Chapter 522: 522, is the little princess coming down to experience the common people's life?
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 open…
Mo Weiyi thought that Grandma Xu would be somewhat affected by these matters, but he didn’t 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, “Yiyi, there’s nobody here to look after you, wouldn’t that be uncomfortable?”
“Don’t worry, Grandma, aren’t you here?”
“I am old now…”
“Then I will take care of you.”
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 didn’t 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 didn’t even have to lift a finger. The old lady did everything herself.
Mo Weiyi wasn’t even allowed to help.
…
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.
[So, you’re staying on a farm now?]
[Is the little princess experiencing the common people’s life?]
[Got tired of feasting, so you’re switching to a simple diet?]
[Where is the princess wandering now?]
[Throw your address here! Let’s hang out!]
The friends on WeChat were all people he had met at gatherings. He didn’t even remember who many of them were, so he didn’t care about their comments.
And the one person he did care about wouldn’t respond to him anyway.
In fact, since getting WeChat, he hadn’t ever sent any messages or posted in his circle of friends. He barely bothers to look at it. He guessed he wouldn’t respond even if he did see it.
But Ling Zhizhou did send him a message.
[Big sis, where are you traveling?]
Mo Weiyi replied, [I’m at Grandma’s house.]
[Is it Xu Yuan Village?]
Mo Weiyi was surprised, [How did you know?]
[I used to live there.]
Mo Weiyi didn’t 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 hadn’t decided how many days he would stay, but he would definitely have to return to the Mo’s old house for the Chinese New Year.
After calculating, he replied, [Probably around 10 days.]
[Good, I’ll come to find you then.]
…
After lunch, Mo Weiyi took a nap.
Though it’s 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.
“Mom, why didn’t you tell me Yiyi came to keep you company?”
“Do I need to tell you about these things?”
Xu Jing sighed, “Mom, I care about you. I came to see you as soon as I got off work.”
“You should care more about your good daughter.”
“Yunyao has already gone to Italy.” When it came to Qu Yunyao, Xu Jing couldn’t help but sigh again, “I really didn’t expect Yunyao to end up like this.”
“As a mother, you didn’t discipline her, and when your daughter does the wrong thing, sighing won’t help.”
“Mom, how can you blame me for this? Ever since I got divorced, it’s 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?”
“Enough with your crying, Yiyi is sleeping inside. Lower your voice!”
Following Grandma Xu’s reprimand, Xu Jing’s crying dwindled.
After a while, the elderly lady’s voice rang out again, “What are you planning to do in the future?”
With her daughter studying abroad in Italy, and only Xu Jing left in Nancheng, Grandma Xu was naturally concerned.
Xu Jing said, “I’ve found several tutoring jobs and even joined a drama group. I’m planning to save up money by participating in every performance opportunity I get. Currently, Yunyao’s tuition even burdens my brother-in-law.”
“Yaoxiong helping you despite everything, is only because of Axian. Ah, it’s just a pity that Axian passed away too soon. She didn’t get to enjoy this blessing.”
“Mom, are you still blaming me? The issue back then, it was clearly sister who…””
“Stop it! Are you trying to let Yiyi hear?”
“I…””
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 didn’t want him to hear.
Mo Weiyi frowned and struggled to get up from his bed.
Hearing the noise inside, the old lady’s voice came from outside again, “Yiyi, are you awake?”
Mo Weiyi put on a coat, walked over and opened the door, “Grandma.”
In the living room, Xu Jing, who was sitting on the couch, quickly got up to greet him, “Yiyi, you’re awake.”
Her eyes were still reddish – an obvious sign that she had been crying recently.
Mo Weiyi looked at her, her clear and bright cat-like eyes saying, “Auntie, what were you just talking about with Grandma?”
