Chapter 133

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

The child has a baby voice and judging from the voice, he should be about the same age as Lanhua.

Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing looked over and saw a woman standing in the yard scolding a child.

The child looked no more than three years old, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

When Zhou Laoer's wife saw Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan, her triangle eyes were full of confusion.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Grandma Lanhua."

Lu Huaijing didn't want to communicate with this person. He raised his eyes and looked towards the room where the coughing occurred.

I guess the person living inside is Grandma Lanhua.

Zhou Laoer's wife glanced at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing with a shrewd look, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You are my brother's comrade-in-arms, right? Please come in, please come in."

She said that the man looked familiar, and it turned out that he was the one who had come to see the old woman before.

My eldest brother has many comrades-in-arms, and they always bring something when they come.

Her greedy look fell on Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing's bicycles, and Tang Wan clenched the bag in her hand.

"Yes."

Lu Huaijing nodded and took Tang Wan into the house, while Zhou Laoer's wife smiled flatteringly.

"Look at you, you just come, why bring anything with you?"

As he said this, he was about to take the things in Tang Wan's hand, but Tang Wan avoided him with a smile.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, but I can lift it myself."

She seemed not to understand what Zhou Laoer's wife said, and followed Lu Huaijing to the side room.

Zhou Laoer's wife was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she endured it and didn't lose her temper.

She wanted to see what good things they brought.

Pushing open the door of the very small room, Tang Wan saw an old man with a sallow complexion lying on the bed.

The old man's eyes were sunken and he looked listless, but when he saw Lu Huaijing, he forced a smile.

"Xiao Lu is here."

"aunt."

Lu Huaijing felt depressed. The old lady was not very old, even younger than his mother.

He is now in his fifties, but he looks like an octogenarian.

The room was not big and could only accommodate a small bed, with the rest of the space filled with miscellaneous items.

Although it was so, it was not dirty inside and was cleaned tidy and sparse by Aunt Zhou.

It seems that Aunt Zhou is a hard-working person.

Zhou Laoer's wife stretched her neck to come in, and Tang Wan smiled at her, "Sister-in-law, your baby fell down."

She pointed at the little boy in the yard. The boy seemed to be only a year old and walked unsteadily.

Zhou Laoer's wife cried out in surprise, "You little bitch, why don't you keep an eye on your brother!"

She screamed and walked away. Tang Wan slammed the door shut and turned to smile at Aunt Zhou.

"Auntie, the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell many fruits, so we only sold a few ugly apples and some brown sugar."

She handed the bag in her hand to Aunt Zhou's bed. She was just sick, not really unable to get out of bed.

Aunt Zhou nodded gratefully, "Xiao Lu, this is your daughter-in-law, she's very pretty."

She also thought of her eldest son, who had the most promising future and married a beautiful wife.

Unfortunately, the eldest son was unlucky and died at a young age.

"Yes, this is my daughter-in-law. I brought her here for you to see."

Lu Huaijing watched Aunt Zhou slowly get out of bed, then held onto the cupboard and went over to pour them some water.

Suddenly, they couldn't talk about the orchid.

After all, the woman outside was so cruel that even his own daughter didn't love her.

Not to mention being nice to orchids.

"Auntie, we came here after drinking some water. No need to bother you."

Tang Wan held Aunt Zhou's hand, and Aunt Zhou forced a smile, "Okay.

I just happened to be feeling unwell these few days and I’m afraid that my illness will pass on to you, so I won’t pour you any water.”

"We're not thirsty."

Lu Huaijing sighed. Aunt Zhou sat by the bed and couldn't help wiping away tears when she thought of the only granddaughter left by her eldest son.

"Xiao Lu, how is Lanhua these days? Has she grown taller again?

I have been feeling a little unwell lately and haven’t visited them for a long time.”

It seems that she doesn't know that Xu He is going to remarry.

Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to start talking.

Aunt Zhou was a smart woman. She quickly noticed the two people's eye contact and asked:

"Did something happen to Lanhua?"

After her eldest son passed away, although Aunt Zhou could no longer help take care of the baby, she would take time to visit her granddaughter from time to time.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Lanhua is fine."

Tang Wan was afraid that Aunt Zhou would be sad, so she kept saying this, and Lu Huaijing nodded.

"Yeah, she's fine."

"That's good, that's good."

Aunt Zhou's face was filled with sorrow, "Lanhua is a poor child.

Xu He has to go to work every day, so I guess she can't take care of her. It's a pity that I can't help her."

There are a lot of things to do at home, and she has grandchildren to take care of, so Aunt Zhou can't spare so much time.

Seeing that she looked clueless, Tang Wan asked tentatively, "Auntie, Comrade Xu He is still so young.

If she wants to remarry, would you agree?"

Some elderly people still listen to feudal ideas and hope that their daughters-in-law will take care of their sons.

But Aunt Zhou was fine, she smiled and said, "If she can find a man who treats her well, I have no objection.

It’s just that my Lanhua is so pitiful. It would be great if that man could accept other men.

I have a pension, and I can give it all to Xu He so that they can raise Lanhua."

"You have the pension?"

Tang Wan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Xu He, who was unwilling to take care of her daughter, actually didn't ask for the man's pension.

This shows that she was nice to the old man at first, at least she was remembering the good things her husband had done for her.

"Um."

Aunt Zhou nodded and said, "The subsequent compensation will be paid out every month, and I will ask them to split it into two payments.

I'll give one to them and the other to myself. When Lanhua grows up, I'll buy her some things."

This is the only thing she can do as a grandmother.

She lowered her voice, fearing that the troublemaker outside might hear her.

Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing expressed their understanding, but Aunt Zhou was not stupid. When she heard them say that, she immediately guessed what was going on.

"Has Xu He found a suitable marriage partner? Is that man good to Lan Hua?"

Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing were stunned. Zhang Chunlin didn't even know about Lanhua.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Seeing that they were silent, Aunt Zhou became anxious and asked, "Is he not nice to Lanhua?"

"no."

Tang Wan sighed, but she didn't hide it from her, "You also know that it's hard to find a partner for a second marriage.

Those men didn’t allow Xu He to marry Lan Hua, so…”

"So the man didn't know about the existence of orchids."

Seeing that Tang Wan was having trouble speaking, Lu Huaijing simply said it all in one breath.

Hearing this, Auntie Zhou's eyes turned red and her voice trembled, "What about Lanhua?

My poor Lanhua, your mother doesn’t love you anymore without your father around, what should you do in the future?”

These words were heard by Zhou Laoer's wife who had just come over to eavesdrop, and she banged on the door frantically.

"Mom, what's going on?"
