Chapter 159
"Grandma Duan, maybe your daughter is already waiting for you at home. Why don't we go back and see her?"
Old Mrs. Duan suddenly realized: "You have a point. Maybe my daughter has already returned home."
"Yes." Shen Yao nodded.
Mrs. Duan was about to follow Shen Yao when she suddenly thought of something and asked Shen Yao: "Who are you? Do you know where I live? How do you know where I live?"
"You and I live in a large compound. My last name is Shen," said Shen Yao.
"So you are the kid from the Shen family. Your wife just gave birth to a big fat boy. He looks so cute. I even held him in my arms." Old Mrs. Duan said with a smile.
Shen Yao agreed with a smile and did not refute what Mrs. Duan said.
Ye Fuyue looked at her bulging belly. She hadn't given birth yet, so when did Shen Yao have a big fat boy?
Shen Yao signaled Ye Fuyue with his eyes to walk inside and follow them.
Only then did Old Lady Duan notice Ye Fuyue and asked Chen Yao, "Who is she?"
"My wife."
"Why does your wife look different?" Old Mrs. Duan noticed Ye Fuyue's bulging belly again: "Didn't your wife just give birth? How come she's pregnant again, and her belly is so big?"
Just as Shen Yao was about to explain, Zhao Yuan and her man Duan Dawei came over.
"grandmother--"
When the two saw Old Mrs. Duan, they ran over hurriedly.
Old Lady Duan didn't recognize them and asked Chen Yao blankly, "Who are they?"
"They are your grandson and granddaughter-in-law." Shen Yao said.
"I already have grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law?" Old Mrs. Duan looked confused and a little bit unbelievable.
"Chen Yao, where did you see my grandma?" Duan Dawei asked.
"It was on this street. She said she wanted to find her daughter. I told her that her daughter might have been waiting for her at home, and then she was willing to go back with me." Shen Yao said.
"Thank you, thank you so much. My family found out grandma is missing. We're so worried and have been looking for her everywhere." Duan Dawei said, supporting the old lady Duan and saying, "Grandma, we'll take you home."
Zhao Yuan also thanked Shen Yao: "Thank you."
Then, she supported the other side of Old Lady Duan, and together with Duan Dawei, she helped Old Lady Duan go home.
Old Mrs. Duan turned around and looked at Chen Yao with confusion and fear. Chen Yao nodded to her, indicating that she could follow them without worry.
Ye Fuyue looked at the figure of Old Lady Duan walking away and said to Shen Yao, "Does Grandma Duan have Alzheimer's disease?"
Shen Yao nodded: "Yes."
"She mistook you for your father just now, right?" Ye Fuyue asked again.
"Yes." Shen Yao nodded again.
If Ye Fuyue didn't know at first that Old Lady Duan was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, then based on what happened later, it would be easy for her to figure out who the "boy from the Shen family" Old Lady Duan was talking about.
"Grandma Duan, has it been like this for a long time?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"For a year now, she has been running out like this every time she has an attack."
"Does she always look for her daughter?"
"Not always. Sometimes I'm looking for other things, and sometimes I simply can't find the way back." Shen Yao said.
"Her daughter died very early?" Ye Fuyue asked again.
"I heard she starved to death when she was very young. There was a famine at the time and there was no food. In order to feed her sons, she didn't even have a mouthful of porridge. She starved to death. This incident seemed to have become a source of worry for Grandma Duan. When she was sick, she would often call out her daughter's name and sometimes she would search everywhere for her like this."
Ye Fuyue was silent for a moment: "In order to save his son's life, he starved his daughter to death. No wonder he is heartbroken."
"Grandma Duan is very pitiful. You will understand when you get to know her more." Shen Yao said.
"Second brother - second sister-in-law - you are here!" Shen Shun's voice suddenly sounded, and he ran over panting.
"Why are you here?" Shen Yao asked.
"You're still talking." Chen Shun puffed out his cheeks. "You said you went to the family compound next door to find Master Wan to order something. You haven't come back for so long. Mom was worried that something might have happened to you, so she asked me to come out to look for you. I went to Master Wan's house first, and Master Wan said you left a long time ago, so I came all the way here."
Shen Yao was a little speechless: "We are both adults, how could we get lost? Mom is too worried."
"Mom is not worried about you, I'm worried about sister-in-law." Shen Shun pointed at Ye Fuyue's belly and said, "Sister-in-law's belly is so big. Mom is afraid that if she is really pregnant, it will be a serious matter."
Shen Yao became more speechless: "As long as I'm here, Mom has nothing to worry about."
Shen Shun snorted: "Mom said that she is worried about you being here. She also said that you have never experienced it and don't know the severity. She asked me to come and take a look."
Shen Yao: “…”
Ye Fuyue just thought it was funny. She said, "Chen Shun has come to see us, let's go back."
"Okay." Shen Yao nodded.
"Sister-in-law, please walk slowly. Mom said that you must not walk fast. It is easy to get into trouble if you walk fast." Chen Shun told Ye Fuyue worriedly with the look of a little adult.
Ye Fuyue smiled brightly: "Okay, I can't walk fast even if I want to."
Shen Yao supported Ye Fuyue, while Shen Shun watched from the side like a little supervisor. The three of them walked slowly towards the slum, the setting sun lengthening their shadows.
…
The Spring Festival is here again, some are happy while others are sad.
Although Shen Kang did not come back for the New Year this year, Ye Fuyue was pregnant with twins, which was a great joy for the Shen family. Even though there was one less person in the family, they were still full of joy.
But some people's homes are not so festive.
The Wu family was the first to be affected.
More than a month had passed since Ye Fuyun took the medicine prescribed by the old doctor, but there was still no movement in Ye Fuyun's stomach, and Zhou Jinmei became anxious again.
"It's been so long since you took the medicine, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet? Is that miracle doctor really reliable?"
Zhou Jinmei watched Ye Fuyun drink those medicines, so she could only suspect that the miracle doctor was not reliable at all.
Ye Fuyun was actually a little anxious, but she couldn't show it. She pretended to be calm and said, "It's definitely reliable. Maybe I'll be pregnant soon. After all, it's only been a month."
In her previous life, it was only after Zhou Jinmei took Ye Fuyue to see the old miracle doctor that Ye Fuyue became pregnant. If Ye Fuyue could get pregnant, then she could definitely get pregnant too, especially since she had no problems to begin with. It must be that the time hadn't come yet.
"Yeah, it's only been over a month. Maybe you'll get pregnant this month." Zhou Jinmei seemed to comfort herself.
"Yes, Mom, let's wait a little longer. You will definitely be able to hold your big fat grandson in your arms soon." Ye Fuyun comforted Zhou Jinmei with a smile.
When Zhou Jinmei heard her say this, she imagined herself holding her big fat grandson in her arms, and her mood improved a lot. She decided to wait patiently.
The Tian family had a terrible Spring Festival this year.
Ever since Tian Hao stopped paying the household allowance, the Tian family always felt like they had lost hundreds of dollars. Every time they saw Tian Hao eating at home, they always felt that Tian Hao was eating for free.
Even during this Chinese New Year, Tian Hao didn't spend a penny on household expenses.
When Tian's mother argued with him about this, Tian Hao shamelessly said, "Then just use it to offset the two months' worth of household expenses I paid previously, which is ten yuan. If I can offset two months' worth of expenses at once, it should be enough for the New Year."
