Deserted Wife's Extraordinary Life

Diao Chan stretched her back and walked out of the inner room. She had slept well the previous night, so her complexion had changed. Her skin was white and rosy. Although she did not put on any makeup, it did not look any better than yesterday's beauty. It looked like Diao Chan was a good fighter as well.    

"It's good that you're awake. Seeing how deeply you're sleeping, I was worried that you'd sleep until night!" Cui Huixian joked.    

"It's possible that I slept comfortably here, and when I closed my eyes it was daylight." Diao Chan said.    

"That's how it is in the country. Quiet, the air is good, so you feel comfortable sleeping." Cui Huixian reasoned from a scientific point of view.    

Diao Chan giggled. "If I knew this place was so good, I would have come here a few years ago to play with you."    

"Sure, there will be more chances in the future." Cui Huixian said, "Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. It's time for lunch."    

Diao Chan then went to the bathroom while Kang Ying went to the living room to bring the old lady to the dining room for dinner.    

The old lady was very obedient in front of Kang Ying. Even though she seemed to be delirious, her hunger and other basic functions remained. The fragrant food immediately attracted her attention.    

Kang Ying looked over and saw a pot of stewed pork ribs on the table. It was unknown what secret technique was used to cook it, but the smell was very fragrant. There was a layer of white sesame seed on the surface, making it look extremely appetizing.    

Other than the ribs, there was also a fried fish and two fried vegetables. One was rice straw and the other was Shanghai green. There was a bowl of fried golden balls by the side. She didn't know what they were so she asked Cui Huixian,    

"Auntie Cui, what was that explosion about?"    

"Haha, you can't tell? You haven't eaten, have you? " Cui Huixian was quite pleased with herself, "Let me tell you, this is fried sweet potato, the villagers gave me a basket, I see too much, I'm afraid I can't finish it all, so I cooked it. Then I added glutinous rice, kneaded it into a ball, and fried it in the pot."    

After Diao Chan washed up and went to the table, everyone started to eat.    

At this moment, Kang Ying asked, "Isn't Jiangyuan coming back to eat?"    

Kang Ying estimated that Cui Huixian must have called Shi Jiangyuan as well. As expected, Cui Huixian said:    

"Don't bother with him, he's always running outside. I just called him and told him that he wouldn't be able to come back for food."    

"Oh, something must have happened." Kang Ying said, "That's how it is for him. He seems to be very busy, not touching his feet at all."    

Diao Chan was most interested in the vegetables, and Cui Huixian's food was especially delicious, using the biggest plate in the house. Obviously, she wanted to make people eat more and eat less.    

Diao Chan ate two vegetables and said, "Wow, it's very delicious. The taste of the dishes is very strong. They don't look like the dishes we ate in the capital. They have a light taste."    

"That's a hormone driven out of the big shed, can it be the same? This is a dish grown by our own clan, of course it's delicious. " Cui Huixian said.    

Kang Ying understood that at this time, many of the full-time vegetable farmers had used some illegal aphrodisiacs in order to make more money, which was harmful to their bodies. Thus, when Cui Huixian said this, she was indeed deeply impressed.    

After eating for a while, Diao Chan could not figure out the identity of the unfamiliar old lady in the house. Seeing that Kang Ying did not seem to be familiar with her, she dared to ask Kang Ying, "Who is this grandma?"    

"Oh, I met her on the way. I didn't know where my home was, so I had to bring her back first. After dinner, I was going to take her to the police station."    

"Not the police station." Then the old lady grumbled again.    

Diao Chan could also tell that the old lady was abnormal. However, although she had an ignorant expression on her face, she did not seem to have gone berserk. She was not afraid. Instead, she praised Kang Ying saying:    

"You're the only one who would dare to bring a living person home. Aren't you afraid that people will say that you're abducting people?"    

"This old man isn't a child. He should be better off." Kang Ying said.    

"Ah, you don't know, in the rural areas these days, some families don't raise old people very well. The old people don't have pensions, and when they get old they become a burden, so they despise the old people. So, if this grandma is in this situation, if you bring her home, those people might even want to take her home!"    

Diao Chan may seem aloof and aloof, but it seems that she was not completely ignorant of the grassroots affairs.    

"How do you know so much about the countryside? Haven't you ever been to the countryside? " Kang Ying couldn't help but ask with a laugh.    

"I've never been to the countryside before, but my colleagues are all journalists. They travel all over the country, so I heard about them when they came back from interviews." Diao Chan said.    

Kang Ying nodded in relief. She had forgotten that Diao Chan came from the same unit as her, which allowed her to have the most information.    

Then the old lady suddenly reached over and picked up a spoon from the pork chop in front of her. She scooped up a big scoop of pork chop and put it in Kang Ying's bowl.    

"Ah Xin, eat more. Eat more. Look at how thin you are. Eat more to grow meat."    

Kang Ying and Cui Huixian were dumbfounded. Why did this old lady only love Kang Ying?    

After dinner, Kang Ying decided to take the old lady to the police station. Diao Chan and Cui Huixian said they would go with them, because they were bringing a living person with them after all. They thought it would be better if they accompanied Kang Ying.    

Kang Ying thought about it and felt that it was hard to fathom. What she was doing was a good thing, who knew if the other side's family would think so? Thus, he nodded happily.    

A few of them brought the old lady into the car and headed for the police station.    

At noon, only one policeman was on duty at the police station. When Kang Ying saw the old man who had lost his mind to the police station, she asked for Kang Ying's name and home address as usual and then registered the situation one by one.    

Kang Ying knew that it would take a lot of time. After all, reporting a crime was a serious matter. Fortunately, she went home to eat first.    

The old lady sat blankly at the side without any expression. After Kang Ying finished her registration, she instructed the policeman:    

"Grandmother's mind isn't clear. You mustn't let her leave this courtyard, or else we'll lose her again."    

The policeman said, "Got it. We will watch her carefully. When it's night time and there's no one else around, we'll send her to the orphanage first."    

"Thank you, then." Kang Ying saw that things had gone smoothly and wanted to leave, but when she looked back at the old man sitting alone on the chair, she couldn't bear it anymore. Even though she knew it was useless to talk to him, she still went up to comfort him.    

"Elder, I'll be leaving first. You stay here well, and soon your family will come and find you."    

"Ah Xin, don't go. Where are you going?" He didn't expect the old lady to react again when she saw that he was about to leave. She pulled on Kang Ying's hand, preventing her from leaving.    

Kang Ying felt rather sad and said, "Grandma, I'm not your Ah Xin. Don't worry, Ah Xin will come looking for you soon."    

"What?" You're not my Ah Xin? "You're my Ah Xin, and you still want to lie to me, the mother?"
