Chapter 152 Tingting, what do you want to say?
Thinking of this, she told Tan Chen her suspicions: "My grandmother's family used to be merchants. Do you think they might have any secret recipes or something like that?"
Tan Chen analyzed her words: "It's very possible. If grandma has some secret recipe or something, your uncle wouldn't be completely unaware of it. In this case, Shang Ruolan's abnormal behavior can be explained."
The two people's guesses at this moment are basically the same, and the next step is to consider how to solve this problem.
"Tell me, should I tell my grandma about our guess?"
Tan Chen nodded: "You can remind grandma, as for the rest, I think we should respect the old lady's wishes."
Shang Ruoting also thinks so. Everyone has their own privacy, and she would not do anything to dig into other people's privacy.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to grandma tonight."
The two of them discussed countermeasures here. It was time to finish the construction work. Tan Chen accompanied Shang Ruoting to return the cart to the chicken coop, and then the two returned home together.
Old Mrs. Shang had already prepared dinner. Since she wanted to talk about the old lady's privacy, she didn't say it in front of Tan Chen at the dinner table. It was not until before going to bed that Shang Ruoting went to the old lady's room.
"Tingting, it's so late, is there something wrong?"
Shang Ruoting took off her shoes and sat on Old Lady Shang's bed.
"Grandma, do you have anything secret that my uncle knows?"
When Mrs. Shang heard her words, her body stiffened and she blurted out the question.
"Tingting, what do you want to say?"
Shang Ruoting didn't want to beat around the bush when facing her grandmother.
"Grandma, Shang Ruolian suddenly showed her affection to you today, didn't you think of anything?"
Old Mrs. Shang's expression became even uglier.
“Could it be…could it be…”
When she said this, she held Shang Ruoting's hand and said, "Grandma knows what's going on. Don't ask about this anymore."
Shang Ruoting knew that Old Madam Shang was a shrewd person, and her vague words just now explained everything.
Since the old lady is already mentally prepared, she probably won't be fooled by any conspiracy or tricks of Shang Ruolan. This result is what she wants. As for other things, she doesn't intend to ask too much.
After making her purpose clear, Shang Ruoting knew that Old Madam Shang still had some things to think about, so she didn't stay to disturb her and went back to her room.
Coincidentally, the next day when she came out of the tofu shop and was about to go to the chicken coop, she met Shang Ruolan again.
This time, she came back from the village entrance, and with her was Shang Ruonan, who was holding a little boy's hand.
The two were talking about something, and the little boy was looking around.
Shang Ruoting quickly hid behind a big tree while they were not seeing her. After the two of them walked away, she quietly followed them, trying to see if she could hear any of their conversation.
She followed them all the way to the door of Shang's house. The two of them walked into the yard, but Shang Ruoting didn't hear any useful information.
She stood outside for a while, and when she was about to leave without any results, she saw Shang Ruonan coming into the yard with the little boy.
"Liangliang, play by yourself for a while. Mom will talk to your second aunt."
Liangliang nodded obediently and reached for the big rooster in the yard.
Shang Ruonan went back to the house, and only Liangliang was left in the yard.
Shang Ruoting already had an idea at this moment. She instantly transformed into the big bad wolf that turned right at the little white rabbit and walked outside the fence.
She waved to Liangliang: "Liangliang, come here to your aunt."
Liangliang is 5 years old this year. Although he is not very familiar with Shang Ruoting, he has seen her several times when he came to his grandmother's house, so he is not unfamiliar with this aunt.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance calling him, he walked over with his short legs. When he was about to call for help, Shang Ruoting made a gesture to him to keep quiet, and at the same time, a handful of candies appeared in one of her hands.
She continued the 'abduction' cautiously.
"Auntie, please give Liangliang some candy."
Liangliang stretched out his little hand and was about to take the candy in her hand, but Shang Ruoting retracted her hand slightly.
"Auntie will ask Liangliang a few questions. If Liangliang answers correctly once, I'll give you a piece of candy. How about that?"
Liangliang nodded: "Okay, ask!"
Shang Ruoting pointed in the direction of the house and asked, "Why is your mother going to grandma's house with your second aunt?"
When Liangliang heard this question, his little face wrinkled up and he looked like he was about to cry.
"I have no idea……"
Shang Ruoting quickly asked the next question to divert his attention, fearing that he would cry and alarm the two people in the room.
"What did Liangliang hear them say?"
Liangliang tilted his head and thought about it.
"My second aunt said the old man was immortal and that he had some good things. My mother said that if we got good things, we should share them equally."
"Also, you can't kill snakes in the grass. You have to find the right time."
Shang Ruoting tried hard to piece together every word Liangliang said.
The result of her analysis was that Shang Ruolian told Shang Ruonan that there were good things at Old Lady Shang's place, and Shang Ruonan agreed to help Shang Ruolian get the things on the condition that they would split them equally.
As for the three words "beat the snake in the grass", it should be to alert the snake and then find a good time to implement their plan.
