The grandfather and grandson only brought back one large wooden box, inside which were the treasures carefully selected by Li Xiyue to ward off evil spirits.
Before Lu Feng and Zhuang Le woke up, the grandfather and grandson quickly went back to their room to wash up and go to sleep.
After sleeping for only two or three hours, Zhuang Le knocked on the door. Li Xiyue had caught up on her sleep and was quite energetic. Liao Qingshan, however, was getting old and rarely did heavy work late into the night, so he felt sore back and aches.
"Did you go thieving last night?" Zhuang Le teased, seeing how exhausted Liao Qingshan was.
Liao Qingshan was taken aback. He really had gone to steal, but he had stolen his own things.
Li Xiyue quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Grandpa rarely travels far, he must be tired from the car ride. Let him rest well, I'll go shopping with you."
"Okay, let's go." Zhuang Le took her arm and walked away happily.
Liao Qingshan went back to his room, locked the door, and continued to catch up on his sleep.
After shopping all day and buying a lot of things, Lu Feng followed them around the whole time, acting as their protector and carrying their things.
Li Xiyue noticed that Lu Feng's gaze towards Zhuang Le had changed, and she quietly asked, "Sister Lele, you didn't manage to win over Brother Lu, did you?"
"No," Zhuang Le shook his head. "I haven't had a chance to use what you taught me yet."
Li Xiyue replied, "But I feel that Brother Lu treats you differently."
"What's different?" Zhuang Le didn't notice any difference. "There's no difference."
Li Xiyue couldn't quite put her finger on it either. "It's a feeling, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
"Maybe it's because I saved the hero with my beauty, and he was impressed by my intelligence and wisdom." Zhuang Le finished speaking and then laughed shamelessly.
Li Xiyue was amused by her shamelessness.
Lu Feng, who was following behind, was puzzled. "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. We've had enough sightseeing, let's go home!"
Back at the hotel, after dinner, everyone went to bed early because of the cold weather.
The next day, Li Xiyue went to Grandma Zhang's house.
"Yueyue, you're back!" Grandma Zhang was overjoyed to see Li Xiyue. "Come in and sit down. Why did you bring so many things?"
She was all alone at home; her son and daughter-in-law had taken their grandson back to her parents' home.
Li Xiyue followed her into the house. "There's nothing here. It's been so many years. How is Grandma Zhang's health?"
"I'm perfectly fine." Grandma Zhang made a cup of brown sugar water before pulling her to sit down on the sofa. "Child, you must have suffered a lot in the countryside these past few years, right?"
Li Xiyue shook her head. "No, I'm doing great, Grandma. My maternal grandfather has found someone, and we're living in Beijing now. I've also found a partner, and we're getting married soon."
"Oh, that's wonderful! How is your grandfather's health? Is your partner from Beijing?"
“My maternal grandfather is in good health, and my partner’s family lives in Beijing.”
After looking her over, Grandma Zhang felt relieved. "Child, I'm relieved to see you're doing well. Have you gone back to the city? You don't have to go to the countryside anymore?"
"Yes, I'm back in the city. I'm working in Beijing." Li Xiyue took a sip of the sweet soup, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
"Okay, okay." Grandma Zhang wiped away her tears, then, remembering something, asked, "By the way, do you still want your house? If you do..."
"No need, we've bought a house in Beijing, and we probably won't be living here anymore." Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Tell your sister-in-law to let her nephew from her family feel at ease."
This old, dilapidated house has been occupied by Li Bowen's family for over ten years and is now filthy. She doesn't want it; she doesn't need a house now.
Grandma Zhang nodded and chatted with her about everyday things. When she talked about Li Bowen's family, she was still extremely indignant and gave the four of them a thorough dressing down.
After scolding her, he felt sorry for Li Xiyue and her mother, saying, "Your mother is such a good person, it's a pity she married the wrong person. Good child, she suffered in the past."
Then I thought about how she had finally overcome her hardships and was happy for her. "No pain, no gain; good fortune is yet to come."
Li Xiyue went to see Grandma Zhang, and Liao Qingshan also went out alone.
He visited a few old friends and also found someone to continue managing those houses, as well as to tidy up the clinic and manage it, so that it could be sold in a few years.
After arranging everything, he withdrew all the money from his savings account.
