"Changhei, you've been making such a fuss for a long time because you wanted to be with your Grandpa Li. If you had told me earlier, I would have given you to him as his grandson.
Tsk tsk, to be honest, I am really happy that you have the self-awareness to resign from the Wen family.
I wish you and Old Li will be together forever, and never bring disaster to other people's families again."
"You old woman, you really don't want to take me in. You want to drive me away whenever you get the chance. You all dislike me."
Wen Bibo nodded. "That's right, I really never said I wanted you to come back. I'll take you in for a while, and then let you go out and live on your own once you find a suitable home. That was clear from the beginning, right?
Now it's all right, Wen Changhei, you follow your Grandpa Li, and I really don't care whether your life will be good or bad in the future."
Old man Li rolled his eyes and tried to persuade with a simple and honest look.
"Well, elder sister, you don't have to talk about children like that. Children need to be coaxed and persuaded. Elder sister, you hurt Chang Hei's heart so much, he will definitely stay away from you in the future.
I was also worried that he might go astray when he was alone outside, so I came to help and take care of him.
Don't worry, my dear sister, your grandson is still your grandson. I won't steal him from you. I'll just stay with him temporarily. When he learns to be polite, I'll send him back to you."
His attitude was very sincere, which made the Wen family unable to figure out Old Man Li's true thoughts.
The old lady knew what he was planning at the first glance.
"No, the eldest branch and I live separately. My retirement and funeral arrangements will be taken care of by my other children.
Whether Changhei is sensible or not is none of my business. After all, we have separated. Even if you want to accept this favor, you can go find Mr. and Mrs. Wen if you have the chance in the future.
Besides, haha, I really don’t mind having one less grandson. After all, my children and grandchildren who are eager to be filial to me don’t need one more.”
Old man Li's simple smile froze, and the others understood what he had said.
Xiushui and others also realized that this old man Li had been planning to use Changhei from the beginning to establish a good relationship with the Wen family.
He has a good plan.
Heimei was still young after all. Even though she understood what her grandma said, she still pulled Xiushui's clothes, not quite understanding what she was saying.
"Sister, I still don't understand why Old Man Li suddenly wants to build a good relationship with our family? Grandma, what you mean is that he wants to use Heiniwa to get closer to our family, right?
But our family isn't that important, is it? If we want to curry favor with someone, shouldn't we curry favor with the village chief and the clan leaders? "
Xiushui touched her head.
"In the past, our family really wasn't anything worth currying over, but sister, don't you think that with so many things happening recently, our family members are greeted with smiles wherever they go?"
"ah?"
Hei Mei plays every day, so how could she pay attention to the changes in other people's attitudes towards their family?
After her sister reminded her, she compared the facts and finally confirmed it.
"Well, ever since you came to see the doctor, many people have greeted us with smiles. So, has our family's status improved?"
"Yes, it has improved. Even those with a quick mind can see that our family has a very high say in the refugee group.
It’s no exaggeration to say that now even the old village chief has to listen to us more.”
Xiushui said this in a low voice and warned the little guy.
"These are good things, but they also carry some responsibility, so there's no need to shout about it. Just know it.
Old Li is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is quite smart.
Ever since grandma spoke up in support of his wife's successful divorce, he should have realized that our family's status is not ordinary.
What she said carried a lot of weight. If it were in the past, even if Grandma supported Third Grandma in divorcing her husband, she would most likely not succeed.
But now, under special circumstances, Third Grandma succeeded in divorcing her husband. He realized that if he wanted to be with Third Grandma again, he had to please her.
More importantly, being close to our Wen family will be beneficial for him to stay in the village in the future.
Anyway, it was just a matter of talking, and Changhei was fooled, so he just treated it as picking up a grandson to live with.
If we don't remember our kindness, he won't be disappointed by having a grandson for nothing."
The little black girl widened her eyes, thought for a while, and finally sighed.
“I discovered that the adult world is so complicated.
Forget it, I'll ask my apprentice to teach him how to identify medicine."
Seeing her happily running to find Liu Zishi and Qiangwei, Xiushui was envious. The world of children is really simple.
It's impossible for her, a pseudo-teen, to be naive.
After Old Man Li took Wen Changhei back angrily, Changhei fell silent for a rare time.
Until Old Man Li stuffed the bowl into his hands.
"Changhei eats."
Wen Changhei picked up the noodles and looked at him playfully.
"Master, so the reason you took me in was to get closer to the Wen family. Tsk, I thought you really wanted to take me in and treat me well.
In the end, I discovered that I was just a piece of stone that you used. There is really no such thing as a free meal in this world."
"Yes, I want to keep you close to the Wen family. After all, the Wen family has the most say, and they have more opportunities to speak well of you in front of my wife.
But now this road is blocked by your grandma. I can't take advantage of it, but it's also good for you.
You and I have no choice but to live together and take care of each other.
Or we can leave the team and go out on our own. But do you and I dare to go out alone?
No, then let’s just accept the reality calmly and rely on each other to get to the end of the world.
I, an old man, don't support people who eat for free. We are just making do with each other. If we can get along well in the future, it is our destiny.
If not, I can only say that I, an old man, am destined to be alone, and I accept it."
His frankness actually stunned Wen Changhei, and he rarely lost his temper like usual.
After finishing his meal, seeing that Wen Changhei was still in a daze, he sneered.
"You said I was using you, but in fact, weren't you using me?
Boy, don't think that you are the only one who has a brain and we don't.
Today's incident taught me another fact: it is better to be down-to-earth in life.
It's no use always thinking of some unconventional ways. If you treat others as fools, others will treat you as a fool.
You wanted to use me to make them pay attention to you, but failed, and finally you followed me out of anger and shame.
How is it realistic for you to regain the favor you once had in the Wen family?
Now that you've been slapped in the face, your face must be hurting, right?"
"Don't make any noise, old man! I'll beat you to death."
Old Man Li shook his head. "You can't beat me. And, young man, don't get upset if your secrets are touched upon.
What you need to learn now is how to calm down and how to be a down-to-earth person.
In fact, as long as you honestly do your best, they will really accept you..."
