The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 831 Ch.830 Meeting
Granny Liu.

The young lady's maid.

That was all Yolanda introduced Roland to.

Roland could guess what the old woman with burn marks all over her body would say when she and her master boarded the ship that would never return. To Roland, everything in this land was so unfamiliar, including the relationship between family and servants.

But he had also seen Theresa and Randolph together.

In other words, this is an old servant who has experienced and served several generations of masters.

“…You guessed right, Roland.”

The old man hunched over and said he was going to get them some water. With Roland's consent, Halida quickly followed him.

Yolanda sat on the creaking bench and spoke softly:
"Before my young lady and I decided to go to your country, Granny Liu strongly opposed it..."

she says.

They survived the fire and should have lived a miserable life, trying to get by - at least for this old woman, she hoped that the master's only bloodline could survive, rather than being filled with hatred and embarking on a path from which there would be no turning back.

“…We settled her down and left overnight.”

Yolanda was a little sad.

She couldn't say whether the young lady and her actions were right or wrong, because the oncoming blood feud was unavoidable.

Even now, she couldn't say there was anything wrong with the decision.

"I'm not in a hurry to die this time when I come back."

Yolanda rubbed her face, a hint of pleading coming out from between her fingers.

…………

……

The old man, who had suffered a series of blows, seemed to be in better spirits after Yolanda came back.

Although she guessed that her lady didn't come back with her and probably went somewhere, at least Yolanda was standing in front of her in one piece - as an old man who was about to go into the coffin, what else could she hope for?
After Halida prepared a lunch herself, the old man's face looked much rosier.

She even drank two glasses of liquor and asked about Roland's marriage.

And who among these girls is his fiancée.

She hinted to Roland that Yolanda was a good girl, and if he waited until she died, he would be left alone - a good man should not let a girl down.

“…Mother-in-law.”

Yolanda's ears blushed, which was rare, and she pinched the old man's sleeve with her fingers.

The old man didn't care at all.

"At my age, the soil has already buried me here, here," she tapped her chin and nose, smiling with wrinkles on her face: "Alas... the difficulties in the past, child, are finally in the past. Remember it, but don't talk about it every day... Do you have to live like this?"

Yolanda was silent.

"I have cried my eyes out. I didn't see the young lady today. I knew what happened the moment I saw her. You must go with her? Can't you wait thirty or fifty years?"

"…Miss died in London."

Snapped.

The old man put down the wine cup, and a fierce look flashed in his fox-like eyes: "You ignorant person! Then hang yourself, and you will be hanged to death soon! I told you a long time ago! Women, women! Do you really have to die outside?"

Yolanda shrank her neck and said nothing.

I can tell.

She was very afraid of this 'Grandma Liu' - Roland thought, just like Randolph Taylor was sometimes afraid of Theresa?

It can't be said to be occasionally.

"Please rest assured that I will always be able to treat Yolanda well and kindly."

Roland stumbled as much as Halida when speaking the language he had just learned.

The old man didn't mind at all, and was even a little happy.

She asked Yolanda in detail about what happened, and when she heard her say that it was she who taught the man with golden eyes their language, her smile became even more obvious - what did this prove?
"Mr. Luo."

"…Laurent Collins, old lady."

"Yes, Mr. Ke," she narrowed her eyes and poured Roland a glass of liquor, "I will entrust this girl to you in the future." Roland drank the glass of "fiery" wine calmly and silently pushed the cup to Yolanda.

The old man laughed out loud.

"You foreigners are not used to drinking this. You should have brought half a pot of rice wine a long time ago."

"Mother-in-law," Yolanda said worriedly, "please come live somewhere else with us."

She persuaded him for half the meal, but the old man was stubborn and refused to leave.

"I've met a lot of people here, why should I go to that colorful place and be annoying? If you don't mind, just stay here for a few days..."

Roland didn't mind.

Anyway, it was much better than the environment in the workhouse - he had originally promised Yolanda to help.

And once he made the decision, Rose and Cinder would naturally not leave.

After dinner, the girls worked together to clean up the house, and soon they had made three small rooms that could accommodate guests.

During the conversation, they talked about the market and the old man showed great disdain.

She was holding a long wooden pipe, smacking her lips with only the skin left, and occasionally a wisp of white smoke came out from the corner of her mouth.

The thumb was stained with mud from pressing the tobacco paste.

Rose sat on a small stool with her knees hugged, her green eyes twinkling.

You can see that it is ointment.

But she said nothing.

"…A bunch of ignorant peasants. They coaxed the foreigners, but they didn't expect that the foreigners also coaxed them. They really thought they could get some great benefits…"

The old man muttered, sucking on his cigarette.

"I think after a few years, when there are foreigners everywhere, they won't be happy anymore."

Shandel gave her a surprised look.

The village women who were passing by with their children were used to the old man basking in the sun at the door after eating and drinking, but today was different.

"Mrs. Liu, do you have any foreign relatives?"

"My daughter's friend!" The old man grinned with his toothless mouth and gestured with his pipe: "All of them! All of them!"

“You are so lucky!”

"All of them! All of them!"

Some children recognized Roland, the generous young man in the port, and clamored around him for money, only to be dragged home by their mothers or sisters by their ears. The village women didn't understand why these wealthy and respectable people had to live in the village, in this dirty and damp mud house.

It was not until Granny Liu explained with a smile that they were doing it to take care of themselves that they sighed while holding the wooden basin: "These people actually have a conscience."

More than just conscience.

As time went on, they gradually discovered that the so-called "foreigners" were not as mysterious and scary as they had imagined.

Shandel.

The children all called her the gray-haired fairy sister. This girl who always wore a gentle smile was the most lovable, no matter children or adults - they all said that it was impossible to cultivate such a person if it was not a wealthy family.

Rose...

The children loved her, but the women in the village did not.

They whispered that she was immoral, dirty, and always wielded swords like a boy - Rose was put on the blacklist of these women after someone saw her helping Halida chop wood.

Halida didn't mention it.

Her color is not even within the scope of discussion.

As for Roland...

The women had mixed feelings about him—ever since a child came home and told them that he saw this Golden Eyes man get a piece of glass from somewhere, put it in the chicken coop, cover the chicken feed with the glass, and squat on the side watching the chickens knocking on the glass for half an hour without eating a single bite…

after that.

The looks they gave him became more and more complicated.
