The woman's face immediately darkened.
When Chou Chou saw that the woman didn't speak, he asked again, "Auntie, how old are you? Auntie, are you stupid?"
The woman looked at her sister and asked, "How do you raise your child?"
The older sister smiled. "What's wrong? Isn't my son good? My son is wonderful; he knows his age and he knows he's not stupid."
Ugly nodded. "I'm fine."
"You! Humph!"
Chou Chou climbed onto Tengteng and hugged his neck. "Uncle Nao Nao, Uncle Tengteng, this auntie is so fierce."
Tengteng rubbed Chou Chou's head. "Auntie's father just passed away, so Auntie is in a bad mood."
Chou Chou didn't understand. However, Chou Chou didn't really care about these things. "Uncle Nao Nao, Uncle Tengteng, I've grown taller again."
Tengteng knew that his sister often told Chou Chou, "I'll tell you when you grow as tall as your Uncle Nao Nao and your Uncle Tengteng." Tengteng looked at Chou Chou and said, "Chou Chou is so amazing. Chou Chou, Uncle is telling you, as long as you eat well, you can grow as tall as Uncle."
The woman curled her lip. "You're treating an adopted child like this."
Xiaoman and Tang Huihui were also sitting in the living room.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Xiaoman's eyes narrowed. "I acknowledge him as my grandson, and he is indeed my grandson."
The woman's heart skipped a beat. "Ah... Auntie, I... I didn't say anything wrong. He... he was adopted."
Xiaoman glanced at the woman indifferently: "You have no right to speak in this house."
Tang Huihui chimed in, "That's right. You haven't married my grandson yet."
The woman was both angry and furious: "You...you...how could you treat me like this? If it weren't for my father, your son and grandson would be dead long ago."
Tang Huihui fell silent.
Xiaoman's lips curled up slightly. Her son, Wang Xiaoman's son, needed someone else to save him? "You want to marry my son?"
The woman stiffened her neck: "This is my father's last wish."
The older sister looked at Tengteng. (Meaning: Did his father really die trying to save you?)
Tengteng: Don't worry about this.
The older sister shrugged.
Xiaoman looked at Tengteng.
Tengteng nodded.
Xiaoman frowned. "Come with me."
"Okay." Tengteng put Chou Chou on the sofa and followed Xiaoman upstairs.
Chou Chou got off the sofa, walked to Tang Huihui's side, and took Tang Huihui's hand. "Great-Grandma, did you miss me?"
"I've thought about it."
Great-Grandma, have you eaten yet?
"I've eaten. Have you eaten?"
"I ate. Great-Grandma..."
Chou Chou and Tang Huihui chatted for a long time.
The woman looked at her sister. "Why does your son look like a little old lady?"
The older sister glanced at the woman and said, "What? You look down on this old lady?"
"I……"
The older sister smiled. "If I asked you to imitate an old lady, you might not be able to."
"What's so difficult about that?"
"Then learn one for me."
"I...I won't learn it."
"I don't think you can learn it."
"What's so difficult about that?"
"Then learn one for me."
Why should I learn it?
"You think you're so great? Then learn one for me."
"I...I won't learn it. Humph!"
The older sister looked at the woman and said, "If you don't, you don't. I won't laugh at you."
"Who says I can't? I...I...My dad just passed away, I'm not in the mood to teach you right now."
“Your father is a hero. I respect him. I hope you will respect him too.”
The woman blushed slightly. "I didn't disrespect my dad."
The older sister stared at the woman and said, "Then what do you mean by coming to our house to act so arrogantly?" The older sister knew the woman was afraid of Xiaoman and Han Bin's opposition, so she immediately put on airs as if she were their benefactor. Besides putting on airs, she also wanted to intimidate Xiaoman's family with her imposing manner. The older sister respected heroes. But she felt the woman's current behavior was tarnishing a hero's reputation. Therefore, the older sister didn't give her any face. "Do you know what your behavior is called?"
"I……"
The older sister slowly uttered four words: "To repay with heartfelt gratitude."
The woman blushed slightly. "I'm fulfilling my father's last wish. My father's only worry was me. I can't let him leave in peace. Since my father entrusted me to your brother, I can't disobey him. Your brother's life was saved by my father, so you can't be ungrateful."
The older sister frowned. "You can't force things. We can find you a good job. And if anyone bullies you, we won't stand idly by."
The woman glanced at the living room furnishings. She thought, "If I married your brother, I wouldn't need to work at all. I can't let my father leave this world without peace of mind."
Tang Huihui: "How about I adopt you as my granddaughter?"
Sister: "If you acknowledge my grandmother, then my father, my mother, and my brothers will all be your support."
The woman felt that nothing was better than marrying Tengteng. "I told you, this was my father's last wish."
My older sister doesn't want to talk to women anymore. "Ugly, come here. Mommy will take you to change your clothes."
“Okay.” Chou Chou walked over and took her sister’s hand.
After realizing that Xiaoman's family wasn't buying her approach, the woman decided to try a different method. "Why do you call your son Ugly? He's so handsome."
The older sister pinched the ugly little face and said, "My son is too handsome, so I gave him an ugly name to suppress his good looks."
The woman smiled. "Aren't you afraid he'll blame you when he grows up?"
The older sister tapped her ugly little nose. "If you ever dare to blame Mommy, Mommy will beat you with your grandma's little whip."
Ugly hugged her sister's leg: "I won't blame you. I won't hit you."
After her older sister led Chou Chou away, the woman tried to get closer to Tang Huihui. But... the woman discovered that being a little old lady wasn't so easy.
Upstairs, Xiaoman glanced at Tengteng and asked, "How did his father die?"
“Her father has a terminal illness. But he didn’t want to be slowly tortured to death by the disease, so he didn’t tell anyone. Her father was especially dedicated when he went on missions. This time, her father was at the forefront again. Later, when we encountered danger, her father gave me a push.”
"If he hadn't pushed you, would you have been able to avoid it?"
"able."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "How long have you two known each other?"
Five years.
Xiaoman understood. Since they'd been together for five years, he must have known Tengteng could evade it. "He did it on purpose?"
Tengteng nodded. "He was my comrade-in-arms, and he made so many contributions to the country. I couldn't bear to expose him, nor could I bear to let him leave in peace. He often told me that the people he felt most sorry for in his life were his wife and daughter." As he spoke, Tengteng's eyes reddened.
"So you agreed to it?"
“Yes. He was both my comrade-in-arms and my older brother. When I first arrived, he helped me a lot.” Tengteng closed his eyes briefly, and two tears fell to the ground. “Mother, I was so stupid. I didn’t even notice he was sick. Mother, I’m so sorry. Mother, he was so good to me. Mother…”
Xiaoman hugged Tengteng tightly: "Mom knows. He won't blame you."
