"Sister Kong, my darling, you are so kind."
The old man was generous to Grandma Zhu, and Grandma Zhu was generous to the old man too. They usually cooked three dishes and a soup. Occasionally, they would go to a restaurant and order some braised dishes or meat dishes.
Previously, Qin Xiang wouldn't let Old Lady Zhu take advantage of her. Over the past year, Qin Xiang had been in Beijing, while Xiao Yang managed the restaurant's affairs. Naturally, Xiao Yang was very attentive to Old Lady Zhu.
"Brother Xu, what brings you here again?"
"I went home, all alone. I just missed you..."
After the old man finished speaking, he started taking off his clothes again.
Old Mrs. Zhu had remained a celibate for many years. Although she had had fleeting affairs with men in the village in previous years, she was quite fond of this old man who had many tricks up his sleeve.
The old man said his ex-wife had passed away early, and he had been busy raising his children all these years, so he had no time to look for her. If he hadn't met Old Lady Zhu, he wouldn't have bothered looking anymore.
The old man also said that he was afraid Zhu Guoqiang would not agree, so they would continue to get along like this for now, and if Zhu Guoqiang agreed later, they would get married.
He will definitely give a dowry of 1,000 yuan, along with the "three turns and one sound" (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), a television, and so on.
In short, he would give young people whatever they wanted, and he would never let Old Lady Zhu's dowry be inferior to that of any other woman. The old man was quite the smooth talker.
After so many years of hardship, Old Lady Zhu was overjoyed to suddenly receive such kindness from an old man, a retired official who was so generous to her.
When Xiao Yang arrived, the old man and Grandma Zhu had just gotten out of bed.
Hearing the knock on the door, Old Lady Zhu hurriedly dressed and went to the courtyard gate.
Who is it?
Xiao Yang smiled and said when he heard Grandma Zhu's voice.
"Auntie, I bought some pastries today and was thinking of giving you some to eat."
Actually, it was Xiao Yang who discovered what was going on between Grandma Zhu and the old man, and she wanted to come and see for herself.
They lived next door, and when Grandma Zhu and Grandpa Zhu were doing their business, they didn't lower their voices, so Xiao Yang heard them.
Now, Xiao Yang treats Grandma Zhu like her mother-in-law, and is also afraid that Grandma Zhu will be deceived.
Upon hearing that she had bought pastries for her, Grandma Zhu opened the door, preparing to take the gifts and shoo Xiao Yang away.
The old man opened the door and came out.
Who is this?
The old man asked with a smile.
"Sister Kong, isn't this your daughter-in-law?"
Hearing the old man say that she was Old Lady Zhu's daughter-in-law, Xiao Yang was overjoyed.
Old Mrs. Zhu immediately denied it.
“This is my daughter-in-law’s adopted sister. My daughter-in-law is the daughter of a powerful family in the capital.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang's smile faded somewhat.
"Auntie, who is this old man?"
"He is my cousin from my maternal family. He came to see me today."
The old man smiled and nodded.
"Hello."
Xiao Yang looked at the old man and felt that he didn't seem like a good person, but she didn't dare to say anything at that moment.
"Then, ma'am and sir, please continue. I'm going home."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhu immediately closed the door.
The old man stepped forward and reached out to pinch Old Lady Zhu's hand.
Grandma Zhu cried out sweetly.
"what you do?"
"This young girl isn't your son's mistress, is she?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Old Mrs. Zhu immediately denied it. Although she had suspected it, she dared not admit it. Her son was in the military; his conduct could not be questionable.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I treat her like my own daughter. She had a boyfriend before, but they broke up."
