Chapter 226 The Double-Standard Old Man

Xu Hui also vaguely guessed something.

But she didn't dare to think too much or get excited. What if it was false? Wouldn't that make her very sad?

Xu Hui suppressed her emotions and said, "I am 42 years old."

Forty-two years old?

Old man Shou was stunned, and then a look of total despair fell on his face. His face, which had been energetic, was now full of frustration, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He staggered and felt his feet were empty.

If Zhu Suisui hadn’t been quick enough to hold the person, he would have fallen.

What happened?

Everyone looked at Old Man Shou.

Everyone in the Zhu family knew that Xu Hui was not the biological daughter of the Xu family. When she came to Happiness Lane, she was only three years old and had no memory of her previous life.

She was naive and ignorant, and was dragged to Chai Meihua, calling this strange woman her mother for thirty-nine years.

During these years, she only had one year of good life, which was when she first entered the family. Because Chai Meihua had no children, she treated her as her own daughter. But unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Hui came, Chai Meihua became pregnant. The following year, she gave birth to a big fat boy. Gradually, she started to treat her badly.

When she was twenty years old, she was married off.

She gave birth to Zhu Lesheng, Zhu Lechen, and Zhu Suisui in succession.

Now I have my own family. Even though life is hard, at least there is someone who loves me.

Xu Hui never thinks about her own life experience because she is afraid that if she thinks too much about it, she will be sad when she learns the truth.

But now, a strange old man was looking at her like this, and she wondered if he could be her father.

If that's the case, judging from the old man's appearance, he doesn't really want to be mine, right?

Old Man Shou barely held up his body and looked at Xu Hui carefully. After a while, he burst into tears: "It looks like... but the age doesn't match..."

This scared everyone.

When Zhu Suisui heard this, he hurriedly said, "Grandpa Shou, what do you mean? Who are you talking about? My mother's age may not be accurate. The people who sent her here didn't know her exact age. They just thought she was three years old because she looked like she was three years old. If she was only one or two years old, the age would be correct."

She had always felt that Old Man Shou had a secret, and now seeing him like this, she felt it even more.

This is probably related to your mother.

Xu Hui is an orphan. If Zhu Sui can help her find her biological parents, it will be considered that Zhu Sui has fulfilled her filial duty as a daughter.

Old Lady Zhu also spoke at this time, her tone a little more earnest, "Yes, Huihui is a poor child, she has been without parents since she was young, we all want to help her find them, Brother Shou, if you know anything, please tell me as soon as possible."

Seeing everyone in the Zhu family looking nervous and expectant, Old Man Shou was also moved.

He could relate.

How nice it would be if this young lady in front of me was really my own daughter.

Then he will no longer be alone and helpless, and his life will be fulfilled.

Unfortunately not.

Old Man Shou recalled the painful memories and closed his eyes in great sorrow. "But my lost daughter, if I remember correctly, should be only 37 years old this year. I also want it to be you, but you are five years apart in age. It would be better if you were younger than her..."

In other words, when Xu Hui was sent to Happiness, his daughter had not yet been born.

How could it be the same person?

Hearing this.

Xu Hui also felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She was swaying all over and could not even stand.

Zhu Xingguo was quick to act and immediately hugged the person.

He asked nervously, "Huihui, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay." Xu Hui shook her head. She was unable to breathe for a moment. When her expectations were too high, the truth she got was different from what she expected. She couldn't accept it at the time and naturally reflected it to her body.

But it's much better now.

She had never thought of looking for her background.

First, I was afraid that I was abandoned. Second, I thought that since the time was so chaotic, my parents might have died long ago, and I became an orphan.

No matter which one it is, Xu Hui doesn't want to face it.

If it weren't for the appearance of Old Man Shou, which gave her hope and aroused her desire for family affection, she wouldn't have done so.

Now I speak slower, which is better than before.

The main thing is that I have been mentally prepared.

However.

This is a situation that no one wants to see.

Even Wu Wenrou, as an outsider, felt uncomfortable.

If it were me, I would feel so pitiful.

Wu Wenrou pursed her lips and felt like crying.

Zhu Lechen, who was beside him, was a little confused when he saw this. He whispered, "Why are you crying?"

Wu sniffed softly, her eyes red like a rabbit, "I feel bad for Auntie."

Zhu Lechen: “…”

A bit more empathy.

But it can be seen that this is a kind and gentle girl at heart.

Zhu Lechen thought so.

Old Man Shou did not stay any longer. He left without even eating his noodles.

Seeing this.

Old Lady Zhu sighed, "It seems like he is a miserable person. Being alone without a wife and children is completely different from being alone with a wife and children."

The former is lonely at best, but the latter is a lifelong sorrow.

I am afraid that I will wake up in the middle of the night and be unable to sleep because of the pain. Even my dreams will be uncomfortable.

Old Man Shou was obviously unwilling to say it, and they couldn't ask others, as that would be exposing their scars.

Zhu Suisui looked at the cold noodles and said, "Grandpa Shou hasn't eaten the noodles yet. Should we send them to him?"

When you get older, being hungry is not good for your health.

Mrs. Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Make another bowl and send it over. This one is cold."

Zhu Suisui responded.

I also made a portion of fried noodles with soybean paste for someone.

But someone knocked on the door just now and said that they had sent him some noodles with soybean paste.

From inside came the old man's hard voice, "No, no, don't disturb me."

Zhu Suisui: “…”

This temper is back again.

At this time.

There was a sound behind me.

"Let me do it."

It’s Xu Hui.

Zhu Suisui turned around and looked at her, explaining, "Mom, Grandpa Shou doesn't want to eat at all. He has a bad temper and is very willful. I'm afraid he doesn't want to eat."

Xu Hui took the bowl and said with a smile, "How can you give up so quickly? Moreover, although your grandfather and I are not father and daughter, I definitely look a lot like his daughter or wife. This is also fate. He has no daughter, and I have no parents. Now we can live under the same roof by such a coincidence. I think I can take care of him more, so I will."

Let's put it this way.

It is fate indeed.

Zhu Suisui had no choice but to let Xu Hui try.

Xu Hui knocked on the door and said softly, "Uncle Shou, it's me. Eat something. Sui Sui made this specially for you. It's not good to be hungry."

This is actually similar to what Zhu Suisui said before.

Zhu Suisui felt that Old Man Shou would definitely not pay any attention to him and might even say something unpleasant.

Who knows.

Shou Laotou is such a double standard.

The door opened with a click.
