Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don t Mess Around! - Chapter 2804

2804 Creating Trouble
The old madam took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes were filled with kindness as she looked at her grandson who had become successful. She said in relief, “Fortunately, our Little Six is a powerful person. When he was young, even if he was a fool, he knew his limits. Now, he’s even more promising. He was a child without a mother, yet he has reached where he is today. That’s enough.”

“That’s right, that’s right. We’ll naturally stand on our grandson’s side. She’ll be here later. If our grandson doesn’t want to see her, he won’t see her.” The old master smiled as he looked at Xia Jinyuan’s wise eyes. He was satisfied with his grandson.

“Who said that the elderly must be magnanimous when they encounter things? Others can’t take advantage of our seniority. Hahaha, we’re old children now. We can be unreasonable occasionally.”

The old master’s teasing made the old madam smile too. “Old man, Little Six doesn’t look like his father. He looks like you. He’s been a bastard since he was young!”

“It’s good to be a bastard. As long as you know what you did, that’s all that matters. If you can follow the rules, that’s called being smart. Hahaha, Little Six is like me—smart.”

Hearing the layers of flattery in Old Master’s words, the old madam fanned herself even faster.

Little Six was indeed like his grandpa. Their children didn’t dare to say it, but she did.

They were the same kind of bastards.

There were advantages to being a bastard. They wouldn’t let themselves suffer.

The old madam sighed softly. She had thought it through and decided not to interfere with the matters between her grandson and her ex-daughter-in-law anymore.

Now that they were old, let them live comfortably for a while. There was no need to wrong their grandson and fulfill an outsider’s wish.

The old madam no longer accompanied her husband and was helped back to her room by Aunt Fang.

“You’re too soft-hearted. Madam Xiao doesn’t beg Old Master Xiao and just visits you because she knows you’re soft-hearted. Will you still pity her?

“Old Madam, let me say something even though it may be out of line. Madam Xiao is not related to you. Back then, before she divorced the commander-in-chief, she treated you as a friend on the surface. You’ve kept that friendship in your heart for too long. It’s time to let it go.

“Little Six is all grown up now. In a few years, he’ll be 30 years old. He knows what he’s doing. There’s no need for you to worry about him. You can have a grandchild in peace. After Little Six marries his girlfriend, you should dote on your granddaughter-in-law. That’s the right thing to do.”

Aunt Fang had served the old madam her entire life. She was loyal and sensible. When she saw the old madam’s heart soften again and again, she felt anxious.

Now that she saw that the old madam seemed to have thought things through a little and the old master had given her a look to persuade her a little more, Aunt Fang would naturally do her best. She didn’t want her lady to suffer grievances!

Even now, Aunt Fang would sometimes call the old madam ‘Miss’.
Old Madam Xia walked slowly. She entered the house and lay on the old wicker rocking chair. She rocked back and forth while sighing. “Family peace is everything. Alas… Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Go to the front of the hall and help me pay attention to what happens. When she comes over, inform me about it.

“I’ll take an afternoon nap.”

Aunt Fang took out a small cotton cloth and covered the old madam’s waist and stomach with it. The cotton cloth only consisted of two thin layers. Then, she turned the fan down and left the room when she saw that the old madam was asleep.
