Chapter 272
"That's what I was saying," said Old Man Chen. "Your eldest grandson looks just like you when you were young. You can tell he was raised by you. I heard that children tend to look like the person who raised them. Look at him, he's just as handsome as you were when you were young."
When Old Man Chen said this, not only Aunt Liang was happy, but Liang Tianxiong was also happy - of course he was happy when someone praised him for being handsome.
Old man Chen took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and gave it to Liang Tianxiong: "Here, have some candy."
Liang Tianxiong's eyes lit up. He grabbed the candy, peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Slow down, no one's competing with you." Aunt Liang sneered at Liang Tianxiong, "Why don't you thank Uncle Chen?"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Liang Tianxiong said, but he didn't even look at old man Chen.
Old man Chen smiled and patted Liang Tianxiong's head: "If you like it, uncle will often bring you candy in the future."
"Really?" Liang Tianxiong stared at Old Man Chen with shining eyes.
Old Man Chen nodded: "Of course it's true."
Liang Tianxiong was very happy, and he had candy to eat often from then on.
Zhou Jinmei felt so disgusted that she couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
This old man Chen is well-known in the family compound next door for his love of flirting. He obviously has a wife, but he doesn't treat her very well. He likes to praise this and that in public.
Look at Aunt Liang. She knew exactly what kind of person Old Man Chen was, but she was still flattered by him and her face was flushed.
When Zhou Jinmei came out of the bathroom, Liang Tianxiong was gone, and Aunt Liang was still chatting and laughing with Old Man Chen.
Zhou Jinmei felt extremely disgusted in her heart, both Old Man Chen and Aunt Liang.
She walked towards the slum, when suddenly an idea came to her.
Aunt Liang always teased her, saying Ye Fuyun had been married for so long, and she still had no grandson. But Cui Li, who came into the family later than Ye Fuyun, had already given the Liang family a big, fat grandson.
What made Zhou Jinmei even more angry was that Aunt Liang even suspected that Wu Longfei was infertile.
Zhou Jinmei couldn't stand this! How could Wu Longfei be infertile? Her son was fine!
Aunt Liang always made fun of her family. This time, she finally got the chance to make fun of Aunt Liang as well.
Having made up her mind, Zhou Jinmei pulled a passing auntie aside as soon as she entered the compound and said, "Auntie Feng, where are you going? I'm telling you, I was just in the restroom when I saw Auntie Liang and Old Man Chen from the family compound next door being very affectionate. I don't know what they were talking about, but Auntie Liang was laughing so hard."
"...Yes, that old man Chen who likes to chat with aunts and old ladies everywhere."
"Old man Chen even praised Aunt Liang for being so beautiful when she was young. Why would Old man Chen praise Aunt Liang instead of his own wife? Could he have some feelings for Aunt Liang?"
"Also, Old Man Chen particularly likes Liang Tianxiong... Yes, that's Aunt Liang's beloved grandson Liang Tianxiong. He also said that Liang Tianxiong looks like Aunt Liang when she was young, handsome and good-looking. He even gave Liang Tianxiong candy and said that he would bring candy to Liang Tianxiong often in the future. You see, Old Man Chen has only bought candy for his own wife a few times, but he brings candy to other people's grandchildren every day. This Old Man Chen, I'm afraid he really has feelings for Aunt Liang, that's why he treats Liang Tianxiong so well."
"I think Liang Tianxiong has a pretty good relationship with Old Man Chen. He even calls him Uncle Chen. Liang Tianxiong has a bully-like personality. When has he ever called anyone that? But he just happens to be so close to Old Man Chen. I guess Old Man Chen feeds him a lot of good things, which is why he has such a close relationship with him."
"Aunt Xie, do you know about Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen? ... Oh, you don't know yet! I'm telling you, Old Man Chen praised Aunt Liang for her beauty when she was young, and even gave Liang Tianxiong candy. He even said he would bring candy to Liang Tianxiong every day..."
"Aunt Du, have you heard about Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen?"
“…”
Within a few days, the story of Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen spread throughout the compound.
Those nosy people were reluctant to gossip in front of the person involved, but someone secretly asked Cui Li: "Is the story between your mother-in-law and the old man next door, Chen, true?"
Cui Li hadn't expected Zhou Jinmei to be so capable. Within just a few days, everyone knew about Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen's affair. More importantly, Zhou Jinmei had even dragged Liang Tianxiong into the matter.
This is great for Cui Li.
At this moment, facing the gossipy eyes of her aunts, Cui Li pretended to be confused and asked, "What's going on? I've been at home the whole time. My mother-in-law told me to stay home more and take good care of the house. I don't know anything about it."
The aunts exchanged meaningful looks.
"Your mother-in-law asked you to stay out of the house. She's probably afraid that you'll find out about her and Old Man Chen."
"What happened to my mother-in-law and old man Chen?" Cui Li was very confused.
"We heard it, we heard it too, we don't know if it's true, but we heard that your mother-in-law and Old Man Chen have a very good relationship, and Liang Tianxiong is also very close to Old Man Chen, and it seems that the two of them are in love."
"Impossible!" Cui Li denied without hesitation, appearing extremely angry. "My mother-in-law is not that kind of person! Who on earth is slandering her?"
"Don't be angry. We just heard about it and thought it wasn't very reliable, so we came to ask you." Aunt comforted her.
Cui Li still looked very angry. "Although my mother-in-law likes to chat outside and only comes back when it's time to eat, she's definitely not that kind of person. She and my father-in-law have a very good relationship! Auntie, please don't say such things again in the future, or you'll be misunderstood."
Cui Li finished her righteous words and left.
But after she walked away, the aunts started talking again.
"Cui'e doesn't go home until dinner time every day, so she spends most of her time outside. What is she doing?"
"What else can I do? I come home late, and I don't let my granddaughter-in-law go out all the time. I'm sure he's doing something shameful out there, that's why he doesn't let his granddaughter-in-law go out!"
"Cui'e is so lucky. She has two granddaughters-in-law who are both very close to her. Look how angry Cui Li was when we talked about Cui'e just now! She was so protective of her mother-in-law."
"It seems that Cui'e and Old Man Chen are almost certain to be together!"
"I think Liang Tianxiong might know about her grandmother and Old Man Chen. Otherwise, Liang Tianxiong wouldn't be so close to Old Man Chen, and Old Man Chen wouldn't give him candy so often."
"Liang Tianxiong must know! Even though he's just a little kid, kids are smart and know everything."
After a few more days, more and more rumors spread about Aunt Liang and Old Man Chen, and the more they spread, the more plausible they became.
However, Aunt Liang, Old Man Chen and Liang Tianxiong, the parties involved, did not know about this.
When Liang's father came home from get off work, he always felt that the women in the compound looked at him strangely.
