“Wen Shu, don’t be nervous. What can I do now?” Grandma Li sighed. “Li Duo mentioned wanting to marry you when he was at Bu Dong Shan, but his father disagreed.”
"When I go back this time, I will persuade Li Duo's father to settle this matter! You are my sister's granddaughter, and it would be great if our two families could become one family!"
Grandma Li looked sincere; that was indeed what she thought. However, to Wen Shu, her words sounded powerless.
After all, just two hours earlier, she had met with the Li family's legal representative.
It won't be long before she takes the Li family to court. Why is she talking about marriage now?
Wen Shu didn't believe it at all.
“Grandma, you and Grandma have just reunited, and this is a time for you to bond. Don’t worry about these things. As Grandma says, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just enjoy catching up with Grandma now, and don’t worry about anything else.”
When Wen Shu spoke, she had a smile on her face and looked very kind.
But as soon as she said that, Grandma understood what Wen Shu meant. Wen Shu didn't believe her great-aunt who was visiting for the first time.
Come to think of it, how many times has Wen Shu been hurt since she was a child? She no longer trusts anyone.
Grandma immediately spoke up, "Sister, just listen to Wen Shu, don't think too much about it."
Grandma Li wanted to say something, but her maternal grandmother held her hand tighter.
Grandma Li swallowed the words she wanted to say. She could tell that her sister was giving her a hint, telling her not to say anything more.
Grandma Li opened her mouth, her expression somewhat embarrassed.
Well, she was actually a bit conflicted. She had treated Wen Shu that way before, but now they were family again. She genuinely wanted to help Wen Shu, because family members going to court would definitely hurt their relationship.
Putting everything else aside, what about the relationship between her and her sister?
Wen Shu thoughtfully prepared warm water and fruit for them, and then took Rou Rou to play in the yard.
Grandma Li said sadly, "If only I hadn't been so harsh back then. It's not Wen Shu's fault for being sad, it's all my fault. I'm getting old, my thinking is outdated, and I'm getting confused. Wen Shu is such a good girl, and I hurt her because of my foul mouth!"
Grandma quickly comforted her, "Don't think too much about it. Wen Shu is a very opinionated child. She's always been like this since she was little. Once she's made a decision, she can't understand it herself, and no one can persuade her otherwise."
"Besides, things will work themselves out. Why think so much? I've known you've been doing well all these years, and it's really a relief to me."
"Let's keep in touch from now on. You can come see me when you have time, or I'll come see you when I have time!"
Grandma Li was taken aback. "Sister, what do you mean by that? We've been looking for each other for so many years."
"Now that I've finally found you, aren't you planning to move back to Immovable Mountain? Little sister, you're a member of the Li family! You're the legitimate second young lady of the Li family. In our generation, you and I are the oldest!"
"Now that we've all recognized each other as family, of course you should move back to Fudoyama!"
As she spoke, Grandma Li turned her head and looked around the small room. "Wen Shu is really good. She gave you the best sunny room to live in, while she and her child live in the small room."
“Sister, even for the sake of Wen Shu and Rou Rou, you should move back to Bu Dong Shan to create better conditions for the children. Don’t you think so?”
Grandma Li tried her best to persuade her grandmother to go back to Budong Mountain with her.
The two sisters were separated when they were young and were separated for many years. Now that they have finally reunited and found their original family, why don't they move back?
Grandma smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to move back, it's just that I've gotten used to living here for so many years, and I've never dared to buy this house. This house wasn't originally like this; Wen Shu took the initiative to renovate it."
Grandma looked up at the newly renovated room and said, "I'm really satisfied with my current life. If you asked me to move back to Fudomyama, I might not be used to it."
"Besides, I have some old friends, neighbors, and acquaintances in this community. They've all been very kind to me and taken good care of each other. I feel very comfortable living here!"
Actually, my grandmother wasn't lying; she was indeed living a very comfortable life here.
She was familiar with the surroundings and the people around her. At her age, she would go to the market every day, whether she had something to do or not, to chat with the familiar vegetable stall owners, to greet her old neighbors, and to show off her chubby grandson.
Grandma was truly satisfied.
My grandmother was never a greedy person. In her opinion, she was already satisfied to have found her relatives in her lifetime.
After that, her wish was fulfilled, and she lived a peaceful and comfortable life, which was the happiest thing for her.
No matter how good the Li family's conditions are, she doesn't care.
Moreover, Grandma knew that the larger the family and the more people there were, the more issues would arise.
My sister was just chatting with her, and she even talked about some things related to the Li family's business dealings.
Grandma didn't understand those things, nor did she know what they meant. She just knew that things couldn't go on like this.
It's really good, but the better the conditions and the bigger the family, the more trouble it will cause.
My grandmother was not the type of person who liked to meddle, and she was most afraid of complicated interpersonal relationships.
When Aunt Zhang was spreading rumors about Wen Shu's reputation throughout the neighborhood, Grandma chose to publicly scold Aunt Zhang all at once, instead of humbly explaining to the other elderly people in the neighborhood.
Grandma knew what it meant to make things worse the more you explain; she meant to openly confront others and hated people like Aunt Zhang who resorted to underhanded tricks.
Grandma really enjoys her current life. If she were to return to Budong Mountain and the Li family, wouldn't there be a lot of trouble later on?
Although she was a member of the Li family and did not hold the position of "Mount Bu Shan," to those members of the Li family, she had neither contributed to the family nor had any feelings for them. What good would it do for her to go back?
It's alright as long as his sister is here; perhaps those people won't give him a hard time. But if his sister is gone, will his "Unmovable Three" still have a place to stand?
Even if Grandma doesn't care about these things, the problem is, what will happen to Wen Shu if she goes back to Mount Immovable with her sister?
Grandma has already confessed to Third Grandma Li that Wen Shu is not related to her by blood.
Even if she and her sister return to Mount Immovable, she still won't be able to take Wen Shu with her.
Wen Shu has no relation to her, so to Budongshan, Wen Shu is just an outsider. How could an outsider live in someone else's house?
Grandma knew, of course, that Third Grandma Li meant well, but no matter how well she meant well, Grandma remained calm.
There are some things she sees clearly, but there's no need to explain them too clearly to her sister.
