Old Li put down the water ladle and looked up. "Cuicui, let's wait a bit. The children aren't home right now. Let's wait until they come back."
At this point, Lin Cuicui felt a pang of sadness, but she quickly recovered and cheered herself up.
Lin Cuicui is no longer the same person she used to be. She smiled and said, "Father, are you still worried about Third Brother? Don't worry, Yueyue said Third Brother is fine, so he must be fine. Yueyue would never lie to us."
Old Li lowered his head, his eyes red-rimmed, but he didn't speak. He also hoped his third son was alright, but even after the notices had been sent back, he didn't want to believe it.
Lin Cuicui knew that Old Li hadn't gotten over his mental hurdle yet. However, since the children had all left, she knew that the family crisis was not over, and she understood that she couldn't rely on anyone at this time. Lin Cuicui put in a level of effort in her cultivation that she had never shown before.
Sure enough, hard work pays off. Just a few days ago, she successfully broke through to the first level of Qi Refining.
Now she felt more confident in what she said. She could now understand Old Li's concerns. "Dad, are you worried about me and Xixi?"
Old Li looked up at Lin Cuicui, washed his hands in the bucket, and thought that since the child asked every day, she must genuinely care about him, so he might as well just talk it out today and save the child from worrying about him every day.
Old Li sat down on a small stool in the yard, looking very serious. "Cui Cui, your Aunt Qin is indeed a good person. She's all alone now, and you know me, too."
We both think the other is a good match. But now is really not the right time.
Before Lin Cuicui could say anything, Old Li continued, "Cuicui, you know our family isn't safe right now. Your Aunt Qin has three children, and this family compound is for you to live in. I, an old man, can't really say anything about it."
But if I were to live with your Aunt Qin, I definitely couldn't bring them into the family compound.
"If it's just you and Xixi left at home, how can I be at ease? Besides, the situation with the third brother is still unclear, and I'm worried sick."
"Oh, Cuicui, I know you're doing this for my and your Aunt Qin's sake. I've already talked to your Aunt Qin about our family situation; she knows and understands. We're not in a rush. Let's wait until the third child is truly safe and everything in our family is settled before we talk about it."
