As the days passed, Mr. Fu called several of his sons and daughters-in-law to persuade them, and they all agreed; but not one of them actually did it.
In the end, Mr. Fu gave up and simply brought back the grandchildren he could bring back to live with him; after all, the brothers and sisters were together, and they could take care of each other, and if their relationship was good, they could help each other in the future.
Fu Xiangbei couldn't get close to his brothers and sisters. Ever since the old man brought his cousins back home, he would go to the Yan family whenever he had free time. He was too lazy to argue with these people. Although everyone was in a similar situation, their personalities were very different.
Thanks to a good master, a good grandmaster, and a favorable upbringing, Fu Xiangbei has emerged from his dark days and dedicated himself entirely to his studies, letting go of his former arrogance and pride. His mind is gradually transforming, and he's on the path to becoming a humble and respectable gentleman. However, this doesn't stop him from disliking his cousins for being less intelligent! Just look at them, nearly getting into a fight over food and drink.
He is eager to grab any good thing and hold it tightly. He speaks rudely and seems like he cannot live without being sarcastic. In a word, he is selfish and rebellious.
Fu Xiangbei eventually grew up in the Yan family, as they had an extra room for him. He returned home occasionally, and perhaps Old Master Fu had noticed this and didn't impose too much on him. He believed that following Zhong Yuxiu in the Yan family was the best thing to do. He had completely abandoned his grandson, believing he had a bright future ahead of him. As long as he studied hard, he would be a successful person. Besides, if he had talent, his master would definitely not let it go unnoticed.
Mr. Fu focused his attention on his other grandchildren.
As a result, Old Master Yan felt a little sorry for Fu Xiangbei. He didn't fight for anything, but was completely ignored.
That day, Fu Xiangbei went back to the Fu family for something and agreed not to come back tonight; Grandpa Yan called his eldest grandson's wife over, and everyone sat down to talk.
"Yuxiu, do you think Xiangbei is becoming more and more sensible?"
Zhong Yuxiu remained noncommittal. "He's sensible, but he can also be naughty sometimes."
"What I saw was a sign of being sensible." After saying this, Mr. Yan asked, "Why is he so tough?"
"Xiangbei always likes to tinker with strange things when he comes into the lab with me. He hasn't fallen behind in his studies, but his preferences are really hard to guess." The things he makes sometimes have a pungent smell, and sometimes they are too fragrant. I don't know what he is thinking.
"Hmm." The old man chuckled. "I thought it was nothing. He's just a kid! If he's curious and has an idea, let him do it."
"I think so too. As long as he doesn't fall behind in his studies, everything else is up to him."
Yan Guofeng nodded. "Xiangbei is too sensible. Your grandfather from the Fu family is an old fool. He doesn't love his smart and motivated grandson, but instead loves those noisy ones. He's not afraid of being pissed off to death sooner or later. I don't like any of them anyway."
"Are they so bad?" Zhong Yuxiu didn't know the truth and had never seen it with her own eyes; the old man had seen it when he went to the Fu family.
Yan Guofeng tutted his words and said, "They are just a bunch of clueless people. I don't know what their parents taught them. We retirees get targeted benefits every month, but as soon as your Grandpa Fu's benefits are delivered to our home, they start snatching them up."
"One time I went to his house, and as soon as I walked in I saw them fighting like crazy. The eldest one was already an adult, but he was still so stupid." Speaking of this, Old Master Yan looked down on him in every way. "Your Grandpa Fu is also an old fool. Can't he share a little with each of his grandchildren? They fought over it like this. After they took it all, what did your Grandpa Fu have left?"
"We're old now, and many of these benefits are just nutritional supplements for the elderly. Those ignorant people are even trying to steal our own grandfather's nutritional supplements."
"I told your grandfather Fu that he also said that these grandchildren have suffered; their parents don't love them and are busy with work. Their tempers are a little off, but they are not bad people."
"He's not a bad guy at all. I think they're just going to wipe out his family. All his sons and daughters-in-law are away from home and don't care about their families. When he's unable to move, maybe Fu Xiangbei will be the only one by his side. If we can't treat them equally now, how will Xiangbei feel?"
"Just because he's sensible and doesn't fight or compete, does that mean he deserves to suffer? That he deserves to be ignored? There's no such thing in this world. If Xiangbei ever blames him, I'd think that's perfectly normal."
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't get a word in and could only listen to the old man chattering. The old man had something on his mind and would just let it go without saying it out loud; Zhong Yuxiu did her job conscientiously and acted like a garbage recycling bin that just listened.
After Old Master Yan finished complaining, he felt relieved. "Yuxiu, thank goodness you listened to me. Old Master is getting confused!"
"Grandpa, that's their family affair. Everyone has different ideas and ways of doing things. We can try to persuade them, but if we can't, forget it. After all, Xiangbei has us protecting him." Zhong Yuxiu felt that these things were not a big deal. "There's a limit to how much Mr. Fu has, and how much can they get? They've been spoiled one by one. No matter how much money we give them, they can't keep them. Now that they've suddenly become rich, they have money in their hands, so shouldn't they spend it lavishly?"
Old Master Yan paused his hand at his side, blinked his eyes, and thought about it, realizing that this was indeed the case.
"But it's a fact that Xiangbei will inevitably suffer losses!"
"A good man doesn't eat the meal of a divided family. It's meaningless to fight for these petty gains." She is open-minded. In every life, she can stay single with her own ability. Don't ask. If you do, she is rich, beautiful, and good at making money. She doesn't need men to do anything. She is not the kind of person who depends on men for life.
After meeting Yan Rushan, her thoughts changed a little; perhaps it was because she knew that reality had settled down and she would not continue to travel through time, so she wanted to settle down.
Old Master Yan glanced at Yan Rushan and saw that he was lost in thought with a dull expression on his face. He didn't know if he was listening to what they were saying.
Zhong Yuxiu continued, "Grandpa, if you feel sorry for Xiangbei, treat him better in the future. Our family is not short of that little bit of money. Rushan can make a lot of money, and I have a lot of money in my hands. Our family's situation is different from the Fu family. Xiangbei is my apprentice after all, and an apprentice is half my son. It's good to be nice to your son."
Old Master Yan did take it in, but he still felt that Old Fu was not in the right mind. Shouldn't normal people love promising children? Why did Old Fu love those confused people instead?
"I understand. Our family really doesn't lack these things. Old Fu just gets a fixed salary. He gets subsidies, but they're not generous. It's really hard to support a group of grandchildren." The key is the inaction of the Fu family's sons and daughters-in-law.
