The three of them were young after all, and even if they had some cunning, they still didn't have the guts to face important figures.
"Big sister, what should we do?" Xiao Jieying asked Xiao Jiena.
"I don't know either, but if we don't show our abilities now, what will we do if Grandpa really retires in the future?"
"But we can't get through at all," Xiao Jieling said, a little scared.
“The three of us still have to give it a try. If we can win them over, we can live well even without Grandpa. Grandpa said that the lady gave birth to quadruplets, who are all eight years old. If we stay, we might still have a chance.”
The two younger ones thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, let's go together."
Their plan was good, but they couldn't get close to Zhang Hongmei and the others at all.
The bodyguards blocked their way. Even if they cried, it wouldn't work. What a joke! The lady dislikes them so much; she'd only let them pass if she wanted to ruin her life.
It was almost nine o'clock, so the four of them went home with the children.
Liu Qiang held Zhang Hongmei's hand and asked cautiously, "Auntie, has Brother Jinsong really gone home?"
"Yes, he's grown up, and most importantly, he's not suitable to stay by my side anymore. Liu Qiang, don't worry, he'll get home safely and live his own life."
"Auntie, has he gone back to our hometown?"
"Yes, he went back to his hometown." Liu Qiang was relieved. In his mind, going home was the happiest thing.
That evening, Zhang Hongmei left a letter for the four children with Zhenye. She also told them to drink water and get plenty of rest.
Zhang Zhenye sensed that his mother had brought something over, so he stopped cultivating and summoned water and a letter.
After reading the letter, he gritted his teeth. He put the water back into the ring. Taking the letter, he went to the third brother's room and knocked on the doors of the second and fourth brothers.
The four brothers sat in the third brother's room, and the three of them read the letter together.
After reading it, Gu Yaozu curled his lip. "Mom has finally hardened her heart. It's really nonsensical. He just thinks that Mom and Dad shouldn't have any children and that it's better to have only one. He doesn't seem to care about being a stranger at all."
Zhang Weiyu frowned. "Mom must be unhappy right now."
“There’s nothing we can do about it. After all, my mother raised him for so many years, how could she not have feelings for him? That’s probably why she’s always tolerated him before.” Zhang Ruifeng felt nothing for Liu Jingsong.
"Hmm?" Zhang Zhenye pulled out another piece of paper. "This is a letter from Dad."
The four brothers read it together. Their mother must have read their father's letter. It told them that the reason they didn't keep Liu Jingsong was because they were afraid he would use his feelings to blackmail them in the future.
"Hehe, Dad's worries are unnecessary. He's looking for me? Do you think I'd just talk to him?" Gu Yaozu scoffed.
The other three shared the same thought. "Alright, let's go back and practice." Zhang Ruifeng didn't care about these things at all. He used to ignore him to avoid upsetting his mother, but who would give him face in the future?
Zhang Hongmei was reading Zhang Shouyi's letter. It said that Xiao Manshan had arrived and was trying to cause trouble at the military headquarters, but had been detained and was now waiting for news from the southeast.
This person really can't see the bigger picture. Making a scene? Gone mad?
Ganlu didn't stop at all along the way, and she was going incredibly fast. The Jeep's high ground clearance meant she wasn't worried about scraping the bottom at all. Ganlu finally regained her old driving feel.
They arrived at Fuzeyuan at 11 o'clock.
"You should start tidying up your own room."
The nanny cooked noodles for them. Liu Jingsong hadn't eaten for two meals; he hadn't felt hungry in years. The thought of living like this filled him with resentment, so he didn't speak to Gan Lu at all.
Ganlu wasn't worried about him making any other moves. Under her watchful eye, his little bit of skill was nothing.
Liu Jingsong returned to his room and paced around it a few times. He felt like this place no longer belonged to him. How had things come to this? He used to be their favorite child.
It wasn't until he arrived here that Liu Jingsong shed tears. He knew that no matter how reluctant he was, nothing would change.
I opened my wardrobe, which was full of my clothes. I felt that my aunt had been really good to me and had never shortchanged me materially.
While crying, she found her purse and packed all her wearable clothes into it, but the bag couldn't hold them all, so she emptied them out. She then tore off the bed sheet and packed all her clothes for all four seasons.
The bottom of the wardrobe was filled with all the good things I'd accumulated over the years—quite a lot. As I took them out one by one, tears streamed down my face even more. They filled half my purse. There was also five hundred yuan, and then my childhood toys—but how was I going to carry all of that?
Let's gather them all together. We'll figure something out tomorrow morning; these are all my memories.
Lying in bed, unable to fall asleep, I stared at the ceiling, and tears streamed down my face again.
At six o'clock the next day, Ganlu knocked on the door, "Let's go to the compound to get your things. Hurry up."
Breakfast was fried dough sticks and pork congee. Liu Jingsong ate it, and what used to be an ordinary breakfast tasted delicious to him this time.
Ganlu eats very quickly, and after finishing, she waits on the side.
Liu Jingsong simply couldn't eat under her watchful gaze. He asked the nanny for a piece of cloth, wrapped up his toys, and got into the car.
After registering at the door, they entered the house. They went into their room, collapsed onto the bed, and wept bitterly. This was where the elite lived; they had once had a place here, but that was no longer the case.
Hearing the knock, I quickly got up; there was even more stuff here. The clothes almost couldn't be wrapped in the bedsheets. There weren't many gifts, but there was a lot of money—a full two thousand. This was all given to me by my grandfather and great-grandfather.
There will be no more chances in the future; from now on, I'll only have myself.
After tidying up, seeing Ganlu sitting on the sofa outside waiting for her, she didn't have the courage to say she wanted to stay there a little longer.
"Is everything packed?"
"Um."
"Alright, let's set off right away, or we'll cause any delays."
They were still speeding along. Liu Jingsong sat in the back, feeling extremely lost and depressed about the future. He didn't talk to Gan Lu at all.
Wang Hua and Xu Liang, along with three drivers, went to the designated location to load the dried goods.
These three trucks were packed full of dry goods. The total cost was just over four thousand yuan.
They returned before noon. Zhang Hongmei had also prepared a large package containing the valuable medicinal herbs that Su Chen had requested.
They also prepared fabric and some milk powder for the children.
Er Ya and the others also prepared some gifts for the children.
Liu Qiang was originally very homesick, but when it came time to leave, he felt particularly reluctant to go.
