Chapter 204
204 Old Madam Jin’s Courage
“You want a severance?” Old Master Wei exclaimed.
“That’s right! I want a severance! The Jin family has already declined. As an old woman, I don’t have to die with the Jin family, so I might as well get a severance! I will be free and have another way out!” Old Madam Jin said.
Old Master Wei’s expression was hesitant as he was thinking about this.
“Since you’ve already made up your mind, I will naturally support you! It’s just that you have to think about it carefully!” Old Master Wei said after a while.
“Fourth Brother Wei, I’ve already thought it through! Previously, I asked someone to build a house by the pipeline in Hele Village. After the new year, I’ll move over to live a peaceful life. If you don’t mind, move over with me!” Old Madam Jin thought of something and said with a smile.
Old Master Wei didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he said that he would consider it.
“Alright, tell me when you’ve thought it through! Please help me hand this divorce letter to the Jin family! After all, there’s no one left in my family now. Only you, Fourth Brother Wei, are left!” Old Madam Jin said.
Old Master Wei nodded and promised, “Don’t worry about this! I will definitely help you settle it. Think about it carefully. In the future, only the two of us will be left! At this moment, you need help, so I naturally have to help you! However, once this is done, there’s no turning back. You can’t even live in this house anymore!”
Old Madam Jin nodded and said, “I’ve already sent someone to rent a small house in town. We’ll live there for a few months. When the house in Hele Village is built, we can move in!”
“Alright, since you’ve thought it through, I’ll go and do it for you!” Old Master Wei said and thought of something. “When do you plan to move out?”
“Let’s move out tomorrow! It’s too late today!” Old Madam Jin thought for a moment and said, “I’ll only bring some clothes and the servants I brought with me after I married over in the past. I won’t take a single st.i.tch of the Jin family’s things!”
When Old Master Wei heard Old Madam Jin’s words, he knew that she was determined to leave the Jin family.
Old Madam Jin was a decisive person.
Early the next morning, while her two sons were still sleeping, Old Madam Jin left the Jin family with her things and the servants.
Old Madam Jin’s dowry had been sent to a house under her name a long time ago.
There wasn’thing of hers at the Jin family’s old residence.
Other than some clothes, there were only three servants.
Mrs. Su, Haitang, and Qiu Tang.
A carriage brought Old Madam Jin to the house they had just rented.
On Li Xiaoran’s side, she received an invitation when she woke up in the morning.
The invitation only had one line.
“I’m waiting for you at home! This time, it’s our home!”
Seeing this line of words, Li Xiaoran was instantly moved.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he called back the people he had left near the Jin family’s old residence to ask what had happened in the Jin family after they left.
After knowing that Old Madam Jin had brought people out early in the morning and gone to a house not far away, Luo Cheng thought of something.
After looking at Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng walked over.
“Do you want to go over and see her?”
Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was referring to Old Madam Jin, so she nodded.
“It’s still early. Why don’t we buy some breakfast and go find Old Madam Jin together? We can have breakfast with her!”
Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng’s idea was very good and nodded. Then, the couple went out together.
After buying some steamed buns, porridge, soy milk, and pastries, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran each carried a food box and went to Old Madam Jin’s place.
Old Madam Jin had just woken up after sleeping for a while and was feeling hungry when she heard the servant report that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng had arrived.
She quickly asked the servants to invite Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng over. Old Madam Jin also got up and washed up.
When she saw Li Xiaoran again, Old Madam Jin’s face was filled with a happy smile.
“Girl, if you’re here now, it means you’re not angry with me anymore, right?”
Seeing how happy Old Madam Jin was, Li Xiaoran nodded.
“Actually, I was never angry with you!” Li Xiaoran explained again.
“I know! It’s just that I still feel guilty towards you! It’s because I didn’t raise my sons well that they became like this!” Old Madam Jin said.
Li Xiaoran didn’t know how to answer. After all, this was Old Madam Jin’s own matter, so she could only listen quietly.
Old Madam Jin knew that it wasn’t suitable for her to say these words. After some thought, she looked at Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su nodded and quickly brought out a box.
“I know you’ve been wronged. This is my compensation!” Old Madam Jin said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran widened her eyes and looked at Old Madam Jin. She didn’t expect this at all.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Xiaoran said, “Old Madam Jin, you don’t have to compensate me. I can understand. It’s not your fault. Why don’t we eat breakfast first?! My husband and I bought a lot of delicious food today, so we wanted to come over and eat breakfast with you!”
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought for a moment and gestured for Mrs. Su to put the things in front of Li Xiaoran.
“If you don’t accept this, it means you won’t forgive me. I won’t be in the mood to eat!” Madam Jin said shamelessly.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh.
“Grandmother Jin, you can’t do this!”
“Why can’t I be like this? Old people are like children! I’ll be angry if you don’t accept the gift!” Old Madam Jin said.
Li Xiaoran really had no choice but to quickly coax Old Madam Jin. “I’ll accept anything you give me, even if it’s a stone!”
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately laughed happily.
Li Xiaoran took the wooden box and took out the things in the food box.
“Now, you can have breakfast, right?”
“Yes! I’m hungry!” Old Madam Jin said happily, “Show me what you brought me. Do you have stinky tofu?”
At the mention of stinky tofu, Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows.
Recalling how he had helped Li Xiaoran dig for winter bamboo shoots, Luo Cheng smiled.
“Old Madam Jin, you’re still recuperating. You can’t eat stinky tofu for the time being! When you recover, I’ll accompany you to eat stinky tofu, okay?” Li Xiaoran coaxed patiently.
“Alright! You said it yourself. When I recover, you have to accompany me to eat stinky tofu!” Old Madam Jin thought for a moment and said reluctantly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do what I promised!” Li Xiaoran promised.
