The old village chief explained.

Then he apologized several times to Lin Ci and Lei Ting, trotted to the old lady's side, supported her arm, and prepared to pull her back to the room.

The old lady was very unhappy and used all her strength to break free from the old village chief's hand.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You've got the wrong person. They are not your son and daughter-in-law."

The old village chief grabbed the old lady's arm again and forcibly pulled her into the room.

Lei Ting felt a little bit sorry when she saw this scene, but she also felt that the old lady looked too serious and didn't want to get close to her.

Lin Ci thought about it, then turned to Lei Ting and said.

"We can't leave this island for a while anyway, so why not meet this old lady to kill some time."

After much thought, Lei Ting agreed with Lin Ci's idea.

The two men walked towards the old lady's yard.

Lin Ci and Lei Ting took over from the old village chief. They each held one of the old lady's hands and walked into the small courtyard.

The old lady turned around and looked at Lin Ci first, revealing a kind smile.

"You must come back often in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady turned to look at Lei Ting. The kind smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by an expression of disgust.

"Why are you so well today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

The old lady pulled her arm back mercilessly, leaving Lei Ting stunned.

Lin Ci turned his head and took a look, but did not say anything. He first helped the old lady into the room.

Turning around, Lei Ting was still standing there. It seemed that she didn't like the old lady because the old lady treated her badly. How could Lei Ting, who had been treated like a princess since she was a child, bear such grievances?

He has already decided to come to the old lady, and the old lady also believes that Lin Ci and Lei Ting are his son and daughter-in-law. If he suddenly leaves now, Lin Ci will be scared.

Then, Lin Ci turned around and walked to Lei Ting's side.

The old village chief came over at this time and spoke to Lin Ci and Lei Ting in a low voice.

"Didn't I tell you to leave just now? Why are you coming back? This old lady is not to be trifled with.

Boys are fine, but especially girls, in his mind, daughter-in-law is not so good. "

"What do you mean? Can you elaborate on that?"

Lin Ci asked.

"I don't know if his son was bewitched by his daughter-in-law, but he would obey his wife's words without hesitation. If she said go east, he would never go west.

Moreover, the daughter-in-law doesn't like her mother-in-law and always thinks she is a burden. His daughter-in-law is a sarcastic and mean person.

Every time the son brought his daughter-in-law back to the island to see his mother, the daughter-in-law was always disgusted with him and even verbally humiliated his mother.

At that time, in order not to disturb the relationship between the couple, the old lady did not say anything excessive and could only bury her bad emotions in her heart.

The reason for doing this is to improve the relationship between my son and daughter-in-law and to ensure that they are not affected by me.

Later, this idea was deeply rooted. I guess the daughter-in-law didn't want her son to come back. First, the journey was too far, and second, she felt it was not worth it...

Slowly, as time went on, the old lady eventually developed amnesia.

Until now, he only remembered the name of his son who had not returned for a long time, and he even forgot what he looked like. However, in his heart, he always remembered his daughter-in-law's harshness and her mistreatment of him.

This is what has caused him to become like this, and there is no way he can change back."

The village chief told the two people everything about the old lady's situation.

Lei Ting was deeply moved after hearing this.

I didn't expect that the old lady was actually such a pitiful person. She looked ferocious, probably to protect her young heart.

"Who has taken care of you all these years?"

"Of course it's me, the old village chief. In fact, there is not much expense. It's nothing more than three meals a day and a few sets of clothes a year.

He is still able to move around now and doesn't need much care, but he is afraid that he won't be able to walk on his own in the future. I'm afraid I will have to take good care of him every day.

But you don't have to worry, I am a responsible old village chief, I will never abandon the old lady, she is the one who watched me grow up."

 2.7 Although the old village chief has a beard, he has a very kind smile.

Lin Ci turned and looked at Lei Ting.

Lei Ting looked up at Lin Ci and blinked, feeling a little helpless, but unable to bear it.

"Forget it, it looks like I'm going to have a hard time today."

"So you agree?"

Lin Ci, a smile appeared on his face.

Lei Ting nodded slightly and replied.

"I was wronged in today's drama, and I will regret it, but the two of us ignored the old lady and didn't care about her. I will regret it even more after leaving this island."

【644】Lonely old man

Sanlai Island.

Qiu Qiu led everyone off the ship.

Most of the people on this small island are lonely elderly people.

Qiu Qiu, who was standing still, divided everyone into four groups, and each group went to one of the houses to help the lonely elderly people.

After arranging all the itineraries, Qiu Qiu was accompanied by Hua Linglong, Jin Baosan, and Daxiaoyan.

Five people walked to a door and knocked gently.

The door was not locked and was ajar, leaving a gap. No matter how hard Qiu Qiu knocked on the door, there was no response.

Qiu Qiu tried to push the door open, walked in and looked through the transparent glass of the small courtyard. He saw an old man sitting in the house with unsteady gait, white hair, slightly bent back, and extremely skinny.

Random Qiu Qiu gestured to everyone to stay where they were while he went in to find out the situation first.

