"Grandpa, to be honest, I've felt very comfortable since I entered this house."
“Everything about the house is great, but Grandma Kang and I don’t get along. At first, I wondered if it was because we had just arrived and Grandma Kang wasn’t used to having unfamiliar people in the house.”
"Later I realized that it wasn't that I wasn't used to it, she just didn't like me. She was very polite to Baichuan, but she found all sorts of things disagreeable about me."
“My family spoils me. I know I have a bad temper and sometimes I speak too harshly, but I later realized that she looked down on me.”
“I thought she was doing it for Baichuan’s own good, that I was from the countryside and not good enough for Baichuan. But when I told her my true identity, she got even more agitated and started siding with Qi Bowen in every way.”
"I also heard that she used to be a nurse and knows about nursing, but those meals are not what pregnant women should eat. I don't believe she didn't do it on purpose."
"Grandpa, I'm scared. I don't want to hand over what I put in my mouth to someone who doesn't like me."
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Suti felt that this was the best opportunity to get rid of Old Madam Kang.
She didn't say anything fancy; she simply told her grandfather her thoughts honestly.
The more she spoke, the more Marshal Li frowned, especially when she said her last words, "I'm afraid" and "I'm worried."
He suddenly recalled how, when Qi Bowen was at home, Comrade Kang spoke to him gently and treated him like royalty.
But she wasn't that close to the two children. Well, Qi Bowen was someone she had watched grow up.
She might still harbor resentment towards the two children; he has no good impression of anyone associated with Qi Bowen.
Plus, Su Yatou said she was in charge of the entrance to a restaurant, so I couldn't trust her no matter how I looked at it.
"Don't worry, Su girl, Grandpa will dismiss Comrade Kang tomorrow." Marshal Li felt this was no big deal.
Suti: "..."
Grandpa has forgotten that he and that person got a marriage certificate; she's not the family's nanny.
"Dad, have you forgotten? The Kang family used to take care of you." Qi Feng knew from his father's expression that he had forgotten about it.
If she were just a regular nanny, Su Yatou wouldn't need to say so much.
"Oh, it's her!" Marshal Li finally remembered who this person was.
When he was injured and recuperating in the hospital, the organization had been quite critical of him for not having anyone to take care of him.
He didn't want to get married, but his superiors kept urging him to. It was alright when the war was intense, but whenever he had a break, they kept asking about his marriage.
Finally, he got annoyed and discussed it with Comrade Kang. They agreed to just get the marriage certificate and keep everything else the same.
This has been the case all these years; to him, she was no different from the nanny sent by the organization to take care of him.
A while ago, she fainted after arguing with Su Yatou, and he was thinking about how to resolve this problem.
It's ultimately inconvenient for an outsider to be part of their family.
"Su girl, is she putting on airs in front of you?" This was the first thing Marshal Li thought of.
Su Yatou is the kind of person who can't tolerate even the slightest imperfection, but she has a magnanimous personality. As long as you don't provoke her, she's definitely not the type to go looking for trouble.
"She is my grandfather's daughter after all... Anyway, she initially thought I was from the countryside and looked down on me a lot."
"Also, she watched Qi Bowen grow up, so she definitely wouldn't welcome Baichuan's arrival, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken up for them yesterday."
"I had a conflict with her as soon as I arrived, and I don't think we'll get along well in the future. Grandpa, I'm thinking that we have quite a few rooms in the house, so why don't Baichuan and I move out?"
Suti was unsure of her grandfather's attitude towards Grandma Kang, but she was certain it wasn't as important as theirs.
"Don't say that again. What are you moving out of here? This is your home. Even if you want to move out in the future, you absolutely cannot have to move because something in your home is making you unhappy."
“This is your home, and you should never have to back down. Besides, my relationship with Comrade Kang is not what you think.”
Marshal Li used to think this matter was unimportant and just said a few words casually, but now he feels that he needs to explain it clearly in detail so that the two children don't have any lingering resentment.
Marshal Li recounted the agreement he made with Old Madam Kang back then. At that time, Old Madam Kang's husband had also died, and she was a widow raising her child alone.
In those turbulent times, even a decent job wasn't enough to support a family.
Even if it's a fake marriage, she'll never have to worry about the future if she marries Marshal Li. How could she possibly refuse?
As the old marshal's position rose higher and higher over the years, her life also improved, even if the old marshal didn't help her children.
However, they also benefited a lot from her marriage to the old marshal, and the old marshal turned a blind eye to many things.
As long as you don't cross his bottom line, he won't interfere. Just like when he first arrived, he told Su Yatou and the others to call her Grandma Kang.
She doesn't have the surname Kang because he feels she has always been a member of the Kang family. She bore children for the Kang family, and even if she dies, she should be buried in the Kang family cemetery. The title of Old Madam Li has never been hers.
In this household, she was no different from a nanny; she received the same monthly salary, as had been agreed upon from the beginning.
Apart from the Li family, everything else is irrelevant to her. If Su doesn't like her, then there's no need for her to stay.
He's already this age; we can't keep pressuring him to get married.
“Grandpa, she won’t accept it so easily.” Suti listened as his grandfather carefully recounted his story with Grandma Kang.
Hearing that he would go to register for divorce tomorrow, she felt that Old Mrs. Kang would go crazy, and if she made a scene, it would be the Li family who would be embarrassed.
Their biological mother was driven away, their adopted son was abandoned, and now even Old Madam Kang has been driven away. No matter how right they are, others will only think that they are intolerant of others.
They might also think the old marshal was too ruthless, being completely charmed by his newly arrived grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
Suti could imagine how bad the Li family's reputation would become in the compound in the future.
Even if I dare not say much because of my grandfather's status, the reputation that the old man has fought for all his life is not to be ruined by these unworthy people.
"Whether she accepts it or not is not up to her. Don't worry, Su girl, I will make her leave willingly, and I will make sure that outsiders can't find fault with her."
The old marshal immediately understood what Su was worried about, and he nodded in satisfaction.
This girl is really good at thinking a hundred steps ahead; I don't know how she can think so much at such a young age.
I'll have to ask Old Man Guo properly next time how he raised such a child.
Thinking of this girl's brother, he is also an outstanding person and will definitely be able to support the Guo family in the future. He is not as good as the Guo family in raising children.
Whether they are biological children or not, they have all been ruined.
Thinking of this, he stopped treating the girl like a child and revealed his plans.
