Elder Yun nodded, "Okay."
...
Xiaoyu's paperwork for going abroad was completed quickly. After spending the New Year with her family, Xiaoyu left under the escort of Young Master Bai.
Old Guan looked at the plane in the sky, tears streaming down his face. He was afraid that if he suddenly died, he would never see this girl again.
Li Mancang patted Old Man Guan on the shoulder and said, "Now that telephones are so convenient, we can contact each other anytime. If you really miss your children, we'll go over there."
Old Man Guan wiped away his tears. "Go by yourself. I'm afraid of dying outside, becoming a ghost, and being bullied by those foreign devils."
Li Mancang... what he said seems to make a lot of sense.
Xiaoyu left, and the most disappointed was Manman. The two girls had been together for over ten years. Now that Xiaoyu was gone, Manman had no one to confide in.
The third son wanted Manman to stay at his house, but Chunni firmly refused. Dabao was going to take the high school entrance exam this year, and one of the only two college students in the family had passed away, leaving only Manman. Chunni insisted on tutoring Dabao so that he could get into high school.
The third brother had no choice but to back down. If Da Bao failed the exam, he was afraid that his second sister-in-law would take her anger out on him, which he couldn't bear.
The second child also takes it very seriously; he bought his own car and commutes home every day to supervise the children's studies.
When the child grew up, Chunni couldn't discipline him anymore, so his father had to do it. He would dip the leather whip in cold water and really lash him.
Ever since the second son came back, screams have been heard from time to time in the courtyard, and the three children have been living a life of misery.
Li Xingguo's little fish, the three children of the third son's family are all particularly afraid of the second son. When the second son is at home, they don't want to go back to the tenement.
Li Mancang was actually happy. It was good that she didn't come back. He had seen enough of the children. His wife was smart; she had things to do and didn't bother him with household chores.
While sitting leisurely in her office, Wu Zhiqi received a call from Sister Liu. Sister Liu had twisted her back and was hospitalized. She missed Wu Zhiqi and asked her to come over and chat with her when she had time.
Wu Zhiqi immediately bought a lot of things and went to the hospital.
Sister Liu lay alone in her hospital bed, looking out the window, with no one beside her.
"Sister Liu"
Sister Liu: "Zhiqiu, you're here? You came pretty quickly, I hope I didn't keep you up."
Wu Zhiqi: "I'm so old, I can't help with anything if I go. I'll just be there to do something. What happened to your back? Is it serious?"
"I'm getting old and useless. I twisted my back just by lifting a little thing and I have to lie in bed for a while," Sister Liu said helplessly.
After moving out of her son's place, Sister Liu has been living alone and doesn't keep in touch with him much.
"You have enough money to live on, so don't work too hard." Sister Liu is a strong-willed woman. In the past few years, she has started her own business and bought two more houses. At her age, she works hard every day, leaving early and returning late.
"I can't do it even if I want to. If I quit, I'll be paralyzed. That would be so humiliating," Sister Liu said with a smile.
Wu Zhiqi: "Your salary isn't bad, it's enough to live on, so how much is too much?"
"Boss Wu, the way you're saying that makes me feel like you're making fun of me," Sister Liu joked.
Wu Zhiqi laughed too. She was talking about others, but she was the most ungrateful one.
"Zhiqiu, I'm not afraid of not having money now, I'm afraid of getting sick. It would be fine if I just suddenly died, but what if I become paralyzed and neither alive nor dead? I can't count on my son anymore, and I won't even have the ability to buy a bottle of rat poison," Sister Liu said dejectedly.
