Chapter 174 The troublemakers are back again.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Grandpa Lei and Grandpa Gu led Xiao Tiantian out of the reception room hand in hand.
After greeting everyone, the two old men took their seats with Xiao Tiantian.
Xiao Tiantian sat between the two old men, while Lei Jingwu sat next to Old Master Lei.
Gu Changqin sat next to the old man of the Gu family.
As for the other grandchildren, regardless of gender, they all sat down and watched over them in order of age.
The children's generation sat at two other tables...
...
After a few drinks, everyone except Xiaotian and a few school children had drunk quite a bit.
The old master of the Lei family sent Lei Jingwu and his grandchildren out, leaving only his children and grandchildren behind.
After listening to everyone's flattery and saying a few polite words, the two old gentlemen returned to the reception room.
The children's generation stays away to continue their relationships and talk about topics that no one is particularly interested in.
Everyone noticed that although Xiao Tiantian had returned, Lei Laosan had not.
On such a day, the person whom Old Master Lei once valued the most did not return.
Everyone knows what this means.
Everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning anything about Secretary Lei.
As for the fact that Secretary Lei had a new daughter, no one mentioned it at all.
There are already enough people in their generation. It's good to have one less. Who has the brain cells to remember so many people?
Lei's second sister-in-law especially didn't want anyone to mention that distant relative who had made her lose face in front of the old man.
...
The old master of the Gu family looked at the old master of the Lei family with a smile.
"It's your birthday today. No matter what, you should have your third son come back and kowtow to you!"
Grandpa Lei chuckled twice, then shook his head.
"Third brother... forget it! He used to be alright, but ever since he found that wife, he seems like a completely different person."
The Lei family can no longer rely on him to shoulder their responsibilities.
He's short-sighted and doesn't think things through. He's good enough to be a minor official, someone he can keep under control.
Big things... you definitely can't rely on him.
It's best not to let him come back today, lest he still have any hope! As for Tiantian...
"The grandson of the Lei family and the grandson of the Gu family, those two identities are enough," Old Master Lei said with a smile.
The old master of the Gu family couldn't help but take a second look at the old master of the Lei family.
Just like before, they can't tolerate any infidelity; once someone is unfaithful, they're gone forever!
Even one's own son is like this!
"Are you really not going to let him study in Shanghai?" Old Master Gu continued to ask.
Grandpa Lei nodded.
"Let him study in Yun County. Firstly, our third brother is there, and secondly, as you and I both know, the most important thing for a child of Tian Tian's age is to develop his values."
Children this age are easily led astray. If this were in Shanghai... who knows what they might encounter every day!
In Yun County, the girl from the Yao family taught Tiantian very well, so I'm very relieved.
I've lived in Yun County for half a year now, and you can see that I'm completely different from before.
"Old friend, believe it or not, once Tiantian comes back from elementary school in Yun County, you'll find that he's smarter than any of the younger generation in the family," Grandpa Lei said with a smile.
After thinking about it, the old man of the Gu family also felt that it made sense.
Tian Tian used to be sensitive and spoiled; now, although she's still a bit sensitive, she's just spoiled...
Haha, you can no longer see any trace of spoiled nature in Tiantian.
"Tian Tian is now sensible, polite, and well-mannered, all thanks to the Yao family's daughter!"
Let me know when you go back home, so I can prepare some gifts for you to take back with you.
"They treat Tiantian like their own child, so we can't turn a blind eye," the old man of the Gu family said with a smile.
"Do you even need to tell me that? But your eldest grandson, Changqin, often goes to Yun County with Jingwu, and he's quite familiar with that Yao Shula."
"While your eldest grandson is still unmarried, let them run around more in the future!" Grandpa Lei joked.
The old man of the Gu family nodded.
"Yes! Let the young people do the running around, and we old guys can stay here and hold things up."
...
Xiao Tiantian has been very busy these past two days.
He'd been away from Shanghai for six months, and now that he was finally back, he couldn't help but check out his territory!
Seeing that her room was still clean and tidy, and everything was exactly as it was before she left, Xiao Tiantian was very satisfied.
It seems no one dares to occupy my room.
Besides these, the thing Xiaotian does most is to drag her older brothers and sisters who are close to her out shopping.
Then he used Lei Jingwu's money to buy gifts for everyone in Yun County.
He used the money he had left over from selling popsicles to treat the older woman to popsicles, and also made fun of the older brothers and sisters who were not yet employed.
Look at you guys, you're so old and you still can't earn your own money. With your abilities, you can't even sell popsicles.
No one knew how to refute it.
It seems that Xiaotiantian is right. Haven't they always been asking their families for money all their lives?
Okay, Little Tiantian got away with it again!
This kid is so young but so clever; no wonder the old man in the family likes him the most!
Besides trying to provoke her older siblings, Xiao Tiantian, like a little hamster, collected all the things she thought were good to bring back to Yun County.
Lei Jingwu felt a headache coming on as he looked at all the things Xiao Tiantian had gathered.
There's too much stuff. When we send Xiaotian back, we'll have to drive a truck!
Besides these, Xiaotian loves to tell everyone she's close to that she has a great older sister.
"I had no relatives or friends, but the older sister took me in, gave me good food, and let me stay. What else could she be but a good person?"
They even taught me to write pinyin and do arithmetic. What else could they be but family?
They even made me shoes to wear. Isn't that showing they care about me?
She hit her own brother and then didn't forget to hit me too—what else could she be but a loving sister!
As Xiaotian described all the good things about Yao Shula, everyone began to form an image of Yao Shula in their minds.
Hardworking and kind-hearted, she would rather eat porridge herself than let her younger siblings go hungry, and raised them with great difficulty...
This is simply... well, they can't do these things anyway.
"She's such a good person; the image of an elder sister being like a mother has come to life!" everyone concluded.
Little Tiantian proudly held her head high.
Look, what a wonderful older sister! I have one that you don't!
...
In Yun County, Xiao Tiantian's family members see her hardworking and selfless older sister as still being as sharp-tongued as ever.
"Five yuan for mourning, eight yuan for keeping vigil!"
Two people get a 10% discount, three people get a 20% discount.
If your whole family is gone, we'll give you a huge discount of 50%!
"How about it? This price is good enough, isn't it!" Yao Shula looked coldly at the long-haired, sleazy guy standing in front of the pool table.
They've come knocking on our door again!
Song Yuling's younger brother is also the guy who sold the original Yao Shula to someone else...
