Chapter 278 - Fight Death (1/2)
It was already lunchtime when the entire family gathered together. The little ones were out playing by the ponds, while the elders continue to chat with each other leaving the women to work in the kitchen.
”Lizzy, do you want me to cook the fish now?”
”Should we prepare some wrap as well?”
”Weiwei, should I put some rice cake out?”
Liu Yifie was puzzled and did not know what to do. Everyone seems to be working well with each other that she didn't know where to place herself and felt useless.
”Sis Yifie, can you help Grandma Kuo and Auntie Kuo with the spring rolls,” Elizabeth asked, noticing the girl was just standing by the door like a Buddha.
”Sure.”
Liu Yifie went over and help the two Kuo ladies out as she converses with them at the same time. It surprised Liu Yifie to find out she was working with such an elite family. She now realizes when Elizabeth said the family does not really care about status was true. She found out that everyone is where they are now since they work hard. Also, the fact that the family works hard to help each other as long as you're willing to achieve what you want.
”Ah, Shaoli the one making the dessert is actually studying abroad, so she just arrived today. She's studying Art since she loves painting.” Elder Madam Kuo said.
”That's Weiru, she's currently studying in the same university as you and Lizzy.” Madam Kuo added.
”She is?”
”Ah- did I forgot to mention that to you. Most of our relatives are studying at the university except for those who wish to study abroad.” Elizabeth added as she overheard their conversation.
”I studied at the university too before I moved abroad,” Shaoli said, hearing her name being mentioned earlier.
”You did?” Liu Yifie was surprised.
”Sis Shaoli is older than you Sis Yifie, she already 29 and Bro Zheng is her husband. They only return to the country during holidays since Sis Shaoli is busy with her studies and Bro Zheng is working in the company abroad to be with her.”
”So that's why you insisted for me to study at the university.” Liu Yifie looked at Elizabeth who was checking all the different food.
”Yup, since it's kind of a tradition that the family study in the university,” Elizabeth answered her after tasting the sauces.
”Oh-”
”Don't worry child, the family is very traditional, but we won't hold you back if you have other plans. Just like Shaoli and Lizzy... They do what they want and the family will just support you.” Elder Madam Kuo grabs hold of Liu Yifie's hand to assure her.
”Since you're a traditional family, does that mean Grandpa Zhao is the current head of the family?”
Liu Yifie was dumbfounded when she notices everyone in the kitchen laughing.
Lady Zhao then approached her and patted the girl in the head. ”When you mean head, meaning making all the decisions for the family, then it's everyone. We are indeed traditional family, but we don't think about such matter and status.”
”If we do does that mean Grandpa Xian will be the head then. Isn't he older than Grandpa Zhao?”
”But Isn't Grandpa Kuo a few months older thought?”
”I always thought if we have a head I'll be you, Auntie Weiwei.”
Everyone then started discussing which surprised Liu Yifie. They really don't care about status and all.
Lady Zhao chuckled as everyone continued to discuss such a trivial matter, ”Well, if I was to say... I think Rob could be the family head for all the family.”
Everyone agreed with what Lady Zhao suggested. Since most elders respect him so much for what he has done for the family especially for the Xian when they have business problems.
”True, but isn't Uncle afraid of Lizzy?”
They all chuckled, thinking that the man only has one weakness and it's his daughter.
”Well, from what Xinyi explained to me. Lizzy is to inherit all of the Zhao as well.”
”That's true.”
”Now I think about it, it's possible Lizzy could be the head.”
”Wow, I'm the head.” Elizabeth beams such delight just thinking about it even though it does not matter to her.
”Haha, silly child.”
”Oh, darling, why do you always act so silly.”
