Xiao Jingchuan suspected that the old man had regained his memory, but he didn't expose him. After all, his wife didn't want to talk about it, so he would just play along. So he looked at his wife tenderly and said, "Wife, I agree to take Grandpa with us. He's been so bored these past few days, being cooped up at home."
Hearing this, the old man was as happy as a child, and grabbed Xiao Jingchuan's hand, saying coquettishly, "My grandson-in-law is still the best to me."
Xiao Jingchuan felt a surge of warmth and tenderness in his heart as he sensed the old man's closeness and dependence. He also felt a pang of sadness. He comforted himself, thinking that perhaps this would cheer the old man up.
"Grandpa, after we get to the city, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Xiao Jingchuan said with a smile.
The old man nodded happily, his eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Great! I haven't tasted Yunkedu's fine wine in so long."
Seeing the old man so happy, Xiao Jingchuan felt very gratified. He couldn't help but think of his grandfather in his previous life, who had also had such an innocent and adorable side.
Now, this old man has lost his memory due to an accident, which is truly regrettable. However, as long as we can see his smile, it's all worth it.
At this moment, the old man's gaze fell on Xiao Jingchuan, and he examined him carefully.
He felt that the young man in front of him not only had clear eyes, but was also very sincere and kind, and was becoming more and more like his best friend He Lanlin Feng.
Especially their deep eyes and the slightly curled hair on their foreheads, they are almost identical.
"Husband, you chat with Grandpa for a while, I'll go check on the old lady and tell her to get ready to leave."
Shen Yunsheng handed her grandfather over to her husband and then left the room.
In the courtyard
When Li Hongyu saw Shen Yunsheng come out of the room, she immediately went to greet him.
"Sister Yunsheng, is Grandpa feeling any better?"
"Grandpa has woken up. You can go in and see him."
Li Hongyu nodded and quickly ran inside.
In the neighboring yard
Granny Yang and Xiao Zhenzhu were chatting happily when they saw Shen Yunsheng enter the courtyard, and they immediately ended their previous conversation.
“Jingchuan’s family, I think I just heard Hongyu say that the strange old man living in your house had a relapse. Is he feeling any better now?”
After gathering her thoughts, Granny Yang began to chat idly.
She thought Shen Yunsheng was too foolish. She dared to take in an old man of unknown origin, and wasn't afraid of causing trouble.
"No need for you to worry, Grandma, my grandfather has already woken up."
Shen Yunsheng looked at Granny Yang expressionlessly. Now that she knew about her background, she would not tolerate anyone bullying her grandfather.
"Oh dear, you're telling me you want my grandpa back? You don't mean you want to recognize this weird old man as your grandpa."
Granny Yang couldn't help but tease Shen Yunsheng, and Xiao Zhenzhu, fearing that Shen Yunsheng would get angry, quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Grandma, my second sister-in-law knows how to do things properly, so you don't need to worry about her."
Xiao Zhenzhu was truly impressed by the old lady. Even a clay figure has some temper, yet she really thought Shen Yunsheng was an easy target.
If she were Shen Yunsheng, she would also retort.
"Grandma, aren't you going to the academy? We can leave now."
This time when she went to the city, Shen Yunsheng planned to buy some coarse salt to take home and refine into fine salt. She couldn't bear to waste her time on Granny Yang.
"I'd like to bring your little sister Pearl along. Is there enough room in your car?" Granny Yang was silent for a moment, then stood up with a smile.
"There's room for everyone. Pack your things and gather at the entrance."
Shen Yunsheng gave a brief explanation and then turned to go home.
East Wing of Xiao Family Courtyard
Xiao Jingchuan had already informed his parents that he and his wife were going to take the old lady to the academy.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenjing also expressed his desire to go to the city together. He secretly thought that he could take this opportunity to order a set of tofu-making tools for his eldest daughter.
When Xiao Jingchuan saw his wife return, he told her that his father was going to town.
Shen Yunsheng was very welcoming to her father-in-law's trip to the city. She asked Xiao Jingchuan to drive the car to the side of the road so she could go inside to get something before going over.
The roadside in front of the Xiao Family Compound
Xiao Zhenzhu and Granny Yang had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Xiao Jingchuan drive up, they went up to greet him.
When Granny Yang saw Xiao Jingchuan bringing the old man into the city, she immediately put on a stern face.
"Jingchuan, why did you bring that strange old man into the city? He should have stayed at home."
“Old hag, my grandson-in-law brought me to the city because he is filial. Your jealousy is useless.”
The old man snorted in dissatisfaction. This old woman was really awful; she dared to call him a weird old man.
"Pah! You call yourself a grandson-in-law? You're just a homeless man with no one to take care of you. Only my Jingchuan is kind enough to take you in."
Granny Yang spat rudely, and Xiao Wenjing, seeing that his son was unhappy, immediately stopped his mother.
“Mom, the old man is quite pitiful. Don’t be angry with him. Since he has come to our home, we should treat him as family.”
"You and your son are just too kind, that's why he has you completely under his thumb."
The eldest son spoke up for the old man, which made Granny Yang even more dissatisfied. Just as she was about to retort, Shen Yunsheng walked over from the courtyard.
"Grandma, please stop making trouble. Grandpa is staying with us, and he hasn't asked you to pay for his food. What's the rush?"
“Jingchuan’s family, don’t be ungrateful. This old man is a lonely old man with no children. Once he latches onto you, you won’t be able to shake him off.”
When Granny Yang thought about how the old man had beaten her a few days ago, she wished she could chase him away.
Shen Yunsheng was so angry at Granny Yang that her lungs felt like they were going to explode! Although her grandfather had lost his son, he still had his grandson and granddaughter! How could this hateful old woman say such a thing? How could her grandfather possibly be a lonely old man?
