But Aunt Li, who was deeply fond of her grandson, didn't hear the commotion and instead felt even more sorry for him.
Aunt Li patted her grandson's head tenderly, her voice gentle: "Lehuai, don't be afraid. Your uncle and aunt aren't that kind of people. Your aunt just hasn't come to her senses yet. She's a soft-hearted person and won't make things difficult for you."
Whether one likes or dislikes something is beyond the control of others.
"Really? Will Auntie really like me? I... I'm so afraid of being sent away again. Before, when I was with my aunt, I... I was sent back..."
Le Huai clung to his grandmother, looking pitiful yet incredibly determined, as if she were his only lifeline.
Because he couldn't imagine what would happen if the old lady kicked him out again!
"Honey, that's just your aunt's house. How could they possibly support you forever?"
Inside the house, Grandma Li kept gently comforting her grandson.
But no matter how gentle her voice was, Le Shi couldn't calm down.
It's ridiculous that those brothers and their father argued with their mother just to please their younger brother! They made their mother so unhappy!
So this little brat is actually quite cunning?
She's only five years old!
If it were any older, wouldn't it scheme against Grandma to death?
no!
He has to go tell his older brother!
Le Shi was a meticulous person, and he left quietly without making a sound.
However, the first person Le Shi met was his father, not his older brother and mother.
"Why did you come out? Where's your mother?"
Li Mingfan felt he needed to have a serious talk with his wife.
My younger brother isn't here now, so I only have a little nephew. How much money would it cost to raise this little nephew?
Besides, he's his parents' own grandson!
Can't we just throw it away and ignore it?
This woman is really...
"Dad, I just heard... What are you talking about? This Lehuai is only five years old, how come he's so cunning? My main concern is how things will turn between Mom and Grandma if he keeps stirring things up like this?"
Le Shi scratched his head, looking extremely troubled.
Now I wonder why Grandma wanted to separate the family property so suddenly.
It's probably related to that kid, Le Huai!
"Where's that kid?"
Li Mingfan's face turned ashen, and he was about to teach someone a lesson!
OK!
How dare a little brat sow discord within the family?
Um?
What, did Li Mingrong teach this brat?
After they have a falling out, will Li Mingrong and his wife come out and pretend to be good people in front of their parents?
"Father, Father!"
Le Shi hurriedly grabbed his father and earnestly advised, "You can't go and cause trouble! Can't you see? Grandma's heart is still full of Le Huai. If you go and say something now, Grandma might not listen! Then there will be a big fight at home!"
Grandma already doted on Lehuai more, and now in Grandma's eyes Lehuai is a poor little thing who "has no father or mother"!
No matter who says it, it won't make a difference!
"So we're just going to let that little brat spout nonsense?"
Li Mingfan's anger exceeded Le Shi's expectations, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
He probably felt guilty towards his mother after learning the truth.
He felt that way too.
but……
"Dad, let's think of a solution slowly, okay? As long as our family works together, we're sure we can find a way."
"Oh, right, Dad, when we see Mom, let's comfort her..."
Li Mingfan felt heavy-hearted and let out a long, helpless sigh.
What on earth is going on?
——
When Chi Dashan and the others returned home, they happened to run into Chi Sihai, who was happily seeing off a group of people.
Chi Dashan seemed to realize something, but dared not guess, and tentatively asked, "Fourth brother, what is this?"
"Big brother, you're back?"
Chi Sihai seemed to only then notice Chi Dashan. His previous proper and sophisticated demeanor vanished instantly, and he reverted to his simple and honest younger brother persona.
She even blushed a little: "They all come to me to order custom-made fan cars."
"Really? Fourth Brother, this is great news! You've finally made it through!" Chi Dashan had just finished tying up the donkey cart when he saw his wife come out with a big pregnant belly.
He immediately reached out and helped his wife, asking anxiously, "Why did you come out?"
Sister-in-law Chi asked anxiously, "How did it go?"
She had so many questions to ask.
"Big brother, I'll take Xiao Suotou to see Mother first. You have no idea how much Mother has missed Xiao Suotou these past few days while you were gone."
"Ah, wait a minute, I'll go see my parents first." Chi Dashan was a man of deep affection and filial piety. He patted his wife's head, his longing gaze lingering on her chubby face until she blushed. Then he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me."
wait for me!
These two words, though seemingly light and airy, possessed a magical power that immediately made Sister-in-law Chi so ashamed she couldn't lift her head.
She missed him terribly during the few days they were apart.
However, she also knew that she should visit her parents-in-law first when she came back from going out, so she didn't stop them.
Aunt Chi really didn't know that her eldest son had come back today and was looking at the clothes lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) feeling sad.
"How did I gain so much weight? It hasn't been that long, and I can't even fit into these clothes anymore!"
This dress was specially made for Tangtang's first birthday party.
I wore it once and then put it away. I wasn't planning on going to... until tomorrow.
"mother!"
Aunt Chi hadn't even reacted when Chi Dashan's voice came.
It wasn't until Chi Dashan walked in that he picked up Chi Tang, spun her around several times, and almost sent her flying!
