Chapter 130 The Visitor is a Guest
Ma Junjie was taken aback.
He took a few steps forward, then quickly turned his head back.
"Who? Who is it?"
Take a closer look,
It turned out to be Grandma Wang from before. She grinned, revealing her missing teeth, and looked at Ma Junjie.
"Hehe, young man, did I scare you?"
"Ha, perfect, we're even now. Who told you to scare me in there!"
Ma Junjie suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Well... okay, Grandma, hello!"
Gian, watching from the side, burst into laughter.
"Brother Jie, you actually got scared by Grandma Wang!"
"Haha, Grandma Wang, you're so funny!"
Grandma Wang glanced at Fatty Tiger again.
"Alright, alright, weren't you looking for someone in that alley?"
"Why did you rush out in such a hurry?"
Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger immediately said,
"Grandma Wang, why didn't you tell us there was a madman in the alley!"
"A man hit us with a bottle, and then chased us with a machete. Luckily, we ran fast!"
Grandma Wang was used to it.
He wasn't in a hurry to answer.
Instead, he asked,
"Gian, what's your friend's name?"
"He's imposing, has a great figure, and is much better looking than you!"
"Uh..." Fat Tiger gave a wry smile and replied.
"Grandma, his name is Ma Junjie, you can just call him A-Jie. He's in my workshop group..."
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie quickly interrupted Pang Hu.
"Grandma, nice to meet you! This milk is for you!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang didn't even look at Fatty Tiger, but quickly glanced at the milk in Ma Junjie's hand.
He laughed.
"Ah Jie, did you buy this from my store?"
"Your home?" Ma Junjie asked, puzzled.
Fat Tiger laughed and explained,
"Brother Jie, I forgot to tell you, Grandma Wang lives in this shop. She owns it!"
"Then...the previous boss?"
Grandma Wang replied.
"That's my daughter!"
Ma Junjie finally realized what was going on.
Grandma Wang walked up with a smile and took the milk from Ma Junjie's hand.
I wiped off the dust.
It was put back in the sales area.
Then she tugged at Ma Junjie's hand.
Said,
"Guests are welcome, please come in and have a meal with us!"
Ma Junjie felt a little embarrassed to bother his grandmother.
Said,
"Grandma, forget it, let's go back..."
Fat Tiger, however, didn't care at all and advised,
"Brother Jie, it's okay. It's just Grandma and her daughter at her house."
"They are all very nice people. I used to live here and would occasionally eat at their house."
Grandma Wang held onto Ma Junjie's hand tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
I led him into a living room/dining room at the back of the store.
Just then, Grandma Wang's daughter finished cooking the last dish of vegetables.
It was served.
Seeing that Grandma Wang had brought in two people, he greeted them politely.
"Sit down, sit wherever you like!"
"Oh, you two just bought something from me, didn't you?"
Fat Tiger chuckled.
"Sister Guihua, yes!"
"He's my brother Jie, that's why I brought him to buy milk!"
Guihua laughed, looked at Ma Junjie, and stared intently at him.
Now that they were at the table, Ma Junjie decided not to refuse any longer.
He expressed his gratitude and then sat down.
At this moment, Sister Guihua happily went out and brought back two bottles of beer from the store.
Without asking, I just took the bottle opener and opened it.
With a "click," the bottle cap fell to the ground.
Sister Guihua handed the bubbly beer to Ma Junjie.
He laughed.
"Ah Jie, here you go!"
Ma Junjie let out an "Ah," somewhat surprised.
As soon as Guihua saw it, she shoved the beer bottle into Ma Junjie's hand.
Grandma Wang glanced at it, then suddenly smiled and said,
"Osmanthus, not bad, you're even using snowflakes!"
Fat Tiger chuckled and said,
"Sister Guihua, I...I want to drink it too!"
Sister Guihua glanced at Fatty Tiger.
He handed over a bottle of Zhujiang beer that was at his feet.
"Here, drink this yourself!"
Fat Tiger's mouth twisted into a crooked shape.
"Sister Guihua, why is Brother Jie called Snowflake, while I'm called Pearl River?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Guihua glared at Fatty Tiger and snatched the beer away.
"Fatty, if you don't want it, give it back!"
Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger immediately begged for mercy, grinning as he said...
"I'll drink it, I'll drink it!"
"Sister Guihua, give it to me!"
At this moment, Grandma Wang urged,
"Alright, everyone, let's eat!"
"Ah Jie, Little Fatty, these are just some simple home-style dishes, please don't mind them!"
Ma Junjie took a sip of his drink and glanced at the table.
On top of it was a plate of lush green vegetables, a plate of stir-fried green peppers and eggs, and a plate of stewed pork ribs with corn.
Ma Junjie said,
"Grandma Wang, the dishes are so plentiful, thank you so much!"
Upon hearing this, Sister Guihua suddenly stood up, turned her back, and walked away.
A little while later, she came back and placed a bowl on the table.
Said,
"Ah Jie, this is kimchi I made myself. It's very refreshing with drinks and rice!"
Ma Junjie looked into the bowl; there were carrots, green peppers, and yellow green beans.
The colors are vibrant and it looks great.
Ma Junjie picked up a piece of radish, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and found it to be crisp, sour, and delicious.
He praised,
"Sister Guihua, your kimchi is absolutely amazing!"
"Hahaha!" Sister Guihua laughed heartily.
Fat Tiger watched from the side, utterly astonished.
He had lived in this village for three or four years and often bought things from Grandma Wang's shop.
He had quite a few opportunities to interact with Sister Guihua.
However, every time I saw Sister Guihua, she always had a poker face, as if everyone owed her money.
But today,
He seemed to have discovered a new world.
So it turns out that Sister Guihua can smile too!
He simply couldn't understand it, and looking depressed and melancholy, he just silently drank.
At this moment, Grandma Wang said,
"Ah Jie, Little Fatty, don't go into that alley after you've eaten!"
"It's dangerous in there!"
Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger immediately recalled what had happened not long ago.
He said excitedly,
"Grandma, now that you mention it, I just remembered something. Damn it, we almost got hacked to death by that drunkard!"
"By the way, Grandma, who exactly is that man?"
Grandma Wang's face was somber.
He glanced at Gian.
"Who is it? Isn't that the person you're looking for!"
"Huh?" Ma Junjie was taken aback.
"Grandma, could you please explain that more clearly?"
Grandma Wang said,
"What, Ah Jie, weren't you looking for Hu Ling'er?"
"That man is Hu Ling'er's father!"
"Huh?" This time, it was both Fat Tiger and Ma Junjie who were taken aback.
Fat Tiger said in disbelief,
"That...that person, is that her father?"
"A drunkard?"
"Tsk tsk, sigh, one can only imagine the miserable life his daughter will lead!"
Ma Junjie listened with a grave expression, his heart sinking as well.
He asked,
"Grandma, who else is in Hu Ling'er's family?"
At this moment, Sister Guihua interjected,
"And there's an old woman, the drunkard's mother!"
"That old woman, almost eighty years old, is still out there collecting scraps and growing vegetables to sell!"
"That family hasn't fallen apart yet, all thanks to that old woman!"
Fat Tiger asked incredulously,
"And...what about the girl's mother?"
"Dead!" Sister Guihua sighed and answered.
"I heard he was beaten to death, beaten to death by that drunkard!"
"Damn it, you beast!" Fat Tiger cursed.
Then, turning his head to look, he saw that Ma Junjie had suddenly stood up and was walking towards the door.
Gian shouted,
"Brother Jie, what are you doing? Where are you going?"
