As long as... as long as that child can help and support her family, that’s already very good.
Moreover, Yanqing’s visit this ti indeed helped their entire family. If she were to be ungrateful, she would surely receive the cold shoulder and never be visited again!
Let it be, let nature take its course!
Wiping her eyes, Wang Guilan adjusted her mood and returned to her usual deanor.
"Grab a few more pairs of chopsticks, sit down and eat as well," she said.
Seeing ng Xingwang and the others sitting without moving, Kang Li couldn’t help but speak up.
"Sister-in-law, you and Big Brother eat first, we’ve already eaten," replied Niu Weizhen. As she heard her daughter waking up and crying in the room, she hurriedly left.
Kang Li suggested, "Let get you so, I can’t finish it all."
Luo Yanqing replied, "You eat first."
There were three dishes on the table, and Luo Yanqing and Kang Li only took a single chopstick of cold cucumber salad; they didn’t touch the other two dishes at all.
It wasn’t out of distaste; they just weren’t very hungry. Knowing that at and eggs are rare commodities in rural households, and that they were not in need of those foods, they simply chose not to touch them, leaving them for the family to enjoy.
The reason for taking a chopstick of cucumber was out of politeness; otherwise, it might lead to people thinking they were disdainful and looked down on the food on the table.
In fact, even without considering the taste, just the colors of the dishes alone looked quite appetizing.
Green beans with pork, tomato and eggs, cold cucumber salad.
These were the three dishes Niu Weizhen had prepared.
More than ten minutes later.
Walking Luo Yanqing and Kang Li to the courtyard gate, Wang Guilan said to Luo Yanqing, "Yanqing, when you have ti, bring your wife and child over to visit more often."
Luo Yanqing responded casually, "I’m very busy with work."
Opening the passenger door of the car, he watched as Kang Li got in, then he turned to ng Xingping and ng Xingguo and said, "Sit in the back." He walked around to the driver’s seat and got in.
After ng Xingping and the others were seated, Luo Yanqing started the car with a cool expression. He didn’t look back at Wang Guilan, his birth mother, as he reversed the car, turned it around, and then drove away shortly after.
ng Xingwang and his wife, along with ng Xinglai and ng Xingmin, returned to the courtyard with Wang Guilan.
"Mom, why did Xingping and Xingguo go with Big Brother in his car?"
Niu Wenzhen asked Wang Guilan.
"I know, I know..."
ng Xingmin was still young and couldn’t wait for his mother to speak up, eagerly attempting to inform his sister-in-law Niu Weizhen.
"You know nothing!" scolded Wang Guilan as she glared at her youngest son, then addressed ng Xingwang and his wife, "Don’t be nosy. You’ll be told when it’s ti for you to know."
Niu Weizhen gave an apologetic smile. "Don’t be angry, Mom. I won’t ask if that’s not okay."
ng Xinglai slapped his younger brother ng Xingmin on the back of the head. "Always sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong!"
Rubbing the back of his head, ng Xingmin pouted, "I was just happy, that’s all!"
"Go study. If you don’t succeed in your studies soday, see if Big Brother will care about you."
It was as if the ng brothers had an unspoken agreent, automatically rearranging the hierarchy and placing Luo Yanqing at the forefront, calling him Big Brother.
However, as for Luo Yanqing, whether he acknowledged or rejected the title of "Big Brother," only he knew.
Arriving at the county’s Ard Forces Departnt, the person in charge happened to be an old subordinate of Director Song. Moreover, before Luo Yanqing and Kang Li ca to Langcheng, Director Song had already phoned his old subordinate,
so when Luo Yanqing arrived, he didn’t need to say much. Just by finding the person in charge and ntioning Director Song’s na, ng Xingping and ng Xingwang’s affairs were nearly settled.
"Rember to co to the county town for a physical examination early tomorrow morning," Luo Yanqing instructed them.
