Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Yuan Yindi’s Plan
Earlier, Yuan Yindi heard from Wei Wushang that Yuan Bao had a fever yesterday due to worries and emotional distress. Then, he specifically went to seek out Doctor Li to learn more details from him.
According to Doctor Li, Yuan Bao is very smart and precocious. She understands more than most children, and while adults may not notice something amiss, Yuan Bao would sense it.
In Doctor Li’s words, Yuan Bao is too precocious, and if it isn’t managed, she might end up with the outcome of "excessive wisdom leading to harm".
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Yindi didn’t want Yuan Bao to follow him back to Beishan Village.
After all, returning to Beishan Village would mean facing her biological parents for Yuan Bao.
"I’m not unwilling!"
Hearing Yuan Yindi’s words, Yuan Bao smiled slightly, "Little Uncle, don’t overthink it, I am doing well now!"
Although her biological parents abandoned her, she is not a pitiful child no one wants.
She still has her grandfather, grandmother, and her adopted father, Little Uncle. In the near future, she might even have another mother. Besides, she also has godparents, a sister, and three brothers.
Her life is clearly getting better.
Accordingly, her mood will only get better and better.
Like a phrase that is ringing in her mind, "Today you ignore me, tomorrow you’ll be out of my league!"
Yuan Yindi stared at Yuan Bao for quite a while before finally looking away, roughly believing in Yuan Bao’s words.
...
Yuan Bao soon returned to Beishan Village with Yuan Yindi, while Jiang Er did not come back with them but stayed at the Wei Mansion in Yunyang City.
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng burst into tears seeing their beloved granddaughter return.
Of course, Old Yuan didn’t sob as dramatically as Mrs. Zeng, whose words were choked with sobs.
"Grandma, I’m sorry!"
"I shouldn’t have run away from home!"
Seeing Mrs. Zeng’s tears, Yuan Bao felt quite regretful, too.
She only thought of getting away from Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li, forgetting there were still people at home who genuinely cherished her.
Fortunately, she came back soon.
"Dad, Mom, I plan to go to the Recruitment Hall in the Capital and put myself forward!"
Once Yuan Bao and Mrs. Zeng calmed down, Yuan Yindi slowly began to explain his future plans.
In fact, as early as the day he went hunting in the mountains with his eldest brother and fourth brother, Yuan Yindi had such a plan. At the time, his idea was to wait until after the New Year, when spring had begun, and everything at home was well arranged.
But now, Yuan Yindi felt there was no need to wait.
"I have no objection!"
Old Yuan nodded slightly after hearing Yuan Yindi’s words, "You’ve always had a good sense of judgment since you were little, knowing what should and shouldn’t be done."
"Just handle it according to your thoughts!"
"As for me, your mother, and Jiaojiao, you don’t need to worry about us!"
"Your dad is not so old that he can’t move!"
To allow his son to focus on his career, Old Yuan decided to continue supporting the family.
"Dad, Mom, I’ve found a house through a friend in Yunyang City. How about we move to the city tomorrow?"
Since the family is already divided, everyone should develop in their way!
"Move to the city?"
Hearing his youngest son’s words, Old Yuan’s expression changed, "Xiao Wu, your second and third brothers are both in the army. If we all move to the city, what will happen to your second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law’s fields?"
Raising a child for a hundred years involves worrying for ninety-nine; this is the truest depiction of reality.
Hearing his father’s words, Yuan Yindi took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I was thinking, we could ask second and third sisters-in-law if they would be willing to stay in the village to farm."
