"Hahaha... Grandma, did you see the Yang family's faces?"

Sitting in Pei Shizhou's car on their way home, Xia Yichu laughed in a rather unkind way. Sometimes, Yang Yunxia's actions really left Xia Yichu bewildered. Just like this time, she didn't know what Yang Yunxia was thinking, actually going to borrow money from Grandma Xia.

Then, last night Xia Yichu said that her grandmother was asleep and asked her to wait. She wasn't angry and sat on the sofa by herself until dawn.

After Grandma got up, she said she wanted to go to the Yang family's house with them, and she didn't object; she even nodded happily in agreement.

Seeing Xia Yichu's happy expression, Pei Shizhou was also in a good mood.

"I saw it. Now that Wang Fengxian is gone, she still wants to use moral blackmail against my two grandsons? No way! Xiao Chu, let's go back quickly. I wonder how your grandfather is doing at home?"

Luo Hao was taking care of Grandpa Xia at home. Last night, he and Pei Shizhou stayed in Grandpa Xia's room to look after him. Grandma Xia's house has two rooms, and yesterday they asked Pei Shizhou to go back, but he didn't want to.

He had originally planned to sleep on the sofa in the living room so that he and Luo Hao could take turns taking care of Grandpa Xia. But then Yang Yunxia arrived, so he squeezed into the room with Luo Hao.

Xia Yichu and Grandma Xia are sleeping in the same room. Luo Hao said he would take care of Grandpa Xia himself for the next few days. He would leave after the caregiver arrived and started taking care of things.

"Okay, Grandma."

Luo Hao seemed to care much more about Grandpa and Grandma Xia than their adopted daughter, Xia Guofang. Xia Guofang came for a short while this morning and then went home, saying she was worried about her youngest son, Luo Yuekai, and afraid he would be anxious if he woke up and couldn't see her.

"Grandma Xia, my maternal grandparents said they want to visit you and Grandpa Xia today."

"Okay, this hospitalization has caused your grandparents a lot of worry. I heard they even called your uncle to come back."

"Yes, I couldn't find my uncle at first; he won't be home until this morning."

The two elderly members of the Zhou family only managed to contact Zhou Wenbin after Grandma Xia woke up.

After learning about this, he immediately bought a plane ticket home, originally planning to return a month later.

"Thank you for your grandparents' concern. I heard your uncle went abroad to study because of your hands. Shizhou, your hands..."

At that time, Pei Shizhou's maternal grandmother cursed Pei Feng's ancestors for eighteen generations in front of Grandma Xia. Originally, the Zhou family wanted Shizhou to study medicine, but Pei Feng refused and caused trouble for Pei Shizhou every few days.

In the end, Pei Shizhou chose to join the army, and the matter was dropped. When Pei Shizhou injured his hand, his grandmother even went to Pei Feng's house and beat him with a broom.

Grandma Xia knew that Pei Shizhou's hand was unlikely to heal, otherwise his grandmother wouldn't have been so angry.

"Grandma Xia, my hand feels much better."

Grandma Xia thought Pei Shizhou was just trying to comfort her and didn't want her to worry. Actually, Pei Shizhou's hand had really gotten much better recently, and he seemed to have regained a lot of strength.

"It's good that you're getting better. You're young and you recover quickly. You'll be fine."

"Um"

They arrived at Grandma Xia's house shortly after. Pei Shizhou stopped the car, and Xia Yichu got out first, then helped Grandma Xia out of the car.

"Grandma, be careful."

"Okay, sure."

The two went inside first. Since there was no parking available in front of the house, Pei Shizhou drove the car to another location.

"Mom, Xiao Chu, no one from the Yang family is giving you any trouble, right?"

As soon as they got home, Grandma Xia asked Xia Yichu to help her inside to see Grandpa Xia, where Luo Hao was playing chess with him.

"No, Uncle, I'm going to tell you about Grandma..." Xia Yichu excitedly recounted what had happened at the Yang family's house.

"Good, that's how you deal with shameless people like them," Grandpa Xia agreed.

"As long as we don't suffer any losses, we'll keep Zhiqian and Zhiheng away from the Yang family in the future. Xiao Chu, do you know how to play chess? Come and play a game with your grandfather for a while. I'm going to buy groceries and come back to cook."

