“Speak. Are you going to help me or not?”

“What’s in it for us?”

Li Qinglang raised his brows. “What do you want?”

The three of them exchanged glances and said smilingly, “Treat us to a meal at Jin Jiang Restaurant and we’ll help you.”

Li Qinglang considered it. “No problem, but you are really odd! Your aunt’s cooking is better than that at Jin Jiang Restaurant. If you want good food, why not just go to your aunt’s house?”

Gu Ziang rolled his eyes. “We would like to! It’s all right if we go now and then, but if we go too often and ask aunt to cook, Uncle will glare at us as if he would like to get rid of all of us. He’s afraid that Aunt will scald herself while cooking.

“Besides, Aunt is busy with the children now. She doesn’t have the time to bother us. If we go and look for Aunt now, Uncle will have our heads.”

Li Qinglang: “…”

Gu Zihan shrugged. “Putting everything else aside, I really admire Mo Yang for his cooking skills. I’ve heard that Uncle can’t bear to let Aunt cook, so Mo Yang had to make tonics for his mother from a young age. Wow, wow, wow!”

Li Qinglang hit Gu Zihan’s head. “That shows that your Uncle dotes on his wife. Ask your father to learn from him.”

Gu Ziqi said bitterly. “Our father is not bad! But he’s so busy every day. We don’t dare to bring it up. If we tell him, he definitely won’t think he has not enough time or feel that there’s no need to take care of his wife. He will only…”

Gu Ziang: “He will only tell us to learn from Mo Yang.”

Li Qinglang: “…”

Li Qinglang burst out laughing. “Your father means well. Be good! Learn from Mo Yang and be filial to your mother.”

Gu Zihan said gloomily, “We’re willing to do that! It’s not that we don’t want to take care of Mother, but… do we have to lavish her with care every day? Then… how will we find time to beat Mo Yang? He crushes me whenever we have a competition. I don’t like it!”

Gu Ziqi lay her head on the table in despair. “That’s right! Uncle, we’re already working very hard. Why can’t we beat Mo Yang? How did he get a brain like that?”

Li Qinglang patted their little heads. “Good children! Mo Yang is a pervert. No need to bother with him!”

The three children, “…”

Next, Li Qinglang told the children about Han Chuanzong’s situation. The children were not very surprised by what they heard.

The Gu family never spoilt their children. They had all suffered in the past. Now that times were better, the new generation of children had not suffered much as they grew up.

In order to allow the children to cherish their present lives, the older folks often told them about the difficulties of the past and even brought them to the village to experience the environment there.

The children were not surprised by a boy like Han Chuanzong. They had met such children before.

After Li Qinglang explained his plan, the children nodded to show they understood.

Another Sunday arrived. Han Jing had gone home early the day before. She was thinking about how to bring her younger brother out.

That day, Han Chuanzong was playing at home. The child disliked learning. He went to school infrequently and often ran off to play by himself.

That day, Han Jing bought two chicken drumsticks. She ran over to negotiate with Han Chuanzong. “Chuanzong!”

“What?”

“I’m going to your brother-in-law’s house today. Do you want to go too? My boyfriend, the one who drove to our house last time.”
