Without her consent, they had already arranged her leave. Xun Liangfen felt very uncomfortable. "Your parents like to make all the decisions. They also decided on the marriages of their children. They definitely don't want me to get involved. Why should I go back and be disliked?"
I'll earn more money here so I can give more to the kids later.
Now my own mother doesn't ask me for money anymore, so I can save some money for my retirement and give it to whichever child is the most filial in the future.
"Are you still holding a grudge about these things?" Even if Hua Baoguo didn't interfere, he knew that Xun Liangfen had a lot of complaints about the family these days. "I think your parents have good taste; they chose some good children."
Look at our friends around here, which one is as worry-free as us?
This is a crucial time for the family. If you go back and lend a hand, the children will remember your kindness.
He could easily see that his children had become estranged from their parents. The children were of good character and would certainly not neglect their parents in their old age, but they could forget about getting anything more from them.
When he has free time, he also starts to reflect and realize how much of a failure he has been over the years.
He had explained it to Xun Liangfen in detail before, but he didn't expect that she wouldn't take it to heart at all.
“But we are so short-handed right now, is it okay for me to take a long leave?” Xun Liangfen could only find another excuse.
“I’ve already applied to the higher-ups, and they’ll transfer someone from the office to take your shift.” Hua Baoguo didn’t say that he had originally used his own leave request as a pretext to get the higher-ups to make this decision.
After all, it's easy to choose between a train conductor and a train attendant.
He handed the leave slip directly to Xun Liangfen, saying, "Go back now. After I finish this trip, I can take leave and go home." He hoped that he could make it in time for Xiao Guai's wedding by then.
Xun Liangfen saw the leave slip in her hand, clenched her fist, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Hua Baoguo sighed deeply, still unable to understand his good intentions.
This is also the time when the family needs her the most. Liangfen can go back now and ease the tension with her family, who have been missing out on so much in their children's lives. Hopefully, she can seize this opportunity.
If he hadn't been so busy, he wouldn't have let such an opportunity slip by.
Hua Zhian saw his mother return and asked with a puzzled look, "Did you leave something behind?"
Xun Liangfen said with a gloomy face, "Mind your own business. Hurry up and pack your things. We'll go back together tomorrow."
"You don't have to go to work anymore?" Hua Zhian blurted out.
"Do I need to explain to you whether I go to work or not?" Xun Liangfen said irritably, then went back to her room and slammed the door shut.
“I didn’t say anything,” Hua Zhian said, feeling puzzled. “Why are you taking your anger out on us?”
Xie Lanqiao, "..." It seems this mother-in-law is more difficult to deal with than she imagined...

Wu Chenxi also received a telegram confirming that a familiar junior brother would be coming, so she called Hua Xiangyun over to explain the junior brother's details.
"Your Uncle Zhan Xiang is also a pitiful person. Because he was born with the ability to see ghosts, his family regarded him as an omen of bad luck and abandoned him in a mass grave when he was four years old."
Perhaps it was the greatest stroke of luck in his life that his master encountered him, took him into the sect, and accepted him as his last disciple.
Hua Xiangyun listened quietly. Her master must have had her reasons for calling him over and giving him such instructions.
"But his master had taken in too many disciples. Even though he was supposed to be his last disciple, he didn't show much favoritism."
Besides teaching him magic techniques, he was also too busy to take care of his daily life, so his senior brothers took care of him. However, these senior brothers were not easy to get along with and would always find ways to bully him.
When I visited his teacher's school with my grandfather, we encountered him many times.
There were a few times when I couldn't stand what they did, so I stepped in to help them, and that's how we met.
Later, during the turmoil, his master, driven by righteousness, led a group of fellow disciples in secret operations and wiped out some of the local tyrants.
I don't know how the news got out. These days, people can't find these people, nor do they have the ability to fight them, so they take their anger out on the children who stayed behind at the sect.
He and more than a dozen of his fellow disciples were taken away to serve as bait.
But his master would never send his trained apprentice to his death for the sake of a few children, so he refused to show himself.
Those people were incredibly cruel, hanging people on the city wall one by one every day. Even if everyone was furious, seeing the machine guns guarding them, no one dared to make a move.
It just so happens that my grandfather and I, who are also your grandmasters, happened to be passing by there on business. When we heard about it, we rushed over.
As you know, our family is famous for its array formations. Under the cover of night, we managed to rescue them, but we were too late. Of all the children, only Zhan Xiang and his junior brother, who was terrified, remained.
Hua Xiangyun clenched her fists upon hearing this. It was all the same stuff again. She only regretted being born at the wrong time; otherwise, she too…
Wu Chenxi glanced at her and understood her anger. Years ago, she had witnessed all of this and hated these people to the core.
So she begged the old man to stay there a little longer. With her mastery of formations, she managed to kill that group of people. That was the first time she had gotten involved in karma, but she didn't regret it. They deserved it.
"His master had some sense of shame. He felt guilty that his mistake had caused these children to suffer undeserved misfortune, so he dared not appear in front of them again."
So they sent a letter that very night, asking my grandfather to take the person in.
After all, the two sides had a good relationship, and my grandfather could understand his feelings. He originally wanted to bring the person back and take him under his wing, but the War Minister refused no matter what.
He returned to the sect alone with his mentally challenged senior brother. From then on, he supported his brother on his own, helping those in need around them, and managed to make ends meet.
Wu Chenxi fell silent at this point. There were some things she really couldn't bear to mention, but she was also afraid that her little apprentice might offend the other party.
Hua Xiangyun: "And then what happened?"
"Later, when there was internal strife, his sect was good at helping people survey auspicious feng shui sites, and many people wanted to change their fate through feng shui, so he became popular."
However, the infighting within the world of metaphysics was fierce, and he couldn't be allowed to enjoy the beauty all to himself. Soon, someone plotted against him, causing him to offend a local tycoon.
These people are ruthless; they brought a group of thugs and blinded him…
Hua Xiangyun felt a tightness in her chest. What did a pair of Yin-Yang eyes mean? For a sorcerer, they were priceless treasures.
It is also a gift from heaven, a talent that allows them to survive.
"He has a very stubborn temper, which has offended some people. Seeing him ruined, many people are taking advantage of his misfortune..."
