Chapter 271 What do you think of Su Nuan?
Ling Yun followed Ling Cang to the old lady's room. The old lady's residence was not big and was a temporary house. There was a charcoal stove in the room.
It will take two months for the north to truly warm up, and older people are afraid of the cold, so she was allowed to live in a small house to keep warm.
The old lady glanced at Ling Yun and said calmly, "You've grown taller."
Ling Yun knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, "Grandma, your grandson is back."
The old lady smiled and said, "Well, you're glad to be back. Besides your face, you've gotten a lot stronger during your time away. Are things going well for you?"
Ling Yun stood up and said with a smile: "Thanks to grandma, everything is going well for me."
He looked at Ling Cang, not knowing what he meant by bringing him to see his grandmother.
Ling Cang said, "Grandma, I want Xiaoyun to marry Su Nuan."
The old lady remained calm, but her question was pointed, "Is Su Nuan willing to marry?"
The two brothers looked at each other. When they discussed this issue, they didn't consider whether Su Nuan was willing or not.
Seeing them like that, the old lady sneered, "You guys are only thinking about your own interests. You haven't really considered Su Nuan."
Ling Cang hesitated and said, "But she has already married into the Ling family and is the daughter-in-law of the Ling family. If she marries someone else, will they not care about her past?"
"Besides, even if the divorce is amicable, the woman will still be criticized. No matter how strong her character is, she will still be sad."
Ling Yun also agreed: "That's right, no matter what, she is still a member of the Ling family, so no one will say anything."
The old lady looked at them with a smile, and her wise eyes gradually turned cold.
"Do you think Su Nuan is afraid of having a bad reputation?"
Ling Cang was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady raising her hand.
The old lady continued, "What do you think Su Nuan is? A servant of the Ling family? Or a possession of the Ling family?"
"Let me ask you, does Nuannuan lack people who like her? Does she care what others think of her? Does she care about rumors?"
"And, most importantly...what you think is good for her, she doesn't need. You're so moved by something she doesn't need that you're really stupid."
The two brothers were stunned by the old lady's scolding, and they still couldn't see clearly where they went wrong.
The old lady picked up the kettle on the charcoal stove and poured a glass of water. She pointed at the glass and said, "I'm a little thirsty now, but I won't drink it. I want to give this glass of water to you."
"Look at me, how much I care for the younger generation? Why don't you say thank you to me out of gratitude?"
Ling Yun frowned and said, "Grandma, I'm not thirsty. If you are thirsty, drink it yourself. I don't need it."
Ling Cang was older after all, so he understood what she meant. A look of shame appeared on his face, "Grandma, I understand."
Ling Yun still didn't understand and asked, "Brother, what do you understand?"
Ling Cang said: "Su Nuan lacks nothing, and is even very wealthy."
He paused and said, "Xiaoyun, I'm being narrow-minded. Don't even think about marrying Nuannuan from now on."
Ling Yun became anxious upon hearing this, frowned and asked, "Why?"
Ling Cang sighed, "We were wrong. Su Nuan is a person, and someone who has done us a favor. Why should we treat her like a commodity and push her around?"
Ling Yun was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Ling Cang looked at the old lady. Now only the old lady was the most fair person.
The old lady took a sip from her teacup and said, "People know whether the water they drink is hot or cold. Why bother to plan her future?"
"What you need to do is be good to her. Only when you are sincere will she return your sincerity."
"If one day Su Nuan falls in love with a man outside the Ling family, I will still bless her and give her a dowry."
These words immediately woke Ling Cang up, and he said shamefully, "Grandma, I know what to do."
Ling Yun was still a little confused and asked, "How do I do it?"
Ling Cang said: "If you have the ability to make her fall in love with you, you can marry her. If not..."
A sneer appeared on his lips, "Then get out of here."
Ling Yun was confused. His elder brother had been speaking in a nice tone just now, but why was he now so full of disgust?
Could it be that he felt that he didn't have the ability? Would Su Nuan not be interested in him?
Thinking of this, he felt very depressed, and a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat surged up in his heart.
The old lady suddenly put the cup down heavily and said with a cold face, "Actually, we have talked about this before. You'd better not be ungrateful. I hope this is the last time I remind you."
Ling Yun immediately bowed and saluted, "Grandson will remember grandma's teachings!"
When the old lady saw him calling her grandmother, she knew that he had taken the matter completely to heart.
She smiled kindly and said, "Well, you should find something to do. People will only be truly happy when they are busy. Pretending to smile is too hypocritical."
As she spoke, she showed a weak expression again, "Alas... I'm old, and I don't know how long I can live.
The smile on Ling Cang's face froze. Everyone thought he was very happy, but only his grandmother could see the confusion in his heart.
Ling Yun was still a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask anything when he saw the frail old lady.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. The old lady didn't look at her two grandsons kindly, and her disdain was obvious.
Su Nuan's voice came from outside, "Grandma... Grandma... help me quickly."
The old lady stood up quickly and walked out briskly.
Ling Yun and Ling Cang felt that the wind created by the old lady's walking was hitting their faces.
They stared blankly at the old lady's back. This...weak?
I saw Su Nuan holding a big basket, the things inside were so high that they blocked Su Nuan's cheeks.
The old lady said distressedly: "You little girl, you have so many grown men to work with, but you insist on holding it yourself. What if you drop it?"
Su Nuan giggled, "Grandma, the temperature over there is very good. I brought you some fruit."
The old lady wanted to help, but she was powerless with such a big basket, so she turned around and glared at her two grandsons.
Ling Cang and Ling Yun instantly felt a murderous aura coming towards them. They hurried over to take the basket and put it on the ground.
Su Nuan took the bags inside and put them on the table one by one.
Ling Yun opened one out of curiosity, and inside was a bunch of black grapes.
He couldn't help but pick one and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and juicy, without any sour taste.
The old lady instantly got furious, "That's Nuannuan showing filial piety to me, get out of here."
Ling Yun looked at the old lady with grievance, "Everyone else's grandmother gave the delicious food to their grandchildren, but you're not happy when I only eat one."
Su Nuan said with disdain: "You are so young and yet you are fighting with an old lady for food."
Ling Cang quickly withdrew his hand and looked at his brother with a gloating look.
The old lady asked, "Nuannuan, is that mountain far away? I want to live there in my old age."
Ling Yun said, "Point me in a direction. I'll go see what's so magical about that mountain."
Su Nuan felt nervous. If she let them go to the mountain, wouldn't she be exposed?
