Sheng Hao was a very cautious person. He told Cui that his third brother and his family would come back, but he was not sure about the exact time. Cui saw that Sheng Xuan and his family showed no signs of coming back, so she asked Sheng Hao several times, but Sheng Hao always gave the same answer. In addition, Sheng Xuan had been away from home for too long this time, so the old lady became more and more panicked.

One time, Cui called Sheng Hao over, and she cried and scolded Sheng Xuan in front of Sheng Hao, saying that Sheng Xuan had no conscience and wanted to abandon her in the village. During that time, Cui also stopped humiliating Sheng Nuo, and her energy and spirit were not as strong as before, and she looked several years older.

After that, Sheng Xuan arranged for someone to renovate the house in Shengjiatunzi. Sheng Xuan came back to see the progress. That time, the old lady called Sheng Xuan over and cried and scolded him, asking him why he came back now. Sheng Xuan knew that the old lady was worried that he would stay in the capital and would not come back to Shengjiatunzi. When Sheng Xuan told Cui that Shengjiatunzi was his home, no matter where he went, he would come back. But the old lady was not at ease with his words, saying that Xiaowen was now successful, and Sheng Xuan would definitely follow Xiaowen in the future. If Xiaowen became an official, he would definitely not stay in Shengjiatunzi. Sheng Xuan would definitely follow Xiaowen in the future. Sheng Xuan had to tell Cui that this was also Xiaowen's home and Xiaowen's roots. No matter where Xiaowen went in the future, his roots were here, and he and Zhang would not follow Xiaowen.

Finally, Sheng Xuan was so pestered by Cui that he could only say helplessly, "Mom, look, I have renovated the house. If I don't come back to live here, why should I renovate the house?" Sheng Xuan's words, coupled with the fact that he was actually renovating the house, finally put the old lady at ease.

Then, Cui resumed her usual routine and diet, and became energetic again. Of course, she even brought up the matter of scolding Sheng Nuo again.

Sheng Xuan told Zhang about this when he returned to the capital. At that time, Zhang said to Sheng Xuan seriously, "The old lady can't bear to leave you." But it is not known whether Zhang really meant it literally or if it meant something else. However, Sheng Xuan did not deceive himself, "She is not reluctant to leave me, she is afraid that I will not go back, far away, and no one will care about her in the future. She is afraid that if that happens, she will not be able to control the family of the first house, and Xiaoye's parents will not be able to make decisions for her or support her. She is afraid that she will suffer."

Sheng Xuan was telling the truth. Zhang just smiled and refused to rub salt into his wounds, so she didn't say anything else.

"Mom, Xiaolan's wedding is in the city, you should go and join in the fun, go for a stroll in the city or something." Sheng Xuan said to the old lady. Whether Cui Shi went or not was one thing, but whether Sheng Xuan invited her was another.

Cui didn't say anything, but looked at Xiao Lan with her eyes, "Yes, grandma, we have prepared the car for you, and you must go when the time comes." Xiao Lan said this with a very sincere tone and expression.

Cui quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head slightly, "I'm not going."

Xiao Lan saw it very clearly from the side. Cui's eyes were a little red. Could it be that Cui was moved?

"I'm old, and I won't go so far away to cause you trouble." Cui said again.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? You must go." Xiao Lan said with a smile.

"No," Cui lowered her head, "I don't like to go out in my life. I'll stay here on the kang, which is better than going anywhere else." Cui's temper was just like that. In this era, women were required not to go out of the house, but if it was in Xiaolan's previous life, Cui's behavior would be too homely. Not to mention Xiaolan's engagement, even if Xiaowen got married, even if the gods from heaven came down to earth, it would probably be difficult to get Cui off the kang.

However, because Sheng Xuan and Xiao Lan spoke nicely and sincerely this time, although Cui refused, she did not say anything unpleasant as usual. Xiao Lan smiled secretly, this is good, even if she can't make Cui completely happy, but she can coax her a little and make her say less unpleasant words, as long as it doesn't bring bad luck to her happy event, it's a good thing.

Xiaolan was getting engaged, and Cui was not going, so Sheng Xuan did not invite Sheng Nuo and Sheng Hong. "Our mother is not going, so you should stay at home and take good care of the old lady." This is what Sheng Xuan said to Sheng Nuo, Sheng Hong and Xu.

Sheng Nuo, Sheng Hong and Xu quickly nodded in agreement, promising to take good care of Cui.

"Hey," Cui sighed, half lowering her head, "I am a poor nurse. Xiaolan is getting married, and I don't have anything to give her..."

Since entering the house, Zhang has remained silent except for the obligatory greeting. On the one hand, Zhang and Cui really have nothing to say. On the other hand, she knows that Cui has always disliked her. The more she says, the more mistakes she makes. It is better not to say anything. Their family came to see Cui, so there is no need to make Cui unhappy, and everyone will be unlucky. Therefore, Zhang remained silent. But when she heard Cui say that, Zhang couldn't help it. However, she thought about the happy event of her child, and swallowed the words on her lips, and just glanced at Sheng Xuan.

Sheng Xuan lowered his eyelids, and then Zhang exchanged glances with Xiao Lan. Cui was still Cui. Although her attitude towards Sheng Xuan's family had softened, it did not mean that her temperament had changed, or that she suddenly had feelings for Xiao Lan's family.

She had to rely on Xiaolan's family for support, but the family's daughter was getting engaged, and as a grandmother, she didn't want to give anything. But thinking about what happened when Xiaoting got married, this was not surprising. Instead of giving gifts to Xiaolan and making her upset, it would be better not to give anything.

"Grandma, look at what you are saying. Why do I need you to send me anything for my wedding? There is no such thing in this world, right?" Xiao Lan said with a smile, "You don't need to send me anything. When you are free, just say a few nice words to me in front of the Bodhisattva while burning incense and praying to the Buddha. You are an elderly and virtuous person. You have more experience in praying to the gods and Buddhas than any of us."
