Chapter 2941 Having gained Long, one desires Shu!

Grandpa Guan was very satisfied with Wang Yue, and the neighbors in the alley were quite envious.

Take, for example, the ragpicker Hou!
As a shareholder and collector, Hou knew that Grandpa Guan had a lot of antiques. Since they were about the same age, Hou was very envious of Grandpa Guan's condition.

So, seeing that Wang Yue, such a busy man, still had to take time out of his week to accompany the old man to listen to opera, the ragpicker Hou said to Han Chunming beside him,
"Han Chunming, look at Wang Yue. Yes, Lao Guan treats him better than his own son."

But what about you? How many treasures have I given you? And you haven't even offered to build me a theater.

Upon hearing this, Han Chunming immediately said with dissatisfaction, "You lousy monkey, you should speak with a conscience. I have helped Sister Hou a lot over the years. Otherwise, would you and your daughter have such a good relationship?"

But what about you? You actually tried to take that dragon and phoenix bed from the landlord's house from me! Tell me, how can you be so shameless?

After Han Chunming started his own vegetable transportation business, he helped Hou Su'e open a small vegetable shop. Fresh vegetables were supplied every day, and the business was very good. Now he is a household with tens of thousands of yuan.

Now that she had money, and knowing that Han Chunming was helping her out of respect for the "ragpicker" Hou, Hou Su'e respected him even more, finally restoring normalcy to the relationship between father and daughter that had been strained for many years.

As for the dragon and phoenix bed, it was passed down from an old landlord's family in the nearby countryside.

Back then, beds were all made of wood, but nowadays, the wood used in the beds of landlords near Beijing is extremely rare.

Han Chunming and the ragpicker both knew that this thing would be priceless in the future, so they had been trying to persuade the landlord for many days.

After listening to Han Chunming's complaints, the ragpicker Hou said helplessly,

"Look at you, you have no respect for the elderly or care for the young. I'm so old, how many days can I lie down after I buy this? You'll still have your chance then, won't you?"

Han Chunming, however, was not buying it at all. He said irritably, "Don't you know what kind of person you are, you lousy monkey? You sleep in your shabby little house every day just to pretend you're poor. Would you really be willing to sleep in such a nice bed?"
You bought this thing, and you've probably just left it there to collect dust. You're like a Pixiu, only taking in and never giving out.

Seeing that he couldn't fool Han Chunming, the ragpicker Hou felt he needed to shift his focus, so he turned to Grandpa Guan and said...

“Old Guan, Han Chunming is your apprentice after all. He saw that Wang Yue built a theater for you and didn’t say anything. Do you have any objections?”

Grandpa Guan was listening to the opera so attentively when he suddenly heard Old Guan say something. He immediately seized the opportunity to say, "How could I not have an opinion? What do you think my granddaughter is thinking? Xiao Yue knows it perfectly well, but he just won't give me a straight answer, making me feel uneasy while watching the opera."

Wang Yue was somewhat amused and exasperated. He didn't know if Grandpa Guan had genuinely misheard or was deliberately using this opportunity to subtly remind him.

However, Wang Yue also felt that he was getting on in years and had already been pressured to get married several times over, so he simply took this opportunity to bring it up.

"Grandpa, back when Uncle Guan and Aunt Guan went abroad together, only Xiao Guan was willing to stay and keep you company. If I marry Xiao Guan, won't you be all alone?"

When Grandpa Guan heard Wang Yue use this as an excuse, he slapped Wang Yue's shoulder with his palm-leaf fan and said irritably,
"Don't think I don't know. My granddaughter stayed because of you. Otherwise, she would have gone abroad with her heartless parents long ago."

As luck would have it, Guan Xiaoguan and Wang Xia walked over at that very moment.

Wang Xia had already decided that Guan Xiaoguan was her sister-in-law, so she deliberately nudged Guan Xiaoguan, urging her to quickly express her opinion.

As the younger sister, she knew her older brother very well. If Guan Xiaoguan hadn't brought it up herself, the two of them probably would never have taken things any further.

Guan Xiaoguan had asked Wang Xia this question more than once, and Wang Xia's advice was for her to be more proactive.

Wang Xia truly felt wronged at the time. She clung to Wang Yue and Wang Xia every day and didn't associate with other men. Even a fool could see through her little scheme.

But Wang Yue remained unmoved, like a block of wood. Although he took good care of her, he never brought it up.

So, Guan Xiaoguan said with some annoyance, "I'm practically living at your house, how can you expect me to take the initiative?"

Wang Xia replied matter-of-factly, "Whether you're moving into my house soon because of me or because of my brother is very ambiguous, so I think you should take the initiative to suggest it. Maybe the two of you will end up together."

Although Guan Xiaoguan felt somewhat ashamed to confess her feelings, she was still struggling with when to take action because it concerned her own happiness.
After all, it really takes courage to get a girl to take the initiative!

Guan Xiaoguan has been struggling with this for the past few days, but today she overheard Wang Yue and Grandpa Guan chatting. Guan Xiaoguan felt that Wang Xia was right and that she had to make her point clear.

