Chapter 589
How much affection can a family have? They just want to bully others whenever they catch them. Didn't they know what the old man is thinking and bully Kuanzi because he doesn't have parents to support him?
How could the old man not see this at his age? I really don’t know what he is holding on to?
But he is an outsider after all, and it would not be good to say too much.
Every family has its own problems, and the Xing family was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface, but his grandparents always stood by him and never shook his position as heir.
"Well, if you want to be the head of the family, we can help you."
Hearing this, Cai Kuan shook his head and smiled nonchalantly.
"In a family that is like a pile of loose sand, everyone is scheming against each other and trying to be the best in everything. What's the point of being the head of such a family? Now I just want to leave that family, live my own life, and devote myself to scientific research."
Xingzhou nodded, not objecting.
"It's a good thing that you think this way. You are the leader in the scientific research community, and no one can replace you. Once the family is divided, all your scientific research results belong only to you, and it will be useless for others to be jealous."
Of course, the Cai family had no room for mansions, so the building collapsed in a matter of seconds.
Originally, the Cai family occupied a very important position in scientific research. Ever since Kuanzi's parents got into trouble, no one in the Cai family has been able to take over.
It was not until Kuanzi grew up and showed his talent that everyone knew that the Cai family had a new scientific research star. Although Cai Zhao was also a good candidate, he was not as good as Kuanzi.
That man grew up in Kuanzi's shadow, and his mentality had long since collapsed. Instead of reflecting on himself and stopping his son from going astray in time, the second branch of the Cai family thought that it was Kuanzi who blocked his son's way, and kept biting Kuanzi like a madman.
Jealousy can make a person unrecognizable. The second branch of the family set traps for Kuanzi everywhere, and because their parents did nothing and even condoned them, they became more and more daring, and this time they even wanted to kill Kuanzi.
It's terrifying to think about it carefully. If anything happens to Kuanzi, all his research results will fall on the heads of other people in the Cai family... Grandpa Cai is really confused.
Dai Qing cleaned the yard and saw that both of them looked unhappy. She sighed helplessly.
"A living person can be killed by holding his urine. Instead of being so sad, you might as well just be straightforward and end it all. A lifetime is only 30,000 days. What else do you want to do?"
Sugarcane is not sweet at both ends. You have to give in order to gain.
Besides, given the situation of the Cai family, leaving would be the best way to relieve your worries. If you can really be free of worries and immerse yourself in scientific research, you might even become world-famous.
Unfortunately, Cai Kuan lacked family affection since childhood, and he wanted to cling to any warmth. Although he looked indecisive, he actually longed for family affection in his heart.
But people will change, especially the head of a family, who will be the one who cries subconsciously when there are too many people and too little food.
Cai Kuan has been with his grandfather since he was a child. He understands the difficulties and hard work of Mr. Cai and is a well-behaved, obedient and considerate person.
Unfortunately, Mr. Cai is easily influenced and thinks whoever cries is right.
Just as they were talking, the door was pushed open. Old Cai stood at the door with a cane and a frown on his face, looking at the people sitting in the yard. When he saw the bandages wrapped around Cai Kuan, his face turned pale and he walked quickly forward.
"Xiao Kuan, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Cai Kuan raised his head, looked at his grandfather's worried expression, and pursed his lips.
"I won't die for now."
Being retorted by his grandson neither softly nor harshly, the old man suddenly looked embarrassed and turned to look at Xing Zhou and Dai Qing.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again."
The two of them did not comment on this and simply stood up to leave the space for the grandparents.
Some things have to be faced sooner rather than later.
Dai Qing took out an old hen from the refrigerator and went straight to the kitchen. Xing Zhou followed her and couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Dai Qing stew the old hen skillfully.
"Kuanzi will probably gain a lot of weight after staying with you for a while."
"Old hen soup nourishes the body and blood, and is good for injuries."
Dai Qing said this and turned to look at the yard. It was unknown what the grandfather and grandson said to each other, and both of them looked unhappy.
After the chicken soup was boiled over high heat, Dai Qing turned it to low heat and simmered it. Looking at the grandfather and grandson who had finished their conversation, she directly poured a cup of warm water and placed the medicine in front of Cai Kuan.
"It's time to take medicine."
Mr. Cai watched his grandson drink the medicine with his head tilted back, a flash of heartache in his eyes, and he looked at Dai Qing with eyes full of gratitude.
"Girl, Grandpa doesn't know how to thank you enough."
"When Cai Kuan was injured, he thought of me first. You should understand why, right? As the head of the family, you are very busy, but it is also a dereliction of duty to ignore the safety of your grandson. Whether a family can prosper or not always depends on the most outstanding child. No matter how unwilling others are, they can only become a foil."
"From a family to a society, there is no complete equality. Ability is everything, not just selling sympathy and complaining. Mr. Cai has also been through difficult times, so he should have more experience than us. If you talk too much, it will only make people dislike you."
"But it's absurd enough to make people think that being outside is safer than being at home."
Apart from Cai Kuan, she didn't have a good impression of other people in the Cai family, so naturally she wouldn't be polite to them.
The key is that they are still standing on their own turf.
The family scandal was exposed in front of him. The old man looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth but had nothing to say. Finally, he sighed deeply and turned to look at his grandson.
"You should take good care of yourself first. Grandpa will give you a serious answer in a few days."
Having said that, the old man straightened his body slightly, leaned on his crutches, and walked out of the yard step by step.
This time, no one, whether Dai Qing or Xing Zhou, came to see him off.
The old man stood in the alley, his face pale, and his hand holding the cane couldn't help shaking, which frightened Min Yi enough.
"Master, you are not in good health, please don't get angry. That girl doesn't understand anything. If you get angry with her and make yourself ill, no one will care about Xiaokuan anymore."
"She's right. I failed in my duty. I am not qualified to be the head of the Cai family, nor am I qualified to be Xiao Kuan's grandfather."
The old man took a deep breath and looked back.
"Whose grandson is getting injured right under his grandfather's nose all the time?"
Min Yi choked. The Second Branch was unwilling to be inferior to others, but did not have Xiao Kuan's ability, so they had to resort to some shady means.
"They are just kids jealous of each other..."
Before Min Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man.
"Everyone has grown up and is no longer a child... I am old too."
They dare to act so brazenly. Won't they be even more rampant when he is gone?
The old man narrowed his eyes, revealing a sense of wisdom. Well, a big tree has many branches, and the small branches have many outlets, which may not be a bad thing.
