After leaving the hotpot restaurant run by Brother Jiang and his wife, Captain Jiang returned to the compound.
"Have you made an agreement with the boss and his wife?"
Seeing Captain Jiang enter the door, Cai Xiufen asked casually.
"Um."
Captain Jiang nodded.
"Boss, you don't have any face, do you?"
Cai Xiufen asked again. It wasn't that she wanted to think wrong about her eldest daughter-in-law. It was because the hot pot restaurant was doing well. Even if they hired people, when they got busy, there was no one to spare. Based on this consideration, Cai Xiufen couldn't help but worry. Sister Jiang will complain.
"Okay, she agreed happily and reassured us that she and the boss will take good care of the three children."
Captain Jiang told the truth. After hearing this, Cai Xiufen finally felt relieved. She said: "I have also agreed with the eldest sister. Ruirui and the others will have lunch and dinner at her place. However, I will give it to the eldest sister." I didn’t ask for the girl’s money.”
Captain Jiang: "Go back and tell your son-in-law, and he will return the favor."
"I thought the same thing as you."
Whether it was giving money or buying something else, Cai Xiufen believed that Luo Yanqing would return the favor.
Captain Jiang: "I'm leaving tomorrow. Go and clean up. Don't make yourself in a hurry before leaving."
"You don't need to say that?!"
Giving Captain Jiang a look, Cai Xiufen said, "I'll pack my things when I get back from the eldest sister's house. We'll just leave as soon as Mr. Jiang's car arrives tomorrow."
"Think more carefully tonight and don't leave anything behind."
Captain Jiang warned.
"What can I leave behind? Why don't you just bring a few changes of clothes for us, and some of Li Bao's favorite chili sauce and pickles."
Cai Xiufen made her own pickles and chili sauce, and Jiang Li liked to eat them when she was at home. Therefore, when Cai Xiufen packed the things she was going to bring tomorrow, she first used the canned bottles that had been washed and dried long ago to give them to her separately. Jiang Li pretended a little bit so as not to forget before he left.
"Have you packed all those little clothes, diapers, and little mattresses you made?"
Captain Jiang asked.
"No need to worry!"
Cai Xiufen once again gave Captain Jiang a look. She said, "I made those for our grandson. Li Bao called me half a month ago, and I packed them all that day."
Whether it was small clothes or diapers, she washed them cleanly, dried them, folded them neatly with the mattress, and put them in a big bag. Why did she need a big man to remind her? !
"Just pack it up."
Captain Jiang didn't care at all about the two big looks Cai Xiufen gave him.
after dinner.
Cai Xiufen packed up the kitchen and came to the living room. She and Captain Jiang told the three Mingrui children that they were going abroad tomorrow. After listening to what the two said, Mingrui said seriously without even thinking about it: "Grandma, grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters."
"Good boy, grandma knows that you are very sensible, but grandma and your grandpa are not at home. If you have anything to do, just go to your uncle and aunt, or go directly to your grandma. Don't be bullied and hold it all in. In my heart.”
To be honest, after several years of getting along, Cai Xiufen had developed feelings for her three cheap grandchildren. She was really worried that she would be away from them for a long time.
But there's nothing she can do if she can't worry anymore. She's just a daughter. Now, her daughter is about to give birth abroad. How can she, a mother, not be by her side?
But then again, she has already made arrangements for her three cheap grandchildren, so nothing will happen to them.
"Grandma, you and grandpa can go with ease. My sister, my brother, and I never take the initiative to have conflicts with others, but if anyone dares to bully us, we will naturally not stand and be beaten."
This is Minghan's voice.
"Grandma, my mother once told me and my eldest and second brothers that we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are not afraid of getting into trouble. If anyone dares to make us unhappy, we will make them unhappy. In short, we are not timid and will never do it. You are suffering for nothing and you are wronging yourself."
Mingwei clenched her fists and spoke with great force.
