Chapter 1712: Chapter 1311: Refusing to Accept_3

Kang Li: "Should I go over?"

Jiang Hongfa: "Are you done with your work?"

"I haven’t really been busy. There are people in charge here. I just took a walk around the factory and the eco-cycle park."

Kang Li said with a smile. Hearing this, Jiang Hongfa spoke: "Don’t treat your health lightly, or this old man and your dad might end up who knows how."

"Don’t worry about me, I won’t become a workaholic. Besides, the kids are still young—I need to watch them grow up and be there for you and my dad, take care of you in your golden years!"

The smile on Kang Li’s face was bright, she looked so full of positive energy.

Jiang Hongfa saw this, but still checked: "You’re not planning to rest a bit?"

"No need."

Kang Li shook her head.

Jiang Hongfa: "Then you can go, but you can’t go alone."

"Okay."

Kang Li replied.

After lunch, Jiang Hongfa’s driver drove, and with a famous bodyguard accompanying, Kang Li set out for the provincial city.

It should be said, Old Master Xi didn’t give all the wild ginseng he bought to Kang Li to process—instead, he cut half off, and kept it with the reishi mushroom for Old Madam Xi to directly nourish her health.

Well, he needed some tonic for himself too—so he could hang on for another couple of years.

After using these good things—wild ginseng and reishi—the old master’s health obviously improved.

Even Old Madam Xi’s condition made a big turn for the better.

She could walk independently, and now could go for ten minutes at a time, unlike before. She could walk, yes, but needed someone’s help, walked slowly, and at most could only manage five or six minutes. That’s why she spent most days in a wheelchair or in bed.

And when winter came, she couldn’t get out of bed at all.

All in all, Old Madam Xi felt that Aoli Village was her lucky land. Coming here closer to nature, her sleep improved, and her long-sick body slowly turned for the better. To be honest, she was willing to stay here long term.

But Old Madam Xi knew that wasn’t possible. For one, her home was in North City. For another, her children and grandchildren were all there. For years, the whole family worried about her health.

Now that she was getting better, getting back to her family for a happy reunion was better than anything.

"Once we’re back, your health will only get better!"

"I hope so, too. That way I won’t keep being a bother to the kids."

"What are you saying?! If they dare call you a bother, I’ll kick them out of the house!"

Today was cloudy, no sun in the sky, and now it was mid-afternoon. Old Master Xi and his wife lay on lounge chairs in the villa’s backyard, enjoying the cool breeze, smelling the delicate flowers, chatting leisurely, back and forth.

As for Jiang Hongfa, he went to chat with Grandpa Jiang.

The older kids like Ming Rui were all reading, the three little dumplings and Xi Chenyu were following their private tutor for lessons.

Everyone’s days were warm and peaceful, time flowed quietly.

"What kind of father are you? Besides, don’t you know exactly what our kids are like?"

Old Madam Xi rolled her eyes at Old Master Xi. She said, "It’s just that I feel like my health is such a burden, making you and the kids worry day in and day out, afraid something might happen to me. You don’t know—there were more than a few times I thought of ending it all, but I just couldn’t bear to leave you all..."

Gripping Old Madam Xi’s hand close to his side, Old Master Xi said, "Lucky you didn’t do anything foolish, or this old man would have mostly followed you."

Old couple, after weathering life’s storms, if his wife chose to end things because of her health, he definitely couldn’t take that blow.

"Yeah, lucky I didn’t take that step—otherwise, how would I know my health could ever improve."

Old Madam Xi smiled and said, "Every single child Kang Li raised turned out great."

Old Madam Xi suddenly changed the topic, but Old Master Xi didn’t look the slightest bit surprised. He kept it gentle, smiled: "Yeah, that girl knows how to raise kids, and is good at having them, too. The kids in the house are all full of spirit—they’ll all turn out to be pillars of the country one day."

Old Madam Xi: "If it weren’t for Kang Li and Guobang’s generation gap, I think Jingyu and little Vivi would make a perfect match!"

"If the kids really liked each other, generational ranks wouldn’t be a problem."

Old Master Xi paused at this, then went on: "Xiao Yu is really fond of Guo Guo."

"....."

Old Madam Xi was stunned, then came back and asked, "Don’t tell me you’re thinking about a child marriage?"
