"Old Bone"'s surname is Gu. He used to be the manager of the An family kitchen. He is an excellent cook, especially bone soup, which is so delicious. Therefore, people who are close to him call him Old Bone.

However, when the An family was going to Xiangcheng, "Old Bone" was unwilling to leave his hometown, so he resigned. Old Mrs. An was not the kind of person who would force others, so she agreed to "Old Bone"'s request and gave him a lot of extra severance pay. But after going to Xiangcheng, although there were countless delicious foods in Xiangcheng and there were skilled chefs at home, Old Mrs. An often missed the meals made by "Old Bone".

However, she has not returned to Xiyuan County in these years and has not been able to eat the meals cooked by "Old Bones" again.

Now, it is unexpected that the chef of this state-owned restaurant in Xiyuan County has some of the flavor of "Old Bones" in his cooking skills. Of course, this is definitely not the cooking of "Old Bones", but Mrs. An is sure that this chef must have some relationship with "Old Bones".

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. An sighed softly. She didn't know how "Old Bones" had been doing over the years. Under normal circumstances, the severance pay she had given to "Old Bones" should have been enough for "Old Bones" and his family to live a rich life over the years.

"Old lady." Looking at Old Lady An's emotional expression.

"Go and ask about Old Bone's residence. Now that you're back, you can go and meet him." Old Mrs. An said softly. Xiyuan County has long since changed and there are very few people who know the An family and recognize her. Although "Old Bone" was a hired worker of the An family back then, he was also an old acquaintance.

"Okay." Mother Lin nodded quickly.

After dinner, Old Lady An took Aunt Lin to Hongji Hall. When they arrived, they had already found out that Old Man Gong was in Hongji Hall.

"Hello, are you here to buy medicine?" A young man behind the counter asked when he saw Mrs. An and Aunt Lin enter Hongjitang.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Gong here?" Mother Lin asked.

"Oh, you're looking for Master Gong." The young man smiled and said, "Wait a moment, Master Gong is drying medicine in the back. I'll go call him."

"Good work."

When he heard someone was looking for him, Mr. Gong thought it was someone he had treated before who was looking for him again, so he came to the lobby. When he saw Mrs. An for the first time, he didn't recognize her. After all, he hadn't seen her for more than 30 years. "Excuse me, who are you?"

Old Madam An recognized Old Master Gong at a glance. She couldn't help but sighed softly and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

As soon as he heard Mrs. An's voice, Mr. Gong knew who was in front of him. His face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Since we haven't seen each other for a long time, there is no need to see each other again. Please go back."

Having said that, Mr. Gong turned around and went back to the backyard.

When Mrs. An saw you, she said quickly, "It was my An family that let you down. I have always felt very guilty about that. But today I have come from afar, can't we just reminisce as old friends?"

"Do you think there is any history between me and your An family?" Old Master Gong said coldly, "I was careless in choosing friends back then. I admit it, but please don't disturb my peace."

After saying this, Mr. Gong was about to leave.

Seeing this, Mrs. An hurriedly called out, "Cousin, can you leave the An family behind and just treat us as cousins ​​and reminisce about the past?"

Mr. Gong paused, turned to look at Mrs. An, and whispered, "Come to the backyard."

Seeing that Mr. Gong had relented, Mrs. An couldn't help but smile slightly, and hurriedly supported Mother Lin and followed Mr. Gong to the backyard.

After both parties sat down, Mr. Gong poured a cup of tea for Mrs. An and then said nothing.

Old Mrs. An sighed softly, "Cousin, what Yiliang did to you back then..."

"Stop." Before Mrs. An could finish, Mr. Gong waved his hand and said, "Today, if you tell me about your relationship as cousins, I can accept it for now, but don't mention that treacherous guy. You were kept in the dark about what happened back then, so I won't blame you, but I will never forgive the An family in my life."

After that, Mr. Gong looked at Mrs. An and said, "Yunjuan, the reason you can still sit opposite me is only because you are my cousin, and the An family has nothing to do with you."

"Okay. Let's not talk about it." Old Madam An sighed, "But, I still want to say sorry to you. Even Yiliang regrets what happened back then."

"Oh, I regret it. I regret that I didn't see that old guy come to me in person to kneel down and apologize?" Old Master Gong snorted coldly.

"He can't come." Old Mrs. An said lightly: "Now he is unconscious and has been lying in bed. It is even unknown whether he can wake up."

"Humph, retribution." Hearing what Old Lady An said, Old Master Gong sneered, took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and said, "After hearing this news, I think the taste of this tea has improved a lot."

Old Madam An knew that Old Man Gong was resentful of the An family, so she just smiled faintly at his gloating words.

Mr. Gong glanced at Mrs. An and said, "Why, was it your grandson who informed you that I was here?"

It had been less than two years since he returned to Xiyuan County. At the time, the An family knew that he had left Xiyuan County and went far away. They would never have guessed that he would come back unless someone told Old Mrs. An.

"No." Mrs. An shook her head.

"Hmph, I don't believe it." Old Master Gong said coldly, "Your grandson's people have approached me several times, both openly and secretly. If he didn't tell you, then who told you? He just wants you to be a lobbyist. Let me go treat him."

Old Mrs. An sighed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, it really wasn't my grandson who told me. To be honest, my grandson in Xiyuan County is eager to draw a line with the An family and sever ties. Even if I want to show him some care, he won't accept it. How can he let me help him persuade you?"

"Oh?" Mr. Gong really didn't know about this. He had also wondered before, why did the young master of the An family not enjoy the glory and wealth in Xiangcheng, but returned to Xiyuan County. It turned out that there was a hidden story. He curled his lips and said, "You grandparents are such a failure that even your own grandson refuses to recognize you."

Old Madam An sighed softly, but did not tell what happened in the An family. After all, it would be embarrassing to tell it out loud. She sighed and said to Old Master Gong, "I know you are still in Xiyuan County through other channels. Although I didn't come to you on purpose this time, I actually want to ask you to let Zhihan take a look for the sake of our cousins."
