Chapter 208

208 Chase Her Away

Old Madam Jin’s mood improved after eating delicious food.

“Alright, alright. I have to recuperate quickly. I’m very curious about the smelly food you mentioned.”

Li Xiaoran smiled and promised, “Old Madam Jin, just you wait! I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!”

After lunch, Old Madam Jin thought for a moment and said, “You have to keep the wooden box I gave you previously! Don’t come for the next few days. Go home and take care of your noodle stall first! After my house in the village is built, we’ll set up a banquet. You’re already my granddaughter. Don’t think about disowning me!”

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “It’s going to be the new year soon. I’ll buy some things with my husband tomorrow! Old Madam Jin, why don’t you stay with us during the new year?! Let’s celebrate the new year together!”

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she was stunned.

“Your family won’t despise an old woman like me, will they?”

“How can that be? My parents will definitely welcome you! We have many houses at home. You can stay in whichever one you want!” Li Xiaoran said.

Actually, Li Xiaoran had discussed this idea with Luo Cheng at the teahouse previously.

Luo Cheng didn’t care about this matter. There was no difference between some people and fewer people.

As long as Li Xiaoran was happy, he would agree.

That was why Li Xiaoran invited him.

Old Madam Jin was a little tempted and immediately thought about it seriously.

“How about this? I still have to recuperate here for two more days. Let’s talk about it during the new year! If I want to come, I’ll ask someone to bring you a message a day in advance!”

Li Xiaoran also knew that Old Madam Jin had her own things to do, so she nodded and settled this matter.

“Since you have something to do at home, don’t waste time with me! You young people should do your own things! I know my body very well. It’s not a big deal. I’ll be fine after resting for a while!” After Old Madam Jin made her decision, she began to chase her away.

Li Xiaoran could sense that Old Madam Jin was sincerely saying this for their sake, so she nodded and left with Luo Cheng.

After she left, Mrs. Su walked over.

“Why didn’t you ask Miss Xiaoran to accompany you more?”

“This girl still has so many things to do at home and her own family to take care of. I can’t be so selfish as to keep her by my side. Besides, the Jin family should know about the severance by now. My two unfilial sons must have received the news too. What do you think they will do after they find out?” Old Madam Jin’s expression turned solemn as she asked.

Mrs. Su really had not thought of this. At this moment, she finally understood the old lady’s thoughts.

“If that’s the case, Miss Xiaoran really can’t stay here!”

Old Madam Jin nodded, then a sneer appeared on her face.

“This time, I will be able to clearly see if my sons are ingrates!”

Just as Old Madam Jin had expected, Jin Dawei and Jin Ximing had already received the news from White Foothill City.

To be honest, after receiving this news, the brothers were very shocked.

They had never expected their old mother to ask for a severance at such an old age.

Their old father had already passed away. How could they severe ties?

“No wonder Mother went out early in the morning. So she went to do this! This is ridiculous! Third Brother, tell me, what is Mother doing? Does she think that we haven’t suffered enough humiliation?” Jin Dawei was really furious. He paced around the hall with his hands behind his back. “Now, we’re going to severe ties. What should we do?”

Jin Ximing wasn’t as irritable as his brother, Jin Dawei. He was much calmer.

Jin Ximing knew very well that his mother had probably done this because his brother had broken her heart!

“Brother, I think we should quickly find Mother and apologize to her so that she can calm down. To be honest, Mother just wants to acknowledge a country girl as her god-granddaughter. Why don’t we just follow her wishes?! She’s just a country girl. What can she do? Actually, it’s not impossible. With that country girl by Mother’s side, Mother won’t keep thinking about what happened before! With someone accompanying Mother, we don’t have to be in a dilemma!”

“Oh, you’re blaming me now? Didn’t you disagree with Mother acknowledging that countryside girl as her granddaughter previously? So you’re blaming me for what happened?” Jin Dawei said angrily.

“Brother, can you calm down and be reasonable?! You know that’s not what I meant! Now, let’s not argue about these things. Let’s quickly think of a way to make Mother happy! Do you want Mother to really leave?” Jin Ximing said speechlessly.

“Comfort? How? Let Mother acknowledge that country girl as her granddaughter? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it! Doesn’t Mother like granddaughters? Hurry up and choose someone in the clan who knows how to coax people. Just send her over to coax Mother! If that country girl wants to climb up the ranks of our family, don’t even think about it.” Jin Dawei stomped his feet and said.

“Brother, you keep saying that she’s a country girl, but she even has access to Bezoar Pills! Speaking of which, this is also a good way to get close to her. At least when you and I are old and want to use this Bezoar Pills to save our lives, we still know who to look for!” Jin Ximing snorted and said.

When Jin Dawei heard this, he felt tempted.

Because Jin Ximing was right. A holy medicine like the Bezoar Pill was rare.

It wasn’t just their old mother who needed it. When they got old in the future, they would also urgently need such a holy medicine.

The reason why Bezoar Pills were rare was that they couldn’t be exchanged for even with money.

After the realization, Jin Dawei regretted it.

However, he was too stubborn and prideful to back down now.

“So what? I’ve already offended them!”

“That’s why I want you to lower your head and apologize. At the same time, you can coax Mother! In the future, it will also be convenient for you to obtain the Bezoar Pills. It’s killing two birds with one stone. Brother, you have to think carefully.” Jin Ximing persuaded.

“Is that so? Since you want to apologize, let’s go together!” Jin Dawei thought of something and glanced at his third brother with a mocking smile.

Jin Ximing looked uncomfortable when he heard this.
