Grandma Ye sighed, her withered face full of heartache, "He has longed for family affection since he was a child. When he saw other children being at the knees of their parents, he would always stop and watch with envy. Later, he was afraid that I would worry, so he never showed any signs of it.
But I know that he longs for a pair of parents more than anyone else."
"Aren't you his grandma?"
"I also hope to have such a good grandson, but unfortunately I am not blessed and several children have died in infancy."
"Did you kindly adopt Ye Feng?" Gu Chunuan asked cautiously.
Grandma Ye's pained look flashed away, and she seemed unwilling to talk more about this issue. She just said lightly, "Well, I just gave him a steamed bun. This child is very grateful and has taken good care of me for so many years.
It can be said that you have suffered a lot for me."
"Can I come in and take a look?"
"sure."
Grandma Ye still wanted to take her in, but Gu Chunuan quickly helped her sit down, "Your eyesight is not good, and your legs and feet are not good, so I can go in by myself."
"Ahem... Mainly because the house is too small and the roof is a bit low. I'm afraid the girl will hit the roof."
"I just have to be careful."
The house was simple and simple, with only two rooms. Grandma Ye lived in the inner room. The bed was covered with straw, a thick blanket, and a thin quilt.
There was a wooden bed in the outer room with no bedding, only a few layers of dry straw and a rag as a quilt.
Because the outhouse is connected to the kitchen, it looks even more simple. As soon as you enter the house, there is a pungent smell of Chinese medicine.
"The smell of medicine seems a bit strong, let me clean it up."
"It's okay. My family used to run a medical clinic. I've been used to the smell of medicine since I was a child. This little smell of medicine is nothing."
There is also a small table and two small stools outside, which are clean and equipped with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Gu Chunuan casually picked up a small piece of paper, with two lines of words written in beautiful silk and regular script inside.
"Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, as long as your innocence remains in this world."
Gu Chunuan frowned, thinking hard about what Ye Feng meant when he wrote these two sentences.
"Mother-in-law, Ye Feng was second in the Douwen Competition. Didn't the Emperor reward you with a lot of jewels? Why are you still living so hard?"
Grandma Ye lowered her head. She didn't know what she was thinking of, and her body was trembling slightly. It took a long time before she turned pale and managed a smile.
"It's because I'm weak and sick. All the money was spent on my medical treatment."
Gu Chunuan looked at her suspiciously.
This nonsense is so poorly crafted.
With so much gold, silver and jewelry, even if you go to see a miracle doctor, you can't possibly spend it in such a short period of time.
"Girl, it's still early. I'm going to make some porridge. If you don't mind, you can have some light meals at my house."
"Thank you, mother-in-law. I've already eaten. You don't need to bother. By the way, I bought some food and clothing for you. I hope my mother-in-law won't dislike it."
"No, no, no reward, no merit, how can I ask for your things?"
"Ye Feng and I are friends. This is just a little care between friends, not worth a lot of money."
"Ahem...that's not okay. The girl can come to my house often in the future, but we really can't accept these things. If Xiaofeng is here, he won't accept them either."
The noodle stall owner came over at some point, and when he saw this, he seemed to be used to it, "Girl, I just wanted to tell you, Granny Ye and Ye Feng don't accept things easily, even if you just give him a piece of grass, they will
I won’t accept it. Even if I accept it, I will return it to you a thousand times. I think you should take these things away. Hey..."
The noodle stall owner was talking to himself.
"I thought Grandma Ye would charge a little bit because she was a guest from afar, but I didn't expect she would charge nothing."
Gu Chunuan was heartbroken.
She proposed it for so long, but she didn’t accept it?
Thinking of Ye Feng's temperament, Gu Chunuan seemed to understand something.