Luo Hao disapproved of Xia Guofang's visit to his parents-in-law and his return home in less than half an hour. Although the two elderly people in the Xia family didn't say anything on the surface, Luo Hao knew that they were still disappointed.

He wanted to take advantage of his trip to buy groceries to go home and ask Xia Guofang to bring their younger son over again. Tomorrow was Sunday, and his older son had told him to come over after school or tomorrow.

"Uncle, no need. You play chess with Grandpa, I'll go buy groceries."

"Grandma Xia, my maternal grandparents are here."

Just then, Pei Shizhou's voice came from outside. Then, the two elderly Zhou family members, seeing the door was ajar, came in. They were all old friends who had known each other for many years, so there wasn't much formality.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou." Xia Yichu greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle, Aunt,"

Luo Hao quickly stood up and called out as well. In the beginning, he often suffered losses and was cheated in business. Aunt Zhou taught him a lot, and he was always very grateful to them.

He also knew that it was because of his parents-in-law that Luo Hao would not be where he is today without the help and support of the two elders of the Xia family.

"Hey, Xiao Chu, Luo Hao."

Grandma Zhou looked at Xia Yichu and liked her more and more, but she wondered when she would be able to marry her grandson. She then came over to Grandma Xia and said, "You two really scared Old Zhou and me this time."

"I'm sorry to have caused you all so much worry."

After speaking, Grandma Xia's eyes reddened; this was truly a close call.

The two elderly members of the Zhou family quickly walked to the bedside. "Old Xia, you really need to get better soon!"

"It's alright, she'll be fine after some rest," Grandpa Zhou said with concern. Grandpa Xia waved his hand, "It's nothing, she'll be fine after some rest."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the atmosphere became lively.

"Grandpa and Grandma, you two chat, I'm going to buy groceries. Grandpa and Grandma Zhou, please stay for lunch."

"Yes, everyone should stay for dinner," Grandma Xia said with a face full of agreement.

"No, let's do it another day! Qiujuan went to buy groceries when we left, and Wenbin should be here soon. I just wanted to check on you guys, and I'll head back in a bit."

Shi Zhou, you and Xiao Chu can have lunch at my house together. You haven't seen your uncle in a long time.

Grandma Zhou's face beamed with a smile, not only because her son had returned, but also because he had said he had brought a very skilled doctor back to perform surgery on his grandson.

"Grandma Zhou, I won't go. I need to stay here to take care of my grandparents. I'll go home another day. Shi Zhou, you go home with Grandpa and Grandma Zhou later."

Zhou Wenbin only returned to China after so long; his family will definitely have a proper talk, so it's inconvenient for her to go. Besides, Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian are helping out at the Yang family's place, so they definitely won't have time to come.

She had to stay and lend Luo Hao a hand. Xia Zhiqian said the nanny wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, and Luo Hao couldn't take care of the two elderly people by himself.

"Xiao Chu, but..."

Pei Shizhou had promised Lin Weidong that he would stay with Xia Yichu, and he wanted Xia Yichu to go back with him. However, considering the current situation of the Xia family, he hesitated to bring it up.

"Shizhou, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here today to take care of my grandparents."

Xia Yichu knew what he was worried about; her uncle was just worrying unnecessarily. Last night, she had asked Pei Shizhou to go about his work, but he was worried and insisted on staying to keep her company.

"Shizhou, your uncle said he found a specialist from abroad to perform surgery on your hand."

"Really, Wenbin is such a great kid. Zhou, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go back with your grandparents."

Grandma Xia was especially happy; she was very satisfied with Pei Shizhou. She wasn't worried about his hands now, but she was concerned about potential long-term effects. It would be best if he could have surgery now.

"it is good"

Since Grandma Xia had said so, Pei Shizhou no longer hesitated. Grandma Zhou held Grandma Xia's hand and said, "Then you and Old Xia should take good care of yourselves. If you need any help, just let us know, and we'll come again when we have time."

"Okay, Xiao Chu, see your Grandpa and Grandma Zhou off."

Xia Yichu walked over and helped Grandma Zhou up, saying, "Grandma Zhou, I'll come see you again in a couple of days." The two walked and talked.

"Okay, but you can't lie to me."

"I'm not kidding you."

Xia Yichu saw Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou, and Pei Shizhou to the door, waved goodbye to them with a smile, and then turned back into the house.
