618: Chapter 618: Zhao Yang is Rescued (6)_1 618: Chapter 618: Zhao Yang is Rescued (6)_1 Cai Wei always had keen hearing.
Upon hearing the noise from next door, she got up and walked out, peering over the neighboring wall.
Seeing that Aunt Zhou had just finished sending Uncle Zhou and Jiujin back, she called out, “Aunt Zhou!”
Aunt Zhou was startled upon seeing Cai Wei, jumping as if she’d seen a ghost.
She exclaid in surprise, “Wei’er, what are you doing here?”
Cai Wei laughed and said, “I was bored in the capital, so I thought I would co back and stay here for a few days.
You’re not going to mind, are you, Auntie?”
“You silly girl, listen to you.
How could I mind?
To be honest, I thought that after you went to the Capital, I would not see you in this lifeti.”
As she spoke, her voice began choking up, and she lowered her head to wipe her tears.
Seeing Aunt Zhou shedding tears, Cai Wei quickly stepped out of her own courtyard, took a few steps to enter the Zhou family courtyard, grabbed Aunt Zhou’s hand, and said cheerfully, “Auntie, I was just teasing you.
I didn’t an to upset you and make you cry, I deserve to be punished!”
Aunt Zhou glared at her and said, “You really do deserve to be punished.
You co back without a word and quietly move into your old room.
Don’t you know the town isn’t safe these days?
If sothing happened to a girl like you staying alone at night and if…”
Stopping abruptly, she simultaneously smacked her lips, spitting out several “Bah bah bah” sounds.
“Look at with my crow’s mouth.
As soon as you return, I speak such unlucky words.
Wei’er, don’t be offended by your aunt!”
Cai Wei laughed, “In my heart, Auntie, you’re just like my mother.
How could I be mad at you?”
Upon hearing Cai Wei’s words, a tinge of lancholy tinged Aunt Zhou’s smile.
If Cai Wei could have married her Jiujin, wouldn’t Zhou have beco Cai Wei’s mother?
What a pity, ever since Cai Wei’s illness last year, she has beco more and more distant.
Now, she was brilliant and dazzling.
Without anyone ntioning it, she knew her son was no match for Cai Wei!
“I’m glad you’re not angry with .
Now, let’s go inside.”
Aunt Zhou warmly took Cai Wei’s hand and led her into the room.
While walking, she mumbled, “I will fry so atballs for you later, you loved them when you were little.
But back then, we were poor and worried about wasting oil, so we couldn’t let you eat your fill.
Now that we have enough money at ho, I will let you eat to your heart’s content today…”
Cai Wei laughed, recalling when she was a child.
During the New Year celebrations, Aunt Zhou would always fry a bowl of warm atballs to offer the ancestors.
After the offerings were presented, the atballs would be taken down and given to her and Jiujin.
Back then, Jiujin would always eat slowly, giving her the larger atballs and keeping the smaller ones for himself.
Seeing her eating the oily atballs, he’d always squint his eyes and smile contentedly, looking happier than when he ate them himself…
The layout of the Zhou’s house was the sa as her own.
As soon as she entered the door, there was a hall for receiving guests.
There was a main room to the left and a secondary main room to the right.
Aunt Zhou sat with Cai Wei in the hall.
At that mont, a seven or eight-year-old little maidservant quickly served tea and placed it upon the table.
As she set down the tea, she tilted her head to the side and gave Cai Wei a big smile.
“Yuan’er!”
Cai Wei exclaid.
At first glance, she recognized the little maidservant.
Wasn’t this the sa Yuan’er from her nursing ho?
The idea to start a nursing ho had co to her after watching her and her grandfather.
“Hello, Sister Wei?” Yuan’er greeted, smiling cheerfully.
Cai Wei asked in surprise: “Aren’t you at the nursing ho?
Why are you here?”
