Chapter 159 The Strange Old Man



When Hu Mingmei came out to the village entrance, Bai Nuo was busy helping Long Er collect money. Hu Mingmei walked over, took all the money from Bai Nuo's hand, and said softly, "Let me do it. It's windy here. You should go back and not catch a cold."

"But it's really disgusting!" Bai Nuo looked at the blood-stained stone slab next to her and frowned. "Don't you find it disgusting?"

Hu Mingmei has never done anything like this before. Are you sure you can handle it?

"Are you sure you can handle it? The smell of blood here is too strong. You should go back. Let me handle this." Bai Nuo said, without moving aside.

“I can do it!” Hu Mingmei nodded. “I don’t find it disgusting!” If she can do it, why can’t he? Hu Mingmei squeezed Bai Nuo’s hand and frowned when he saw that her hand was ice cold. “Stop nagging and go back. You’ll catch a cold if you stay any longer!” With that, Hu Mingmei didn’t give Bai Nuo a chance to refuse and pulled her out directly.

When the villagers who were buying meat saw Bai Nuo tugging at a boy, they couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Bai Nuo, who is this?"

Bai Nuo glanced at Hu Mingmei and replied with a smile, "My fiancé!"

"Oh my..." The villagers looked at Bai Nuo in surprise. "When did this happen? How come we didn't know anything about it?"

"It happened two months ago!" Bai Nuo said with a smile. "It was just a formality between the two parties, so we didn't have a big celebration. Second Master, this is my..." After Bai Nuo finished speaking with the villagers, he introduced the identities of each of them to Hu Mingmei.

Hu Mingmei called out to everyone one by one.

"What a polite child!" they laughed. "Bai Nuo, you are so lucky. This young master is not only polite, but also very handsome, and most importantly, he dotes on you!"

Bai Nuo just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Uncles and elders, just give me the money for the meat!" Hu Mingmei said with a smile.

Seeing that Hu Mingmei insisted on staying, Bai Nuo listened to Hu Mingmei and left with a bucket of pork offal.

When Bai Nuo went back and came out again, she was accompanied by Long Yi and Xia Donglai. The two men took away the remaining food and half a piece of pork.

"Nono!" While they were washing the pig offal, Grandma and Aunt Liu came over. Bai Nuo looked up at Grandma, waiting for her to continue.

“I just checked the situation over there. They have no food at all. Dalin isn’t home either. Let’s take some meat over there. She hasn’t eaten meat in a long time.”

"Anything is fine!" Bai Nuo said calmly. "She's pregnant, so drink more soup. Two pig's trotters are fine for her!"

"What's there to eat with two pig's trotters?" the old woman said casually. "They're rock hard. Take some meat instead!"

“That works!” Bai Nuo nodded. “She just paid for five catties of meat. Long Yi, come and cut the meat!”

"this......"

The old woman wanted to say something, but Bai Nuo quickly cut her off, "Grandma, it's cold outside, you should go inside first. I'll call you when it's time to eat!"

She knew what the old woman meant; she wanted to give Chen Qiuling more meat, afraid that her grandson would go hungry. However, while the old woman could disregard what had happened in the past and still want to take good care of Chen Qiuling for the sake of the child, she couldn't.

She couldn't pretend nothing had happened and continue taking care of Chen Qiuling.

She's not that saintly.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the grandmother and granddaughter was not good, Aunt Liu quickly said, "Grandma, let me take you home!" Without waiting for the old woman to speak, she quickly pushed her away.

Inside the room, the old woman said somewhat displeased, "Why did you call me back so quickly? I hadn't even finished speaking!"

After pouring a cup of tea for the old woman, Aunt Liu said, "Old lady, how could you be so confused? You know the young lady doesn't like the people over there, yet you still... Although the pork didn't cost any money, the young master still went to great lengths to bring it back. The young lady has never liked the people over there, how could she possibly be willing to give the meat to them?"

In her opinion, even if the white slave threw away all the pork, he would never give it to Chen Qiuling.

"I'm not worried about Chen Qiuling at all," the old woman said helplessly. "She's almost seven months pregnant, and Dalin isn't home to take care of her. What will I do if something happens to my grandson?"

"Even if you're unhappy today, I'm going to say it!" Aunt Liu said in a deep voice. "That one over there is only your grandson in terms of blood, but think about it, would Chen Qiuling really let her child call you 'Grandma'?"

If Chen Qiuling had such good intentions, why did she act this way before?

"Since you've been sick, has she come to see you even once? Every time you're not feeling well, she's been running around taking care of you. If you ask me, you've really hurt her feelings."

"But that..." The old woman wanted to say that he was, after all, her grandson, but Aunt Liu quickly interrupted her, "Bai Nuo and Bai Yu are your grandson and granddaughter. If they are born to the other side and they are filial to you, then you can accept them. If they are not filial to you, then just pretend that never happened!"

Why can't this person see things clearly when they get old? She keeps dragging Bai Nuo down; what if Bai Nuo doesn't want to talk to her anymore in the end?

The old woman wasn't angry when she heard what Aunt Liu said, but she asked with some doubt, "Is Nuonuo really angry? Surely not, she didn't do anything wrong."

"I'm definitely unhappy now, but I don't know if I'm angry or not!" Right now, she doesn't think Bai Nuo is angry, but she doesn't know if the old lady will take her side and give her food and drink, then Bai Nuo will really be angry.
