”Yes.”

Both of them had a tacit understanding not to say anything more.

Shen Yi put the clothes in the laundry room downstairs but didn't throw them away. After washing the bed sheets, he started to carefully wash the clothes that he said he would throw away.

After drying the sheets on the balcony, she threw the clean clothes into the dryer. It was almost dry now, so she took it out and left it in the laundry room downstairs. She could do it when she returned in the evening.

When she was done, she washed her hands and knocked on the door to the old lady's room upstairs.

The windows were already open to keep the air ventilated, so when he entered the room, there was almost no smell. When the old lady on the beauty bed heard her enter, she didn't even raise her head as she asked, ”How was today's blind date?”

After some thought, Shen Chu took the blanket and walked towards her, covering her legs, and naughtily blinked his eyes and asked: ”Do you want to guess how good this one is?” He sat down on the carpet beside the couch and raised his head to look at the old lady who was looking at him with raised eyelids.

He really did look like a junior in the midst of behaving coquettishly.

The old lady looked at her indifferently for a few minutes, then moved the hardcover book in her hand, not closing it. ”Married?”

After all, the era was different. The best she could imagine was that of a married man.

Shen Yuxin giggled, ”Guess again?”

It was already the early summer. Sunlight shone in from outside. One of them leaned against the couch while holding the heavy book with one hand and frowning as he thought. The other leaned against her foot with his chin.

The old lady thought about it for a long time, then she shook her head and gave up. ”Forget it, young people nowadays are different from us back then. I really can't guess.”

Seeing her thinking about this matter, the hidden awkwardness and disappointment on her face gradually disappeared. She stood up and smiled, ”This is probably related to the era. I feel that I would be lucky if I was born in your era.” The coffee on the table beside her had long since cooled. She picked up the jug and coffee cup, smiled, and went downstairs, leaving the room to the proud old lady.

He went down to wash them and put them away in the cupboard before starting to prepare dinner.

In the past, the old lady also had times of incontinence. At that time, when she just arrived at their home, the old lady's daughter-in-law had a loud and straightforward temper. She ordered Shen Chu to clean the old lady's clothes and bed in front of her family and her son.

The old lady did not make a fuss, but instead began a hunger strike the next day. After that, she worried her son to death, and on the third day, she nearly kneeled down in front of her bed to tell him what she was unhappy about.

The old lady was both angry and embarrassed. How could she say such a thing out loud? In the end, he didn't even want to talk to his son anymore. Seeing that he was stuck in a stalemate, the old man felt dizzy after being stuck for two days.

Later on, Shen Yuxin carefully combined it with the old lady's expression that day to find out what was going on, and then asked that overly straightforward daughter-in-law for a few words of advice.

At that time, the old lady's son was still alive and the couple had a good relationship. When they realized that their big mouth had angered the old lady, yet they still tried to kill themselves by hunger strike, they felt extremely ashamed and wanted to apologize to the old lady in front of her face.

Shen Chuxin said, ”I can't apologize.”

The old lady's wife was puzzled. ”I did something wrong. Is there anything wrong with apologizing to the old man?”

Shen Chuxin lowered his eyes and just softly said, ”I can't apologize.”

People say that a knowing child is like a mother, but the old lady's son is a very filial man. When Shen Chuxin's words were passed on to him by his wife, he thought for a moment and understood.

Later on, while coaxing the old lady to start eating something she liked, he had his wife send his son to cry with the old lady, saying that he accidentally peed on the bed last night and didn't dare fold the blankets.

If his family knew that he was eleven years old and still wet his bed... The young man's pride could not be underestimated, nor would he dare to talk to his parents about it, not to mention that he still had Shen Chuxin and another servant at home. This kind of thing …

The old lady's face blushed and blushed, her heart was softened by her grandson's crying. While she comforted him by patting his head, she understood the filial piety of her son's family.

That was the end of it.

Later on, the old lady somehow knew that Shen Chu was the first to notice this, and started to be a little more amiable towards her. Shen Chuxin stayed in the Su family for three years through that incident.

In fact, sometimes things are just so strange, knowing and being pointed out and shouting out can seriously hurt your self-esteem.

While everyone maintained their weak self-esteem in silence, their feelings were getting deeper and deeper.

In the evening, Xiaosu came early, Shen Chuxin rarely came home early.

When Xiaosu saw that she had packed a few pieces of clothing the old lady wasn't wearing, she couldn't help but ask, ”You threw these clothes away, didn't you?”

Shen Chu Xin nodded, but left the Su Family without saying anything.
