Chapter 586: Past Events

Mo Long and Jiang Yu had already arrived when Elder Mo arrived at Mo Garden.

Mo Long went to the kitchen and said that Jiang Yu had been wronged today and wanted to cook personally.

Although Jiang Yu didn’t believe in his cooking skills, the kitchen had an auntie who specialized in cooking, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

There was an empty space in the backyard of Mo Garden. Previously, there was nothing on it and it was bare.

After Jiang Yu moved here, she felt that it was better to plant something here so that it would look pleasing to the eye.

Hence, she bought the seeds of osmanthus flowers and planted them. After keeping them for a period of time, they bloomed. She had originally planned to bring Mo Long to watch them when they bloomed, but now that Elder Mo had bought a snuff bottle, these osmanthus flowers had other uses.

At that moment, Jiang Yu was watering the osmanthus flowers in the backyard when she heard someone ask, “Did you grow your own osmanthus flowers for the snuff you made?”

Jiang Yu hurriedly stood up and saw Elder Mo standing behind her with a smile.

“Grandpa, why are you here?” Jiang Yu shouted in surprise.

Elder Mo said, “I was so annoyed staying in the Mo family that I wanted to look for you.”

Jiang Yu quickly put the kettle away and planned to help Elder Mo back to the living room to rest.

However, Elder Mo said, “Don’t go back. Stay here and bask in the Sun. Look at the flowers you have.”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “Okay.”

She went to get two chairs and said, “Grandpa, please take a seat.”

After Elder Mo sat down, he looked at the osmanthus flowers and said, “Mo Long’s grandmother also likes osmanthus flowers.”

Jiang Yu had heard Elder Mo mention Mo Long’s grandmother in the Mo family just now. Now that she heard it again, she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Grandpa, what kind of person is grandma?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Mo’s face was filled with happiness as he said, “She is a beautiful and kind person.”

Looking at Jiang Yu’s inquisitive expression, Elder Mo smiled, he told the story of himself and grandma of Mo Long, “When I was young, I was a poor kid who didn’t have a single cent. At that time, the village was poor and no one had enough to eat. I told them that I wanted to go out and earn money. At that time, my family couldn’t wait for me to leave as soon as possible because as long as I left, my family would be able to save a mouthful of food. However, I didn’t blame them for wanting me to leave. I understood them.”

“Then, I traveled day and night. I relied on my own feet to walk all the way to the city. It was there that I met her, which was Mo Long’s grandmother. She was a teacher with a good family background, a high education background, and was also beautiful.”

“At that time, although I had a good impression of her, I didn’t even dare to think about being with her or getting married to her. Moreover, she was taught that she wasn’t allowed to look at me, so I always thought that we would only be like this for the rest of our lives and that we wouldn’t have any more interactions.”

Speaking up to this point, Elder Mo seemed to be immersed in his memories and didn’t continue.

Jiang Yu tactfully didn’t disturb him. Instead, she waited for Elder Mo to finish his memories before continuing.

“But one summer, she came home late from work and was followed by a group of hooligans in an alley. You know the situation back then. Where were the street lamps? But that alley was the only way she could get home. Even if she was afraid, she had to go

“There were a group of hooligans following behind her. Wasn’t she even more afraid? Just as the group of hooligans were about to attack her, I appeared like a hero. I saved her and even got injured. I was only able to recover after lying in the hospital for a few months. During this period of time, she took care of me in the hospital. She gradually fell in love with me and we got together.”

Jiang Yu asked curiously, “Grandpa, didn’t grandma’s family feel that the two of you weren’t from the same family? Would they stop you?”
