Liu Cuihua suppressed a laugh, wiped her feet, and put on her shoes. Her elder brother's family needed to handle some family matters, so it wasn't appropriate for them to be there.
Li Mantun and Liu Cuihua wiped the feet of the old man and woman.
The old man stood up hunched over, glanced at Li Xingguo, and said, "This old face of yours, looking at it too much will give me nightmares. Where is my great-grandson Tuantuan? Come here and wash your great-grandfather's eyes."
Tuantuan was doing her homework in the study when she quickly came out and called out, "Grandpa!"
"Come here and let Grandpa admire him. This is the true offspring of our Li family, so handsome!" The old man was very fond of this great-grandson. Despite his young age, he looked calm and mature, with a heart as clear as a sieve, just like him when he was young.
Dong Yun was furious. That old bastard was so sexist! Her little Yu'er was so successful, and the old man didn't even give him a second glance.
The old man and woman came into the house and disgustedly pushed Li Mantun and Liu Cuihua aside.
"Mom and Dad, you're not pretending anymore?" Li Mantun asked with a smile.
"Hmph, you don't understand anything. Hurry up and go back inside. Grandpa Tuantuan will tell you a story." The old man shooed him away like a fly, now that his hearing and eyesight were sharp.
“Okay, Grandpa, tell me more about the famine escape.” Tuantuan loved to hear it. He thought his grandpa’s life was so exciting. At his age, he had no choice but to go out and make his way in the world.
In the living room, the second child came down from the second floor, and Yuanyuan and Youyou were sent to do their homework by the third child.
The little fish chattered excitedly about the differences between international schools and regular schools.
"Grandpa and Grandma, we usually communicate in English. Half of our teachers are foreign teachers. Now my English level is good enough to go abroad for communication without any problems. Last semester I even won the championship in a speech contest. The teachers all think I have a great talent for languages," Xiaoyuer boasted.
Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi had droopy eyelids, the third brother was resting his chin on his hand, and Chunni and the second brother poured out the water from several foot-washing buckets.
"Our little Yu'er's grades are so good, her teachers all say she'll definitely get into a world-renowned university in the future, and she'll definitely be the most promising child in our Li family," Dong Yun echoed her daughter.
"Grandpa and Grandma, I'll take you abroad to live sometime," Little Fish said ingratiatingly.
“Your grandparents have sons and daughters, they don’t have a place to live with you,” Chunni said calmly.
Dong Yun didn't like hearing that. "That's the child's filial piety. Even though he's successful, he doesn't forget his grandparents."
"Mom, what a load of rubbish! Your parents have been living off your brother all these years. We haven't seen you for the past two years. Are you preparing a big surprise for your parents?" Chunni said with a forced smile.
Dong Yun...
With his second and third children at home, his family must know he was in trouble. Li Xingguo didn't hide anything anymore: "Mom and Dad, I'm having some financial problems. I can't pay the children's tuition. Could you lend me some money? I'll pay you back once I've recovered."
"Mom and Dad, we're really at our wits' end. Our child is truly outstanding. He studies very well at school and performs exceptionally well. If he were a disappointing child, we definitely wouldn't have asked him for this favor," Dong Yun said with a fawning smile.
The third brother felt that these words were a veiled insult directed at him.
"Grandpa and Grandma, if I become successful in the future, I will definitely repay the family. I really want to continue studying at the international school. The teachers there are knowledgeable and can broaden my horizons a lot. My classmates' families are also very powerful, and they will be my connections in the future." Xiaoyuer looked at Wu Zhiqi pleadingly. She knew who made the decisions in the family.
Li Xingguo: "Mom and Dad, our child starts from a different point at an international school, and the heights he will reach in the future are beyond our imagination."
Chunni got angry listening to the family of three talking back and forth. Li Xingguo brought the family back to seduce them, saying, "Oh, you're even more arrogant than someone with athlete's foot. It's like your parents don't give you money, so you can't be successful. You kids were born to your parents, so do what you're capable of. You only come back once in eight hundred years, and you're still acting like you're basking in their glory."
Li Xingguo's face darkened. "Chunni, we're talking to Mom and Dad. If you want to listen, then listen; if you don't, then don't interrupt. I'm borrowing from Mom and Dad; it's none of your business."
