Chapter 108: with translation of chapter title

The old lady came all the way to the backyard again.

Xu Damao, hearing the front yard lively, also took Lou Xiao'e out.

Then Liu Hai Zhong's family also went out.

Even the deaf old lady came out.

Before they could walk to the front yard, Yi Da Ma helped the old lady walk in.

Xu Damao, Liu Hai Zhong, and the deaf old lady were momentarily stunned.

What's going on?

Yi Da Ma and Chen Hong are both supporting an old lady? I must be seeing things—aren't Yi Zhonghai and Yang Qing now at odds?

By now Yi Da Ma had already begun introducing, pointing to Xu Damao.

"Old lady, this is Xu Damao, a projectionist at the steel mill; behind him is his wife, Lou Xiao'e."

Xu Damao still hasn't reacted, not understanding what's going on, just laughing nervously.

"Hello, old lady."

Lou Xiao'e also greeted, calling out 'old lady'.

The couple wasn't overly enthusiastic, just like ordinary people meeting.

Yang Qing stood behind, glanced at Xu Damao, his eyes flickered, pretending not to see.

Then he understood.

Xu Damao was afraid he'd cause trouble.

Looking at He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, Yi Da Ma, San Da Ye surrounding the old lady, he also understood why Xu Damao reacted so coldly.

He thought the old lady belonged to San Da Ye.

Yang Qing shook his head, sighing, not knowing what to say, looking at Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, and Jia Dongxu.

They quickly figured out the old lady's situation, then swarmed over.

This is more like those people fawning over the deaf old lady.

This group of people have sharp eyes, knowing how to get on good terms with whom, so they won't be bullied later.

Xu Damao lacked such awareness toward the deaf old lady, ultimately making her think he wasn't worthy of Lou Xiao'e, and she matched Lou Xiao'e with Sha Zhu.

To say the deaf old lady is bad? At the time of matchmaking, Xu Damao was already divorced—what's the problem?

If not for Lou Xiao'e's family sudden situation, the two getting together, the old lady really changed both their lives.

Is He Yuzhu really not good? Look at Lou Xiao'e going to Xianggang; even after searching again, upon returning she still longs for He Yuzhu.

At least this guy truly fawns over women.

It's a pity the deaf old lady is too old; many things she's willing but lacks strength.

When introducing Liu Hai Zhong's couple, he still hadn't reacted, the couple were a bit dazed.

He just instinctively gave a greeting.

Liu Guangtian, being on good terms with Yang Qing, saw Chen Hong supporting the old lady, knew they were his own people—one grandma, one grandma—and called out warmly.

When it came to the deaf old lady's turn.

The deaf old lady felt a bit out of favor.

Looking at this situation, the old lady's status isn't simple; otherwise Yi Zhonghai and his wife wouldn't be so eager to please.

Aunt Xing saw the deaf old lady, her smile became much more sincere, and she actively greeted.

"Older sister, hello."

The deaf old lady also smiled and replied.

"Good, good, little sister, what's this?"

Aunt Xing sighed.

"I've taken Chen Hong as my adopted granddaughter, haven't I?"

"Her work assigned her to the local Jiedao office; she dislikes not being able to take care of me, insisting on bringing me over to look after me."

"When people get old, they just cause trouble."

Upon hearing, the deaf old lady's slight feeling of being out of favor immediately warmed up.

"Good, good, good, this child Chen Hong is clearly a good one."

"From now on, little sister, you'll enjoy blessings."

The deaf old lady is happy because this older sister also recognized a dry relative, and as a result Chen Hong brought everyone home.

Thinking also of her and He Yuzhu, who also recognized a dry relative, having this older sister as an example, she'll be much better.

Since Sha Zhu married Liu Shumin, he's been much colder toward her; having the older sister's treatment, at least he won't get worse.

Moreover, she hopes Sha Zhu will treat her better in the future.

As for Yi Zhonghai and his wife, they have too many schemes; she's unsure.

Actually when the deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu felt a bit guilty and lowered his head.

Compared to Chen Hong, Sha Zhu feels he's been doing not so well lately.

Indeed, now he can't see through the people in the compound, can't tell who's human and who's ghost.

Now with Chen Hong as an example, he feels the deaf old lady here shouldn't be involved in Yi Zhonghai's affairs.

Aunt Xing saw this old lady speaking well, broke free from Yi Da Ma's hand, and grabbed the deaf old lady.

"Older sister, come sit with me in the back."

The deaf old lady happily nodded.

"Then thank you, little sister."

She decided, from now on to interact more with Yang Qing and his wife.

Block the dark arrows for them.

She doesn't even know Xing Aunt's identity now; she's simply happy because of how Yang Qing and his wife treat this older sister.

Everyone came to the backyard.

They escorted Xing Aunt all the way into the bedroom.

Many people were entering Yang Qing's house for the first time; upon looking, they saw the home was nicely done.

No wonder it took several hundred days to finish.

Upon entering, Xing Aunt saw the room had already been tidied up, and felt something was off.

Yang Qing then set down the box in his hands and said to the tricycle master.

"Sorry to trouble you, big brother; just put the bedding on the kang."

The master set the bedding down and said generously.

"It's just a small thing."

He actually knows where this family came from.

Yang Qing took out some money and handed it to him.

"Take the money, and also give the master at the door his pay."

The tricycle master saw that Yang Qing had given him an extra coin.

"Comrade, you gave too much."

Yang Qing pushed it back.

"Buy a pack of cigarettes for the two older brothers; hold onto it."

The master thanked.

"Then thank you, host; you're busy, I'll head out first."

Yang Qing saw the master out the door.

Upon coming back in, he saw Xing Aunt and Chen Hong arguing.

Xing Aunt stopped Chen Hong from laying the bed, shouting.

"How can a guest occupy the host's bedroom?"

"I'll be fine staying in the west room."

Chen Hong ignored her completely and continued laying the bed.

"You're the guest; you're my grandmother."

"If this house isn't for you to live in, who is it for?"

Unable to prevail over Chen Hong, Xing Aunt ended up crying, moved.

"No, no, what if this old body of mine dies here? How unlucky."

"Hong, you can't do that."

Seeing the old lady in tears, Chen Hong could only comfort her first.

"What's all this talk about dying or not dying? It's just a place for people to live; being able to have you stay here is our family's blessing."

"Live here in peace; our side is fine as well."

"Later I'll take you inside to look around, then you'll know."

Yang Qing also walked over, smiling, to comfort the old lady.

"Don't overthink it; staying in the west room is convenient for us, really—later you can go see for yourself."

At this moment, Liu Guangtian remembered something.

"I know, there's a washing room over there."

"Haha, Brother Qing and sister-in-law can conveniently take a bath together."

Liu Hai Zhong slapped his head with a palm.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Shut up."

Then he said.

"In that case, the couple would indeed find it convenient to live there."

Everyone heard Liu Guangtian's words and also understood.

Those who understand, understand.

Moreover, some young daughters-in-law looked enviously at Chen Hong.

Upon hearing, the old lady also understood, but still felt uneasy in her heart.

"Then sleeping in this room wouldn't be appropriate either."

The deaf old lady then offered comfort.

"Older sister, this is the thoughtfulness of Yang Qing and his wife; please accept it."

"Also don't put the two filial children in a difficult spot."
