Xie Li somewhat understood why Granny Ming had come to her.
She can only guarantee that she won't bully others, but she can't guarantee that others won't do stupid things.
Besides, what is her relationship with Ming Xiaoxiao? Why should she guarantee that Ming Xiaoxiao won't be expelled?
Xie Li refused to respond, which made Granny Ming feel awkward and uncomfortable, like a country person facing a city person.
Xie Li then escorted her back to school and specially bought some gifts and food for Grandma Ming, and gave her a bottle of medicine he had made himself.
"This is a Rejuvenating Pill, for strengthening the body..." He paused, without elaborating further, "Just take it as a health supplement. It's made by Xie Family Rejuvenating Hall, and it's very effective."
Grandma Ming accepted the gift, thanked her, and then, accompanied by a school worker, walked towards the old faculty and staff dormitory.
When Xie Li returned home, it was more than an hour later than usual. Xie Sidu was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading documents. When he saw Xie Li come back, he smiled.
"What about that old lady? She's a guest from afar. If she's willing, we can take her home to stay for a while. After all, she took good care of you before."
The Xie family wasn't particularly hospitable, but Xie Sidu still felt he couldn't be careless about their former neighbors.
I heard that the old lady is quite old and it must have been difficult for her to travel all the way to the city. It would be better if she could have a place to stay than to be squeezed into a small single room with her granddaughter.
Xie Li was taken aback; she was always a bit slow on the uptake in these matters. "Ah, but I had someone take her to Ming Xiaoxiao's dorm."
She stared at Xie Sidu for a moment, then asked, "Dad, what should I do? Should I bring her over?"
Xie Sidu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. If she was really good to you before, as a parent, I need to repay her properly."
Xie Li: "I thought that since she hadn't seen Ming Xiaoxiao for a long time, she must want to live with Ming Xiaoxiao even more."
This family wasn't familiar with Grandma Ming, and her relationship with Grandma Ming wasn't that good either.
Xie Sidu rubbed her head and smiled, saying it was nothing. After a pause, he added, "I've heard about what happened at school, including her granddaughter..."
"Let's invite her to our home later, in the name of the Xie family."
If the elderly person is sensible, the relationship can be developed gradually; if the elderly person is not sensible, there is no need for him to rush to flatter him.
Being overly enthusiastic and attentive may not be a good thing.
——
In the faculty dormitory, Ming Xiaoxiao was filled with impatience.
"Grandma, why did you come over without saying a word?" She felt a little embarrassed. "And why did you go to see Xie Li first!"
Grandma Ming put the things on the table and slowly sat down. "Grandma is worried about you. At least I can speak up for Xie Li."
Ming Xiaoxiao was unimpressed: "You think you have any say? You overestimate yourself."
"If Xie Lizhen remembered your kindness, she should have taken you back to her big villa to enjoy a few days of luxury. Isn't it obvious that she didn't want to associate with an old country woman like you!"
Grandma Ming has difficulty walking, but out of habit, she can't sit still. Seeing the mess in the room, she starts to tidy it up.
While tidying up, she sighed, "You should be a little more efficient. How can a girl's room be so messy?"
"You were just as lazy when you were staying at that young master's house?" Granny Ming sighed. "That won't do. We country folk can't be poor and lose our ambition. If someone is lending you their house, you have to take on the housework properly."
