When he grasped their hands, Marshal Li's eyes were full of reassurance.
"It's not your fault, Grandpa never blames you." Marshal Li just couldn't get over this in his own heart.
But he never regretted what he had done; he just felt that the last child of the Li family was about to be gone.
Now only Baichuan is left, and it's fortunate that Baichuan is still here. If he hadn't discovered it, and Li Ci had passed away, then everything would truly be gone.
"Grandpa, if only she hadn't gone to the countryside." What Suti really meant was that she wished she hadn't chosen this path.
Perhaps if they could get along well, Grandpa wouldn't be so upset.
“There are no ‘what ifs’ in this world. Grandpa knows what kind of person she is. There’s no such ‘what if.’ She clearly knows that as long as she begs for mercy, she won’t be tortured.”
"But she would rather drive herself crazy than compromise. What she insists on is the thing I can never understand in my life."
"Grandpa was good at everything in his life, except he was a failure when it came to raising his children, but thankfully he has you all."
"You must not take the blame; the fault has never been yours."
"Grandpa is just getting old. These things couldn't defeat me before, but now I can't deny that I'm getting old!"
As Marshal Li spoke, his pace slowed down. Seeing this, Su Ti quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
"Grandpa, don't get agitated. You must take good care of your health now and not punish yourself for other people's mistakes."
“The babies are still waiting for their great-grandfather to hold them. It’s good that they are like this now. They are still alive and will not suffer anymore.”
Suti felt a pang of sadness watching her grandfather struggle to persuade them.
"That's right, it's good as it is now." Marshal Li looked at Su Ti's belly and finally smiled.
The old marshal's illness came on very suddenly, and he stayed in the hospital for a week before being discharged.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan took turns taking leave to stay with the old marshal. After the old marshal recovered, the whole family had lost weight.
Qi Feng, in particular, felt very oppressed at home lately, as everything depended on him.
Work, family, and mental stress combined have caused me to lose a significant amount of weight.
Looking at his children, Marshal Li slowly rallied; they still needed to live well.
Some people should be punished for their mistakes, and they are not worth worrying about.
"Grandpa, my grandma and the others arrived today. Baichuan went to pick them up, so I asked them to come over here first for a family reunion dinner."
Su Ti didn't hide the Li family's affairs from her family. This time, her mother accompanied her grandmother, as no one else could get time off work.
Suti was supposed to come over to give birth, but after the old marshal repeatedly instructed her, the Guo family did not all come.
But Grandma is old and we don't feel comfortable letting her come alone. Guo Xuqing also misses her daughter, so she came along after such a big incident at home.
"Of course, we should definitely have a get-together since our in-laws are here." Upon hearing this, Marshal Li hurriedly instructed the family's housekeeper to prepare the meal.
Commander Guo knew about this and made several phone calls, although he didn't mention it explicitly.
But the old marshal knew he was trying to comfort him; his collapse startled everyone.
When Li Baichuan picked up the man, the old marshal and Qi Feng were already waiting at the door.
"Old Marshal, there's no one else here. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so hurry back to your room and rest." Old Mrs. Guo and Guo Xuqing got out of the car and rushed over when they saw the people at the door.
They came by train this time, and although they were the ones who had traveled a long way, the old marshal looked even worse than they did.
"It's nothing serious. I'm just really tired from lying here. I'm sorry to have troubled you to make this trip. This is something that should have been done by our family."
The old marshal saw the two carrying large and small bags and knew that if there were a woman in their family, these things would be the man's family's responsibility.
"What are you saying? Nannan isn't someone else's child. We're taking care of her willingly."
Grandma Guo didn't think so. She was happy to be able to take care of Nannan, because she always felt that her Nannan was suffering.
While exchanging pleasantries with the old marshal and the others, Guo Xuqing carefully observed her daughter.
She's lost weight, but her complexion is still okay, so she probably hasn't suffered any injustice. Sigh, the Li family is great in every way, except for that one troublesome mother.
The family went inside and had dinner in a peaceful atmosphere. After dinner, they chatted for a while before Suti led his people back to their residence.
The old marshal knew that the mother and daughters must have something to say to each other since they hadn't seen each other for so long, and he was also very worried about Su Yatou's big belly.
Now that his in-laws have come, he can feel much more at ease.
After Xiao Liu dropped everyone off at home, Guo Xuqing took her daughter's hand and asked anxiously, "Nannan, are you alright?"
She had so many questions to ask, but when the time came, she didn't know what to ask first.
"Grandma, Mom, please sit down and rest. I'm fine." Su Ti helped the people sit down.
Li Baichuan took the things from their hands, left them alone, and went into the next room to tidy up the place for his grandmother and the others.
"How is that person now? What do you think she's trying to do? She doesn't want you to have a single day of peace."
It's rare to see parents do something like that.
"The doctor said her body is very weak and her spirits are not good. Now she just needs to be rested. How long she can recover depends on her will to live."
Suti knew they would ask, and there was no point in hiding it from them.
"What did the old marshal say?" The Guo family was so afraid that in the end, the two children were blamed innocently.
“Grandpa must be reluctant, but she brought this on herself, so no one can be blamed. The family didn’t take their anger out on us.” Suti knew what they were worried about.
"That's good. Was that person really crazy? And what did that child in front say?"
It wasn't that Guo Xuqing was heartless; it was just that this matter was rather unbelievable.
"Whether she's really crazy or not, her physical condition can't be faked. Even if she's faking it, it doesn't matter. Since she's pretending, she probably doesn't know how to face Grandpa and the others."
"But I don't think it was fake. It's good as it is now. We don't bother each other. As long as we know she's still alive, that's enough."
“Even if we really pass away someday, we’ll be prepared, so we won’t feel guilty if we suddenly die in the countryside.” Su Ti’s words were much more straightforward.
"As for Wei Bowen, we still haven't found him. He doesn't have a letter of introduction, and we don't know where he's hiding. But as long as he shows his face, we'll find him sooner or later."
“Now that Li Ci is like this, he has no hope left.” Su Ti knew that he would never get ahead in this life.
But what she didn't expect was that there was another person, blinded by greed, who was currently completely captivated by it!
