Although Qian Jincai didn't work properly and couldn't handle any responsibilities, he still had some filial piety towards his parents. Seeing his mother crying, he felt so distressed that he helped old lady Qian up from the ground. He glared at Qian Niandi and scolded her, "You damn girl, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for treating your grandma like this?"
Qian Niandi was not to be outdone and retorted, "Which eye of yours saw me hit her? I was just protecting myself! Don't think you can bully me just because you have more people. I know my parents send a lot of money to your family. Now that my parents are in trouble, you treat their child like this?"
When Old Lady Qian heard Qian Niandi mention the money sent by the second son and his wife, she responded confidently, "Your parents don't come back all year, so it's only natural for them to send us some money to show their filial piety. Besides, we're helping them take care of the trees. Is it your right, a little girl, to complain about this?"
Qian Niandi said, "I don't want to argue with you. I just want to leave your Qian family as soon as possible. No wonder my parents don't want to come back. You are a family without feelings. You only care about money."
Qian Jincai retorted, "Don't look at you as a city dweller, you're not sensible or polite. We don't have any feelings for each other, we only care about money. Have you three sisters been paid a penny for your food and lodging at home these days? If you weren't from the Qian family, we would have kicked you out on the street long ago."
Qian Niandi also got excited and said, "I don't need you to chase me away. I'll leave on my own. I'll also take my two brothers with me so that I don't have to be annoying here."
Then, she said to Sun Xiaohao behind her, "Xiaoshu, go pack your clothes in your bag. I'll pick up Xiaofei, and we'll go back to grandma's house."
Old Madam Qian stopped Qian Niandi from entering the house: "If you want to leave, go on your own. Don't take my precious grandson with you. You, a money-loser, want to kidnap my grandson? Who knows if you're planning to sell them off along the way?"
Qian Niandi retorted unyieldingly, "Don't worry, he's my own brother. I treat him better than you do. If the child stays here, he'll be wasted. Just like your eldest grandson, who drugged family members in the middle of the night and even tried to violate my cousin. He's simply a beast."
Qian Niandi was so angry that she finally told the secret that she had been holding in her heart.
This sentence touched the sore spot of the Qian family mother and son. Old Mrs. Qian started to curse at Qian Niandi again: "You shameless little slut, you don't even care about your dignity in order to destroy my eldest grandson? I'll teach you a lesson, I'll teach you a lesson..."
At this time, Old Lady Qian raised her two hands like a madman and started scratching Qian Niandi's face with her claws. Qian Niandi wanted to resist with the shovel in her hand, but Qian Jincai, who was standing next to her, was quick-witted and snatched the shovel away, and kicked Qian Niandi hard in the stomach.
Qian Niandi lost her balance and fell to the ground. The severe pain in her stomach made her cry.
Sun Xiaohao stepped forward to support Qian Niandi and asked with concern, "Sister, how are you? Does it hurt?"
Then, he turned back to Old Lady Qian and Qian Jincai and pleaded, "Grandma, Dad, please stop beating my sister. She wants to go back to grandma's house, so just let her go! She's wasting food here and making you angry, so just let her go!"
Old Lady Qian glanced at her darling grandson, her anger subsided a little, and she said, "It's best that the boy is loyal to our family, unlike that money-losing child who is so treacherous and doesn't know what's good for him! Come, darling grandson, come to grandma. Don't bother with her. Let her go and go wherever she wants!"
Sun Xiaohao stood up obediently, walked to Old Lady Qian, and coaxed her sweetly: "Grandma, don't be angry. I'd be heartbroken if you got sick from being angry. But now my sister said she would take me and my brother to grandma's house, and I want to go and see it too. Can I go with her?"
I'll be back in a few days at my grandma's house. I still have school to go to here, so I won't stay at my grandma's house for too long!"
Old Mrs. Qian held Sun Xiaohao in her arms, smiled at him, and said, "Grandma is reluctant to let you go. Grandma's home is too far away, and the journey is very tiring. It would be nice for you to stay at grandma's house. Don't worry, even if your parents don't give you living expenses, grandma won't let you worry about food and clothing!"
Sun Xiaohao was unwilling to give up and said, "Grandma, please let me go with my sister. Please, I'm counting on you." Xiaoshu knew that grandma was the most reasonable and considerate person.
I heard that my grandma has a car, so when I want to come back, I can ask my uncle to drive me back!"
Old Mrs. Qian was amused by Sun Xiaohao's honey-smeared little mouth and grinned, and her anger subsided a lot.
Sun Xiaohao pressed the issue and continued, "Xiaofei is still young. It's too troublesome to take care of him. He cries all the time. He must be used to staying at grandma's house and is not used to our home. It's a good opportunity to send him to grandma's house. Then grandma can coax him and buy him milk powder.
Grandma, this is great! It can save you money and you don’t have to worry about him all day. Grandma, you and Grandpa are old now. You should enjoy your retirement. You can’t let yourself be exhausted by taking care of me and my brother.
Sun Xiaohao talked a lot and quickly convinced Old Lady Qian, who nodded and agreed to let Qian Niandi take Qian Longfei away, but she was still reluctant to let Sun Xiaohao go.
Sun Xiaohao continued, "Grandma, I know you can't bear to leave me, and I can't bear to leave you and Grandpa either, so I'll go and see you, get acquainted with your family, and then come back.
If you are really worried, just let Daddy take us there. He is an adult, and nothing will happen with him around!"
Since her precious grandson said so, it was not easy for Old Lady Qian to stop her grandson Xiaohao from going to the Zhan family in Jiangyuan City.
In addition, Mrs. Qian had another consideration. Through recent events at home, Mrs. Qian finally realized her mistake, which was to protect her eldest son Qian Jincai too well, so that he was still unable to take on responsibilities in his middle age.
Just as "Xiaoshu" said, his son is an adult now, so letting him go to Zhan's house is, firstly, to ensure the safety of the two grandsons, and secondly, to let the eldest son gain some experience.
Qian Jincai has hardly ever traveled far since he grew up. From Luojiagou to Mafang City is his maximum range of activities.
Old Mrs. Qian believed that her eldest son could not continue to live like this. He must go out and see the world, try his luck, and gain some experience. Only then could he take on the responsibility when something happened in the future.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Qian said to Qian Jincai, "Big Boss, Xiaoshu's idea is good. You should also come with us to the Zhan family and send our two grandsons to their home safely. Then bring Xiaoshu back in two days.
I'll go to school and ask for a few days off for him. The teacher said Xiaoshu is already very proficient in first grade knowledge, so he can go to school for a few days."
