Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Old Madam Pei Kicks Over Ye Qilan Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Old Madam Pei Kicks Over Ye Qilan This question left Qingwu a bit stunned, and it also made Pei Jue a bit nervous on the side!
The old Madam Pei frowned as she looked at Qingwu in front of her.
“It’s just an engagement, it doesn’t matter. If you’re unsure, just cancel it.”
Pei Jue frowned and said, “Grandma!”
He knew he shouldn’t have let the old Madam Pei meet Qingwu!
The old Madam Pei unhappily tapped the table and raised her eyebrows to look at Pei Jue.
“Shut up, did I ask you to speak? No respect at all! Get lost!”
She didn’t take this engagement seriously at all.
The old Madam Pei knew all too well what kind of character her grandson had.
Qingwu thought for a moment and honestly replied, “I’m not planning to marry him at the moment, but that’s because I don’t intend to marry anyone right now. I don’t dislike Pei Jue, we’re… friends, I guess.”
Pei Jue breathed a sigh of relief on the side.
As long as Qingwu didn’t dislike him, he still had a chance!
“Not too foolish. If you’re planning to get married at such a young age, I would look down on you, and your grandma’s spirit in heaven would be so angry she’d climb out of her coffin to knock on your head.”
While applying hand cream, the old Madam Pei made sharp remarks about her grandson.
“Pei Jue’s character is better than his dad’s, and better than his grandpa’s. Not stupid or cowardly. But if he wants to get a wife, he still needs to suffer some hardships.”
“Men, they never cherish things that come too easily.”
In her view, Qingwu was still young, and if she was planning to marry Pei Jue at less than twenty, she probably wasn’t too bright.
“You know my grandma?”
“Isn’t she Lin Huazhen? When she was young, she was the apple of the old Pei’s eye. Your grandma didn’t even like anyone from the Pei Family. If you easily took to Ajue, I wouldn’t think highly of you.”
The old Madam Pei squinted, the wrinkles on her face bunching together, her thin lips carrying a touch of odd sharpness.
“Back in the day, whether it was old Pei or your grandpa or Ye Qilan, weren’t they just passersby around your grandma? Unfortunately, they were all flies that buzzed twice and got swatted.”
Qingwu didn’t quite understand what happened with her grandma back in the day, so she couldn’t really judge the old Madam Pei’s wording.
Pei Jundu looked at the fried chicken and cola on the table and frowned, “Mom, are you eating this in the morning?”
The old Madam Pei lifted her cold eyes, “How old are you?”
“Me? I’m fifty.”
“I’m seventy-six. If you eat nothing, you may not even live to my age, so mind your own business if you want to live a few years longer.”
Pei Jundu’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t say a word!
Shen Shaojia suppressed a laugh, giving a thumbs-up, “Grandma, you’re amazing!”
The old Madam Pei smiled slightly, handing something to Shen Shaojia, “I want to go fishing, you all carry my stuff.”
The Pei Family owned a resort, just half an hour away from the Leisure Inn.
An elderly lady in her seventies or eighties wanting to go fishing at the resort might seem wild, but with the old Madam Pei, it seemed quite normal.
While helping the old Madam Pei into the car, Qingwu took a moment to feel her pulse.
The old Madam Pei, somewhat sharp, looked at Qingwu’s serious side profile, her sparkling face carrying a hint of charm, especially those eyes, astonishingly beautiful.
“What? Is there something wrong with my body?”
“How did you know I was checking your pulse, Grandma Pei?”
“I’m not dead enough yet to not notice someone feeling my pulse.”
Qingwu also kind of understood the way the old Madam Pei spoke.
This old lady, although sharp-tongued, wasn’t bad at heart.
“Grandma Pei, you haven’t been resting well lately? You seem to sleep very late every day.”
“Very well. I look at the male models on my phone just before bed every night and sleep soundly, though a bit late.”
Qingwu: “…”
“Do you often have headaches, Grandma Pei?”
“Yes, I get headaches every time the Pei Family people call me, and I can’t not answer, or they’d think I’ve died at the nursing home.”
Qingwu: “…”
“Do you often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, Grandma Pei?”
“Oh, that’s just from getting old and gaining weight. I can’t fit into my young days’ dresses anymore. It’s quite suffocating.”
No matter what Qingwu said, the old Madam Pei always had an excuse.
Qingwu smiled lightly. The old Madam just wanted to give Pei Jue, who was following behind, peace of mind.
Retracting her hand, she said knowingly, “Grandma Pei is very healthy.”
The old Madam Pei smiled with satisfaction.
Shen Shaojia gaped in surprise, “Xiao Wu, you can diagnose illnesses? I thought you were just playing doctor every day when you checked Grandpa’s pulse!”
Qingwu smiled helplessly.
“I’m already nineteen, sister.”
Even if she were interested in playing doctor, Elder Shen wouldn’t accompany her in playing pretend!
“But I remember that Second Brother studied clinical medicine, he doesn’t diagnose by pulse. Who did you learn from?”
The old Madam Pei raised an eyebrow, “From her grandma, I suppose. When her grandma was young, she loved these things, saying that traditional Chinese medicine is the real deal. She was always mysterious about it. Alright, shut up now. I’m going to take a nap.”
When Qingwu was little, she did learn some things related to traditional Chinese medicine from Lin Huazhen, but it was just identifying herbs and acupoints.
Seeing the old Madam Pei had already started to close her eyes to rest, Shen Shaojia didn’t ask further.
Her sister had really lived a hard life in the past!
Shen Shaojia automatically pictured Qingwu’s difficult life, imagining a thin little Qingwu sitting on the field ridge with the old Madam Lin, identifying herbs and selling them for money…
Her heart ached, and she picked up her phone to transfer some money to Qingwu.
Seeing the sudden transaction alert on her phone, Qingwu was puzzled.
Why was money being transferred to her out of the blue?
Shen Shaojia noted: “Sister’s hard work! This month’s allowance!”
Just as she picked up her phone, she received another transfer from Pei Jue.
Pei Jue: “Consultation fee, thank you, fiancée.”
Looking at the numbers behind it, one million three hundred fourteen thousand five hundred twenty yuan, who pays such a special amount for a consultation?
At the resort, the old Madam Pei picked up the fishing rod, “You all go have fun, I’ve got someone to meet. Don’t bother me.”
With that, she directed Pei Jundu to pick up the fishing gear and walk toward the reservoir.
There was already an old man sitting by the reservoir, seemingly arranged to meet the old Madam Pei.
Shen Shaojia frowned, “Isn’t that Principal Ye? Is he the one meeting with Grandma?”
Qingwu shook her head, “I don’t know, but Grandma Pei probably knows Principal Ye.”
Pei Jue lowered his gaze, focusing on Qingwu.
“Is Grandma in good health?”
“Just basic ailments, sleep disorders, emotional fluctuations, shortness of breath. I’ll prescribe some medicine for Grandma Pei, and she’ll be fine.”
Only then did Pei Jue feel reassured.
The old Madam Pei usually had a weird temper and wouldn’t tell the truth to the doctors around her.
The old Madam Pei, arms crossed, walked proudly towards Ye Qilan sitting by the reservoir.
Suddenly, Shen Shaojia widened her eyes!
Without a word, the old Madam Pei lifted her foot and kicked Ye Qilan right in!
