The heavens set sail from the courtyard

He Changsheng had always been the backbone of the He family, but now that he's gone, and Liu Meixin is an indecisive person, she doesn't know what to do when she sees her daughters arguing.

He Jiaxi wanted to monopolize the He family house and had no intention of letting her sister move back in. She said she was taking care of her grandmother and mother, but what she really wanted was unclear to Liu Meixin, though He Wenshi understood.

In He Wenshi's mind, of the six He sisters, the eldest was the most selfless, the second the wisest, the third the most hardworking, the fourth the most independent, the fifth the most willful, and the sixth the most selfish.

If one of the six sisters had to choose a caregiver for the elderly, the eldest and second eldest would undoubtedly be the most suitable. However, the eldest sister, He Jiali, has two sons, and Tang Weimin is clearly the Tang family's choice for caregiver. He Jiali already has a heavy burden and cannot possibly take care of the He family as well.

The second son, He Jiawen, was someone He Wenshi knew she couldn't rely on, because Wang Gang was there.

He Wenshi saw this second son-in-law very clearly. He was okay with occasionally helping his wife's family, but there was absolutely no way she could rely on him to support her in her old age.

As for the third son, He Jiayi, he is currently in debt and is obviously not suitable.

The fourth son, He Jiahuan, is the most independent, which also means he has the least affection for his family, especially Liu Meixin. He always feels that she favors the fifth and sixth sons and can't be relied upon.

The fifth sister, Liu Xiaoling, is willful and impulsive, but she has changed a lot since her divorce. She feels very guilty and sad because she couldn't get back before He Changsheng passed away.

The sixth son, He Jiaxi, was cunning from a young age. Relying on Liu Meixin's favor, he developed a selfish and self-serving personality. No matter how eloquently he spoke, He Wenshi dared not believe a single word he said.

In retrospect, it seems that He Changsheng saw through his six daughters before he died, which is why he said that his fifth daughter, Liu Xiaoling, was the best choice to take care of her in her old age.

After much deliberation, Madam He Wen said, "Chang Sheng said before he left that he hoped Xiao Ling would come back and stop wandering outside."

The Ho sisters stopped arguing and all looked at Ho Man-sze and Lau Mei-sum.

He Wen looked at Liu Xiaoling with a kind expression and said, "Fifth child, before your father passed away, your biggest worry was you. He hoped that you could come back and find a stable job instead of drifting around outside. Your mother and I feel the same way."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoling felt extremely distressed, her heart almost overflowing with guilt.

"Dad, have you been thinking about me all this time?"

Liu Xiaoling still feels guilty for not returning before He Changsheng passed away, and He Wenshi seized on this opportunity.

"Fifth brother! No matter how good things are outside, this is still your home. We've all been worried about you since your divorce. Come home!"

Liu Xiaoling bit her lip hard and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll go home and never leave again."

He Jiali and the others all had smiles on their faces, but He Jiaxi's face was gloomy and she was very unhappy.

In He Jiaxi's view, He Wenshi has already chosen a person to take care of her in her old age, and the house will naturally belong to Liu Xiaoling in the future, and no one else can get their hands on it.

He Jiaxi was naturally unconvinced, but He Wenshi didn't give her a chance at all.

"Sixth son, Grandma knows you're filial, but you're the youngest and unmarried. We don't want to be a burden to you if you find someone in the future," Madam He said earnestly.

He Jiaxi's lips twitched, and he forced a smile, saying, "Grandma, how could you be a burden? People always say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. You are the pillar of our He family."

He Jiawen smiled and said, "The matter of retirement is settled. The fifth child will move back home and take care of Grandma and Mom. We will also come back more often when we have time."

He Jiali said, "Yes, we must go home more often and get together more often in the future. Before Dad passed away, he also told us sisters to look after each other and stay in touch!"

Seeing that the discussion was almost complete, Wang Gang gave his wife, He Jiawen, a meaningful look.

"Grandma, Mom, I have a surgery to perform later, so I'll have to go now. I'll come back to visit you when I'm done."

Wang Gang really didn't want to get involved in the He family's affairs. "Alright, go ahead and get busy!" Madam He said kindly, "Thanks to you for taking care of everything at the funeral."

"Grandma, we're family, please don't be so polite." Wang Gang stood up, greeted the others, and then left the He family's house.

Liu Meixin kept a sour face and said unhappily, "Does she think the house smells bad? She doesn't want to stay a moment longer."

“Meixin,” He Wenshi reminded him, “Youmin is busy with work, you must understand him.”

Liu Meixin sneered, "Does the hospital have to close down without him?"

He Jiawen said awkwardly, "Mom, Youmin has already turned down several surgeries because of Dad's funeral. If he doesn't go back to the hospital soon, the hospital director will probably come knocking on our door."

He Wen stopped Liu Meixin, who was about to speak again, and said with a smile, "Second son, your mother is in a bad mood, don't mind her!"

The third son, He Jiayi, complained, "Mom, I know you're sad because Dad is gone, but there's no need to take it out on my second brother-in-law. He's done enough as a son-in-law; everyone in the neighborhood says he's filial."

Liu Meixin's eyes reddened as she said, "Tang Youmin promised that your father would live for another ten or twenty years, but he's gone after only eight years. Am I supposed to thank him?"

He Jiawen frowned and said, "Mom, Dad has acute renal failure. No one can predict this kind of disease. It would be great if Dad would be willing to donate a kidney."

It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned kidney donation, but as soon as He Jiawen brought it up, He Jiali and the others glared angrily at He Jiaxi.

When they were doing the matching and kidney donation, He Jiali, He Jiayi, and He Jiawen were all willing, but He Jiaxi refused no matter what. The He sisters harbored resentment.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Even if I'm a match, Dad won't take my kidney." He Jiaxi felt uneasy under her sister's gaze and instinctively leaned against Liu Meixin.

"Mom, it's not that I didn't want to save Dad, I just had never encountered anything like this before and panicked for a moment."

"Alright!" Liu Meixin sighed, "It's all in the past, what's the point of talking about it now?"

He Wenshi also said, "Sixth Brother, you go back to your room first. We still have some things to discuss."

He Jiaxi asked in confusion, "Grandma, is there something you can't tell me?"

He Wenshi said unhappily, "This is none of your business."

He Jiaxi clung to her mother's arm, seemingly reluctant to leave.

"Mom, I want to stay and listen," He Jiaxi said coquettishly.

"Sixth brother, you've had a long day, go and rest!" Liu Meixin patted her youngest daughter's hand.

Helpless, He Jiaxi could only run back to her room and close the door, but she pressed her ear tightly against the door, wanting to hear what He Wenshi wanted to say behind her back.

He Wenshi shouted, "Sixth brother, don't eavesdrop!"

He Jiaxi was startled and involuntarily took two steps back, almost falling.

He Wenshi then said to He Jiali and the others, "Let's go to the courtyard to talk."

The He sisters followed He Wenshi out of the living room and into the courtyard. He Jiaxi, who was in the room, could no longer hear any noise and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Grandma definitely wants a share of Dad's inheritance; I won't get a piece," He Jiaxi muttered resentfully to herself. (End of Chapter)
