Chapter 642: 180: Shangguan Furong was slapped_1
Zheng Lingling did not go back immediately, instead watching as Doctor Jiang’s figure disappeared into the twilight.
Doctor Jiang is about the same age as Old Lady Zheng, in her sixties this year.
She has never married and currently lives alone.
As soon as Zheng Lingling returned to the villa, Old Lady Zheng asked, “Has your Aunt Jiang gone home?”
“Hmm.” Zheng Lingling nodded.
Old Lady Zheng continued, “Your Aunt Jiang lives alone, so if you have time, remember to take Xianjing to visit her. If it weren’t for your Aunt Jiang bringing you home all those years ago, where would we niece and aunt have the chance to meet? Blink and over thirty years have passed, and your Aunt Jiang is old now.”
Again bringing up the past!
This damn old woman just can’t forget about those years!
She has changed her tone and called her mother, but this damn old woman always remembers their relationship as aunt and niece!
She never really considered her a daughter.
All the filial piety over the years went down the drain.
Zheng Lingling clenched her teeth in anger, but still had to put on a smile, “Alright, mom.”
Old Lady Zheng nodded, “I’m going to my room first.”
“Mom, dinner is about to be served.” Zheng Lingling said.
Old Lady Zheng said, “You go ahead and eat. I’ve just had some Ginseng Soup and I’m not hungry.”
Zheng Lingling anxiously said, “How can you not eat dinner? Should I bring it up to you later?”
“No need.” Old Lady Zheng waved her hand.
On this October night, the stars in the sky were sparse and clear. Mr. Zheng stood on the third-floor terrace, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes showing an indescribable look.
The terrace was designed as a Sky Garden, where Mr. Zheng typically enjoyed sitting in a lounge chair amidst bunches of flaming torches and listening to the opera.
Old Lady Zheng walked up to Mr. Zheng and said in as light a tone as possible, “What are you thinking about?”
“I was thinking about our Tingting.” Mr. Zheng’s voice was very calm, “Over thirty years have passed, I wonder how Tingting is doing now…”
Old Lady Zheng reached out and held Mr. Zheng’s hand, “Tingting must be doing well.”
“Hmm.” Mr. Zheng nodded.
Zheng Xianjing came in from outside with a tray, “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s time to eat.”
The old couple wiped away their tears at the same time.
Zheng Xianjing came over and placed the food on the table, “Grandpa, Grandma, you should eat something. How can you not eat anything?”
Old Lady Zheng nodded.
After Ni Yang and Village Chief Li discussed the road construction, Li called for a village meeting the next day.
Everyone was very excited after hearing the news.
The biggest issue in rural areas is the roads.
Bad roads mean that vehicles cannot enter, which hinders development.
Moreover, during rainy days, the dirt roads would become extremely muddy. This not only inconvenience the elderly and children, but also leaves everyone covered with mud.
Ni Yang funding the road construction could be considered a great deed!
“Village Chief, is this true?”
The others joined in the discussion as well.
Village Chief Li laughed, “Er Mazi, look at what you’re asking, would I joke about something ?”
“Yangyang is our village’s little lucky star!”
“What do you mean, little lucky star? She’s a big lucky star!”
Village Chief Li continued, “Everyone, quiet down. The thing is, since Yangyang is funding this, we can’t be inconsiderate. My suggestion is that each household contributes labor if they can, and if they can’t, they can provide meals!”
We can’t let Ni Yang bear all the work, labor, and expenses alone.
“Okay, I have no objections!”
“I don’t have any objections either!”
Village Chief Li smiled, “Since everyone agrees, then it is settled. Meeting adjourned.”
The next day, Village Chief Li brought in a construction team.
Everyone with free time at home voluntarily came over to help.
During the afternoon, they even took the initiative to bring snacks and tea to the construction team.
When the surrounding villages found out that Jinghua Village was building a road, they couldn’t help but feel envious.
Today is the 18th, the day the Shangguan family is coming to the Ni family for a visit and to acknowledge relations.
To show their regard for the Shangguan family, and also to properly entertain them.
Ni Cuihua and Ni Yang moved to their new house a day earlier.
Everything in the new house is new, with nothing to move, as long as people move in, that was all.
And Ni Chenggui lives next door, which makes sharing meals convenient.
Mo Qishen came early in the morning.
Today, Ni Chenggui also took a special day off.
