132 - Visiting Orphans and Widows

Translated by rabbitrisu

This time, Cheng Yun and Su Zimo still went through the entire process as a routine, but after they took the Lin siblings into the food stall and had a conversation with Madam Chen, Cheng Yun immediately invited her to dine with them.

Looking at the squished plastic bottles in the woven bag that Madam Chen carried around with her, Cheng Yun guessed that she hadn’t eaten lunch just like the Lin siblings. She had entered the food stall very quickly just now.

The dishes on Madam Chen’s table were simple and cold dishes that didn’t require much time to cook, like fried peanuts with cucumbers and other simple things. When Cheng Yun asked the waiter to combine their two tables with a smile on his face, Madam Chen was slightly dazed, but accepted his kindness with a smile.

“What a coincidence, my surname is Cheng. This must be fate.” Cheng Yun didn’t ask which ‘Chen’ it was. There was nothing special about it anyway. All encounters are a kind of fate.

Coupled with Cheng Yun’s lovely smile, he looked more pleasing than the Lin siblings.

After Cheng Yun chatted with Madam Chen and the Lin siblings for almost half an hour, Cheng Yun directly called Madam Chen ‘auntie.’ The old lady seemed very happy, and invited Cheng Yun to go play at her house after the food was done.

That was exactly what Cheng Yun wanted.

It could be seen from Madam Chen’s repeated invitation for the Lin siblings to go play at her house that she really hoped that young people would visit her. Cheng Yun had learned about the snake disguised as himself from Bai Man, and had gently solved his sister Cheng Jingmeng’s matter. He had also learned about the nightmare world related to Alzheimer’s disease, so he felt very emotional.

So after looking at the old lady watching the Lin siblings, Cheng Yun guessed that Madam Chen would probably invite them to play after they got acquainted. Even if Madam Chen didn’t invite them, they could still ask, couldn’t they?

“Of course, ah. I’ll help auntie bring this bag of things back.” Cheng Yun said with a smile.

“I planned to pick up more, but now that I’ve met such a good young man, I just want to go to my house and relax.” Madam Chen was smiling from ear to ear.

While Cheng Yun and Madam Chen were happily chatting, Su Zimo watched the Lin siblings’ expressions.

When Cheng Yun agreed to go to Madam Chen’s house to play, their expressions actually changed!

“A-Hao, A-Ren.” Cheng Yun was very enthusiastic and smiled at the Lin siblings. “You guys should come too. Didn’t you just say that you had nothing to do in the afternoon? Haha, and didn’t we negotiate about the tour guide before? When we leave Madam Chen’s home, we can still have a nice walk.”

The Lin siblings’ expressions became more complicated. It seemed that they were obviously moved by the rewards from Cheng Yun, but they didn’t seem to want to go with them to Madam Chen’s home.

“Da-gege, Da-jiejie, can’t you go to granny’s house?” Su Zimo said at the right time.

If they really had no conscience, maybe they would be able to escape. It’s a pity that Lin Hao and Lin Ren couldn’t hide that they were just cold outside and warm inside, no matter how bad they looked.

“A-Hao, A-Ren…” Madam Chen looked at the two oddly. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Lin Hao showed a slightly ugly expression. “Let’s go now!”

After discussing it, Lin Hao and Lin Ren rose from the table absent-mindedly and walked out of the food stall at a fast pace. If not for Su Zimo’s reminder, they may have repeated one of the previous methods of death.

The food stall wasn’t far from Madam Chen’s home, but Lin Hao and Lin Ren seemed to walk very slowly. It was like they were from a different world than Cheng Yun, who was walking in front and chatting happily.

Especially when the siblings walked onto the dark staircase, they took it one step at a time, feeling unpleasant.

“Auntie, what floor is your home on, ah?” Cheng Yun’s voice came from the staircase.

“On the third floor. There are many elderly men and women without families in this building. We don’t have hobbies usually, and no one comes to see us. So A-Hao and A-Ren occasionally come to visit us and relieve our boredom. What kind children!” Madam Chen sighed as she walked. “It’s just that they haven’t come very often recently. It’s as if they forgot where this old lady lives.”

“So they come often to accompany you, ah?” Cheng Yun admired the two siblings even more.

“Yes, ah. Yesterday, Old Hong from downstairs told me that these two children were going to see him. I envied him…” Madam Chen paused, then suddenly said. “Let’s go get Old Hong together…”

“Old Hong returned to the country!” Lin Hao broke her silence and said aloud. “Old Hong returned to the country for something!”

“Ah?” Madam Chen’s voice seemed a bit confused. “Old Hong ran a long way to the supermarket last night and bought a lot of things. Isn’t he going to entertain you?”

“I…” Lin Ren-didi couldn’t speak.

“It’s a specialty to bring back to the country!” Lin Hao interrupted her younger brother and answered certainly.