"Your mother is right, but grandpa hopes that you can tolerate it as long as you can. If you can't bear it, go to your uncle and uncle. It's best not to fight with others on impulse."
Captain Jiang had a solemn look on his face: "You are all still young. Fighting is not serious. If you are really injured, a small matter can turn into a big deal. This is not good."
Hearing what Captain Jiang said, Mingrui said, "Grandpa, don't worry, we know what's appropriate. My mother has emphasized more than once that we are not allowed to fight with others casually."
"That's good."
Captain Jiang nodded, his eyes full of relief.
…
The moonlight outside the window was as cool as water. Minghan was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She couldn't help calling her brother Mingrui softly: "Brother, can you come down and sleep?"
Mingrui asked: "What to do?"
"I want to talk to you."
Minghan stood up and was about to climb up to the upper bunk. At this time, Mingrui lifted the quilt on his body: "Okay, lie down, I will come down to accompany you."
Hearing this, Minghan grinned and lay down again with a silent smile.
"Say it."
Mingrui walked quietly to the lower bunk, and lay down next to Minghan: "I don't want to listen to nonsense."
"Brother, you are such a real person. I didn't even say anything. How do you know what I'm about to say is nonsense?"
Minghan was lying on his side facing his brother Mingrui. He blinked and whispered, "Grandma and I will go abroad to visit our mother tomorrow. Will our father also come there after a while?"
"Don't beat around the bush."
Mingrui's tone was not very good.
"Don't you want to go visit mom?"
Minghan asked his brother Mingrui, but he didn't hear a response. He couldn't help but said to himself: "I want to go. I miss my mother very much. I haven't seen her for more than half a year. I can't wait to fly to my mother now." Go around."
Mingrui: "You don't want to go to school?"
"Can I ask for leave?"
Minghan said with a slightly nasal voice: "I don't know who in our class spread rumors that my mother ran away with someone. I was very angry when I heard that my mother went to study abroad, but some classmates didn't believe it. I was really angry at the time. I want to beat them up.”
"Are you brainless?"
Mingrui's eyes were full of disgust, but the room was dark and Minghan didn't see it. He said, "Many people in our compound know that mom is studying abroad, not to mention that mom calls us every half month. Phone calls, and letters are sent back every month, and there are photos in the letters, don’t you know this?”
"Know."
Minghan responded in a muffled voice.
Mingrui: "Now that you know, do you still care about those gossips?"
"But they said bad things about my mother, and I felt uncomfortable hearing the letter."
Minghan sniffed and said, "Actually, I'm also worried that my mother will be with someone else abroad, and then she won't want you, me, my sister, and our father..."
"Thank you for figuring it out."
Mingrui pinched his brother Minghan's ear: "Be smart, you don't know what our mother does to us?"
Minghan rubbed the ear that was pinched by her brother and said aggrievedly: "Of course I understand, but my mother is so young and beautiful, there will definitely be many men who like her, and my father is not only several years older than my mother, the most important thing is that we Dad is so busy that he doesn’t have time to spend time with mom. Even if he finally takes a vacation at home, it’s hard to see a smile. Do you think mom is happy with a person like our dad? "
"You really know how to worry!"
Mingrui glared at his younger brother Minghan angrily: "Prick up your ears and listen to me. Our dad and mom are in a good relationship. If you talk nonsense again, be careful I'll slap you!"
"My dad is just a big ice cube, and with the three of us being trolls, I don't think he's good at all. Why did mom marry our dad in the first place?"
"Who are you calling a dragster?"
"Aren't you, my sister, my sister, and your eldest brother a drag?"
Minghan snorted softly: "It is our father's blessing to marry my mother, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. He only knows how to work. If I were my mother, I would...I would kick our father away and find a better one." Married."
"You can leave this to Dad."
He's not a big man, and he doesn't know what's going on in his mind all day long. One moment he's worried about his stepmother getting along with another man, and the next moment he feels injustice for his stepmother. He really doesn't want to pay attention to this stupid brother anymore.
