Chapter 974 - 972 Whose Child Is It?
Wang Yongzhu, with a sudden thought, placed the Buddha Beads on Old Granny Zhang: "Mother, these are Buddha Beads personally blessed by the Abbot of Huguo Temple in the Capital, able to ward off evil and cleanse impurities. Moreover, the fragrance of agarwood is beneficial to health. You should wear them, keeping them close at all times—"
Upon hearing these were blessed by the Abbot of Huguo Temple and beneficial to health, Old Granny Zhang initially refused to accept them, thinking to herself that at her age, such treasures would be wasted on her?
Usually, she would save good things for her own daughter.
After some back-and-forth between mother and daughter, it was Old Granny Zhang who reluctantly gave in to Wang Yongzhu, ending up caressing the Buddha Beads on her wrist and chanting Buddha’s name multiple times.
As she fiddled with the Buddha Beads, Old Granny Zhang brought up the main topic: "Earlier today, while I was chatting with your master’s wife in the backyard, I couldn’t help but feel that she was subtly inquiring about our Chongjin’s affairs. I didn’t understand what your master’s wife meant, so I casually mentioned a few difficulties and hardships Chongjin endured under Song Chunhua. Your master’s wife seemed heartbroken, even shedding tears; anyone would think she was Chongjin’s mother."
Wang Yongzhu...
She probably realized that Lady Qi has some old connection to the Qi Family.
As mother and daughter chatted, Song Chongjin returned home.
Upon seeing Song Chongjin’s usual expression, Wang Yongzhu felt slightly relieved.
Entering the room, Song Chongjin noticed the collapsed corner of the heated kang bed, startled at first, but relaxed after hearing Wang Yongzhu broke it herself: "Be careful of your hand, is it hurt or scratched? What’s wrong with the kang? Tomorrow, I’ll have someone come and rebuild it."
Outside, Old Granny Wu and Old Madam Ding exchanged glances, unable to resist clicking their tongues.
Who would believe it if told? The Scholar Master, serious and stern-faced outside, is like this at home.
