“If you let him come back now, he would have suffered for nothing in the past half month. He will rebound even worse than before when he comes back. Mom, do you have enough money in your hands?”

“What money? There’s enough living expenses.” Jia Xiufang didn’t react.

“I mean the money in your hands. Is it enough for your son to pay for making trouble in the future? If he breaks someone’s leg, well have to pay 20,000. If your son’s leg gets broken, the other party won’t compensate, and you’ll still have to pay the medical bills…”

“Chen Xiaoqian! Are you not hoping for your brother to get better?”

“I’m telling the truth. If he comes out now, he will definitely cause trouble. Hold your ground! Don’t be soft-hearted! How did you promise me? No matter how hard it is for him, you have to endure it.”

“What should I do then? He cried on the phone.” Jia Xiufang can’t bear to see her children suffer. When her son begged her, she felt that her heart was being torn apart.

“Unplug the telephone line. In half a month, your old son will be more honest when he comes out.”

Xiao Qian hung up Jia Xiufang’s call, thought for a while, and then made a call to the boss of the studio where her brother was.

“Sister Qian! What can I do for you? Just say the word!” Studio Boss Li was very respectful to Xiao Qian. This woman knew Brother Xu. She was definitely not an ordinary person.

“How has my younger brother been performing lately?”

“He’s been getting a bit bored, screaming every day to go home. I followed your instructions and scared him every time he mentioned going home. This morning, he spent half a day in the restroom with red eyes. Sister, what should I do now?”

“Give him some chicken legs in his meals, buy some delicious food, ask the restaurant to make him some nourishing soup every day, and buy some eye drops for relieving eye fatigue. Take him to the bathhouse at night, have a bath and scrape his back. All these expenses go to my account.”

Boss Li didn’t understand and asked cautiously, “Sister, what do you mean?”

“Don’t be too harsh on him in life. Playing games is tiring, and he’s still growing. Supply him with good food and drink, take him for back scraping and foot massage once a week, and all these are fine. But at work, strict requirements are a must. Scare him according to my instructions. If he tries to run, doesn’t want to work, or doesn’t play games well and gets bored, then—” “Scare him? Yes, Sister, I got it. Don’t bother giving me extra money. Your brother is playing really well, and he has made a lot of good equipment. This is enough. Please help me say a few good words to Brother Xu.”

“I know what to do, you won’t be at a loss.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qian estimated that in about ten more days, her playboy younger brother who was eager to mingle in society would also understand the harm of the game. By then, this naive child could cause her less trouble and stay in school for a few more years.

During the National Day holiday, the school had a few days off. Xiao Qian didn’t go straight home but bought some food and went to the countryside by car.

She wanted to visit her grandmother.

Although Jia Xiufang and Chen Lin were divorced now, the news hadn’t come over yet, and Chen Lin didn’t dare to tell his elderly mother about it.

Xiao Qian grew up with her grandmother, and their affection was still strong. Although her parents were divorced, these family bonds couldn’t be lost.

Grandmother lived alone in the countryside, her body was still healthy, she lived alone in a small mud house, and her sons asked her to move to the city, but she refused, saying she couldn’t get used to it. Jia Xiufang and a few sisters-in-law would come over whenever they had time, do some farm work and wash clothes, and take the old lady to the city during the holidays.

The old lady was delighted to see Xiao Qian coming.

Of all her grandchildren, this one was the most sensible, and she knew to come back and visit.

There were peanuts planted behind the old lady’s yard that were not yet pulled out. Xiao Qian wore a countryside-style protective gown, wrapped her head with a scarf, and helped the old lady pull out the peanuts.

“Grandma, you’re so old, don’t plant these anymore.”

“While I still can, I want to plant some. You all live in the city, and the cooking oil you buy isn’t good. I’ll send it to your homes after I process it. Qian’er, why didn’t your mom come?”

“She’s busy with the store.” The truth was Jia Xiufang didn’t know how to come because it was awkward after the divorce.

The grandmother and granddaughter chatted and did farm work together. When Xiao Qian saw her grandmother’s skinny body moving slowly, she felt sad.

The old lady was so stubborn, refusing to leave the village. Now that she was old and had a bad heart, she was even more worried about her grandmother when she saw her.

“Grandma, you should move to the city. Go to Fourth Uncle’s house. Fourth Aunt is such a good person, not like my First Uncle and Second Uncle. My family can also help out.”

Although her mother was divorced, Xiao Qian couldn’t let Jia Xiufang serve her grandmother. It would be awkward for both parties, but she was willing and able to support her own grandmother as a granddaughter in other ways.

“In a couple of years, I won’t be able to move, and I’ll have to go to the city. Right now, I can still move, so I don’t want to trouble you guys. Old people are always annoying wherever they go.”

“With me around, who would dare to bully you? Grandma, you sit here and rest for a while. I’ll go scoop some water for you to drink.”

Xiao Qian left her grandmother in the backyard and went to the front yard herself to fetch water. The water vat was on the steps, and standing there, she could see quite far. Suddenly, she saw a group of people coming this way. The one in front seemed familiar.

On closer look, wasn’t it Chu Xue?

Seeing her coming this way, Xiao Qian had a bad feeling.

Chu Xue’s old home was not in this village. Why did she bring a group of people here? It was certain that she was not here for anything good.

Xiao Qian couldn’t delay, she dropped the scoop and ran back to the backyard.

Xiao Qian’s grandmother saw her rushing over.

“What’s wrong, Qian’er?”

“Grandma, my stomach hurts. Quickly, take me to the health center.”

Xiao Qian dragged her grandmother from the backyard and left.

“Huh? How come it suddenly hurts?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s appendicitis. Hurry up, Grandma, let’s not delay.” Xiao Qian was afraid that if they waited, Chu Xue would block their way.

She wasn’t afraid of losing the fight, but her grandmother couldn’t handle the provocation. She had to move her away first.

“Wait for me to get some money and lock the door.”

“You’re too slow, Grandma, I’ll do it.” Xiao Qian put her grandmother in the backyard, jumped to the front yard, and at this moment, Chu Xue had already arrived with her people. Chu Xue’s head was tied with a white rope and she looked like she was here for trouble.

Xiao Qian was less than ten meters away from her. She smiled slightly at Chu Xue, then drew the bolt of the front yard door and ran back to the backyard under Chu Xue’s gaze. She locked the back door and ran out with her grandmother, making sure not to miss a beat.

Chu Xue brought people over to cause trouble and demand an explanation.

After Chen Lin’s divorce, it was impossible to keep the fact that Chu Xue was not pregnant a secret. Originally, she wanted Chen Lin to give her the brick house he had received, but now he only had one house, and of course, he couldn’t give it to her.

Out of anger, Chu Xue brought people to confront Chen Lin’s family at the old lady’s place, but she was unlucky enough to encounter Xiao Qian there..
