Ping Ping was stunned for a moment after hearing what Ran Qi said, with an expression of disbelief on her face. She stared at Ran Qi with her eyes wide open, her heart filled with shock and confusion. She really couldn't understand why Ran Qi, who always regarded his grandson as a treasure, would suddenly say such heartless words.

Zhang Qiang, who was standing by, became agitated upon seeing this. He yelled at Ran Qi, "Mom! That's your grandson! How can you talk like that? You love him so much on weekdays, but now..." However, facing Zhang Qiang's questioning, Ran Qi had an indifferent expression and was not moved at all.

"Anyway, I don't have a penny. Getting married and having children are your own business. It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with your sister!" Ran Qi said firmly, his tone extremely firm.

No matter how hard Zhang Qiang and Ping Ping begged and how much they tried to persuade her, Ran Qi remained unmoved. She knew very well that the house had long been transferred to her daughter Zhang Wei. Legally speaking, it was Zhang Wei's property and no one could take it away. As for the money, she made it clear that she had no money.

In the end, Zhang Qiang and Ping Ping saw that their trickery was fruitless and could only leave in dismay. As they walked away, they complained indignantly about Ran Qi's ruthlessness, but they could do nothing about it. In this way, the farce ended with the two being kicked out of the house by Ran Qi.

Looking at Ran Qi, who was ignoring Zhang Qiang and only cared about supporting herself, Zhang Wei felt a strong emotion that could not be described in words surge in her heart.

The feeling of being so firmly cared for and loved by her mother was like a dream to her.

Because such a warm and beautiful scene once only existed in her distant dreams, but now it is actually happening before her eyes!

Looking at her dazed daughter, Ran Qi gently took her hand, led her into the house, and said with a smile: "Silly child, don't stand there in a daze, let's go in quickly, Mom, I'm going to prepare a rich and delicious meal for my precious daughter!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei came back to her senses and quickly responded, "Mom, please don't work too hard! Let me do it. I usually cook for you."

Indeed, Zhang Wei's life used to be nothing more than a straight line - going to work and taking care of household affairs. The task of cooking three meals a day at home basically fell on Zhang Wei's shoulders, and the original owner just ordered her around, not only treating her like a hardworking ox or a horse, but also refusing to give her even a moment to breathe and rest.

Therefore, when Zhang Wei heard Ran Qi offer to cook for herself, she was a little uncomfortable for a moment, and instinctively blurted out that she wanted to do it herself.

However, Ran Qi reached out to stop her and gently comforted her: "My dear daughter, just relax and have a good rest today. Mom hasn't cooked for you for many years. This time, let you taste my cooking skills. Don't worry, you will get used to it slowly." After that, Ran Qi patted Zhang Wei's shoulder gently and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Cooking was a small skill that Ran Qi had acquired after experiencing many small worlds. Although he had only mastered the basics, it was not a problem for him to prepare a meal for two people.

When Ran Qi walked into the kitchen and prepared to show off her skills, Zhang Wei would come over from time to time and ask, "Mom, do you need my help?" or simply say, "Mom, let me help you!"

However, every time Ran Qi would smile and decline, "No need, Mom can do it herself."

Because Ran Qi knew that this was just the beginning. She wanted to use this method to gradually make Zhang Wei adapt and get used to the love and care from her mother, so as to erase little by little the negative influence that the original owner had on Zhang Wei since childhood.

Those heartwarming scenes that she had never dared to imagine before now appeared so vividly before her eyes. Zhang Wei felt as if the air around her was filled with sweetness.

After the two of them had enjoyed a sumptuous lunch and took a short rest, Ran Qi suddenly recalled an important thing - Zhang Wei's academic performance in the past was quite outstanding!

What a pity, it was because the original owner only wanted Zhang Wei to enter the society as soon as possible to earn money to support the family, and forced her to drop out of school. Thinking of this, Ran Qi couldn't help feeling guilty, and secretly made up his mind to make up for this mistake, help Zhang Wei resume her studies, and pursue her bright future.

The fact that she was unable to go to college was like a thorn that pierced Zhang Wei's heart deeply, and became a regret that she could never erase.

Whenever she sees those students entering the university campus with their dreams in their hearts, an indescribable feeling of envy always wells up in her heart.

One day, her mother said to her softly, "Weiwei, why don't you take the college entrance examination? Mom can send you to an adult college." Hearing this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a hint of hesitation and confusion flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head and said slowly, "Mom, I've been working for so long, I've forgotten all that knowledge a long time ago. How can I learn it now? Let's just forget it..."

The mother looked at her daughter distressedly, her eyes gradually moistened: "My child, this is all my fault. I was not good before. You had such excellent grades, but I forced you to drop out of school. But fortunately, you are still young and have a chance to start over!"

Zhang Wei quickly raised her head, held her mother's hand tightly, and comforted her: "Mom, don't say that. I really don't blame you at all. This is not your fault alone. The family conditions were really difficult at the time. I know you had to make that decision. And even if I didn't go to college, I'm living a good life now."

However, although she said she didn't mind, Zhang Wei still had that unfulfilled dream of going to college in her heart.

Perhaps, this time her mother's suggestion will become a turning point in her life, giving her the courage to pursue the dream she once lost again...

But the current situation at home doesn't seem to allow this. She still has a mortgage at home and needs to work to pay it back. Ran Qi is just saying that she doesn't care about Zhang Qiang now, but maybe things will change one day. Zhang Wei still has all kinds of worries in her heart.

Ran Qi saw through Zhang Wei's thoughts and said, "Just go to school and take the college entrance examination. Mom can still work for a few more years and can still afford to support you."

"Mom, what kind of job can you do? Forget it."

In the past few years, the original owner worked as a cleaner, earning two thousand yuan a month, which was not enough to pay the mortgage, not to mention that they also had to live. If Zhang Wei was still in college, the expenses would be even higher, so Zhang Wei knew that the family's conditions did not allow it.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the money. Mom has saved some money without your knowledge over the years. It was all deducted from the money you gave me. Just spend it with peace of mind."

"I am just waiting for you to graduate from a good university and provide for my retirement."
