Li Jin'e tugged at Wang Huijun, signaling her to go out first.
"Fine, if Dad wants to do it, let him show off in front of Mom."
“But…” Wang Huijun hesitated, not thinking that Old Lady Wu wanted to see Huang Mancang fawning over her.
In recent years, the pig farm has grown bigger and bigger, and Grandma Wu even bought up all the land around the former pigsty and turned it into a pig farm.
Huang Xiaoguo and Huang Xiaomin are now spending all their time at the pig farm. If they hadn't hired help, they wouldn't be able to manage hundreds of pigs.
"Where's Mom? I haven't seen her for days."
Li Jin'e said "oh" and suddenly remembered that Old Lady Wu had gone to town and had been gone for several days.
She glanced at Huang Mancang's enthusiastic figure in the kitchen, then quietly pulled Wang Huijun away.
Grandma Wu, who was in Xishang Town, looked at the books on the table in front of her and asked, "What are you doing? Are you preparing review books for your child's college entrance exam?"
Grandma Wu raised an eyebrow at him. "What? Is this any of your business?"
The mole paused slightly, then said, "It's been over a decade. Shouldn't we at least show some concern for our partners?"
"I can't accept that, please don't."
Grandma Wu put the books into the basket on her back and said, "Goodbye."
"etc."
Watching Old Lady Wu's retreating figure, Groundhog slowly spoke, "Look, we've been cooperating for over ten years, and all this back and forth is such a hassle. Why don't you just sell us the prescription? We definitely won't let you lose out. What do you think of this once-and-for-all solution?"
Old Mrs. Wu turned around and looked at the man in front of her, whose appearance had aged considerably. She recalled that ever since she shattered the masks of his men, he had always shown his true face, from middle age to a face full of wrinkles, witnessing the passage of time.
Old Mrs. Wu suddenly chuckled, causing the mole to instinctively look at the eyes behind the mask. They were exceptionally clear and cold, without the slightest hint of turbidity, as if time had left no trace on her.
"To be honest with you, I don't have this prescription, nor do I know how to make it. I obtained it by chance, and it's been gone for many years. This may be the last time we do business together."
The groundhog was startled, thinking that it was because his rash request had displeased her that she wanted to terminate the cooperation.
"Don't be angry, let's talk this out. I was just saying, but the final decision is still yours, isn't it?"
Grandma Wu shook her head. "I'm not angry. I'm just telling you the truth. Besides, after so many years of nurturing, even if I can't live to be a hundred, I can live comfortably for twenty or thirty years."
After saying that, he turned and left.
What Grandma Wu didn't notice was that after she left, the groundhog bowed respectfully to the person who came out of the inner room.
"Uncle, this..."
"Our fate has run its course. She is no ordinary person; she hasn't changed at all in over a decade. This is beyond our reach. It's better to be on good terms than to be on bad terms."
"Maintain this connection; it might come in handy in the future."
"But she said this was the final deal, and it was uncertain whether we would ever see each other again."
"Cough cough cough..." The old man turned his head to look at the aged-looking ground squirrel in front of him. "That's why I said our fate has run its course. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. Maybe we'll meet again someday."
"Yes, Uncle..." Looking at the old man before him, the groundhog's eyes were filled with worry, "Your health...?"
"Life and death are predetermined..."
Old Mrs. Wu's figure moved through the black market, then she walked towards Shanyao Village with her bulging bundle on her back.
After more than a decade of development, Shanyao Village and Xishang Town are now connected by road, but Grandma Wu still prefers to take the back roads.
A person walks fast, and the surrounding air is still clear.
On her way home, Old Mrs. Wu glanced around the pigsty on the mountain and found nothing wrong. Just as she turned to leave, her gaze suddenly froze.
“Mancang, your business has grown so much that you’re now the richest man in our Shanyao Village.”
"Now that you've been exonerated, shouldn't you be in charge of the household? What kind of person are you to always let an old woman ride roughshod over you?"
Old Mrs. Wu hid under the shade of a tree, coldly watching Huang Mancang.
Suddenly, a chill ran down Huang Mancang's back. He scratched his back, leaving the people opposite him speechless.
"Look at you, I'm talking to you seriously."
"No, no." Huang Mancang turned his head and looked around, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he found nothing. "You don't know, my wife isn't human."
The group all scoffed, as if the woman in question were a human being.
"Alright, alright, just admit you're a coward, okay? You say your wife isn't human? Ours is an animal, are we scared?"
Huang Mancang waved his hand, muttering, "You don't know, you don't know."
The group turned around and spat on the ground in frustration. "You worthless piece of trash, let's go. You're not even a man, let alone having an extra two ounces of flesh in your crotch!"
Huang Mancang's eyes widened. What the hell did this have to do with whether he was a man or not?
He stared at the group as they left, and was about to turn back to the pigsty when he saw Old Lady Wu standing in the shade of a tree. He was struck dumb and stood frozen in place.
His eyes slowly swept around the surroundings. He hadn't seen anyone here before, so why were they suddenly appearing now...?
"young married woman......"
Grandma Wu frowned. "Just call me by my name."
Huang Mancang was taken aback. "Ming, Mingxia."
Grandma Wu turned and left immediately. Huang Mancang ran up to her, "Daughter-in-law, wife..." But when he caught a glimpse of Grandma Wu's eyes, he immediately changed his tune, "Mingxia, I don't know what those people wanted from me. I didn't say anything, not even a bad word about you."
"I'm not a human?"
Huang Mancang felt a bitter taste in his mouth. So he had heard it so long ago?
He followed behind Old Lady Wu, dejected and downcast.
Today, Huang Xiaoqiang was home as well, and he came face to face with Old Mrs. Wu as she entered the door. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Mom, you're back?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Huang Mancang behind him, who looked like he'd been through a frost, and he opened his mouth slightly.
Grandma Wu directly invited him over, walked into the courtyard, put down the bundle she was carrying on the ground, and took out a thick stack of books from it.
"I heard from the village secretary that the college entrance examination will be reinstated this year. See if anyone is interested. Here are all the test papers. If you want to register, just start practicing."
The four Huang brothers looked at each other, "Mom, we're all in our thirties, we're not young anymore..."
Grandma Wu said "Oh," and calmly announced, "I'm going to take the college entrance exam."
"There is no age limit for the first year of the college entrance examination; anyone who wants to take it can apply."
Huang Xiaoqiang glanced at Gu Qing beside him. The once naive girl and boy had shed their immaturity and revealed their composure.
"Mom, Xiaoqing and I want to register for the college entrance examination."
He didn't want to drive trucks for the rest of his life; while he was still young, he wanted to see if he could make a name for himself in the future.
The important thing is that he doesn't want Gu Qing to introduce him to him when she goes home in the future, saying that her man is a sports car owner.
