Chapter 45: Nothing for Nothing

Sima Shu's grandmother dragged Zhou Jiaosheng hard, and she would never stop until she was invited, first, she was really lonely, and it was rare to be able to talk to Zhou Jin. Second, I really like Zhou Jin, and I hope she will be my granddaughter-in-law and pursue Zhou Jin for Sima Shu.

Zhou Jin really couldn't resist the old lady's "rogue" invitation, so he had to agree, and after getting off work in the evening, he would definitely go to the appointment.

"Okay, I can't go back, I'll wait for you at home after I've made a meal", the old lady told again uneasily.

Zhou Yao was full of promises, but because she had been busy all day, she neglected this matter, and when she got off work, she saw Ma Ruozhu's assistant who was smiling at her at the door of the office, and she remembered.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Yao thought that he should bring some gifts to the old lady, he was so busy that he forgot to buy it at this time, he was in a hurry, and he didn't know if he could buy something sweet.

"Can you please stop the car?"

Zhou Jin said to the assistant, who replied: "Okay", and then pulled over to the side of the road.

After Zhou Jin got out of the car, he went to a pharmacy and bought a bottle of safflower oil. She is going to do a massage for the old lady, which is a gift for the elderly.

Although I am not rich, I can't visit the old man empty-handed every time and bring other gifts, because I don't like it easily with the wealth and knowledge of the old man.

And the old man should gladly accept his own heart.

Sure enough, when Zhou Jia gave Sima Shu's grandmother this bottle of safflower oil, the old lady was very happy. She took out a stone and said to Zhou Yao: "Child, you can help me make a gua sha, my shoulders and back are a little wrinkled."

"Okay", Zhou Yao took the stone, glanced at it, and said secretly: It is really a rich family, and even the stone used for scraping is also of the highest quality.

"It's time to eat", as Sima Shu shouted, Zhou Yao, who was helping the old lady who had finished gua sha therapy to get dressed, was a little surprised.

She didn't know that Sima Shu would be there, and she didn't know that Sima Shu actually cooked in person. Looking at Sima Shu with an apron, Zhou Yao had mixed feelings in his heart.

If you go, it's not good to sweep away the old man's interest, and if you don't go, you will get along with Sima Shu, which is a little embarrassing.

Sima Shu's grandmother, still maintaining the shrewdness of her youth, took Zhou Yao's hand and said, "Good boy, sit down, let's eat."

Grandma pressed Zhou Yao next to Sima Shu, it was really deliberate!

After Sima Shu sat down, he sandwiched a piece of mutton bone and gave it to Zhou Yao, and said, "You taste it, this is the spicy stir-fry I specially made for you, which has a taste but is not too spicy."

"Thank you", Zhou Jin thanked him, both polite and detached.

Sima Shu wanted to speak and stopped, sighed lightly, but finally did not speak, so anxious that the old lady signaled him with her eyes several times, but he still refused to make a sound, only eating with his head bored.

Zhou Jin pretended not to know, and ate a meal silently. The old lady was impatient in this dreary atmosphere. After dinner, she decided to go out herself.

The old lady took out an old box from the safe, and the carvings on the outside of the box exuded an ancient atmosphere. It seems that it has been passed down for several generations.

Zhou Yao watched the old lady open the box and take out a luminous cup from it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Could it be that this is the 'touching' emerald green, the 'goose yellow down' and the rich luminous cup 'lotus root full of ponds' recorded in ancient books?"

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good boy, you actually know the goods!"

Zhou Jia replied: "I have only seen such descriptions in books, but now I have seen the real thing and opened my eyes."

"To you"!

"Give it to me?"

Zhou Yao almost thought that her ears were hallucinating, and she gave it to herself lightly.

Sima Shu's grandmother said: "This is my dowry, I like it very much, when Yangyang's mother got married, I was not willing to give it to her."

Zhou Yao asked, "Then why did you give it to me?"

"Of course there are conditions," said the old lady slyly.

Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, if he really had to pay something, as long as he didn't get it for nothing, at least he wouldn't have a guilty conscience!

"You marry Yangyang and be my daughter-in-law, and this will be given to you."

Zhou Jin categorically refused: "No"!
