Chapter 173
Author: Filthy MACHINE TRANSLATION
“Lord Jue, will we scare the elderly if we just go in like this? Also, don’t we bring gifts when we go home to visit grandma?”
2
“Bring gifts…” Ling Jue really did not think of this question.
2
This seemed to be the case. If it was a junior, they would bring gifts when they went home to visit their elders.
2
“Lord Jue, you’re so stupid. If it wasn’t for Tang Yuan, you wouldn’t even know.” Tang Yuan was smug. It thought that it was the only bug that did not know the ways of the world, but it did not expect that Lord Jue did not know either.
2
Ling Jue felt a little bitter. She had good eyesight. She could see the small house hidden among the bamboo leaves by the river. She had once lived there for three months.
That was the warmest day in her memory…
2
She stood on the other side of the river, thinking about how to see the elderly woman. She came here on the spur of the moment, without any plans.
2
If she asked about the woman’s whereabouts, how would she answer?
2
“I heard that her eldest son broke his leg. She’s going out right now to visit him.”
2
“Sigh. Speaking of which, Old Lady Shi is really pitiful. Her daughter left without her and never came back. Her son bought a house in the city, but he never came back. Last time, her house leaked rain, and it was my son who went to fix it.”
2
“Is that so? I was thinking of going to her place to get some flower seeds. My daughter will be home in a few days. The last time she went to school, she said that her flowers were beautiful. I’ve been busy and didn’t have time to get them.”
2
“Then I’d better go and take a look before she leaves.”
2
“Hurry up.”
2
The two women passed by the bridge. They didn’t notice Ling Jue who was standing beside them, but walked straight to the other side of the river.
On the other side of the river were fields and hillsides. On the other side of the river was a residential area. An old tree stood at the end of the street. It was summer at the moment, and the leaves swayed gently as if they were talking about something.
“Lord Jue, is the Old Lady Shi they’re talking about your grandmother?” Tang Yuan hopped onto the bridge and looked at Ling Jue curiously.
2
Ling Jue nodded. She remembered that her grandmother’s surname was Shi, and there was an extremely beautiful and charming plant planted at the entrance of her house.
2
That flower was planted by that woman a long time ago, and she liked it very much. Later, she destroyed the flower with her own hands, but grandmother planted it again, and it has been there ever since.
“Lord Jue, what should we do?” Tang Yuan looked at the situation on the other side of the river and was at a loss.
2
“…” Ling Jue frowned as well. She might be able to handle a fight, but she was at a loss at this emotional moment.
2
“They said that grandma is going to visit her eldest son.”
2
“Okay.”
2
Ling Jue frowned slightly. This uncle of hers actually had a sense of presence now. Why didn’t he appear in the past before breaking his leg? Hehe, why didn’t she kill that unfilial son?
2
“Lord Jue! Is that grandma?!” Tang Yuan quickly hid behind her hair as if it was afraid that her grandma would see it.
2
Ling Jue hid as well. At that moment, an old woman walked over from the other side of the bridge. She was walking with a cane.
2
Her hair was white and there were wrinkles on her face, but it was not hard to tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
She was wearing a blue robe, which had a bit of the folk style of this place.
“Qingsong’s mother, where are you going?” Someone asked the old woman as he walked over from afar with a hoe.
2
Qingsong was the name of her eldest son.
“Qingsong broke his leg. He asked me to go to the city to take care of him for a few days.”
2
“Your son! Your house is about to collapse and he didn’t come to see you. Now that his leg is broken, he still asked you to serve him at your age. It’s really… Sigh, there’s no bus to the city at this hour. Why don’t I wait for my son to come back? I’ll ask him to send you.”
2
The old woman refused with a smile. “It’s okay. There’s no need to trouble Xiao Fei. I can walk there. I used to walk there several times a day.”
