Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 536 - 525: Instructions

"They’re such nags, constantly telling me what I can’t do. When I was the boss in Kyoto, they didn’t even know where they stood, and now they’re controlling me. I can’t suppress the rage inside me." Mr. Lin grumbled.

"Exactly, they even forbid me from drinking. I’m miserable." Mr. Qin nodded in agreement.

"I wanted to eat some cake, and they got me sugar-free ones. I might as well eat plain rice, at least it has a hint of sweetness when I chew." Mrs. Feng chipped in.

The elderly men and women complained about the restrictions their family had placed on their actions, diet and drinks. Thinking about Xia Yue’s treatment of Mr. and Mrs. Xia, they felt even more resentful of their own kin.

"If you stay here for a while, you can eat or drink as you please. As long as I don’t overdo it, Xia Yue doesn’t bother me."

"I used to be like you back at home, but now I am liberated." Mr. Xia sympathetically glanced at his friends before bragging.

"Really? But aren’t you already a patient of the three high?" Mr. Han asked, his eyes sparkling with interest.

"Didn’t I just mention that I’m healed? Seems like you’re getting old and senile." Mr. Xia replied irritably, repeating himself.

"Then let’s stay here till the New Year and then go back. I’ll notify our families now, let them know they needn’t worry about us." Mr. Han said, taking out his phone.

"Yes, yes, yes. I was planning to stay for a week or half a month, but I changed my mind. We should tell the younger generation, so they don’t disrupt our mood by coming to look for us." Mr. Qin nodded, taking out his phone too.

Mr. Lin, Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Mu also chimed in and notified their families. If their families found them, they’d have to go back with them.

Soon, phones were ringing all over the courtyard. These older folks, their hearing often impaired, had their phone volumes set high.

The saying goes, three women make a drama, but here, we had not just three women, but three old men too. Quite a clamor indeed.

The younger family members on the other end of the phone, having previously learned where their grandparents were through Xia Yu, had been afraid to call them earlier. They anxiously waited until their grandparents felt ready to call back.

Now that they received messages saying their elders wouldn’t return home until New Year’s, they thronged to the phone, seeking to hash things out.

Once they learned their seniors were living well, with Mr. and Mrs. Xia enjoying a three-high-free life, the younger generation realized they could afford to be relaxed. They thought of their elders’ break as an extended vacation, which seemed quite pleasant.

After the phone calls, they worried about their grandparents’ wellbeing and wanted someone to care for them. They turned to Xia Yue but didn’t have her contact info. All they could do was reach out to Xia Yu again and tell him to communicate their offer of support. They said they would send money and just wanted their grandparents to have fun.

Xia Yu didn’t refuse, promising to pass the message to Xia Yue and said he’d get back to them about the money.

After hanging up, Xia Yu contacted Xia Yue and relayed the families’ messages.

Xia Yue said she understood and asked Xia Yu to tell them she’d take good care of the grandparents. As for the money, not much would be needed, so there was no need for it.
