Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Cover Your Ears When They Get Cold Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Cover Your Ears When They Get Cold Tian Leran covered Little Taotie’s ears so she couldn’t hear.

Little Taotie blinked her eyes, full of curiosity, her baby voice soft, “Grandma Fensi, why cover my ears?”

Tian Leran noticed they had stopped talking, so she released Little Taotie’s small ears and said affectionately, “Your ears were cold, I was warming them up for you.”

Little Taotie touched her ears, puzzled, “They aren’t cold!”

“I warmed them up, now they aren’t cold anymore.”

“I see…” Little Taotie sneakily glanced at the can of oranges on the shelf, still slightly reluctant to leave them.

Tian Leran took Little Taotie’s hand and smiled, “We have already apologized, and the gifts have been delivered, let’s go home, darling.”

Before Little Taotie left the hospital room, she glanced at a little boy. He stared at her with eager eyes but dared not speak recklessly anymore.

Tao Mo stood in the room with a stern face, his cold gaze sweeping towards the brat who drooled over his beloved granddaughter’s cuteness.

The little boy moved closer to his grandmother, afraid to look at the fierce eccentric old man.

Tao Mo lowered his eyes and repeatedly told himself not to bother with the brat, managing to hold back and not raise his lion-headed cane to strike someone.

Tao Mo started, “I have already paid all the medical bills and even settled the hospital charges until his discharge.”

Tao Mo took out a card and handed it over, “This is a card without a password. It contains compensation. Use it to buy some bones to make soup for the boy to help him recover.”

Old Lady Hu thought for a moment and accepted it.

She figured the money for the bones wouldn’t amount to much.

“Little Taotie has already apologized, and I have compensated. Let’s minimize the big problems and even smaller issues. Little Taotie will continue to live in the village. I hope our families will not seek revenge or trouble each other in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Hu nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, that’s right, let’s minimize the troubles! I hope Strength God won’t trouble my grandson!”

Tao Mo replied indifferently, “As long as your grandson doesn’t provoke my beloved granddaughter–she’s so well-behaved, she will never trouble your grandson!”

“I will definitely keep him in line!” Old Lady Hu promised.

Before leaving the hospital room, Tao Mo turned and said coldly, “Also, regarding the issue of dating or not, I hope your grandson doesn’t spout nonsense in front of my beloved granddaughter! She’s still young, don’t pollute her ears!”

Old Lady Hu nodded awkwardly.

After Tao Mo left, Old Lady Hu grabbed her grandson’s ear and scolded, “You little brat, don’t you dare speak out of turn again. Isn’t it embarrassing?”

“I didn’t speak out of turn. It’s all what my little aunt taught me!”

“Oh, you little brat, are you inciting me to go home and scold your little aunt?”

“I didn’t do that!”

“Keep it together in the hospital. If you cause any more trouble, see if I don’t spank you hard!”

The little boy nodded reluctantly, “Got it. Remember to cook the bone soup for me, and add lots of black fungus. I like it.”

Old Lady Hu glared fiercely at him but still dashed off to buy bones, soaked the black fungus, and prepared to make soup for her grandson.

Old Man Hu, wearing presbyopia glasses, looked at the accounts, then glanced at his spendthrift wife, sighing, “This year’s harvest wasn’t great. Last month, our grandson broke the Chen Family’s window and we had to compensate. Now he’s hospitalized, and we didn’t let them compensate us. The medical bills and hospital costs are a significant expense.”

Old Lady Hu glanced at him, “That family is a reasonable one. Their family elders have already apologized at the hospital, paid the medical expenses, and the hospitalization fees upfront, and even gave me a card to buy bone soup to help our child recover.”

Old Man Hu’s eyes brightened as he rubbed his hands, “Where’s the card? How much money is in it?”