"Brother, this is what I think. When my father goes abroad to visit my mother, I will ask my father to ask for leave for me. Then I will go with my father. If my mother gets along with someone else, I will help her. Our dad snatched mom back, what do you think?"
"Do you believe that if I tell your parents what you said, there will be a mixed doubles match waiting for you?"
"..."
Minghan curled up in bed: "Brother, you didn't hear anything tonight, and I didn't say anything either."
"You were ranked number one in age in the exam. With your brain, I really doubt how you got number one in the exam."
Mingrui's tone was full of disgust: "If mom thought our dad wasn't good enough, and thought that you, Weiwei, and I were just dragoons, would she have married my dad back then?
Will you always treat us well? Besides, the younger brothers and sisters our mother is pregnant with are also our father’s children. Have you forgotten this? "
"I was thinking too much, brother, I was wrong, don't be angry."
Minghan admits his mistake.
"I can't be bothered to get angry with a big fool."
Mingrui continued to dislike his younger brother Minghan. He said, "I don't care whether my stepmother is good or bad. Just think about the one next door to us. Think about what life has been like for Wen Yue and her sisters in the past few years. Then think about us." What a day it was.
After thinking about it clearly, just say what you said before, are they worthy of our mother? Luo Minghan, do you know what a white-eyed wolf is? "
"Brother, I really know I was wrong! But can you not accuse me wrongly? I'm not saying that my mother is not good, I mean that my mother is very good, that's why I have such worries."
"I don't care what you think now. From now on, remember, if you dare to be a white-eyed wolf, don't blame me for beating you to the ground!"
After being warned by his brother, Minghan didn't take it seriously at all. He said: "In our family, who loves my mother the most, it is me, Luo Minghan. Even if one day someone forces me to go against my mother with a knife, I will even I wouldn’t do anything to make my mother sad even if it cost me my own life!”
Minghan said this very seriously.
Although he doesn't remember very clearly what happened when he was two or three years old, he has always felt and seen his mother's kindness to him in the past few years.
That is definitely out of true love for his son!
"Go to sleep."
There is nothing to say about his stepmother's character. Over the past few years, he and his younger siblings have been basically taught by his stepmother. He believes that his younger siblings are all as straight and upright as little white poplars and will not become white-eyed wolves one day.
Of course, he was included.
After all, he had already remembered the moment when his stepmother came in, and knew clearly whether his stepmother was sincere or fake towards their brother and sister.
As his thoughts turned to this, Mingrui couldn't help but think of his biological mother. He could no longer remember what she looked like, but he had not forgotten the sins he had suffered at the hands of his biological mother.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that neither Mingrui nor the twins knew that their biological mother was still alive in the world, let alone that their biological mother was a psychopath and a love brain. They did not know that this biological mother hid it from the family. The person has already boarded the flight back home.
Time passed very quickly. Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen had been on the work plane with Jiang Boya for eight or nine hours.
foreign.
Jiang family manor.
"Li Li, your father and mother-in-law will get off the plane in two or three hours. Grandpa will arrange a car to go to the airport. Do you have anything to tell the driver?"
Jiang Li and Allen were walking in the garden. When they heard Jiang Hongfa's voice behind them, she stopped and turned to look at each other: "No."
What can she say?
The Jiang family was wealthy and had bodyguards following them when they went out. They just went to the airport to pick someone up, so Mr. Jiang sent three cars. In her opinion, it was actually a waste of resources.
"Well, grandpa will order them to set off now."
Jiang Hongfa looked kind. When Jiang Li nodded, he turned around and spoke to the housekeeper who was following him, and then the two of them gradually walked away.
"Why don't you want to speak more?"
"In no mood."
"There must be a reason, right?"
"No."
"Are you just too innocent to want to speak?"
"Um."
"But your mother hopes that you can speak and be like a normal child. You know this, right?"
"Um."
