Li Xiyue was quite surprised, "Grandpa, you agreed?"

"What good would it do if I disagreed?" Liao Qingshan rolled his eyes. "You wouldn't listen to me anyway."

My granddaughter looks well-behaved, but she has a strong will. Once she's made up her mind, no one can change it.

Li Xiyue hugged her grandfather's arm and said sweetly, "Grandpa, thank you. Xun will be very happy."

"Don't tell him yet, I need to test him a little more."

He wouldn't be happy unless he made that kid suffer a bit more.

Li Xiyue was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say."

Liao Qingshan smiled, walked around the room a few times, and then sighed as if thinking of something. "Our family's disadvantage is that we don't have many people. I feel uneasy whenever I think about it."

"Grandpa, do we have any other relatives?" Li Xiyue asked.

Liao Qingshan shook his head and said helplessly, "Our Liao family has been doctors for generations, saving countless lives and accumulating a lot of good karma, but in the end, we are left with nothing but offspring..."

etc.

Liao Qingshan thought of something and said, "We have another relative."

Li Xiyue asked curiously, "Where is the other relative? Who is it?"

Li Bowen is an only child. His parents passed away early, and the Li family has no other relatives.

“He is my grandfather’s apprentice, so I have to call him Junior Uncle.”

Liao Qingshan sat down and slowly said, "Junior Uncle was an orphan that my grandfather met when he was traveling. He made a living by collecting herbs. My grandfather discovered that he had a talent for medicine, so he brought him back to the Liao family."

He was indeed very talented in medicine. Although he started learning late, he learned faster than the rest of the Liao clan. In particular, he also had unique expertise in witchcraft.

My father and I are both mediocre in this field, only learning the basics of face reading and fortune telling. My grandfather often scolded us for being useless, but my junior uncle is a prodigy who has inherited all of my grandfather's true teachings of witchcraft.

I once witnessed him use witchcraft to revive a dying patient. My grandfather was so proud of himself then, as if my junior uncle was his true blood relative.

Liao Qingshan shook his head repeatedly as he spoke.

Li Xiyue asked with a smile, "Then where did my junior uncle, oh no, my great-uncle, no, I should call him grand-uncle now, go?"

“He’s not a member of the Liao family. After my grandfather passed away, he left home and went traveling around.” Liao Qingshan beckoned with his finger. “I haven’t seen him for almost forty years.”

Forty years?

Is that person still alive after such a long time?

Even if we survive, we might not meet again.

This relationship is practically worthless; all the joy was for nothing.

The next day, Li Xiyue visited Chu Xun's house. The layout and furnishings were similar to her own home, and it was so close that she could walk right across the threshold. It couldn't be more convenient.

Seeing her happy made Chu Xun happy too. "I will definitely work hard to get Grandpa Liao to accept me as soon as possible."

“Ah Xun, you’re so outstanding, my grandfather will accept you sooner or later,” Li Xiyue said with a smile.

I promised my grandfather I wouldn't tell him, I could only offer him more encouragement.

Quan Yicheng walked over with a smile, "Sister-in-law, would you like to come to my and Yingying's house?"

"Where do you live?" Li Xiyue asked curiously.

Quan Yicheng pointed to the next room.

Li Xiyue exclaimed in surprise, "No way?"

“Yingying heard that you bought a house here, and she insisted that I buy one here too.”

Li Xiyue asked with a smile, "Is the house next door also a small courtyard house?"

“Who says otherwise?” Quan Yicheng said, “There are four single-courtyard houses in this alley, and we have bought three of them.”

Li Xiyue said happily, "That's great, they're all our own people, so we don't have to worry about neighborly harmony."

"With Ah Xun around, the neighbors probably wouldn't dare to be discordant," Quan Yicheng joked.

The three of them went to the next room, which had a similar layout but was decorated in a cooler tone, much like Xie Mingying's personality.
