After more than half an hour, the two cars came back. Not only did Guan Bo and his wife come back, but the village chief of Guanjia Village and Guan Bo's two brothers also came back.

Ling Ran went into the kitchen to help cook.

Only then did Grandpa Xiao take Xiao Ding, Xiao Guo and his granddaughter downstairs.

Zhou Xiang introduced them to each other, and Guan Bo felt embarrassed. "Oh! I'm sorry for embarrassing my boss today. My kids at home are not doing well."

Old Master Xiao waved his hand. "Every family has its own problems. It's the same for all families. When the son grows up, the family branches out, and when the tree grows up, it branches out. This has been a law since ancient times. You are very decisive, more capable than me. I have to learn from you. When I return, I will divide the family too."

Guan Bo was shocked. "Oh! Old man, don't learn from us ordinary people! Dividing the family is not that easy. If I hadn't been so determined not to support them in my old age, this wouldn't have happened. I already knew that no matter how much I gave to my children, it would never be too much. If I asked him to give out, every extra cent would be too much."

"I have a pension, and I don't want my children to support me in my old age. I've been a father my whole life, and I can't let my son take control of me? Impossible."

Guan Bo was speechless, so Village Chief Guan quickly stepped forward and said a few words to the leader from the capital so that he could brag about it when he returned.

Mr. Xiao is worthy of being an old revolutionary. He can chat with anyone. After a few words, Village Chief Guan almost forgot his own last name.

There were two tables for lunch. Lu Jin, the waiter, did a good job. He divided each dish into plates and brought them to the table.

Naturally, everyone at Grandpa Xiao's table was occupied by the elders, and Xiao Ding and Xiao Guo were sent to the table of the younger generation, because Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran were going to sit over and formally toast their godfather and godmother.

Seeing his godmother was in a low mood, Zhou Xiang whispered to her, "It's hard to forge good iron without a heavy hammer. Just because you are reluctant to do so, they do whatever they want without any scruples.

If you are as ruthless as your godfather, they will know how to be afraid, without a way out and no support. Only then can they grow up and move forward courageously. Severing ties does not exist in the law. Don't act like you've really lost your own flesh and blood. Blood ties cannot be severed. They are still your children."

Aunt Guan felt better after hearing this. Yes! They were still her children, but she just didn't want to acknowledge them.

She left them with no way out. If they came back to ask for money, she would refuse them harshly. Severing ties had no legal effect, so today was just an ordinary separation. She couldn't let her husband worry. In the future, they would have to support each other.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Zhou wanted to serve her some soup and some vegetables, but she ate them all. I wonder if it was because of her mood? Or because her goddaughter had picked up the vegetables for her? She felt that her appetite was good today.

Seeing this, Guan Bo felt relieved. He picked up his glass and drank with Zhou Quan.

Zhou wanted to see that they were drinking fruit wine, so he didn't stop them. He just let them be happy!

Ling Ran arranged for Lu Jin to watch over her while he accompanied the little girl to send Xiao Xiaoxiao to Doctor Cao's clinic. He was delayed by the housekeeper's affairs in the morning.

When passing by the front yard, he called Xia Fei and Tian Cheng to help. If they needed a delivery, he would drive over. If it rained, he would arrange for them to rest.

If there is not enough room at the Zhou family's house, you can live in the single dormitory in the front yard. There are two rooms and four beds!

Zhou Xiang and the others didn't come in the morning, so Doctor Cao guessed that they were delayed. After giving Xiao Xiaoxiao an injection, Zhou Xiang told Doctor Cao what happened in the morning.

Doctor Cao sighed, "Alas! It's all about money. If they took money less seriously and valued family ties more, there wouldn't be so many problems. Xiaoguan and his wife are a good couple, but their child is spoiled."

"Yes! A loving mother often spoils her child. My godmother is too soft-hearted. Once the child admits his mistake, she wants to forgive him. Even though things have become so serious today, she still thinks about the child."

Doctor Cao waved his hand. "You're right, but maternal love is great. For their children, they will do anything! They can't bear to mistreat their children."

Especially Xiaoguan's daughter-in-law, she's too easy to talk to, and her soft personality makes it even harder to educate children. If you accept this godparent, you'll have a lot of trouble in the future."

Zhou Xiang sighed, "I can't just acknowledge my godfather and not my godmother, right? Trouble? I'm not afraid. As long as they don't mind the pain, a few beatings will make them behave. If my godmother is soft-hearted and wants to go back and look for her own child, I won't stop her. In short, I want to protect my godfather!"

Doctor Cao didn't say anything else. The entanglements of family affection are endless. The girl is kind-hearted and wants to protect Xiaoguan. I hope her kindness will be rewarded!

Xiao Xiaoxiao felt a little weak after the stitches were removed. After Zhou Xiang helped her out of the clinic, he put a water bottle in her hand and said, "Drink some water, you'll feel better."

After Xiao Xiaoxiao took it and drank it, she nodded and said, "It feels much better."

Na Zhouxiang didn't let her go, but helped her home and took her upstairs to rest.

The housekeeper had already left. Zhou Xiang took out the gift agreement and sighed, "Ling Ran, go buy all five properties next to the blacksmith shop! Make sure you get the land deeds too, otherwise there will be endless wrangling later."

Ling Ran nodded, "I'll go talk to you right away, stay home and don't go out."

"knew."

Father Zhou moved closer to his daughter and said, "Think about it. Dad is sorry for you. I know it's too late to say sorry, but if I don't say it, I will feel uncomfortable. My daughter is so good, but half of her was taken away by Fatty Guan. He even showed off to me while drinking. Is it worth showing off? She is obviously my daughter, okay?"

Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Dad! No one's childhood is perfect. My childhood was also related to the times. Don't think too much. Didn't Guan Zanfu and Guan Zanqiang have good childhoods? But they still have many things they are not satisfied with. Human hearts are unpredictable and uncontrollable. Don't test their bottom line.

My godfather's bottom line has always been his character and reputation, but Guan Zanfu has taken shamelessness to the extreme. So, he irritated my godfather. If you are good and don't irritate me, your later years will surely be envied by everyone."

Zhou's father walked out of the living room. Was the little girl warning him? Right? Yeah! He had to be good and not act rashly.

Zhou wanted to take out his cell phone and call Senior Jiang, asking him to help find someone who could repair the adobe house.

When Jiang Weihua heard from his niece that the house had been destroyed again, he felt helpless and could only promise his niece to find someone to go there as soon as possible.

Ling Ran brought back good news. The five companies were all willing to sell, but the price still needed to be negotiated.

"I guess they want to speak with one voice. Let them do whatever they want! If they go too far, we won't let them bully us."

"Yeah!" Ling Ran nodded, and then said, "I met Zhu Hang's biological mother, and she found a job on her own."

"What kind of work?" Zhou Xiang asked curiously. She had almost forgotten about this person.

"She works as a waitress at Mr. Huang's B&B, cleaning and tidying the rooms. After all, she's from a big city, so she knows a lot about accommodations."

"Mr. Huang's B&B isn't always occupied! Why would he be willing to hire someone?"

"Isn't it Aunt Huang who agreed? She felt sorry for this new friend, so she invited her to work at the B&B. Right now, she's only paying five yuan a month. She'll raise it when business picks up."

"Whatever! My brother-in-law will definitely take care of his mother. Going to the B&B to work is just to give her some spiritual support. It's good enough if she can stay there peacefully."
