You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Hey, you two," Grandma finally paused her pursuit of justice and sat down on Shen Tianyun's sofa: "You are already grown up, and since it is destined by fate, I, an old woman, don't want to meddle in other people's business... but there is one thing."

"Grandma." Shen Jie blushed and shook her grandmother's sleeve, signaling her not to continue.

Xiao Yao rarely saw her so shy.

"There's just one thing. You're still students after all. If you get into any trouble, I really won't be able to explain to your father - Xiao Yao, do you hear me?" Grandma said sternly.

"I heard it." Xiao Yao stammered.

"So when you go out, at least you should pay attention to safety and don't run red lights," grandma taught.

Xiao Yao & Shen Jie: “?”

"Go out from the alley shop here," grandma said mysteriously, "go straight ahead and turn onto Gaoling Road. There is a small shop where you can buy family planning products..."

"Grandma!" Xiao Yao was embarrassed. Shen Jie was also ashamed and annoyed. She stamped her feet and turned away.

"Hehehe..." The old woman was still laughing slyly.

"What on earth are you doing here?" Xiao Yao changed the subject and said, "Didn't you go to the old lady Jin's house to play cards? You have to knock on the door before entering the room next time, okay?"

There was a hint of grievance and resentment in the boy's words.

"Knock on the door. OK, OK." Grandma said with a smile, "By the way, what am I here for? Oh, I remember now. Jiejie, come with me."

"Hey." Shen Jie turned around and let her grandmother hold her hand, pass through the mirror again, and follow her to her grandmother's room.

The opening of this room was in a corner of the soap room and had been locked while grandma was out, so this was Shen Jie's first time setting foot here.

Grandma's room was very simple, with just a hard bed, a small color TV on the bedside table opposite it, a square table by the window, and a hardwood chair against a dressing closet - at this moment, Shen Jie was standing at the door of the room, looking at her grandma looking for something in the dressing closet with a bit of helplessness.

The door of the dressing room was wide open, blocking Shen Jie's view. Grandma was standing on the ground with her legs sticking out, and her upper body was completely hidden behind the door of the closet.

"Grandma, what are you looking for?" Shen Jie asked her, "I can help you."

"No, no, ah, I found it." Grandma closed the closet door tremblingly, holding something in one hand, and walked towards Shen Jie.

When Shen Jie saw clearly what her grandmother was holding, she screamed in surprise: "Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Shh, shh." Grandma nervously put her finger on her lips: "Don't let Xiao Yao hear it."

"Grandma, I can't accept this." Shen Jie refused firmly.

In her right hand, grandma held four or five bundles of red money tied up with rubber bands, and in her left hand, she held an exquisite jewelry box. You could imagine what was inside without even opening it.

"These three wedding gifts were originally yours." Grandma insisted, "My mother-in-law gave them to me, so they can be considered a family heirloom."

"Grandma, it's too early, too early." Shen Jie argued with a red face: "You put too much pressure on me."

"Isn't it early for you to get to know each other?" Grandma said with a smile: "Early or late, it doesn't matter. Since the result is certain, it's better to get to know each other early rather than late."

Grandma tried her best to stuff the thing in her hand into Shen Jie's hands, and Shen Jie tried her best to push it back, and the two of them started to "fight".

Finally, Shen Jie reluctantly compromised: "In that case, I will put these jewelry in Xiao Yao's room first, and I will never take the money."

"My dear," said the grandmother earnestly, "daughter, you have spent a lot of money on him during the time you have known him, right?"

Shen Jie wanted to deny it, but finally answered: "Not much actually..."

"Xiao Yao is not a person who likes to eat...eat...live off others," Grandma explained, "The reason why he doesn't spend money on you is because he has no money, and he has no money because I don't give him money, and I don't give him money because he used to spend it recklessly in Internet cafes. My daughter, I feel relieved if you keep the money with me."

Shen Jie couldn't help but blush when she thought about how she accompanied Xiao Yao to the Internet cafe. She wondered how her grandmother would feel if she knew about this.

