Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2290: Chapter 2226: Especially Tormenting

Meng Xinian exhaled a sigh of turbid air and said, ”Actually, Old Yang can’t eat or drink anything. I didn’t know it before, but when he came to the camp this time, I found out that he had contracted such a strange illness, and it’s already too severe. To avoid worrying or upsetting his wife and Officer Yang, he lied to them, saying he could still drink rice soup and eat fruit, but in fact, he can’t eat or drink at all.”

Chiang Xiao exclaimed, ”How can this be okay?”

”It’s not,” Meng Xinian said, ”So, Old Yang himself said that his time might be up in these few days. He is sustaining himself with glucose injections. If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid of troubling his daughter-in-law at home in these last days, scaring her, he wouldn’t have come to live here.”

It’s precisely because of this that he went to steal that tomato.

Because Old Yang really wanted to taste a tomato, but if he ate it, he would certainly vomit badly.

Meng Xinian didn’t tell Chiang Xiao because he thought her things had to be ingestible to be effective.

Old Yang couldn’t eat or drink, so what could be done?

Chiang Xiao never imagined things could be like this.

She was stunned for a moment before she remembered what she wanted to say, ”But, just now I asked Old Yang to eat a piece of green bean cake, and he was fine after eating it.”

”What? He ate it?”

Meng Xinian’s expression changed, and he immediately pulled open the door and rushed out.

Chiang Xiao felt uneasy and followed him out.

Meng Xinian rushed into the next room and saw Old Yang standing by the window.

Very calm, not vomiting as he had imagined.

”Old Yang?” Meng Xinian’s voice was a little trembling.

Old Yang turned around, looked at Meng Xinian, then glanced at Chiang Xiao behind him, his eyes a bit red, his lips quivering. After a while, he said, ”Meng boy, I ate it, and nothing bad happened.” He raised an index finger, ”I ate one piece.”

Meng Xinian’s eyes suddenly reddened.

And Mother Yang was sitting by the side, wiping her tears.

”You old man, always saying you want to go upstairs to drink the rice soup I served you, but in the end, you poured it all into the vegetable garden. You think I didn’t know? I thought, if you can’t eat anymore, I’ll accompany you by not eating or drinking, and we’ll just see whenever God wants to take us, we’ll go together...”

She knew everything.

This period was particularly agonizing.

”Old Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about...”

Chiang Xiao watched them, her chest feeling like it was filled with a huge mass of wet cotton, making her want to cry but unable to.

She wondered if it was fate that brought her here this time to save this deeply affectionate elderly couple.

Moreover, in the future, Tyrant Meng would no longer have such a scar in his heart.

Otherwise, if he found out later that Old Yang could basically eat her food, and he hadn’t let her come over, how would he be able to bear it then?

He would blame himself to death.

”I’m going to the rooftop to pick vegetables, Big Master, is it okay if I pick as much as I want?” She took a breath and said lightly, ”I don’t want to be a vegetable thief like Tyrant Meng.”

Old Yang looked at her and smiled, ”Sure, the whole vegetable garden is yours.”

This little girl is truly amazing.

Chiang Xiao grabbed Meng Xinian, ”I need labor, come on, help me pick vegetables.”

At this time, she felt it was better to leave some space for the two elders.

Meng Xinian silently followed her to the rooftop.

Dusk had already fallen, but it was still visible, only that the vegetable garden was covered with a layer of sunset glow, casting shadows of vines and bean leaves.
