Fortunately, father has been living quite peacefully for the past decade or so. The two children are also very outstanding.
Moreover, they not only saved them but also arranged everything well for them.
This is a great favor; even if they spend the rest of their lives working like oxen and horses, they’d be willing.
Qi Yan also ca over, and they supported the whole family together.
"Mr. Li, the relationship between and Old Li isn’t as complicated as you think."
Li Yaozu isn’t a fool. "Xiao Su, I know everything. I, Li Yaozu, swear that if you ever need our help, just say the word, and we won’t hesitate even if it ans risking our lives."
Su Yuanyuan really isn’t used to such occasions. "Mr. Li, there really is no need to be so formal." Seeing Li Yaozu about to speak, she quickly added, "In the future, if there’s anything I need your help with, I certainly won’t hesitate."
Li Hongxiang had cald down by now. "Xiao Su, they are right to act this way. Without you, our three generations wouldn’t be here. We will never forget this kindness in our lifeti."
"Old Li, there’s really no need for such formality."
Li Hongxiang smiled and shook his head, "We know."
Everyone sat down once more, "Mr. Li, what I told you is true. You should take this back as a way of rembering.
The Cultural Relics Bureau will be coming back in a few days. Get it back before then.
Let Qi Yan and the others deliver it to you tonight."
"Xiao Su, I already told you. I don’t want it."
Su Yuanyuan sighed helplessly, "Old Li, then I’ll just have to give everything to the Cultural Relics Bureau. These are the heirlooms of your Li Family; it’s best for you to keep them yourselves. Truly, no need to stand on ceremony."
"Xiao Su, since you insist, I will take it back, but only if they give you an IOU for ten thousand yuan, as you once gave six thousand. It’s been years now, so with interest, it should be ten thousand."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head. "If this makes Old Li feel better, then just give six thousand."
Li Hongxiang didn’t say any more. Li Yaozu took out paper and pen to write an IOU for Su Yuanyuan. "Xiao Su, with the two of us working for more than ten years, our salaries will definitely cover it. Once we get paid, I’ll bring it to you."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. "Okay, no rush, you can owe it to for now. The house you’re living in is quite small for the whole family; better buy a new house first."
Li Yaozu shook his head. "That’s different; we must repay the money first."
Li Hongxiang stood up, "We’ve already disturbed Xiao Su for too long, Xiao Su, we’ll go ho now."
Su Yuanyuan also stood up, "Alright, let Qi Yan and the others deliver it to you tonight."
After seeing off the Li Family, the four of them sat down for dinner.
"Your dad won’t make it back for dinner, so let’s go ahead and eat."
At the dining table, "Mom, how did you help the Li Family?" Qi Wen asked.
"At that ti, I happened to encounter so bad people sending relics abroad. These things belong to us; how could I have known and not intervened?
I also found out they had already captured Li Hongxiang. The Li Family was very wealthy at that ti, so I bought their belongings. Li Hongxiang’s condition was for to take care of Li Liyun and her siblings.
Later, I found a way to get Li Hongxiang out and arranged for them to go to the farm."
"I knew it, as they said, without you, they might not have survived."
Qi Yan went to borrow a truck from Hu Zi in the afternoon. The Li Family has a lot of belongings; they really need a big truck.
Tan Shaoting didn’t get ho until almost three in the afternoon.
Su Yuanyuan imdiately knew that he was free now.
"It’s truly been difficult; our family can finally relax."
Tan Shaoting hugged Su Yuanyuan’s shoulders with a smile, "Indeed, we’re finally free. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you like."
"In the next few days, let’s tidy up the house and then leave."
Tan Shaoting knew that leaving could an several years.
The Li Family got ho and sat together to talk about everything from these past years.
"Thanks to Xiao Su," Li Hongxiang sighed.
Li Yaozu also sighed, "This favor is enormous.
Dad, we have a few days off; should we go back to our hotown for a visit?"
Li Hongxiang shook his head. "No, let’s just stay put. Shaoguang’s job is quite intense, and his internship is almost over."
Why go back? Li Hongxiang viewed it as a place of heartbreak.
Li Yaozu looked at his daughter; she was already married by the ti they returned.
"Xiao Yun, is he good to you?"
Li Liyun nodded, "Very good. He’s an introvert, and when I left, he asked to co ho at night."
Li Yaozu nodded, "As long as you’re happy. If you don’t want to be with him anymore, we can leave him."
Li Liyun shook her head, "I’m very happy; he treats well."
After chatting for a while, she felt quite tired, so she went to her room for a nap.
Her husband was coming over that evening, so prep started in the afternoon.
He Yuanhao didn’t work late today, so he ca over after work.
It was his first ti eting the in-laws; to be honest, he was quite nervous.
Secretary Zhang had prepared plenty of gifts, sothing he really hadn’t thought of himself.
Arriving at the Li Family, Li Yaozu looked at He Yuanhao with satisfaction. They felt they could accept him.
Right after they finished eating, Qi Yan drove over, bringing an entire truckload.
He Yuanhao didn’t leave. With more people, unloading was quicker.
Though he hadn’t paid attention to them before, he knew these were valuable items.
"Qi Yan, thank you," Li Shaoguang said.
"No need to be so formal. It’s late, so I won’t disturb you any longer."
The Li Family went into the living room to see the elderly touching the furniture with cherished mories all over their face.
Su Yuanyuan was right; this was a way of rembering. Ancestral heirlooms are very aningful.
Li Yaozu seeing his father like this felt even more sorrow in his heart.
He Yuanhao couldn’t stay outside too long tonight, having already broken the routine by dining out, so he and his wife returned ho.
Back ho, Li Liyun was already asleep. He Yuanhao didn’t mind, but Secretary Zhang was getting on in years.
"Boss, let the doctor co to see your wife tomorrow," Secretary Zhang suggested.
He Yuanhao looked at Secretary Zhang puzzled,
"Your wife might be pregnant," Secretary Zhang clarified.
Now He Yuanhao understood. He was a bit excited, thinking about carrying his wife out of the car, but Li Liyun opened her eyes. "Are we ho? So soon?"
"You dozed off," he replied.
"Oh, I’m so tired. Let’s hurry back to sleep," she said yawning.
After finishing his work, he left the study and saw Secretary Zhang still waiting.
"Is the doctor arranged?"
"Yes, he will co over in the morning," Secretary Zhang confird.
"Okay."
After a bath, he returned to the bedroom and saw his wife sleeping soundly. Lying down beside her didn’t wake her.
