?Chapter 780: Chapter 770 Old Man Li Changes His Face Chapter 780: Chapter 770 Old Man Li Changes His Face She assumed Old Man Li couldn’t let go of her, but in fact, she had failed to fully understand Old Man Li’s personality and Qiu Shuping’s standing in the hearts of the Li family. Therefore, when he heard her words, he actually sighed in relief and then mumbled, “Alright then, when my wife comes back, I’ll come over to eat. She’s sure to come here and make a fuss, so I’d better not visit for a while. You’ll get some peace for a few days at least.”
Having been alone for over two years, Old Man Li indeed contemplated finding another companion, but he was very clear that Qiu Shuping would return in a couple of years. With this thought coming and going from one day to the next, he couldn’t make up his mind. Thus, he dragged his feet with hesitation, resulting in two elderly people, their ages combined nearly a hundred, entangled in a romantic ambiguity, with nothing substantial happening.
Aunt Xue hadn’t expected Old Man Li to so readily speak of leaving, rendering her at a loss as to what to do. Although she had been the first to raise the idea, she couldn’t bring herself to retract her words at that moment, even if she was angry inside, she had to endure it. Thinking of Old Man Li’s previous actions, she steeled her heart. After finishing her meal, she went straight into the storeroom and carried out the bags of grain Old Man Li had brought.
“Your sister-in-law will be back soon, and I don’t want to be in your way. Here are the bags of grain you brought when you visited. I haven’t touched a single one; take them all back. Let’s just say I’ve treated Brother Li to some meals these days,” Aunt Xue said, feigning generosity.
When Old Man Li first brought the grain, she wanted to display her virtuous quality, to show Brother Li that she wasn’t a woman who coveted his belongings. Reluctantly accepting the grain, she hadn’t touched it at all, and they’d been living off the rations she and her daughter had. She thought she already had the grain in the bag, but as soon as she heard the news about Qiu Shuping, Old Man Li changed his tune.
