Chapter 251: [250] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 101 (4 more updates)
After that, the two of them bought some New Year necessities such as red lanterns, red paper, and desserts. As for pork and chicken, they didn’t buy any—too expensive and not fresh. They used the cotton they had bought previously to make three sets of clothes, which were enough for the grandmother and granddaughter to wear.
When they got home, it was already dark. The winter nights come early, but it was still early in the evening. Grandma knew they were coming back today and had been waiting at the door for a while.
Over the past half month, the old lady had been feeding chickens and cooking at home, taking her medicine regularly. Her health was mostly stable now, and she even occasionally went to the market to sell fish.
The news that the two sisters were selling fried potatoes at the restaurant entrance had spread throughout the village. Some people had even bought some. While admiring their capability, people also began to wonder if the girl’s claim that Purple Star Grass was edible might actually be true.
Xiao Yu seemed quite capable; otherwise, how could she have established a relationship with the owner of Yingbin Building in just a few days?
Selling fried potatoes in front of Yingbin Building—what a great location! How did they manage to do that?
Thus, the villagers who had initially scorned the Old Lady, fearing she was not well and avoiding talking to her, started to approach her for chats after learning that the sisters were selling fried potatoes and running a small business in the town’s restaurant.
The Old Lady was no fool, especially after her illness; she had seen the coldness of the world. She clearly knew who had helped them during their most helpless times and who had kicked them when they were down. Therefore, for those who genuinely cared about her, she offered a smile. For those who pretended to care but were actually prying into their affairs, she responded with "I don’t know" to everything.
Thus, waiting eagerly for her granddaughters to return had made her very happy; she had cooked dinner early and waited for them to come home.
After the sisters had washed up and settled in, the three of them sat around the stove. The Old Lady, with tears in her eyes, looked at Xiao Yu and spoke heartfelt words.
"People say you are foolish, that being on your own is more comfortable. With your capabilities, you could easily run a business alone, yet you chose to stay with us, burdening yourself with us two ’oil bottles.’ Girl, why do you bother?"
Xiao Yu smiled lightly, "Grandma, living life, one hopes for contentment and satisfaction. I’m happy, and I don’t care what others say. I just focus on doing my own thing well. As for them, I’m not hiding anything. When spring comes, I’ll help them make money. Whether they listen or not, that’s not our concern. I’m doing this out of respect for you; otherwise, I wouldn’t bother with these trifles."
"Yaya told me you are thinking of registering your household with us? So that’s why you helped us?"
"Grandma, I understand what you mean. Initially, that was the reason, but as we’ve spent time together, I’ve almost forgotten that purpose. Having lived alone on the island for four years, I wouldn’t want to leave if not for thinking about my brother. Now that I’ve come to live with you and become relatives, it feels like fate. I like this peaceful life, but I have many unspoken duties to fulfill. So, let’s cherish the time we have now. Once I leave, who knows when I’ll be able to return."
After hearing this, the Old Lady, deep in thought, glanced at Yaya, then looked up at Xiao Yu, making Xiao Yu somewhat embarrassed by her gaze.
"Grandma, do you have something you want to tell me?"
