While Mei Si was "fighting," Wang Ce Lou's side hadn't had a moment's peace either.
At first, when Yu Guiping said she was going out for a stroll with her colleagues, Wang Ma didn't think much of it and gave Yu Guiping 2,000 yuan to eat well outside and not to mistreat herself.
Yu Guiping was quick to decide what to do; she and her colleagues bought train tickets for the next day and set off that night.
Wang Ma suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did they just leave like that? Shouldn't they at least prepare at home for a few days? Could they be scammers?
Wang Ma tried to persuade Yu Guiping not to go, but Yu Guiping wouldn't listen and was determined to leave. In the end, Wang Ma couldn't persuade Yu Guiping otherwise, so she saw her off on the train the next night.
Yu Guiping and her colleagues took a train for two days and two nights to reach S City. As soon as they got off the train and arrived at the guesthouse, Yu Guiping called Wang Ma to let her know that they had arrived safely.
Upon receiving the call, Wang Ma finally felt relieved after two days of worry. It seemed that Grandma Yu's colleague wasn't a fraud; she really had taken Grandma Yu to S City.
Seven or eight days later, Wang Celou received a call from Yu Guiping, who asked him and his father to pick her up at the train station the day after tomorrow.
Yu Guiping specifically instructed her son-in-law to borrow a car so that he and his son could buy platform tickets to pick her up when the train arrived at the station.
Wang Celou found it strange at the time. Did Grandma Yu buy a lot of things? Why would she need to borrow a car?
Mr. Wang was used to his mother-in-law's various strange requests; it was just borrowing a car, nothing serious.
Yu Guiping went out to play for about ten days with only a small bag, but when she came back, she brought back four large bags of things. The Wang family father and son were really surprised by Yu Guiping's purchasing power when they saw so many bags.
Buying so much stuff? Are things over there free?
No wonder they said they had to drive. With so much stuff, if they rode bicycles, the wheels would be crushed.
Wang Celou knew that his father was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off in front of his maternal grandmother; if he wanted to ask her anything, he was the one who had to do it.
"Grandma, what did you buy this time? Why did you buy so much?" Wang Celou asked, handing the kettle to Grandma Yu.
"It's nothing, just clothes and other necessities," Yu Guiping said casually, taking a sip of water.
Yu Guiping doesn't plan to tell her grandson the truth now. At her age, it's really shameful to be learning to do business.
Seeing that his grandmother was unwilling to say more, Wang Celou did not press her further.
"Patriotism, just take me home."
"Mom, why don't you stay at my house for the night before going back?" Wang's father said dryly.
“No, I’m going straight home,” Yu Guiping shook her head and refused.
“Grandma, you’ve been on the train for so long, you must want to get some sleep! Your room hasn’t been lived in for almost half a month, it’s probably covered in dust. I’ll go back with you tomorrow and help you clean it up. Why don’t you stay at my place tonight?” Wang Ce Lou persuaded.
“No need! I’m not tired. I’ve been lying down on the train for two days, and I’m full of energy right now! I’ve only been gone a few days, so I won’t get much dusty. I can wipe myself off.” Yu Guiping waved her hand, determined to go home.
Left with no other choice, the Wang father and son complied with Yu Guiping's request and took her home.
Yu Guiping is full of energy right now. She doesn't want to stay outside for even a second longer. She just wants to go home as soon as possible and make her business plans.
When Yu Guiping returned home, she waited for her grandson and son-in-law to carry the four bags into the small house before she started to chase them away.
"It's getting late, you should go home and get some sleep!" Yu Guiping said, standing at the door and placing her hand on the doorknob.
"..." Just as he sat down on the stool, intending to catch his breath, Mr. Wang had no choice but to stand up again.
"Grandma, do you really not need us to help you tidy up?" Wang Celou raised an eyebrow, slowly stood up, but didn't go towards the door.
"No need, no need! It's the middle of the night, you should go back to sleep!" Yu Guiping tugged at the door a few times, indicating that it was time for them to leave.
"Mom, we're leaving now." Dad glanced at his son, signaling him not to dawdle.
"Mmm-hmm." Yu Guiping waited for the father and son to leave, then forgot to say "goodbye" and slammed the door shut.
Wang Celou glanced at the closed door behind him and realized that Grandma Yu was acting very strangely this time; she was hiding something from them.
"Let's go home and get some sleep." Mr. Wang started the car and called his son to get in.
"Dad, Grandma's acting strange today," Wang Celou said, looking out the car window.
"If your grandma doesn't want to talk about it, we won't ask." Wang's father didn't want to upset his mother-in-law; if she got upset, it would be a disaster.
"My grandmother is so old, we shouldn't let her be fooled. It's best to ask her clearly," Wang Cailou said with a frown and concern.
“Your grandma is so shrewd, how could she be fooled? Impossible.” Wang’s father shook his head, feeling that his son’s worries were completely unnecessary.
Wang Celou was still a little worried, so as soon as he got home, he told his mother about Grandma Yu's unusual behavior and asked her to ask Grandma Yu about it when she had time.
Wang Celou: My grandmother doesn't want to talk to me, maybe it's because I'm a man. If her own daughter came over, she would be able to talk to me, right?
"Once I finish what I'm doing in the next couple of days, I'll have a few days off. I'll go stay at your grandma's house for a few days, and then I'll probably have a clear understanding of everything," said Wang Ma, tidying up the documents in her hand without looking up.
"Mom, how about I help you? Two people can get it done faster." Wang Cailou felt a pang of unease seeing his mother still working so late.
He suddenly began to doubt his goal of simply living a life of leisure and waiting to die.
When Wang Celou was reincarnated, he set this goal. At that time, he didn't think much about it. He just didn't want to die of exhaustion in his study like he did in his previous life.
