Liang Zhirou's eyes and cheeks were a little red as she looked at her with puffed-out cheeks.

"Given your uncle's family situation...where do you plan to stay then?"

Chen Lu still remembered that Xiao Xunfang had brought Liang Zhirou out of her home.

"Auntie has made up her mind. I'll rent a place near where Zhirou went to junior high and high school, and then I can take the bus to visit your uncle from time to time," Xiao Xunfang explained carefully.

She paused for a moment, then quickly waved her hand and explained, "Renting over there isn't as expensive as here. Even with food and clothing included, it might only cost a few thousand yuan a year."

After she finished speaking, she slowly lowered her eyes.

Actually, she hesitated before coming here.

Even if it's just a few thousand yuan, she refuses to let Liang Zhirou or Chen Lu pay for it for her.

It's not easy for kids to earn money. The cost of living in big cities is so high, so they need to save their money for their own lives.

But as people get older, they only have this one thought. Liang Zhirou is now an adult, and she wants to go back and take care of Liang Zhirou's father.

Besides Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou, this is her only family.

That's why, after hesitating for a few days, she still chose to come over and discuss this matter.

When his leg wasn't healed, he would always find himself crying uncontrollably when he thought of Liang Zhirou's father at night. He couldn't even speak to him at his grave; he could only whisper to his father in the dark, looking at his photo. He couldn't let Liang Zhirou hear him, or the child would cry secretly too.

Now that I can take care of myself, I often want to go back and keep that old man company.

Oh right, he's not an old man, he's still young.

Back then, I was in my thirties and still looked like a handsome young man, and then I stubbornly stuck to the age where I was still handsome.

She's the one who's getting older...

Only her age changes year by year. When Liang Zhirou's father passed away, she was still young, but now her face is full of wrinkles.

As Xiao Xunfang thought to herself, she suddenly gave a bitter smile, blinked, and held back her tears.

I used to fantasize that Liang Zhirou's father would suddenly appear in front of her one day, but now I'd better stop.

She's been secretly growing old like this all by herself, without him knowing.

"Then I'll take you back."

Chen Lu suddenly said seriously.

There's no way to dissuade someone from doing this.

Putting aside the fact that Liang Zhirou's occasional stubbornness is inherited from her mother.

He had already heard Xiao Xunfang mention this matter once when he was having dinner at Liang Zhirou's house.

This idea had clearly been buried in her heart all along, and now that she had recovered considerably, she naturally took this opportunity to bring it up again.

He is someone who often reflects on himself and never uses the excuse of "for your own good" to persuade others, so he has been thinking a lot lately.

Chen Lu always felt that if he really had any merits—

That is knowing how to make others succeed.
