Chapter 302: Chapter 189 Part_1

Yixiu asked Manhe again, "Uncle Manhe, what exactly happened to Grandpa?"

Qian Manhe, rubbing his hands, replied, "It’s, it’s Grandpa and Grandma, they didn’t want to let Third Uncle give away the shares of Dessert House to, to, to..." He was too embarrassed to go on and used his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

Yixiu had already guessed the reason, but hearing it spoken aloud still disturbed her deeply. Sobbing and with righteous indignation, she said, "How can you all be like this? Hasn’t Grandpa given enough to you all? Since his teenage years, Grandpa risked his life as an armed escort to earn money for the whole family to enjoy. Yet, when he fell ill and was on his deathbed, the family was divided, and he was driven here. Our family struggled on desperately, barely making it through, and even with one leg crippled, Grandpa still toiled and traveled tirelessly to build up this family estate. Grandpa is dividing his own possessions, and even my brother agreed, saying he is a man who will earn his own future with his bare hands. What right do you have to object? A good man does not live off his family’s property, and a good woman does not wear her wedding clothes forever. It has been so long since the family split, yet why do our family’s affairs still depend on your approval?"

These words left Qian Manchuan and Qian Manhe feeling deeply ashamed, their eyes reddening as they said, "Yixiu, you’ve misunderstood us. We don’t want to take what belongs to your family, honestly, we still have a sense of shame. We, we just feel that this is the Qian family’s foundation, and we cannot, cannot..."

"The Qian family’s foundation? Uncle Manchuan and Uncle Manhe, you misspeak. This is not the Qian family’s foundation, nor is it the Qian family’s ancestral property. Dessert House is something we built from scratch with our bare hands; it is our Qian family’s foundation. I am our family’s eldest son, and it’s up to Grandpa and me to manage our own property; it’s not for other clansmen to interfere," declared Qian Yeejin with an assertive tone, implicitly distancing himself from the first and second households.

At that moment, Old Doctor Lin was brought over by Li Jinhu. Everyone except for Lady Wu, Old man Cai, and Qian Siwu, who stayed in the bedroom, was chased into the living room.

Doctor Lin was busy with acupuncture and instructing others to boil and administer medicine, with several people bustling in and out. Yeejin, still young, could not resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on the couch. Though Yixiu had the heart of an adult, her body could not withstand it, and she eventually drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Suddenly, a cry from Lady Wu woke up the siblings; it turned out that Qian Sangui had regained consciousness.

Everyone hurried into the room, seeing Qian Sangui with his eyes slightly open, exhaling more than he was inhaling.

Old Doctor Lin shook his head at Lady Wu and the others, saying, "While he is still lucid, if you have something to say, say it now."

Were they asking Grandfather Sangui to say his last words? Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces were streaked with tears, but they dared not cry aloud, clustering around Qian Sangui and wiping away their tears.

Qian Sangui slowly looked around at everyone, and finally, his gaze settled on Yixiu. With a muffled voice, he said, "Auntie Xia has found a good family, Jinwa is a boy and still has prospects, but what will happen to Yixiu? When Grandpa dies, what will happen to Yixiu..."

Hearing this, Yixiu was even more heartbroken, and she grabbed Qian Sangui’s hand and burst into loud sobs, saying, "Then Grandpa shouldn’t die; if Grandpa dies, what will happen to Yixiu?"

Tears flowed from Qian Sangui’s clouded eyes, and he then turned his gaze to Yeejin, murmuring, "Yeejin, Yeejin," and stretched out his thin, bony hand. Yeejin quickly reached out to hold it, listening as he continued, "Yeejin, from now on, you’ll be the only man in our household. You must honor your grandmother and your mother, and take good care of your sister... In business matters, listen more to Qian Hua; in household affairs, heed Old Cai’s advice. Protect our people and safeguard the family business; give your sister more dowry when she marries off... My health has always been poor; my death is no one’s fault... You must respect Great-grandpa, especially honor Great-grandma, and maintain harmony with the relatives..."

Suddenly, Old woman Qian’s voice rang out. She and Old man Qian hadn’t slept well all night, and as dawn was breaking, with Manchuan not yet returned, they became frightened and quickly had Qian Dagui and Sister-in-law Lu assist them in coming over.

Crying, Old woman Qian said, "Third child, why can’t you see reason? Your mother isn’t scheming against your third household’s property; by guarding it for Jinwa, I’m guarding it for your whole third household. Since it displeases you, I won’t interfere anymore, never again. Just get well..."

Old man Qian, with tears streaming down, kept repeating, "Why are you so stubborn, why are you so stubborn, we’re all family, it was just talk, things could have been discussed..."

Seeing Old man Qian and Old woman Qian like this, Qian Sangui, with tears streaming, opened his mouth but could no longer speak. Yixiu felt as though the sky was collapsing and started wailing loudly, prompting everyone else to also cry out loud.
