Liu Ye smiled and nodded, and instructed Wang Laoer to send them out, leaving only Old Wangtou standing aside anxiously.
As soon as the others left, Old Wang spoke up, "Old woman, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say to call Jun'an over, have the second son and his wife get along well with him, and find a way to make him his son?"
Willow rolled her eyes, "If he could be the second son's son, would I let him go?"
Old Wang was anxious. "Why can't he do it? He's his sister's son, isn't that better than anyone else's son?"
Liu Ye glared at him, "What are you yelling about? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"
Old Wang was timid. "Okay, okay, let's talk it over nicely. Then tell me why Jun'an can't be the second son?"
Liu Ye told Old Wang everything she had said to Wang Laoer and his wife, and then she said, "After the New Year, I'll ask someone to find a young man who doesn't remember much to be his son. He'll be able to be on the same page with Wang Laoer and his wife in the future."
Now that things have come to this, Old Wang has no other objections and can only agree.
On the other side, Jiang Manyue, Lu Lin and Lu Jun'an were sent out by Wang Laoer. Without saying anything, they greeted politely and went home.
After walking a little further, Lu Lin looked back at the tree in the Wang family's yard and said, "The Wang family probably gave up the idea of adopting Jun'an."
Jiang Manyue nodded. "His grandmother's attitude has changed so obviously. At first, she was very affectionate to him. Later, she heard that Jun'an was introverted and difficult to approach, and Jun'an pretended to be silent. She probably thought that Jun'an was old and had a bad temper, and it would be difficult to raise him, so she thought of giving up."
Lu Jun'an stopped pretending and kicked the pebbles on the roadside as he walked, like he was dribbling a football. "So does that mean I don't have to stay at home anymore? Can I go out and play with Brother Jiang Hong and the others?"
Jiang Manyue patted his head and said, "You can go now. I guess your grandma's family won't come to see you again."
Lu Jun'an was happy. He had no feelings for his grandmother's family. He had never met them. He was unhappy at first because he had finally come back to celebrate the New Year, but was trapped at home and couldn't go out. Now he was liberated, and he just wanted to go back and have fun with Jiang Hong and the others.
The three of them returned with their luggage. Li Guifen saw Lu Jun'an coming back with them and asked Jiang Manyue, "Why did Jun'an come back with you? Didn't his grandmother say that his grandfather was sick and wanted him to stay for a few more days?"
Jiang Manyue sent Lu Junan out to play and told Li Guifen what she saw at Wang's house.
"His grandfather isn't sick at all. I guess Aunt Liuye wanted to trick Jun'an back home before, but his family probably doesn't want Jun'an as a son anymore. Aunt Liuye didn't even let Jun'an stay and just let him come back with us."
Li Guifen didn't understand and asked, "Why don't you want Jun'an anymore? How did you know?"
"I guessed it. On the way there, Aunt Liuye thought Jun'an didn't like to talk, so I told her that Jun'an has been like this since he was a child and doesn't like to interact with people. It took me several months to talk to him after I got married. Aunt Liuye was not very happy at the time."
"I guess their family was thinking about quickly building a good relationship with Jun'an so that he would be willing to live with them. But they didn't expect Jun'an to be so difficult to approach, so they backed out halfway."
"Later, Aunt Liuye asked Jun'an if he wanted to have parents like everyone else. Jun'an said he had an uncle and an aunt. Aunt Liuye then said she wasn't talking about an uncle or an aunt, she was talking about mom and dad. She asked Jun'an if he wanted to have parents, and Jun'an said, "My parents are dead." Aunt Liuye was speechless."
Li Guifen burst into laughter when she heard this. She could even imagine Liu Ye's expression when she was left speechless.
"From that moment on, Aunt Liu Ye wasn't so enthusiastic about Jun'an. Later, when we arrived at the Wang family's house, she went into the house with the second son and his wife and said something. I guess she said Jun'an wasn't suitable to be their son. After she came out, she asked Lu Lin and me to take Jun'an away quickly, saying that it would be dark if we were late."
Li Guifen laughed even harder. "Liu Ye is such a liar! Wasn't it not long after lunch when you went there? You were afraid it would get dark after sitting for a while. Doesn't it get dark at three o'clock in her house?"
Jiang Manyue also laughed, "I don't want Jun'an to be my son anymore, so why would I ask us to stay for dinner? I'll definitely chase us away, for fear that we'll have to keep some food for dinner."
Li Guifen was very happy. The Wang family finally decided not to take advantage of their Jun'an, and she no longer had to worry.
"By the way, Mom, Lu Lin and I plan to take the child back to my mom's house the day after tomorrow to show them. My brother and sister-in-law are eager to see our Jun and Jun Ping. We were supposed to go back tomorrow, the second day of the New Year, but my brother and sister-in-law have gone back to their parents' home, and there's no one at home, so we'll go back on the third day."
It was just a matter of changing the date from the second day of the Lunar New Year to the third day, and the Jiang family was so close, just a short walk away. Li Guifen agreed immediately, "Okay, give them some extra clothes so they don't get cold on the way."
"Don't worry, Mom. It's just two steps. They won't be cold. They're both wearing thick clothes."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin each held a child and went to the Jiang family with Lu Jun'an.
The Jiang family was very fond of the twins, especially pregnant Chen Li and Liu Liping, whose hearts softened when they saw the children.
Miao Xianghua was already fond of the twins, so he pulled Jiang Manyue aside to ask about the Wang family.
"Then the Wang family didn't come again?"
Jiang Manyue told her mother what happened on New Year's Day and also shared her guesses.
Miao Xianghua nodded after hearing this. "I feel the same way. I guess the Wang family thinks Jun'an is too old and has a good relationship with the Lu family. They can't raise him well, so they don't want him anymore."
Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "It's almost certain. Anyway, the Wang family shouldn't be thinking about Jun'an anymore. We'll be back in Yunzhou in a few days, and they won't be able to think about him even if they want to."
When Miao Xianghua heard that they would be returning to Yunzhou in a few days, he immediately forgot about the matters concerning Old Wang's family.
"Are you leaving in a few days? Why don't you stay home for a few more days? You've just come back and you're leaving again. When will you be back next time? Will it be during the Chinese New Year next year?"
Miao Xianghua was a little reluctant to let go. She hadn't seen the girl for the whole year last year, and she had a lot of things to do at home and couldn't get away. It was the first time she saw her grandson, who was half a year old.
Next year, the fourth and fifth sons’ wives will both be giving birth, and there will be more things to do at home. I probably won’t be able to see the girls for another whole year.
Jiang Manyue quickly comforted her mother, "Mom, I was giving birth last year and couldn't come back. This year, when Jun'an has summer vacation, I will bring him and the twins back to live with me for a while."
Miao Xianghua was happy when she heard this. She would come back during the summer vacation and stay for a while. She could also catch up with her two sisters-in-law giving birth to their children and celebrate the baby's full moon.
