In terms of appearance, they definitely wouldn't be interested in Su Yuxi's face. The large marks are extremely noticeable. Taking her out during the day would scare children to tears, and at night, even the most timid wouldn't dare to sleep.
She seems quite lively and active, but her eldest grandson is reserved, deep, and taciturn, rarely uttering more than a few words all day long. It would be nice to have a little sparrow-like girl chattering around him.
Moreover, she has a nursing background, so taking care of her grandson is a piece of cake for her.
The key is her eldest grandson, who is willing to let her get close. He used to be closer to Xiaoying, but not to the point where she would feed him.
Speaking of Liu Ying, she liked that girl very much. She was beautiful and had a good figure. She was also well-educated. Most importantly, she could help Xiao Jin at work and was a great help. She was also gentle and patient with the elderly. This was the daughter-in-law she cherished most.
She gave such obvious signals six months ago, but there has been no progress at all.
Sigh... No matter how satisfied they are with their grandson, if he doesn't like it, there's nothing she can do.
"Old Wang, go and find out what Su Yuxi's background is, who her family is, what kind of business she's in. If you can help her out, we'll lend a hand and raise her status so she's at least good enough for our Xiao Jin."
"If they are ordinary people, don't look down on them. Find someone to help them take care of them and don't make them suffer. It's not easy for them to raise a girl."
She got more and more excited as she spoke: "Xiao Jin is not young anymore. Since she has taken a liking to him, let's hurry up and invite the in-laws over to have our horoscopes calculated. If it's auspicious, we should get married this year and have him give me a big, healthy son next year..."
"It would be best to have a son and a daughter, so I can help take care of them while I'm still alive..."
"I think that girl's features are quite regular. Apart from that dark spot on her face, she looks pretty good if you look closely. Her future child should be very cute. It would be best if the child could look like his father..."
Old Wang was speechless. They had only met once, and nothing was even going to happen yet. Moreover, the girl said she was just a caregiver, but the old lady was already thinking about her grandchildren. Wasn't she afraid of playing matchmaker?
The old lady was happily imagining her future great-grandchild when a sweet voice suddenly came from the doorway, shattering her reverie.
"Grandma, I've come to see you."
The old lady's voice stopped abruptly, and before she could even wipe the smile off her face, she stared blankly at Liu Ying, who was carrying large and small bags in from outside.
For some reason, she seemed like an old lady who had done something wrong, a guilty look flashing across her face, and her eyes darting away slightly.
I always thought she and Xiao Jin would end up together, so I tried my best to bring them together. Liu Ying knew what I meant and was very proactive in her actions, but Xiao Jin didn't seem to be interested in her and remained indifferent.
The old lady suddenly remembered her family heirloom bracelet, and her gaze involuntarily fell on Liu Ying's wrist.
To encourage her and reassure her, and also because I was afraid something might happen to me, I impulsively gave her the bracelet.
Although the bracelet isn't worth much money, it's very meaningful. What can we do now? The granddaughter-in-law might be someone else, and she can't bring herself to ask for it back.
It's all that brat's fault; he didn't make things clear in the first place.
"Grandma, have you been sleeping well lately? Are you eating normally? Your blood pressure is a little high, have you been taking your medicine properly?" Liu Ying placed the gift she was carrying on the table, oblivious to the old lady's discomfort, and continued to show her usual attentive concern for her health.
The old lady's eyes flickered even faster, and guilt was silently spreading in her heart. She picked up her water glass, took a small sip, and calmed herself down: "Hehe, the girl is here. It's alright, I'm perfectly fine."
“You’re so busy with work, why did you come here again? Didn’t I tell you to take a good rest when you have time? Don’t keep coming here every now and then. I’m an old lady, I’m not going to die anytime soon. Work is more important.”
Liu Ying didn't understand the hidden meaning in her words, and just thought that she was worried about her being too busy. She had long regarded the old lady as her own grandmother and accepted her concern without question.
She smiled and opened the jade Guanyin statue she had brought: "It's nothing. I just happened to get this jade Guanyin statue. I heard that placing it in the room is good for sleep, so I brought it over today since I had time."
The old lady had a keen eye; she could tell at a glance that the jade was of good quality. It was such a large piece, it must have cost a lot of money. She would have accepted such an expensive gift before, but now... should she accept it or not?
Liu Ying's mind was not on the old lady at all, and she didn't notice her troubled expression.
She glanced around absentmindedly, then casually started chatting as if she had suddenly remembered something: "Grandma, I called Brother Huaijin last night, and he said he'd come back today to have dinner with you."
"I guess something's holding them up, they'll be arriving a little later."
The old lady's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing. She couldn't say anything, just kept forcing a smile, and secretly gave Old Wang, who was watching the show, a wink, signaling her to think of a solution quickly, in case their ugly granddaughter-in-law saw them when they came back.
Old Wang shrugged, pursed his lips, and remained silent. He had no solution either. Liu Ying often came over to have meals with the old lady, and he couldn't just find some excuse to send her away. There was still rice cooking over there, and he could smell the aroma of the food standing here. How could he just tell her to leave?
Young Master Huaijin wouldn't let anyone leave either.
What can he do?
Yes, what can we do?
While she was looking worried, there was laughter and joy on the other side.
Fu Huaijin led people to a secluded and vibrant field of wildflowers in the back hills.
He crossed his arms and leaned lazily against a large, shady tree, his gaze following the figure in the flower field.
Su Yuxi, like a joyful butterfly, flitted lightly among the flowers. Every turn she made and every cheerful laugh she gave added vitality to the wildflower field.
He just didn't understand why anyone would like to run around in that smelly pile of flowers.
Su Yuxi picked two handfuls of flowers from the flowerbed, found a shady spot, and sat cross-legged. She gently twirled the freshly collected flowers and seedlings in her hands, the branches weaving through the blossoms with practiced skill, suggesting she had done this many times before.
Before long, she had made herself a colorful flower wreath and put it on.
Seeing that there are still so many materials left, it feels like such a waste to just throw them away.
She glanced at the man in the distance, thinking that freebies should be given to everyone.
She calmed herself down, knitted one, and took it back to give to that man.
Don't say she doesn't know how to give back; there aren't many people who would wear the rings she weaves.
Fu Huaijin looked at the wreath woven from colorful flowers, his brows furrowing deeply, his eyes revealing obvious disdain: "Give it to me?"
