Chapter 168
The next day, Tang Jialin and Xu Long watched the filming material together, seeing Grandma Chen wiping her tears and saying this, they still couldn't help sighing together.

"Where he says I am, there he is." The white-haired grandma Chen wiped her tears with one hand and pressed the photo album with the other. The back of her bony hand was full of wrinkles and spots, "If I don't want to go, I won't go. Go find his uncle to help us officiate the marriage."

Uncle Wei Mingshu felt that he was ruining his own future, and refused to agree. He also said that there is no grass anywhere in the world, and he went to Nanyang. With Wei Mingshu's talent and appearance, it would be easy for him to marry a rich family.

Grandma Chen secretly followed Wei Mingshu and heard these words clearly.

"Brother Ming said that our family's kindness to him is as great as a mountain. His mother's medical treatment, medicine, funeral and burial are all supported by my family. He can't be that kind of ungrateful villain. After hearing this, I thought he was just because My family's kindness is why you want to marry me..."

Grandma Chen shed tears again, "I told my father and agreed to withdraw."

Seeing this, Xu Long pressed pause and said to Tang Jialin, "I don't understand, doesn't Grandma Chen know that they are in love?"

"Their kindness and love are mixed together, and sometimes it is really difficult to distinguish. And I can't blame Grandma Chen. I think Wei Mingshu told his uncle that way on purpose, because people in their era, kindness and righteousness are greater than love." Personal relationship, emphasizing that the Chen family is kind to him, it will be easier to convince his uncle."

Xu Long still didn't quite understand: "Is it a traditional Chinese concept?"

"Yes, just like what his uncle said, people in the past believed that a man should not focus on personal relationships, and the most important thing is to make achievements and get ahead."

"I see."

The two continued to look down, and Wei Mingshu's uncle took more money to Grandma Chen's father, persuading him that there were several children in the family, especially the boy, who was also at the age of marrying a wife. The sons handle the marriages.

Grandma Chen's father was completely shaken and agreed to withdraw. Wei Mingshu didn't want to believe it, so he knelt down and begged.

In the end, Uncle Wei Mingshu came to take him away, and the couple never heard from each other again.

Two years later, Grandma Chen was forced to marry by her family. Her husband was a worker. They had two children who died before they could raise them.

Her husband was an alcoholic and died of liver disease when he was less than 50 years old. Grandma Chen never remarried and lived alone.

"Do you think Wei Mingshu is still alive?" Xu Long asked.

Grandma Chen???s grand-nephew Wang Yilan said that in the past few years, she has helped her aunt search for the name Wei Mingshu on the Internet, but she found nothing. As for Wei Mingshu???s uncle, Grandma Chen didn???t know his name, only Wu. Can't even search.

Tang Jialin shook her head: "The hope is very slim. But we can try to search on the Internet. Before, Sister Wang only searched on the Chinese Internet. It is not surprising that she couldn't find relevant information."

Moreover, when the names of the Chinese in Nanyang are translated into English, they may be different from those in China. It is not the Chinese pinyin, which makes the search more difficult.

"We edited the video and posted it on the Internet, and we can ask the majority of netizens to help search, maybe there will be clues."

"Okay, let's get started then."

Tang Jialin and Xu Long had a division of labor with He Yuechen and the others yesterday. Everyone edited according to the discussed script, and held an online meeting if they had any questions. They were so busy until Sunday night that they already had a rough cut version.

"Let's rest first, change your mind, and then come back and read it again." Tang Jialin said.

"Okay." Xu Long glanced at the time, "I'm hungry, go eat, what do you want to eat?"

Tang Jialin picked up her phone and found that there was an unread WeChat message. She clicked on it and said, "Let's go to the store to eat."

Xu Long was sitting next to her, watching her open a group chat dialog box, scroll through unread messages, and knowing that he shouldn't peek, he stood up and closed the computer.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the voice of Tang Jialin's ex-husband came: "I don't take off until 10 o'clock tomorrow night. If you go tomorrow, I can go with you."

Xu Long lowered his head, just in time to see Tang Jialin frantically pressing the volume buttons.

"Uh, I'm going to see the location of the store." Tang Jialin and Xu Long looked at each other and subconsciously explained, "Aren't we going to open a coffee shop?"

"Oh, are you going to see it tomorrow?"

"I haven't made an appointment yet." Tang Jialin also put away her things, "Let's go eat first."

The two of them left her house and drove to the neighborhood of Acacia. During dinner, Tang Jialin looked through the chat records and said to Xu Long: "We have a partner who is still on the plane back. He has to go back to the company to resign tomorrow. He should I don???t have time to see the store site. I???ll finish editing the video tomorrow.???

"Do you want to send it to Sister Wang?" Xu Long felt relieved when he heard that she was not going.

"Okay, you can send it to her and ask her opinion."

This Sister Wang Yilan is the granddaughter of Grandma Chen's younger brother. Grandma Chen lived with her for several years after her husband passed away.

After dinner, Xu Long went back to Grandma Pang's house, contacted Wang Yilan, and sent the rough cut version.

On Monday morning, he came to the store with a schoolbag on his back and sent Wang Yilan's comments to the group. Everyone held an online meeting, then edited and deleted, and cut out another version in the afternoon.

"This version is much better than before." Tang Jialin let out a sigh of relief, "I think it's okay."

Xu Long also felt the same way, he and He Yuechen had to do the rest of the post-work together, "Then I'll go back to school first."

"Okay, what's the matter?" Tang Jialin said.

Xu Long nodded: "It's done, I'll send it to you first."

Tang Jialin waved her hand and watched him leave.

Cao Xuan leaned over from behind: "Is it over?"

"Well, it's almost there." Tang Jialin turned around and walked to the back kitchen, "Actually, the other things are fine, but the story of Grandma Chen is so embarrassing. No matter how many times I read it, I still feel depressed."

"Yeah, a farewell is a forever farewell." Cao Xuan was also very emotional, "Especially in that era, the transportation was inconvenient, and it was too easy to lose contact."

Tang Jialin entered the back kitchen, stretched first, then picked up her phone, and found Yu Lang's WeChat message: "Are you still busy?"

She replied: "I just finished my work, what's the matter?"

Yu Lang: "It's nothing, I wanted to go to the store to see you, but now it's too late."

"..." What?Just after discussing the story of Grandma Chen, Tang Jialin was a little sensitive to this sentence, and couldn't help but glance at the time. It was past four in the afternoon, and the plane at ten in the evening was still early, wasn't it?

She couldn't help asking: "Where are you?"

Yu Lang: "I've already joined Cui Ruopeng, and the friends who we're hooked up with will fly over together, and we'll have a meal together first."

Tang Jialin thought for a while and replied: "Okay. Let me know when we board the plane."
