(Today’s update, Si Ye will try to explode, those who have monthly tickets and rewards, let’s get moving, awoo awoo awoo.)
That day, Luo Dashan indeed got up very early, earlier than usual, wearing a set of new clothes Fang Pingying had bought him before, making himself look particularly spirited, and he even unusually went down and bought so breakfast to eat.
After breakfast, Luo Dashan said, "I’m going out for a walk; I might not co back for lunch at noon. You and Zhuzhu can eat, don’t buy too many dishes."
Seeing Luo Dashan’s deanor, Zhou Yuni knew that Luo Dashan must have chosen today to visit Xiutao. She kept her composure and quickly cleaned up the table, then took Zhuzhu’s hand, smiling, "Where are you going? I’ll go with you."
"I..." Luo Dashan hesitated and lied, "I’m going to Pingying’s place; it’s not convenient for you to co along."
Zhou Yuni sneered; this old man really changed after living in the city for a while. He never used to lie at ho, and even if he did, she could easily see through it. Now, he could lie without blushing, and he knew how to target her weakness.
She knew Fang Pingying had made it clear that she was not welco, so he deliberately said he was going to Fang Pingying’s place.
But Zhou Yuni intentionally said, "Why is it inconvenient? Can’t I just go see Haohao and the others? At worst, I won’t go inside. You can just bring Haohao out for to take a look."
Seeing Zhou Yuni’s persistence and fearing she would actually follow him, Luo Dashan raised his voice a bit, with so displeasure, "Didn’t you hear what Pingying said last ti? Haohao and the others don’t want to see you. Do you want to cause endless trouble?"
Seeing Luo Dashan acting arrogantly even when he was in the wrong, Zhou Yuni also raised her voice, yelling at Luo Dashan, "What do you an by this, Luo Dashan? Am I so sort of disgraceful woman who must stay here with you, and cannot even go see my own grandson?"
In the past, even when Luo Dashan hadn’t done anything wrong, he would be too afraid to speak when Zhou Yuni yelled at him. But things were different now. Luo Dashan imdiately raised his eyebrows, unrelentingly frowning and shouting at Zhou Yuni, "Zhou Yuni, stop making a scene. When you agreed to move in, I told you that coming back to this ho was possible, but it wouldn’t be like before. I’m the one who calls the shots now. If you don’t want to live here, you can leave anyti."
"I..." Zhou Yuni took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down when Luo Dashan brought that up right away.
Seeing her silence, Luo Dashan’s expression softened a bit, and he said, "Take Zhuzhu back. I’ll be back this afternoon."
"Okay." Zhou Yuni agreed verbally, but in her mind, she fud, as if I would believe your nonsense, going out to see an old fla and making it sound so grandiose, this damned old man.
Thus, as soon as Luo Dashan left, Zhou Yuni imdiately took Zhuzhu and secretly followed him.
But Zhuzhu, being a child, didn’t understand what his grandma and grandpa were up to, and since grandma was sneaking around like a thief, he found it fun to follow grandpa, laughing and making loud noises, almost alerting Luo Dashan in front. Fortunately, Zhou Yuni acted quickly and hid them.
Having no choice, Zhou Yuni left Zhuzhu with a familiar neighbor, promising to bring snacks for both Zhuzhu and the neighbor’s child when she returned.
Alone, Zhou Yuni found it easy to follow Luo Dashan.
Though Fang Pingying had ntioned that if Luo Dashan went to Xiutao’s place, she would have her driver take him there, Luo Dashan felt embarrassed about the idea of eting Xiutao, so he decided not to disturb Fang Pingying and took several buses to Xiutao’s ho himself.
When Luo Dashan arrived near the alley where Xiutao lived, he was startled by what he saw.
He had always thought that Xiutao would have a good life after returning to the city, not as grand as living in a villa like Fang Pingying’s family, but at least she should be living in a high-rise building in the city.
But what he saw was a row of low, shabby houses, and the surrounding area wasn’t a good place. Trash was scattered everywhere, and the sll was overwhelming. The people coming and going were dressed in clothes that indicated they had no money, and this place was far worse than where their family lived now.
Luo Dashan wondered if he had co to the wrong place, so he grabbed a passerby and showed them the address on the paper to ask.
The person confird it was indeed the place and even pointed out to him where Xiutao’s house was, located deep inside the alley, in a very bad spot.
Moreover, the helpful pedestrian reminded him, "Sir, judging by your appearance, you probably are not familiar with this family. If you decide to go, you should be careful. The man of the house is ntally unstable. Although bedridden all year, he likes to hit and curse people, and he doesn’t seem to like guests, especially male ones, visiting his ho. Maybe he’s suspicious of his wife."
Luo Dashan didn’t quite understand what this ant, but as an outsider, it wasn’t appropriate to ask more, so he hurriedly replied, "Oh, oh, thank you."
Luo Dashan hadn’t considered all this before, but hearing the passerby’s words, he suddenly felt visiting like this might be a bit rash. Considering his past relationship with Xiutao, if her husband found out, he would certainly be upset.
Moreover, Xiutao’s family likely didn’t know about her past, and visiting directly like this might cause her trouble.
Additionally, the passerby’s words made Luo Dashan even more cautious, so he decided not to follow the address directly. Instead, he stood outside the alley, thinking Xiutao’s house was inside, and she would have to co and go, so he would eventually see her.
anwhile, Zhou Yuni, who had been trailing Luo Dashan all along, had also arrived. Afraid of being discovered by Luo Dashan, she hid about a few dozen ters away, around the corner behind a house.
However, she shared the sa doubts as Luo Dashan, wondering how Xiutao could be living in such a house. People living in such places likely weren’t wealthy, so would her plans fall through?
Yet, at the sa ti, a sense of schadenfreude filled Zhou Yuni.
All along, she knew that in Luo Dashan’s heart, Xiutao was different from other won. When Luo Dashan was young, he once brought up Xiutao during a drunken mont.
He said Xiutao was not only beautiful and educated, but also very gentle, with a fairy-like temperant. Such a woman was beyond his reach, so he never blad Xiutao for leaving him back then.
