The family had dinner and set off to the old house. In the car, the two brothers were very happy and kept talking.
"Mom, can you see grandma?" my brother asked.
Su Jinqi said: "Yes, grandma and aunt will come."
"Is she my sister-in-law? I miss my sister-in-law," my brother said.
The child's words made the three adults in the car feel sad.
"It's not my sister-in-law, it's my eldest aunt." Su Jinqi took a deep breath and told the two children: "Don't mention my sister-in-law when you see your grandma later. Do you understand? My sister-in-law can't come back. If you mention her, it's too much."
Grandma, Grandpa, and Grandma will all miss her. It’s Grandma’s birthday, so we should make her happy, right?"
After hearing this, the two brothers nodded obediently and said, "Mom, we understand."
Li Jinghan turned his head and glanced at the three of them, feeling unhappy. Mingcan straightened his back and looked forward. Only his white fingers could tell that he was trying his best to endure it.
When the car arrived at the old house, unexpectedly, Mrs. Li and the old man were standing in the yard waiting for them to come back.
The two younger brothers jumped out of the car first and ran towards the old couple, shouting happily: "Great grandpa, great grandma."
"Hey, my great-grandson!" The old couple hugged the child and were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
Li Jinghan and Su Jinqi came over from behind, "Grandma, be careful, these two little guys are very energetic now."
"Hahaha! No, when you pounced on me like that, I knew you had gained strength again, and you almost fell over!" the old lady said with a smile.
Su Jinqi hurried over to help him and said, "Grandma, I'd better help you. The little guy is neither light nor heavy. I'm scared just looking at him."
The old lady looked at Su Jinqi, with fondness in her eyes, and asked gently: "I heard from Jing Han that you were sick before, are you better now? You seem to be in good spirits."
"It's alright. Grandma, I asked you to follow me to worry."
"Jing Han didn't tell me at first, but then I missed you and asked him urgently, so he told me." The old lady said angrily.
"Grandma, let's go inside and talk. It's so cold, you and grandpa don't freeze." Li Jinghan said.
"Grandma, come into the house." Su Jinqi supported the old lady, followed by the old man holding his brother, and Li Jinghan holding his brother, and happily entered the house.
After the two brothers went in, they took their father and great-grandfather to play, leaving Su Jinqi and the old lady chatting in the living room.
"Grandma, what time are mom and eldest sister's flight?" she asked.
"I called just now. I have already got off the plane and am on my way back." The old lady said, "After IELTS left, YAZZ took her abroad. It's okay. We make video calls these days. I'll see if she's in good spirits."
It’s calming down a bit.”
"This is such a big blow. Are you and grandpa okay?"
"I feel uncomfortable, let's face reality." The old lady said helplessly, her eyes red.
While they were chatting, Xu Peirong and Li Yazi came back.
"Mom." Xu Peirong looked haggard, no longer as domineering as before.
Su Jinqi stood up and said, "Mom, are you back? How are you doing recently?"
She looked at Li Yazi again, "Sister."
Yasi's departure made the two people who had once ignored Su Jinqi become more restrained. They both nodded politely and smiled when they greeted her.
Xu Peirong sat next to the old lady, with a smile on her face, "Mom, happy birthday."
The old lady smiled happily and said, "When you come back this time, don't leave yet. I've had enough of living in the second child's house and want to go back to my old house. Please stay with me."
"Okay, I won't go back, I'll stay with mom."
Li Yazi and Su Jinqi sat together. The two of them didn't interact much and had nothing to talk about. They sat there awkwardly.
"Mom, I'll go upstairs and bring the two brothers down for you to take a look at." Su Jinqi stood up and said to Xu Peirong.
"Okay, go quickly, I miss them all."
In the children's room, the two little brothers had a great time playing with their father and great-grandfather, making a lot of noise.
Su Jinqi stood at the door and said, "Dad, my mother and eldest sister are back. I will take the children down and you can have a rest."
"You're back?" The old man took off the tiger mask from his face, sat on a chair, and said breathlessly: "Ask the servant to bring me a cup of tea."
"I know." Su Jinqi responded.
Li Jinghan said: "Let's go, I'll go down with you."
After taking the child out, Su Jinqi said: "Husband, I see that Mom is very haggard and looks very bad. I want to take her to Meiya's place one day and show her to Mom."
"That's fine. She has never forgiven herself for the IELTS matter. She is heartbroken." After Li Jinghan finished speaking, she lowered her head and said to the two brothers: "When you see grandma, you need to kiss me more."
"Is grandma in a bad mood?" The two brothers asked, "Does grandma miss my sister-in-law?"
"Yes. So you have to make grandma happy, do you understand?"
"knew."
As he was walking downstairs, he suddenly heard Xu Peirong yelling angrily: "What are you doing here? Do you still have the nerve to come?"
Li Jinghan and Su Jinqi looked at each other and hurriedly walked downstairs.
Li Zhenting held the child in his arms and said angrily to Xu Peirong: "It's my mother's birthday today, don't make her unhappy!"
Xu Peirong angrily hit him on the arm: "Are you still a human being? That vixen you raised outside gave birth to a beast for you, and IELTS was killed by you!"
Li Zhenting hid in a hurry, fearing to scare the child in his arms. But Peirong's hysterical appearance still frightened the child into crying.
Li Yazi hurriedly pulled her away and said, "Mom, calm down and sit down first."
"Get out of here!" Xu Peirong pushed Li Yazi away and shouted at Li Zhenting: "This is all your fault! Hand over Li Jingxiao to me!"
When Su Jinqi and Li Jinghan went downstairs, they saw Xu Peirong shouting at the top of her voice. She took the child and did not go there for the time being. Li Jinghan walked over quickly and pulled Xu Peirong over.
"Mom, it's grandma's birthday today, let's talk about anything tomorrow." Li Jinghan put her arms around Xu Peirong's shoulders and said softly.
"Jing Han..." Xu Peirong felt sad when she saw her son, tears fell instantly, and she cried loudly in her son's arms.
"Jing Han, I've heard it all. It was Li Jingxiao who did it. He killed Yasi!" Xu Peirong burst into tears.
Li Jinghan patted her shoulder and said, "Mom, I won't let Yasi die in the dark. Now that you are angry with Dad, he doesn't know anything. Let's not talk about this today, okay? Don't make grandma sad."
Xu Peirong was crying and speechless.
"You and eldest sister should go upstairs and rest first." After Li Jinghan finished speaking, he handed her over to Li Yazi.
The mother and daughter went upstairs. Li Jinghan looked at the crying child in Li Zhenting's arms, turned to look at Su Jinqi, and motioned for her to take the child away first.
