Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 326: Grandmother Ji: Be My Grand Daughter-In-Law (2)

She asked the two kids with a smile, “Yue Yue, Hui Hui, who is this girl? Your relative?”

Little Seven, Gu Jinyue immediately raised his head and stuck his chest out. “My elder cousin. She’s good-looking, isn’t she!”

The granny laughed. “Yes, yes. Very good-looking. The children of the Gu family are all good-looking!”

Little Seven was delighted. “My elder cousin is the best-looking.”

The two kids played around the area while the grandma seemed to be even more interested in Gu Qingyao as she approached her with a smile. “Young lady, how old are you this year?”

Gu Qingyao smiled warmly. “Sixteen!”

“Ah. You’re in your youth! I was so mischievous when I was at your age! An obedient-looking girl like you is still better.”

Gu Qingyao smiled in reply.

The old grandma continued asking, “What do you usually do at home? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

Gu Qingyao replied, “This is my third uncle’s house. I have always lived in my hometown and I only came here when I was young if I recall correctly. Usually, Third Uncle’s family would return to the hometown to visit us as my grandparents are there!”

“I see! No wonder I’ve not seen you before. Looking at you, your family must treat you very well right! Your hands are dainty and smooth so you must have not done any heavy manual labor.”

Looking at the grandma’s eyes, Gu Qingyao realized that the grandma was only making casual comments and did not mean to despise her for being finicky or not working. Thus, she smiled and said, “All the grandchildren are males and I’m the only granddaughter of the family. My five elder cousins dote on me a lot and my father dotes on me even more. I was young too and he could not bear for me to work in the field. Perhaps he could not care for my little strength!

“I do lesser work in the field and mostly do housework. Grandmother is old already and needs someone to take care of her.”

The grandma broke into a smile immediately. She liked a family that doted on daughters!

“With so many boys at home, of course the girl must be doted on. I also have a granddaughter who is slightly older than you. She has four older brothers and similarly, the whole family dotes on her. She is very playful now and it seems like she is spoiled. It’d be good if she was as obedient as you!”

Gu Qingyao looked at the elderly lady who complained that her granddaughter was spoiled but her eyes were full of love. Evidently, she still doted on her granddaughter greatly.

When she came to her third uncle’s house in the previous lifetime, it was not at this timing and she never saw this elderly lady before, thus she really did not know who she was.

The elderly lady talked a lot and seemed to like Gu Qingyao a lot. Apart from talking to her about various things, the elderly lady even reminded her about the surrounding neighbors’ background.

This elderly lady knew everything: who held high posts and should not be offended, whose daughter-in-law was domineering, which family always took advantage of others, who appeared warm and friendly but had a vicious tongue.

When it was about time, Gu Qingyao had to return home to cook.

The elderly lady greeted her rather reluctantly, “Come out and play again tomorrow! When I have nothing to do, I like to come out and watch these kids play. Ah… I’m so pitiful! The children at home don’t like me and are unwilling to chat with me. I’m about to die from loneliness. Yao Yao, you’re still the best. Come and chat with me frequently in the future, all right?”

Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched. Grandma, your acting skills are too lousy! You don’t look pitiful at all!

However, this grandma was very adorable so Gu Qingyao agreed with a smile.

After chatting for a long time, Gu Qingyao learned about the elderly woman’s situation: she was from the Ji family, and her husband was a doctor while her three sons had pretty good jobs.
