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

He might think it, but Lee Seung-ri wouldn't say it out loud.

We used to joke around and play around together, but now that we're older, we have to save face.

"Old Lin, you've just finished fulfilling your responsibilities with your children, what's wrong, you're already worrying about your grandchildren? What era are we living in? Do you think the kids will listen to us?"

Ever since he learned that Li Shengli's grandchildren had been admitted to Peking University through the recommendation system, Old Lin had been pondering this matter.

Although the children are still young, a few years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It's never a bad thing to get to know each other sooner.

But since Lee Seungri didn't discuss this directly, we can't rush things.

He happened to have some insights to share.

"Old Li, we've fought for half our lives and never believed in or complained about fate, but some people and things I've encountered in recent years have changed my perspective."

Li Shengli didn't interrupt, and the other elderly people didn't say anything either; they all waited to hear what Old Lin had to say.

"We've survived all that gunfire, aren't we just incredibly lucky?"

No one refuted this statement.

They've been on the brink of death countless times, yet they've never been pulled in.

What else could it be but a tough life?

"It is only right that our descendants should enjoy the fruits of our labor, which we have built. They are lucky to have been born into this world."

Even with mediocre talent, compared to ordinary people, one is already considered superior.

This is also true.

Everyone's kid is doing well, unless they're courting disaster.

"Old Zhong, do you still remember my former political commissar?"

Some people nodded, while others shook their heads.

Of course, that's not the point.

Old Master Lin didn't keep anyone in suspense and continued his sermon.

"His eldest daughter married a classmate, and Lao Zhong spared no effort in helping her. As soon as the special economic zone was established, he used his connections to send her there. That son-in-law was also capable. Although he came from a working-class family and had no background, he was smart and had a tough hand. He entered the municipal party committee just after he turned forty."

"result......"

Old Lin chuckled coldly twice.

"Old Zhong passed away early. I thought he had a keen eye for talent and found a good backer for his daughter. I never expected that when I saw this daughter last year, she was so sick that she looked emaciated."

One can discern the refined meaning from the sound of the strings.

Old Lin's words had a hidden meaning.

The old generals patiently listened to what was to come.

"We consulted numerous experts, but they couldn't find the cause of the illness. They only said it was due to the body's natural aging process and that there was no cure."

"Nonsense, who looks seventy at forty? Their family doesn't have that problem."

"Old Zhong saved my life, and I have an obligation to take care of his child."

"Since the orthodox path is blocked, I've turned to the mystical path."

Old Lin glanced at the group of people whose appetites had been whetted.

"Guess what happened?"

Li Shengli didn't pay much attention at first, thinking he would just listen to the story to pass the time.

But as I listened, I started to take it to heart.

Because his daughter Siwen almost married Zhang Qizhe.

Moreover, his mindset has changed as he has grown older.

I'm more receptive to these things now.

Old Lin said, squinting his eyes.

"This niece's aging is because her husband has borrowed her fortune; her birth chart is just right to bring good luck to her husband."

"If it were just a simple matter of borrowing luck, it wouldn't be a big deal. Husband and wife are one, so there wouldn't be any major reaction. What's most infuriating is that it also helped him ward off evil spirits, and now his illness is a backlash from those evil spirits."

"It's not a coincidence; it's all a scheme by men."

Mr. Lin stopped everyone from asking questions.

The shock and confusion on the faces of the elderly men were exactly the same as his reaction after hearing these words.

"What that person said was too far-fetched; after listening to it, I also thought it was nonsense."

"But after that person did some treatment, my niece's condition improved a lot; at least she could eat and sleep again."

"Since the doctor was helpless, I had no choice but to believe him."

"I won't go into the details of the investigation and handling. That man had accidentally killed someone before but was exonerated. He was tainted by the murderer's evil aura and resentment. Later, he was led astray by someone to take the wrong path of borrowing luck. When he couldn't suppress his many sins, he pushed his wife forward to take the blame."

"If I hadn't had my doubts and consulted other people, his evil scheme would have succeeded, and he would still have been promoted and made a fortune."

Old Lin took a couple of sips of water and sipped slowly.

"I'm telling everyone this to give you a heads-up."

"The position we occupy, the power we gain, and even the wealth and fortune our descendants are born with will all be coveted by others."

"Those young people who are not clear-headed are the most easily manipulated by others under the guise of free love."

"Once someone becomes close to you, it's really hard to guard against their underhanded tricks."

"Even without underhanded tactics, it's easy to use one's naturally good fortune to benefit others for no reason."

"Many people lack a conscience."

The elderly people nodded in agreement.

Having lived to a ripe old age, I've experienced and seen a lot, so naturally I've come to think a lot.

Old Lin continued.

"We are just ordinary people, all from humble backgrounds. We wouldn't dare look down on children from ordinary families, but there's a huge element of gambling involved here."

"Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose; they want to get shoes, and then upgrade to better ones..."

"Can our pampered descendants really outmaneuver those ambitious wolf cubs?"

Old Lin shook his head.

He simply doesn't have that much confidence in his own child.

Since you lack confidence, why not find someone you know well and who is a good match for you?

At this point, the elders understood.

Ye Zhao listened with deep emotion.

If they hadn't interfered with Li Siwen and Zhang Qizhe back then, her daughter would probably have been devoured without a trace.

They came out for a walk to clear their heads, and after telling this story, the group started chatting about interesting anecdotes.

But some of those words really touched my heart.

Li Tian swam happily, but it was more tiring than swimming in the pool, so she went ashore when she got tired.

Seeing this, Li Muchen also followed to the shore.

The two of them wrapped themselves in large bath towels and went back to the house to shower and change clothes.

After tidying up, when I came out again, I saw the sun setting in the west, and the sea and sky blending into one magnificent view.

Li Tian took a stool and sat down next to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao then took a towel and dried her granddaughter's hair.

"Old Li, how old is your granddaughter?"

"They're about to go to college, so they must be seventeen or eighteen by now."

"No, no, this child doesn't look that big to me; his face is still very tender."

Li Tian smiled.

"Dear grandpas and grandmas, I skipped a grade in elementary school and I'm only 14 this year."

The group looked at Li Tian in disbelief.

Even if children are only a few years apart, the difference can be quite significant.

"That's terrible, my youngest grandson is already eighteen. Old Li, do you think he's too old?"

Lee Seungri pursed his lips, his disdain obvious.

"It's alright, it's alright, I have a fifteen-year-old grandson, that's perfect."

What do you mean by "suitable"? It's not suitable at all.

Lee Seungri proudly raised his head.

His granddaughter is someone that most people can't match.

Ye Zhao was too lazy to argue with them and pulled Li Tian back to the room.

Li Tian didn't ask any further questions.

When it comes to age, what else could it be?

It's just idle old men and women randomly playing matchmaker.
