When the brothers Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle are together, it is usually Zhao Pengbo, the second oldest brother, who makes the decisions.

After hearing what their mother Li Hongyan said, Zhao Pengbo said, "Mom, no one is bullying us here, everything is fine."

After hearing what her son said, Li Hongyan felt relieved as she saw that they were indeed fine.

However, to prevent her sons from putting too much pressure on her, she secretly said, "Mom knows that you work outside just to reduce the burden on the family. To tell you the truth, your grandma is making a lot of money now. Look at how she built your uncle's house and bought all the things for him. No other old man or woman in the village is as good as her."

"Your tuition fees." She looked around, afraid to be overheard, and said, "Don't worry, my second uncle has told me quietly that your grandma will give it to you when school starts."

Zhao Pengbo was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you say that my grandma doesn't care about our affairs, and doesn't care about your life or death."

Li Hongyan clicked her tongue and glared at him: "That's all in the past. How can a biological mother and daughter hold grudges overnight?"

Zhao Pengbo had a confused look on his face. When he heard it, he might have been angry for her. But now, it seemed that his feelings were wasted.

Li Hongyan also said to him: "If you and Pengle fight, will we no longer be brothers?"

Zhao Pengbo looked at Zhao Pengle, and Zhao Pengle also looked at his second brother.

The three sons born to Li Hongyan actually have a very good relationship. If Pengfei has enough money, he will buy delicious food for the younger two. Pengbo knows how to take care of Pengle. Pengle knows that his two brothers take care of him, so he is willing to listen to his eldest and second brothers in everything.

"No." Zhao Pengbo said.

Li Hongyan nodded, "That's the truth. So, when you two are working, don't be so stressed out. Don't work so hard foolishly. If you are tired, go to the toilet a few more times and take a break. Xiaoyu is the boss of the store. She is also your sister. Apart from the store's affairs, she listens to you. Can you let her manage you two?"

Li Hongyan has been acting as the eldest sister for these years. Before her biological mother Chen Xiaoying was reborn, she was a capable person who had her biological parents, as well as her six younger brothers and sisters, under her control.

Being the boss has its own conveniences, and those under her have to listen to her.

However, Zhao Pengbo didn't think he could care about Li Yutong. In his mind, he just needed to take care of his own business, why should he care about her affairs.

Besides, he doesn't know anything about business, so why would he go over and embarrass himself?

"Okay, Mom, we got it." Zhao Pengbo thought so in his heart, but he tried to fool her first.

This guy is very strong-willed. Whatever he says is what he means and he doesn't like being contradicted.

Seeing that her sons were obedient, Li Hongyan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys go in."

"By the way, if anyone bullies you and Xiaoyu doesn't care, come back and tell me, and I'll settle the score with them."

"I know, I know." Zhao Pengbo agreed a little impatiently and took Zhao Pengle in.

In fact, there is not much hard work in a hot pot restaurant. It's just cooking hot pot, drinking tea and chatting with diners. The dining time is relatively long. Their restaurant is usually open until around nine or ten in the evening before closing, so it's a bit of a truce.

They would usually be woken up by the noise downstairs at around five in the morning. It would not be until eight o'clock, when the wholesale of steamed buns was finished, that the noise would die down a bit and they could have some good sleep.

Zhao Pengbo and Zhao Pengle feel pretty good here.

They no longer had to worry about tuition fees, and the two of them felt much more relaxed at work. At least Li Yutong found that Zhao Pengbo smiled more often and liked to talk more.

As the summer vacation passed day by day, Li Yutong was about to report to the provincial university, but Ma Hongxiu, who was abroad, had not returned yet.

She couldn't help but ask her grandmother Chen Xiaoying: "Are you not planning to come back?"

In order to meet this cousin whom she had never met before, Li Yutong made full preparations. However, even though she had made all the arrangements, there was still no news from the other side.

Chen Xiaoying was also thinking about this matter: "I didn't dare to keep asking your aunt. She had prepared everything. The house was spotless. She also learned how to make steak salad. She also learned a few words of English, such as "apple" for apple, "peel" for pear, "yite" for food, "water" for water, and "good morning" for good morning. But there was no news from the other side. I don't know what happened."

Li Yutong just wanted to laugh after hearing this: "Grandma, you learned everything from me."

However, she thought about her own time and said, "I'm leaving soon. I'm afraid that when I'm gone, you two old ladies will suffer from dealing with that side."

These few days, she also took out the relevant provisions and regulations of the inheritance law and gave them to her grandmother to review, so that Ma Hongxiu would not use this to coax her aunt.

Li Yutong didn't know what happened between her aunt and her adopted daughter when they were young, but just because she raised you, her adopted daughter, and sent you abroad to study, and spent so much money, and you have never fulfilled your obligation to support her for a single day, she felt that even if her aunt Su Wanping didn't give Ma Hongxiu a penny, she would have done her part.

Because of the current social environment, let alone an adopted daughter, even if you are a biological daughter, if someone raises you and then you run away to another place and don't come back to see you for more than ten or twenty years, others will say you are an ungrateful person.

What qualifications do you have to come back, take away the old man’s pension money and abandon him?

The grandparents were talking when the phone suddenly rang.

The ring was so sudden that the grandparents and grandchildren were stunned for a moment. Chen Xiaoying answered the phone immediately. It was He Zixuan's voice: "Grandma Chen, is Li Yutong here? Grandma Su's adopted daughter is back. The house is very lively. Do you want to come and see?"

Chen Xiaoying's eyes widened: "It's just what I said. Xiaoyu is here. We'll be there soon."

She hung up the phone, and Li Yutong also heard the news: "My cousin is back?"

Chen Xiaoying's heart was filled with mixed feelings. She had finally arrived at Su Wanping's house. Suddenly, she felt a little hopeful: "Xiaoyu, maybe your aunt in this life is not the same person she was back then. She can be nicer to your aunt."

In her previous life, when Ma Hongxiu came back, her adoptive mother Su Wanping was lying in the hospital and was not feeling well.

In this life, Su Wanping is still fine, and Ma Hongxiu can't do the same thing as in her previous life.

Li Yutong understood her grandmother's psychology. No matter how bad the younger generations were, the elders who had watched them grow up always had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. What if the children admitted their mistakes and corrected them? Then they would still be good children to them.

"Grandma, let's go take a look first."

Wait until you meet the person.

The grandparents rode their bicycles there. In the neighborhood where Su Wanping lived, even the old men and women who were fanning themselves under the wisteria-covered corridor were talking about it.

"A foreigner came. This is the first time I have seen a foreigner in my life."

"It's just that his face is a little dark, and his hair is black. Aren't Americans said to have fair skin and yellow hair?"

"I almost couldn't recognize Ma Hongxiu. She was wearing a headband and had big curly hair. I almost couldn't recognize her."

While they were talking, the grandparents and grandchildren came downstairs, parked their bicycles, and hurried upstairs.
