"You don't understand the bond we shared. They don't have those shady ideas. I know what's going on, so stop nagging me."
Xu Mengyao's face froze and she turned to look out the window.
Grandpa Qi sat in the front row, listening to the brother and sister's lawsuit and trying to persuade them.
"Wenbin, for your comrades to rest well, and to save your reputation, Juan dragged me to look around for guesthouses all morning today, and finally booked the most expensive one. She's been responsible for everything inside and outside these years, and she even came all the way to Hai City to help us live a good life. You can't let her down."
Huang Wenbin looked at his sister who turned sideways and ignored him, and sighed.
"Grandpa Qi, sometimes I can't tell who's the eldest. She's four years younger than me, but she's always worried about me. It wasn't like this back home. And my mom and Wenrong have changed too. They're not the same as before."
"So do you think they have become better or worse? Would you still be willing to go back to your hometown to live there?" Grandpa Qi asked.
Huang Wenbin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice:
"I don't want to. Life at home is getting better and better, and they're getting more powerful. This time, we need money for our family business, and each of them is contributing hundreds of thousands. The money I've saved from working, plus my retirement allowance, only amounts to a few thousand. I've worked very hard, but it's still useless compared to them."
"Brother, why do you think so?"
Xu Mengyao no longer cared about being angry and asked in surprise.
This is the first time I heard Huang Wenbin say these words. I didn’t expect that the elder brother who looks carefree usually has sensitive thoughts.
"We three sisters have always admired you. When my older sister and I were bullied at school, you helped us solve the problem and taught those people a lesson. Later, you saved Maomao. Our two families have been connected entirely because of your bravery. When you knew that Brother Hu's family was in trouble, you tried to help him. That's why our mother was able to open a snack business in front of the school. Later, our family had helpers like Brother Shaozi and others."
"You're also loyal and helped Brother Jiezi. Our dad was transferred to a more relaxed unit because of you, and our family was able to enter the coal business because of your good relationship with the Sun family. Even the drivers we needed the most were recruited by you. Big brother, you've made the greatest contribution to our family."
Xu Mengyao's approval immediately made Huang Wenbin's mood better.
"Juan, do you really think so?"
"It's not just me who thinks so, everyone thinks so, right, Grandpa Qi." She looked for allies.
"Yes, Binzi, if it weren't for you, Maomao wouldn't have been kidnapped to who knows where. We old couple are most grateful to you. Later, we adopted you as our godson and gained so many relatives. It's so wonderful. And you've only been working on the railway for half a year, and my old partner praised you, saying that you are a spirited young man with a sense of responsibility. Many people want to find you as their son-in-law."
Grandpa Qi said with a smile, his tone full of pride.
