Chapter 1163: Battle God Realm (Part 1)
“I didn’t think of keeping a low profile this time,” said Zhang Ronghua.
Yang Hongling smiled. Yan Bei’s talent was worth her lover’s investment.
After a while.
The few of them stopped at a corner in the north of the city and looked at the small courtyard in front of them. It was dilapidated and old. The walls were covered with moss, and two corners of the courtyard door were broken. The couplets pasted on both sides had not been changed for a long time. After experiencing the wind and rain, the color had turned white, and less than a quarter of them were left.
It was a familiar scene. Nothing had changed.
Yan Bei could not hold it in any longer. His heart softened and touched the deepest part of his heart. His eyes were red as he rushed up, pushed open the courtyard door, and rushed in.
She had not seen her grandmother for three years. Even though she had written home letters every year to tell her that she was safe, she was illiterate and could not reply. She found help from her neighbors, but she felt that it was a waste of their time. She spent money to hire someone to write for her. Even if she sent more than half of her salary back, with her grandmother’s thrifty personality, she naturally could not bear to do so.
“Grandma!”
He shouted with all his might.
In the kitchen.
Grandma Yan was cooking. After Yan Bei joined the army, the family’s fields could no longer be occupied. They could only rent them to others. Every year, they would pay the rent. In addition to the salary he sent back, the money they saved increased. Their conditions improved, and they could not bear to buy good rice or specially buy old grain. They saved the money for him to use when he got married.
A handful of old rice and a steamed bun were placed in the pot. He sat on the small stool and added some firewood from time to time.
Hearing the familiar voice from outside, he was petrified.
In the next second.
Yan Bei rushed in and looked at the familiar face in front of him. It was carved into his bones. Wasn’t this the grandson he had been looking forward to every night? Unable to hold it in any longer, tears of excitement rolled down her face. She hurriedly stood up and rushed towards him.
Hugging together!
Both of them cried and only let go after a while.
Grandma Yan wiped the tears off her grandson’s face and scolded him.” You’re a soldier now. You represent the imperial court. You’re not allowed to cry!”
“Yes.” Yan Bei nodded heavily.
They didn’t go out immediately and just talked to each other here.
In the courtyard.
Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling were sitting on the yellowed bamboo chairs while Little Four was resting on the ground.
He looked at the simple furnishings in the courtyard. The ground was covered in mud. It had rained some time ago, leaving some footprints. Other than tables and chairs, there was nothing else.
“It’s been hard on Grandma Yan,” said Yang Hongling.
“It’s really not easy!” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
“I have a bad feeling.”
“Huang Shanshan?”
“Yes.” Yang Hongling responded.
” The Huang family is the richest family in Anyuan County. Even if they don’t have anyone backing them up, they still know some big shots in the county. Father Huang’s methods back then were very sophisticated. A soft knife was far more ruthless than a hard knife. He stabbed Yan Bei’s heart silently. With his stubborn personality, he would never come back until he achieved something! With Father Huang’s methods, it would be easy for him to persuade his daughter to marry a rich and powerful young master. He could combine government and business to protect the family business and expand it.”
With Zhang Ronghua’s intelligence, how could he not have thought of this?
However, he did not say it out loud, leaving Yan Bei with some fantasies.
The love between childhood sweethearts was indeed enviable, but reality was far from as sweet as described in the book. It was often cruel.
Yan Bei helped Grandma out of the room. The two of them stood up. Grandma Yan pretended to kneel and bow. Zhang Ronghua reached out to support her and did not let her kneel. He smiled and said,” Let’s not do this.”
Grandma Yan was very enthusiastic. She had been thrifty and generous.” Xiao Bei, the money is still under Grandma’s bed. Take more and go to Fortune Gathering Restaurant to buy a table of good wine and food.”
Fortune Gathering Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the city, and its grade was also the highest.
“Yes.” Yan Bei agreed and turned around to enter the house.
“No need!” Zhang Ronghua stopped him. Let Hongling cook later.”
“Grandma Yan, you don’t have to be so busy. Try my cooking today,” said Yang Hongling with a smile.
Grandma Yan was insistent, but they were even more insistent. They could only compromise and follow her into the kitchen to help.
Yang Hongling was intelligent, and she could see very clearly that she did not take the True Spiritual Flesh, Spiritual Fish, and so on. It was not that she was reluctant, but that her old body could not digest it, and it would instead leave behind a disaster.
Although the ingredients used were ordinary, they were also precious.
When the dishes were served, there were a total of twelve dishes and two sets of desserts, filling the small table. Little Four brought a basin and filled it with some food to eat.
He didn’t drink.
Although Zhang Ronghua refused, Grandma Yan insisted that he and Yang Hongling sit at the main seat, so he had to agree.
He had endured it until now.
“Grandma, how’s Shanshan?” Yan Bei couldn’t hold it in anymore.
He looked at his grandson with anticipation and passion in his eyes.
Grandma Yan’s heart sank. After three years, she thought that he would be able to forget. She did not expect to see the opposite. She saw deep love in his eyes.
She gritted her teeth, not knowing how to speak.
Zhang Ronghua and Yang Hongling looked at each other. Just as they had guessed, time changed everything.
Yan Bei had a bad premonition. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile.” No matter what the outcome is, I can bear it!”
“Sigh!” Grandma Yan sighed.
He told the whole story.
Three years ago.
Yan Bei had just joined the army, and Huang Shanshan had visited him a few times with gifts. In the end, they only saw each other once a month. Half a year later, news came out from the Huang family that she had married Cheng Li, the youngest son of County Magistrate Cheng. One of them was the father and mother of Anyuan County, and he held the power of life and death. The other was the richest man in the area. On the day of the wedding, it was a grand occasion. All the important people in the county, including those from the neighboring county and the county government, had arrived and walked around the city.