Standing at the door, Qiu Qiu tried knocking again, but the person inside still did not respond.

Qiu Qiu pushed the door open and walked inside. Only after he pushed open the door of the room did the old man turn around and look at Qiu Qiu.

Qiu Qiu nodded comfortably and said to the old man.

"I'm really sorry, we're here to do charity work. Does your family need help?"

The old man didn't say anything. He pointed his fingers at his ears and shook his head to indicate that he couldn't hear because of his poor hearing.

Qiu Qiu loudly repeated what he had just said to the old man.

The old man nodded.

"There's nothing to help with."

Qiu Qiu was also very polite. Just as he was about to leave the room, the old man stood up and walked towards him.

Hearing the sound of faltering footsteps, the ball stopped and turned to look at the old man.

The old man smiled kindly and spoke to Qiu Qiu somewhat embarrassedly.

"Can you guys stay with me? You can have lunch at home. Even though I'm weak now, I can cook for you. You can tell me what you want to eat."

After hearing this, Qiu Qiu suddenly understood that the old woman was just too lonely and wanted everyone to accompany her. She would be very happy even if it was just to chat.

Then Qiu Qiu nodded without hesitation and called for others to come in.

Everyone gathered around the old man.

Because of the age difference, I have no idea how to communicate with the elderly.

After a brief questioning, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The entire room was unusually quiet and no one knew what to say.

The old man smiled.

"You can talk about your own topics, and I'll listen."

The old man just wanted a lively feeling.

For example, during the Chinese New Year, when the whole family is having a great time, the younger generations are talking about their experiences of the year, but the elders cannot join in the discussion or make any suggestions, and they even cannot understand some profound questions.

He stood not far away, looking at the house that had been deserted for a year and suddenly became lively. That was happiness.

Qiu Qiu stood up and walked into the small yard. Weeds were spreading from the gaps between the tiles and growing wildly throughout the small yard.

The old man didn't have the energy to do these chores, so he simply asked Qiuqiu to assign work to everyone, and everyone had their own responsibilities.

Some helped the elderly clean up the room, some cleaned the yard, and some pulled weeds.

The time soon reached noon.

The old man quickly told everyone to stop working and asked Qiu Qiu and others what they wanted to eat for lunch.

Jin Baosan, who was tired after a morning of work, heard that it was time to eat and his eyes lit up as he spoke to the old man.

"I want to eat hairy crabs, crayfish, abalone, seafood, pork elbows, chicken legs..."

Hearing this, the smile on the man's face slowly disappeared, replaced by an embarrassed look.

However, the old man did not directly say that he did not have these things at home. He first walked to the room where food was stored and pushed open the wooden door.

Open the pantry and look at the food inside.

There was only a piece of meat marinated in salt, some noodles, steamed buns, and green vegetables that would not spoil easily.

Jin Baosan thought the old man was going to prepare some delicious food, so he ran after him.

The rest of the people followed Jin Bao San's steps and walked to the old man. When they saw what was in the cabinet, they were immediately disappointed.

Jin Baosan sighed.

790 “No matter how I eat these things, I can’t swallow them.

If I had known this, I would have gone to another place. You are so close to the beach, someone must have seafood at home. I'm sure you can eat the most authentic seafood here."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very loud snapping sound.

It turned out to be Qiu Qiu, who stretched out his hand and hit Jin Baosan on the head.

Before Jin Bao San could react, Qiu Qiu grabbed Jin Bao San's arm and mercilessly came to the corner of the yard, yelling at him.

"We are doing charity today, not letting you eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea. How could an old man have seafood at home?

You'll disappoint him by saying that."

When the old man heard what Jin Bao San said, he was indeed a little disappointed. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to explain to these children.

Jin Baosan said to Qiu Qiu in a wronged tone.

“I didn’t think much about it at the time.”

"When will you grow your brain? I'm really impressed."

【645】Qiu Qiu came up with a solution

Now Qiu Qiu must come up with a solution that can both save the old man's face and make him feel that everyone is staying here with peace of mind and not being wronged.

The old man's heart is already very fragile, and he is alone at home. It's so hard to find someone to accompany him, but he acts like he is just completing a task, which makes him even more disheartened.

Qiu Qiu suddenly came up with an idea and was about to explain some matters to Jin Baosan in front of him.

Looking at Jin Baosan's silly appearance, he suddenly felt that he was unreliable, so he still found Hua Linglong.

"Look, everyone is talking to the old man, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Don't put too much burden on the old man. I'm going to buy seafood now.

Remember, you must pretend that you don’t know about this matter.”

After saying this, Qiu Qiu gave Hua Linglong a firm look and then ran out of the yard.

Running all the way, Qiu Qiu soon arrived at the nearby beach and happened to see a fishing boat docked on the shore.

Qiu Qiu had no time to stop and ran all the way to the boat. Then he bent down, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped heavily.

After calming down for a few seconds, Qiu Qiu slowly spoke to the salvagers on the boat.

"Is there any fresh seafood? Can you give me some?"
