"Hanghang, how do you know so much?" Lin Guihua couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Fang Fang, who was usually so arrogant and pretentious, sitting on the ground crying and making a scene.
"I found out by accident," Liu Yihang said with a mysterious smile.
Lin Guihua did not ask any further questions.
"Dong-ge, don't be sad. What does it matter if they're not your biological children? They've never been good to us anyway. Now that we're free of responsibility, I feel so much lighter," Lin Guihua comforted Liu Xiangdong, seeing him remain silent.
"That's right, Dad. It's better for our family to live a good life together than anything else."
"Our family will settle down in Tianzhou City in the future, and we'll buy a big house with a large garden." Liu Yihang felt that everything was so beautiful and unreal.
This is something he never dared to dream of in his previous life.
“Okay, as long as we’re a family together, that’s better than anything else,” Liu Xiangdong replied.
In their past life, Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua worked tirelessly at home. After Liu Zhuzi and Ge Cuihua grew old, Lin Guihua took care of them, making tea, cooking, cleaning up their excrement, and showing them warmth and care.
The other two companies only ever talk a good game.
Both families eventually bought houses in the city and settled far away, for fear of having to support their elderly parents.
None of the grandsons were filial; they were all selfish. They swindled money from Ge Cuihua and left the elderly couple in the care of Liu Xiangdong and his wife.
Even so, Liu Xiangdong and his wife did not receive a single word of thanks from Ge Cuihua and Liu Zhuzi. Instead, they felt that since they had raised Liu Xiangdong, it was all their due.
They eat at their house, drink at their house, but all they talk about all day is how successful Dacheng, Dahai, and Xiaohai are, how much money they make, and how many great-grandchildren they have.
Lin Guihua was annoyed by what she heard. They were really senile and didn't even realize who was supporting them.
Lin Guihua's inherent kindness led her to insist on taking care of the two of them until their deaths.
He would never let his parents do such thankless work again in his life. They finally escaped the clutches of that crazy old woman, Ge Cuihua.
They won't have a good ending. The second and third sons were raised to be selfish and self-centered from a young age.
He waited to see Ge Cuihua and Liu Zhuzi's later years turn out to be miserable.
After the interruption, Liu Xiangdong felt much better.
"Okay, let's work hard to earn money, buy a big house, and marry a goddess for Hanghang," Lin Guihua joked.
Speaking of celestial beings, Liu Yihang thought of Yunyin, whom he hadn't seen for many days, and wondered if she had gone to Tianzhou City.
She had visited the barbecue stall a few times before, but because he was busy with his work, the two of them didn't get to talk much.
Having lived through a lifetime, Liu Yihang is now very mature. He understands that young love cannot last a lifetime if it is not based on feelings alone.
If you want to attract butterflies, start by growing good flowers.
He wanted to become the best version of himself first, so that he could greet the best people with his best self.
Instead of spouting unrealistic empty talk when you have nothing.
He looked down on himself even in that state, let alone Yunyin.
The three walked along the dirt road for about twenty minutes and arrived at Liu Yihang's maternal grandparents' house.
They plan to spend the night here and head to Zhoushan tomorrow.
Before leaving, Lin Guihua also wanted to visit her parents. Qingshan Village no longer had a home for them, and she didn't know when she would be able to return.
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were startled to see their daughter and son-in-law suddenly return with their grandson.
Knowing that they hadn't eaten yet, Lin's mother hurried to the kitchen to make them noodles.
This afternoon, Lin's eldest sister-in-law received a call from Lin Dazhi in the village and has already rushed to Zhoushan.
The family consists of Lin's parents and their grandson Lin Wu, who will be starting school soon.
Ever since Liu Yihang arrived, this cousin has been looking at him with admiration.
"Xiao Wu, why are you looking at me like that?" Liu Yihang touched his face, wondering if there was anything dirty there.
Lin Wu's eyes were bright and sparkling, like those of a pug.
"Brother Hang, did you really get into Tianzhou University? Can I see your acceptance letter?"
Students were particularly sensitive to this news, which spread throughout the entire town of Lushui. It was said that a boy surnamed Liu from Qingshan Village had been admitted to Tianzhou University.
Lin Wu thought to himself, "In Qingshan Village, the only person with the surname Liu who is in his senior year of high school is my cousin. My aunt said that he has always been one of the top students and was specially admitted to the best high school in Zhoushan City."
That must be him.
My cousin got into Tianzhou University; he can brag about it for the rest of his life.
Thinking about how much his cousin had suffered for his studies and how well he excelled in his studies, yet the Liu family wouldn't even pay for his tuition, Lin Wu felt indignant on Liu Yihang's behalf.
Getting into Tianzhou University is such a glorious thing!
If it were him, his father would probably invite the entire village to a feast, and the family genealogy would have to be rewritten for him.
Liu Yihang took his admission notice out of the plastic bag and handed it over: "Take a look."
Lin Wu carefully took it.
"How beautiful! Is this the admission letter from Tianzhou University?" he murmured to himself.
Liu Xiangdong's maternal grandfather, who had been talking to him, also came over quickly, looking excitedly at the admission notice.
"Great! Hanghang is doing well! You must be filial to your parents in the future. They went through so much trouble to help you with your studies." Grandpa said excitedly, holding Liu Yihang's hand.
“I know, Grandpa.”
Grandpa wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and took out a wrapped handkerchief from the inside pocket of his clothes.
Unfolding the handkerchief revealed a neat stack of coins, folded perfectly without a single wrinkle.
"Hanghang, take this. It's a small token of our appreciation from your grandma and me." Grandpa must have prepared the money a long time ago, waiting for him to come over.
"Grandpa, I don't want it. I can earn money myself now. It's not easy for you to earn money. Please take it back." Liu Yihang pushed his hand back.
Uncle Lin called this afternoon and explained the situation in general. They knew that Liu Yihang was running a small business and had raised enough money for tuition, but they didn't know the exact amount.
"Take it. It's better to be frugal on the road than poor. Grandpa can't afford any more. Don't be offended." Grandpa Lin forcefully stuffed it into his pocket.
Liu Xiangdong also came over to persuade him to take it back, but the old man argued until his face turned red and he insisted on giving it to him, saying that not giving it to him would be disrespecting him.
Liu Yihang had no choice but to accept this heavy token of love. For the first time, he felt that money was burning hot, yet it also felt warm to the touch.
After everyone finished looking at the admission notices, Lin's mother and Lin Guihua brought out three bowls of noodles.
"Xiangdong, Hanghang, come and eat noodles!"
"I was short on time, so I just made some tomato and egg noodles. You must be hungry, right?" Grandma's voice was very kind.
"I'm hungry, Grandma, it smells so good!" Liu Yihang took it without hesitation and started stuffing it into his mouth.
"Eat more if you're hungry. There's still some in the pot. Grandma will cook more if you're still hungry."
Although there weren't many seasonings, Grandma's tomato and egg noodles had a natural, loving flavor that made them incredibly delicious.
