"Are you afraid you won't be able to learn to drive and want to run away?"
Shen Suyin overheard the conversation between the father and daughter and came over to ask Hua Li.
Hua Li was worried that she wouldn't be able to learn it, but that wasn't the main reason.
"My salary is limited. If I damage the car and can't afford to pay for it, just consider it a conceding defeat."
Shen Suyin choked, "My daughter, Shen Suyin, so what if she crashes one car or even ten?"
"That's your daughter in your heart, not me."
Hua Li finished packing her and Luo Yan's belongings and was about to ask Xiao Xiu when Xiao Xiu came out of the room carrying a small bundle.
He heard everything Hua Li said. Wherever Aunt Hua and Luo Yan are, he will be there too. He will definitely follow them back without being asked.
When Sun Bailing saw that his chess partner was about to leave, this was a serious matter.
"No one is allowed to leave..."
Hua Li picked up her travel bag and said, "It's not far away, we'll come back to visit you often."
He could manage tens of thousands of soldiers, but he found managing the few melons and twigs in his own home more difficult. Sun Bailing scratched his head.
"What's going on?" Luo Shicheng came up from downstairs and knew from the scene that the mother and daughter were arguing again.
Sun Bailing used to find Luo Shicheng annoying, but now he suddenly found him much more agreeable.
"Shicheng, control your wife."
Luo Shicheng: "I can't control her, she's the one who controls me. But I can try to persuade her."
Hua Li rolled her eyes at Luo Shicheng. "You don't need to persuade me. I want to go home. If you say that's not my home, I'll rent a place to live elsewhere."
Shen Suyin sneered, "You don't need to leave, I'll leave."
Sun Bailing got angry and quickly chased after him, begging for forgiveness.
Luo Shicheng coaxed Hua Li, "After all, he is an elder, don't make things too difficult for Dad."
Hua Li's tears fell. "If your mother disliked you and found fault with you every day, could you stand it?"
"Let's go..." Luo Shicheng took the travel bag from Hua Li's hand without saying a word.
The door wasn't closed, and Shen Suyin heard everything clearly, so she rushed out and said.
"Who hates you? I just want you to be better. If you have any problems, I'll say so. What, just because I'm your mother, does that mean I don't even have the right to criticize you and can only appease you?"
Sun Bailing and Luo Shicheng were like trying to solve one problem only to have another arise. The two of them were so busy that they were covered in sweat, but they still couldn't appease the mother and daughter they were carrying.
"Mommy..." A sweet little voice broke the silence as Luo Yan came over and asked Hua Li to hold her.
Hua Li bent down and picked up Luo Yan. Luo Yan wrapped her little arms around Hua Li's neck and kissed Hua Li on the cheek.
Hua Li was overjoyed by her daughter's affectionate kisses, and her eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan said, "I want my grandpa and grandma, I'm not leaving."
Hua Li immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll do whatever Yan Yan says."
"See? This is the right way for mothers and daughters to get along," Luo Yan said, turning to look at Shen Suyin, who was being blocked by Sun Bailing.
Seeing this, Shen Suyin turned her head away and stopped complaining about leaving.
Luo Yan got down from Hua Li's arms, ran into the house, and handed a nearly finished purse to Chen Suyin.
Hua Li discovered that her daughter had betrayed her and tried to rob her, but Shen Suyin quickly snatched the purse away.
The purse is the size of an adult's palm, and it is embroidered with the story of biting one's finger in grief from the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. Only the mother's face is not yet finished.
"Is this a gift for me?" Shen Suyin didn't look at Hua Li, but instead lowered her head to ask Luo Yan.
Luo Yan nodded, "Mom is taking Grandma."
Hua Li said in a muffled voice, "I was worried that you might be scared since someone died in the backyard, so I made a sachet to calm your mind and purify your body."
The embroidery depicts Zengzi and his mother. While most people know about the filial piety between mother and son in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, few remember that this mother and son also have a story behind it.
