Chapter 359: Be meticulous!
Ah Wu didn't know how to respond to such a clean attempt to shirk one's responsibility.
She remained silent.
Old Lady Liu sneered while lying on the bed: "It's your incompetence, don't blame others."
Liu Qingyuan lowered his head and said, "It's my son's incompetence. Right now, I'm only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites. I can't go to the palace to invite a royal doctor to see Dad."
Old Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and didn't want to talk to Liu Qingyuan.
This is someone else's family affair, and Xingxing just sat there without saying a word.
Liu Qingyuan didn't take Awu and Xingxing seriously either.
He looked at Yu Siyang who was sitting next to him and paused: "You are the man that Ah Wu married, right?"
After all, Liu Qingyuan is Ah Wu's elder. Yu Siyang felt a little embarrassed about this: "...Yes."
Liu Qingyuan looked Yu Siyang up and down, and suddenly sneered meaninglessly.
Ah Wu suddenly became anxious and stood up: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Liu Qingyuan looked a little regretful: "I don't mean anything. It's just that you, Ah Wu, are so outstanding, but in the end you married such a peasant in the countryside..."
Ah Wu became more and more angry. Like a mother lion protecting her cubs, she stood in front of Yu Siyang and glared at Liu Qingyuan: "What do you think? Uncle should take care of himself!"
Being scolded by the junior, Liu Qingyuan felt very embarrassed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Old Lady Liu was also fed up with Liu Qingyuan's behavior. She sneered and suppressed her temper and cursed, "How dare you say that! You married Xiangxiang to Cui Chengze as a second wife, and married Miaomiao to Taining Earl as a second wife. What a good marriage! One of them is a gentleman on the surface, but he is actually a hypocritical gentleman who abuses his wives and concubines behind closed doors! The other one simply doesn't even pretend. His reputation outside is so bad that it's a mess. Three of his wives were beaten to death. Which family wouldn't pinch their noses and avoid him? And you can even marry Miaomiao to him! Liu Qingyuan, you have completely ruined the reputation of my Liu family. It stinks! Just wait and see who will dare to marry into the Liu family in the future!"
Liu Qingyuan was completely humiliated by Old Lady Liu's scolding. His face was extremely ugly. He growled, "... Dad, you only know how to blame your son. Do you know how hard it has been for your son to live in the capital these years? You retired and returned to your hometown in a carefree manner, leaving no connections for your son. Your son has had a hard time in the capital!"
"Didn't I climb to the position of Grand Bachelor step by step without any help?! You are just conceited and unwilling to be mediocre, but you don't want to take one step at a time and be down to earth. You just want to take crooked ways!" Old Lady Liu almost pointed at Liu Qingyuan's nose and cursed him. He was inevitably emotional, his face flushed, and he started coughing heavily.
Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel again, Xing Xing hurriedly stood up, took a calming pill for Old Lady Liu, and fed it to him: "Grandpa, don't get excited. Don't sacrifice your body for your unfilial sons and grandsons. Unfilial sons and grandsons are unreliable. Brother Xu can only rely on you."
Old Lady Liu thought Xingxing was right. He took the pill, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.
Liu Qingyuan felt even more embarrassed to be scolded as "unfilial son" by Xingxing, a little girl in her teens.
"Who is this again!" Liu Qingyuan was so angry that he said, "You are so young and you don't know any etiquette!"
"I don't know etiquette, but I know shamelessness." Xing Xing held down Old Lady Liu who was about to get angry again, and looked straight at Liu Qingyuan with her dark almond-shaped eyes, her voice still carrying the sweetness of a little girl, "You made your father sick in bed, and you spoke ill of your niece who came back to visit her parents. You are unfilial to your parents and unkind to your children, and there are all those other things. You have no shame at all. How can you have the nerve to say that to a child like me?"
After a pause, Xing Xing asked sincerely, "Are you really a doctor in the Ministry of Rites? Are you really in the Ministry of Rites? Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this?"
Xing Xing was brought up in a pampered manner. She is confident no matter what happens, and she is neither humble nor arrogant. Naturally, she will not give face to anyone who is not worthy.
After hearing these words, coupled with the three sincere questions at the end, Liu Qingyuan was so angry that he almost died!
The face he had managed so hard to maintain was ruthlessly shattered by a little kid, and he was so angry that he lost his temper!
"you!"
"What do you mean? I think what our Xingxing said is quite right!" Old Lady Liu snorted coldly.
Ah Wu also clapped his hands: "Xing Xing, well said!"
Liu Qingyuan swallowed his anger and said, "...Dad, it's fine for Ah Wu to come back and live here, but where did this little girl come from? You are ill now, and we in the Liu family will not see any visitors. Let this little girl go back to where she came from!"
Xing Xing pouted.
My aunt's uncle is so stingy!
Not as good as her uncle!
Xing Xing was also afraid that Old Lady Liu would get angry again, so she spoke first, "You can't chase me away. I'm the little doctor who treats Grandpa!"
As she spoke, Xing Xing pointed to the medicine bag she had placed on the table, "Doctor, do you understand?"
Liu Qingyuan looked at Xingxing from head to toe as if he had heard some kind of joke. He thought it was ridiculous: "You, doctor?"
Liu Qingyuan sneered disdainfully.
Xing Xing didn't care about Liu Qingyuan's ridicule. She said seriously, "Don't disbelieve me. Besides medical skills, I also know a little bit about face reading." Xing Xing stretched out her hand and gestured, showing a little distance between her index finger and thumb, "A little bit."
"——Uncle, judging by the black spots on your forehead, you are about to have a bloody disaster!"
Liu Qingyuan's face turned pale: "You——"
This little girl spoke rudely to him and even cursed him!
Old Lady Liu said in dissatisfaction: "Why are you shouting so loudly at a child?"
Old Lady Liu said to Xingxing distressedly, "Xingxing, don't pay attention to him. He is just incompetent and furious."
Xingxing responded obediently with a "yes".
Liu Qingyuan was shaking with anger, and finally he couldn't sit still anymore. He said, "Dad, you should take good care of yourself," and walked away!
Ah Wu looked at Liu Qingyuan's back as he left in a huff, and sighed, "...I feel a little better now. Grandfather, how about you?"
Old Lady Liu also nodded: "Not bad, it is much more comfortable."
Xing Xing added seriously, "This is how you recover from an illness. If you are angry, just vent it on that person. Don't hold it in your heart."
Old Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing.
Ah Wu suddenly clapped his hands to encourage himself: "Okay, I've decided!"
She looked at Old Lady Liu, "Grandfather, do you still remember? When I followed you back to the countryside, I entrusted all the businesses of the second branch in Beijing to my uncle and his family. I also entrusted some of your businesses that you couldn't take away to my uncle and his family - now, I want to take them back."
Old Lady Liu's eyes were filled with relief, but she was also a little worried about her granddaughter: "Awu, are you okay?"
Ah Wu, however, was full of energy: "Don't worry, Grandfather. Isn't Xing Xing still here? Xing Xing will help me too!"
Xing Xing nodded her head repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah. Auntie, I'm with you!"
A happy smile appeared on Ah Wu's innocent little face.
In the past few years at the Yu family, Mrs. Wei and the sisters-in-law have been in charge of household affairs without telling her. They have been involved in many household chores, such as interpersonal relationships. When Mrs. Wei was teaching Xingxing, she was also teaching Ah Wu step by step.
Ah Wu felt that he had grown a lot.
She used to think that she and her uncle were all members of the Liu family, and that money was just a worldly possession and they didn't need to worry too much about it.
Now, Ah Wu feels that she not only has to calculate, but also has to be very penny-wise and pound-foolish!
