Jiang Yilai understood what she meant. She wouldn't object to Fu Nanxiao dealing with her second uncle; she just needed to tell her what had happened.
Grandma Fu no longer wanted to be kept in the dark, and she also didn't want to let her wicked son off the hook.
Jiang Yilai put her arm around her shoulder and nodded: "Grandma, I promise you, no matter what happens, I will tell you the truth."
The old lady patted her shoulder with relief and said earnestly, "Lai Lai, I am really at ease with you by Nan Xiao's side. You have to promise me that you will stay with him for the rest of your life."
"You can rest assured about that. No matter what happens, I will never abandon him."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. He's lucky to have married you."
"I am lucky to have married such a good husband. Grandma was also the guiding force between us. If it weren't for your decision, we wouldn't be where we are today."
"You are a good child who knows how to be grateful."
What moved the old lady the most was Jiang Yilai's excellent character. Even if she was no longer around, Fu Nanxiao would have the three of them, mother and son, to accompany him, and she could leave in peace.
Jiang Yilai gently patted the old lady's shoulder as if she were coaxing a child, so that she could fall asleep peacefully.
next day
As soon as it was dawn, Old Mrs. Fu got up, and although she moved quietly, she still woke up the person next to her.
Jiang Yilai glanced at the time on her phone, sat up, rubbed her eyes, and smiled, "Good morning, Grandma. But it's only a little past six, why are you up already?"
Grandma Fu smiled and said, "My two darlings said they wanted to eat the rice balls I make. I'll make them now, and they can have fresh ones when they wake up."
Jiang Yilai said with envy, "They are so lucky to have their great-grandmother doting on them like this. I want to eat too."
Knowing that the old lady was having trouble sleeping because of something on her mind, Jiang Yilai didn't try to persuade her. Instead, she simply followed her wishes and did what she thought would make the old lady happier.
The old lady looked at her with a doting expression and said with a loving smile, "Of course there's a share for you. It's still early, so you can sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up when it's done."
Jiang Yilai shook her head: "I also want to stay with Grandma. You can teach me too. I heard Wen Chao say that you are very skilled. You should pass on some of your skills to me."
Grandma Fu's smile widened, "I was worried that no one would be able to make this taste again, so I should teach you."
"Grandma, don't say such unlucky things. You have to stay by our side forever."
"Silly girl, I'm already this old, I've long since seen through everything. You should also relax and not be sad no matter what happens."
Jiang Yilai put her arm around her shoulder: "Then I'll spend more time with you now."
Grandma Fu smiled broadly, and her mood had relaxed somewhat after talking with Jiang Yilai.
Fu Nanxiao heard footsteps coming from the corridor, opened the door and saw that the two of them had already come downstairs.
Curious, he followed her and saw the old lady washing glutinous rice with Jiang Yilai in the kitchen, which made him smile.
"I said, aren't you two working a little too hard? Getting up at six o'clock to cook."
Jiang Yilai laughed and said, "You don't understand. This is called a loving breakfast. I've been craving Grandma's rice balls for so long, and I'm going to make them myself today."
Fu Nanxiao understood Jiang Yilai's intention: to stay by the old lady's side at all times and help her relax.
I just feel sorry for her, having to handle so many things during the day and then having to spend all her energy comforting the old lady when she gets home.
Of course, it is undeniable that he married a virtuous and kind wife.
