Chapter 377 The Old Lady Who Grows Flowers
Chapter 377 The Old Lady Who Grows Flowers The old lady was born in a time of turmoil and was a daughter of a wealthy family. She and her husband had known each other since they were children.
However, it was difficult for people to live a peaceful life in those days. Shortly after she got married, her family suffered great changes. Their city was under fire attack. And nearly half of her family was injured or killed. After that, the couple moved from city to city before settling down.
Later, her husband joined the army. When her husband was leaving, he placed her in a relatively safe mountain village. He knew that his wife liked to grow flowers, so he gave her some flower seeds and made this promise.
If she missed him later, she would plant a seed every month. When she finished planting the seeds, then he would come back. In fact, she knew it was just a placebo. In those troubled times, men were fighting on the battlefield and could be killed at any time.
However, the couple did not break it to each other tacitly. One put the national interest in first place, while the other had a sense of hope. Then, they parted reluctantly.
From that time on, the old lady planted a seed of flowers every month as they had agreed. Every day. she would hold these flowers and sit with her only son in front of the courtyard waiting for her husband's return.
When the turmoil ended, her son grew up, but she still did not wait for her husband's return.
Even as she sat in front of the house many times taking a nap, she would dream of a man in a long coat coming toward her, just like how her husband looked when he left her.
When she woke up from her dream, all she could see was the empty alley and the delicate flowers behind her, making her look even sadder and more lonely.
When her son grew up, he went out of town to study and work. Then the only one left to wait with her for her husband was this big black dog "I don't know when he's going to come back. I've planted so many flowers, but why hasn't he come back for me?"
The ald lady seemed to be asking Martin or herself. Then, her eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes.
In fact, the others knew that her husband was probably no longer alive in this world.
However, she had an expectation and did not want to believe it. Even now, she was still waiting for her husband to return.
After a moment of silence, Martin said, "Maybe, if you wait a little longer, he'll come back.”
The ald lady had been waiting for her husband to come back home all her life. If Martin had cruelly revealed this fact, the old lady might have lost her hope of living
Nancy stood on her toes and used a soft tissue to wipe the old lady's tears from the comers of her eyes. "If your husband came back and saw you still taking care of the flowers, he would be very happy." Nancy's innocent and childish words made the old lady feel much better.
Then, the old lady took Nancy's small and soft hand. A wistful look showed in her eyes. She said, "Yes. He used to say that the flowers that I have planted were the most beautiful ones.”
By now, the viewers in his live stream were crying out loud and touched by the old lady's story.
"Boohoo! Beohoo! ... I'm gaing to cry my eyes out. There were many beautiful and tragic love stories in those days." "The old lady's husband should have died. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back for her.”
"I'm so heartwrenching. I'm only watching a variety show, but why does it make me cry?"
"I believe in love again. How happy it would be for a man who can keep this old lady waiting all his life!”
"She took care of their flowers. No wonder she doesn't lend flowers to others. If it were me, I wouldn't either."
Fortunately, these viewers didn't know what stupid things Eileen had done to borrow flowers from this old lady and after she failed. Otherwise, they would have cursed Eileen.
After hearing the old lady's story, Isaac had a rare moment of silence. Then, he told everyone, “When the show airs, leave the footage of Eileen intact!"
Eileen led her fans to curse the old lady. When the show aired, Eileen would probably get a slap in the face.
"Isaac, Eileen's agent just called and asked us to delete that clip when we edit."
Isaac took a drag from his cigarette. Then he smiled and said, "Who the hell does she think she is?"
He was in charge of the show. Not only did he want to do the old lady justice, but he would not delete such a sensational clip. The old lady's yard had very little place for planting vegetables because she used mest of the field to plant flowers. However, there were some vegetables growing in the yard, which were well taken care of.
"I still have potatoes at home. Do you want them?”
"Veg!"
They obtainecNhree large eggplants, one cabbage three cucumbers, and two largepetatoes. These = vegetables were enough for them to eat. However, the old lady didnt haveany meat, so they had to go
elsewhere to look. Content be ongs

"Go to the third family in the front. They have the best chickens at home. Go check it out.” "Madam, how much are these?”
The old lady waved her hand and said, “You don't have toe pay me. I'm so glad to talk to you today."
These stores had been lingering on. her mingdYor along time. And she~ became moodier. At this point.she felt much better after she could find a. few people to talk to. ~
"No. Madam, we are shooting a show. If you don’t take the money, the director will be furious. We have to respect him as an elder.” Isaac, who was drinking tea, spat the tea he had just drank once he heard Nancy's words. Then, he pointed at himself in disbelief. "Do I look old?"
The people around him remained calm and did not say anything
However, the viewers of the live stream were already laughing out loud.
“Hahahaha... Nancy dares to say anything! Is she really not afraid that the director will give her a hard time?”
"Look how understanding Nancy is. Look how compassionate she is to the old lady.”
"LOL! Isaac must be in a very bad mood. After all, Nancy said he was old.”
In the end, the old lady received 50 cents in resignation.
When Nancy and Martin were leaving, the old lady called out to Nancy and said, "Nancy, come here to play if you have time.” Nancy turned around and smiled at the old lady. She looked very cute and well-behaved.
“Okay.”
As they walked out of the old lady's yard, Lucky wagged his tail and started whining as he rubbed against the old lady's leg. Madam stroked the big dog's head and said, "Do you like Nancy so much?"
"Woof! Woof!"
The big black dog wagged its tail happily.
"Go on! Come back early."
Then, the big black dog immediately ran to Nancy with his tail wagging. And there was a look of joy in its dark eyes.
Nancy stroked the big dog’s head and said, “Lucky, do you want to go play with me? Madam, we are leaving. My brother and I will bring Lucky back."
Lucky looked very imposing. He was a large dog and was even a little taller than Nancy. When he stood in front of a man, the man would feel some pressure.
It was just that the name Lucky didn't seem to fit with the big dog
If it were other children, they would have been scared away by this big dog. However, Nancy did not feel scared at all. After all, she had ridden big tigers before!
Soon, Martin and Nancy came to the home of the good chicken breeder mentioned by the old lady. The owner was very welcoming to them and recognized Lucky.
Then the owner said with some Surprise, “Eucky is very arrogant! ~ Even if Someone gives him food; he won't-eat any of it, let alone go- with someone else. I didn't expecDhim to follow you."
Nancy puffed up her little chest proudly and said, "Lucky likes me. And I like Lucky too!"
"Woof!" The big dog responded to Nancy.
