later!" Niu Niu said, her eyes red and swollen, clearly reluctant to part.

Old Mrs. Dou touched their faces with her withered hands, reluctant to part.

"Auntie, seeing how reluctant you are, why don't you just accept this family relationship?"

......

coax.....

The people in the room froze, somewhat incredulous...

Su Xia and Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. What kind of idea was this guy up to?

Seeing that the family wasn't excitedly calculating, Dou Guowei became even more certain of Miri's idea.

"Auntie, you're all alone anyway, and you like these two kids, plus you like the couple too, so why not just become their godparents?"

After hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Grandma Dou's face, followed by a gleam in her eyes...

"No, this doesn't seem appropriate!" Chen Jianguo cried out in pain and quickly reminded him.

Su Xia pouted; the stinky man was like a block of wood. The driver beside her looked on with a strange surprise...

People in the village were amazed, wondering who this wife was who dared to pinch her husband so hard. They never imagined such a thing could happen in this small county...

And I've heard that her husband is the director of the railway bureau. This woman is really bold.

"What's wrong with that? My aunt doesn't have any beautiful sons, so why can't she have one?" Dou Guowei was also unwilling.

What's going on? This is the first time I've seen someone refuse Director Dou.

Chen Jianguo wanted to say something, but... his gaze shifted to Su Xia; he had no idea!

Su Xia... wished she could do it again, but considering there were other people around, she decided to give them some face.

"That's how it is; the child's grandparents and maternal grandparents all live together. If they were to become godparents..."

Dou Guowei was still thinking of a reason, but after hearing this, he didn't know what to do.

He looked at his aunt a little embarrassedly; she seemed to be busy adding to his duties.

Grandma Dou sighed, but it didn't matter. Even if she didn't acknowledge it, it wouldn't interfere with her liking for Su Xia's family.

"If this doesn't work, are there any other options?"

Everyone immediately looked at the driver, who nervously swallowed hard, finally under pressure from the leader.

He then said, "Let them both become my disciples!"

The group of people were taken aback and looked at the bewildered Niu Niu and Bao Bao...

Su Xia and Chen Jianguo didn't refuse this time. These days, becoming a disciple is truly a matter of "once a disciple, always a father!"

There are even those who provide for the elderly and see them off in their final days.

"Haha...this is great, perfect for both of us to learn a little bit!"

Su Xia and Chen Jianguo were speechless. Didn't this nephew see the old lady's fierce eyes?

"Mom, what does Grandpa mean?" Gu Bao didn't understand.

Su Xia explained, "It's to make you recognize your wife as your mentor!"

"Really?" Ge Bao exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, and Niu Niu too!"

"Oh my god...this is so good!"

"My classmates and teachers all ask me who I learned to draw from, saying that I draw exceptionally well!"

Dark....

Su Xia nodded, confirming that Bao Bao indeed had a talent for this, coupled with the old lady's skill...

Su Xia didn't understand, but she liked it, and she collected many of Bao's paintings. She planned to hold an art exhibition later, if Bao did well in his career...

Thinking of this, Su Xia couldn't help but smile, but to others, she looked like a cunning fox...
