Chapter 1683
It was also a coincidence that when the olddy was looking for someone to marry, a
newly retired middle school teacher in this suburban town, who had been widowed for
many years, also wanted to look for a partner as his children had already started their
own family. The two of them hit it off with each other at once. The olddy then
brought her grandson along with her and married Neo Dixon.
However, she only found out that it was not as easy as imagined after she had been
married to him. Once they were married, Neo made a few rules for her to follow. “I can
give you the money to buy form powder for your grandson every month, but that is
all. This was also because I pitied you, but you can’t push your luck. Once your son is
released, your grandson has to be sent away.”
The olddy already had no ce to return to at that time, so it was already not bad to
have a roof over her head. She then nodded in agreement to whatever Neo said. She
said cautiously, “Thank you. Thank you for giving my grandson and myself a ce to
stay.”
“You have to know that you’re very honored for an illiterate woman like you to be able
to marry an intellectual like me. This is your house from now on. You have to take
more and better care of it!” ordered Neo.
The olddy immediately nodded. “I am best at taking care of the house. I’ll certainly
make sure you’re satisfied.”
With such a brief exchange, the two then went and got their marriage certificate the
next day. They were then considered officially married. After they got married, she
was responsible for all household chores and taking care of everything in the old
man’s life. The olddy was only forty- five years old at that time, so she was still
capable in a certain aspect. Therefore, from time to time, the two people would still
have sex several times a month.
At first, the old man was not very satisfied with her, and he did not like the food she
cooked. After about two years of training by the old man, the food that the olddy
cooked met the old man’s taste. The old man was then very nourished. However, he
only gave a maximum of three hundred dors for the olddy to buy form powder
for her grandson every month. Never mind buying clothes or diapers, the olddy
could not even take out a single penny to spend on groceries and other expenditures
on a usual basis. That was because the old man had kept a close watch on this

aspect. Even purchasing a single packet of salt needed to be recorded. From time to
time when the children return home, they would also take turns to check on the old
was nothing she could do. After all, she needed to raise her grandson.
The clothes that her grandson wore growing up were all picked up from the neighbors.
When she asked the old man for money to send her grandson to kindergarten, the old
man would refused to give her. With resignation, the olddy could only do some odd
jobs outside while maintaining all the household chores every day. She would also
pick up the empty bottles on the roadside when she saw them sometimes. It was
fortunate that the tuition fee for the public kindergarten was not much. It was only a
few hundred dors a year, so the olddy managed to save enough quickly.
As she was working some odd jobs outside, she could save a few hundred dors
from time to time, so she felt secure. She did not think about other things, she only
thought about raising her grandson. Therefore, all the money that she had saved up
was to pay for her grandson’s tuition fee. ''
Ten years had gone by just like that. The old man got older, his health was not as
good as before anymore, so he needed the olddy to put in all her effort in taking
care of him. That meant that the olddy could not do the odd job outside anymore.
The old man thenshed out at the olddy. “I am your husband! Your husband! All
that you have eaten and drank were mine, and you have stayed in my house for ten
years, even your grandson also stayed here. How dare you not take care of me? Do
you even have a conscience?”
The olddy then said helplessly, “I didn’t say that I’m not taking care of you. My
grandson has to go to school, so I have to work three hours a day. It would not
interfere with taking care of you.”
“Two options. You eithere back or get lost!” The old man kicked the olddy.
Hence, the olddy had no choice but to leave her job. However, what she didn’t
expect was that when her grandson’s school term was about to start and needed
tuition money, the old man actually refused to give her a single penny. He even
cursed at her. “I have no obligation to raise your grandson!”
