Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Concordance (2)_1

"Getting old, getting old, my memory used to be much better," Lizhong said helplessly, stroking his graying temples. At his age, he couldn’t deny the inevitability of aging.

"Grandfather Li is still full of vigor, where have you aged?" Mo Yan consoled.

This wasn’t entirely consoling; compared to when she first met him, Lizhong’s health had improved greatly thanks to the nourishment of the Spirit Spring Water and the Space Crops. He wasn’t even falling short compared to a forty-year-old.

Lizhong looked at Mo Yan and remarked with emotion, "I have you all to thank for this. Otherwise, Grandfather Li couldn’t have enjoyed such good days."

Lizhong had said this more than once, and Mo Yan, feeling rather helpless, just smiled and did not try to persuade him not to take such matters to heart as she had done before.

After the elder and the younger had chatted for a while, they heard the arrival of several customers outside. Since Tie Tou and Wang Pangtou were too busy to attend to them and were complaining, the two stopped their conversation and hurried out to greet them.

Once the rush hour had passed and the shop was less busy, Mo Yan called Tie Tou, who was engrossed in his work, into a smaller room.

During her casual chat with Lizhong, he had mentioned, unintentionally, that Tie Tou had been quite absent-minded lately, messing up several accounts in a row. After a serious scolding from Lizhong, he had improved somewhat, but his work was no longer as reliable as before.

Mo Yan knew the reason but couldn’t share it with Lizhong. She had to talk to Tie Tou alone to see if she could help him find a solution so that he and Liu Qingqing could get married without further issues.

Seeing the horrible chilblains on Tie Tou’s face and hands, Mo Yan finally understood why Wu’s was so heartbroken; she wished she could crack open this guy’s head to see what he was thinking.

Could it be that for love, one could hurt one’s genuinely caring mother without any concern? Keeping quiet without seeking to solve the fundamental problem, could this stubborn waiting be of any use?

However, thinking of Tie Tou’s honest and simple nature, Mo Yan felt a headache coming on. If left to come up with a solution himself, he’d probably think that by hurting himself, he could make his mother take pity on him and agree to his relationship with Liu Qingqing. He probably didn’t realize that in doing so, he was unwittingly hurting those who truly cared about him.

"Brother Tie Tou, where does Liu Qingqing live?"

As Tie Tou didn’t understand subtlety, Mo Yan got straight to the point and directly asked about Liu Qingqing’s residence.

Although Xuetuan had said that Tie Tou and Liu Qingqing were destined for each other, not all connections lead to fruition, nor are all outcomes positive.

She decided to meet this woman who had bewitched Brother Tie Tou to see if she was truly worth his sincere feelings, and if she deserved Mo Yan’s efforts to plead with Wu’s on behalf of the couple.

"No, Sister Yan, Brother Tie Tou can’t tell you, I can’t," Tie Tou mistook Mo Yan’s inquiry for being instigated by Wu’s, thinking the plan was to start with Liu Qingqing and force her to leave. He was absolutely unwilling to speak.

Mo Yan grew frustrated and, not wanting to waste time in a detailed discussion, dropped a tough ultimatum: "If you don’t tell me, then don’t ever expect me to persuade Aunt Wu for you. If you can’t marry Miss Liu, don’t blame me for not helping you."

Tie Tou suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, "Yan, Sister Yan, you, you’re actually going to, to persuade my mother for Brother Tie Tou, to let, to let my mother agree to me being with Qingqing?"

A somewhat foolish man to begin with, now with this look, seemed even more foolish.

Mo Yan couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "Of course it’s true. What else did Brother Tie Tou think, that I had nothing better to do?"

"Great, thank you, Sister Yan, this is wonderful, thank you, Sister Yan, thank you..."
