You two are brothers, bound by blood; what about your nephew and niece? Keep an eye on them.

"If I didn't take care of them, would they be living such a good life?"

Greedy, insatiable ingrate!

Grandpa Li: "You didn't treat him like a younger brother, or rather, you didn't consider yourself a member of the Li family."

I understand that you've been with the Bai family for many years and have a deep bond with them, but since you came home, you've shown no interest in the Li family.

Li Wenyuan: "What you said may be true, but it is an unchangeable fact."

I can pay your child support in one lump sum or monthly payments, it's fine with me.

As for them, and as for supporting them, I have no obligation to do so.

Old Master Li sighed. He couldn't do anything about his son, but his eldest son was capable and the whole family still depended on him for support.

Thinking of this, his tone softened.

"No matter what, you're the eldest, so take responsibility. I know he's a jerk, but he's still your brother, so don't stoop to his level."

His eldest son wouldn't listen to him, but he still had to find a way to save face, since the whole family still depended on him for support.

Li Wenyuan didn't respond to him. After the old man finished speaking, he took the old lady away.

After the mine attack, things calmed down for a while, and New Year's Day 2052 arrived.

Before New Year's Day, Uncle Li urged Bai Shuang to move the smokeless coal blocks from the coal yard.

Bai Shuang thought about it and agreed. Leaving it here would cause trouble and take up space.

"Uncle-Master, clear everyone out of the area near the coal yard."

"Why? Don't you need people to load the coal?"

"No need, you'll find out when the time comes."

There are about two hundred tons of anthracite lumps in Li Wenyuan's coal yard. It would take several heavy trucks and a loader to load them, but fuel is scarce in the apocalypse, so they should avoid using them if possible.

Bai Shuang decided to reveal some things to her Uncle Li.
