Meng Tao said, "It seems that there are still some things belonging to cousin Liwen in the west wing guest room."

"Everything has been cleaned up and locked in the closet. Jianli and Yuting's rooms were rummaged through in the afternoon, so Sister Xu asked us to lock it up as well." Aunt Gao said.

"Well, that's fine. We'll see what happens tomorrow. If they want to stay longer and like freedom and want to do what they want, then they can't stay here any longer. We'll have to find them another place."

"Oh." Aunt Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better to change the place. She didn't want to serve this group of guests. They were too weird and she couldn't stand it.

Meng Tao told Aunt Gao that she didn't need midnight snacks. She usually made her own snacks in her space.

Xu Zhen also waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to eat, but pointed at Mrs. Gan and Aunt Gao, meaning that if they were hungry, they could take some food back to the house to eat.

After Aunt Gao and Mrs. Gan left, Xu Zhen patted the baby who was sleeping on the bed. Meng Tao went to take a shower, and when she came out to blow-dry her hair, Xu Zhen pulled her to sit on the sofa and handed her the small notebook to read.

Meng Tao looked at what Xu Zhen wrote, which was advising Meng Tao and Shen Yu to be more patient and to bear with it even if they didn't like it. After all, they were their saviors, and no matter how excessive they were, they still had to entertain them until they were satisfied.

If the young couple really don't want to see it, they can take the baby to grandma's house for a few days and leave this place to daddy.

Meng Tao said to Xu Zhen, "Little Mom, I understand what you mean, but you have to understand: there is only one lifesaver, and that is Uncle Lin Dajiang, not such a large group of people. They are just Uncle Lin's family members and relatives. We can show appropriate kindness and help if there are difficulties, but only within a certain range and never exceed the bottom line, otherwise they will be regarded as suckers.

Did you hear what Aunt Ge said just now? She said that when they are settled in Beijing, they will bring their two sons over. If they want to settle down in Beijing, my family must have arranged it for them, and then bring their two sons over. The two sons, their wives and their children will make at least six people. What will happen next? There must be more people coming. For example, Aunt Ge brought her cousin's family this time, and next time she can bring her brothers, sisters and other relatives from her mother's side. If they are like these children, and they come and mess up our family every time, can you bear it? Anyway, I don't like it.

People should know how to be grateful and repay favors, but there are many ways to repay favors, and you don't necessarily have to endure and feel uncomfortable.

If Uncle Lin comes in person, we will definitely treat him with sincerity and say anything. Even if Uncle Lin asks for this yard, I believe you and Dad will agree, and Shen Yu and I will agree without hesitation.

But these people, please forgive me, I really don't like it. Tomorrow, I will arrange for them to live somewhere else, and they won't be angry if they don't see me. "

Xu Zhen: “…”

She frowned and struggled for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled, gave Meng Tao a thumbs up, and mouthed, "I don't like it either!"

Meng Tao looked sideways: So you wrote such a long paragraph of advice and preaching just now, were you testing me? You are unhappy, but you can't say it yourself, so you tricked me into saying it out loud, and you think it makes you feel good?

It turns out you are such a scheming stepmother.

Xiao Wangcai made some noise outside the door, and with the sound of footsteps, Shen Heping and his son Shen Yu walked in.

Shen Heping ran straight to the crib. He hadn't seen his baby grandson all day and missed him a lot. Seeing the little guy sleeping soundly with his chubby and rosy face, Shen Heping's originally gloomy expression immediately melted away. A smile appeared on his face and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

Shen Heping chuckled, looked at his precious grandson reluctantly, and whispered to him: "Good boy, go to sleep. Get up early tomorrow and grandpa will take you out to play."

Then he pulled Xu Zhen to the outer room and sat down on the sofa. While the two of them were looking after the child, Meng Tao quickly brewed a pot of hot tea and coffee, and then put the fruit bowl and snacks on the coffee table. There was a refrigerator and a food cabinet in her room. Shen Yu said that Taotao liked to eat snacks, so he prepared these snacks especially for her. This was also to cover up the frequent presence of fresh fruits and various exquisite snacks at home.

Shen Yu washed his hands and came over, then wrung out a wet towel and handed it to Shen Heping. Shen Heping wiped his hands and asked the young couple to sit down. The family drank tea and ate snacks while talking.

The topic of conversation was naturally related to the guests who were having a midnight snack in the restaurant.

The noise outside the door and the clinking of dishes and chopsticks indicated that the restaurant was bustling with activity.

Only then did Meng Tao realize that Lin Dajiang had passed away half a year ago. No wonder Shen Heping looked so depressed and in such a low mood tonight.

Seeing Shen Heping drinking tea sip by sip, Xu Zhen picked up two meat floss cakes and put them on a small plate and told him to eat. Green tea helps digestion. He was in a bad mood today and didn't eat much. If he didn't eat something, he was afraid his stomach wouldn't be able to take it.

After eating the pancake, Shen Heping asked Shen Yu: "Are you sure you want to send them to the guesthouse? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Shen Yu: "No, leave it to me, don't worry about it. I've asked Ding Hao to book a room at the guesthouse, and he'll drive over to pick us up soon."

"Okay, you decide."

Shen Heping sighed and said sadly: "I finally got in touch with your Uncle Lin and went to visit him. The moment I saw him, I understood why he refused to contact us... He is that kind of person. He bears the difficulties and pains by himself, and endures all the grievances and pains. He is unwilling to trouble others, especially his important friends.

He has been badly betrayed by his parents in his life, and Ge Hongjiao is not a good person. If she hadn't been so persistent, it wouldn't have happened... But Ge Hongjiao has become his wife after all, so he can't just ignore it. And your uncle Lin's two daughters must be taken care of."

"I understand. I'll make arrangements. Don't worry."

Meng Tao asked: "Uncle Lin hasn't contacted us for many years. How did Aunt Ge know that we moved to Beijing? And also know the detailed address?"

Shen Heping took a sip of tea. "They brought an envelope with your uncle Lin's handwriting on it, with the address of Qianjin Steel Plant in Province D. Ge Hongjiao and the others went to the steel plant first, and were received by Director Zhao. Old Zhao and I are old friends, and he also knows Lin Dajiang and our relationship, and he also knows that I have been thinking about finding Lin Dajiang. It just so happened that Old Zhao was going to Beijing on a business trip, so he brought Ge Hongjiao and the others with him. Old Zhao came to the wedding banquet for your wedding and your baby's full moon, and he knows our address."

"I see."

Shen Yu said, "The envelope they brought was just an empty envelope. There was no letter inside, no words from Uncle Lin. Ge Hongjiao and Wang Wenqiang made a lot of requests, all from their perspective, according to their wishes and interests. Uncle Lin has nothing to do with it. They even refused to tell us where Uncle Lin was buried. They tried their best to stop us from going to pay our respects. Is there any reason for this? I have to ask again and ask someone to check it out."
