Chapter 391

Does the family have any extra money right now?

We still need to get a gift for the eldest son to take when he starts his apprenticeship. Would ordinary gifts even impress his master?

Besides, they didn’t even ask for anything.

Qi Yingying was frustrated, but she knew better than to say those things in front of her eldest son.

Old He understood this too; they probably didn’t want anything, but he was doing this for the eldest son’s sake.

Qi Yingying went to the kitchen, and He Quan felt a little unhappy.

It’s too early to start cooking; Xiao Tian won’t be home from work by then.

And what about the eldest son? Didn’t he promise not to take his frustrations out on Xiao Tian? Can’t he at least wait for him to join us for dinner?

“He Cheng hasn’t come back yet, why are we eating so early?” He Quan didn’t want to provoke the eldest son and pretended to be concerned about He Cheng.

“Forget about him. He has his own money; he can eat out with his wife. Or, he can eat at his in-laws’. He’s always hanging around their house, can’t they spare him a meal?”

Mentioning his second son only made He Zhifei angrier.

Seeing that He Zhifei was set on eating early, He Quan decided not to argue.

At dinner time, He Cheng and his wife didn’t come back, He Wei was sent away, He Tian hadn’t finished work yet, and on top of that, He Wei was too sad to eat. There weren’t many people at the table.

He Ming was relieved that his elder brother and sister-in-law were there. Otherwise, the tense atmosphere would have been unbearable.

He kept shoveling food into his mouth, and the others remained quiet.

He Zhifei kept piling food onto Qinghe’s plate, “Aren’t you guys off tomorrow too? Why don’t you and your wife bring the kids over? Let’s have a family gathering.

I haven’t seen Mingming and Yueyue in ages.

If we don’t see them soon, they might forget who I am!”

He Zhifei didn’t have much affection for the two little ones, but since the eldest son was important, his children were important too.

“It’s been cold, and they haven’t been going out much. Let’s wait until it warms up,” Wang Qinghe firmly replied.

Children were innocent, so they could sense other people’s sincerity even more.

This family didn’t have much affection for Mingming and Yueyue. Their false displays of affection and concern might upset the two kids.

Since he didn’t need anything from He Zhifei, he felt free to turn down his requests outright.

Getting rejected, He Zhifei awkwardly lowered his head and continued eating.

His anxiety grew. How could he mend the relationship between his son and the family?

Did he really need to demand fairness?

He Zhifei felt threatened.

Wang Qinghe had no idea what he was thinking and didn’t care to guess.

The only one left from He Youde's family here is He Tian. The next step is him.

After dinner, He Zhifei took Wang Qinghe out again. This time, they brought a lot of good things.

These were items the family had saved over the years. Qi Yingying felt a pang in her heart as she brought them out.

There was a ten-year-old ginseng root inside!

Such a thing was rare. If not for Old He's request, she would never have taken it out.

"Older daughter-in-law, I'm going out for a stroll. I'll be back later," He Quan, preoccupied with his younger son's family, said.

Qi Yingying could guess where he was going and didn't bother to stop him.

Anyway, it was already a done deal that He Huihui had been kicked out.

It was just a pity that He Tian hadn't been kicked out too.

If He Tian had been kicked out of the family, there would finally be peace.

As soon as He Quan left the house, he headed straight to his grandson He Tian's workplace.

He waited until He Tian finished work.

When He Tian came out of his unit, he was surprised to see his grandfather waiting for him, "Grandpa? What are you doing here on such a cold day?"

He Quan's face was pale from the cold, "Xiao Tian, your sister is in serious trouble."

"Huihui? What did she do?" He Tian wasn't very concerned about his sister's affairs. Huihui had always been good at reading the room. What serious trouble could she possibly be in?

"She was found sleeping with Ji Feng in He Wei's bed," He Quan quickly and quietly explained the situation to his grandson.

He Tian was dumbfounded.

He understood each word, but combined, it sounded like some sort of incomprehensible text.

"She's already been kicked out of your uncle's house. Your father begged for mercy, so they didn't kick you out too. You have to be careful from now on. Don't let them catch you making any more mistakes.

Your aunt has never liked you, and neither have He Wei and the others.

At least until your father and I help you deal with Wang Qinghe, you can't afford to be willful again."

He Quan was very worried about his grandson's future.

He Tian really wanted to curse. Earlier that afternoon, he had reluctantly spent money to buy a watch, hoping it would make his uncle's family change their opinion of him.

And now, right after getting off work, he heard about his sister's shocking incident. Could He Huihui cause any more trouble?

"Grandpa, should I give the watch another day?" He Tian took out the watch and asked helplessly.

"Give it to him today! Your uncle took his precious eldest son to see Director Zhou at the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital. Let's go back to your place first and find out exactly what happened.

While we're at it, we can discuss what to do next.

You can return to your uncle's place a bit later. I'll go back first, and you come back after.

Once you're back, give the watch and talk about your sister's issue. You need to make a good statement."

"By the way, when you go back, get something else for He Wei."

He Quan thought about how He Wei had been crying and felt that they needed to address things from her perspective.

"Buy again? I’ve already spent so much on my eldest uncle’s family. If I spend more, I really won’t have enough left. Grandfather, I have someone I’m interested in. I want to pursue her and marry her.

She’s the daughter of one of the leaders at our factory. If I can be with her, with the help of her father and my eldest uncle, I’ll definitely go much further in the future."

He Tian started painting a rosy picture, even though she hadn’t agreed to him yet, but he was the best among her suitors.

She treated him differently too.

Hearing this, He Quan was also pleased: "Good, good, no wonder you’re my fine grandson. I’ll cover He Wei’s gift this time."

"Thank you, Grandfather. When I make something of myself in the future, I’ll never forget you," He Tian said, visibly moved.

"You don’t need to be so formal with your old grandpa. Let’s head back to your place first. By the way, I’ve already taken care of the temporary workers’ issue today.

Once we talk to your dad, we’ll have Old Wang’s people come over tomorrow."

He Quan was very happy about his grandson’s potential.

His younger son’s future success still hinged on this grandson.

"Grandfather, will bringing those people to the provincial city really get rid of Wang Qinghe?" "If they were any good, Wang Qinghe wouldn’t have come to the provincial city in the first place."
