Chapter 56

busy people nodded.That tall, imposing man pushed Rong Zhaonan into the room and said, "Go, bring out the thought inspection."Ke Rong Zhao led him to the backyard of the house, and then suddenly dodge...Inferiority is an emotion.

Ning Yuan wilted.

If she remembered correctly from his resume, Rong Zhaonan's educational background wasn't low either.

As the least cultured person in the room, she deeply reflected on her past view of Xia Ajia as an uncouth rural woman.

"Cough, that was ages ago. What's there to say Get over it!" Summer Aunty walked in carrying a pot and gave Old Tang a withering look.

Kan Ningyuan, however, heard a hint of sweetness in the old woman's words.

She watched Xia A-po scolding and at the same time giving Tang Lao a bowl of red sugar egg soup. A complex feeling arose in her heart.

During the Republic of China era, a beautiful bank heiress and a suave young man who had studied abroad fell deeply in love at first sight in a foreign land.

Along the way, we have walked through years of war and turmoil. From our vibrant youth to our difficult old age, we have accompanied each other.

From the moment we first met, until our very last breath, we shall walk the same path, through life and death. You are the most precious thing in my world.

What could be more touching than this scene.

Ning Yuan felt both envy and emotion.

"So, what do you think people would say if they moved into the old temple" Rong Zhaonan spoke abruptly.

Ning Yuan remained silent.

This village, the former landowner lived in a land temple representing feudal superstition. What can be said

Maybe someone will seize upon this and make something bad happen to the elderly couple!

Now that I think about it, even with Rong Zhaonan's abilities, if the old couple lived in such a dilapidated house, he would find a way to repair it.

But he didn't do that. Even when the roof of the cowshed leaked, he would rather catch water in a basin than repair it.

...is not like he said before - lazy.

But they were all very careful, this was their camouflage.

It was her lack of consideration and self-importance.

Ning Yuan felt some guilt and remorse: "I'm sorry, Lao Tang..."

"Fine, I didn't say anything. Do you need you little punk to teach people a lesson here" Summer grandma suddenly slapped Rong Zhao Nan on the butt with a bad temper.

Rong Zhaonan was startled, his sword eyebrows furrowed: "Don't just pat people's butts..."

Summer the Elder widened her eyes: "Well now, you ungrateful child! Do you think I'm doing you a favor When I was sweeping the whole village, no, the entire province and even England with my charm, your father wasn't even wearing pants!"

She said, taking off her shoe and continuing to chase Rong Zhaonan, spanking him: "You old man messed with the wrong person! Deserves a good thrashing!"

"Not..." Rong Zhaonan rushed out the door, his handsome face turning dark with fury.

He didn't understand, what did he do wrong, why was he being beaten, and still with a spanking!

Ning Yuan couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of him being chased by Xia Ah Po, muttering to herself—

Serves you right, for being so weird and acting like your father! You got what you deserved!

Lao Tang also shook his head helplessly with a wry smile: "My old lady was still quite sensible when she was young, but the older she gets, the more mischievous she becomes. You guys should understand."

Ning Yuan fell silent for a moment before saying, "If not forced by life, who wouldn't want to be a quiet and well-protected lady of the house Besides, Grandmother was originally such a person."

A young woman who studied abroad and was raised in a wealthy family completely transformed into a rural old woman who stole chickens, mouthed off, and snatched food.

Could it be that she wants this

Just like decades later, men would sarcastically say that women who have children become fat, only do housework and are boring and nagging housewives who deserve to be cheated on.

Well, weren't they beautiful and youthful girls before they had children and got married

Tang Lao looked at Ning Yuan, a little stunned: "Is that what you think"

Ning Yuan looked at Lao Tang and said softly, "You are a gentle intellectual. Even after being battered by life, you still strive to maintain the demeanor of an intellectual."

She paused for a moment: "But during difficult times, you can't afford to be face-saving. If you want to survive, someone has to be the one who isn't."

Summer Grandma became the one who wasn't present among them.

Tang Lao stared at her, suddenly his eyes reddened. He took off his glasses and closed his eyes.

"Yes, she's always been protecting me, taking care of everything behind the scenes and working hard to make a living. I, as a man, can't even contribute... but she doesn't blame me."

Handling the manure carts, composting, doing the dirtiest, stinkiest and most tiring work in the whole village, none of that is a problem.

He endured all the pain in between, thanks to Grandma Xia who blocked him with the ferocity of a shrew, screaming and rolling around, smashing things, preventing anyone from hitting him.

Ning Yuan watched Tang Lao cry, dumbfounded. She quickly took out a handkerchief and gave it to him: "Don't cry, sir. It was wrong of me to say those things."

She didn't want to make the elderly person cry.

"You little brat, what are you doing You even made me cry!" Suddenly, Grandma Xia rushed into the room with her shoe bottom raised, glaring fiercely at Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan jumped in fright, quickly stood up and raised her hands: "I didn't, I... I... I did nothing."

The old woman wouldn't hit her, would she She still remembered how fierce she was when she beat Rong Zhaonan's butt just now.

Xia A-po glared at her with complex and irritated eyes, suddenly threw down the shoe sole and put it on, angrily chased her away.

"Get out, get out! You little brat, take your dead child and go back home. Don't get in my way here!"

Ning Yuan nodded briskly and then turned to run.

She ran two steps, then suddenly remembered something. She turned around and grabbed her flashlight, gave a nervous chuckle towards the menacing Xia Ah Po, and ran away again.

Looking at Ningyuan's back running far away, Grandma Xia only turned her head angrily and scolded her own old man.

"You said you were bored, what's the point of talking about those things with a little kid They're all in the past. I'm embarrassed enough already!"

"Regardless of who you've become, even if the former Miss Qianjin has transformed into Xia Ah-Po from the village, in my eyes, you are still the Miss Ah-Xia of the past."

Tang Lao held Xia A-po's hand and said gently.

Xia A-po's withered face flushed red, and she muttered, "You old rascal always love to make sour remarks."

Tang Lao smiled and suddenly asked, "What do you think of this little girl, Xiao Yuan Could I teach her to read in the future After all, I should have an heir to pass on all my skills"ickering oil lamp, Ning Yuan carefully bent down, gently treating the wounds on his face.He narrowed his eyes, discovering that this girl was truly 'fond' of his face—simply fond of his face.This disc...