So, when she heard her grandfather say that, she immediately went along with it and said...

"Grandpa, how could you say that to me?"

Both the official and Wang Yue felt it was somewhat inappropriate for someone to talk about a girl behind her back and have the girl overhear them.

However, Guan Xiaoguan's second half of his sentence made Wang Yue and Grandpa Guan burst out laughing.

Before Grandpa Guan could finish speaking, Guan Xiaoguan said smugly, "Grandpa, just tell me, besides Wang Yue, where else can you find such a good grandson-in-law?" Grandpa Guan didn't expect his granddaughter to be so bold, but he felt that this was the kind of granddaughter he wanted. If she liked him, she should just say so directly. It was too boring to drag things out like this.

So, Grandpa Guan nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's true. It seems your taste is just as good as mine; it's a family trait."

He then felt he had to stand up for his granddaughter, and immediately looked at Wang Yue and asked,
"Xiao Yue, my granddaughter has made everything clear. What about you? You must make things clear to me today, otherwise I will not come to this theater again."

Wang Yue was both amused and exasperated. No wonder people say that old people are like children; it turns out that they really do have a childlike personality when they get old.

With Grandpa Guan's love for opera, where else can he find such a fun place to go besides Xiyuanzi?
However, Wang Yue was already under pressure from his parents to get married, so finding Xiao Guan seemed pretty good. Although he didn't particularly like her, at least he could appease his parents.

So Wang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have my parents come over later to discuss the wedding date with you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Guan immediately burst into hearty laughter. After laughing, he called out to the audience in the theater,
"I'll treat you to tea today! Everyone, drink to your heart's content!"

Although Han Chunming knew that Grandpa Guan was happy, he still couldn't help but joke,
"Uncle Guan, you're not drinking alcohol, what's so great about tea? If you drink too much, you'll just end up in the toilet."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Guan said irritably, "If you hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten about you. You are, after all, someone I taught. My granddaughter is getting married, so you should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Han Chunming said matter-of-factly, "Grandpa, you can rest assured. Isn't your granddaughter my niece? I will definitely give a generous gift when she gets married."

Grandpa Guan was fooled, and he nodded with satisfaction, saying, "That's more like it!"

Guan Xiaoguan knew Han Chunming quite well. Seeing his sly grin, she immediately said, somewhat annoyed...
"Han Chunming, let's keep to ourselves. It's fine if you call me Grandpa's master, but don't even think about taking advantage of me and Brother Yue."

"Brother Yue~!"

Han Chunming deliberately shouted in a high-pitched voice, then rubbed his shoulders with both hands, looking as if he was annoyed.

Guan Xiaoguan saw Han Chunming deliberately mimicking her speech, which she wasn't familiar with, and immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Han Chunming, how dare you laugh at me?"

Han Chunming saw that Guan Xiaoguan was about to get angry, but he wanted to tease her a little, so he said something that was sure to get him killed.

"Where did I laugh at you? Wasn't that what you just shouted? It was so cheesy!"

Seeing that Han Chunming was so tactless, Guan Xiaoguan immediately delivered a sharp retort.

"The reason you find it cheesy is mainly because you're not used to hearing it. By the way, didn't Sister Xiaoli tell you that before?"

Guan Xiaoguan did it on purpose!

Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli have been arguing frequently lately, and Cai Xiaoli has also complained to Guan Xiaoguan and Wang Xia a lot.

Cai Xiaoli knew very well that Han Chunming could never forget Su Meng!
Humans, generally speaking, are rather greedy and always want more than they have.

Before Cai Xiaoli started dating Han Chunming, she didn't pay much attention to the fact that Han Chunming liked Su Meng.

However, after the two talked for a long time, Han Chunming's heart still hadn't warmed up, and Cai Xiaoli was naturally unwilling to give up.

In addition, Cai Xiaoli felt that she was old enough to get married, but Han Chunming always used his busy career as an excuse to avoid it, which made Cai Xiaoli feel very uncomfortable.

Han Chunming is usually busy collecting antiques or running his company, so he doesn't have time to go to the theater to watch a play.
I came here today to find some peace and quiet, and also to chat with the two elderly people.

Han Chunming never expected that his attempt to tease Guan Xiaoguan would backfire so spectacularly.

Han Chunming, of course, couldn't argue with a girl, so he turned to Wang Yue and said,

"Brother Wang, aren't you going to do anything about this? Xiao Guan's words are really hurtful."

Wang Yue patted Han Chunming on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Chunming, if you put half of the heart you have for Su Meng into Cai Xiaoli, you would definitely be able to enjoy this kind of coquettishness."

It's a pity you don't know how to cherish it! I just hope you won't regret it when you lose it later.

Han Chunming knew, of course, that Cai Xiaoli was a good person, but he didn't know if he was bewitched, because he would get confused whenever it came to Su Meng!

Seeing Wang Yue's hints, he suddenly realized a problem.
Cai Xiaoli is older than Guan Xiaoguan. If he continues to push her away, Cai Xiaoli might really go with someone else.
