CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: YOU BETTER KEEP THIS IN MIND

Just two days after the family separation.

The old man and old lady followed Jiang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Lei, and Fan Jianguo, took a long-distance bus, and entered the city.

When they were about to leave.

Fan Jianfeng even made a special trip to escort them to the bus station.

That was for the villagers to see.

It’s not that Jiang Xiaoxiao is petty, but if he really cared about grandma and grandpa, at least he should have prepared some dry food and eggs for the trip.

Food on the road is essential.

Fan Jianfeng didn’t even mention it.

Don’t even talk about preparing it.

For someone who didn’t say a word, it’s imaginable how much resentment he must have towards his own parents.

The eldest uncle is in his fifties, not a child who doesn’t understand.

Harboring grudges against his own parents, how filial can such a person be?

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything.

No need to worry about preparation, anyway, she had money in her pocket and could buy some dry food on the way when they reached the county.

Upon arriving at the county, without her niece’s prompting, Fan Jianguo himself went to buy dry food and eggs.

The younger uncle ran to the supply and marketing agency, handling such business matters with ease.

The old man and old lady felt it was too expensive, but seeing it was the filial piety of their youngest son and grandchildren, they knew they couldn’t say anything more.

Fortunately, they soon got home.

The collective dormitory of the younger uncle Fan Jianguo didn’t need to be said, it was unable to accommodate anyone.

So, Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others brought the old man and old lady directly to their home. After all, it was easy to vacate a room in their house.

Jiang Lei had already decided to vacate his room for grandma and grandpa.

He would squeeze into the younger uncle’s collective dormitory.

Anyway, what’s wrong with two grown men squeezing a bit?

Fan Xiuying suddenly saw her parents coming.

Especially seeing the old lady’s rosy complexion and how agile her legs were when walking, she even thought the old lady wasn’t sick at all.

Only after inviting the old lady and old man inside and explaining things did she realize her mother had almost died from illness.

Fan Xiuying was scared half to death.

She held the old lady and shed tears.

The old lady comforted her daughter.

"What are you crying for? I tell you, you are truly blessed this time. If it weren’t for Xiao Xiao, your mother would have been reporting to King Yan directly."

Fan Xiuying smiled, "This child, where does she go all day, learning all sorts of tricks, knowing everything? I really don’t know what to say about her. You don’t know how headstrong she is now, she even staged a hunger strike a few days ago insisting on going to the countryside."

Speaking of daughter, a bellyful of grievances.

The old lady listened and said, "That’s not good. This child, a girl, going to the countryside is all about physical labor. With her petite figure, has she ever done farm work? No way, she can’t go. You have to talk to her properly!

Xiao Xiao, come in. Grandma wants to talk to you."

"Grandma, I’m going to report to the street office, they asked for my signature, I’ll be back soon."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was quicker than anyone in slipping away.

Being caught by her grandma would mean listening until her ears grew calluses.

Jiang Lei also snuck away by the wall.

With grandma here, there was no issue at home that required him, the pillar.

Their family favored his sister.

From parents to grandparents, not one doesn’t favor their own Xiao Xiao.

That dear sister... Sigh!

That sister is the apple of the family’s eye.

Jiang Lei sighed to the heavens as he left.

Why isn’t Xiao Xiao a true sister?

This world is truly surreal.

His eighteen-year-old sister suddenly became someone else’s sister.

Jiang Lei felt bitter inside.

His sister is such a wonderful girl.

Though he always complained about his parents’ partiality.

He himself isn’t partial.

Every time he goes out, anything that Xiao Xiao likes to eat or drink, not once does he forget to bring it back.

Actually, Xiao Xiao is definitely their family’s darling.

That Fang family is really blind.

Such a lovely, adorable, beautiful sister, and the Fang family doesn’t like her.

Jiang Lei stomped his foot and went to find his younger uncle.

Tonight, he planned to stay at his younger uncle’s dormitory.

Fan Xiuying had just sent off her daughter yesterday, Jiang Xin carrying her child returned home, Qin Dazhuang came to their house every day, almost kneeling down. The in-law old lady got angry and went to live at the eldest son’s place, completely ignoring them. Jiang Xin, still soft-hearted, couldn’t stay at her parents’ home forever.

