Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 707: Chapter 708: My Grandson is Great

Old Tang still brought up that incident from years ago from time to time.

It’s just that his son had fallen ill, and his daughter-in-law had passed away, leaving only his grandson to single-handedly uphold the family; their days were like walking on thin ice, with no energy left to search for Chiang Songhai.

Initially, they didn’t even know Chiang Songhai’s name. Recently, Meng Xinian had found Chiang Songhai for them, but the Tang family had so many things going on that he hadn’t had a chance to explain it to Old Tang.

”Little lady, which part of G Province are you from?”

As expected, the moment she mentioned G Province, Old Tang’s spirits lifted.

Chiang Xiao glanced at Old Meng, who had given a slight nod, and she immediately understood. Her grandfather had once said that he had helped save several people, including Old Tang.

”Grandpa Tang, I’m from Peace Town.”

Old Tang suddenly jumped to his feet, ”From Peace Town? Surnamed Chiang?” He whirled towards Chiang Songhai, ”Old Meng, Old Meng, this...”

”That’s right, just like you’re thinking, the granddaughter of that old fellow who delivered the medicine back then is Xiao Chiang,” Old Meng said, somewhat proudly.

He had chosen Chiang Songhai for his character, so on a whim, he had arranged a childhood marriage agreement between his grandson and the man’s granddaughter. Now it seemed he had been quite prescient. Chiang Xiao was an impressive young woman; just looking at how fiercely she had defended Xinian, and how calmly she had faced the people from the Fong family, she truly was an excellent girl.

As for Chiang Xiao bringing Fong Jianye back to consciousness, Old Meng didn’t doubt it one bit.

The medicine Chiang Songhai had provided back then had saved so many lives that Old Meng naturally assumed Chiang Songhai must have acquired some new remedies over the years!

So, wouldn’t this granddaughter-in-law be much better than any other girl’s family background?

Upon hearing Old Meng confirm it, Old Tang grabbed Chiang Xiao’s hand, teary-eyed, repeatedly saying, ”Found you, found you!”

At that moment, he felt deeply ashamed; they had just been inquiring about her family background!

He had allowed years in Capital City to wear down his resolve, leaving only the dregs in his heart, filled with guilt and shame.

”Xiao Chiang, is your grandfather still alive?”

”He is, and he’s still in good health,” Chiang Xiao said, looking at Old Tang’s silver hair and thinking to herself that her grandfather was actually growing younger, almost like a middle-aged strong man.

”That’s good, that’s good. So, are you here to honor the jest of a child marriage agreement Old Meng made all those years ago? How old are you this year?” Now, Old Tang was clearly much warmer in speaking with Chiang Xiao than before.

”...Thirteen,” Chiang Xiao said, glancing at Meng Xinian.

Meng Xinian straightened his face and held up two fingers.

Twenty, he’s twenty, not twenty-three or four.

Isn’t it just a seven-year gap?

What about seven years?

Old Tang was already looking his way, ”Old Meng, how old is Xinian this year? Is he twenty-five yet?”

Meng Xinian: ”...”

If he cursed, would these old men band together and slaughter him?

Before Old Meng could speak, Old Tang went on, shaking his head, ”This age gap is too big, it’s not good for Xinian, and not good for Xiao Chiang either. Old Meng, you can’t bully Xiao Chiang like this. Here’s what we’ll do, Xiao Chiang, my grandson is only seventeen this year! I think he’s far more suitable for you! What do you say? After we eat, Grandpa Tang will take you to our place. Today is the weekend, right? My grandson isn’t at school, he’s at home. I’ll introduce you to him! Seventeen and thirteen, just a four-year gap, perfect, just perfect!”
