The car stopped in front of the Chen family's house, and Zhuang Le's eyes lit up. After a long while, he said, "What a loss! What a loss! How many good days have we lost?"
"So, come back early and enjoy the good life; if you don't come back, you'll continue to suffer losses," Old Zhuang chimed in from the side.
Zhuang Le nodded, "Master, you're right."
Old Zhuang: "..."
This child is acting strange today. Could it be that he got his head caught in the door after getting up?
Chen Qinghe was already waiting. He had called all of his family members, including his brothers and sisters, as well as his deceased wife's family. Although his maternal grandparents had passed away, his two uncles and two aunts were still alive.
The whole family warmly welcomed them into the house.
"You're Lele?"
The eldest and second aunts held Zhuang Le's hands on either side, looking him over.
"So alike, so alike, she looks just like my third sister."
"His demeanor and appearance are exactly like those of my third sister."
The two uncles also said with tears in their eyes, "Lele, you have suffered all these years."
They said that Chen Yun didn't look like either his father or mother, but rather like a wet nurse, so he wasn't actually his sister's child at all.
Look, this is my sister's real child, so much better than that fake one.
Back then, my sister had just passed away, and there were no elderly people in the Chen family to help out. Zhang Ma was someone we had chosen long ago to take care of my sister during her postpartum period and to breastfeed her baby.
They were so immersed in grief over their sister's passing that they didn't think about anything else.
Who would have thought that Zhang Ma was this kind of person, secretly switching her sister's child.
If they had known this would happen, they should have taken the child into their home to care for her. That way, their niece wouldn't have been living away from home for over twenty years.
"Lele, good child, don't be afraid. From now on, your uncles and aunts will protect you, and no one will dare to bully you anymore." The uncles and aunts also gathered around.
The aunt immediately stuffed a red envelope into her hand, saying, "Lele, take this. I am your aunt. Although your mother is gone, your aunt is still here. Your aunt will definitely love you as her own daughter."
Everyone else also gave Zhuang Le red envelopes.
Zhuang Le suddenly found her hands full of red envelopes, feeling everyone's pampering and doting on her, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
"Lele just got back, everyone, don't scare her." Chen Qinghe walked over and invited everyone to sit down and talk.
Li Xiyue helped Zhuang Le put away the red envelopes, and then accompanied her to visit 'her own home'.
The Chen Qinghe family expressed their gratitude to Old Zhuang and Lu Feng, and finally gave Old Zhuang and Lu Feng a sum of money each.
Lu Feng refused to accept it no matter what.
Old Master Zhuang also wanted to refuse, but the Chen and Leng families insisted that he accept it, saying that refusing it would be blaming them. He couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it, intending to give it to Zhuang Le as a dowry in the future.
“Is your house very big? Now it’s my turn to envy you,” Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Zhuang Le nodded, then shook his head. "I never admitted it was my home."
“Just admit it, it’s not shameful. Didn’t your grandmaster say that it would be a loss if you didn’t come back?” Li Xiyue gave her a way out. “You can disown your father, but you can’t not take the benefits.”
Zhuang Le immediately had a reason: "That's true. This is what I've always wanted. I've suffered for so many years, and now I'm finally living a good life. Why shouldn't I take it?"
"Yes, we absolutely cannot force ourselves to endure hardship."
Zhuang Le was pulled aside by her relatives to talk, and Li Xiyue went to the restroom and came out to find Chen Qinghe seemingly waiting for her.
"Uncle Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Qinghe said in a low voice, "I have a friend who is sick. Could you please go and take a look at him?"
Knowing that Li Xiyue loved money, he added, "Don't worry, whether the treatment is successful or not, the medical expenses will not be less."
He's already put it this way, how could Li Xiyue possibly refuse?
Chen Qinghe was in a hurry, so he left the room full of guests and took Li Xiyue out the door.