"I just want you to know that although my family is not as rich as yours, our attitude is still very upright," said the grandmother. "Besides, you are now away from home alone and you have many other places where you need money..."

Shen Jie interrupted her grandmother's chattering: "Grandma, what you said is wrong."

"Ah?" said grandma.

"Who said I was staying outside?" Shen Jie said with a smile, "I am just living in my own home, right?"

"Jiejie..." Grandma was stunned.

"Grandma, it's not easy for you to save up this pension, so please buy some good food," Shen Jie said, "I still have money here - I brought a lot of money with me. I promise you, if I run out of money one day, I will ask you right away, and I will not be shy."

"you promise?"

"I promise." Shen Jie raised her right palm to the ceiling.

After this difficult bargaining, Shen Jie finally put away the jewelry box and grandma took back the red money.

……

"Grandma, why are you crying?" Shen Jie was at a loss: "You don't have to be like this even though I didn't take the money."

"No, silly girl." Grandma shook her head and said, "Grandma is happy."

"Grandma..." Shen Jie reached out and hugged the old lady's shoulders.

"I know I don't have many years left." Grandma sobbed and said, "The one I am most worried about is me, the eldest grandson."

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Jie said angrily, "You will definitely live a long life."

The old lady shook her head: "No, Yunyun told me everything."

"This kid!" Shen Jie was furious: "Why is he so careless with his mouth, saying all kinds of nonsense?"

"She didn't say anything specific," Grandma shook her head and explained, "I asked her about it. She hasn't seen me, and you haven't seen me either."

Shen Jie was silent for a moment and looked around, searching for some tissues.

"Logically I shouldn't say this," the old lady wiped away her tears, "The one I'm most worried about is my eldest grandson."

"Oh, what's there to worry about?" Shen Jie felt sorry for Xiao Yaoming.

"My other grandson, his cousin, and his cousins, have very good parents and are very hardworking," the old lady said. "You know about his parents' situation. They don't study hard, they are biased in their studies, they just want to play all day, and they don't seem to be very popular in school..."

"Grandma, that's all in the past," Shen Jie told her grandmother. "He's making great progress in his studies and has made many good friends."

"Really? Are you kidding me?" Grandma said, "I've always been worried about what will happen if my grandson can't get married in the future... I'll tell you in secret, I've even written a will. After I die, I'll leave this house to him alone, in case it's demolished later..."

Shen Jie: "..."

"Oh my!" Grandma suddenly realized the problem: "This house has never been demolished, right?!"

"Hmm..." Shen Jie said, "Didn't you go in just now?"

"As for me, I have always been thinking that I, an old woman, should live a few more years, so that I can see my grandson get married and have children, and then I can pass away with peace of mind..."

"..." Shen Jie suddenly felt her nose a little sour: "Grandma, I will definitely take good care of him for you."

"Nannan, I feel relieved now that you said that." The old lady's face was filled with relief: "When I first heard Yunyun say that I still couldn't see Xiao Yao's wife and children, I felt very sad."

"Grandma, can't you see us?" Shen Jie said quickly.

“Yes, yes,” said grandma, “and then I realized it very quickly—this is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva has appeared…”

"grandmother……"

Xiao Yao stretched his neck and waited, and finally waited for Shen Jie to come back. The girl's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"What's wrong with you?!" Xiao Yao was shocked: "Are you crying?"

"Dog," Shen Jie put down the jewelry box in her hand and hugged Xiao Yao: "I miss my grandma."

"Ah...ah." Xiao Yao said.

"Let's take a day to go see her." Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

"Gouzi, you really need to be nicer to your grandma." Shen Jie said.

"I know," Xiao Yao replied, "What did you talk to my grandma about for so long? What's in this box?"

Shen Jie opened the jewelry box in front of Xiao Yao. Inside was a pair of gold earrings, a gold necklace, a set of gold rings, and a pair of surprisingly large jade bracelets.

"Ah, this," Xiao Yao said eagerly, "it suits you very well."

