"The child is going abroad soon, so you should take care of the child." The old lady didn't like to chat; she was too old to talk properly, so she didn't have time for idle chatter.
Dong Yun looked at Xiaoyuer, who clearly didn't want to come. "Mom, come back after I leave and everything's settled at home."
Dong Yun was still reluctant to part with her daughter: "Grandma, I'll come again next week."
The old lady waved her hand and said, "We'll talk about it later."
"Grandma, my brother and I aren't leaving. Can we play here?" Yuanyuan didn't want to leave. She was physically tired here, and mentally tired at home. Plus, they wouldn't let her eat her fill. She figured she might as well stay here; the work would eventually be finished.
"Grandpa, I don't want to go back either," Tuantuan added.
Old lady: "Ask your parents if they'll let you stay here."
"Let them stay here for a few days, Grandma. Let them do any chores they can, so they can lose some weight." The third son immediately agreed, glancing at Youyou. With the children away, he could finally enjoy some alone time with his wife.
Yoyo rolled her eyes. "I'm with my brothers at Great-Grandma's too."
The third son was very pleased; he still had his little darling, who was so considerate.
The three children stayed behind, while everyone else went home.
The third brother drove off first, taking Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi with him.
Li Xingguo's family still had to go out to hail a taxi.
"Dad, when are we going to buy a car?" Xiaoyuer asked, looking at her third uncle's car with some envy.
"I'll buy it when you come back. Dad will drive to pick you up then," Li Xingguo said affectionately to his daughter.
"Great, Dad! Can you take my classmates out for a drive then?" Little Fish asked expectantly.
"Sure, no problem," Li Xingguo readily agreed.
Dong Yun looked at the father and daughter and smiled, "Daughter, your great-grandparents are very rich now. You should learn from your third uncle's family and try to please them. With your success, if you are sweet-talking, you will have more confidence when you study abroad in the future."
"They don't like me, and I don't like them either," Little Fish pouted.
Li Xingguo patted the girl's head. "We're not together every day. I come over occasionally to talk to your great-grandparents about school and your grades. They'll be proud of you. You're doing this for yourself. If you don't fight for it, your great-grandparents might not give you a single penny. Look, Youyou stayed too. Why? Do you really like it here?"
Little Fish pouted. She'd heard her parents talking about it a lot lately, and she knew the old couple were quite wealthy.
"Then aren't my grandparents even richer?"
Li Xingguo: "Yes, you also need to maintain a good relationship with your grandparents."
“My grandpa likes me a lot, but my grandma doesn’t like me that much,” Xiaoyuer said.
“Your grandma treats all of you grandchildren pretty much the same. She only likes your third uncle. He knows how to coax her. So if you say some nice things, your grandma will definitely like you,” Dong Yun chimed in. She had never seen Wu Zhiqi be particularly close to any of his grandchildren.
Li Xingguo didn't say anything. His mother really liked the three children in his second son's family. Back when they didn't have children, his mother treated those three children very well. Now, these younger generations really like Yuanyuan. Although it's not obvious, you can tell from their eyes. When Yuanyuan is being silly, his mother's eyes are full of smiles.
Little Fish nodded. "Yes, I'll try to get closer to them more often in the future."
"That's right, my daughter is the smartest. Who wouldn't like a child like you?" Dong Yun was overjoyed. She and Li Xingguo were not as successful as their second and third sons. Her daughter was the most outstanding among all the children.
A week later, Xiaoyuer went to summer camp. Dong Yun went to the old lady's place every day to make his presence known. He also went to great lengths, buying a lot of sea cucumbers and bird's nests and sending some to the old man and Li Mancang.
Not to be outdone, the third son spent a fortune to buy two massage chairs for both families.
The old man lay in the massage chair, eating tonics, feeling very happy. It's so good to have many children and grandchildren; he can finally enjoy life!
