Liu Yui: "Our Alii is now straightforwardly asking for things."
This was the reason for Liu Yui's happiness. Although not spoken, by arranging these six tiles back, her granddaughter was essentially asking for them, which, for Alii, was considered a rare straightforwardness.
For Liu Yui, she now had two kids under her care, but her greatest pain was that, despite sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, she just couldn't give it away.
One never asked, and the other, away at Jiang, couldn't be given to.
Sotis, she was really quite envious of Li Sanjiang, who could proudly pull money out of his pocket, give it to Xiao Yuan, who would accept it or even actively ask for it just to make the old man happy.
But the sa thing, Liu Yui couldn't do. She couldn't just like Li Sanjiang, carry a few large bills to give to the kids, could she?
Li Sanjiang didn't know the truth and enjoyed it, but knowing it herself and still doing the sa seed a bit nonsensical.
Aunt Liu: "I now see, it's my fault and Ali's for asking you for things too little, making you less happy, my fault, my fault."
Liu Yui: "The Qin and Liu families' ancestral secret place, if you and Ali want, take one each, and I won't say a thing."
Aunt Liu sighed: "Oh, as soon as you open your mouth, you give away the two biggest items, clearly, you don't want to give it."
Liu Yui was amused, reached out and pinched Aunt Liu's face, pulling it as she did when she was little.
Aunt Liu deliberately cried out: "Oh, ow, ow, it hurts, Ali's skin is thick, pull his instead."
Liu Yui: "Ah Ting, you've got wrinkles on your face."
Aunt Liu: "..."
Liu Yui: "I'm getting old, and you're not kids anymore."
Aunt Liu: "That's not fair, I work hard to cheer you up, and you stab in the heart, where do I have wrinkles?"
With that, Aunt Liu lightly supported herself with her hands and spun around.
She was indeed very beautiful.
Just at Li Sanjiang's house, she wore a cook's outfit on purpose to downplay herself.
Back in college, Aunt Liu had called out for Li Zhiyuan under the dorm, and on that day, she wore casual clothes, looking more elegant and charming than the female professors at the university.
Liu Yui: "Perhaps seeing that girl from the Yin family too much makes you feel younger, who's now in her pri."
Aunt Liu: "Well, I was unnecessary, knowing that I shouldn't have helped her with beauty care back then."
Outside, Liu Jinxia, who was playing cards, deliberately raised her voice: "You shouldn't have played the six of ten thousand just now, it landed right into my hand, ha!"
Liu Yui knew this was notifying her that the next round had started, so she went out and sat down.
In front of the four elderly won were stacked small change, with the thickest pile in front of Liu Jinxia.
She could count cards, had good card skills, and basically won every ga.
Liu Yui often lost the most, mainly because her attitude while playing cards was similar to Xiao Yuan accompanying Alii to play chess, even more exaggerated sotis. She'd deliberately give away good cards to others to let them win big hands while munching on lon seeds, watching them be thrilled.
The other two elderly won at the card table were regulars.
One was called Granny Hua; her husband passed away early, and her son beca a martyr before getting married, leaving her alone. With governnt support and visits, she didn't need to farm and had no worries about living, just had a peculiar temper, often quarreling with villagers, but had a great voice.
After being called here to play cards, her personality beca gentle imdiately, never blushing with anger, and she often brought the gifts sent to her and shared them with Liu Yui.
The other was surnad Wang, a bit younger, Li Sanjiang called her "Lian Hou." Her son had an accident on a construction site and was bedridden, she persuaded her daughter-in-law to remarry, keeping a pair of grandchildren herself.
In the past, she and her husband fard to maintain the household, cover her son's dical bills, and the grandchildren's school expenses; their days were tightly squeezed, truly the reality of a fallen rural family.
Now, her biggest inco was from the money won while playing cards with Liu Yui; this inco was much more substantial and stable than farming.
No one was a fool. So had poor card skills and lost easily, but rarely did soone keep losing and keep playing.
So, each ti a card ga was scheduled, Wang Lian was the first to arrive, often bringing vegetables ho-grown or seasonal cakes and dumplings, then arranging tables and chairs. At the end of the ga, even if Aunt Liu was nearby, she would insist on cleaning up.
Previously, Liu Jinxia had a bad reputation in the village and needed to provide als to find card buddies, but Liu Yui was obviously more generous and natural.
She didn't know before, only realizing later, that there truly were people in this world like this. When you lower yourself, flatter them, not only did you not feel wronged, but you also felt quite happy and enjoyed it.
Wang Lian: "My husband's nephew sent a ssage saying he wants to adopt one of my kids."
Granny Hua: "Which nephew?"
Wang Lian: "It's my husband's elder brother's son."
Liu Jinxia: "Oh, Ding Family's First Son, weren't your two families not in contact for a long ti?"
Wang Lian's husband lost his parents early, his brother went off with the sailing folks, leaving him with a sister, growing up on the villagers' help.
Later, the brother and sister grew up, and life gradually got on track. Unfortunately, the sister passed away a year after her marriage.
The brothers were miles apart, not completely losing contact, but they didn't communicate much either.
All they knew was that Ding Family's First Son was doing very well, had his own ship, and life was flourishing.