In the end, she went back home with Qin Dazhuang.

When leaving, Fan Xiuying packed things in big bags for Jiang Xin, afraid the child would be hungry. She brought ten bags of milk powder alone, not to mention clothes.

Also brought a bag of white flour for the couple, making Qin Dazhuang very ashamed; the father-in-law and mother-in-law were so good to them, they seemed more like real parents than his own.

The old lady pulled her daughter along, "Daughter, you really can’t let Xiao Xiao mess around. If she goes to the farm, she’ll suffer greatly."

The old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter.

Fan Xiuying felt sorry too.

"Mom, the decision is already made, it can’t be changed, the street office has already reported the name list. Once reported, there’s no way to change it."

The old lady heard this and her face was full of disappointment.

"It really can’t be changed? You should talk to the street director about swapping within our family, can’t that be done?"

"Mom, you know Xiao Xiao’s personality, if she’s unwilling, even if you talk to the director, it’s useless. That girl’s stubborn, you know! Just because of this issue, you don’t know how scared her father and I were. The girl went on a hunger strike, didn’t eat for three days.

Came close to real trouble, and her father and I were scared to death."

Fan Xiuying was helpless too, her heart aching as if it was the flesh of her own heart; now the child has grown up and will throw tantrums.

But what can be done?

The old lady glared, "This darn girl, no wonder she ran so fast just now, she must have known what trouble she caused and feared my scolding. We’ll have to talk to her properly when she comes back."

The old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter! Keeping her mouth so tight along the way, not saying a word.

This child, huh.

Fan Xiuying also looked on helplessly.

Softly explaining the whole story.

The old lady and old man were taken aback.

"What are you saying? Xiao Xiao... Xiao Xiao isn’t our family’s child? How is that possible, it must be a mistake, our Xiao Xiao couldn’t possibly not be a Jiang family child, didn’t you see how close she is with us, that’s an inherent closeness.

This child is kind-hearted, volunteering to go to the countryside for her brother, but how could she end up with such irresponsible parents. The child is truly heart-wrenching. What kind of Fang family is that, a bunch of blind idiots, the two of you can’t neglect Xiao Xiao.

No matter how you’ve raised her, don’t talk about what’s true and untrue. Or else, I won’t spare you."

The old lady stomped her foot, clutching her chest, unable to believe Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t her granddaughter.

Thinking about it, that family plotted with ulterior motives to take Xiao Xiao away.

How is that a real mother and father?

Their hearts are dark.

"Who wouldn’t say so? How could I have guessed that family would be so heartless? Even towards their own flesh and blood, they could do such a thing."

Fan Xiuying also had a face full of helplessness. Besides helplessness, she cherished her daughter even more, her heart ached!

"Don’t speak of anything else, Xiao Xiao is forever our family’s child, no matter what. That’s your child you raised from childhood. We can’t see the child being bullied. If you as a mother can’t protect the child, I tell you, as her grandmother, I won’t spare you.

Also, this child needs to be treated more affectionately in the future. Such an incident, even if she doesn’t speak, think how hurt she must be! You need to be wary of that family, I can see clearly they’re not good people.

Today they have this agenda, we cannot predict what plans they may hatch tomorrow. You need a scale in your heart, someone bringing up their own child and associating with the Fang family. Whoever raised her, she sides with. Don’t miss the family, I’ve seen; our Xiao Xiao is still very much with us, from here on treat Xiao Xiao as your own daughter.

Don’t talk about what is true and what isn’t."

The old lady may be old, but when it comes to handling matters, she made quick and decisive decisions, without letting blood-related emotions faze her.

Fan Xiuying nodded, "Mom, I understand these matters, rest assured, I will make it clear to the child. This home will always be hers, its doors always open to her. At the same time, Xiao Xiao will be our daughter.

I won’t mistreat Xiao Xiao, don’t you already know? Even if I have such thoughts, imagine if Old Jiang could allow it. If I dared to entertain such thoughts, Old Jiang would eat me alive."

Only then did the old lady nod in relief, knowing full well her son-in-law.

This son-in-law values this daughter highly.
