Chapter 319 An Old Lady with a Story



All of this was described to Ruan Qiqi by Shushu. Now her ability to communicate with Shushu was getting stronger and stronger. As long as she wanted, there was almost nothing she could not find out.

But if it weren't for work, Ruan Qiqi seldom let Shushu inquire about news, because many Shushu were particularly eager to share, just like the talkative old ginkgo tree, who would always bring personal information when inquiring about news, either that the widow was having an affair with the neighbor, or that someone's old man was having an affair, or that someone's man only had three seconds left, which made her very confused.

Originally, Ruan Qiqi planned to find out where Bai Fengshou and his grandson lived and then visit them tomorrow, but now she has changed her mind.

Xie Taozhi was so excited, it must be related to the antique shop. Her curiosity did not allow her to go home.

She also remembered that Xie Taozhi's origins were indeed quite mysterious. She came from another place and married a white landlord, and brought a lot of dowry.

Landlord Bai was just a rich peasant with ten acres of land back then. He became a landlord after marrying Xie Taozhi. This was also the reason why Landlord Bai did not dare to divorce Xie Taozhi because she was unable to bear children.

After Xie Taozhi got married, she never went out of the main house or the second door. Apart from managing the household accounts, she didn't care about other matters and didn't deal with people in the village. The old people in Baili Village said that Xie Taozhi was beautiful and dignified when she was young, like a rich lady, and that the landlord Bai must have had great merits from his ancestors to marry such a beautiful and wealthy lady.

But soon they stopped being envious, because Xie Taozhi couldn't give birth to a child. The villagers went from being envious to mocking her and gossiping about her behind her back. However, Xie Taozhi didn't care and continued to live her life behind closed doors.

Another point is that Bai Fengshou was raised by Xie Taozhi personally. Ruan Qiqi heard from his original body that after the reform and opening up, Bai Fengshou caught the wave, went to the south to make a lot of money, became a big boss, and returned to his hometown to build a particularly luxurious tomb for Xie Taozhi.

However, Bai Fengshou's original body did not know what specific business she was doing. Her ghost was trapped in Tanzhou and Ruanjia Bay and could not go anywhere else.

It can be seen from Bai Fengshou's conversation and calligraphy that he received an excellent education since childhood. Bai Dizhu can't even recognize a few words, so it is obvious that it was Xie Taozhi who educated him.

"You go home first, I'll do something."

Ruan Qiqi decided to go and meet the grandparents and grandchildren. She had a feeling there would be a surprise.

"Qiqi, where are you going? I'll go with you."

Lu Ye was worried and insisted on following.

"I'm not made of tofu."

Ruan Qiqi glared at her. Ever since he knew she was pregnant, this guy has become a follower of her, even following her to the toilet.

Lu Ye laughed. He had to follow anyway, so he couldn't let Qiqi and Zaizai get bullied.

"Okay, follow me!"

Ruan Qiqi had no choice but to agree, and Lu Ye left the things he bought with the guard. The young soldier on guard couldn't stop laughing. He had heard before that Deputy Commander Lu was clingy with his guests, and today he finally saw it. He was just like that little husband, so disgusting.

"What are you laughing at? You don't have any guests?"

Lu Ye glared and stabbed him.

The smile on the young soldier's face disappeared instantly, and the corners of his mouth drooped, because he really had no relatives, and he was 21 years old, and his hometown had children of the same age as him.

"The guests will be there soon. You can eat this snack when you get off work!"

Ruan Qiqi took out a small bag of frozen rice candy and placed it at his feet.

“Sister-in-law, no need…Ah!”

The soldier quickly refused, but Ruan Qiqi and Lu Ye had walked away and he could not leave his post, so he had to accept it.

My sister-in-law is so nice. Deputy Captain Lu is so lucky.

When Ruan Qiqi and the others arrived at the antique shop, Bai Fengshou and Xie Taozhi had just finished shopping in the store and were about to leave.

"you?"

When he saw them, Bai Fengshou's eyes were filled with surprise. He opened his mouth to greet them, but then closed it again because of his identity.

