Chapter 178: Guess Who

Back home, the living room was dark without lights turned on, and Guanglin circled around but did not see Qin's Mom, she must have gone out for a stroll again.

Older people always like to go out for a walk, even if they do nothing, just sitting by the street on a small stool with neighbors to enjoy the cool air and gossip—it's more comfortable than staying home alone. This is how all the neighborhood gossip gets passed around.

Someone's couple had a fight, someone's kid scored first in class, someone earned money outside and didn't return home but spent it on another woman—there was always fresh news or stale gossip to retell when there was none. Maybe that was the fun of gathering together.

Sometimes they would discuss historical facts and myths, like how many lovers Wu Zetian had, how many people Bao Zhen's executioner's blade had chopped, and whether Qin Qiong could defeat Guan Yu… These were topics usually favored by old men and not so much by the elderly ladies.