"Ellen... I'm your sister, I'm a relative. We are related by blood. I hope you can be happy and do what you want to do."
"I'm not welcome... I shouldn't have been born..."
"It seems that you heard what Mr. Jiang and your mother said when they met before, and you took it to heart."
The young man remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Then you should know that you are not unpopular, especially to your mother. If she didn't like you, why would she choose to give birth to you?
As for Mr. Jiang... he didn't know you existed at first, and what happened between your mother and Mr. Jiang was a bit hurtful to Mr. Jiang's male dignity.
So... after knowing that you are there, he can't help but feel a little repulsive, but this does not mean that he hates you. Otherwise, Mr. Jiang would not have gone to the hospital for testing in order to save you when your mother first came to him. "
Allen pursed his lips, and after a while, he said, "But he doesn't recognize me."
"You mean, you want Mr. Jiang to acknowledge your son in person?"
Jiang Li looked at the young man walking beside her: "If you really think so, sister can help you talk to Mr. Jiang."
Clinker, the young man shook his head, but still said: "He doesn't recognize me."
"Alan, although Mr. Jiang did not acknowledge you on his lips, I believe that in his heart, he acknowledged the existence of your son."
Speaking of this, Jiang Li was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, everyone has their own difficulties, just like me, I still don't recognize Mr. Jiang and Mr. Jiang as my grandfather and father.
I know that Mr. Jiang was forced to abandon my biological mother and the unborn me many years ago, and I also know that Mr. Jiang has been kind to me since I came here, but I don’t want my parents to be sad. After all, I have been without my parents for many years. If I had been raised carefully, I wouldn’t be who I am now.
Based on this alone, I cannot recognize Mr. Jiang as my father. What’s more, my parents, and even other people in my family love me and dote on me. How could I recognize Mr. Jiang just because of our blood relationship? Are your parents feeling uncomfortable? "
The young man said, "I..." But after he uttered one word, he had no words for a while.
"Ellen, you are very smart. My sister thinks there are some things that we don't need to dig into, but I will still talk to Mr. Jiang and ask him what he thinks about you."
Jiang Li paused, and the boy beside her also stopped.
"Alan, look me in the eyes."
The boy met her eyes.
"Sister said she would ask for you, and she will definitely do what she says."
"Um."
The boy nodded, indicating that he understood.
The two continued to walk in the garden until Jiang Li felt tired. The two returned to the villa, but after a while, Allen said goodbye and left.
In the middle of the afternoon, Fu's mother came to Jiang Li and said, "Little miss, I have arranged for your parents' room to be tidied up."
"Thanks!"
Jiang Li smiled: "Please tell Fu Ma and the servants not to call me little miss from now on."
Hearing this, Fu Ma was startled for a moment, then thought of something, and her expression was respectful: "Okay."
In fact, Fu's mother immediately went to Jiang Hongfa's study after Jiang Li supported her bulging belly and walked out of the living room.
"master."
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Hong handed out the documents in his hand, took off his reading glasses, pinched his eyebrows, and then looked at Fu Ma.
"The little lady just told me that from now on, the servants should stop calling her little lady."
Fu's mother lowered her head and didn't hear Jiang Hongfa's voice for a long time. She asked, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"...Let's go with what Li Li said first..."
It was not difficult for Jiang Hongfa to think of why Jiang Li ordered Fu Ma like that, it was just because he was worried about what her parents would think.
But he only had a granddaughter in the Jiang family, and he couldn't always let the little girl deny her ancestors and return to the clan. After all... After all, he still thought that the little girl could let her have a child named Jiang to continue the Jiang family's legacy.
Fu Ma: "Then I'll go and inform the servants at home."
Jiang Hongfa: "Go."
Waving his hands, Jiang Hongfa turned his eyes back to the documents after Fu Ma left.
Two hours ago, Captain Jiang and his wife followed Jiang Boya off the plane, got into the Jiang family's car, and drove all the way towards the Jiang family manor.
"We'll be there in about ten minutes."