"It doesn't fit at all, and the style is so tacky." Shen Jie said this, but the action of reaching out to touch it revealed her inner cherishment.

This pair of jade bracelets given by my grandmother looks quite eye-catching. The jade color of the bracelets is deep emerald green, with luster and texture, exuding a deep historical and cultural charm. Unlike the round and smooth traditional jade bracelets, this pair of bracelets has complex carvings and patterns, showing exquisite craftsmanship and unique design - it is not ordinary at first glance.

While trying the bracelet on her wrist, Shen Jie said to Xiao Yao, "Your grandmother gave me a lot of money, but I didn't take a penny."

"?" Xiao Yao: "Why don't you take the money?"

"What are you talking about?" Shen Jie asked angrily, "Is your grandmother's pension very high?"

“Not high.”

"How dare you take the money that the old lady saved with great difficulty?" Shen Jie said.

"By the way, when you go selling jewelry tomorrow, don't sell the ones my grandma gave you." Xiao Yao said.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Jie was stunned: "How could I possibly——(｀Д) Ouch!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao was startled and rushed forward to support him: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Shen Jie waved her hand and said, "I really came a little early..."

"Fuck, are you serious?" Xiao Yao said.

"Gouzi, can you go out and buy me some extended night-time products?" Shen Jie rubbed her belly and said, "It's the same brand as last time."

"Okay." Xiao Yao walked outside without saying anything.

"Gouzi," Shen Jie called him from behind again.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao stopped and turned around.

"Wait, wait until it leaves this time." Shen Jie looked at the ceiling and said, "My relative."

"What do you mean?" As soon as Xiao Yao asked these three words, he immediately understood what the girl meant: "Okay!"

He left happily.

Under the supervision of his grandmother, Xiao Yao slept in his own little bed that night, while Shen Jie squeezed together with Shen Tianyun in 2034.

The next day, Xiao Yao slept until dawn. When he woke up, he found that Shen Jie, Shen Tianyun and his grandmother were gone. He was the only one left in both homes.

There was a message from Shen Jie in the inbox of the mobile phone, saying that she had gone shopping with Xiao Yao's grandmother.

Xiao Yao walked around the soap bars twice. He was too lazy to heat up the leftovers in the refrigerator on the gas stove, so he decided to go out for a walk and look for food.

Xiao Yao called Yu Luying twice but no one answered. He felt a little strange and decided to go to her house to check on her.

When he was halfway there, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"Xiong! Ji!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly.

"Yao'er!" Little Bear saw Xiao Yao and walked towards him happily: "What a coincidence?"

Chapter 336: Joint Property after Marriage

"Xiong! Ji!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly.

"Yao'er!" Little Bear saw Xiao Yao and walked towards him happily: "What a coincidence?"

The two of them went to the "Jinsha Hotel" to have lunch, arm in arm. They had dishes such as grilled beef, dry pot chicken, and shrimp and eggs.

"I have almost forgotten when I last saw you," Xiao Yao said, "was it...was it...that..."

"Hi, busy." said the little bear.

"What are you busy with?" Xiao Yao asked Xiao Xiong: "The whole summer vacation, and school is about to start."

"I'm busy, who knows what I'm busy with." The little bear waved his hand and said carelessly.

Xiao Yao: “?”

"Study, summer camp," Xiao Xiong carefully spread out Xiao Yao's fingers, "working, traveling..."

"Still working," Xiao Yao said, "Are you short of money? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"What a girlfriend," Little Bear said angrily, "My dad just can't stand idle people. If he doesn't give me something to do, I'll feel itchy all over."

"Well, all parents are like this." Xiao Yao responded casually.

"I really envy you..." said the little bear.

"Isn't there a summer camp? Where did you go?" Xiao Yao didn't want to hear words like "I envy you for not having parents", so he quickly changed the subject.

"What do you think of the summer camp for math training? - Didn't you go to summer camp too? How was it?" Little Bear came forward with great interest.
