Aunt Li cutting off the opportunity for Shitou to interact with his sister would harm the child and may affect his mental growth.
Although she didn’t want to interfere in other people’s family affairs, Lu Jueyu couldn’t stand by and didn’t help. After thinking for a while, he said, "Shitou, don’t cry. Aunt Li will have a talk with your grandma."
When Shitou heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Aunt Li, can you tell my grandma not to be angry with my sister and let her come back? I miss her."
"Aunt Li can’t promise you, but I will try my best to persuade your grandma. At least, let her allow you to play with your sister," Lu Jueyu rubbed his head gently.
Although this was not what he wanted, Shitou nodded. Even if he couldn’t live with his sister, as long as he could play with her, he would be satisfied. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Thank you, Aunt Li."
Lu Jueyu handed the two peaches to him and asked, "These peaches are for Shitou. While Aunt Li is talking to your grandma, can Shitou wait here?"
"Okay."
After making sure Shitou stopped crying, Lu Jueyu walked to the backyard. When she got there, she saw Aunt Li grinding wheat to make flour.
Seeing her coming, Aunt Li smiled and said, "Jueyu, why are you here today?"
Lu Jueyu sat down next to Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, I saw Shitou crying. That’s why I came over to see how he was doing."
Hearing this, Aunt Li was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for your concern, but he will be fine. Children are like this. After crying, they will forget unhappy things."
After a moment of silence, Lu Jueyu finally said, "Aunt Li, I’m sorry to interfere with your family affairs. But I think it’s too much to prevent Shitou from interacting with her sister. Even if Li Shu is not your biological granddaughter, you have watched her grow up."
"What’s more, she has been the one who took care of Shitou since he was born. For him, Li Shu’s place in his heart is irreplaceable. If you forbid him from seeing his sister, you will hurt him."
After listening to her words, the smile on Aunt Li’s face slowly disappeared as she said, "Jueyu, I know you feel sorry for Shitou and Li Shu. But this is my family’s business, and everything I do is for Shitou. Since they are not brother and sister, he shouldn’t rely too much on her."
"Aunt Li, are you worried that Li Shu will mislead Shitou because of her hatred for Chen Lina?" Lu Jueyu asked bluntly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Li looked at her with a frown and said, "So what if that’s the reason? Even if she says she doesn’t hate us, who knows what she is thinking?"
