Xu Qinghe didn't explicitly refuse Xu Zhong, he merely expressed that he needed to consider it a bit more. Having just separated the family, to return would seem like a three-year-old child playing house.
On the way back, Xu Nianhua was silent the whole time.
"Nianhua, do you also not want to go back to the Xu Family?" Xu Qinghe looked at the much quieter Xu Nianhua and asked, "Why did you come?"
"Dad, I..." If I hadn't come, who knows how your kindness would have been wasted!
Yet, looking into Xu Qinghe's eyes, Xu Nianhua found herself unable to utter another word.
Xu Qinghe was honest and trustworthy, truly a good-natured person, but he was also genuinely affectionate towards his children. Moreover, ever since he was young, within the Xu Family, he was like the Xu Family's permanent laborer. Before he got married, all the heavy, bitter, and tiring labor was done by Xu Qinghe.
