Chapter 325: Over a Hundred Years Old
The giant sea turtle just happened to open its eyes at this moment, saw the people around it, and then closed its eyes again.
"Look, look, for that girl's sake, I'll let you see as much as you can. Humans are truly unworldly. My family is full of giant sea turtles."
When the Empress Dowager saw the giant sea turtle open its eyes, she was immediately excited. "Li'er, look, this is a living giant sea turtle, a real giant sea turtle. It's too big, I guess even an adult can't hold it. I don't know how old it is."
Seeing the Empress Dowager dancing with joy like a child, Xiao Xuanli said softly, "She must be at least a hundred years old."
The Empress Dowager was shocked. "Over a hundred years old? Then it's even older than me."
Song Chuman glanced at the patterns on the turtle's shell and said, "Madam, each pattern on this turtle represents one year of its life. Look, there are hundreds of patterns on it, so it must be over a hundred years old."
The Empress Dowager was stunned. She carefully counted the patterns and nodded. "There are indeed hundreds of them. You really know a lot, girl."
Song Chuman smiled and said, "Thanks to my father for teaching me to read, I read that in the book."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager became even more convinced that Song Hexiu's family were experts.
She was really curious about the giant turtle, so she didn't say much and just watched the turtle quietly from the side.
Xiao Xuanli looked at Song Hexiu and said, "Uncle Song, I'm sorry, my grandmother likes this turtle, so she wants to take a closer look."
Song Hexiu smiled and said, "Go ahead and watch. It's okay. There's hot tea here. If you feel tired, you can take a rest."
Xiao Xuanli: "Thank you very much."
The Empress Dowager also expressed her gratitude: "Thank you very much."
Song Chuman pulled Xiao Xuanli aside and said, "Brother Li, you said this is your grandmother, and you keep saying you're going to die?"
Xiao Xuanli nodded: "Yes."
Song Chuman sighed: "Your grandmother is so young. If you don't tell me she is your grandmother, outsiders will really think she is your mother."
The Empress Dowager beside her was immediately delighted when she heard this.
This child really knows how to talk.
Xiao Xuanli: "Grandma is indeed young, she takes good care of her face."
Song Chuman asked casually, "What about your mother?"
Xiao Xuanli's eyes dimmed a little, and he smiled bitterly, "My mother is the opposite of my grandmother. She's only in her twenties, but she looks like she's in her forties or fifties."
That must be a disease, right?
Song Chuman blamed herself: "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sad story."
Xiao Xuanli suddenly laughed, "You are really good at reading people's expressions."
Song Chuman said proudly: "That's right, my family all have this kind of foresight."
Xiao Xuanli also smiled, and suddenly saw a lot of people in the open space in the distance, and asked, "Have you started construction on your house?"
Song Chuman: "Yeah."
Xiao Xuanli had excellent eyesight. Even from here, he could see Li Cuicui and her grandchildren in the open space. He walked a few steps forward and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are those three people doing?"
Song Chuman said, "My grandmother sat on the ground with her two beloved grandchildren, saying that if my family didn't give her a hundred taels of silver, she would refuse to eat or drink, and let my family bear the blame of starving her to death and be condemned by everyone."
Xiao Xuanli: "She really is capable of doing this. She doesn't even care about her reputation anymore."
Song Chuman: "Yes, her sons and grandsons have been spoiled by her. They only know how to pick up ready-made things. Song Chujin and Song Chuyin have such a grandmother. Their lives are ruined."
