Chapter 874: Chapter 721: They’re About to Rebel! (First Update)

Ten years later

Yi Luowa had just come home from work when Sangyu came "flying" in, smiling, "Mom~ I’ve received the master’s-doctorate admission letter from the Saint-Cyr Academy! I’m going to study in the place where you and Dad lived."

Yi Luowa’s head buzzed loudly.

Sangyu waved the admission letter in her hand, tilting her head to look at her expressionless mom, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

Yi Luowa bit her lower lip, muttering, "It’s nothing!"

Sangyu kissed her mom’s cheek with a smile, "Mom, I’m going to tell Grandpa the good news."

Yi Luowa held onto her daughter, who was a head taller than her, "Don’t be so dramatic, you’ll scare Grandpa and Grandma."

"Mom— I received the master’s-doctorate admission letter from the University of Political Science and Law in France. I’m going to study in the place where you and Dad lived!"

Just as Yi Luowa was holding her daughter, her eldest son ran in.

"Brother, you got accepted too!" Sangyu smiled, snatching the admission letter from her brother’s hand.

"Didn’t we agree to go to the place where Mom lived together?" Zi Yan took back the admission letter from his sister and smiled, "You’ve done well! Saint-Cyr Academy is much harder to get into than my school."

"Absolutely!" Sangyu puffed out her little chest proudly.

Yi Luowa glanced at her, "Just keep showing off! Look at you, less and less like a girl!"

Sangyu hugged her mom’s shoulders, laughing, "Mom, after I graduate, I’ll grow my hair long, and then I’ll look like a girl."

Yi Luowa frowned, "Don’t talk, my head is still buzzing! You two will be gone for four years, and I don’t have the time to visit you. Are you trying to make me miss you to death? Other people’s kids go to college at eighteen, but you guys are going off to start master’s at eighteen. Don’t you feel tired?"

Sangyu laughed, hugging her mother’s shoulders, "Not tired at all, you saw it, we’re learning while playing."

Yi Luowa poked her forehead hard, "A girl, yet choosing this career..."

"It’s me continuing my father’s profession, no wait, my dad is no longer in the military, now I’m following my mother’s career!" As Sangyu saw her mom raising her hand to hit her again, she jumped aside, "Grandpa, save me!"

"You silly girl, only know how to complain!" Yi Luowa snorted coldly, turning her head to look at her son, but all she saw was his chest, which made her angry, so she reached out to tug his ear, "You, why are you so tall! Every time I talk to you, I have to look up!"

Zi Yan guarded his ear, yelling, "Mom, don’t you look up to everyone in our family, why do you always pinch my ear!"

"Because you’re silly!" Zi Xi walked in laughing, "Mom..."

Yi Luowa suddenly raised her hand and covered his mouth, "Don’t tell me, you’ve also applied to go to France."

Zi Xi mumbled, and Yi Luowa saw nothing in his hands, so she let go.

"You brat, after school, why not go to your grandparents’ place, what are you doing here!"

"My grandma told me last night that she and grandpa miss the two sisters but can’t bear to leave me. She also said the best solution is for me to go to Haotian to pursue a master’s, so she can see all three of us."

Yi Luowa squinted her eyes slightly, storming out the door.

Zi Yan and Zi Xi hurriedly chased her out, "Mom, where are you going?"

"I’m going to have a talk with your grandma!"

Zi Xi’s mouth twitched hard, "Mom, don’t go, my grandma already guessed you’d go find her, she went back to Haotian with grandpa at noon."

Yi Luowa curled her lip, "Ran away?"

"Yup, ran away!"

Yi Luowa came back, grabbing her youngest son’s collar, "What do you think about this?"

Zi Xi laughed, "I have no opinion, I’ll listen to you."

"Good for you, I’m saying you’re not allowed to go to Haotian! You skipped grades, catching up with your brother and sister’s study pace, now they’re going abroad for studies, you can’t go, there’s nowhere else where you can study a master’s or doctorate."

Zi Xi nodded repeatedly, "I’ll tell grandma your exact words later."

Yi Luowa shouted, "Can you use your brain! Won’t you say something flexible! If you tell them as it is, your grandpa and grandma will scold me to death!"

Zi Xi leaned on her shoulder, smiling, "Mom, don’t worry, I won’t sell you out, I’ll just say I don’t want to go."

Yi Luowa snorted, "Good for you!"

Zi Yan shook his head helplessly, Mom was probably tricked by Zi Xi again.

Yi Luowa stomped into the hall, "These past years, our family hasn’t been together for more than half the year. If you leave, we’ll have even less time together. I can’t live like this!"

