When Kun Kun ran away, the people upstairs heard the noise.
Luo Hao and Lin Chunhua lay in bed, reflecting on the day's events, and realized that Kun Kun's self-esteem had been thoroughly humiliated by them.
Yes, he wears expensive clothes and speaks condescendingly, giving things away casually without caring whether others accept them or not. Maybe it's okay to treat friends like this normally, but Kunkun is a child with a very strong sense of self-respect!
"Haozi, I'm sorry. My behavior today was really wrong, especially asking Tao Tao to deliver the watch. I will definitely apologize to him properly tomorrow."
Lin Chunhua actually understands that feeling very well.
I was also insecure when I was a child. I always thought that everything people said was an intentional insult and I was always on guard.
Although Kun Kun is already in his late twenties and has never left the mountain village, he is still very simple-minded and stubborn.
Luo Hao hugged her and comforted her, "I also made mistakes today, let's correct them together. In the future, our children should also be educated, otherwise they will forget their roots."
The next morning, Lin Chunhua got up early to help Li Fang cook.
Li Fang did make a mistake back then, but she has already been punished and knows how to repent, so she shouldn't be condemned outright.
Besides, without Mu Xiaoting stepping down, she wouldn't have ended up with Luo Hao, so she shouldn't be ungrateful.
Luo Chunhua apologized to Li Fang and asked when Kunkun would be back.
Li Fang told her that Kun Kun should have gone back to his maternal grandmother's house, and he hadn't gone out anywhere else.
Because she was taking Aunt Luo to the city for a medical check-up, she didn't say much.
It was the first time Aunt Luo had ever ridden in such a high-end car, and she didn't dare touch the seat with her hands, afraid that her fingernails would scratch the leather.
Luo Hao also told her to bring two sets of clothes to change into, in case they couldn't finish the inspection in one day and needed to stay in the city.
"They can't finish the investigation in a day? How much money will that cost?" Aunt Luo muttered.
Lin Chunhua comforted her, "There's no need to stay in a hotel. Miaomiao's house is very big, we can stay at their house."
Aunt Luo sighed, "Lu Wanqing is so successful now. Last time she came back to her hometown, she made such a big fuss. TV reporters followed her the whole time, which made me too scared to even talk to her."
Unexpectedly, her child is also so capable, starting his own company.
"Haozi, is your company bigger, or Miaomiao's company?" Aunt Luo couldn't help but ask.
Luo Hao smiled and said, "That's hard to say. My company is quite large, but it's still part of the Wenwan Group and managed by Chairman Lu. Miaomiao's company is different. It's still developing and might grow to be as big as the Wenwan Group in the future. Besides, it's her own company."
Aunt Luo seemed to understand, but not quite. She felt that what Luo Hao said was inaccurate; Miaomiao was Lu Wanqing's daughter and should be under her jurisdiction.
Little did she know that kinship ties cannot supersede company relationships.
Upon arriving at the hospital, a full set of examinations revealed that Aunt Luo's health was relatively good; her leg problem was caused by brain atrophy.
"Doctor, what does brain atrophy mean?" Luo Hao didn't understand.
The doctor told him that as people age, their brains shrink, but some people do it faster than others. If the brain shrinks too quickly, it can lead to Alzheimer's disease.
He simply couldn't accept this reality: people with Alzheimer's disease will gradually lose their memory, and eventually they might not even recognize their own son.
He quickly called Luo Chunlei and asked him to arrange a time to go home as soon as possible.
Upon hearing that his mother was developing Alzheimer's, Luo Chunlei quickly bought plane tickets with Han Xue and returned home.
Their child, disliking the countryside, went to spend the summer vacation with his grandmother.
Luo Chunlei works in a government department and is already a leader, while Han Xue is also a leader at the school. The way they talk and act is typical of city people, and they are city people with a strong official air about them.
“Mom is getting on in years, so why don’t the three of us brothers take turns caring for her?” Luo Chunlei suggested after returning home.
Luo Hao looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Then how exactly do you plan to take care of him?"
"Here's the thing, my second brother and I are in the capital, and my eldest brother is here. We'll have Mom's family stay for four months, taking turns coming over."
Don't worry, my house is very spacious. When Mom moves in, I'll hire a housekeeper to take care of her.
Luo Chunlei shared his thoughts.
He had been pondering these ideas repeatedly on the plane.
I haven't been able to be by my mother's side to fulfill my filial duties for so many years, so it's only right to bring her to live with me and take care of her, even if it costs more money.
Luo Hao neither agreed nor disagreed, feeling that this method wasn't impossible, but it wasn't perfect either.
At this moment, Luo Jun also spoke up.
“Mom is used to living in the countryside, so let us take care of her. She doesn’t spend much money all year round.”
Luo Chunlei frowned upon hearing this: "Can you guarantee she won't do anything while staying in the countryside? I heard that she injured her hand while moving things last time."
He felt that his mother would definitely be busy at home and would help with chores.
Luo Hao felt his younger brother was making a mountain out of a molehill, and, in his usual paternalistic manner, said:
"Alright, accidents happen sometimes, even when you're eating you bite your tongue. Let's hear what Mom has to say."
As soon as she finished speaking, several pairs of eyes turned to Aunt Luo.
At this moment, Aunt Luo's face was solemn, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Urged on by everyone, she slowly spoke:
"I've thought it over. I think I'll live with Dajun. First, this is my home, and second, you all have your careers to take care of. If I go, I'll only cause trouble."
However, I've already made it clear beforehand that Dajun has always taken good care of me, so even if anything happens to me, please don't blame him. Continue sending me money as before, and you have no right to interfere with how I spend it…”
Aunt Luo's words made Luo Chunlei lower his head, feeling his face burning.
Just then, Kunkun returned from outside, came over, and took Aunt Luo's arm, saying:
"Grandma, just tell them to only send you the money you need from now on, don't ask for more. Our business is doing well now, we won't be short of money."
After speaking, he stood up again, bowed to Luo Hao and Luo Chunlei, and then said:
"Thank you both for taking care of our family. I have nothing to repay you with, except to take good care of Grandma and not let you worry about me."
Luo Chunlei felt even more ashamed.
People often feel that sending money home is doing something extraordinary, but the people who are there to take care of them are the most precious.
Luo Hao was also relieved; his talk with Kun Kun hadn't been in vain.
There are some things he needs to understand: reality is what it is, and he shouldn't value his dignity too much before he succeeds.
That's how he got here. If Kunkun wants to succeed, he will inevitably have to go through a process where his dignity is brutally crushed and then pieced back together.
