Chapter 227 Old Mrs. Chen Wants to Stay
The biting wind seeped through the coarse cloth shirt and into the skin.
Grandma Chen's limbs were ice cold, and her back was also feeling cold.
How could she forget what kind of person Chen Wanshi was before?
How could someone who can keep this house so well organized and have the whole family listen to her be a kind person?
At this moment, Old Mrs. Chen did not want to see Wan Qiqi in the Chen family again.
But everything that Sister Chen has now was created by Wan Qiqi and the Chen family.
She kept thinking about how to make everything reasonable so that Wan Qiqi could leave the Chen family and leave all the wealth behind.
Wan Qiqi noticed the dark circles under Fang Luxue's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle. "Miss Fang, didn't you sleep last night? Did you go out to steal?"
Fang Luxue turned her face away, not wanting the other person to see her haggard appearance, and grumbled, "You're the one who went to steal, your whole family went to steal..."
She dared not say that she was so frightened by the spider last night that she couldn't sleep all night, and this morning she was woken up by the crowing of roosters.
Mrs. Chen was attracted by the title "Miss Fang".
She looked up at the woman standing in front of her.
Although her clothes were similar to those in the village, her demeanor was different, carrying an air of arrogance and haughtiness, as if there was nothing she was afraid of.
This person is definitely not from the village!
She had lived in the village for decades and knew exactly what each family's children looked like and what kind of people they were.
I heard yesterday that Magistrate Fang's daughter came to the village, but nothing came of it after that.
Now it seems that the person in front of me is Magistrate Fang's daughter!
With Wang Zhi's help, Old Mrs. Chen stood up from the ground and walked towards Fang Luxue with a hunched back. "Miss Fang, it was my fault for being rude. Please forgive my drunkenness."
The matter of Chen Wanshi can be dealt with later; the most important thing right now is to appease the county magistrate's daughter.
Fang Luxue remained unmoved by Old Mrs. Chen's overtures, even showing some annoyance.
Before Old Mrs. Chen could say more than a few words, Fang Luxue turned to Wan Qiqi and said, "There are spiders in my room. You have to find a way to get rid of them, or I'll sleep in your room tonight."
"Isn't it normal to have spiders?" Wan Qiqi's lips curled up slightly, still secretly smiling.
Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Chen's face immediately darkened. "Qiqi, how can you speak to Miss Fang like that?"
After scolding her, she turned to Fang Luxue with a smile and said, "Miss Fang, don't worry, the old lady will help you chase away the spiders."
As she spoke, she leaned on a cane and walked toward Chen Yongnian's house.
Wan Qiqi looked helplessly at Wang Zhi, then at Fang Luxue, and shook her head with a sigh.
“Yongnian, you can’t be so stingy. She’s the county magistrate’s daughter. How can you let her live in such a small room?”
“Yongnian, this room of yours is nice. Why don’t you let her stay here first, and you can stay next door?”
"When Magistrate Fang's daughter comes to stay at our house, we should bring out the best of everything."
...
Grandma Chen directed Chen Yongnian to do this and that, keeping him busy until breakfast was ready, but she didn't even come out of the yard.
"Yongnian, you're all so busy every day, and no one is there to keep Miss Fang company. This won't do!"
Grandma Chen, leaning on her cane, entered the Chen family's courtyard and pointed towards the main room. "I see this room is still empty; you can still live here. You know, after that slut ran off with someone, the Chen family was the subject of all sorts of gossip, and life got harder and harder. Now that the Chen family is doing better, you can't forget your grandma, can you..."
After hearing these words, Wan Qiqi finally understood what Old Mrs. Chen wanted to do today. It turned out that she wanted to move in with her because she saw that Old Mrs. Chen had an extra house!
The fact that they didn't bring Chen Ergou and Yunniang, but only their great-grandson, suggests that they abandoned the two and only wanted to raise their great-grandson well.
Wan Qiqi could even guess that Old Madam Chen came over because she still wanted her help to get Li Zhu and Pingping to go to Hefeng Academy together.
Although Old Mrs. Chen had treated Wang Zhi well in the past and often provided him with subsidies, it didn't mean that she wanted to raise someone else's son!
Since we already have Pingping and An'an at home, we won't raise other people's children, nor do we have the ability or energy to do so.
The little monkey was already being looked for a suitable home to be adopted, so there was no way she would keep Li Zhu at home.
"Of course you can stay if you want, Grandma," Wan Qiqi greeted with a smile, glancing at Chen Yongnian's palm.
Sure enough, after the old lady's series of bizarre actions, her hand, which had just scabbed over, started bleeding again!
She said with a forced smile, "If Grandma wants to stay, she'll probably have to stay in the main room!"
When Grandma Chen heard that she could stay, she was overjoyed.
“But, Grandma, if you stay here, who will take care of Zhu’er? Haven’t you always been worried about leaving him with your cousin and his wife?”
Wan Qiqi's words immediately made Old Mrs. Chen's face fall.
"Qiqi, you're being too polite. Zhu'er will naturally follow suit..."
"Ahem!" Fang Luxue interrupted their conversation, "What are you two dawdling for? I'm starving!"
Wan Qiqi glanced back at her, smiled, shrugged, and said to Grandma Chen, "Grandma, let's not talk about this for now. Let's have breakfast with Miss Fang first, or she'll throw a tantrum again!"
Fang Luxue couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.
I'm throwing a tantrum because of some ungrateful wretch!
I helped her, and she still complained about her bad temper. How can there be such a person?
As Fang Luxue sat down to eat breakfast, her dissatisfaction deepened.
There was a bowl of wild vegetable porridge in front of me, with only green wild vegetables and rice water, and hardly any grains of rice.
Drinking this porridge is like drinking water; how can you eat your fill and work properly?
When Old Mrs. Chen saw this, her expression changed. "Qiqi, with Miss Fang here, how could you prepare such a meager meal?"
