Chapter 142 The Little Mouse That Stole Oil

"Let's go, we should get ready to meet our guests!" Lin Hao took the little boy's hand and walked towards the old lady's Rongshou Hall.

This was a decision they made after careful consideration. What was originally just a small banquet inviting some of their girlfriends had become quite different with the arrival of the county magistrate's wife, and the old lady naturally couldn't stay out of it.

When they arrived at Rongshou Hall, they found that the old lady was already dressed.

"You've arrived!" The old lady, who was sitting at the table drinking tea to aid digestion, smiled as she watched the two people walk in hand in hand.

"Greetings, Mother and Grandmother!" The two bowed in unison, their appearances becoming increasingly similar.

"Alright, get up quickly! Have you had breakfast yet?" the old lady asked habitually, gesturing for people to sit down.

"I ate it. It was purple sweet potato porridge that my mother made for me." The little boy's voice was filled with joy as he answered. It had been quite a while since he had eaten anything made by his mother!

"You're so busy today, why did you cook yourself?" The old lady looked at Lin Hao reproachfully. She had heard that Lin Hao had been having trouble sleeping these past few days.

"Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well get up and move around. Besides, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Yu-ge today, so I'll have to trouble Mother to look after him!"

Although it was in her own yard, there were bound to be many people around today. If something happened to Yu-ge'er, a little child, and he was bumped into by someone, she would have nowhere to cry!

"Don't worry, I'll keep him firmly by my side today, and I guarantee you'll get back a son who won't be missing a single hair!"

Sensing the teasing in the old lady's tone, Lin Hao blushed and explained, "I was overthinking it. My mother must have thought of everything more thoroughly than I have."

"Alright, you're just worrying too much. What do I have to worry about? I'm happy for you!" The old lady said nonchalantly, not wanting her to overthink things.

Lin Hao's embarrassment subsided somewhat. She had been so busy that she had lost her mind. Yu Ge'er was the old lady's own grandson; did she really need to remind him? Resisting the urge to flick herself on the forehead, Lin Hao secretly warned herself that she must think before she spoke in the future!

The little boy sat obediently to the side, listening to his two loving elders discussing his future. His face was initially serious, but as he listened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He knew it; his mother loved him the most!

Noticing the little boy's gaze and his mischievous, sly look, Lin Hao's face flushed again, and she snapped, somewhat embarrassed and angry: "What are you looking at? It's all your fault, you little brat!"

After saying that, I realized that it was really childish of me to take my anger out on a child, since the child hadn't done anything wrong!

Fortunately, the little boy didn't care about her tone at all and answered seriously, "Mother is beautiful!" Especially his mother, who cared for and loved him, was even more beautiful than usual. The little boy silently said this in his heart but did not say it out loud.

Lin Hao was speechless, and could only let out a heavy "humph" through her nose!

The old lady followed her grandson's words and looked at Lin Hao's outfit today, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes: "You look quite refreshing today! Elegant yet dignified, just like a lady from a scholarly family should look!"

"Mother thinks it's good too?" Lin Hao's eyes lit up; it was worth the long search she had undertaken.

"Hmm, not bad!" That was the reason I asked her to come early today. If her clothes didn't fit well, I would have had to give her some pointers. Now it seems that I was just being a busybody!
