The old man's house was suddenly empty.

During the day, only Sister Wang and Qiao Yu were there, and at night, only Lao Zhou came in and out.

Old Zhou left the children to be taken care of by his mother and the nanny.

Fortunately, after this experience, all the children were scared, but they also matured a lot and became more obedient. Besides, with the little goldfish to calm the situation, it was not too difficult for Zhou's mother and the nanny to take care of so many children.

On the eve of school starting, Little Goldfish found Gousheng's rented place with all the extracurricular tutoring books he had collected over the years.

Gousheng was not at home. Shancai was sitting at the desk doing homework. His thin little face was very focused. He only looked up when he occasionally heard some noise.

After seeing that the person coming was Little Goldfish, he hesitated for a moment and walked out of the room, "Sister?"

The little goldfish nodded slightly and handed the extracurricular tutoring book over.

After Shancai took it, she looked at her again and felt that this sister was completely different from the last time she met her.

The little goldfish smiled and rubbed her hair, "We'll meet again someday."

Although Shancai was young, she seemed to realize something and hurriedly called out to her as she turned to leave: "Sister, will you stop taking my brother to the garbage dump in the future?"

The little goldfish didn't look back, but just said, "Your brother couldn't play with us originally. He was timid, young, and had to raise a sister. Now, even if we don't play together often, he can take responsibility and take good care of you.

If I don't go to the dump, he will have more time to make money to support you."

"Sister, my brother treats you as a friend and recognizes you as the big sister..."

"I know."

Even if it was out of the mentality of exploitation at the beginning, but after being together day and night, who hasn't used their heart? Who hasn't had feelings?

Shancai looked at the pile of extracurricular tutoring books and a brand new notebook with a new pen on it. On the first page was a strong and vigorous blessing for herself.

——I wish my brother gets what he wants, and I wish my sister a bright future.

Shancai waited until Gousheng came home before telling him about the little goldfish who came to see him today.

Gou Sheng was silent for a long time, glanced at the clothes of Little Goldfish, Little Chunzhi and the quadruplets under the bed, and said, "I understand."

"Brother... aren't you sad?"

"People always have to grow up. I'm happy for the big sister."

"I'm asking you."

Him?

He has no time to be sad.

He had to fight with his stepfather and stepmother to raise his sister. He also had to be on guard against his stepfather and stepmother coming to reap the benefits after his sister became successful.

That happy time as a child is fleeting.

Little Goldfish's mother came to him and explained Little Goldfish's situation. Only then did he realize that in such a family, life is well planned.

"Her father and I didn't have high hopes for her. We just wanted her to grow up happily before graduating from junior high school. But we are in this position... it's lonely at the top. Her happy childhood can only end after she graduates from junior high school, which is just one year earlier now.

Before, we let her go to the garbage dump and interact with you because she was happy and willing. But people always have to grow up, and their circle of friends will be different.

Her circle is not in the garbage dump."

Gousheng's face felt hot at that time.

Realize the gap and distance between yourself and the little goldfish family.

He was sad, not because of Qiao Yu's words, but because the other party calmly expressed his inferiority complex, and he found it difficult to accept it for a while.

Thinking about it afterwards, if the roles were reversed, he would do the same thing, and might even act like a villain and laugh at himself for wanting to jump the social ladder and continue to be friends with the little goldfish.

Does he deserve it?

Is he, a dirty little guy who had an exploitative mentality at the beginning, worthy of it?

"We...will she and I be able to meet again in the future?"

"Probably."

Gou Sheng's eyes lit up, and he heard the other party say, "As long as you stand high enough and have a common circle, these childhood memories will be the icing on the cake and will quickly increase the relationship between you two."

Qiao Yu paused and said, "People grow up quickly, don't they?"

Gousheng nodded heavily at that time.

From his sister Shancai, he learned that the little goldfish had changed a lot and grown up rapidly, so he also had to speed up his pace and climb to the difficult peak.

…

Shuhui returned to Beijing and brought her things to her husband's house, but he locked the door and said she disappeared.

Zhou's mother received her at her father-in-law's house.

Shuhui was surprised and asked, "What happened?"

Why did she feel that the once bustling family suddenly became deserted and empty?

Zhou's mother told him about the cockroach medicine.

Shuhui was stunned for a moment, then said, "Sister Yanzi knows the whole story, she shouldn't care about it..."

Zhou's mother: "Yanzi is sensible, and your great-grandmother doesn't want to cause any more trouble."

Shuhui felt very sad. They were both gentle people, and she never expected that things would end up like this because of a small matter.

Sister Yanzi is considerate and my great-grandmother is also a kind old man. Why...

Why.

"Sister Yanzi knows about my great-grandmother's decision..."

"She must be feeling bad. If you have time, go visit her and give her some counselling."

"good."

Shuhui came alone and was really glad that she didn't bring her children and mother.

Arriving at the next courtyard, she knocked on the door and waited for a while before she heard hurried footsteps.

When the door was opened, Shuhui saw that Sister Yanzi's eyes were a little red.

"Sister Yanzi..."

"Shuhui? You're here. Come in and sit down."

The house is a little messy, but looking at Yan Zi's appearance, there is order in the chaos.

Xiao Chunzhi was playing with Bingbing in the house. Yan Zi closed the door and made a cup of tea for Shuhui.

"Sister Yanzi..."

"I'm fine. Have you been to the military compound? Do you know everything?"

Shuhui thought for a moment and said, "Sister Yanzi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what could possibly happen to me..."

I thought the other party was here to persuade me to forgive my great-grandmother, who was just ill...

Who knew that this sister-in-law had a very cunning mind and would start caring about herself first.

Zhou Jun didn't dare to breathe at home these days, and Sister Liu also returned to the island early. She was a day student and was not close to her classmates at school, so she didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Saying this to Shuhui was also a way of comforting myself.

After comforting myself with these few words, I decided to stay in Bengbu.

Yan Zi wiped away her tears, "I didn't say anything, and I understand my great-grandmother's illness. Why are everyone so cautious with me, as if I were the unreasonable person?

When I first knew about my great-grandmother's illness, I still let Bingbing take care of him, because I was mentally prepared...

On the day my father-in-law came to apologize, he gave me money and a house. Isn't that insulting? Who needs these things now? What do you think of me and Brother Zhou Jun? We are all family members..."

Seeing the other party talking nonstop, Shuhui breathed a sigh of relief.

She would agree with the other person every few words so as not to leave him feeling awkward.

After crying for a long time, Yan Zi finally came to her senses.

"When I first married into the Zhou family, I had my own selfish desires. Who doesn't have selfish desires? Isn't it because we have nothing that we hide our selfish desires? Now that we have everything, my parents treat us as outsiders..."

Why.

Look at this big family, it’s so warm.
