Since the old lady rarely spoke to people, Ye Yun didn't want to spoil her mood, so she smiled and replied, "Grandma, I'm your granddaughter-in-law."
"Granddaughter-in-law?"
The old woman squinted her cloudy old eyes, her face full of curiosity, and looked her up and down with suspicion.
Ye Yun always wore a perfectly timed smile, appearing poised and confident.
The old lady seemed to remember something, nodded in sudden realization, and took her hand, saying, "I remember now... you're the Ye family's daughter."
Ye Yun smiled gently.
The old lady felt guilty because her husband had passed away because of her maternal grandfather.
However, the old lady grabbed her hand and asked with a smile, "Child, is that old dog Ye Lizhang dead yet?"
"ah?"
Ye Yun was speechless with astonishment.
What outrageous things did she hear from her kind grandmother?
The old woman seemed to recall the past, her face full of resentment: "Hmph, that senile old man, I get angry just thinking about him. My husband told him to leave, but he wouldn't go, saying he'd rather die with my husband."
"Damn it, your grandma and I were so angry we each slapped them! If they both died, where would we go?"
Ye Yun's mouth was slightly open.
What's the meaning?
"My old man had bad luck; he died before Old Ye..." The old lady sighed, her cloudy eyes glistening with tears, which she wiped away.
Ye Yun fell silent.
As a shadow fell over her, she turned her head and saw Qin Zheng and Qin Xiang'e, covered in chicken feathers, returning to the house together.
What are you two talking about?
Qin Zheng saw the old lady holding Ye Yun's hand, and a warm feeling flashed in his eyes.
In his eyes, his grandmother would sit in the doorway of the main room all day sunbathing and rarely did anything else. But now she was holding Ye Yun's hand and talking to her granddaughter-in-law like an ordinary grandmother. It was so nice.
Ye Yun smiled slightly, "Grandma asked me whose daughter I am and how I ended up in your family."
"Oh?" Qin Zheng chuckled softly, looking at the old lady with a teasing and gentle gaze. "Grandma, you still don't know which family your granddaughter-in-law is from?"
The old lady slowly turned her head to look at him.
Then, he snorted out seriously from his nostrils: "Hmph... you little bastard."
After saying that, she left unhurriedly, leaning on her cane. Her back was unsteady but her body was strong. She stepped over the threshold and leisurely walked towards her own room.
Qin Zheng: "..."
Sigh, when will his grandma change her temper of scolding him all the time?
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.
The elderly woman, now in her sixties, is probably the only one who can make Qin Zheng suffer a setback.
"I suggested killing two chickens, but Zhengzi wouldn't allow it. Wife, is there anything you want to eat? I'll get it for you. You can take it back to the city tomorrow morning. I saw that the two persimmon trees in the brigade have really good fruit, golden and tempting. How about I get you a basket of them tomorrow morning?" Qin Xiang'e was still brushing the chicken feathers off her body, with a smile on her face.
The persimmon trees of the brigade...
Ye Yun couldn't help but recall some less pleasant memories.
She couldn't help but glance at Qin Zheng.
The man was also looking at her with a slight smile in his eyes. He stood at the entrance of the main room, his tall and slender figure almost as tall as the door. Beneath his thick, dark eyebrows, his deep eyes were full of interest as he met her gaze without any attempt to hide it.
Ye Yun blushed deeply.
Clearly, he also remembered what happened that day.
That lecherous scoundrel...
"His wife? His wife?" Qin Xiang'e's voice kept calling in her ears. Ye Yun came back to her senses and saw Qin Xiang'e waving her hand in front of her.
Qin Xiang'e looked at her with concern. "Why are you daydreaming? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"No, no." Ye Yun shook her head, suppressing her embarrassment, and forced a smile. "No need, Auntie. You don't need to do anything. I can buy whatever I want to eat when we get back to the city."
“It’s much cleaner to pick them at home. I’ve heard that the ones sold in the city are sprayed with pesticides. You’re pregnant, what if it’s bad for your health?”
"Auntie, don't worry about it, I can take good care of her."
Seeing that Qin Xiang'e was trying to do something, Qin Zheng smiled and helped her out. Of course, he also knew that Qin Xiang'e genuinely wanted to do something for Ye Yun.
Elders are always like that.
I always feel like I'm not giving you enough, so I try my best to be good to you, even if it's hard work, I'm happy to do so.
If you don't let her do it, she'll feel disappointed.
For example, there's Qin Xiang'e sighing and complaining in front of me.
"They won't let me kill chickens... they won't let me eat persimmons... they won't let me bring anything with me, sigh..." She turned to go back into the house, still muttering to herself, seemingly still thinking about what she could do for Ye Yun.
Suddenly, a dog barked outside.
"Woof! Woof woof woof woof woof!"
The coal ball, wagging its tail, was barking incessantly towards the fence gate, its barking punctuated by a slightly familiar male voice calling out—
Are your family members asleep?
