Lu Yinxi's little grandaunt lived in Lu Zizun's neighborhood. In the building opposite them, they could indeed hear the argument.

Yan Juan smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't have a job. Old Lu hasn't been doing well at work recently. He's in a bad mood, so we inevitably quarreled a little."

"Sigh."

Grandma Lu also understood Yan Juan's helplessness and her son's uneasy mood after being disappointed in his work. She asked Yan Juan tentatively, "Why don't you find a job?"

Yan Juan looked a little unhappy.

!!

"Mom, I have to stay at home to take care of the child. If I go out and find a job, who will take care of the child?" Yan Juan lowered her head to cut the vegetables again. Grandma Lu vaguely heard Yan Juan muttering non-stop. She was probably saying that Grandma Lu only knew how to take care of Lu Yinxi now and did not care about Lu Jingjing.

Grandma Lu was unhappy, but she could not say anything.

A few years ago, Yan Juan also had a decent job as the manager of a supermarket. Later on, when she was pregnant with Yan Juan, she took the initiative to quit her job. After staying at home for a few years, she had deviated from society's development. It was not easy for her to return to society and work.

Yan Juan stared at her reflection in the glass window. She was a housewife at home and spent all day around her children and husband. She was so busy that she did not have time to apply skincare products and do yoga.

Life had turned her once sexy waist into a bucket waist. Her face, which used to look full of collagen, had also grown spots and turned yellow because of smoke and childbirth.

She gradually lost her fashion sense and did not know how to dress up.

How was she going to return to work like this?

Yan Juan's heart ached at the thought of her sacrifice over the years. She was a little angry, and her chopping of bones became more ruthless. Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of bones being chopped in the kitchen. Lu Yinxi jumped in shock, and her breathing became faster.

Grandma Lu quickly protected Lu Yinxi in her arms and comforted her. "Yinxi is fine. It's fine, it's fine. Grandma is here." Grandma Lu glared at the kitchen. Yan Juan was a little vexed when she saw Lu Yinxi's frightened expression.

Lu Jingjing looked up at Lu Yinxi and said softly, "Coward."

Grandma Lu glanced at Lu Jingjing. They were both her granddaughters, so she didn't say anything.

When Lu Yinxi heard Lu Jingjing's words, her body froze for a moment before she crawled out of Grandma Lu's arms. After a while, Second Uncle Lu returned with the wine. When he saw the two pairs of shoes by the entrance, he looked up at the living room and shouted at the person sitting on the sofa, "Mom, and Yinxi, you're all here?"

"You went to buy wine again?"

Grandma Lu started to scold her son.

Second Uncle Lu listened for a long time. Seeing that Grandma Lu still did not stop, he was a little impatient and scolded her, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Grandma Lu was stunned. Then, she glared at Second Brother and sighed. "Mom is worried about you. You can't be so depressed. You're the backbone of this family..." Seeing that his mother was about to start nagging again, Second Brother Lu quickly ran back to his room and closed the door. The world was quiet.

Second Brother Lu only came out of his room when dinner started.

Even though Grandma Lu had been muttering for the entire afternoon, Second Brother Lu still drank some wine at the dining table.

During the meal, Lu Yinxi was very quiet and obedient. She only picked up the dishes in front of her. Yan Juan thought that this child had just lost her parents and was pitiful, so she picked up a piece of fish for her. This fish did not have bones, so it did not matter if the child ate it.

Lu Yinxi thanked her softly and put the piece of fish into her bowl.

After the meal, Yan Juan asked them to stay at their house tonight. Grandma Lu knew that Lu Yinxi was not used to staying at someone else's house, so she rejected her. She held Lu Yinxi's hand and walked out of Second Brother Lu's house. As they walked in the district, Grandma Lu said to Lu Yinxi, "Yinxi, do you like Second Uncle's house?"

Lu Yinxi held her grandmother's hand and followed her with her head hooked. Upon hearing this, Lu Yinxi thought carefully for a moment before saying, "I don't like it."

"Why?"

She said, "Sister doesn't like me. Second Uncle and Aunt love to argue."

Grandma Lu's expression changed slightly and she scolded her son for being a jerk.

"Then in the future, will you agree to live with Second Uncle and the rest?"

Lu Yinxi's face turned pale. She squeezed her grandmother's hand and asked, "Is Grandma sending me to Second Uncle's house?"

Grandma Lu was heartbroken.

If possible, she wanted to take care of Lu Yinxi until she grew up.

She forced a smile, her old face covered in wrinkles.

She did not know if the child could understand her, but Grandma Lu could not help but mutter, "Grandma is old. Grandma's health is getting worse and worse. Grandma can't accompany Yinxi for more than a few years. After Grandma leaves, Yinxi has to have a family. Uncle is Yinxi's relative and your father's biological brother. He will help take care of you..."

Lu Yinxi understood what her grandmother meant.

She asked Grandma Lu, "Will Grandma only be at ease if I have a family?"

"Of course."

She pressed her toes hard on the ground and squeezed her small hands. She lowered her head and said, "Sure, I can stay with Second Uncle and the rest."

Lu Yinxi was so obedient, but Grandma Lu's heart ached even more.

"My poor little granddaughter." Grandma Lu was about to cry.

She thought of her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and then thought of the scene of Lu Yinxi being alone and helpless after her death. Grandma Lu's heart ached so much that she could not breathe. "Damn it! A murderer who was killed by the heavens will die a horrible death!" She did not dare to let Lu Yinxi hear her, so she cursed the murderer softly.

Lu Yinxi looked at her grandmother's tears and felt like crying.

"Grandma, don't cry. I'll be good in the future." If staying at Second Uncle's house can reassure you, then I'm willing to stay at Second Uncle's house. Even if Second Uncle always likes to drink, Second Aunt always complains, and Sister never wants to talk to me, I'll still stay at their house.

...

Time passed very quickly. Fang Yuqing gave birth to a little princess.

Fang Yuqing had strongly objected to Jiang Wei calling her Princess Jiang, but it did not work. Princess Jiang was raised as a princess since she was young. She wore a princess dress since a young age and learned etiquette.

When she was young, she always went to learn etiquette and musical instruments with Sister Ran Ran from her uncle's family. Princess Jiang listened seriously to every class and won the top prize in every exam, but Fang Taoran was like a little spinning top and spun non-stop.

Fang Taoran only studied etiquette for two months before telling Fang Yusheng that she didn't want to continue. She said that it was meaningless. Fang Yusheng did not agree. He was dedicated to making his daughter into a quiet and beautiful lady, but Fang Taoran was very similar to her mother and refused to be taught.

After Fang Yusheng's rejection, the bold Fang Taoran actually ran away from etiquette class. That year, Fang Taoran was only four years old. She only carried a small school bag and ran away from home.
