Old Man Guan: "What are you talking about? With your brother's brains, trying to mess with him is just a game. He'll only fall for it."
"You've blown your own horn to the heavens."
"Mancang, quickly show your dad the property certificate, let him see the facts, and see if he really thinks I've been working for nothing all these past ten years," Old Man Guan boasted smugly.
"Xiaoyu, tell me what happened." The old man didn't believe Guan's nonsense. Zhou wasn't completely stupid either. The matter had already been exposed, so how could he possibly give the house to Guan?
Old Man Guan coughed and told Xiaoyu to watch her words and mainly praise him.
"What's wrong? Are you thirsty? Have some water." The old man pushed the large tea mug over.
Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled.
Xiaoyu smiled and briefly explained the situation.
The old man glanced at the old man and knew that the old man had worked for nothing for more than ten years. Without that host, the money for each person would have to be split in half with the Zhou family.
Old Guan chuckled dryly, "If I hadn't acted so well, would that Zhou guy have been so quick to agree?"
The old man curled his lip and said, "You arrange for someone to live in that house yourself. The Zhou guy won't move out so easily. If he finds out he's been scammed, he'll come after you and sue you."
"Looking for me? Where can he find me? Let him sue me if he wants. I didn't force him to sign the agreement. It was all voluntary and notarized. There's no use going back on his word. Adults have to accept the consequences of their bets. If I lose, I'll lose my life. He'll just lose some material possessions. That's too good for him." Old Man Guan was still not satisfied.
The old man... Zhou Changshun knew he had been deceived, and living was more painful than dying.
"What's wrong with Xiao Liu?" Old Guan asked, noticing that Sister Liu's eyes were as bright as light bulbs.
The loudmouth recounted everything Cao Jun had done.
Old Man Guan smacked his lips. This son was even more hateful than Zhou Changshun. Zhou Changshun had schemed against him for over ten years, but this guy just took advantage of being his biological son and schemed without any scruples, completely disregarding his own mother's feelings.
Old Guan's eyes darted around: "Well, how about you come live with me, Little Liu?"
Everyone present picked at their ears, wondering if they had misheard. What had they heard?
Sister Liu's face flushed red. "Uncle Guan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Old Guan chuckled twice. "Don't call me Uncle. I'm not that much older than you. I'm serious. If you marry me, I'll protect you!"
The loudspeaker snapped its jaw shut. "Uncle Guan, you're not kidding, are you? This can't be taken lightly."
The more Old Man Guan thought about it, the more suitable it seemed. "Who would joke about this? I'm serious. We're both from the same family, and we know each other pretty well. With me protecting her, if that bastard son of hers dares to make a move on her again, I'll fire him."
"Uncle Guan, please don't talk nonsense. I'm already so old, I don't want to find a partner." Sister Liu's face turned red, and she felt hot. If she said such a thing, she wouldn't be able to come anymore.
The Li family looked at Sister Liu and then at Old Man Guan.
"Old Guan, are you really not joking?" the old lady asked. Although Old Guan was unreliable, he had never made such an outrageous joke before.
"I'm serious. She's alone, and so am I. Although we're a bit older, if we take good care of our health, we should be able to live another ten or six months. We'll have each other's company."
Her son dares to do this and that, isn't it just because he's bullying her because she's helpless and alone? A woman's life is hard enough; she comes into this world like a guest, staying temporarily at her father's house for a few years, then at her husband's house for a few years, and finally settling down at her son's house.
"Isn't that how his son manipulates her? If I die first, I'll leave you money for your retirement, and my descendants will definitely take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days." Old Man Guan put away his smile and said seriously.
Sister Liu burst into tears, leaning against Wu Zhiqi and sobbing. These words touched her deeply, as if they were describing her entire life. She had been strong-willed her whole life, so why didn't she dare to completely break with her son? In the end, she still had to rely on him.
The women present were all carefully considering Old Man Guan's words, as if they were describing their own lives.
