Chapter 592 (Page 1/2)

Lin Man felt that this was a bit inappropriate. If she really didn't prepare meals for them, her third aunt, younger aunt, and younger sister-in-law would definitely gossip about her outside.

Who would go home to pay New Year's greetings to their elderly father without being given food at home? They are not outsiders. Even if outsiders come to pay New Year's greetings at home, they will be treated to good wine and food.

Lin Man didn't understand why Grandpa suddenly said this. Was it out of guilt? Guilt because their family had paid the most.

Sometimes she also thought that it would be better if she didn't live with her grandfather, so that they wouldn't have to entertain her grandfather's relatives, friends and his former subordinates.

Since they chose to live with grandpa in the first place, they have to suffer this loss no matter what.

Before Huo Qingci could say anything, Lin Man retorted, "Grandpa, our fourth uncle, younger uncle, and aunt are here to wish you a happy new year. We must keep them entertained before they leave. If Qingci and I don't treat them well, outsiders will definitely make up stories about them."

Huo Li slowly opened his mouth and explained to Lin Man in a calm tone, "Xiao Man, you've been really hard-working these days. Since your mother-in-law fell ill, you've been the only one to take care of the house.

Although I, an old man, can't help much, I can see it all.

Xiaoya is still receiving treatment in the hospital, and it's really not easy for you and Qingci to run around.

Your fourth uncle and the others are well aware of our family's current situation and know that you two are too busy to handle everything, so they definitely won't stay for dinner and cause you any trouble."

However, Lin Man thought to herself that her grandfather might have thought too highly of them.

Regardless of what my aunt's family plans to do, just talking about my fourth uncle and my younger uncle's families, there is a high probability that they will stay and eat for free.

Even though my fourth uncle and younger uncle might be embarrassed to trouble me, it is hard to say about my fourth aunt and younger aunt.

From her understanding of them, she knew that these two people would surely be eager to eat from New Year's Eve to the second day of the New Year before returning home.

After all, eating here does not require them to cook or spend money out of their own pockets, and they are treated to sumptuous meals of fish and meat every day. How could they let go of such a good thing that they can get without working for it?

Lin Man was about to say something back to her grandfather when Huo Qingci said to Huo Li with a firm face, "Grandpa, don't worry! I can rest during the New Year holidays. I will do my best to help Manman prepare the meal, and Qinghuan will also come to help.

Isn't it just two meals? It's not that difficult! Besides, my mother's condition has gradually improved. Maybe she will be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital in a week or two. Grandpa, let's eat first. The food is already cold.

“Eat, eat!”

Following the shout, Huo Li quickly picked up the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes fixed on the plate of fragrant and tender roasted venison in the middle of the table. He reached out to pick up a piece without hesitation.

While eating, he thought that the family was now headed by his eldest grandson's wife, who was in charge of all the big and small affairs of the family.

Let her do as she pleases, she can handle it however she wants, as long as she can manage the household well.

After all, he is old and too lazy to worry about many things. What's more, he will never treat badly this granddaughter-in-law who takes care of the family wholeheartedly.

After the meal, Huo Qinghuan just stood up and left his seat, and Lin Man couldn't wait to grab Huo Qingci's hand, pulled him aside, and whispered to him in a low voice.

"Qingci, let me tell you something. Today, Mom was holding Dad in the ward and crying their hearts out. Ningning happened to see them.

The child was terrified at the time, thinking something serious had happened to our mother, so they hugged each other and cried bitterly. "Alas..." Lin Man sighed softly.

"That's right. Ever since Mom got sick, she's become incredibly suspicious and her mood has become extremely unstable. She always gets angry at Dad for no apparent reason or gets sad by herself.

I saw it all, but I didn’t know how to help her relieve the pain and anxiety.”

Huo Qingci shook his head helplessly, his brows tightly furrowed, his face full of worry.

His mother was worried that her illness could not be cured, that her younger brother would not want to get married, and that after she left, no one would take care of her younger sister.
