Although Qian Yu's lips didn't move, Wu Ximo knew what she was thinking from her eyes.
Weiwei shook her head at Qian Yu. As an old man, it always takes time to digest some things, and there are always some complaints in the process. This is human nature and understandable.
"Mother-in-law, think about it from another angle. It might not be a bad thing for you if the business wants to expand here," Qian Yu said, unable to hold back her temper.
"A good thing?" the old lady sitting on the sofa scoffed. "They're about to tear off my roof, pry up my foundation, and fill up the fields three miles away, and you tell me this is a good thing?"
"But······"
"Qian Yu!" Qian Yu was stopped by Wu Ximo before he could finish his words.
Qian Yu turned his head to look at Wu Ximo and asked with a hint of eyes, "Why are you not allowed to speak?" But when he saw Wu Ximo shaking his head at him, he had to swallow back the words that were about to burst out of his throat.
The actions of the two people caught the attention of the old lady sitting on the sofa. Her malicious and cold gaze softened a little the moment Wu Ximo stopped her. She could see that the girl was more respectful and was not the same type as the group of people who had come before.
"Mother-in-law, my friend's tone was a little bad just now. I apologize to you on her behalf." After Wu Ximo signaled Qian Yu not to speak, he turned his head to look at his mother-in-law sitting on the sofa and said slowly.
After apologizing, Wu Ximo looked up at the grandmother and said, "Her tone may have offended you, but she was speaking the truth." Wu Xinmo was cautious when she spoke this, paying close attention to the grandmother's facial expressions and her body movements. Only after she realized that she didn't show any resistance did she dare to continue. "Look, you just mentioned that there's a field three miles from your house. Although you don't feel tired walking these six miles back and forth every day, you won't feel the same way when you're in your seventies or eighties."
Seeing the old woman looking up at him, Wu Ximo was startled and kept praying that he would not step on the old lady's landmine again. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Wu Ximo bit the bullet and said, "Besides, you should have a little grandson at home, or a grandson or something. If you move to the city, it will be much more convenient for him to go to school, right?"
Seeing the mother-in-law's expression changed, Wu Ximo secretly felt lucky that he had made the right bet. When he had time, he really needed to take some psychology lessons from the senior sister. This subject really helped him a lot.
"How old is your grandson this year? Is he in elementary school?"
"He is in the third grade this year and will be in the fourth grade next year." The mother-in-law, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Seeing her like this, Wu Ximo was secretly happy in his heart. This was hopeful. "Next year she will be in the fourth grade. There doesn't seem to be many schools nearby. The fourth grade can't be delayed. It is a turning point in elementary school. Taking the bus for several hours every day will also delay the child's study and physical development!" Wu Ximo murmured. Although he was muttering to himself, he said it clearly to the old lady. After he finished speaking, he signaled Qian Yu with his eyes to let her follow him to persuade the old lady.
After receiving Wu Ximo's gaze, Qian Yu immediately followed suit to persuade the old lady.
Each of them spoke a few words, and the old lady was completely confused and tangled. Although she didn't agree, her attitude had changed drastically. As the three of them chatted, they actually started talking about the same thing. The old lady talked about her childhood, about famine, reform, catching cicadas, and playing with crickets. She talked about everything she had back then.