Zi Yan and Zi Xi followed behind their mom, mimicking her words silently. Yi Luowa seemed to sense their mocking and quickly turned to look at them.

Zi Yan said seriously, "Ahem... Zi Xi, mom and dad love you the most. After your sister and I leave, take good care of them at home, okay?"

Zi Xi nodded vigorously, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of mom and dad."

Yi Luowa rolled her eyes at the two of them, "You just talk nicely!"

"Wifey, you’re spot on, these three little rascals just talk sweetly with no real action!" Tong Airui laughed as he walked in from outside.

Yi Luowa gave him a glance, "These three little rascals take after you, the old rascal!"

Tong Airui looked at her innocently, "Wifey, did I upset you again?"

"If it weren’t for you, the two older ones would at least be with me for four more years. But now, they’re flying off early."

Tong Airui chuckled as he walked over, "Let the three of them bugger off, I’ll stay home with you."

"You might as well follow the three of them and bugger off too."

"Rui’er doesn’t need to bugger off; your father and I will bugger off with the big ones." Tong Yao laughed as she came down the stairs.

Yi Luowa was startled, "Mom!"

"Your dad said wherever Sanyu goes, we follow. I have to listen to that old thing!" Tong Yao laughed, "The three kids are promising; we should be happy! Don’t worry, next time there’s a business trip to F country, you and Rui’er can go. That way, you can see them often."

Yi Luowa pouted.

Tong Yao shook her head helplessly, "Don’t be mad, the kids are doing well. Tomorrow, we all pay respects to your great-grandfather, grandparents, and grandparents-in-law."

Tong Airui’s eyes darkened slightly. If the elders were still alive to see the success of the two kids, how happy they’d be. Unfortunately, the elders passed away one after another last year—thinking back, that year was full of darkness at home.

The first to go was grandpa at the age of ninety-six. As soon as grandpa closed his eyes, grandma followed by holding his hand. Mom said that’s real love—they don’t ask for the same-year, same-month, same-day birth; just same-year, same-month, same-day death.

Right after grandpa and grandma passed, the great-uncle and great-aunt followed too. Dad said it’s because grandpa had no one to play chess with on the other side, so he took grandpa away.

Four elders passed in a short time. The younger granduncle also fell seriously ill. If it weren’t for Lao Qi and Shanshan’s careful care, the younger granduncle might have gone too. Tong Airui looked at his mother with lingering fears, and sure enough, her eyes turned red.

"Mom." Yi Luowa held Tong Yao’s arm, "Don’t think too much, let me help you sit for a while."

Tong Yao patted her hand, "Mom’s fine, mom doesn’t miss them, not one bit! They all lived to over ninety, it’s worth it. According to Z country’s saying, it’s called a happy funeral."

As she spoke, tears fell from Tong Yao’s eyes.

Tong Airui sniffed and used a tissue to wipe his mother’s face, "Mom, look on the bright side. You still have the younger granduncle and grandaunt."

"Yes, going with Zi Yan and Sanyu this time, I’m most worried about those two."

"Okay, old lady, stop crying. From now on, I’ll come back with you every month to visit them." Long Che came down the stairs holding his granddaughter’s hand, "Who bullied my granddaughter just now?"

Yi Luowa saw her father’s gaze fall on her and quickly hid behind Tong Airui.

Tong Airui smiled helplessly, "Dad, what are you doing! Look, you’re scaring Luowa."

Long Che glared at his son, "If she didn’t bully my granddaughter, would I scare her?"

Sanyu smiled smugly.

Yi Luowa stepped out from behind Tong Airui and pointed at her daughter, "You little brat, just you wait!"

Tong Yao laughed and patted her hand, "With your father here, can you really handle Sanyu? Later, I’ll find a way to get your father out of here, and we’ll deal with that naughty girl together. She’s been acting up these days, and she’s always telling your father everything about me."

Sanyu pouted, looking up at her grandfather, "Grandpa, grandma and mom both bully me."

"With grandpa here, let’s see who dares!" Long Che stood beside Tong Yao, holding his granddaughter’s hand, "Just try touching her!"

Tong Yao pouted, "Why should I listen to you? I won’t touch her!"

"Mom, you’re amazing." Yi Luowa smiled cheerfully at her mother-in-law and took advantage of her daughter’s distraction to give her a little pat on the butt.

Sanyu was just about to complain to her grandpa when Ning Mingxi’s cry came from outside, "It’s a revolt! Yaoyao, our Pengpeng wants to revolt!"

"How many times have I told you, at seventy-something, why do you still call me Yaoyao?" Tong Yao turned to the door, "What did Pengpeng do this time?"
