Li Duo also knew that Wen Shu's ultimate goal was to retain custody of Rou Rou.
If they are together, no father will be able to join the fight for the child, and the chances of the Li family winning custody will be much smaller.
Not only that, but the succulent can also have a complete home.
Li Duo didn't mind at all; he really didn't mind at all.
Given such an opportunity, he could spend the rest of his life making up for what he owed Wen Shu and Rou Rou, and for the mistakes he had made.
In the small courtyard.
Wen Rou Rou stood in the yard, her cute chubby face tilted up, staring blankly at the two people in front of her.
Wen Shu was a little worried, "Rou Rou? Did you hear what Shu Shu said?"
Wen Rou Rou stretched out her little hand and scratched her head, "Why?"
The little one had a big question: "Why is DouDou the dad?"
Wen Shu squatted down and looked Rou Rou in the eye. "Dou Dou has always been Rou Rou's dad, just like Shu Shu has always been Rou Rou's mom."
Wen Rou Rou looked at Li Duo, and Li Duo squatted down as well. "When Rou Rou was very young, Dou Dou lost Rou Rou and Shu Shu. It was only with great difficulty that they were found. Can Rou Rou forgive Dou Dou?"
A troubled expression appeared on Wen Shu's chubby little face as he looked at her: "Shu Shu, will you forgive Dou Dou?"
Wen Shu immediately smiled. Look, her cute little chubby thing, no bigger than a sesame seed, even knows how to take care of her feelings!
With a gentle pull, Wen Shu hugged Wen Rou Rou tightly. She nodded and said, "Dou Dou didn't mean to lose Rou Rou, and Su Su will forgive him. But Shu Shu cares more about Rou Rou's feelings. Is Rou Rou willing to forgive him?"
Wen Rou Rou reached out and hugged Wen Shu's neck, saying in a childish voice, "Shu Shu isn't angry, and Rou Rou isn't angry either."
Wen Shu's face immediately lit up with a smile, "If Rou Rou isn't angry, then is Rou Rou happy?"
Wen Rou Rou immediately exclaimed loudly, "I'm so happy! Rou Rou has a dad now!"
Wen Shu pressed her face against Wen Rourou's soft, smooth cheek and rubbed it against him, saying, "Congratulations to our little Rourou! Rourou is happy, and Shu Shu is happy too!"
Grandma stopped chopping vegetables in the kitchen. She listened intently to the sounds outside and their conversation. After a while, she smiled through her tears as she continued chopping potatoes.
This was actually the situation she hoped for before the custody battle, but unfortunately the Li family was unwilling to give them that opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the lawsuit concerning the meat is still ongoing, but the two parties involved have already accepted each other.
But ultimately, someone had to pay the price. Only after leaving the Li family did Li Duo have the confidence and courage to say those words to Wen Shu.
For a pampered young nobleman to leave his family, erase all his achievements, and become an ordinary person, must be a huge change for him, right?
I just wonder if Li Duo will regret making this decision later.
At lunchtime, Li Duo was asked to stay for lunch by his grandmother. At the table, Li Duo was a little nervous, but also seemed to have made up his mind. He said to his grandmother, "Grandma, there is something I would like to ask for your permission for."
Grandma looked at Li Duo and said, "Just tell me what's on your mind."
Li Duo said, "I want to marry Wen Shu."
As he spoke, Li Duo reached into his pocket and took out a bank card, placing it on the table. "This is all the savings I've accumulated over the years working at Lux. I don't usually need money, so there's some money in this card."
Grandma looked up at Li Duo and asked, "You're unemployed right now, aren't you? How much money do you have in your account?"
Li Duo replied, "Cali currently has over three million."
Grandma was taken aback for a moment. "You've worked for the Li family for so many years without spending a single penny. Your salary isn't even enough to buy a three-bedroom apartment."
Li Duo was speechless for a moment. The money was indeed not much. He had only recently checked his account and found out that there were only a little over three million in the card.
How could he have possibly thought of checking his bank account money before this?
At that time, he never imagined that he would one day break with the Li family. In his subconscious, he and the Li family were one. As long as the Li family existed, he was a part of the Li family, so he would never worry about money.
“I want to give Wen Shu 880,000 yuan of the money in the card as a bride price, and keep the rest for Wen Shu to use for starting her business.” Li Duo said, glancing at Wen Shu. “I know Wen Shu has applied for start-up funds, but there will be many uncertainties and possibilities in the early stages of starting a business. It’s better to keep some money on hand, just in case.”
Grandma asked, "If you marry Wen Shu, where do you plan to live?"
Li Duo replied, "I've discussed it with Wen Shu. Now that we're married, we'll rent a place to live for the time being. Once my job is stable and Wen Shu's business is doing well, we can buy a house later."
Wen Shu kept her head down, holding chopsticks in her hand, picking up food from Rou Rou's small bowl while stealing glances at her grandmother's expression.
Grandma slowly and methodically picked up the food with her chopsticks, without even glancing at the card.
Li Duo was a little uneasy. "Grandma, I know I'm having some financial problems right now, but I'll try my best..."
Grandma said calmly, "Put the card away. Why do you spend money recklessly when you have no money? Wen Shu is indeed the child I raised, but aren't I Wen Shu's? So even if we give a dowry, it won't reach me."
"So from my perspective, the bride price is waived. I'm an old woman, half of me is buried in the ground, what would I need so much money for?"
“You’re all having a tough time financially right now, so saving up some money will make things easier for you. I don’t know anything about business, so I can’t help you with that, but if you need any help taking care of the succulents, just let me know.”
When Grandma spoke, she ate without even lifting her eyelids, as if she were talking about everyday things.
“I know the Li family’s attitude. If you marry Wen Shu, it means you are breaking with your family. Otherwise, you will not be able to be independent. You had better be mentally prepared. I don’t want Wen Shu to suffer any grievances from the Li family because of you.”
Li Duo replied, "Grandma, I was fully prepared when I came to find Wen Shu. I made this decision after careful consideration. Please rest assured, Grandma, I will never wrong Wen Shu and Rou Rou."
Grandma responded, "You're an adult, and older than Wenshu, so there are some responsibilities you really need to shoulder. I hope you'll keep your word and give Wenshu and Rourou a stable home."
"I definitely will!" Li Duo replied with a clear and firm gaze.
Grandma nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. I have nothing else to say. Just treat Wenshu and Rourou well. That's all I wanted to say."
After Grandma finished eating, she put her bowl and chopsticks down on the table and said to Wen Shu, "By the way, Wen Shu, I'll find your household registration book for you later."
After saying that, Grandma left.
Wen Shu sat there, staring at her grandmother's back, then turned to look at Li Duo, a little confused.
She never even thought about the household registration booklet, but her grandmother did!
