Sang Shen entered the room and saw Bu Ling looking lost in thought. He closed the door, approached Bu Ling, and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "Ling Ling?"
Bling reached out and grabbed his hand: "What are you doing?"
Mulberry was pulled along and sat down next to Bling. "What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."
He lay down, but Bu Ling sat up instead, kicked off his cotton shoes, and lay completely flat: "What else could I be thinking about? It's about Old Madam Shi being caught cheating."
Sangshen took a blanket and covered Buling with it: "Don't catch a cold."
Then he added, "If you're curious, I'll go and find out tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask Sister Yuanyuan about it tomorrow too." Buling rolled over: "Speaking of which, we've only been here a short time, and the courtyard is already so lively~" What a mistake!
After lying down for a while, Sangshen sat up. "I'll go to the kitchen to get some hot water. It's time to wash my feet."
Bling didn't answer, but just stretched her feet out of the blanket: "Just wash like this, I'm too lazy to sit up."
Sangshen affectionately pinched her nose: "You're so lazy!"
Bling slapped his hand away: "Get off me! Don't touch me."
Sangshen wasn't annoyed. She gave her a big kiss on the lips, then strode away, leaving Buling rolling her eyes on the kang (heated brick bed).
While washing her feet, Sangshen said, "If you want, we can go back to the compound tomorrow and stay for two days. After we've seen the excitement, we'll move back."
Upon hearing his words, Bling sat up slightly and asked, "Is that alright?"
Mulberry looked up and asked, "What's wrong with that?"
"I mean, Grandpa's still here, so why don't we stay here?" Buling was very tempted by this suggestion.
Sangshen dried Buling's feet and tucked them into the blanket: "It's okay, Grandpa will understand."
Buling looked him over carefully and, seeing that he was serious, said, "Okay, let's go back and stay for two days, then come back after we've seen the excitement." She really wanted to see the excitement.
It's not that older people can't have a romantic relationship in their later years, but the age gap between a woman in her sixties and a man in his late forties is quite significant.
Moreover, Hu Sigu is a shameless scoundrel. What's the point of him having an affair with an old lady with small eyes?
Without realizing it, she asked the question aloud.
Sangshen first helped Buling up and took off her coat. "She must have something to do with it."
"Then tell me, what's the point?" Buling cooperated by raising her hand and stretching her leg.
"They're after money, or food. But they can't be after her because she's old, can they?" Sangshen hesitated for a moment before answering.
Buling also thought it was probably for money, but she was curious: "How much money could an old lady like Grandma Shi have?"
"You forgot, there's also Aunt Qi," Sangshen reminded her.
“That’s true!” Bling agreed.
To be honest, Old Mrs. Shi doesn't have much money, but the Qi family is rich. The Qi family has several workers, and Aunt Qi is in charge of the household, so she must have a lot of money.
With Old Mrs. Shi's cunning, fooling Aunt Qi was incredibly easy.
"This old lady is really redefining my understanding of her every day!" Buling yawned, sighing.
Mulberry nodded in agreement, "That's right, I've really seen it for myself."
To be honest, he always thought he had seen enough in Kyoto during those years, but after moving into the compound, he realized that he was still a frog in a well.
Although the people in Kyoto were crazy, most of them were doing it for so-called 'important things,' but what he saw was all the chaos caused by profit.
Completely different from the compound now, the compound was just like the life of ordinary families. They would argue about water bills or quarrel over a lost piece of firewood, but the neighbors were also full of human kindness, helping and supporting each other.
In the past, these were all trivial matters in Sangshen's eyes, but since marrying Buling, he has learned to be more calculating and to live a more fulfilling life.
In other words, the celestial prince has descended to earth and come down to earth.
Seeing that Sangshen was lost in thought, Buling tugged at his cheek: "Don't think about it, go to sleep. Remember to tell Grandpa tomorrow."
Sangshen snapped out of his reverie, met Buling's gaze, and nodded: "Okay, go to sleep early." After saying that, he stretched out his arm to hug Buling and patted her back.
Bling moved his head, shifted to a more comfortable position, and closed his eyes.
The next morning, when Sangshen got up, Aunt Fang had already prepared breakfast. As she ate the steaming millet porridge, Sangshen exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "A child with a father is a treasure."
Grandpa Sang, who was returning from his walk, overheard this and asked, "Little Seven, what nice things are you saying about Grandpa again?"
Sangshen stood up and helped Grandpa Sang sit down opposite her: "I'm telling you, a child with a grandfather is a treasure."
Grandpa Sang's brows relaxed, and he felt extremely pleased. He pretended to scold him, saying, "You little rascal, all you know how to do is flatter your grandpa."
Sangshen smiled without saying anything and continued drinking her porridge. "Oh, by the way, Grandpa, Lingling and I will sleep in the compound tonight."
Grandpa Sang's smile froze. Before he could say anything, Sang Zhen continued, "We'll share the rest of what happened to the old lady last night with you when we get back!" He made no attempt to hide his gossip.
Looking at his beloved grandson whose eyes were shining, Grandpa Sang could hardly remember what Xiao Qi was like in Kyoto. However, as long as his grandson was happy, that was all that mattered: "Go ahead, and remember to share with Grandpa when you get there."
Mulberry smiled and said, "Okay!"
After finishing his meal, Sangshen pushed his bicycle to take Buling to work. After dropping Buling off, he leisurely rode his bicycle to work himself.
