Chapter 1675: Every Family Has Its Own Difficulties
"Hmph! Now you know I was right? It's too late, but fortunately, Shi Yuan has a well-behaved personality and is still quite easy to raise. I hope he won't be like his parents in the future."
It is said that one can see a child's future from their youth, and their old age from the age of three.
Looking at Shi Yuan now, he shouldn't turn into his biological father. Qi Heng was very naughty when he was young and almost never had a moment of rest, while Shi Yuan is so well-behaved that it makes one's heart ache.
Shi Ran said: "He won't. With your upbringing, even the poorest roots can grow into good seedlings."
"Oh my!"
Shi Youxuan was surprised: "I never thought you would learn to butter someone up. Who did you learn that from?"
Among the children in the family, Shi Ran and Zirui have personalities most like their father—aloof and cold, never deigning to butter anyone up. Now, she has actually changed her temperament.
Shi Ran said: "I didn't need to learn; it comes naturally when the time is right. At home, no matter how good a mother-in-law is, she is different from one's own mother. One has to be careful with what one says, and gradually, one just learns."
"Not bad. Next time, you should butter up your own mother too. Do it more often. When buttering up is done well, everyone loves to hear it, and your own mother loves to hear it too," Shi Youxuan said.
Before the mother and daughter could finish their private conversation, Yun Qitian came out of the Study and started arranging to go home.
Although it is still early before dark, there is still a distance from the Sheng Family to the Yun Family, and that road is prone to traffic jams. If they want to arrive home before dark, they have to leave early.
Shi Ran called out to Shi Yuan: "Yuanyuan, say goodbye to Mom and Dad."
"Goodbye, Mom."
"Goodbye, Dad."
Shi Yuan's personality is much more cheerful now than when he was younger, but his reliance on Shi Ran is almost non-existent.
He is closer to his grandmother, Shi Youxuan, now. Children are all like this; they are closer to whoever raises them.
Shi Yuan is not as close to his sister He Yu as he is to his aunt Yueyue.
The couple took He Yu, got into the car, and hit the road.
Shi Ran felt a bit uncomfortable inside. She thought she was stronger than her mother, but now she knows she is far behind.
Her mother can take care of the whole family while handling outside matters with ease, but what about her?
She can't figure out the affairs at home, and she hasn't done well in her career outside either.
Her husband saw that his wife's mood was off, so he comforted her: "Next weekend, let's take Yuanyuan and Yueyue to the amusement park."
"Okay."
Shi Ran suddenly said: "I want to move back to our own home. I won't manage company matters anymore; I'll be a full-time housewife at home with peace of mind. From now on, the heavy responsibility of supporting the family will be handed over to you. Is that okay?"
"Wait a moment."
Yun Qitian pulled the car over to the side of the road, then reiterated with a serious face: "Say that again. You were serious just now, right? Not just a whim?"
Of course it was okay; he couldn't ask for anything better.
Living at his parents' house, not only did his wife feel awkward, but he was also very uncomfortable.
The reason is simple: his mother interferes too much and wants to meddle in everything. If he doesn't let her manage things, she gets sad.
And his mother also has opinions about his wife. Since she finds it hard to voice her opinions herself, she makes him do it.
By the same token, it is the same on this side. Things that his wife finds inconvenient to say to her mother-in-law, she asks him to solve. So, being a good married man, one cannot avoid being caught in the middle—it is so difficult.
However, he couldn't take the initiative to suggest moving back to their own small home. After all, his wife needs care, and the children need care. If both of them work, they can't take care of everything.
Now that his wife has taken the initiative to return to the family and be a full-time housewife, how could it not be okay?
It is more than okay.
He raised both hands in agreement.
On the other side.
The Sheng Family.
After their daughter and son-in-law left, Sheng Hanyu and his wife didn't delay for a minute; they put on their coats and prepared to go out.
They have very important things to do. If it weren't for their daughter's family coming over, they should have been at their aunt's house discussing things by now, and perhaps they would have even come up with a plan.
But since Shi Ran was here just now, Shi Youxuan didn't say a word to her. She is pregnant now and cannot exhaust her mind on these matters; protecting the Baobao in her belly is the most important thing.
Seeing her parents about to go out without telling her to change clothes, Yueyue blocked the door, displeased, and frowned: "Where are you going?"
Shi Youxuan was concise: "Move aside, or I'll spank you!"
"Mom is fierce. Fierce women aren't pretty!"
"You brat, you dare say I'm not pretty?" Shi Youxuan wouldn't indulge her youngest daughter. She raised her hand to spank her, so the little girl ran away, and she took the opportunity to walk out the door.
However, her husband did not follow.
Sheng Hanyu was held by the leg by his youngest daughter, who complained: "Dad, Mom is being unreasonable. Are you going to do something about it?"
He dotingly touched the top of his youngest daughter's head, smiled, and said softly: "Mom is the boss at home. Dad doesn't dare to do anything about Mom. You know that, so don't make things difficult for Dad."
"Your mother and I are going out on business. We aren't taking you this time, but we'll compensate you by going out to play next time, okay?"
"To the amusement park?"
The little girl tilted her head, her dark eyes rolling around, revealing her cleverness everywhere.
"That works."
Dad had agreed, but she still wouldn't let go, pushing her luck: "When you come back, buy me snacks. I want potato chips, and Yuanyuan wants crispy cookies."
"I don't have the final say on this; you have to ask Mom."
"No way, if I ask her, she won't agree."
Sheng Hanyu has endless patience for his youngest daughter. Even though it was already late, he was still haggling with Yueyue over two bags of snacks.
"You are dawdling..."
Shi Youxuan turned back and happened to see her youngest daughter hugging her husband's leg and not letting him leave.
She didn't say a word, just stared at her, and the little one immediately let go.
Waving her chubby little hands, she said goodbye to her parents: "Goodbye, Mom and Dad. I'll be good at home. Come back early, okay?"
"Let's go."
Shi Youxuan ignored her and pulled her husband out.
At Ji Yingjie's home.
She was very happy to see Shi Youxuan arrive.
But Sheng Hanyu had come as well, so it must be for something important!
Ji Yingjie had her husband accompany the children with their homework, then she brought the couple into the Study and closed the door: "Speak, what do you need me to do?"
Although Ji Yingjie could not remember the past after losing her memory, and her personality had undergone a great transformation, her clever mind remained unchanged.
There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to her aunt.
Shi Youxuan asked her aunt: "Can you make the Ji Family's method of breaching firewalls public?"
"Why?"
So, she told her aunt about how Zhu Qingrui was stirring up trouble in L Country, using funds stolen from major banks.
She said to her aunt: "If we cut off his retreat, he won't have the conditions or the opportunity to do evil things, which can be considered a roundabout way of helping L Country and helping the whole world."
Ji Yingjie fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
Shi Youxuan asked: "Aunt, do you disagree?"
She felt that her aunt had no reason to disagree.
