"Don't you know how I've treated you all these years? How can you think of me like this? We're both so old, how can we get pregnant?" The old lady wiped away imaginary tears.
"Oh God, you've been so unfair to me!" Old Guan cried out, lying on the bed in deep sorrow.
"Old man, let's live a good life together from now on, and be happy for the rest of our lives. Changshun will definitely take care of you in your old age, so don't worry." The old lady took the opportunity to try to hold the old man's hand.
“Grandma, my grandpa has me, why does he need someone else to take care of him in his old age?” Xiaoyu said.
The old lady looked at Xiaoyu with eyes like knives. "You're a girl, and you still have to get married. How can you take care of your grandfather? You've been gone for so many years, and your grandfather has relied on us to take care of him. He's gotten used to our care over the years, so don't worry."
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Our Guan family is a large and prosperous family. How could the lineage possibly end in my generation? Don't you agree, Grandma?"
The old woman squinted. "What do you mean? You're a girl, so doesn't that mean you're no longer a girl?"
"Nonsense! How could our Guan family line end with me? How can a girl not be a member of the Guan family? If she doesn't marry out, we'll take her in as a son-in-law." Old Man Guan didn't like hearing about the line ending. Xiaoyu was looking for a member of the Guan family, so there was no question of the line ending.
"Marry into the family? What good young man would be willing to marry into the family? Old man, don't ruin your child's life because of your obsession. Xiaoyu is so outstanding, she will definitely find a good young man to marry." The old lady reacted quickly, emphasizing the word "marry".
"He's an attending physician at a major hospital in Shanghai, a postdoctoral fellow, and his family are related to our elders through marriage. There are only a handful of such young men in the whole country. Otherwise, it would have to be my granddaughter. After so many years of searching, we've finally found the most outstanding and suitable candidate." Although Old Man Guan was showing off, he meant it sincerely. There was no one more suitable than Guan Bo. Even if he had to think about it, he could come up with such a suitable candidate.
The old lady opened her mouth slightly wider. "Is there any flaw in this arrangement for marrying into the family?"
Old Man Guan's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting? Are you just jealous of my success?"
"How could that be? I was just worried that Xiaoyu would be deceived. With such good conditions, what family would want their child to marry into the family?" the old lady said with a forced smile.
Old Man Guan snorted and raised his chin, "Didn't I say we're in-laws? Seeing it's me, they'd be willing to let their whole family marry into the family, let alone their children. Others may not know me, but they know me all too well."
If Grandpa Guan were here, he would definitely say, "Brother, you're right. Hurry up and arrange a house for our whole family."
The old woman forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Didn't you tell Changshun that you wanted him to take care of you in your old age?"
Old Man Guan waved his hand, "I was just joking. I have my own granddaughter, how could I let an outsider take care of me in my old age? My family business is so big, it must have an heir. If you could give me a son, sigh..."
The old lady's lips trembled as she said, "Didn't you say you treated Changshun like your own son?"
Old Man Guan: "What kind of talk is that? If you treat someone as your own son, then they're not really your own son. My dear wife, you're so naive. How could I possibly pass on the Guan family business to an outsider? I'd rather let it rot than betray our ancestors."
"What about the house? Didn't you say you'd give it to us?" the old woman persisted.
"When did I tell you that?" Old Man Guan retorted.
