Lord! Give up, my wife is a black and white vest

Chapter 401 Do you like Li Li? Lu Xixiao: "Yes, I do."; Solemn Promise

The strict sentence "nine and a half years old" made the old lady laugh.

Smiling, he asked, "What does Xiao Lu do for a living?"

Lu Xixiao: "I have a company at home, so I do some business."

Without letting the old lady utter a word, Lu Xixiao took the initiative to talk about his family situation: "My family is large, but it is definitely not complicated. My parents gave birth to five brothers and I am the youngest. My four older brothers are all married. Although there are many people and we are all engaged in the family business, our family is very harmonious and united. We are all of one mind. I have the final say on major matters in the company and at home. Wen Li is well aware of my family situation."

The old lady nodded and said, "Harmony is the most important thing."

"I see that you, Xiao Lu, are very skilled in taking care of children. You do it better than many parents and you are very patient. The child is also very close to you. You must take care of this child a lot, right? It's great that you can still help take care of the child at home when you are so busy with your career." The old lady looked at the little guy who was playing with Black General with a water gun.

“I’ve always been the one taking care of the child.”

"What about the child's parents?"

"The car accident is over."

The old lady's hands as she was picking vegetables and the smile on her face froze.

Lu Xixiao: "Jingyuan is the child of my eldest nephew and the grandson of my eldest brother. Not long after Jingyuan was born, his parents, including my eldest brother and his wife, died in the same car accident. Jingyuan is the only one left in my eldest brother's family."

The old lady looked at the little boy playing with the water gun with concern.

Lu Xixiao: "My mother was old and injured when she gave birth to me, and she passed away the following year. My father couldn't bear it and passed away a few months later. I was raised by my eldest brother and his wife. They are like my parents to me, so I brought Jing Yuan with me."

The old lady felt distressed when she heard this. She gently patted the back of Lu Xixiao's hand, looked at him with tearful eyes and said, "Jingyuan is a good boy, and you are also a good boy."

The old lady sighed, recalling the past and speaking slowly: "Li Li's grandfather passed away early. He was the workshop director at the time. Something happened at the factory, leaving me, my two-year-old daughter, and my elderly and frail parents-in-law. The compensation money from the factory was almost all spent on their medical treatment. Later, my parents-in-law also passed away, leaving only my daughter and I to depend on each other. When I was young, my health was not good, and it was difficult for me to conceive. My daughter was born quite late. Although life was difficult after her father passed away, fortunately she managed to pull through. My daughter is strong-willed and has done well herself. After graduating from university, she stayed in a big city to work and even joined a large company."

The old lady's eyes were full of pride when she talked about her daughter.

She smiled and told Lu Xixiao: "Li Li's mother's name is Wen Shu, the Shu in Yunjuanyunshu. Her father and I chose this name together. Li Li's grandfather is Wen Changting. Li Li's surname is not her father's, but her mother's and her grandfather's."

"That big company is very powerful. When my daughter passed the interview, she was happy for many days. She said she would make a lot of money and then take me to Beijing. She worked hard every day, but I would rather she didn't join that big company. If she didn't, she wouldn't have met Wen Baixiang." The old lady was heartbroken. "I only have one daughter. She is so beautiful, so smart and outstanding, so young. She worked hard for so many years and finally had a good life of her own, but in the end, she was left in the delivery room. I didn't even see her for the last time."

The old lady stared blankly somewhere.

I forgot to pick the vegetables in my hand.

She fought back her tears and emotions.

"That bastard Wen Baixiang, my daughter died giving birth right after she died, and he believed all that nonsense, saying Li Li's horoscope was bad. He dumped Li Li, motherless at birth, on me, and hasn't cared about her for seventeen years. He's heartless. He's clearly unlucky himself, but he blames my Li Li for bringing bad luck to him. To try to change his luck, he even gave Li Li a boy's name."

The old lady's eyes were full of resentment towards Wen Baixiang.

"Later, I went to inquire about it, and found out that the bastard had remarried not long after. He had completely forgotten Li Li."

"He harmed my daughter, my Li Li. Ever since Li Li was old enough to understand, I've told her that her father was killed in a car accident. She doesn't need a father like that. I can take good care of her myself and won't let her suffer any injustice."

"If Li Li hadn't suddenly fallen ill and needed treatment at a big hospital, I wouldn't have looked for that bastard."

The illness should be caused by the blood clot in Wen Li’s head.

Lu Xixiao looked at the old lady who had suffered for half her life and didn't know how to comfort her. Any words seemed weak.

First it was her husband, then her parents-in-law, and finally her daughter. For a woman like this, living in the countryside with her young daughter and young granddaughter, one can imagine how much hardship and grievance she must have endured. One can imagine how much she had to pay to protect herself and her children, and to take such good care of her two children.

She didn't even complain about her own hardship, she just felt sorry for her two children.

Wen Baixiang really deserves to kowtow to death in front of the old lady.

Just as Lu Xixiao thought, the amiable and gentle old lady was actually strong and tough inside, from her youth to now, and she never needed comfort and sympathy.

The old lady quickly calmed down.

"Let's not talk about this. It's all in the past. My Li Li grew up peacefully and was smart and outstanding. That bastard's family didn't have a good ending. Let's not talk about these unhappy things. From now on, you, Li Li, and Jing Yuan will all be fine."

Lu Xixiao: "You have to take care of yourself too."

The old lady smiled and said, "Grandma, I will. I will eat and drink well, take good care of myself, and be happy every day. Only in this way can I stay with my Li Li longer."

"Ah."

"Xiao Lu, do you like my Li Li?"

The old lady suddenly asked.

Lu Xixiao raised his eyes and looked at the smiling old lady. He smiled and nodded in acknowledgement: "Yeah, I like it."

Seeing that Lu Xixiao was still a little embarrassed, the old lady smiled and said, "You haven't told Li Li yet, right?"

Lu Xixiao: "I want to wait until the time is right."

The old lady said, "This child has a hard life. She matured much earlier than other children. She likes to keep many things to herself and doesn't like to talk about them. I know she must have experienced a lot outside, even if she doesn't say it. In short, it's not easy to get her approval, and it's even harder to get her love. Plus, she's still young, so it's too early for her to talk about feelings. You need to give her enough patience and tolerance."

Lu Xixiao stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "I know, don't worry, I am absolutely serious about Wen Li. I like her more than just that, I want to have a relationship with her, and I am willing to give her more than just patience and tolerance. No matter what she does, I will support her and respect her. I will never restrict or constrain her. She can always do what she wants. I mean what I say."

He solemnly promised.

After saying this, he was silent for a moment, his serious expression slowly softening, and he said to the old lady, "Even if it turns out to be my wishful thinking, I will be happy with it and have nothing to say. I have always been prepared for this."

This was even more difficult than those promises, so difficult that he had to prepare before even saying it.

The old lady smiled and nodded. "Grandma believes in you. I have a feeling you're not being wishful thinking. If Li Li wants someone to take care of her and love her, and that person happens to be you, Xiao Lu, then Grandma will be very happy."

The old lady's recognition and encouragement gave Lu Xixiao a lot of confidence.

As she was speaking, a figure appeared outside the courtyard. A woman opened the gate and said, "Auntie, these two cabbages were picked by the old lady in the fields early this morning. I'll bring some over for you."

The woman walked into the yard with a loud voice, and her eyes accurately captured Lu Xixiao in the yard from a distance.

He had been staring at Lu Xixiao since he was outside the yard.

Didn't move away for a moment.
