Li Mingyang's eyes widened instantly. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was more shocked or more happy.
Grandma Li cleared her somewhat tense throat and looked at Lu Zixiao and said, "Zixiao, I know you have good intentions, but you're still a child, and you're raising five younger brothers on your own. It's already difficult for you. If you become Yangyang's substitute guardian..."
"Grandma Li, you don't have to worry about me," Lu Zixiao said softly, "I'm just a substitute. To put it bluntly, Mingyang's actual guardians are still you and Grandpa Li. I'm just there to help and provide a backup."
"But who can say what will happen in the future?" Grandpa Li said with a troubled look on his face. "If this incident adds new pressure to you, we old couple will not agree to it no matter what."
"How could that be?" Lu Zixiao smiled. "As long as you two take good care of your health and strive to become a centenarian couple, then the title of Mingyang's guardian will never fall to me. How can it cause me any pressure?"
"...then wouldn't we both be old demons?" Grandpa Li shook his head and laughed, "Zixiao, thank you, Grandpa sincerely thanks you."
"Yes, Zixiao," Grandma Li was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. "You really helped us a lot..."
"Don't thank me, this is nothing." Lu Zixiao looked at them softly, "Besides, our family has been taken care of by you over the years, it's time to give something back."
Li Mingyang raised his arm and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, then stood up and walked straight to Lu Zixiao and gave him a standard 90-degree bow.
"Thank you, Brother Zixiao"
"I have no way to repay your kindness now, but when I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you."
"...There's no rush for this. I'm not old yet." Lu Zixiao patted his arm. "Let's finish the things in front of us first. There's no need to say thank you."
Li Mingyang nodded obediently and sat back in his chair.
The judge seemed very satisfied with their decision. Without saying anything more, he simply filled in their respective names on a guardianship determination form and handed it to them for signature.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Li voluntarily gave up their custody rights, they also needed to sign their names.
As the pen was about to fall, Father Li looked up at Lu Zixiao calmly, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Boy, are you sure you've made up your mind? Once my name is written, there's no turning back. Until Li Mingyang turns eighteen, you'll have to take care of him no matter what happens."
"Do I even need to tell you that?" Lu Zixiao retorted coldly, "I'm neither deaf nor blind. I can hear and see. What's the matter? Are you afraid you'll regret it one day?"
Father Li snorted coldly: "If you think so, I can't help it."
"If you have no other choice, just do as I say!" Lu Zixiao was completely impatient. "What are you wasting time on!"
