The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

"Yes, yes, to be honest, I'm not as healthy as Sister Nie."

"They also brought a lot of Panax notoginseng, which is a good thing. Old Lin can use it; it's good for making soup or soaking in alcohol."

"That's great, Old Lin will benefit from it too. Sister Nie, how old is your granddaughter this year? Are you comfortable letting her come into the mountains with you?"

"We support our child's ambition. As the old saying goes, 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.' Li Tian is only ten years old and has already skipped a grade to enter the first year of junior high school. Next semester, she will directly enter the third year of junior high school, which is also suitable for her to travel around."

Nie Qian's voice unconsciously carried a hint of pride.

"Wow, this child is amazing! He really has the best genes from both of your families."

"It's mainly because my in-laws take good care of her. They dote on Tian Tian like she's the apple of their eye, but they don't spoil her. On the contrary, I didn't have to contribute much."

"I don't like what you're saying, Sister Nie. I know perfectly well that you're always thinking about that child. When we meet again, be sure to bring our little darling so I can adore him."

"Okay, it's time to introduce the child to the elders. Xiaoli, how are the Qiu family?"

The other person was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that the small talk had shifted to the main topic.

"The Qiu family's son is quite capable; I've heard Old Lin praise him. As for anything else, I don't know much about him."

Nie Qian stopped beating around the bush and briefly recounted what had happened yesterday and today.

He wasn't angry at all, and even downplayed it.

"Leaving aside the false accusation, what I find somewhat laughable is that he actually demanded that Ji Ying bring her two children to apologize in person. Did he perhaps want to test whether Old Ji could still wield the sword?"

After Nie Qian finished speaking, a soft voice came from the phone.

"Sister Nie, I haven't heard anything this funny in a long time. This is truly the biggest joke of the year. When Lao Lin comes back, I'll definitely make him laugh."

"You see, once you start talking, it'll never end. Let me know in advance when you're free."

"Okay, Sister Nie, see you later."

Nie Qian only put down her phone after the other party hung up.

Is this what Grandma meant by "complaining about one's grievances"?

It seems like she didn't mention feeling wronged at all from beginning to end.

Li Tian didn't quite understand.

Nie Qian naturally noticed Li Tian's confusion and brought her along to teach her.

"Xiaoli is my friend, a friend I'm fairly close to. Her husband, Lao Lin, is the boss of Qiu's brother."

"If she's willing to help, she can, and she'll understand my grievances. Otherwise, she'll just see it as a joke."

Li Tian blinked.

"Grandma, does this mean that even if you show weakness, you can't lower your stance?"

Nie Qian nodded.

"This child is teachable."

"We are equals. I can be joking or complaining, because no matter what I say, we are always equals. I don't need to beg."

Whether I'm willing to help or not, whether I can help or not, has little to do with what I say. It's just that I say it tactfully so that everyone can save face.

"If you help, I'll be grateful. If you don't help, I won't complain."

Li Tian nodded.

She understood that no matter how painfully a person in a lower position pleaded, they might not be able to gain the mercy of those in higher positions.

Having compassion doesn't necessarily guarantee help.

Because of the fundamental inequality between them, what they can pray for depends entirely on luck.

Li Tian rested her head on her grandmother's shoulder.

"Grandma, I will work hard and make good progress."

Nie Qian patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

"Why have people fought tooth and nail for power for thousands of years?"

"Because it's really a good thing."

"With power comes relative freedom, and only then can you do whatever you want within certain limits."

"Although this is not conducive to social progress, it is human nature, and we cannot avoid it, much less pretend to see it."

"Only when Bao Zheng held the high position of prime minister could he try Chen Shimei."

"If you want to do more good for society, you must first be able to protect yourself before you can think about anything else."

"If you're just a kid from an ordinary family and you meet someone surnamed Qiu, your life might be ruined. There's always the evil in human nature that we can't predict."

"They may seize by force or coerce your family. If the benefits are high enough, those around you may turn against you. Even if they firmly protect you, they may not be able to keep you safe. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."

Li Tian nuzzled Nie Qian's shoulder.

She understands everything her grandmother says.

Possessing a treasure is a crime.

Nie Qian spoke with some emotion and patted Li Tian on the back.

Although she was worried about Ji Ping, she was still most concerned about Li Tian.

Because she was young, and even more so because she didn't have a mother.

Children without mothers are destined to experience the bitterness of life from a young age.

Fortunately, she has four loving grandparents who have never mistreated her.

But what about later?

They will eventually have to go first.

A loving son will plan far ahead for him.

The elderly couple in the Li family are probably doing their best to cultivate Li Tian, ​​and they likely share the same idea.

"It's better to have what you have yourself than what others have. Grandma is very happy that you have learned so many skills at such a young age, but it's not enough. You still need to keep working hard."

"When everyone stops mentioning that you are so-and-so's granddaughter or so-and-so's granddaughter, you can stand in the world by your own name."

"At that time, all demons and monsters will humbly retreat before you! If they are not convinced, then beat them until they submit."

Li Tian felt a lump in her throat and rushed into her grandmother's arms.

She will definitely try her best to become the person her grandmother hopes she will be!

Though not born a man, his heart is as fierce as a man's!

Standing on high ground is not about submitting to or oppressing anyone, but about ensuring that no one dares to challenge her.

"What are the grandfather and grandson whispering about inside the house?"

Ji Mingze knocked on the door and came in.

Nie Qian raised her hand to check the time.

"It's so late already, I'll go prepare dinner."

Ji Mingze walked to the clothes rack, hung up his hat, and took off his coat.

"No rush, isn't what happened yesterday still going on?"

Since the topic had come up, Nie Qian held Li Tian without moving and repeated Ji Ying's words.

"I made a phone call to Xiaoli."

Ji Mingze sat down on another single sofa.

"It's only right to say hello to Lao Lin. I've already found people and sent them out; we should have news within a day or two."

"That guy surnamed Qiu is nothing but a clown, not worth getting angry over."

Li Tian stood up and poured a glass of warm water for her grandfather.

Ji Mingze accepted it with a smile.

"Tian Tian, ​​don't be afraid. This isn't your fault, and don't worry about causing trouble for the family. Just because we're afraid of thieves doesn't mean we can't make a living."

Ji Mingze took a small sip from his cup, moistening his slightly dry lips.

"We'll continue living our lives as before, dealing with whatever comes our way!"

Li Tian nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Grandma also talked to me a lot earlier."

"I will transform myself into a stronger person!"

Ji Mingze nodded with satisfaction.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Among the younger generation, he favored Li Yuanchao.

Of his grandchildren, he favored Li Tian the most.

Standing on the shoulders of his ancestors and fathers, Li Tian is destined to go far as long as he remains humble and modest.
