Anan pulled Fang Pan aside and said, "In our Huaxia, there's an old saying: 'The eldest grandson is the old lady's lifeline.' If that kid hides next to his Wa Wa Po, Brother Xu definitely won't take action. At most, he'll just scold him a bit. Brother Xu is such a filial man; he has to consider his Father-in-law and Mother-in-law's feelings."
Whether he considers me or not, I only know that Peter is about to get beaten.
Uncle Andong looked at Peter, who had just been dragged downstairs by Xu Li, and shook his head in dismay. "This kid is completely finished now."
Just as Anan parked the car, Lisa opened the door and hurried over, a bit scared as she stood in front of the father and son. "Uncle, please don't hit Peter, okay?"
At that moment, Peter was holding onto Old Father's right hand, which was pulling at his ear. His face was flushed with pain. "Dad, I promise I won't do it again! Please spare me this time!"
Xu Li released Peter's ear and replaced his stern expression with a gentle smile. He reached out to pat Lisa on the head. "It's because Lisa spoke up that I won't hit him this time. But from now on, Lisa, you need to keep an eye on Peter. Make sure he studies well and doesn't mess around all day. If he dares to ignore you, just call Uncle."
Lisa smiled sweetly at Xu Li and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! I'll make sure Peter studies hard from now on."
Xu Li gave her a playful poke on the nose and then opened his arms to hug Natasha and Dasha. He shook hands with Anan. "Sorry for making you all witness this."
"No problem at all," Anan quickly replied.
Natasha smiled warmly and invited them, "Andrei will be here soon too. Why not stay for dinner?"
"No, my wife is coming to Irkutsk as well; I need to take care of the kids," Xu Li said after thinking for a moment. "Tian Xing has Saturday off; Uncle Andong and Lisa can stay at my place for a couple of days."
"That sounds great!" Uncle Andong quickly hugged Peter, who was still rubbing his ear, and looked at Natasha. "Mom, I want to play with Peter."
"Will it be too much trouble for you?" Natasha asked somewhat shyly.
Xu Li waved his hand dismissively. "No trouble at all! I already bought groceries today; the two kids can come with me. You all should come over too; it’s been a long time since we gathered."
"Mom!" Uncle Andong looked eagerly at Natasha while Lisa fiddled with her fingers. After thinking for a moment, Natasha nodded. "Okay, I'll go prepare some clothes for them."
"We have everything at home," Xu Li said as he opened the car door for the three kids to get in. He then shook hands with Anan. "Tian, no need to hold back."
"Alright, Brother Xu," Anan replied with a cheerful nod. Xu Li started the car and waved goodbye to the three as they left the community. Natasha watched the car disappear into the distance, lost in thought when Anan suddenly slapped his forehead. "Oh no! How did I not think of this?"
Natasha and Dasha looked at Anan in confusion as he grinned widely. "Brother Xu is our City Police Department's guy; he must know some people! We can ask him if there are any properties available for collateral; then we can buy one at a low price!"
"But we've already paid the next month's rent," Natasha said reluctantly.
Anan replied, "Let's talk to the landlord about it. We can agree to a one-month rent deduction as compensation. They will definitely agree. Once we find a suitable place, if you and your husband are short on money, I can help cover it for now. You can pay me back when you have the funds."
Dasha chimed in, "Exactly, sister! You and your husband are paying so much in rent, and in the end, you don't even have a place of your own. It would be better to just bite the bullet and buy a place. You both could even try becoming influencers. With me and Anan helping to draw in traffic, you'll quickly gather a following, and then you'll have money!"
