Li Yuanqing stood at the entrance of the courtyard with a look of disgust. Her grandmother looked up at the person standing at the door and asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Li Yuanqing held a handkerchief in her hand, covering her nose, and looked her grandmother up and down. "You are Ms. Qin Sufang, right?"
Grandma looked at her suspiciously, "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are...?"
After confirming her grandmother's identity, Li Yuanqing took two steps into the courtyard. "Hello, my surname is Li, and my name is Li Yuanqing. I came from Budong Mountain. I'm here today to talk to you about something. Is now a convenient time?"
When Grandma heard that the other person's surname was Li, she immediately thought of Li Duo.
Grandma's face darkened. Did the Li family get the news as soon as Li Duo left?
The time difference in between is indeed quite close.
Once Grandma thought about it, she knew that Li Duo must not have communicated with the Li family about this matter yet, but the Li family had already received word of it.
The other party struck first, arriving before Li Duo could.
If it were the ending Grandma envisioned, the other party definitely wouldn't have come looking for her behind Li Duo's back.
The Li family only sent a young woman, and it's likely that this young woman was acting on behalf of the Li family elders. It's probably not the outcome that Grandma hoped for.
Grandma didn't actually want Wen Shu to marry into a wealthy family.
Because in her grandmother's eyes, the difference in social status was too great, which was not a good thing for Wen Shu.
Wen Shu is an orphan. If she marries into a wealthy family, she will suffer too many grievances in the future.
This is also one of the reasons why Grandma has not wanted Wen Shu to come into contact with wealthy families for so long.
But this time is different!
Wen Shu has a boyfriend, and the other party knows about the boyfriend's identity.
Grandma not only has to consider Wenshu, but also Rourou.
Grandma was worried that Wen Shu was not Li Duo enough, so she wanted to choose the best way for Wen Shu and Rou Rou.
Li Duo clearly had feelings for Wen Shu, and he was also Rou Rou's biological father.
In this world, no outsider can treat a child better than their own parents. If Wen Shu and Li Duo were to marry, it would be the wisest choice for both of them, as well as for Rou Rou.
Rou Rou now has a complete family, and Wen Shu and Li Duo also have guardianship of Rou Rou.
Although this method might cause Wen Shu some hardship, it is the only acceptable solution compared to the pain of losing Rou Rou.
Unless Wen Shu is ruthless enough to give up custody of Rou Rou.
But now, as Grandma looked at Li Yuanqing standing in the yard, her heart sank little by little. The situation she feared most had come to pass.
“Ms. Qin, I think you should know very well why I’m here.”
Li Yuanqing didn't come willingly; he came with a mission.
The sudden appearance of the next generation of the Li family shocked the entire family.
Because of this, Third Grandmother convened a family meeting late at night. Even someone as particular as Third Grandmother said that for the sake of the child, she could reluctantly agree to let Li Duo marry the mother of his child from outside the family.
Third Grandma was willing, but the person in the family who opposed it was Li Zhonggeng.
After learning that the child's biological mother was Wen Shu, Li Zhonggeng refused to agree to anything.
Li Zhonggeng had a good impression of Lin Jingyu. He always felt that another reason for Li Duo's breakup with Lin Jingyu was that Wen Shu had seduced Li Duo.
Li Zhonggeng had solemnly warned Wen Shu to stay away from Li Duo, but unexpectedly, Wen Shu ended up interspersing herself in Li Duo's life.
This greatly annoyed Li Zhonggeng, who felt that Wen Shu had not taken his words seriously at all!
In Li Zhonggeng's view, Wen Shu was of bad character and had a wicked heart. She was also a petty person who was not worthy of being called the young mistress of the Li family.
In contrast, Lin Jingyu comes from a wealthy family and is generous and dignified, with elegance in every gesture.
Therefore, Li Zhonggeng objected at the time. Besides, Third Grandmother had originally compromised for the sake of her great-grandson, since she didn't like Wen Shu either.
Once Li Zhonggeng spoke, Third Grandmother did not insist.
After all, Third Madam was only making a compromise for Li Duo's sake. She didn't expect Li Zhonggeng to oppose it so firmly, which actually suited Third Madam's wishes.
Li Yuanqing's visit today represents the Li family's wishes.
She knew that Wen Shu was young and impetuous. If she really went to talk to Wen Shu directly, she was afraid that Wen Shu would get angry and kick her out after only a few words. So Li Yuanqing very shrewdly went to her grandmother.
Grandma is older and more mature and steady than Wen Shu. She tends to think things through more far-sightedly and realistically.
Grandma said sternly, "Just say what you have to say. There's no one else here."
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Ms. Qin is so straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. We will take the child back to the Li family. Of course, the Li family is also grateful to Wen Shu for her meticulous care of the child over the years."
“But…” Li Yuanqing glanced around.
She curled her lips into a slight smile and chuckled softly. This sound let her grandmother know that Li Yuanqing was telling her that Wen Shu could not provide the children with the material conditions they needed, and that the Li family looked down on them.
"The Li family can provide better material conditions for the children, whether it is resources or future education. We can ensure that the children win at the starting line."
Grandma didn't say anything; she looked at Li Yuanqing calmly.
After all, when Li Yuanqing appeared at the door, Grandma had pretty much guessed what she was going to say.
"Of course, we won't let Wen Shu work for nothing. She raised the child to the age of three, which was really hard work, so we are willing to give Wen Shu some financial compensation."
As Li Yuanqing spoke, she took out a check from her pocket and handed it to her grandmother, saying, "This is our sincerity. If you think it's too little, we can talk about it again."