Now I am like Zeng Shen in that story, and you are like that loving mother who believed the rumors and is always suspicious of me.
My former adoptive parents had no other intentions than to love me. Even when Luo Shicheng and Liu Jingqiu made things difficult for me, I was able to grit my teeth and endure it because their selfless love gave me support.
Therefore, I'm giving you this purse, firstly out of concern for your health, and secondly in the hope that you won't jump to conclusions and constantly make things difficult for me.
Shen Suyin said sarcastically, "You're quite tough on me now, but back then, when Luo Shicheng squeezed you out and Liu Jingqiu forced you to the point where you couldn't even eat, why didn't you hold a grudge against them?"
Luo Shicheng, who had the least say, remained silent, standing to the side like a statue.
Sun Bailing glared at Luo Shicheng resentfully, but he didn't know how to persuade the mother and daughter.
Hua Li said frankly, "Because they hurt my body, not my heart, so I won't hold it against them."
Besides, I have a daughter to take care of. If I go and fight Liu Jingqiu to the death, who will take care of my daughter? If Luo Shicheng and I both suffer heavy losses, who will protect my daughter from the wind and rain in the future?
One sentence left Shen Suyin speechless.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. It was my fault. Let's go to sleep."
After finishing her sentence, Shen Suyin turned and went back into the house.
Sun Bailing stared longingly at Hua Li, who then carried her travel bag back to her room.
Luo Shicheng covered Xiao Xiu's head with his large hand, turned around, and walked back to his room.
Soon, only Luo Yan remained in the corridor.
Luo Yan looked left and right, her twin ponytails bobbing up and down with her movements, tracing angry arcs.
So you just use it and then throw it away, huh? I won't be able to ask her for help again next time, hmph.
Luo Yan crawled into the space and fell asleep immediately.
Luo Yan was sound asleep when Xiao Xiu woke her up.
"Get up quickly, the toy car that Grandma bought for us has arrived."
She didn't go back to her room to sleep last night, and her mother didn't even ask about it. Luo Yan was unhappy and turned her back to her for a short rest.
"Take a short break," Aunt Hua said. "She went to work and asked me to tell you to take her with you when you go into the space to sleep in the future, otherwise she won't be able to sleep well if she can't see her precious daughter."
Luo Yan immediately got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out into the space.
While Luo Yan was washing up, Xiao Xiu came out of the space and urged Luo Yan to hurry up.
Xiao Xiu is usually so steady, why is he in such a hurry?
Seeing that Luo Yan kept looking at him in the mirror above the sink, Xiao Xiu said shyly.
"The toy car is especially nice."
No matter how cute a toy car is, it's just a child's toy, and Luo Yan wasn't interested.
On her day off, Luo Yan woke up late. Everyone else had already finished eating, but she was the only one eating. So Aunt Shi put breakfast on the coffee table in the living room.
Luo Yan ate her meal slowly, with Xiao Xiu keeping her company.
Hua Li doesn't have fixed days off; she works a rotating schedule. Today, Hua Li has a shift and has already gone to work.
Sun Bailing went to a meeting in a neighboring city, and Shen Suyin accompanied him at her own expense. Xu Tianzhong had been away from home these days, and he went out as soon as Sun Bailing left.
Only Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu were left at home. Xiao Xiu couldn't sit still, standing up and sitting down repeatedly, which Luo Yan found rather strange.
Boys all love cars, especially in this era where it's hard to find toy cars. Luo Yan's car must be one of the best on the market, otherwise Xiao Xiu wouldn't be so excited.
After Luo Yan finished eating, Xiao Xiu grabbed Luo Yan's hand and ran out the door.
Luo Yan stared wide-eyed at the toy car Xiao Xiu had mentioned.
It was a Bugatti Type 52, produced in 1926 and limited to only 500 units worldwide, that she had seen at a car show before she transmigrated here. And there were two of them!!!
