Rebirth in 1980: I pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger and marry the chief

Tang Zheng froze in his tracks. After a while, he said dryly, "Well, we can ask the servants to help squeeze it into juice, or make sugar..."

Mr. Yuan's face became even uglier. The housekeeper beside him said with some reluctance: "Mr. Yuan's blood sugar is a little high. He can't eat sweets. I'm afraid I'm letting you down..."

Tang Zheng smiled, but it looked like he was crying.

Originally, she wanted to bring some good things, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that even if she spent all her money, she might not be able to win the favor of the elder gentleman. A little leakage between his fingers might be enough to keep her busy for the rest of her life.

So, she took whatever she could get, but she didn't expect it to be so mean.

"Well, Mr. Elder, you can eat more mushrooms. Mushrooms are rich in nutrients, high in protein, and contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. Most importantly, they contain the amino acids that the human body needs. Moreover, these mushrooms can increase appetite, detoxify, relieve constipation, and calm pain..."

Tang Zheng's throat was dry from what he said, and he then noticed that the elder had been staring at her for a long time with an unsatisfied look on his face.

The housekeeper at the side sighed: "The old man is allergic to all fungi and never dares to touch mushrooms."

Tang Zheng: "..."

The elder sneered, "After saying so much, if you don't know, you might think you gave me some kind of delicacy. When people gave me ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, they didn't praise me like you do."

Tang Zheng was so embarrassed that she wished she could dig out a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with her toes. She turned her head and suddenly glared at Xiao Beiqi fiercely.

When she first said that she would take these things as a gift to the elder gentleman, Xiao Beiqi didn't say a word and didn't even try to persuade her, otherwise she wouldn't have come here to embarrass herself.

Xiao Beiqi also didn't expect that the elder gentleman would be so cruel to Tang Zheng. What could he do?

"Why don't you take your great grandfather's measurements and make him some clothes."

Tang Zheng finally regained his confidence: "Mr. Yuanlao, don't worry, the clothes I designed will definitely satisfy you."

Suddenly, when Mr. Yuanlao pulled in his fishing rod, he saw a fat crucian carp hanging on the hook.

Tang Zheng's face lit up: "This fish is too fat, it will be delicious if grilled or stewed!"

The elder gentleman looked indifferent as he took the fish off the hook and threw it back into the lake.

The housekeeper said: "Now the elder is observing the ten fasts. Today is the eighth day of the lunar month. The old man is eating vegetarian food."

Tang Zheng: "..."

Well, she came here today just to cause trouble for Mr. Yuan.

"How much does it cost to make a set of clothes?"

The elder gentleman suddenly asked this question, leaving Tang Zheng confused.

"Oh, ah... I'm sure you won't be charged a penny for making the clothes. Just think of it as a gift from us, the younger generation, to you."

The elder's expression eased a little, and he threw away the fishing rod and said, "Let's go in and sit down."

It was such a big villa, but the decoration inside was surprisingly simple. There was even an earthen kang in the huge living room. Tang Zheng almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Sit anywhere."

The elder gentleman sat on the edge of the kang and made tea himself.

Xiao Beiqi, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face, as if he was used to it.

Throughout the whole process, Tang Zheng just stared at the elder man's smooth tea-making movements without saying a word.

In this situation, if she said one more word, she would be worried about causing more trouble to the elder gentleman.

"Taste it."

The elder gentleman handed the teacup to Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng quickly reached out for it.

"She is pregnant and should not drink tea."

After Xiao Beiqizi said this, the elder gentleman still had his hand raised in the air, waiting for Tang Zheng to reach out and take it.

Tang Zheng definitely had no hesitation. Although she was pregnant, she would not be affected if she drank less.

However, Xiao Beiqi took it first: "I'll drink it for her."

The elder gentleman sneered: "This is green tea. She should drink less. It's good for her health."

Xiao Beiqi paused while drinking his tea and glanced at Tang Zheng: "That won't work either."

Tang Zheng was a little worried about Xiao Beiqi. After all, Mr. Yuan was a man of status. Would Mr. Yuan dislike him for not giving him face?

Tang Zheng smiled awkwardly and quickly made an excuse: "My fetus was unstable a few days ago, and the doctor told me not to drink tea. He remembered it. He was just a little fussy. Don't bother with him."

The elder drank a sip of tea, but he didn't seem angry. Instead, he joked, "Boy, you have to know the limit when loving your wife. It's not good to be afraid of everything."

Xiao Beiqi nodded: "You are right."

The elder chatted with Xiao Beiqi for a while, and Tang Zheng sat aside and ate fruit.

As expected, it was the fruit from the house of the richest man, the elder. She had never seen it in this life, let alone in her last life.

In just ten minutes, Tang Zheng finished all the fruits on the table. Seeing this, the butler quickly asked someone to serve another table.

Seeing Tang Zheng's belly getting bigger from eating so much, Xiao Beiqi could only say goodbye: "Great grandfather, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

The elder gentleman looked at Tang Zheng's useless appearance and didn't know what to say.

"Give her some extra decorations to take away."

Tang Zheng chuckled, then he remembered the important matter: "I'll measure your size and make you two sets of clothes."

Xiao Beiqi was helping to pack the fruit while Tang Zheng took a tape measure to measure the elder gentleman's size.

"You said, my son is gone, is my grandson still alive?"

Tang Zheng paused while taking notes, looked at the elder in surprise, and met his meaningful gaze.

The elder gentleman's voice was very low, and even though Xiao Beiqi noticed it, he didn't hear clearly what was said and thought it was just an ordinary conversation.

Even though Tang Zheng didn't say anything, the elder's eyes already showed understanding.

Tang Zheng was even more panicked, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

The elder gentleman kept staring at her, as if waiting for a satisfactory answer from her.

Tang Zheng was very confused. She shouldn't have said too much when she first met Mr. Yuan.

"You'd better clear out the people around you first."

The elder was stunned, as if he understood the deep meaning of Tang Zheng's words.

After leaving the Yuan family, Tang Zheng was a little absent-minded.

If she no longer had any interaction with Mr. Yuan, she could ignore his affairs. But in this situation, and with Mr. Yuan taking the initiative to ask about it, how could she not tell him?
