However, I was also worried that the bee might fly right up to my father's face and get swatted to the ground.
"No, Dong Lan and I already agreed that Duoduo would live in that house until she gets married and has her own family before we sell it. Besides, the fact that neither of us wants custody of the child after our divorce means that we've already hurt her."
This is the first time you've come to my place in all these years, and you want me to bring this up with the kids?
Besides, the factory's problems can't be solved with just a few million. And you're not allowed to mention mortgaging your parents' house. This is a hurdle we have to overcome eventually. If we can't get over it, the worst that can happen is bankruptcy. Don't worry, even if the factory goes bankrupt, I can still support you and your family.
The cash flow problem is not mainly due to my mismanagement. We can't collect the outstanding payments from external suppliers, we can't pay for the raw materials in Changli, and our products are piling up in the warehouse because we can't keep up with the updates and can't be sold.
"Don't worry about these things, just take good care of the children," Hong's father said softly.
"But how can I not worry when I see you looking so troubled and unable to sleep? Was that a call from the bank just now? The loan assessment didn't go through, right? Ouch." Aunt Ling was lost in thought as she spoke, and the toothpick she used to remove the shrimp vein got stuck in her finger.
"Be careful, did you hurt yourself? Let me check."
"No, it's just a toothpick, not a sharp knife. Alright, go and be with your daughter."
As the conversation in the kitchen ended, Hong's father came out and sat down opposite Hong Xiaoduo again.
Just then, the door opened, and two boys entered first, followed by a woman in her fifties holding a cute little girl in her arms.
"Xiaolong, Xiaohu, Xiaofeng, come here, this is your big sister, call her quickly." Father Hong reached out and hugged the girl, speaking to the two children who were looking at Hong Xiaoduo.
"sister."
"elder sister."
"Big sister." The three children looked at Hong Xiaoduo and called out to her.
"I'll go help Yuling cook." The woman glanced at Hong Xiaoduo, said to Hong's father, looked around the living room, and went to the kitchen.
The two boys went into the room next door together and closed the door.
Hong's father told Hong Xiaoduo that the woman was a live-in nanny who usually helped with cleaning and took the eldest and second eldest children to kindergarten. She had just taken the three children for a walk in the community park to enjoy the sunshine because of the good weather.
“Dragon, tiger, and phoenix, that’s great, we have land, sea, and air,” Hong Xiaoduo joked.
Hong's father had been watching his eldest daughter's expression closely. He felt that she really wasn't unhappy, so he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as well: "The policy allows us to have children now, and there's no problem with raising them even if we don't have the means. Your aunt also likes children."
While her father was peeling longans for the child in his arms, Hong Xiaoduo quickly used her mind to enter her spatial dimension, intending to retrieve the bees that were still in the kitchen. Just then, she saw the woman lean close to Aunt Ling's ear and say, "His daughter came empty-handed? She's such a grown-up, how can she be so inconsiderate?"
Even buying some cheap fruit would be better. You two have been married for years, and you can't get anyone to come. This sudden appearance... could it be something wrong? Maybe they're here to ask for money?
