Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Because of the fight and the cardboard box incident, the three of them have now become friends.

In the following days, Ji Yuan and Li Jianjian would invite Ling Xiao to their house for meals every time it was time to eat.

Ling Xiao started by sitting on the stairs a little below the front door, and slowly began to move down.

A few days later, it was almost lunchtime, so Ling Xiao sat down at the entrance of room 202.

Seven-year-old Ling Xiao was still somewhat reserved, but not much.

Getting a free meal is something you get used to after a while.

……

this day.

While the four were eating noodles, the commotion upstairs started again, just like it always is.

Li Haichao glanced upstairs, then at Ling Xiao.

Li Haichao truly felt sorry for Ling Xiao.

In particular, he is someone who really loves children.

Fortunately, things are better now. He can help out a bit, and he feels more at ease having Ling Xiao come over for meals every day.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Li Haichao immediately went to the landline at home and answered the call.

Ji Yuan looked at Li Haichao.

His photographic memory allowed him to recall who made the call.

The call was from He Mei. Her mother back in the countryside was sick and needed money for treatment and someone to take care of her.

She didn't have any relatives or friends in the city; on the contrary, Li Haichao, her blind date, had become the person she was most familiar with.

In addition, she knew that Li Haichao was a good person, so she asked Li Haichao to lend her money and also wanted to entrust He Ziqiu to Li Haichao for a period of time.

As expected, Li Haichao readily agreed to He Mei's request.

It has to be said that Li Haichao is sometimes just too kind-hearted.

To say that Li Haichao was very wealthy would certainly not be an exaggeration.

This time, He Mei directly borrowed 10,000 yuan from Li Haichao.

What time is it now? 1999.

At that time, 10,000 yuan was considered a large sum of money.

Many people won't be able to come up with 10,000 yuan even after 20 years.

After finishing his call, Li Haichao stood up and looked at Ji Yuan and the other two, saying, "Xiao Ji, Xiao Jian, Ling Xiao, I have to go out for a bit. After you finish eating, put your bowls down and I'll clean them up when I get back."

Don't run around this afternoon, just stay home and play, or go to Grandma Qian's house.

The three nodded in agreement as they listened to Li Haichao's words.

Soon, Li Haichao left home.

……

in the afternoon.

Ji Yuan and the other two were watching TV together in the living room.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Li Haichao returned with He Ziqiu.

When he returned, Li Haichao looked at Li Jianjian in the living room and felt a little guilty.

"Dad, you're back..."

Li Jianjian looked towards the entrance and called out with a smile.

However, her smile vanished instantly when she saw He Ziqiu.

He turned his head away and continued watching TV, still unhappy.

Li Haichao coughed lightly, ignored Li Jianjian, and led He Ziqiu to the smallest room in the house.

As mentioned before, this room is usually used as a storage room, so it is indeed now piled with a lot of miscellaneous items.

However, it can still be tidied up. Li Haichao promised to take care of He Ziqiu, so naturally he would arrange a place for He Ziqiu to stay.

Actually, they could arrange for him to live across the hall, but Li Haichao felt that it was he who had promised to take care of He Ziqiu, not Ji Yuan, so how could they arrange for He Ziqiu to live across the hall?

However, you can tell Ji Yuan about the items cleared out of the storage room and put them in the storage room of 202.

"Ziqiu, Uncle will tidy up this place later, and you can live here from now on, okay?"

After Li Haichao opened the door to the storage room, he looked at He Ziqiu and said.

He Ziqiu looked up at Li Haichao without saying a word.

Ok?

Li Jianjian, who was watching TV in the living room, had very sharp ears. What did she hear?!

Li Jianjian immediately stood up and went to Li Haichao and He Ziqiu, excitedly asking, "Dad, why is he living in our house?!"

"Aunt He Mei had to go back to her hometown, and Zi Qiu had no one to take care of him, so Dad brought him back."

Li Haichao explained to Li Jianjian.

"I won't agree!"

Li Jianjian shouted excitedly.

"It's no use if you don't agree."

Li Haichao said firmly.

Li Jianjian glared angrily at Li Haichao, then looked at He Ziqiu, baring her teeth as if she was about to bite him.

When are you going to marry my mom?

At this moment, He Ziqiu suddenly looked up at Li Haichao and asked.

Li Haichao was stunned for a moment, and Li Jianjian's eyes widened as she shouted, "No, no!"

"Marriage? What marriage?"

Li Haichao quickly replied.

He Ziqiu explained, "I saw it all. You gave my mom money. My second aunt said that when a man gives money to a woman, it's like giving a betrothal gift, which means he wants to get married."

"what!"

Li Jianjian shouted loudly.

Li Haichao completely ignored Li Jianjian. After hearing He Ziqiu's words, he couldn't help but smile and joked, "Then you'll be our family's child from now on."

He Ziqiu was stunned.

Seeing He Ziqiu stunned, Li Haichao realized he had gone too far with his joke and quickly said, "Ziqiu? What's wrong? Are you alright? I was just joking with you..."

"dad!"

He Ziqiu shouted.

The word "Dad" completely stunned Li Haichao.

Li Jianjian was also stunned, and even Ling Xiao couldn't help but cast a glance at her.

After a moment of confusion, Li Haichao responded with a "Yes".

"dad!"

He Ziqiu quickly called out again.

A touched smile appeared on Li Haichao's face: "Eh."

The two, one big and one small, called out and responded, and couldn't help but laugh, as if they had really become a family.

At this moment, Li Jianjian was truly furious.

He slapped the two of them while shouting, "You're not allowed to call him Dad! He's not your dad, he's my dad!"

Li Jianjian exploded, and Ji Yuan's attempts to calm her down were ineffective.

After all, He Ziqiu had already moved in, and he was still calling Li Haichao "Dad" and "Son" all the time.

How could she not explode?

She felt as if she could already see the day He Mei moved in.

For the rest of the afternoon, Li Jianjian kept chasing after He Ziqiu and hitting him. Ji Yuan held her down, but as soon as he let go, she would chase after him again.

Can't hold it down at all.

Li Haichao went out to buy a bed for He Ziqiu, leaving Li Jianjian and He Ziqiu in the care of Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan couldn't control her anyway, so as long as it wasn't too outrageous, he let Li Jianjian deal with He Ziqiu.

He also realized that if Li Jianjian wasn't allowed to vent her anger, she wouldn't be able to get rid of it, and if she wasn't satisfied, she would be even less likely to accept He Ziqiu.

In one afternoon, Li Haichao had cleaned up the storage room and put the new bed inside.

Since the storage room was too small, Li Haichao bought a bunk bed with a desk underneath. This way, even though the room was small, He Ziqiu still had a desk to do his homework.

Li Jianjian chased He Ziqiu and hit him for an entire afternoon.

He Ziqiu didn't fight back, he just ran away, and when he couldn't escape, he was forced to take the beating.

Li Jianjian stopped hitting after a while; she wasn't really being unreasonable.

I was just angry and scared.

Yes, I'm scared.

She was afraid someone would come and take Li Haichao away.

In her eyes now, He Mei and He Ziqiu are both here to steal her father away.
