When the old man heard this, his expression became a bit fiery . “Surname is Jing? What’s your father’s name? Mother? Who’s in your family?”
Jing Yunzhao felt weirder and weirder .
“I’m sorry, old senior . I’m an orphan . I’m the only one in my family . ” Jing Yunzhao replied .
Ye Qin was already dead . She had also already left The Qiaos . Her biological parents’ whereabouts were unknown . Whether they were alive or dead was definitely also unknown . So calling herself an orphan wasn’t pus.h.i.+ng it .
After Jing Yunzhao finished talking, the old man’s eyebrows clumped together . He reached out his hands to pull Jing Yunzhao back into the yard . “Then are you a native here? Do you know a woman surnamed Xu (徐)? She’s around in her forties…”
<hr>Jing Yunzhao was a bit dumbfounded . She nodded and then shook her head . Her expression was a bit stiff .
The old man stared at her . The disappointment in his eyes was clearer than before .
“Looking closely, doesn’t look that similar . Too young . Eyes that sharp . The light in the eyes isn’t gentle enough . Looks too heroic…” the old man said some weird things . He breathed in and looked a bit unsteady . The middle-aged man beside him quickly rushed up to help him . the old man waved his hand . “Old man’s surname is Xu . Sorry for unsettling you earlier . I hope you, little girl, won’t mind it . ”
(T/N: The old man addresses himself as “old man” or “lao fu” (老夫) . Most old men do it . )
“It’s okay, grandpa . ” Looking at him, Jing Yunzhao couldn’t blame him .
The old man surnamed Xu looked very worn out and turned around to go back to the house . But after a few steps, he turned around and looked at her, “Do you have more goods to sell?”
Jing Yunzhao nodded . Yes . And she had a lot of it .
“Come again tomorrow at this time,” said the old man and then left her .