"Where are you going?" Ruan Qiqi asked.

"Let's go to Huogongdian for dinner." Bai Fengshou replied.

He brought his grandmother into the city this time to fulfill her wish. When he was very young, he often heard his grandmother mention Tanzhou City. Her tone was full of nostalgia, but also mixed with other emotions.

Bai Fengshou didn’t understand when he was a child, but when he grew up he found out that Tanzhou was his grandmother’s hometown, where there lived the person she had been tied to for her entire life, but his grandmother never found that person in her entire life.

Her health was getting worse, so she wanted to come to Tanzhou City to try her luck and see if she could find that person.

Huoguangdian was Xie Taozhi's favorite place to eat. After she got married and moved to Baili Village, she never went there again. Bai Fengshou wanted to take her there to eat again, and it might be the last time.

"Let's go together."

Ruan Qiqi smiled at Xie Taozhi and let them go ahead.

Last time when she was dealing with the unscrupulous grandfather and uncle's family, she didn't pay attention to this old lady. Now, after taking a closer look, she realized that the old lady's temperament was definitely not that of someone from a humble family. She must have a story.

Xie Taozhi also smiled slightly. Although she had white hair and an old face, she could still see the beauty of her youth. Even though she was weak and dressed in tattered clothes, her back was still straight and she was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Will eating together affect you?" Bai Fengshou asked hesitantly.

"No, let's go!"

Ruan Qiqi's tone was very straightforward. She even made friends with the Japanese devils, so why would she be afraid of having a meal with the landlord's son?

Xie Taozhi was weak and could not walk far, so Lu Ye called a tricycle. After arriving at the Fire Palace, the old lady stood at the door and looked at him for a long time. Her cloudy eyes turned red again.

"Did you often eat here?"

Ruan Qiqi asked casually.

"I often came here when I was a kid. My mother wouldn't let my sister and I go out, so my father would secretly bring us out to play. Even if he couldn't bring us out, he would pack some for us to eat at home. I like the five-spice dried tofu here the most. You can't get the same taste anywhere else. I haven't had it for many years!"

Xie Taozhi's expression was full of nostalgia, with a faint smile on her lips. Although she was very old now, she still looked like a young girl, and it was obvious that she must have had a very happy childhood.

How can a strict mother and a doting father not be happy?

After entering the store, Ruan Qiqi asked Xie Taozhi to order first. The old lady only ordered a few items, so she ordered some more and then rushed to pay the bill and get the ticket.

"Don't argue with me. I'm richer than you now. When you become rich, you can treat me back."

Ruan Qiqi stopped Bai Fengshou who was about to pay.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you in this lifetime."

Bai Fengshou smiled self-deprecatingly. Labelled as a landlord's son, he would never be able to make any progress in his life.

"That's not necessarily true. You never know what's going on!"

Ruan Qiqi smiled mysteriously. She had known for a long time that Bai Fengshou would become a wealthy man in the future, but she didn't say it.

Bai Fengshou's expression changed. He was happy at first, but then he felt depressed again. He thought that Ruan Qiqi was just casually saying words of comfort. In the current situation, he could not see any hope at all.

The four of them sat down to eat. Xie Taozhi's dining etiquette was very elegant. She would drink half a cup of tea before eating.

Bai Fengshou was the same. Ruan Qiqi thought for a moment and found out that Mo Qiufeng also had this habit. He must drink half a cup of tea before meals, saying that it can nourish the stomach.

"I have elders who, like you, drink half a cup of tea before meals, saying it nourishes the stomach."

Ruan Qiqi said with a smile.

"My grandma taught me this since I was a child, so I'm used to it." Bai Fengshou smiled.

"I've been used to it since I was a kid. My elders said it can nourish the stomach."

Xie Taozhi also laughed.

[There are two more updates. I feel a little better today than yesterday. I don’t know if it’s because of a cold or a bacterial infection. I’m in excruciating pain and my vitality is greatly damaged. Everyone must pay attention to keeping warm and eating hygienic food.]
