Yuan Si looked at her mother, who had recovered in an instant. She couldn't shake the feeling that she'd been played.
"Oh, you have no idea! Your big brother's eldest son is so sturdy and adorable," the old madam exclaimed, then paid it no more mind. She walked back to the table, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating again. "Your brother and his wife might not be anything special, but the son they had doesn't take after them. He's a true Old Li Family member."
The old madam had just finished two bites of meat when a boy barged in, looking like a little blockhead.
"Grandma, you're eating again?" As soon as the boy rushed in, his eyes locked onto the meat on the table. With a HOWL, he lunged for it. "Ah! There's meat!"
Yuan Si saw how recklessly he was charging straight toward her mother. Worried he'd crash into the old woman, she shot out an arm and snatched the boy up by the collar.
