Chapter 824 My Grandson Really Doesn’t Understand
In the courtyard, only Yang Xiaoxi and Grandpa He remained. Since they were all familiar with each other, Yang Xiaoxi didn’t mince words, "Grandpa, for a grandson like yours, you might as well leave him be. When he runs out of money and gets hungry, he’ll start working on his own. You can’t coddle him like that." A grown man still relying on his grandpa for support is frankly disgraceful.
"Ah!" Grandpa He hadn’t even started speaking when he let out a sigh, "It’s not that I’m too concerned about my grandson, it’s just that he’s nearly thirty and still doesn’t have a wife. When you’re old, you want to see the younger generation settle down. That way, I can hold my great-grandson before I die."
"Grandpa, I may speak unpleasant truths, but they are truths nonetheless. Look, your grandson is lazy and does no work. Even if he finds a wife, how can he support her? It’s like ruining some girl’s life!"
"Indeed, my grandson is immature," sighed Grandpa He. "But as long as he finds a wife, we can make do with my retirement money to support her. It’s his bad temper I’m worried about, I don’t know which girl could put up with him."
"Grandpa, that way of thinking is not right. If you truly want what’s best for him, you should let him learn to be independent. A grown man can’t be sponging off his elders."
Yang Xiaoxi went on and on, imparting a bunch of advice to Grandpa He, who didn’t seem bothered. Usually, at home, no one talked to him, and suddenly having someone willing to chat with an old man like him made him quite happy.
After discussing his grandson, the conversation shifted to Shen Mianmian buying a house. Learning that Shen Mianmian had bought a place in Meilin Garden, Grandpa He instantly became serious.
