Shen Qiqi rolled up her sleeves, full of energy, and prepared to give her mother-in-law's room a "new look".

She first carefully cleaned every corner of the house, leaving no dust behind.

The sunlight came in through the window, illuminating her figure as she carefully wiped the furniture, as if giving the old room a layer of golden light.

The air in the room also seemed to be a lot fresher. The previous musty smell was dispelled by the sunlight, and was replaced by a faint scent of soapberry.

She took out the soft cloth and some wood paint that she had prepared long ago and began to carefully repair the mottled furniture.

The brush flew flexibly in her hands, and the texture of the wood gradually emerged, as if it was injected with new life.

Looking at the brand new tables and chairs, Shen Qiqi smiled with satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

She also placed a green potted plant on the windowsill, adding a touch of vitality to the room.

The entire room instantly transformed from a "nursing home" into a "warm nest", filled with the smell of hope.

"Alas, this money is really a problem!" Shen Qiqi touched the few coins left in her pocket and couldn't help but frowned.

There are quite a lot of materials needed to renovate the room, and the money in my pocket is probably a bit tight.

She took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed her worries in her heart. "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out. I will always find a way!"

At this time, Lu Qing's son Lu Xiaobao came running over, jumping and skipping with a toy he had just bought from the store.

Seeing Shen Qiqi busying herself, he curled his lips and said with disdain: "Aunt San, what are you doing? What's the point of spending all your money on an old immortal's house? You might as well buy me new toys!"

Lu Xiaobao's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down on her head, instantly extinguishing most of the flame of hope that Shen Qiqi had just ignited.

The rag in her hand also stopped, and she stared at Lu Xiaobao blankly, with disappointment clearly visible in her eyes.

Children's innocent words are always so hurtful.

Shen Qiqi looked at the willful child in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

She was clearly doing it for the good of the family, so that her grandmother could enjoy her old age, but in the eyes of her children, it was a waste.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, feeling like a "tool" whose work was thankless.

Just then, Lu Qing just walked in from outside. When he heard what his son said, he frowned immediately.

He looked at Shen Qiqi's lost expression, then looked at his arrogant son, his face darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his tone: "Lu Xiaobao, what did you just say?"

Lu Qing's roar was like a sudden thunderclap, which almost made the toy in Lu Xiaobao's hand fall to the ground.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at his father, who was always smiling. But at this moment, the expression on his face was as dark as the dark clouds before a storm, so gloomy and terrifying.

Lu Xiaobao took a step back in fear and called out timidly, "Dad..."

"Let me ask you, who did you say was the immortal old man?" Lu Qing's tone was filled with unquestionable majesty, and every word was like a nail, knocking on Lu Xiaobao's heart.

He put down his tools, walked over to his son, squatted down, and stared at him with a piercing gaze. "Do you know how much grandma has sacrificed for this family? When you wet the bed as a child, who changed your bedding? When you were sick with a fever, who stayed by your side all night? Every bite of food you eat, every piece of clothing you wear, every piece wasn't saved by grandma through her frugal efforts?"

Lu Qing's voice was not loud, but it carried a powerful force that shocked everyone present.

His words were like sharp knives piercing Lu Xiaobao's heart, causing him to lower his head in shame.

He muttered softly: "I...I was just talking..."

"Can a joke erase other people's efforts? Then I can say that you will have no future?!" Lu Qing said seriously, "Remember, grandma is not a burden to you. She is the person in this family who deserves our most respect. Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today! In the future, don't say such things again, or I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" Lu Qing's words were sonorous and powerful, echoing in the room, making everyone present admire this loyal man.

Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart as she watched Lu Qing teaching the child a lesson.

She knew that Lu Qing was not the kind of person who only spoke nice words, he would use practical actions to prove his love for his family.

She walked over, patted Lu Qing's shoulder gently, and gave him a gentle look.

After dinner, Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi held hands and went to a furniture store together.

The store has a wide range of furniture, from traditional wooden furniture to modern sofa beds.

They selected carefully and exchanged opinions with each other from time to time.

Shen Qiqi likes patterns, while Lu Qing prefers simple and practical styles.

"How about this one? The headboard is upholstered, and grandma will definitely feel comfortable leaning on it." Shen Qiqi said, pointing to a uniquely shaped upholstered bed.

Lu Qing nodded. "Yeah, not bad, it looks quite comfortable. And this wardrobe has a simple design and plenty of space. It should be able to hold grandma's clothes."

The two chatted and laughed while choosing.

They would occasionally gather together and whisper to each other, and a sweet atmosphere filled the entire store.

They smiled at each other, and happiness filled their hearts.

"This bed is really good, but the price is..." Shen Qiqi looked at the string of numbers on the label and couldn't help but frowned.

Lu Qing also realized the price problem. He scratched his head and said, "Yeah, it seems we have to look at other styles."
