Auntie Qin spotted Qin Xiaoyu immediately and rushed over.
"Little fish! Little fish is back! Where are the children?"
"The child is too young, so I didn't bring him." Qin Xiaoyu hugged her third aunt. She looked good; her relationship with her maternal grandmother had improved recently, and she had nothing to be angry about. Her health was also much better than before.
"Sister-in-law" Xiaoyu's mother stepped forward. Her third aunt hadn't recognized her, mainly because she never expected that she would come with Xiaoyu.
"Oh my! Big sister? Why did you come back together?" Third Aunt recognized the person beside her as Little Fish's mother and exclaimed in surprise, turning around and waving frantically at the pavilion, "Mom! Come quick!"
Grandma recognized Qin Xiaoyu right away, but she was too lazy to pay attention to her and didn't give her a friendly look. She turned her face away while picking vegetables, and even stole a few glances at her.
Hearing his aunt's scream, he realized something was wrong. He squinted and looked closely, then suddenly it dawned on him. He froze, too stunned to move, and the bunch of vegetables in his hand fell to the ground.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Xiaoyu's mother staggered forward and threw herself into her grandmother's arms. The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly.
When Xiaoyu's mom came back last time, we had a bad chat because we both had unresolved issues.
The women in this family are all quite stubborn. Xiaoyu's maternal grandmother has always blamed Qin Xiaoyu for her daughter's misfortunes, so over the years, she has taken her anger out on her whenever she has the chance.
Later, having received many favors from Xiaoyu, he felt embarrassed and refused to say anything conciliatory.
When her daughter left in a huff last time, she thought she would never see her again in this life, and she was filled with sorrow. Now that she has seen her daughter, what else is there to say? The clouds in the sky have all dispersed.
Since there were many people in the group, they decided to eat at Building 4 that evening. Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei came back first to make arrangements. As the car turned into the courtyard, they saw a profusion of flowers. Grandpa Hanhan hadn't been idle; he had kept the courtyard beautifully tidy.
As agreed, this time we'll take him directly to Guangzhou, and he's making the most of every minute to tend to the garden.
"Fourth Brother's chef is gone?" Qin Xiaoyu noticed the problem as soon as she went to check on the kitchen.
“There are fewer people in the family now, so there’s no need for anyone to cook. Anyone who has time can cook. Anyway, we’re all family. Tang Hu’s mother and Sister-in-law Ge do a lot of work. My time is unpredictable, so I can’t count on them,” the cousin-in-law said apologetically.
"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. You've been busy all day, and we're counting on you to take care of everything. I'll just do my part. I'm not very bright, but this is all I'm good at, so let me do it." Tang Hu's mother is quite different now; she speaks humbly and politely.
"Sister-in-law, I think Tang Hu's grades are pretty good. He's got a satisfactory major now, he's worked really hard." Qin Xiaoyu has been keeping in touch with Tang Hu. He goes to Guangzhou during his holidays to study with Xu Jingye for a while, which he considers an internship.
"Isn't that because you taught him well? You're really amazing. I heard that troublemaker Lisheng has become a big boss." Tang Hu's mother was very curious and asked again, "What can he do? He's probably just bragging, right?"
Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to briefly explain Lisheng's situation, and they were still skeptical.
While preparations were still underway, two cars arrived in the yard, and Zhu Bao directed people to carry things into the house.
"Fourth Brother called and said you were coming back, but he was worried you wouldn't want to come to the store, so he asked me to send it over," Zhu Bao explained.
"Qi Si is becoming more and more meticulous," praised his cousin-in-law.
"I heard you and Tian Tian got married? You didn't even tell me. I'm going to complain." Qin Xiaoyu said to Zhu Bao in a huff.
"The baby's one-month celebration is coming up soon, come and have a meal." Zhu Bao's rosy little face immediately turned red.
Qin Xiaoyu took a moment to call Hanhan's grandfather aside, at Tang Wenwen's suggestion, without calling him about Hanhan's grandmother. It was better to explain gradually.
"Dad, I have something to tell you. Be prepared." Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to take on this role either, but she had no choice.
"Did something happen to that old woman? I dreamt about her the other day. She said she was going to a good place and would never see me again." Grandpa Hanhan rubbed his eyes.
"Yes, she's gone." Qin Xiaoyu and Tang Wenwen had agreed to cover up the unpleasant details and simply say that she died of a brain hemorrhage.
"Fine, she's not young anymore. She brought this on herself." Grandpa Han sighed, stood up, and for some reason, the man who had been so robust just moments before suddenly seemed to collapse. It turned out that he cared about everything he said he didn't.
"Madam said she wants you to come back with us; she misses you." Qin Xiaoyu quickly relayed Madam's message, hoping to give Grandpa Hanhan some support.
"Okay, I'll go. I don't want to stay here anymore. You're a really nice guy, Zhou Dada?"
“My father is doing well and misses you. He hopes you can come over soon. If you can’t bear to leave this garden, we can hire someone to take care of it.”
"No need to hire anyone, Xiao Liu's parents can take over." It turns out that Hanhan's grandfather had already made arrangements.
Xiao Liu has already transferred to civilian work and is now the security team leader at his cousin's factory, where he's living a very comfortable life. His parents have also gotten used to living here and consider it their own home.
The food was already on the table when Grandma Xiaoyu and her group finally arrived.
Since ancient times, maternal grandmothers have always favored their grandsons. Little Fish's maternal grandmother held onto Fu Heng tightly and wouldn't let go, showing her endless love for him.
This was her first time meeting Fu Yongnian. This son-in-law was really ugly. But then she thought, what good is it that Xiaoyu's father is handsome? Her heart was rotten.
My third uncle went out to buy supplies and is not in the city, so there is one less person.
Auntie San had something on her mind, and when no one was around, she whispered it to Qin Xiaoyu.
It turned out that news of Xiao Ye's mother's death had already reached them. More than a dozen of her family members came, pried open the door, broke in, and took away everything they could carry, almost like ransacking the house.
"They even brought half a pack of toilet paper. After they all left, I went into the house and was heartbroken," my third aunt sighed.
"They went to Shanghai and took all the valuables with them. What could they possibly have left? These people are so short-sighted," Qin Xiaoyu sighed.
"That's right. I thought that even though the house is empty, people can't just come and go as they please, so I put a lock on it and locked it again. I guess your father won't be able to come back, so you should take the house back." Auntie was thinking of Qin Xiaoyu's best interests.
"Don't accept it. Who can say for sure what will happen to them? They're all courting death. They can't stay still as long as they have a breath left. Let them be." Qin Xiaoyu doesn't need this house.
Because Qin Xiaoyu was back, Aunt Wang, unusually, gave her face and came over for a meal. While this might be acceptable to others, Xiaoyu's grandmother had something on her mind and asked about it right at the dinner table.
"Last time you said they were bringing me bad luck..." Grandma Xiaoyu winked and glanced in the direction of Third Aunt, who was so frightened that she lowered her head.
"Originally, your family had a problem with feng shui, because the yang energy was too strong. Now that you've found a daughter, the yin and yang are in balance, so naturally the yin energy is no longer attracted and has long since dissipated. There's nothing to be afraid of." Granny Wang was a tinkerer, and there was nothing she couldn't mend, so she explained it clearly.
