“Why are you crying again? You are already a grandma of the kids. Aren't afraid they may laugh at you? You had a miscarriage at such an age, plus your health condition isn't so good, now you are crying so hard. What if you got some kind of chronic disease? Jinhua, now Jingxuan's finally gets better, and you move out. Don't think of that heartless family again. Nourish your body and take care of the kids, which is most important.”
The old woman walked over, sat at the bedside and said so as she held her daughter's hand. When she heard that her daughter and son-in-law had a condition, she stayed up the whole night. Before dawn, she already got up and hurried over from the next-door village. She felt like someone was cutting her heart, and couldn't help complaining about regretting to marry her daughter into this family! The only good thing was that Jingxuan and Jinghand both got recovered. Especially Jingxuan, it seemed his days were getting much better, and it was good to have a grandson-in-law now. It was just that he was too kind and well-behaved.
“Mom, I know, but I…”
How could he not understand it? The problem is, she just couldn't help it. They were such bullies.
“All right, mom. What grandma said is right. You are still in confinement. You can't cry like that. You can rest assured. Now Jinghan is getting better and better. When he gets a title, see who dares to bully us again! Besides, we got Shengrui now. And the wound on his head is almost healed. And when he is totally fine, he could beat ten at a time!”
To ease Lady Wang's mind, Ling Jingxuan spoke as easily as possible.
How would the little buns be absent at such a case?
“Grandma, father is really impressive. Don't worry. He will beat all those bad people away. And I am also learning martial arts head. When I grow up, I will protect you.”
The small bun squeezed over to the bedside and promised to her while patting on his little chest. The big bun Ling Wen also added, “Grandma, daddy said right. Don't cry. Have a good rest. After you get recovered, I will go to town to buy you a pair of silver earings, bling bling, very pretty.”
Ling Wen's usual tricks to coax people showed up again, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help smiling. A smile also crawled onto the face of the old lady and Lady Wang. Whether he was only comforting them or what, at least, he had the heart, right?
“OK, I'll listen to you. I won't cry. I still want to live till the day you two get married!”
After a while, Lady Wang wiped away her tears and the cloud over her head finally got dispersed. The father and two sons breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, the old woman also nodded with satisfaction. That was what she wanted to see. Such a life was worth expecting.
“Mom, are you all right?”
Shortly afterwards, Ling Jingpeng entered the room, followed by Ling Linghan and Yan Shengrui. Until now, someone's face was still pulled as long as down to the ground.
“Yeah, I'm fine. I shouldn't have split hairs. Don't worry, I will never get mad or what for those irrelevant people.”
After her mother and son and grandson's comforting, Lady Wang suddenly felt much stronger. Ling Chenglong, who stayed in a corner, also felt much relieved on seeing this. When he turned to look at his sons, undisguised guilt crawled onto his wrinkled face again. It took Jingxuan so much pains to help him live independently, but when he heard the old man was seriously ill, he…he felt so sorry to his son.
“Well, that's the way it is. What those outsiders do or say have nothing to do with us! What we need to do is close the door and live our life. Jingpeng, tell Gengniu's wife to cook some food. Having been busy outside all day, I'm so starving.”
“Hmm.”
Ling Jingpeng nodded and went out. On hearing the name Gengniu, Ling Wen who was standing by the bed immediately moved before Ling Jingxuan, with that pair of black eyes staring at him, face sunk. Ling Jingxuan had a twitch of the corner of his mouth, heart skipping a beat, then he turned to look at Yan Shengrui, signaling for help. How did he forget about this?
“Daddy, you…”
“Xiaowen, you got a minute? I have something to say to you.”
Here it comes! As soon as Ling Wen opened his mouth, Ling Jingxuan who played domineering outside shrank his neck. But the next second, Yan Shengrui's sound was heard. Ling Jingxuan patted on chest dramatically while heaving a sigh of relief. Ling Wen then turned to Yan Shengrui, frowning, “What is it? I have something to talk to daddy first.”

“Something very important. Let's go out first.”
Yan Shengrui picked him up, ignoring whether he agreed or not. Before he left, he still didn't forget to give Ling Jingxuan a wink, reminding him that he owed him a big one.
“Oh…”
After watching the father and son's figure disappear in his sight, Ling Jingxuan deeply exhaled a long breath. Everyone on spot couldn't help chuckling. Who allowed you to buy servants? Why does a village family need servants for? He is asking for it!
“Be careful, Dad. My elder brother is furious this time, and you'll be in trouble when he comes back.”
The small bun snickered covering his mouth. Even he thought that his daddy made big mistake. It was true they were rich now, but there was no need to buy servants! They themselves even had no room to stay. Why buy those servants?
“You little heartless thing. So I was good to you for thing! Go go go… Go out to play. I got things to talk to your second uncle.”
Stretching out a finger to tap his head, Ling Jingxuan pretended to get angry. After throwing Ling Jinghan a look, he stood up and said the old woman, “Grandma, you stay with mom. We'll talk later.”
“Oh, OK. You can go. I'm fine.”
The old woman was a typical peasant woman like Lady Wang, and loved them very much. Ling Jingxuan smiled and turned to leave with Ling Jinghan.
On the footpath not far from the Ling's house, Yan Shengrui and Ling Wen were dragging their long shadows under the sunshine. Ling Wen who was carried out against his own will wore a dark face. He was trying to say something serious to daddy!
“Xiaowen, are you mad because Jingxuan bought so much land and then bought some servants without letting you know?”
Suddenly, Yan Shengrui who was walking ahead stopped and turned to squat down before him, with that pair of deep peach-blossom-shape eyes looking at him. Ling Wen answered without thinking, “It's true that I was unhappy when daddy bought so much land. But after daddy explained to me about the return of investment, I thought it through. Though the homestead is not fertile as the dry land, as long as we nourish it for a few years, it could grow grains and other food. So it's ok to me. But, how could he buy servants? A village family like us, how can we let other serve us? Those outsiders may think we are very rich. Finally our days are getting better! Daddy is too extravagant!”
