Chapter 384 - 219: Wanting Duo Duo’s Child_3
The little boy didn’t want to leave yet. Pouting, he said, "It’s still early. Why go back so soon? I want to talk with Daddy."
The old man was shrewd, and upon a closer look at his grandson’s expression, he also laughed and said, "Off you go, off you go. You’re so reluctant to leave, but where did this little brother come from? We’ll come again tomorrow."
Then he said to Qian Sangui, "Sangui, I was confused before and shouldn’t have thought that way. That day, Steward Wong also came to see me, saying it’s good that nothing serious happened to you, or the consequences would have been more severe. Today, after hearing so much from Manjiang’s grandson, I understand that one must stick to their principles and not covet the belongings of others... However, Da Gui and Er Gui, no matter what, are still your blood brothers. Bones may break, but the sinews still connect them. Those two women are foolish, but your nephews and grandnephews aren’t bad. Just raise your noble hand in mercy; surely you can’t let them go back to farming, can you?"
Old woman Qian also said, "I heard that the Yu family is not fond of Auntie Die anymore, saying if the mother isn’t good, the daughter won’t be any better. Sangui, where you can show mercy, show it. Just let it go."
Qian Sangui replied, "We were also very angry, heartbroken. The last time we withdrew from Dessert House and gave up a big profit, perhaps some people tasted the sweetness and felt that pressing us further would make us give up even more. If I were to die from all this, it’d be even better for them; they could take over the entire wealth of the third branch. They want my life and to drive Jinwa out of the Qian family—how vicious their hearts must be."
Old Qian was so angry he couldn’t speak.
Qian Sangui continued, "Parents, don’t worry. I’m not a heartless person. Auntie Die is a good child, and we will still support her in the future. As for Dessert House—let them hold on for another three months; although it will cause some loss of silver, it won’t break them. This time, certain people need to feel deep pain, so they’ll remember the lesson..." Seeing his elderly parents looking at him with reddened eyes, he added, "Don’t worry, as long as they stick to their principles, Da Gui, Er Gui, and I will still be good brothers in the future, and naturally, I’ll help them when it’s time."
Finally, after seeing off the guests, the house returned to tranquillity. Manjiang went to the refreshment room to wash up and only then went upstairs freshly cleansed.
