Grandma was prepared to be interrogated by Shen Fenghua, but he acted as if nothing had happened. With bedtime approaching, Grandma finally lost her composure.
She spoke first, "Nannan, don't you have any questions about Lao Xu?"
To be honest, at my age, asking this is a little embarrassing, but...
Looking at her grandmother's anxious expression, Shen Fenghua thought for a moment and asked, "Grandma, are you happy?"
"Huh?" Grandma was taken aback, completely unexpected that Shen Fenghua would ask this.
Grandma looked back on her long life, and it seemed that the only happy time she had was when she was young and by her parents' side. Now that she was older, the time she had spent with Fenghua was the only time she had been happy.
"Happy."
Shen Fenghua smiled and pulled her grandmother to sit on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). "As long as you're happy, why should we care about so much else?"
"After all, they're all getting on in years."
“Even at her age, she’s still human. It’s perfectly reasonable for her to want to find someone she can talk to.” Shen Fenghua held her grandmother’s hand. “As long as you’re happy.”
Grandma couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart. Looking at Shen Fenghua, she said, "My little girl has grown up."
Shen Fenghua stood tall and proud, "Of course. As I grow older, do you think I'm completely brainless? If that's the case, you're underestimating me."
"Alright," Grandma said helplessly, "Go on, go to sleep."
Just as the two were about to part ways, Grandma suddenly slapped her forehead, "Oh dear, look at my memory, I almost forgot about this."
"What's up?"
This was a long story, but Shen Fenghua calmly took out a bag of roasted peanuts from the cabinet by her kang (heated brick bed). "Come on, let's eat and talk."
"It's Cai Lili from your office. I played matchmaker for her yesterday, and she's now dating Tian Daniu from the transportation team."
Shen Fenghua: "?"
She was stunned. She had only been gone for a day, and Cai Lili's place was already booked.
"No way?" Shen Fenghua's eyes were full of disbelief. "They've only been dating for a short time?"
"When it comes to fate, there's no denying it. I've even seen couples who dated for over two years but broke up at the last minute. It's not impossible for them to fall in love at first sight."
After saying that, Grandma looked at Shen Fenghua, as if seeking her approval, and asked, "What do you think?"
Shen Fenghua: "..."
What does she think?
She felt disillusioned if she told anyone about it.
Considering the family problems she mentioned, Shen Fenghua could understand. If she didn't take the initiative now, who knows what her heartless stepmother and stepfather might do when they came to their senses?
“That’s great,” Shen Fenghua chuckled, praising her grandmother, “I just didn’t expect my grandmother to be so capable, now she can even act as a matchmaker.”
As people get older, they become like children again and need to be praised.
Grandma remained calm on the surface, but she was overjoyed inside. If she had a tail, she would probably be wagging her tail in the air by now.
"Of course, do you need to tell me that? Alright, alright, it's getting late, go to sleep."
Seeing that Shen Fenghua was lying down, Grandma happily went back home.
Well, how should I put it?
I just felt incredibly happy and cheerful inside.
Life is getting better and better.
Qi Ye returned at this time, and looking at Shen Fenghua lying obediently on the kang, he was speechless, "Why are you lying down so early?"
Shen Fenghua lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and sighed, "Grandma said she would leave after I fell asleep. How did it go? Did she get any leads with Brother Xu?"
Shen Fenghua smiled, while Qi Ye remained calm. "What's there to discuss? As long as the two elders are willing, we will definitely support them wholeheartedly."
Shen Fenghua snorted, "At least you have a conscience."
"By the way, Sister Hong deserves credit for this. Have you decided what you want?"
"Huh?" Shen Fenghua asked, puzzled. "Is there something between us inside?"
"What else?"
Qi Ye chuckled and explained, "This woman is very cunning. She has committed countless evils in her own territory. People have been looking for her for a long time, but she is too shrewd and they can't catch her at all."
It's really strange, really. This woman called Sister Hong never used to go out at all, but this time she followed me out and, well, she's been tailing me all the way here...
It just doesn't seem right.
Unable to figure it out, the two simply stopped thinking about it.
In the military region, with her hands cuffed to the hospital bed, Sister Hong glanced at the two soldiers with real guns and nuclear weapons at the door, then raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face.
She knew that even if she had completely escaped her past, that damned bastard would still ruin her.
If not...
If she wasn't jealous of that woman, how could she have done something so foolish?
As Sister Hong reflected on the first half of her life, she found it increasingly ironic.
She knew that since things had come to this point, there was no way out. Rather than wasting her youth waiting, she might as well die sooner and be reborn sooner.
Her face was expressionless. Even if she were to be reborn as an animal in her next life, she would rather not be a human.
I'm so tired.
"I need to confess!"
...
The New Year was lively and festive. The children had grown another year older. Looking at Shen Fenghua's bulging belly, everyone's faces were filled with knowing smiles. In addition to Li Yanran's family coming over to celebrate the New Year together, Cai Lili also brought her boyfriend Tian Daniu to make an appearance.
She has already registered her marriage with Tian Daniu, and her life is now incredibly comfortable. Her mother-in-law has a good temper, and her sister-in-law is young but well-behaved and sweet, thanks to her mother-in-law's upbringing. Now, because of Cai Lili, she has gone to the school affiliated with the steel factory.
In her sister-in-law's eyes, Cai Lili had become an omnipotent goddess.
Now, even your own mother has to take a backseat; your sister-in-law comes first.
Cai Lili was very grateful to her grandmother and sent her a lot of things as a way of returning the favor.
"Grandma, really, I'm living a very comfortable life now," she said, looking at her grandmother with immense gratitude. Since it was the New Year anyway, she simply pulled her husband along and kowtowed three times properly to her grandmother.
She had only recently heard that her heartless mother was actually planning to sell her off for money, demanding a dowry of 300 yuan as soon as she asked for her good job.
At first, she thought she had misheard.
She only found out after the people who came to inquire discovered that she had indeed gotten a marriage certificate, and then went back and gave her mother and stepfather a beating. The two old bastards came knocking on her door.
Looking back now, it's really...
Grandma looked at Cai Lili and said with genuine emotion, "Girl, your good fortune is yet to come!"
