Zhang Shi smiled, “Xiu’er, your mother has told me about an affair between you and your uncle. Grandma doesn’t blame you. Shangwen, he… he indeed has changed. Do you know what your grandpa hoped the most before dying?”

“What?” Tang Xiu’s smile slowly disappeared as he asked in a low voice.

“He hoped for Shangwen to go bankrupt,” said Zhang Shi as she sighed.

Puzzled, Tang Xiu’s brows raised, “Why?”

“His disposition was good, he was gentle and polite to anyone when he had no money back then. But after he got rich, he offended the young and the elderly in the village. Furthermore, he hasn’t visited the village for three years. Your mother and you must have endured a lot of pain all these years in Star City. But he… Ohh!”

Upon hearing it, Tang Xiu’s heart warmed. However, he keenly felt his grandmother’s bitter feelings. After all, Su Shangwen was her biological son, how would she not want her son to be good?

After pondering for a short moment, Tang Xiu slowly said, “Grandma, let him stay in prison for a few years! When he’s been whetted sufficiently, able to turn a new leaf and become more humane, I’ll think of ways to get him out.”

Zhang Shi’s eyes suffused with excitement and silently nodded.

Tang Xiu spoke again, “Grandma, after I heal your legs, how about you come to Star City to live with us? Our family’s living conditions have gotten a lot better. Mom opened a restaurant and her business is very good. Although I just graduated and finished my CET, I also run some businesses and make a lot of money. You should come with us to enjoy your life in the future.”

Zhang Shi laughed, “Xiu’er, Grandma thanks you for your filial piety. But grandma has to decline. My body is already half buried in the grave. If I were to go, wouldn’t I become more trouble for you? Let’s forget it! I’ve lived here for a lifetime, I’ll live here until the end of my days. Why should I toss myself blindly?”

Tang Xiu said, “Grandma, you still have me and you can still live quite long. Relax! Just come with us to Star City. You won’t trouble us. I myself have to go to study in Shanghai soon, so Mom will live alone there. If you go with us, you can also accompany her.”

“This…” with a bit of hesitation, Zhang Shi looked at Su Lingyun who was full of anticipation all over her face.

Su Lingyun quickly said, “Mom, I really don’t feel relieved leaving you here alone. Please listen to Xiu’er! Come with us to Star City. We mother and daughter can live together. Our conditions weren’t good in the past, but now it’s better. We also have a big villa and a big restaurant. Xiu’er also has a big company there.”

Zhang Shi took a deep breath. She shook her head, “Little Yun, Xiu’er. Don’t urge me. I’ve been living here for years. I won’t get used to it if I changed the environment all of a sudden. Our village’s neighbors are good to me and they usually take care of the things when I got them. You take care of your life, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Su Lingyun’s expression turned grim. She knew her mother’s disposition very well. Once she made a decision, she probably wouldn’t change her mind even if her argument was solid.

Tang Xiu thought for a moment and said, “Grandma, since you really don’t want to go to Star City, you can stay here, but we should repair this house. I’ll take some money to rebuild the house. Furthermore, I’ll hire two nannies in Star City to stay here to accompany and look after of you.”

Zhang Shi waved her hand, “No. I live here, there’s no need to rebuild the house. It will take a lot of money! Besides, I’m just a poor old lady, why would I need nannies to serve me? Although I’m old, my legs are still fast. I don’t need people to take care of me!”

Standing on the side, an astonished expression suffused in Chen Huiying’s eyes as she asked, “Lingyun, was what you said just now true? Your restaurant is flourishing, you live in a big villa and Tang Xiu also has a company?”

Nodding, Su Lingyun said, “I’m telling the truth. The business has been good for the last two months. As for the villa and the company, it’s Xiu’er’s hard work.”

Chen Huiying’s expression when she looked at Tang Xiu was suddenly different. She recalled the car Tang Xiu used and felt that Su Lingyun didn’t lie to her.

Suddenly, Tang Xiu’s eyes turned bright. He looked at Chen Huiying and asked, “Second Aunt, can we have a chat outside?”

Chen Huiying replied with a confused expression, “Chat outside? Why do want to chat outside? If you want to tell me something, you can speak it here!”

“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head. “I need to tell you something private. I also told Big Brother Ben that I want to buy the herbs he collected. A special kind of grass was mixed with the grasses your family feed the sheep; this kind of grass is actually a very good medicinal herb.”

Chen Huiying hesitated for a moment. She then nodded and said, “Alright, then let’s talk outside.”

The two went to the courtyard. Then, Tang Xiu spoke, “Second Aunt, about that medicinal herb, I have already told Big Brother Ben. The grass is called Silver Dragon Grass. It’s 1,000 yuan each. I’ll buy them from you for any amount you sell me. But the reason I want to talk to you here outside is something else.”

Chen Huiying knew nothing about medicinal herbs, so she didn’t ask. Then, she replied, “OK. Tell me!”
