His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1421: Chapter 401: Family Education Is Very Important (Part 1)

Although Qin Mu and Mu Yichen both knew that Mu Qingxin and Jiang Yan would take Zifeng away the next day, the elders only found out during dinner.

”Leaving tomorrow? If Jiang Yan has urgent work, so be it, but what urgent work do you have to go back immediately? I don’t agree.”

Feng Fanghua immediately refused.

Grandpa frowned. Even though he wanted his granddaughter to stay a few more days, since she was married, it was impossible to keep her at home forever. Yet, he also didn’t want to quarrel with his daughter-in-law, so he said nothing.

Mu Zihao didn’t say a word. If he spoke, his wife, who cherished their daughter immensely, would surely accuse him of not caring for their child.

As for Mu Yichen and Qin Mu, they truly dared not express any opinions.

The children listened intently but remained silent.

These days, the three siblings had been quite argumentative, but this time, they were all quiet. Even the youngest, Chengcheng, was reluctant for Zifeng brother to leave.

Huanhuan even used a spoon to serve meat into Zifeng’s bowl.

Listening to the elders talk, Zifeng felt a bit downhearted but immediately spoke up when he saw Huanhuan serving him: ”Thank you!”

The thanks were soft and filled with reluctance. Zifeng had been staying here for so long, he didn’t want to leave. Grandma’s house was his home too, and he really enjoyed his aunt accompanying him to sleep. Aunt told stories with a certain creativity.

But uncle...

Uncle accidentally lifted his eyes and saw Zifeng looking at him, unconsciously meeting Zifeng’s gaze. Despite his reflex to stare straight, his expression softened somewhat. However, Zifeng quickly lowered his head, feeling a bit unhappy.

Mu Yichen felt he wasn’t very welcome and couldn’t help but frown.

The elders watched the interaction among the children with a tinge of heartache.

Mu Qingxin lowered her head: ”I just want to return with Ayan!”

The statement was low and dejected. She didn’t dare confront her mother directly and resorted to this manner.

Jiang Yan had been afraid to speak. Naturally, he wanted to bring his wife and child back, but as there were no elders left in the Jiang Family, he was particularly respectful to the Mu Family elders.

”You...”

Feng Fanghua looked at her daughter, wanting to scold her for lacking independence but seeing her daughter sitting beside her son-in-law, she finally held her tongue due to his upbringing.

”Well, let it be. You can go back, but come back often!”

Seeing that his wife stopped talking, Mu Zihao finally spoke up.

Feng Fanghua glanced at him as if saying: A worthless consolation, why didn’t you say something earlier?

Mu Zihao understood her and lowered his head again. However, he was always lightly smiling, never arguing with Feng Fanghua.

After dinner, Jiang Yan was pulled to the amusement park by Zifeng.

Indeed, once school and activities were over, children would become closest with their parents again.

Mu Qingxin was left in the living room by Feng Fanghua, sitting next to Grandpa, arms wrapped around his arm, resting on his shoulder as though she’d found a pillar of support.

Seeing her daughter’s demeanor, Feng Fanghua didn’t rebuke her harshly but said: ”Can’t you stay home a few more days? We’ve longed for your return, and now, before speaking a word, you’re leaving again. No wonder they say a married daughter is like water thrown out.”

”Wasn’t some water poured into the basin too?”

Mu Qingxin dared not argue loudly, only whispered softly, and ensured to mention Qin Mu, who sat awkwardly nearby without saying anything.

Qin Mu had just lifted her tea intending to drink when she heard Mu Qingxin speaking. She raised her gaze slightly, still holding the tea but dared not sip.

”Oh! So, you’re saying now that Huanhuan’s mom is here, you’re no longer part of our family?”

Feng Fanghua unhappily asked her.

”How could I say that? Grandpa! Look at mom! She’s going to frighten me to death!”

Mu Qingxin lowered her forehead against Grandpa’s shoulder, pitifully complaining.

Who’s really scared? Actually, it’s Qin Mu who’s truly scared to death. Qin Mu felt utterly inappropriate sitting there and quietly put down her teacup, wanting to get up.

”What kind of talk is that? A granddaughter-in-law is a granddaughter-in-law, and the granddaughter is a granddaughter. I cherish both, but cherishing them doesn’t mean binding them sparingly! They’re all with their own families!”

Grandpa couldn’t help but speak for his granddaughter, watching Qin Mu’s pale face with some concern.

”Well, I’ll go check on the children!”

Now, both Mu Yichen and Jiang Yan were at the amusement park, and she thought it better to head over, feeling like an outsider here.
