Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

"I used to worry that you were too stubborn and straightforward. It seems that running a business is quite a test of character!" Qian Shuzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Ting Nan clasped her hands in thanks.

"Hmph, you brat, you should thank me. Your uncle sent you to run a business, and I didn't stop him. You hated me back then, didn't you? Don't think I don't know. You ignored me for days." Qian Shuzhen was also vengeful.

"No, I don't hate you. Business is bad, we're broke, and I'm anxious. Besides, it seems like I'm the only one left in the family who can run away," Song Tingnan said softly.

“It’s alright, it’s understandable that you hate us. You’re so young, it’s really an overestimation of your abilities. But people need to be tempered. Every setback we face is beneficial. You see, Master Gao likes you, which is also due to your usual training. He praised you for your good physique, resilience, and endurance, right?” Qian Shuzhen said to herself.

"Grandma, you know that my master praised me?" Ting Nan was truly impressed.

“Listen to Nan, I’ve always believed since I was little that all difficulties are temporary, and that hard work will lead to a bright future.” No wonder Qian Shuzhen has always been so optimistic and open-minded.

"Grandma, I'm on your side," Ting Nan immediately added.

My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!

“Tingnan, actually I’m quite worried about Mingxiang and Mingfu’s intelligence, after all, your aunt… I’m just thinking that you’ll have to take on the responsibility of this whole family in the future…” Qian Shuzhen’s thoughts are jumping around so much, Grandma, don’t mess with me, I can’t take it.

"No, no, Grandma, I read in a book at the library that if it's not congenital, it won't be passed on to the next generation," Ting Nan hurriedly comforted Qian Shuzhen.

"Really? That's good, that's good." Qian Shuzhen patted her chest. This matter had been weighing on her mind for many years. Her husband had passed away, and she had no one to talk to about it. And Nan, that clever little devil, when did she go to the library to read? She should have told her about it sooner.

“Although we were anxious about your uncle’s marriage, we did investigate. Yi Dani became like that because she was sick as a child and didn’t get treatment. She’s a pitiful person. We guessed it wouldn’t affect their offspring, which is why we let them get married. But we were worried about the possibility. Fortunately, the book said it wouldn’t be passed on to future generations, so that’s good. That’s good.” Qian Shuzhen completely felt relieved.

“No way, Grandma, you’re just guessing about something this big? Does Uncle even know? Grandma and Grandpa really have an adventurous spirit! What if… you’re just setting your son up for failure?” Song Tingnan muttered under her breath, feeling sorry for Song Wanli for another two minutes. Qian Shuzhen continued her nagging: “Your aunt’s family is so sexist. They completely neglected her when she was sick. They married her off with no dowry whatsoever. If it weren’t for the banquet, I bet her mother wouldn’t even recognize our house. We haven’t had a single visit in all these years. Luckily, your aunt is quite docile when she’s not sick. Only someone with that kind of personality can live a good life with your uncle…”

"Uncle, your mother's demands are really low. All she has is a limp?"

Ting Nan's mind raced. "It seems that my grandparents played a big part in why my uncle is so concerned about his limp. My unfortunate father, blind in one eye, still married a beautiful and capable wife and had children. He was just unlucky..."

It seems that the idea of ​​"being physically disabled but not mentally disabled" must be instilled from a young age.

Hearing that Nan was sleepy, he stopped complaining and didn't know when Qian Shuzhen fell asleep.
