Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1158 - 768: Elder Wan’s Troubles

Thanks to the friends who sent mooncakes to Nuan.

--------------------

After lunch, Lin Mengran and Li Xinli sat idle for a while before heading back to school. Both of them lived on campus, and since the dorm wasn’t completely filled yet, going back to keep an eye on things was necessary.

Even though you shouldn’t assume the worst about people, in case something really happens, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble for everyone. It’s better to be careful from the start.

After a nap, Zhao Yulan made some fruit tea, and everyone gathered around to chat casually while sipping tea. Chuxia hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Master Wan, "Grandpa, is Sister-in-law Yin still at her parents’ home?"

"Yes, she’s still living at her parents’ house. I was actually planning to discuss with you about inviting her to help out, as she has some experience in caring for pregnant women and new mothers, unless Little Qin is also experienced in this area, then she can stay in City A, especially since no one is watching over the house there."

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe certainly hoped Sister-in-law Yin could come over, but all these arrangements were made by the Zhou family. The couple exchanged glances but said nothing.

"Dad, Mom, I will emphasize once more: this place is your home, wherever Chuxia and I are, you both can make decisions..." Zhou Mikang then turned his gaze to Old Master Wan, "Grandpa Wan, although you are Chuxia’s god-grandfather, in her heart, you are her real grandfather.

So, whether Sister-in-law Yin should come over depends mainly on your wishes. You should understand what I mean; I hope you make a sincere decision."

Chuxia looked at Zhou Mikang a bit perplexed, "Who are you trying to let decide here?"

"Why are you being silly? You live here with your grandpa and parents, who do you think should make the decision?" Zhou Mikang glared at her.

"Who should decide?" Chuxia reflexively repeated, suddenly realizing, "Oh right, this is Grandpa and Mom and Dad’s home, so of course, they can all make the decision.

But for this matter, it should be Grandpa who decides..." She looked at Old Master Wan, "Grandpa, my thoughts are the same as Zhou Mikang’s."

Because rumors had been rampant in the courtyard earlier, saying that Old Master Wan and Sister-in-law Yin were planning to team up and live together, and at the time, Old Master Wan did consider it, but then there was no news. She wasn’t sure what he truly thought now.

"Then let her come over..." Old Master Wan sighed, noticing everyone was a bit apprehensive about the topic, "There’s nothing unspeakable between me and Xiao Yin.

You all know, initially I was planning on living together with her. I’m not young anymore, and she’s not young either; her family was quite happy for the favor they owe her, but will they treat her well in the future, that’s uncertain.

Of course, living together with me, I’m uncertain if I could take care of her until old age, given I’m several years older than her. Originally, this was my concern, but then I thought, on the road to the Netherworld, age does not matter. If I keep fearing this or that, nothing will get done.

So, I talked to her about it then, and after considering, she agreed to my proposal, saying it would reduce idle chatter if it really happened.

Unexpectedly, before anything could be arranged, her family came over. You were all busy during that period, visited less often, and there were things I never told you.

Her elder brother, sister-in-law, younger brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces all came to stay because they heard about her intention to marry me, planning to live with us in the future.

Moreover, the implied meaning in their words was that, given my age, it would be advantageous for me to be with Xiao Yin, and I should take care of Xiao Yin, not the other way around.

They hoped I would transfer all my assets to Xiao Yin, then arrange jobs for her brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, and sister-in-law, and find good positions for the nephews and nieces.

They even made demands I couldn’t possibly accept, like asking me to notify the organization in advance that if I were to pass away early, the house should still allow Xiao Yin to live there.

When they made those demands, Xiao Yin kept trying to stop them, but it was to no avail. In their view, as her family, it was only natural to act this way. They even roped in Xiao Yin’s parents, claiming the elderly couple’s health was poor, didn’t want to move, and made them their full representatives. If the arrangements weren’t settled, it would be seen as unfilial.

Under such accusations, I truly didn’t have a retort. As a result, Xiao Yin proposed not marrying me and would continue as my caregiver, until the organization could provide her with a new job, and she would comply with their arrangements.
