"I'm fine, are you alright?" Little Fish's mother's voice choked with emotion.

"I'm alright. I have these relatives and A Lei. I'm not alone. Let's take it one step at a time."

"Little Fish, I want to go over there, but it seems inconvenient. What do you think..."

"Mom, it's a bit inconvenient. Just wait at home and come see me after this is over, okay?"

"Okay," Little Fish's mother said obediently. Now, she was pampered by her husband and son, and now she had a daughter who also pampered her in the same way. This was probably the happiest life.

Qin Xiaoyu had just hung up the phone when another call came in.

"This is a difficult matter." Qin Xiaoyu understood immediately from her uncle's words.

This is something my uncle went to do himself, but he ran into a wall.

"Uncle, thank you. This matter has come at a critical juncture, and it is indeed difficult to handle."

“My father and I have both tried, but it didn’t work. It’s not convenient to say more here, so just do your best. If there’s anything we can do, call us and don’t hesitate to ask.”

Although the two phone calls in the morning didn't lead to any substantial progress, Qin Xiaoyu felt much better. There's strength in numbers, and things might work out eventually. There's still hope for Qi Si.

The next morning, Qin Xiaoyu called and asked Hanhan's grandfather to bring Qi Weiguo over for breakfast, after which she would send him back.

Zhou Xing's mother was busy in the kitchen; there were too many people, and one maid couldn't handle it all. Qin Xiaoyu also went to help set the table.

Commander Zhou is in charge of the younger sister, and A Lei is in charge of the younger sister.

For some reason, my little sister was grumpy when she woke up today and was unhappy the whole time. A Lei put Xiao Jiajia in the living room downstairs and went upstairs to calm her down.

Grandpa Hanhan brought Qi Weiguo over, settled him on the sofa, and then went to the backyard to water the flowers. He told them to wait until the sun was up before watering, otherwise the flowers would get hurt.

Qi Weiguo didn't sleep all night. He hadn't slept in such a comfortable bed in a long time, and he wasn't used to it.

From the moment he entered this family yesterday, he sensed that they were a harmonious household. The loving father and filial daughter, the joys of family life—this was something he could never experience. Why did his heart, hardened like stone, soften, and feel a pang of jealousy?

Suddenly, he felt a small hand on his knee. It felt like a little guy had just been thrown into the living room. He tensed up.

The little hand moved slowly, soft and ticklish. He held his breath, not daring to move.

Suddenly, the hand slipped, and he imagined a scene of falling. Startled, he reached out his hand.

He caught nothing and was about to pull his hand back when suddenly his palm felt heavy, and there was something there.

He touched it; it was round. He smelled it; it had a sweet, cloying aroma. It was a longan.

The little hand rested on his knee again, and he reached out to return the longan. The little guy didn't take it; instead, he put another one on top.

When A Lei carried his pouting little sister downstairs, he saw that Xiao Jiajia had already placed about ten longans in Qi Weiguo's hands. The longans were on a plate on the coffee table, and Xiao Jiajia was the porter, delivering them one by one.

"Sorry, the child is naughty." A Lei quickly put down his little sister, picked up Xiao Jiajia, and said apologetically. He picked up the longan one by one, and when only the last one was left, Qi Weiguo suddenly clenched his fist.

"Dinner's ready! Come on over!" Qin Xiaoyu ran over to call out, her little sister muttering to herself as she walked over. A Lei helped Qi Weiguo up. Commander Zhou came downstairs carrying his little sister's schoolbag.

Grandpa Hanhan came in from behind, carrying a small bowl of freshly picked mulberries.

This time, Qi Weiguo didn't use his hands to eat. He held a glutinous rice cake in one hand and a spoon in the other, and drank the soup seriously.

"Grandpa, do you want to stay at our house?" the little girl asked curiously.

"Will you let me move in or not?" Qi Weiguo suddenly asked.

Qin Xiaoyu was startled. It was too late to teach her younger sister how to answer. She was afraid that her sister might say something hurtful in the heat of the moment.

"Welcome! Our house is big, please come and stay," the younger sister replied generously.

Everyone at the table laughed. This child's personality is just like Qin Xiaoyu's—generous and fond of meddling in other people's business.

"If that's how you put it, then I won't hold back," Qi Weiguo said, then lowered his head to drink his soup.

Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei exchanged a glance. What did that mean? Had he agreed to sell the land? On the condition that they move in?

After the meal, Qin Xiaoyu did not immediately see Qi Weiguo off, but helped him sit on the sofa.

"Uncle, what are your plans?"

"Let me hear your terms." Qi Weiguo's words brought Qin Xiaoyu immense joy; this was a truly unexpected surprise—he was willing to negotiate!

Qin Xiaoyu beckoned A Lei over; she was too excited to think clearly.

"Okay, we'll definitely pay for the land, you name the price. There's an additional condition: after the hotel reopens, we'll reserve a room for you permanently, and you can dine at the restaurant downstairs for free, anytime, anywhere." As expected of a lawyer, A-Lei's mind worked quickly, and he immediately laid out the terms.

"Deal." Qi Weiguo only said two words, and Qin Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. It was done just like that?

That's way too easy.

Qi Weiguo's land deed is hidden in the old house. Tomorrow, A Lei will take him to retrieve it, and then it will be notarized, and the transaction will be completed.

Qin Xiaoyu's price wasn't low, and Qi Weiguo didn't raise the price either, so it was fair and reasonable.

"I should thank you. Now I can finally give my brother an explanation," Qin Xiaoyu sighed.

“I believe Qi Si will be alright,” Qi Weiguo suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"With a sister like you, how bad could your brother be?" Qi Weiguo may be blind, but he was quite perceptive.

Qi Weiguo had just moved to a new environment and was having trouble adapting, so he was handed over to Hanhan's grandfather.

Grandpa Hanhan was a kind-hearted and honest man. Seeing that Qi Weiguo was pitiful, he took good care of him.

The two brothers chatted all night, bringing up the whole history of how Qin Xiaoyu and Qi Si made their fortunes.

"I understand now. I've met some good people. I'll transfer the property tomorrow. I'd even take this land for free." Qi Weiguo was a man who had taken life and death lightly, and now that he had suddenly escaped from a desperate situation, he was overjoyed.

He ventured out into the world at a young age, traveled to many places, and tried many different ways of making a living. In the end, he settled on this piece of land, hoping to grow something, but he didn't have high hopes.

The city was developing too fast, and this piece of land became a prime target. Boss K took a liking to it, gave him two hundred yuan to kick him out, and threatened to kill him if he dared to come back.

He had a worthless life, always struggling and hanging by a thread, but he couldn't make pointless sacrifices, so he endured it.

He never expected that the government would take his side, suddenly execute Master K, and return the land to him.

He received the land deed as if in a dream. But upon closer reflection, he realized this was no simple matter; it wasn't just a plan to sell the land and enjoy a life of leisure. It was likely far more complicated than he imagined.
