Not long after they finished chatting, Grandma Xue returned and greeted her friend at the door: "Same place tomorrow, I guarantee I'll beat you until you're crying for your parents."
When Xue's father saw her, he laughed and teased, "Mom, you've been fighting with other people again."
Grandma Xue gave her a disapproving look.
"What do you mean by fighting? It's just a friendly exchange of martial arts skills. It's just that those old guys aren't very good. They can't beat me, but they still insist on sparring with me. I let them win and didn't cripple them, so the younger generation wouldn't have to worry about me."
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Mom, it seems you really are unbeatable in the compound. From now on, those old men and women will have to avoid you when they see you."
"Heh, they won't go out of their way to avoid me. They all like playing with me. Sigh, it's called fighting, but it's really just a few punches and kicks to get some exercise. But there were two idiots who insisted that I was all show and no substance, so I sparred with them a couple of times and beat them to a pulp, begging for mercy. It's nothing serious. Your mom knows how to hold back; I won't hurt anyone. Otherwise, they'd come after us and demand medical bills. I'm old, but I'm not a child anymore. Your mom is still sensible."
Those two I beat up actually want to spar with me tomorrow, so I agreed. I need to stretch my muscles every day anyway, so I might as well spar with them.
Grandma Xue sat down on the sofa, stretched her limbs a few times, and suddenly remembered something. She said to Mr. and Mrs. Xue, "The pastries that Yanchen sent back before were so delicious. Minghui also finished the ones she brought back from Lin Province. Oh dear, I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't eat them for a few days."
I went to the department store again, and the taste was completely different. Hey, I'll send some more money to my precious grandson so he can buy more and send it back. Not only do I think it's delicious, but I also let a few of my old friends try it, and they all said it was great. When they saw me, they told me they were giving money and that Yanchen should buy more and send some back for them to share.
As she spoke, she took out a wad of cash from her pocket and slapped it on the coffee table.
“I’ve already promised them. Look, this is all from them. It’s money for the snacks and the postage. I’ll send it to Yanchen when I want him to buy some snacks and then send it back.”
Mr. and Mrs. Xue looked at the stack of money, which was at least a hundred yuan. If it were based on the prices of pastries in their area, they could probably buy dozens of kilograms of them.
If they agree to that, their daughter-in-law will have to work hard.
After exchanging glances, Mr. Xue said, "Mom, there's something I need to tell you. Yanchen is no longer in the countryside. He and Zhao Jun went on a secret mission and have returned to the army after completing it. We only found out about this after receiving his letter. So, he can't do the snack-buying business anymore."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xue burst into laughter several times.
"I knew my grandson was a good man. How could he have ended up being discharged? Turns out he was on a mission. Good, it's great to be back in the military region. Now the kid can realize his ambitions again."
"Mom, what do you think about these pastries?"
Grandma Xue didn't answer Mr. Xue, but instead looked at Mrs. Xue: "Minghui, since Yanchen is no longer there, then we'll have to trouble your brother and the others. If it's too much trouble, that's fine, you don't have to eat anyway. As for the money of those old friends, I'll return it to them."
After saying that, she smacked her lips twice, her eyes revealing her longing for the dessert.
If Xue's mother refused again, it would be rather unreasonable, and it would make her own family seem stingy, unwilling to help with even the smallest favor.
She glanced at the money on the coffee table and finally thought of something. Luo Jingyan could make pastries, and having her make pastries for these old ladies could help her earn some money. Although that was her idea, she didn't know if Luo Jingyan would be willing.
"Mom, how about this? We don't know much about their situation over there, or whether they still make those kinds of pastries, or even if they can make them. How about this, I'll wire this money to my brother. If he can buy them, he can mail them to you. If he can't, you can't complain. He can just return the money to those aunties."
"Okay, if they decide not to do it, there's nothing your brother can do. I'll just return the money to them later."
"Okay, Mom."
That evening, Xue's mother and father were alone. Xue's father said, "It's not just Mom who's craving it, I'm craving it too. I always feel that Xiao Luo's pastries are different from those made by other chefs; the taste is very unique."
“Me too, I want to eat it.” Xue’s mother said, “I will send money to Jingyan tomorrow and write her a letter to tell her that she can do it if she can, but she doesn’t have to force herself if she can’t.”
"OK."
The next day, Luo's mother first went to the department store to buy Luo Jingyan a spring outfit, and then went to the post office to mail the money, letter, and clothes.
Li Hongying's injuries have fully healed. She has always behaved very obediently in front of Liu's mother and son, working in the fields with them. After returning home, she has taken the initiative to cook, despite the hardship.
But in her heart, she continued to plot to seize the space.
Because of Zhuang Feifei's wariness of her, it would be extremely difficult for her to obtain the last drop of blood. Zhuang Feifei possessed a spatial ability, and she could not possibly defeat her alone in the dark.
If it were in a public place, she would need to be confident that she could catch Zhuang Feifei. Confronting her head-on would be the dumbest thing to do, but she had another idea: to have someone else catch Zhuang Feifei for her, and then she could obtain Zhuang Feifei's blood.
However, this time we must be fully prepared to ensure success and not give Zhuang Feifei any chance to catch her breath.
