The next day.
Cai came to find Tangli.
Tangli noticed that Cai was very unhappy.
"Sister Cai, what's wrong with you?" Tang Li asked.
Cai hugged Tangli and said sullenly, "Tangtang, my daughter doesn't like the sachet I made. She said it's too ugly and it would be embarrassing to wear it outside."
Tang Li knew how hurtful it was for his own daughter to say such words to him, a thousand or ten thousand times more hurtful than to anyone else.
Tangli let her hold him.
"My husband also blames me, saying that I always beat my daughter. But Chun'er has such a personality that I can't help my temper," said Cai in frustration.
"Chun'er likes Tang more than me. I'm really sad."
Cai was talking, and Tangli was just a quiet listener.
Tang Li soon understood why Cai's daughter rejected Cai and was close to Tang.
This is a common occurrence in modern families. When a mother is very strict with her child and lectures him coldly, the child's grandmother will often step in to comfort him. This naturally causes the child to become attached to the doting grandmother and reject the strict mother. The child is too young to understand that their mother's actions are for their own good.
"When your daughter grows up and becomes sensible, she will realize how good you are. After all, she is your own daughter, and no one can compare to her." Tang Li comforted her.
Cai wiped the fallen golden beans.
"I hope so."
…
A few days later.
Mr. Fang's condition has worsened.
When his illness became serious, Erbao stayed by Mr. Fang's side day and night.
The second baby was also well-behaved and just quietly accompanied the old man.
Looking at his skinny grandfather lying on the bed, Erbao felt very sad.
He vaguely knew that his grandfather would leave him like Grandma Zhang.
"Dad, Yan'er has been with you every day since he came back to the Fang family. Yan'er is such a filial child. Your love for him is not in vain." Fang Jie kept chattering beside him.
He knew that his father's days were numbered.
Now that the Fang family's property has not been divided yet, he hopes that the old man will hand over the Fang family to him for the sake of this child.
"This child is filial and patient. He really looks a bit like you, Dad."
"Grandpa!" Erbao suddenly shouted.
I saw that Mr. Fang actually opened his eyes!
"Dad, are you awake? How do you feel? I'll go call the doctor!" Fang Jie said hurriedly.
"Stop shouting, I'm fine, just talk to me." said Mr. Fang.
Fang Jie paused and nodded.
"Help me up." said Mr. Fang.
Fang Jie helped him up.
Old Master Fang stared at Erbao intently, as if he wanted to take a few more glances at him.
Erbao was also very happy, his little face full of joy.
"Yan'er has grown up." Old Master Fang sighed, "He's already this tall. He was just a tiny kid before."
Old Master Fang loves his eldest grandson very much. He is afraid that he might bump into something, or get cold or hot. He wants to hold him in his mouth or in the palm of his hand.
But unexpectedly, he got lost.
He didn't know how much suffering his beloved grandson had endured out there.
He felt so uncomfortable and heartbroken when he thought about the child suffering outside.
Fortunately, I found it.
He felt relieved to see that the child was being raised so well.
"My dear grandson, I heard you say in a daze that the couple who adopted you are in the mansion?" asked Old Master Fang.
Erbao nodded: "Dad and Mom are at the mansion."
"That's great! I must meet them. They are our Fang family's great benefactors." Old Master Fang said excitedly.
Fang Jie wanted to stop it, but thinking of the old man's decisive character, he could only send someone to look for him.
Soon, Tang Li and Wei Qing arrived.
Old Master Fang asked Erbao and Fang Jie to go out because he had something to say to them.
So, there were only three people left in the room.
Old Master Fang glanced at Tang Li and Wei Qing. Having lived to this age, he was knowledgeable and experienced. He could tell what kind of person they were just by looking at their face.
At first glance, he felt that these two people were not simple.
The man had a resolute face and was not one to be easily influenced by others. He would transform into a dragon when faced with storms.
The woman looks weak, but she is strong and heroic in her bones, different from ordinary women.
No wonder these two people take such good care of Yan'er.
"I can't move now, otherwise I would kowtow to you a few times." said Mr. Fang.
"If it's because of Erbao, then old man, please be so polite." Tang Li said hurriedly.
"No, the world is dangerous. If it weren't for you, this child wouldn't be so good." said Mr. Fang.
Old Master Fang knew that he didn't have much time left, so he said directly, "Young man, help me get the cabinet under my bed."
Wei Qing bent down and saw a small cabinet under the bed. He took out the cabinet and handed it to Mr. Fang.
Old Master Fang held the cabinet, took out the key chain hanging around his neck, took out a small key, and quickly opened it.
There was a stack of papers inside, which Mr. Fang handed to Wei Qing.
"Young man, keep this."
Wei Qing ignored him.
Fang Jie wants to buy out the father-son relationship between him and Erbao, and now the old man is doing the same thing again?
"Grandpa wants us to leave Erbao in the Fang Mansion?" Tang Li asked.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Fang actually shook his head: "I want you to take him away."
Tang Li and Wei Qing were both shocked. They obviously didn't expect Mr. Fang to say such a thing.
"During this period, this child has been nagging in my ears, and all he talks about is you two. My ears are callused. I know that he is very happy when he is with you, and he is not happy staying in the Fang family. In the past, I always hoped that this child would grow up to be successful and make the Fang family bigger and bigger. Later, this child was lost, and I only hope that this child will be safe, healthy and happy." said Old Man Fang.
"He's happy with you. Being with you feels more like home. I'm relieved that he has you protecting him. Here are some shop deeds. If Yan'er wants to start a business, he can use these as capital. If Yan'er doesn't want to, these will ensure that he has food and clothing for the rest of his life."
Tang Li was quite touched by what he heard.
She looked at the skinny old man in front of her. He was really good to Erbao.
She also respects people who are good to Erbao.
"Okay, I'll take it!" Tang Li said decisively, "I promise you, we will take good care of Erbao and treat him like our own child. We will never let him suffer any injustice!"
Mr. Fang nodded: "Thank you very much. There is also a letter inside."
Tang Li saw the letter and placed it at the bottom of the box.
"You two, can you agree to one of my requests? Don't open this letter easily, unless... when someone from the Fang family makes things difficult for you, this letter can help you." Old Master Fang said, with deep meaning in his words.
Tangli nodded and said solemnly: "I promise you."
As he said that, he put the things away.
After Mr. Fang finished giving his instructions, he let them go.
