C199 (1/2)

When I came in with those things, I found that the little old man's side was much better than mine. My place used to be a house that only school leaders could own, but compared to the new building, I looked a lot worse off.

Perhaps because he knew we were coming today, the little old man had already prepared ahead of time, but he still looked a little messy. Cheng Zi was extremely dissatisfied. She was in no hurry to cook. Instead, she helped the old man clean up the house.

The old geezer rarely cooked at home. The things in the kitchen were all new, and apart from the essential oil and salt, there was nothing else.

There's nothing Cheng can do. He can only look at the old man resentfully with one eye, then pull me back to the nearby supermarket to buy some things.

There was basically nothing inside the old man's house. He had to buy three whole bags before he could finally help the old man arrange that kitchen.

Cheng Zi was cooking in the living room, and the little old man was drinking tea with me. When I arrived one day and asked the little old man to offer me tea, I couldn't help but think about the tea I had that day in his office.

I hastily waved my hand and said, ”No, little old man. I'll just drink plain water. I don't need to make tea.”

The old man rolled his eyes at me and snappily said, ”Alright, I have been collecting these tea leaves for many years. Several old death s couldn't bear to give them to me even if they wanted to.”

On the tea table, there was a tea set. Cheng Zi had just washed up. The old man started to boil some water for the tea.

While fiddling with the tea set, the old man said, ”Yang Zi, Cheng Zi is a pretty good girl, you must cherish her well.”

I nodded and said straightforwardly, ”Of course. Cheng is my sister. I will take care of her for the rest of my life.”

The old man narrowed his eyes at me and said, ”Although I'm not that much of a busybody, that doesn't mean I'm stupid. Do you take me for an old man with blurry eyes? I haven't been able to see that after so long, I've lived so many years for nothing.”

I shrugged. ”Old man, I don't know what you're talking about.”

The old man snapped, ”Fine, continue pretending. Let's see how long you can keep up the act. I'll tell you this, if you dare to let Cheng down, I won't let you off!”

”No, little old man, you have nothing to do after you've eaten your fill. You want to interfere in my family right? Cheng is my younger sister. I'm not nice to her, but I'm nice to you!” I asked, waiting for the little old man.

The old man shouted, ”It doesn't matter who you say it is. Cheng is my goddaughter now, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not.”

I immediately opened my eyes and shouted, ”What?” ”Since when was Cheng your goddaughter? How come I didn't know?”

The old man smiled and said, ”Do you know what's wrong with her? If I say she is her, then so be it. You have an objection!”

I snorted, ”Old man, don't think that you can be so arrogant just because it's your birthday. If you make trouble, I'll immediately take Cheng away and leave you here to eat raw meat.”

The old man shouted in dissatisfaction, ”Kid, isn't this too much? It's my birthday after all, and you can't make me happy. How can I let Cheng be my goddaughter?”

I lit a cigarette and leisurely said, ”That's not for sure. Your little old man previously tricked Cheng into going to work for you, making her clean you and bring you food every day. You've struck it rich!”

The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, ”I also paid him, okay?”

I curled my lips and disdainfully said, ”It was the school who gave it to me. Besides, I don't lack the few hundred yuan. Wait a moment, I'll tell Cheng not to go and help you clean up tomorrow. It's better if your office continues to turn into a dog's den.”

Yang Zi, believe me, there are only benefits to letting Cheng become my goddaughter, there's no harm in eating it. That stinky brat in my family doesn't come back for once every year, and when I leave all these things to my goddaughter, are you satisfied? ”

I said in astonishment, ”Old man, you really can bear it. Aren't you afraid that your son will come back and beat you up?”

The old man glared at him and shouted, ”You dare!?” ”If he dares to do that, I'll break his legs, and besides, he's a good abroad hoodlum, so he won't come back for this little money. Don't think that by giving me that money every month, you can send a little old man like me away, and when he comes back, I'll make him homeless!”
