Chapter 59: Identification of Relatives (1)
Regarding Chen Meng’er’s question…, Elder Liu could not help but sigh and said, “Little girl, you still don’t know, right? My wife left early and did not have any children or grandchildren. Originally, I did not think that there was anything wrong with me. However, when I see a little girl like you, I can’t help but think, if only I had such a cute and smart granddaughter like you.” Elder Liu paused for a moment; he asked, “Meng’er, how is it? Are you willing to be Grandpa Liu’s granddaughter?”
Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu. Elder Liu’s suggestion was really a little unexpected to Chen Meng’er. Originally, she just wanted to use an ancient medical book to repay Elder Liu. However, she didn’t expect Elder Liu to propose this suggestion. She did not answer immediately. Instead, her mind was spinning rapidly as she weighed the pros and cons of becoming Elder Liu’s god-granddaughter.
Chen Meng’er weighed it for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing bad about acknowledging Elder Liu as her god-grandfather. Chen Meng’er blinked her eyes and looked at Elder Liu, she replied, “Grandfather Liu, I don’t have any objections. I acknowledge you as my god-grandfather because I have an extra grandfather who dotes on me and a teacher who can teach me Chinese medical knowledge. However, this recognition of godparents doesn’t seem to be something that a little girl like me can just agree to. Therefore, Grandpa Liu, you should tell my parents about this matter. I’ll listen to them.”
When Elder Liu heard Chen Meng’er say this, he didn’t even notice it himself. His heart that was in his mouth finally relaxed. Elder Liu smiled and said to Chen Meng’er, “You little girl, you’re a little devil. I’ve never seen a child as shrewd as you.” The doting tone in Elder Liu’s words appeared unconsciously. “Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. I will go and tell your parents about this matter now.”
Elder Liu had always been an impatient person. Now that he had obtained the ancient medical book, the next thing he needed to do was to recognize his adopted god-granddaughter. Since he had such thoughts, he thought of quickly recognizing Chen Meng’er as his granddaughter and bringing her home.
As Elder Liu spoke, he took the ancient medical book and turned around to leave the room of Chen Meng’er and her siblings. He walked straight to the kitchen.
“Sir.” The driver saw Elder Liu coming out and immediately asked respectfully, “Sir, have you finished your business?” After all, they still had to rush back to the city from Chen village today. Seeing that it was getting late, the driver saw Elder Liu and asked respectfully.
“Yes, I’ve finished one thing. There’s still a very important thing I haven’t done yet.” As he said that, Elder Liu turned around and walked into the kitchen. After Elder Liu entered the house, Chen Meng’er slowly strolled out of her own room.
“Elder Liu.” Chen Ping and Liu Juan, who were discussing what to do with the 500,000 yuan in the house, subconsciously stood up from the stool when they saw Elder Liu walk in. Their movements also became cautious.
As for Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan, they were not any better. They were still lively just now. When their parents were talking, they were rambling on and on. They were very lively. However, when Elder Liu came in, their little mouths were tightly pursed. Their faces also became nervous.
Elder Liu saw the expressions on Chen Ping, Liu Juan, Chen Haoguo, and Chen Haoxuan’s faces after they came in. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart and said secretly, “It seems that only Meng’er is not afraid of me when she sees me. Others are still the same.”
Elder Liu was even more determined to acknowledge Chen Meng’er as his god-granddaughter. “Yes. Take a seat. Don’t be nervous. I have something that I want to get your approval for.” Elder Liu sat down on another bench in the room..
