"Wait, this is a bit confusing. Let me think about it before I reply, okay?" Qin Xiaoyu wasn't trying to refuse; her mind was indeed a mess. The idea of ​​taking over was too far removed from her. She could have irresponsibly agreed to it casually, but one look at Hanhan made her change her mind. She couldn't harm Hanhan's interests, so she needed to think it over carefully.

The old woman couldn't hide her disappointment. She probably thought Qin Xiaoyu was confused and not a smart person, and that a meal would solve the problem. Now that things were dragging on, she didn't dare to urge her too much, afraid of revealing too much of her thoughts. She could only watch the mother and her two children leave and go home.

"What do you think about letting Tang Long take over?" Qin Xiaoyu asked Hanhan as soon as she entered the room.

"I don't know," Hanhan answered honestly, her eyes still bright and clear, completely innocent. Qin Xiaoyu then realized how ridiculous she had been, always treating him as a support and forgetting that he was just a five-year-old child.

Anyway, everyone was in a good mood after dinner. Even the little sister who couldn't speak was smiling and stopped trying to touch Qin Xiaoyu's chest. Instead, she was making "ah ah ah" noises and playing with two small sheep bone dice with Hanhan.

Qin Xiaoyu leaned against the kang (a heated brick bed), her gaze wandering aimlessly, lost in thought.

Suddenly, someone under the window cursed: "You treacherous wolf cub, you can't be tamed and you're so ungrateful! All you know is how to climb the social ladder! You have a successor position but you don't give it to your own sister-in-law, you give it to that distant nephew. Do you think he can take care of you in your old age?"

The one who was cursing was Hanhan's grandmother. She was probably afraid that the people upstairs would hear, so she only dared to curse quietly from under the window. This sentence woke Qin Xiaoyu up. No wonder the aunt made such a big fuss to invite them to dinner. It's because Hanhan's aunt has been unemployed at home for two years. So it was Zhou Long's turn.

Grandma Hanhan's words were shameless enough. The spot belonged to Hanhan's father. If he wanted to take over, he should have treated Hanhan and her siblings better first. She couldn't even afford to feed them, yet she had the nerve to ask for the succession spot? She was a foolish old woman, blinded by greed.

Qin Xiaoyu wanted to open the window and argue with her, but seeing Hanhan's frightened appearance, she held back.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning illuminated the house, followed by a thunderclap that struck the yard, silencing the cursing instantly.
