Actually, the Xuâs Family ancestors were once a famous and noble family, but they gradually declined due to the continued fading of their offspring.
By the time it reached Grandma Xu, she had only one daughter. The daughter married poorly and after her husband died, she moved back here with her two daughters.
As the two daughters grew older, the eldest, Xu Xian, married Mo Yaoxiong, and Xu Jing headed to America with her husband.
Now, Xu Xian has already gone mad and passed away, while Xu Jing has returned home after a divorce. Her daughter, Qu Yunyao, even brazenly got pregnant and mixed up with men in the openâ¦
Mo Weiyi thought that Grandma Xu would be somewhat affected by these matters, but he didnât expect she would maintain a good mental state. She just spent her days gardening, reading, listening to music, and occasionally chitchatting with the elderly neighbors.
In her sixties, she still plays the violin beautifully, and her cooking skills are beyond exceptional.
When Mo Weiyi arrived that day, he asked the servants and driver to leave.
The old lady was quite worried, âYiyi, thereâs nobody here to look after you, wouldnât that be uncomfortable?â
âDonât worry, Grandma, arenât you here?â
âI am old nowâ¦â
âThen I will take care of you.â
This statement got a good laugh from the old lady.
In fact, Grandma Xu was very healthy due to her cheery temperament and constant work. She didnât need anyone to take care of her. Instead, she took care of her granddaughter more often.
She would cook several dishes for each meal using crops she grew herself. They were fresh and clean. After the meal, Mo Weiyi didnât even have to lift a finger. The old lady did everything herself.
Mo Weiyi wasnât even allowed to help.
â¦
One day, right before lunch, Mo Weiyi took a few photos and posted them to his circle of friends, which elicited lots of mockery and jokes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[So, youâre staying on a farm now?]
[Is the little princess experiencing the common peopleâs life?]
[Got tired of feasting, so youâre switching to a simple diet?]
[Where is the princess wandering now?]
[Throw your address here! Letâs hang out!]
The friends on WeChat were all people he had met at gatherings. He didnât even remember who many of them were, so he didnât care about their comments.
And the one person he did care about wouldnât respond to him anyway.
In fact, since getting WeChat, he hadnât ever sent any messages or posted in his circle of friends. He barely bothers to look at it. He guessed he wouldnât respond even if he did see it.
But Ling Zhizhou did send him a message.
[Big sis, where are you traveling?]
Mo Weiyi replied, [Iâm at Grandmaâs house.]
[Is it Xu Yuan Village?]
Mo Weiyi was surprised, [How did you know?]
[I used to live there.]
Mo Weiyi didnât expect such a coincidence, [Where are you now?]
[I will be there in a few days. How many days will you be staying?]
Mo Weiyi hadnât decided how many days he would stay, but he would definitely have to return to the Moâs old house for the Chinese New Year.
After calculating, he replied, [Probably around 10 days.]
[Good, Iâll come to find you then.]
â¦
After lunch, Mo Weiyi took a nap.
Though itâs in the countryside, the air is fresh and quiet, making it an ideal place for a nap, especially in this cold winter.
He heard faint voices while he was in a daze.
âMom, why didnât you tell me Yiyi came to keep you company?â
âDo I need to tell you about these things?â
Xu Jing sighed, âMom, I care about you. I came to see you as soon as I got off work.â
âYou should care more about your good daughter.â
âYunyao has already gone to Italy.â When it came to Qu Yunyao, Xu Jing couldnât help but sigh again, âI really didnât expect Yunyao to end up like this.â
âAs a mother, you didnât discipline her, and when your daughter does the wrong thing, sighing wonât help.â
âMom, how can you blame me for this? Ever since I got divorced, itâs been a struggle to make ends meet. Yunyao is always out working. How can I keep an eye on her all the time? She used to be so sensible, how could I know she would end up like this?â
âEnough with your crying, Yiyi is sleeping inside. Lower your voice!â
Following Grandma Xuâs reprimand, Xu Jingâs crying dwindled.
After a while, the elderly ladyâs voice rang out again, âWhat are you planning to do in the future?â
With her daughter studying abroad in Italy, and only Xu Jing left in Nancheng, Grandma Xu was naturally concerned.
Xu Jing said, âIâve found several tutoring jobs and even joined a drama group. Iâm planning to save up money by participating in every performance opportunity I get. Currently, Yunyaoâs tuition even burdens my brother-in-law.â
âYaoxiong helping you despite everything, is only because of Axian. Ah, itâs just a pity that Axian passed away too soon. She didnât get to enjoy this blessing.â
âMom, are you still blaming me? The issue back then, it was clearly sister whoâ¦ââ
âStop it! Are you trying to let Yiyi hear?â
âIâ¦ââ
Mo Weiyi opened his eyes wide, trying to listen closely, but he found there was no more sound outside.
The conversation was interrupted mid-way, they evidently didnât want him to hear.
Mo Weiyi frowned and struggled to get up from his bed.
Hearing the noise inside, the old ladyâs voice came from outside again, âYiyi, are you awake?â
Mo Weiyi put on a coat, walked over and opened the door, âGrandma.â
In the living room, Xu Jing, who was sitting on the couch, quickly got up to greet him, âYiyi, youâre awake.â
Her eyes were still reddish â an obvious sign that she had been crying recently.
Mo Weiyi looked at her, her clear and bright cat-like eyes saying, âAuntie, what were you just talking about with Grandma?â
