Feast of Flowers

Chapter 43: Turning Green

Upon hearing Yang Shao's teasing, Pei Yan frowned, gripping the mouse without saying a word.

At Tan Yuan's house, Hua Jin finished drinking Gao Shulan's chicken soup and comfortably lay on the sofa. Seeing Tan Qing bringing over a large bowl of fruits, she couldn't help but remark, "Uncle Tan, Aunt Gao, you're not raising an apprentice, you're raising a pig."

"No pig looks like you, all eating but not gaining weight. You would have been slaughtered long ago," Gao Shulan pushed her reading glasses up her nose. Due to excessive eye use in her earlier years, despite being not yet sixty, her eyesight wasn't as good as before. "I see you've been losing weight recently. Is work keeping you too busy?"

"It's alright, not too busy," Hua Jin said while thinking that Tan Qing treated her like a pig, but his hands were quite sincere. Unable to resist, she took a piece of melon with her fork and put it into her mouth.

"You're still young, take care of your health," Gao Shulan turned on the television. The program playing was a daily news program on social issues, which she usually watched.

For example, there was a story about a burst water pipe in someone's house, and the downstairs neighbors demanding compensation. Or the story of a fight between neighbors because someone picked flowers from another's garden.

Today's episode was equally fascinating. It was about an elderly person scratching a luxury car, and the owner of the car, being kind-hearted, refused to accept any compensation. However, the elderly person became angry, feeling that the car owner looked down on him and insisted on making reparations, leading to the incident making the news.

"I've seen news about luxury cars bullying people, and I've seen people who don't follow traffic rules and refuse to compensate after crashing into someone else's car, claiming to be poor. But I've never seen anything like this," Gao Shulan watched with relish as the old man on the TV slapped a stack of money on the table. Unable to hold back her admiration, she said, "Hua Hua, let me tell you, this program is particularly interesting. The people in it are so amusing. But a kind-hearted luxury car owner like this is truly rare."
