Shu Jiaying didn't rush to answer. She asked, "Auntie Ke, you said Guoyi passed away. What's going on?"
As soon as Shu Guoyi was mentioned, Mrs. Ke immediately blamed herself and cursed, "Wuwuwu... It's all my fault, wuwuwu... If I hadn't insisted on coming to the capital to see Zhenmeng, Guoyi wouldn't have had an accident at home alone. I don't know how he died. When your father and I returned home, we saw him lying on the ground. He... He was gone just like that..."
When Old Man Shu thought of his son's death, he couldn't help but take out his pipe.
Ke immediately nudged him with his elbow.
"Old man, be careful, this is not our Guangming Village."
Seeing Ke’s nervous look, Shu Jiaying knew that she was frightened by Li Fengming.
Shu Jiaying said, "It's okay. We're on the street here, no one will tell anyone."
"Look, my daughter said everything is fine, but you are the one who is making trouble!"
Only then did Old Man Shu light up his pipe with confidence.
Mrs. Ke curled her lips and stayed aside obediently.
Knowing that Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke were uncomfortable, Shu Jiaying changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where are you two living now?"
"Stay at the inn."
"Oh, what are your plans after this?"
Ke looked at Old Man Shu with a confused look on his face.
"Old man, tell me!"
call……
Old Man Shu blew out a smoke ring and said, "Originally, I was planning to ask Zhenmeng if she could help us find a cheaper house. After all, we don't have any ties in Guangming Village anymore, and you and Zhenmeng are both in the capital. We were thinking that if we moved there too, we would be closer to you two sisters."
"Is that so?"
Old Man Shu thought Shu Jiaying felt they were targeting her again, so he quickly explained, "Jiaying, don't worry. A lot has happened recently, and we've thought it through. We won't bother you if we can avoid it. Besides, we're not too old to move. So after we're settled, your mother and I... no, your Aunt Ke and I will find some easy jobs to support ourselves. Zhenmeng will be in the palace in the future, so she won't be able to come out as she pleases. But it's different for you. If you still recognize me as an old man, come to visit us in the house, and we can cook you a delicious meal."
“…”
Shu Jiaying could tell that these words came from the heart of Old Man Shu. She was inexplicably moved. She didn't expect that after so many things had happened, Old Man Shu only saw through it now. She hoped it wasn't too late...
She remembered that Shu Zhenmeng was going to send it to worship the river god. Shu Jiaying looked at the expressions of Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke. They probably didn't know anything, right?
Shu Jiaying couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke, and she said something that even shocked herself.
"Dad, don't worry. I'll take care of the house for you. I'll have to let you stay at the inn for the next two days."
"Jiaying girl..."
Old Man Shu looked at Shu Jiaying in disbelief. If he could say this, did it mean that she was willing to accept them back together?
"Jiaying girl, are you telling the truth?"
"It's true. Are you hungry after being out for so long? How about I take you to eat something?"
Old Man Shu was so moved that he nodded gratefully.
"Okay... okay, this is the first time my little girl Jiaying has asked us to eat. I will shamelessly eat this meal no matter what..."