Jiang Boya was sitting in the passenger seat. He turned around and said something to Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen.
"Her uncle, I just wanted to say thank you to you when I saw you that day. Thanks to you taking care of my Li Bao, she can go to school and raise her baby safely."
Cai Xiufen's words came from the bottom of her heart, but in Jiang Boya's ears, they felt a little uncomfortable.
He is obviously taking care of his own daughter, but he still has to accept the thanks from the little girl's adoptive parents. This is a bit frustrating no matter how you think about it.
"If I want to say thank you, it's my turn to thank my sister-in-law and Brother Jiang. If it weren't for Li Li, I would either still be in a coma or be buried underground.
You don’t know that after Li Li came here, she talked to me every day and told me stories. It was precisely because she insisted on doing this for a long time that I woke up from my coma. It can be said that Li Li Li gave me new life. "
"Uncle, you're too polite. When your old lady was still here, she was really kind to my Li Bao, just like she would treat her own granddaughter. Whenever anything good happened, she always thought of my Li Bao. Maybe it was Li Bao and you. The old lady at home really hit it off,
In short, including my son-in-law and the rest of my family, we all got along very well with your old lady. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are a family.
By the way, the old lady has spent New Year’s Eve with my Li Bao almost every year since she became friends with her. "
Cai Xiufen said with a smile, Jiang Boya felt sour and uncomfortable after hearing this.
His granddaughter was clearly right in front of him, but his mother couldn't recognize the little girl because of their family's background... And as for him, why couldn't he return to the country earlier?
If he had gone back two or three years earlier, he would have been able to see his mother again.
Feeling a little depressed involuntarily, Jiang Boya said nothing more to avoid being noticed by Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen.
The car drove into the manor.
Jiang Liben was sitting in the living room when she heard the sound of a car driving in from the gate of the villa. She slowly stood up holding her belly, then walked towards the door of the living room.
"Dad! Mom!"
When the car stopped, Jiang Li saw Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufen getting out of the car. His eyes and nose immediately became sore, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Li Bao!"
Captain Jiang's eyes were red, and Cai Xiufen, not caring about taking the luggage in the car, also had red eyes, and walked quickly towards her precious daughter.
"mother……"
Assisted by Axiang and Alan to walk down the steps, Jiang Li reached out and hugged his old mother when Cai Xiufen came to her.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?"
Cai Xiufen advised her precious daughter: "Okay, okay, stop crying. You are pregnant with a child. If you continue to cry, what if you give birth to a baby?"
As she said this, Cai Xiufen couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.
"Li Bao is pregnant. If you don't help her in quickly and sit down, what's the point of crying here?"
Captain Jiang came over with his hands full of luggage. He forced the wetness out of his eyes and muttered to Cai Xiufen.
"Who's crying?"
Cai Xiufen glared at Captain Jiang, and then said to Jiang Li: "Quickly shut up, didn't you hear what your father said?"
Helping her daughter to walk up the steps slowly, Cai Xiufen asked, "Have you been feeling any weird lately?"
Jiang Li shook his head.
Cai Xiufen: "Looking at it this way, I'm afraid it will be a few days before you start."
Jiang Li: "I can't say for sure."
"Yes, based on your date, you may launch it at any time in the next eleven or two days."
Cai Xiufen said and glanced at her baby girl's bulging belly: "This belly doesn't look particularly big."
"This shows that the babies understand me as a mother."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "They are very obedient and don't make trouble for me very much."
"Yan Qing has a good temper, and his children will naturally have a good temper as well."
Hearing what his mother said, Jiang Li pretended to be aggrieved: "Does it mean that your daughter has a bad temper?"
Cai Xiufen said casually: "You are just a squeamish person."
"I don't think so."
A squeamish bag?
The original owner is, but she is not...well, she can be a little squeamish occasionally, but this is in front of Professor Luo and her biological parents. As for other people, she is strong!
Then catch the bugs. . .
