章節 352: Task underway

In the ward.

The wife said, "Old man, what are you thinking about? What's troubling you?"

The old man replied, "It's nothing. It's just that I felt that that youngster was very strange so I was just thinking about it."

The wife was skinning an apple. Although her eyes couldn't see clearly, her movements were not slow. A little disappointment appeared on her wrinkle-covered face as she said, "Old man, I hope you don't hold anything against me in this lifetime. It was my fault that I couldn't give you a child. If we had had a child, perhaps our grandchildren would be seventeen or eighteen right now."

The old man chuckled. "What are you thinking about? You're the person I love and it has nothing to do with whether or not you can give me a child. Just being with you in this life has been worth it. What are you crying for? If you cry, you'll become ugly and other people will laugh at you."
