Chapter 319: Chapter 316: Selective Hearing
Driving wolves to swallow tigers, since itâs already like this, letâs give Mom a nuclear strike.
Donât you want a grandson? Now letâs see if youâre scared when a granddaughter who can start elementary school just pops up.
At this moment, the living room fell into an eerie silence following his words.
The little girl, even though she saw strangers, wasnât scared. Especially around him, she was very polite in greeting:
"Hello, Grandma!"
The term "Grandma" doesnât necessarily have to mean biological grandma; it can also refer to an elderly lady. So the little girl didnât think much of it, after all, every time she went back to her hometown, her grandma would take her around, and she had called so many people grandma and grandpa she lost count.
But while she didnât think much of it, Zhou Hui couldnât handle it. When she heard the little girlâs "Su Daddy" and "Grandma," the spatula Zhou Hui had just picked up clattered to the ground. She looked at her son in disbelief, her brain short-circuiting, CPU fried, and she crashed.
Whatâs going on? Wasnât my grandson supposed to be still in some girlâs belly? How did this one come out?
And judging by the looks of it, sheâs at least five or six years old. Five or six years ago, Su Qing was still in high school, right? Could it be that my son made a mistake back then?
No way, if he really made a mistake, there would have been some news, right? Did he make a mistake, the girl went abroad, and only recently came back?
For a moment, Zhou Huiâs mind was flooded with all the plots from idol dramas and family ethics dramas, creating a category ten storm in her brain.
It seemed like a lot of thoughts, but it all happened in an instant. Just as Mom Zhou Hui was starting to believe it, a voice came from the doorway.
"Ha, I knew Xiao Yi youâd be here. Huh? Little Su has guests?"
The speaker was the landlordâs wife, wearing an elegant blue long skirt, holding onto Dahuang.
Dahuang, seeing Zhou Hui, immediately charged in excitedly and whimpered at Mom.
"Woof woof, woof woof~~" [Mom, thank goodness youâre here, control your son, please control him! I canât live anymore, theyâre going to kill the dog!]
Dahuangâs cries snapped Zhou Hui back to reality, and she immediately noticed Wen Nanqing standing at the door, shocked again.
Wow, this girl is so pretty. How many girls has my son got?
"Son... son, sheâs..."
"Mom, this is my landlord and her daughter. Wen Jie, this is my mom," Su Qing said with a smile.
At this point, he had completely let go; things had reached this stage, could it really get any worse?
Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing was visibly taken aback, then replied, feeling a bit nervous, "Hello, Auntie, Iâm friends with Xiao Su and also his landlord! Xiaoyun, have you greeted Grandma yet?"
"Yes, Mommy," the little girl responded, indicating that she was well-mannered.
"So good!"
At this point, Zhou Hui was completely numb. She just wanted a daughter-in-law and then a grandson or granddaughter to play with, but now whatâs happening, her goal seems not only met but exceeded.
Was this complete or not, her mind couldnât keep up.
"This... this, then why does she call my son daddy?" Facing Dahuangâs pitiful cries on the side, Zhou Hui ignored it, nudging it aside with her foot.
The sonâs problem hadnât been solved yet, why should a dog join in the fuss.
Wen Nanqing immediately understood and quickly explained:
"Auntie, youâve misunderstood. My daughter just really likes Dahuang, and over time, got familiar with Xiao Su and calls him Su Daddy." Saying this, she suddenly glanced at Shen Yi, who was in pajamas, and added, "Iâm friends with Shen Yi, sheâs my daughterâs aunt!"
Hearing this, Zhou Hui immediately understood and sorted out the relationships, letting out a sigh of relief.
Luckily, Iâm not suddenly a grandma, phew, okay. As long as itâs not real, calling someone daddy is fine, even being a goddaughter is okay, but my grandson must be born to my son.
Soon, Zhou Huiâs expression visibly softened, showing a benevolent face as she crouched down to pat the little girlâs head: "Oh my, this little girl is so pretty. Tell Grandma, how old are you?"
"Iâm almost six!"
"Oh, so good. Come in, come in. Su Qing, what are you standing there for, go get some water and fruit!" Zhou Hui commanded her son with a wave of her hand.
Her sonâs house was her house, and now that she was here, she naturally acted like the head of the household to entertain the guests.
Soon, Shen Yiâs one awkwardness turned into the awkwardness of both the landlordâs wife and Shen Yi. Who could have imagined that visiting a house could also mean meeting the parents?
Instead, Zhou Hui liked the little girl more and more, not to mention, the little girl Wen Yun really took after her mom, so lively. The only flaw was, she wasnât her sonâs child.
"Grandma, Grandma, can Dahuang come with me to Grandmaâs house?" The little girl clutched her mom, Zhou Huiâs hand, and called out.
Who knows how she distinguished between grandma and grandma.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hui waved her hand grandly, "Take that silly dog with you, let it play with you. If Dahuang misbehaves, come back and tell Grandma, and Grandma will teach it a lesson!"
Su Qing: ...
Shen Yi: ...
For some reason, the two of them found the words quite familiar.
As for Dahuang, it was in despair, lying in the corner pretending to be dead, wishing for the end, tired!
"Auntie, itâs like this, Iâm preparing to take my daughter back to my hometown today. Since I need to take Dahuang with me, I came over to let Xiao Su know. Itâs getting late, so weâre leaving first!" The landlordâs wife noticed the off atmosphere and was ready to skedaddle.
She was obviously caught in the crossfire, when else would she run if not now, plus, she had no interest in her son, why endure such awkwardness, let Shen Yi deal with it instead.
"Yes, yes, Auntie, Iâm also going back with her, so Iâll be leaving first!" Shen Yi stood and bid farewell too.
She was the real victim, hair uncombed, face unwashed, still in pajamas, standing next to the glamorously dressed Wen Nanqing, feeling like she lost face. Her mind was a mess, just wanting to leave quickly.
"Stay a bit longer, itâs almost noon, why not have lunch together?"
Upon hearing this, both waved their hands: "No, no, Auntie, weâll come by another time!"
Soon, the two left with the little girl and Dahuang, determined to leave.
"Come by often, especially you, Xiao Shen, donât overwork yourself, let him do the chores!"
"Got it, Auntie, you take care!"
Watching the elevator slowly close, Zhou Hui reluctantly turned back, having not got a clear sense earlier, she didnât even know if the girl was expecting.
But no matter what, her son was finally accomplished. She turned around, hugging her son triumphantly, and exclaimed:
"Son, well done. This Xiao Shen, Momâs very pleased, ask her how much bride price sheâs asking. Mom will go to the bank in the afternoon to get the money!"
Su Qing: ...
"Mom, calm down, you need to control yourself, weâre just friends, friends. She had no food in her house, came over here to get some to eat, see, you scared her! Ran out in pajamas!"
"What do you know, donât think you can fool me because Iâm older, you two were in a room undressed, still want to hide from me? Listen, better hurry up and settle it, if not, having a kid first is fine. No problem, Momâs young, Mom will help take care of them. Look at their daughter, so pretty, she called me grandma." Zhou Hui excitedly stomped on the spot.
After waiting so long, finally seeing hope, Zhou Hui felt today was her lucky day.
"Mom, really thereâs none!"
"What? You say Xiao Shenâs dad likes to drink?"
Su Qing: "No, Mom, listen to me, Shen Yi doesnât mean that, who can bear being frightened by you?
"What? Wants a Land Rover? Okay, your dad will buy one!"
Su Qing: "Mom, their familyâs conditions are too much for us to afford!"
"Only asking for a 200k bride price, no problem!"
Su Qing: ...
Good one, selectively deaf.
