Unlike last ti, the Old Lady of the Xiao family didn’t adopt that aloof empress attitude but rather rolled her eyes at you irritably and said in a slightly reproving tone, "You little rascal, co here, let Grandma take a good look at you."
Huh?
Did this old hag take the wrong dicine?
Just before, she was huffing and puffing, and in just a few days, her tone of speech has changed so much.
"Li Muyun."
"Present! Coming right away!"
Just as Zong Wangyue had said, when every mother calls her child by their full na, everyone can feel a chill in the air, and if you don’t behave at that mont, woo boy, you’re in for it.
Seeing how well-behaved you were, the Old Lady of the Xiao family couldn’t help but turn her head to look at her daughter and gave her a thumbs up.
Your mother smiled smugly, for to her, you were her lifeti’s greatest masterpiece, no matter how old you were, or how much power and influence you possessed, in her eyes, you would always be that little baby crying for food.
When you got in front of the Old Lady of the Xiao family, your mother said coldly, "Call her Grandma."
You picked your nose disinterestedly and called out reluctantly, and even then it was unclear, "Grandma."
"Are you growing a thick skin, huh?!"
Your mother made a motion as if to hit soone, and your grandma imdiately put out her hand and gave her a slap, glaring sternly, and just like that, the tigress instantly turned ta!
It turns out there truly is sothing that can ta sothing else; you never would have thought that your mother, who always seed above the law in your eyes, could also have her monts of obedience!
"The child is still young, and besides, I’ve been at fault over the years too, let’s just forget about the past, didn’t this little rascal just call Grandma a mont ago."
"Mom, this little bugger can’t be disciplined, he’s just like a monkey that needs beating every three days to prevent him from lifting the roof tiles."
"Hee hee, a little monkey." Xiao iyu looked at you with foxy eyes and laughed so hard that her flowers shook.
You glared at her fiercely, then glanced over at the Old Master of the Li Family next to her.
Old Master of the Li Family had a good complexion, and even though his end was near, he still smiled and faced it optimistically.
Seeing him, you sighed softly in your heart, and although you were used to seeing ghosts, whenever you saw an elderly person nearing the end of life, you couldn’t help feeling a sense of reluctance.
You walked up to Old Master Li, took his hand, and said softly, "Old Master, how’s your health?"
"Not bad, not bad," Old Master Li said with a smile, "Little Muyun, tell your grandpa, did you find that dumpling-selling old woman?"
"Hey, Old Dog Li, you’re almost dead, and you still can’t stop taking advantage of my mother!"
Your grandma, just like your mom, was a fierce character. As soon as she spoke up, Old Master Li couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
"I’m about to die anyway, so what’s wrong with taking a little advantage? Who made Mu Bai that old codger die before ?" said Old Master Li, chuckling at you, "Little Muyun, if you call grandpa, I’ll give you a pharmaceutical company, how about that?"
"Dad!"
Second Master Li, hearing this, hurriedly intervened.
Without waiting for Old Master Li to speak, you said with a smile, "Old Master, one can’t use such a title carelessly. Don’t you still have filial sons and grandsons?"
Old Master Li glanced at Second Master Li and his pus-filled son next to him and sighed softly, "Such is fate, back in the day I, Li..."
"Oh my, I say, Old Dog Li, you aren’t getting sentintal, are you? You’re about to die, about to die, forget about the past!"
Old man Li was interrupted by your grandmother, forcing him to swallow his words back, and at the end, he let out a soft sigh.
You couldn’t bear to see the old man sighing, and said with a smile, "Old Master, I found the old lady who sells dumplings."
At these words, Old Master of the Li Family hastily lifted his head, staring at you intently: "Really? You really found her!?"
"Pfft, who would believe that," Second Master Li scoffed dismissively, "She was already an old woman when my dad was in his twenties, and now my dad is over seventy, could that old woman still be selling dumplings at over a hundred years old?"
Your grandmother also asked, "Mu Yun, did you really find her?"
You ignored Old Dog Li and said to Old Master of the Li Family, "Old Master, I originally wanted to buy a bowl of dumplings for you and bring them over, but the old lady said that her dumplings can only be eaten by the person who buys them. If soone else buys them, they won’t taste the sa."
"Yes, yes," Old Master of the Li Family said with a nod, smiling, "Back then, I also thought of buying so for your grandmother, and the old lady said the sa thing."
Your grandmother quickly looked at you and asked, "Mu Yun, is that old lady still there now?"
"She should be, she’s always wandering around that area anyway."
Your grandmother glanced at Old Master of the Li Family and said, "Old Dog Li, your ti is running short, I’m afraid you won’t make it through tonight."
"Let’s go, let’s go, take to see her."
"Dad, I think you should rest here more. I’ll go and buy so for you," Second Master Li walked over very earnestly, smiling as he spoke.
Old Master of the Li Family glanced at Second Master Li and his timid son, and seed to have made a decision, telling Second Master Li, "You co with , and bring your son too."
"Okay, okay."
Twenty minutes later, two luxury cars parked in a slightly wider area of the old street, where cars could no longer proceed.
Old Master of the Li Family was lifted from the car by two young n and seated in a wheelchair.
Your grandmother, on the other hand, slowly stepped out of the car with your mother’s assistance. She wasn’t unable to walk; she just walked very slowly.
Seeing this, you couldn’t help but let out a light sigh and walked over to say to your mother, "Mom, let carry grandmother."
Your mother and grandmother exchanged glances, both seeing a look of joy in each other’s eyes.
Xiao iyu stood quietly to the side, her gaze rippling and shimring.
Your group slowly made your way to where you had previously encountered the old lady. At this point, there were no more pedestrians on the street, with only a few of you standing in the chilly night breeze.
"When the hell does that old woman show up?" Second Master Li asked, eyeing you skeptically.
"Dad, he’s definitely tricking us, he wants us dead!"
"Shut up!" Old Master of the Li Family bellowed, silencing them imdiately.
"Mu Yun, will that old lady really appear?" your mother asked as she pushed the wheelchair closer, turning her head to look at you.
"She probably will."
You placed your grandmother in the wheelchair and walked a few steps ahead.
At that mont, you noticed a fog slowly rising around you, and from within the fog ca the familiar sound of bamboo being struck: "Thud, thud-thud... Thud, thud-thud..."
"She’s here, she’s here."
Old Master of the Li Family was all too familiar with this sound and as he heard it, two lines of old tears slowly slid down his cheeks...
