Landlady who likes to hoard land

Xu Wen was extremely excited to see Wang Chengyu when he returned home that evening.

"Mom, what brings you here? Did you come especially to see me?"

"You're so lovely! I came to see your Grandpa Chen, and I just happened to drop by to see you!" Wang Chengyu noticed that Xu Wen had become much more lively and outgoing since starting university.

"Grandpa Dong, Grandma Dong, look at my mom! She doesn't even care about the three of us anymore! From now on, the three of us will have to rely on each other!"

With a long face, Xu Wen acted coquettishly towards the Dong couple, perfectly portraying the pitiful, abandoned child.

Mrs. Dong smiled and patted him lightly on the back. "What nonsense are you talking about? Wash your hands and eat! There's your favorite braised pork ribs and deep-fried shrimp!"

"My Grandma Dong is the best to me! Coming right away."

Xu Wenxing rushed to wash his hands.

Wang Chengyu shook his head helplessly as he watched his retreating figure. How come he's becoming more and more unruly as he gets older?

After helping to set out the food, the family sat around the table.

"Aunt Liu's cooking skills are truly unparalleled!"

Xu Wen picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in his mouth to chew, not forgetting to praise Liu Ma's cooking skills.

Wang Chengyu looked at Xu Wen in surprise. How could he be such a different person? Is the feng shui in Beijing so good that it can turn an introvert into an extrovert?

If she hadn't been able to clearly see Xu Wen's name before his rank of "Talent Value," she would have suspected that Xu Wen had been replaced by someone else!

Xu Wen's talent value has now reached over nine hundred, which makes Wang Chengyu very gratified!

After the family finished their meal in a happy atmosphere, Wang Chengyu routinely took the pulses of Mr. and Mrs. Dong to confirm that they were in good health, and then took the pulses of everyone else in the family one by one.

"Mom, don't worry. With me here, Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong are always smiling and in a great mood. When they're in a good mood, they're naturally in good health! You're doing this for nothing!"

Xu Wen made a boastful joke.

Wang Chengyu rolled her eyes at Xu Wen, "You'd be lucky if you didn't exhaust your Grandpa Dong and Grandma Dong. They serve you like royalty all day long, making braised pork ribs and deep-fried shrimp. How come they don't turn you into a little pig!"

"Grandma Dong, my mom is jealous! Look at her resentful eyes, is she jealous that I've stolen your affection?"

Xu Wen pretended to hide behind Madam Dong, his funny and smug look making the two old people laugh non-stop.

"It's not tiring for us, because we have Aunt Liu here! I only have to talk a bit. To be honest, Xu Wen brings us more joy! With Xu Wen around, the house is much more lively than before!"

Mrs. Dong patted Xu Wen's arm and laughed.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu!" Wang Chengyu said sincerely.

Aunt Liu is the government-sponsored nanny for the Dong family. She has been taking care of the elderly couple for many years. She has a gentle personality and is an excellent cook.

When Liu Ma saw Wang Chengyu thanking her, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Chengyu, don't thank me. Even if Xu Wen wasn't here, I would still cook. Now that Xu Wen is here, the master and mistress have better appetites, and the atmosphere at home is no longer oppressive. I should thank you!"

Aunt Liu knows best what kind of life the Dong couple used to live. Over the years, they have become like family.

She is genuinely happy for the elderly couple's current state. The vibrancy of young people is simply delightful to behold.

"Don't thank me like that, it's so formal! Let's look forward, better days are ahead!"

Old Dong watched the heartwarming scene with a smile, once again feeling grateful that Heaven had been kind to him, sending him a goddaughter.

The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Chengyu took Mr. and Mrs. Dong to the hospital where Mr. Chen was hospitalized.

The hospital address was given to her by Xie Lao. Chen Lao had always been unwilling to let Wang Chengyu come to see him, even though Wang Chengyu told him that she was already in Beijing.

Wang Chengyu was puzzled. This kind of evasiveness was not like Old Chen's style at all!

She already knows and has already arrived in Beijing. Given Old Master Chen's style, he should have asked her to come see him. Why is he still obstructing her?

Wang Chengyu couldn't help but have wild thoughts. Could it be that he was injured in a special place and it was inconvenient for her to visit him?

But if it were really as she thought, then Old Master Xie would have told her too!

Since Elder Xie didn't say anything, it means there's no problem with her coming to visit.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's see the person first.

Mr. Xie only mentioned the floor where Mr. Chen was hospitalized; the three of them didn't know Mr. Chen's specific room number, so they had to go to the nurses' station to ask.

"Hello, could you please tell me which ward Chen Daguo is in?"

Wang Chengyu asked politely.

"Chen Daguo? Who are you to him?"

When the nurse heard that they were looking for Chen Daguo, her originally gentle face suddenly became strained, and her eyes held a hint of inquiry.

"Yes, Chen Daguo, I am his apprentice. I heard that he was hospitalized, so I brought my parents to visit him."

Wang Chengyu vaguely felt that the nurse's attitude was strange. Old Chen was not a political figure, so why was a nurse so wary of him?

"Did he send you?" the nurse continued to ask.

"No, it's just that I haven't seen my master in a long time. A relative told me that my master was in a car accident, so I came to see him. What, is my master very ill?"

"No, that's not it. It's just that Mr. Chen Daguo suffered a head injury in the car accident. His memory may be a bit confused after he woke up, and his personality is not the same as before. He can't remember people or things from the past very clearly!"

The nurse stared intently at Wang Chengyu.

Wang Chengyu's heart skipped a beat, but his smile remained unchanged.

"Oh, it's probably a side effect of the car accident. He should get better with rest. We won't keep him for too long. We'll just visit him and leave."

"Alright then, come with me, I'll take you there!" the nurse said with a hint of reluctance.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Chengyu helped Madam Dong catch up quickly.

I followed the nurse all the way to the end of the corridor.

"Here you are, this is the ward. It's a deluxe suite. You can go right in."

After the nurse finished speaking, she turned and left. Wang Chengyu stared at her retreating figure for a long time before looking away.

I gently pushed the door open and went in. Old Chen was leaning against the bed reading a book. Hearing the door open, he turned his head towards the door.

"Old Chen, we've come to see you!" Old Dong said first.

"Mr. Dong, Mrs. Dong, my little injury is nothing, how could it have bothered you? Please, have a seat!"

Old Chen warmly invited the two to sit down.

"Teacher, are you badly injured? How are you feeling now?" Wang Chengyu stepped forward and asked.

Old Chen looked at Wang Chengyu with a hint of confusion in his eyes at first, but soon his face was full of smiles.

"Chengyu, didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you bring Mr. and Mrs. Dong with you?"

"I wasn't seriously injured, I just hit my head. My reaction time is a bit slow, and my mind often goes blank. I can't remember some people and things very clearly. But I still remember you all."

Old Chen said with a smile, "Smooth and gentle."

Wang Chengyu felt increasingly awkward. For such a big matter, instead of trying to gain sympathy and ask for favors from her, Old Man Chen calmly said it was nothing serious, which felt very strange.

"It's good that everyone is alright. A person who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune. If you can't remember, you can't remember. Just remember who you are!"

Looking at Old Master Chen's pale face, Madam Dong felt sorry for him and offered words of comfort.

Wang Chengyu still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"I'm quite lucky. It's all thanks to my years of martial arts training that I have a good physical foundation. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened!"

At this point, Old Chen let out a long sigh!

Sighing? In Wang Chengyu's memory, Old Chen was optimistic and cheerful, not the kind of person who would sigh over something like this!
