Li Hua, who had gone to the village entrance and was pulled back by his daughter, looked absent-minded.

  "Niang niang, I still think I should go back and take a look. That's my dad, we haven't seen each other for 17 years. This lifetime, I never thought I'd see him again!"

  Li Xiang looked up at Mu Yan, sighed and sat down.

  "Alright, then you go! At worst, I'll follow you and plant crops for a lifetime!"

  Li Hua's eyes were filled with tears and restraint: "Nang Nang, don't be like this, it's hard for Mom!"

  "Mother, sorry, it's not your fault, you go,"

  Li Xiang was a thoughtful and precocious child from a young age, clever and wise beyond his years, which saved Li Hua a lot of trouble.

  It's precisely because of her thoughtfulness and considerateness that sometimes even Li Hua overlooks the fact that she is still a child.

  He is just a five-year-old child.

  If it weren't for her incompetence as a mother, how would she have let a five-year-old help make decisions?

  "Baby, will you go with me?"

  Seeing his daughter like this, Li Hua didn't feel good either, so he thought of taking her with him.

  After all, he was her maternal grandfather, and now they were the only relatives in the world.

  However, Li Xiang firmly shook her head. Li Hua had a nurturing relationship with her, but she didn't have any feelings for that person.

  "I'm not going, there's an old lady there, I'm scared."

  As soon as Li Lao Taitai was mentioned, Li Xiang's expression turned fearful, which fell into Li Hua's eyes and made her feel even more uncomfortable.

  It's really chilling to see things end up like this between people who are supposed to be close relatives.

  Mu Yan watched from the side, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

  He knew he was being too selfish by preventing her from recognizing her own father.

  Under the current circumstances, he must be selfish to the end.

  "Auntie, if you really want to acknowledge us, we won't stop you, but..."

  "All these years, because of your father's disappearance, you have suffered a lot of grievances, and even lost your own happiness because of this."

  "If he were to come back alone, it would be fine no matter how filial you are, but now, the other family doesn't lack children, they don't lack your filial piety."

  As Li Hua's eyes gradually dimmed, Mu Yan pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and forced himself to continue speaking ruthlessly.

  "We won't bother asking where he went all these years and why he didn't send any news back,"

  "But if you go looking for him, you must take on the appearance of a weakling and provoke him."

  "Only when those around you sympathize with you will there be no one standing on the moral high ground in the future, saying that you are ungrateful and unfilial..."

  "By emphasizing this point, you and Nini will be affected a little less."

  In other words, Li Hua had to take the initiative to attack first, otherwise once the Li family reacted, it would put her and her mother in a passive position.

  "No, Yuer, I...I don't know how to say this, that's my dad, I haven't seen him in seventeen years."

  As soon as they met, they started quarreling, how could she, a kind-hearted person, put up with it?

  "If you can't do it, then don't go, Mother. You still haven't understood Mu Yan's meaning until now."

  "I understand, it's just that I can't do it."

  "No, you don't understand. If you really understood, you wouldn't say something is impossible."

  Li Xiang saw that Li Hua showed no signs of changing her mind, her expression was somewhat cold and even a bit solemn.

  She gave Mu Yan a signal with her eyes.

  Muru sighed and looked at Li Hua with a mature gaze beyond his years.

  "Auntie, I just went out to investigate and found that although the Meng family surrendered their land and property during the land reform, they also received quite a severe punishment."

  Even now, every year Meng's elderly couple still volunteer to work for three months.

  Their generation because of composition problems, even marrying a daughter-in-law had to pick up someone else's unwanted ones. Their grandchildren still haven't found a wife until now.

  "Outer uncle was originally an amnesiac who was picked up by the Meng family and became a live-in son-in-law, yes, you didn't hear wrong, it's a live-in son-in-law!"
