Chapter 950 - 948 Nagging
Yang Zongbao’s eyes reddened instantly, suddenly reminded of the past. Whenever he came home from outside, it was always his mother who would make him a big bowl of noodles, topped with meat and two eggs nestled beneath. She would smile at him and say, "Dumplings when boarding the carriage, noodles when getting off. Eat more!"
Blinking his eyes, Yang Zongbao buried his head and picked up a chopstick full of noodles. With a taste, a feeling that was both familiar and strange filled him—it was the taste of home.
Perhaps he was truly starving. Accompanied by the fragrant and spicy mountain mushroom meat sauce, Yang Zongbao ate two big bowls of noodles, even drinking all the soup dry, before putting down his chopsticks.
Full and satisfied, Yang Zongbao signaled for Old Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu to follow him into the room.
Once inside, Old Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu discovered that the ten or so boxes that had been neatly placed were now opened in an orderly fashion, with the smaller ones on the bed and the larger ones on the floor.
The boxes contained gold and silver jewelry, silk, and various foods, making their eyes widen in amazement.
From inside, Yang Zongbao picked out two boxes containing headwear jewelry and handed them to Old Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu, one for each.
Old Granny Zhang didn’t dare take them. Seeing the gold glinting, she knew they were worth a lot.
To be honest, regarding this not-by-blood younger brother Yang Zongbao, Old Granny Zhang never intended to take advantage. When she recognized him back then, Yang Zongbao was so destitute, yet she didn’t mind.
For Yang Zongbao to suddenly bestow such extravagant gifts, Old Granny Zhang’s first reaction was: "Oh, brother, where did you get all these things? You didn’t do anything you shouldn’t have, right? Between our brother-sister relationship, though we aren’t blood-related, I’ve always treated you like a real brother. In a family, we don’t need to be so formal. This is your home. Why buy these things?"
"Did you spend a lot on these? Your sister, niece, and nephew-in-law don’t expect you to provide anything. Why waste money like this?"
"Hurry and see if you can return these things. Even if you have some money, you shouldn’t waste it like this. You’re not getting any younger. It would be better to save this silver for getting married and starting a family in the future."
