He Lin looked at Yu Lian: "Am I that scary?"
"You know that." Yu Lian quickly went over, pulled the child up, and grabbed her daughter, asking, "Why did you see your dad run away?"
He Ningxi said in a tearful voice, "I don't want to go back to school. My dad is coming to take me away."
The truth came to light in an instant, and Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course not. Your dad just came back from abroad, he's not here to arrest you. Sit down and watch TV, or go to sleep."
The three of them decisively chose the former, and the main room returned to silence.
"He Lin is here. You two, hurry up and eat."
Yu Jinbu brought the two new bowls and chopsticks, and the food was still hot.
"Has Jasmine left?"
"They didn't leave. They said they're staying at a hotel today and won't be back in time. You said Jasmine got your sister involved in this shampoo thing, is it really going to work?"
"The response has been good so far. Let them do what they want; if it doesn't work out, there's always..."
Yu Lian was the same as always, but in the end she realized that she no longer had the ability to support her sister or friends.
"And me. Don't worry, Dad, I'll help you make the selection." He Lin intervened in time, preventing Yu Lian from saying anything irrelevant.
"Okay, I'm relieved to have He Lin overseeing things. You two eat, I'm taking the three of them to bed."
Reluctantly following their grandfather, the three little ones were still talking about not going back when they got to the yard.
"Oh dear, how can I learn anything if I don't go back to school?"
"Of course we have to go back."
Grandpa's words were like a final verdict, leaving them reluctant to return to their room.
Yu Jinbu quietly walked into the inner room and glanced inside: "An'an is reading a book? Do you want to go back to school? Grandpa will arrange it for you."
He Ning'an did want to, but seeing her mother so worried, she put those thoughts aside.
"Grandpa, no need. I want to spend more time with Mom. I've completed all my courses this semester through self-study, and I'm also doing all the assignments the teachers gave me."
Seeing his eldest grandson's ambition, Yu Jinbu chuckled and said, "An'an is amazing, even Grandpa is impressed. Grandpa will buy you a gift when we get back to Xiangshi."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Yu Jinbu looked at An'an, feeling troubled and unsure of what to do.
After settling his grandchildren in, he returned to the main room. The couple had finished eating and were clearing away the dishes.
"Um... honey, come here for a second, I need to talk to you about something."
Yu Lian put down the plate in her hand: "Coming."
He Lin tidied up, and Yu Lian followed her father to the yard. Yu Jinbu then felt it wasn't appropriate and took his daughter outside.
In the alley, the two walked and talked quietly about space.
"How about we let An'an try again? What if it works?"
Yu Lian didn't want her son to get involved. He was so smart; he would definitely know that she would take this matter to heart.
"No, he's too young."
"I won't tell him, I'll just let him shed a tear. What normal person would think of something like that?"
Although that was true, Yu Lian disagreed. There was nothing Yu Jinbu could do; since her daughter disagreed, she stopped talking about it.
"Okay, it's okay to give it a try. What if it works? You won't have to face so much pressure. Think about it, even if you successfully find a replacement this time because of Li Yanshen's help, and you can adapt quickly, can the market and our customers accept it? This is medicine, not candy; it represents the company's image and could ruin the company. Going back to the way things were before is impossible, and even if it were possible, it would take a very long time. I fully support you donating all the money you've earned over the years to charity, but you can't be impulsive. In the future, you should discuss such important matters with the family."
"If you hadn't acted impulsively a while ago, you wouldn't be under so much pressure now. A huge factory and partners all need working capital. We can be without money, but only for ourselves. There's a whole group of people behind you who are counting on you for their livelihood."
Yu Jinbu spoke the truth, and Yu Lian also realized her mistake.
"Dad, consider this a lesson learned. But I don't regret it. Go ahead and try it, but don't arouse suspicion. If it works, great; if not, consider it training."
She took off the jade pendant and handed it to her father. Today, it was still as lifeless as ever, without a trace of spiritual energy.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. If it really doesn't work, I'll accept it."
……
The next day.
Yu Lian gained a charm—He Lin would follow her wherever she went.
After enduring it for only two hours, Yu Lian couldn't take it anymore and gave him a good scolding. He Lin could only watch secretly after that.
"Dad, there's an old man screaming pitifully at the door, could you give him ten yuan?"
"Ten dollars? Why do you need so much?"
He Ningxi glanced at her friends in the distance and said, "Yeah, the old man is screaming so pitifully, we need to give him more."
"Okay, it's good to have compassion, but be careful not to get scammed."
He Lin took out his wallet, but there wasn't a single bill inside. He cleared his throat: "I'll take ten yuan from Mom's bag."
He Ningxi didn't say anything, just nodded, and then accepted the ten yuan with both hands: "Thank you, Dad!"
She ran off in a flash, followed by several children waiting in the shop.
At the same time, He Ning'an came from the front hall to the backyard, followed by Doctor Jiang.
He said to He Lin, "Hey, Boss He, don't believe these kids' nonsense. Don't give them any more money. Their teeth will all rot from eating so much candy."
When He Lin walked to the shop entrance, he saw that the old man was also calling out quite enthusiastically, otherwise there wouldn't have been five children standing in front of the stall.
"Grandpa! I want five skewers of yam beans, and five skewers of candied hawthorns!"
The old man was overjoyed when a big business deal came in.
"Okay!"
Soon, the five children were holding food in both hands.
He Ningxi turned her head and saw her father, smiling shyly, "Dad, do you want some?"
He Lin gave his daughter a look that told her to figure it out herself. This time, He Ningxi wasn't afraid: "Dad, why haven't you been home for so long? If you don't come back soon, I'll think you and Mom have divorced."
"Nonsense, you're not allowed to say those two words again."
He Ningxi scoffed, "Why?"
"Unlucky."
"Oh, can I stay in Yuncheng to study? I want to go with Sister Yaya."
"no."
"Hmph, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'm leaving."
Several children rushed into the yard, calling out, "Big brother! Big brother!"
Yu Lian looked down from upstairs: "Your brother left with your grandfather."
"Oh? Well then... hehe, I'll have two skewers!"
Looking at the greedy children, who hadn't been properly disciplined lately, the younger ones had completely let loose and were showing no restraint whatsoever.
"Fine, this is the last time. Starting tomorrow, none of you... none of you five can eat whenever you want, until all your teeth are rotten and you can't even touch tofu."
Yu Lian went downstairs and helped the kittens clean their faces, but she was still worried—she wondered how the grandmother and grandchildren were doing.
