Scumbag God, I can see the entry of desire.

Chapter 1325: The MVP Settlement Time for the Eldest Grandson of the Lin Family

"Father, where is the Empress Dowager? I want to go and pay my respects to her," Xiao Haotian asked with bright, sparkling eyes, eager to see his grandmother.

Lin Lang gently stroked Xiao Haotian's face and said tenderly, "Your grandmother is cooking delicious food for you in the kitchen. In modern times, you should call your grandmother 'Grandma,' not 'Empress Dowager,' or it will frighten her."

"Oh," Xiao Haotian replied.

Lin Zhiyi pouted and said in a soft voice, "Father, I want to see Grandma now, I can't wait!"

Lin Lang lowered his head and gently pinched the tip of Xiao Zhiyi's nose, saying affectionately, "Yi'er can't wait any longer, then Father will take you to find Grandma now."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Li Moli appeared in the lobby on the first floor, arm in arm with Shen Cuiping.

Shen Cuiping said loudly with a smile, "I heard that my eldest daughter-in-law has returned with her eldest grandson and granddaughter, is that right? Where are they?"

Everyone turned around at the sound.

More than twenty daughters-in-law immediately called her "Mom," each one more affectionate and sweeter than the last.

A whole bunch of grandchildren rushed toward Shen Cuiping, looking up and calling her "Grandma" from all sides.

The cacophony of baby voices mingled together, making it even more lively than a kindergarten.

Shen Cuiping was overjoyed to see a group of grandchildren rushing over, all opening their little arms for a hug. She couldn't stop smiling and didn't know which one to hug first.

"Oh my, Grandma's little darlings, all of you little ones rushing over at once, like a flock of baby sparrows chirping for food, are you all hungry?"

Xiao Haoran shouted in his childish voice, "Yes!"

Little Zhiruo giggled and said, "We want to eat the delicious food that Grandma cooks herself!"

Xiao Haoyi hugged Shen Cuiping's leg and said, "Grandma, my tummy is growling with hunger!"

Xiao Zhixi retorted, not to be outdone, "Grandma, my tummy is also starving."

Xiao Haoxian looked up at Shen Cuiping with his little face, stuffed a piece of milk candy into his grandmother's hand, and said obediently, "Grandma, have some candy."

"Haoxian is such a good grandson!" Shen Cuiping affectionately patted little Haoxian's cute head.

While the other children were still chattering away, Lin Lang stepped forward and said loudly, "Little darlings, come over here to Daddy so that Brother Tian'er and Sister Yi'er can meet Grandma."

Upon hearing this, the children rushed back to Lin Lang's side, and the concubines also made way for him.

Shen Cuiping followed everyone's gaze and immediately spotted Chu Yiren in ancient costume.

At that moment, she was completely stunned.

Chu Yiren was dressed in a phoenix robe and wore a phoenix crown. She was dignified, elegant, and exuded a noble air. Shen Cuiping had never seen such a person in real life.

She was like an empress who stepped out of an ancient painting, stunning everyone at first glance.

"Oh my, this must be Yiren's daughter-in-law?" Shen Cuiping murmured unconsciously.

Holding her two children's hands, Chu Yiren slowly walked to Shen Cuiping, respectfully performed a curtsy, and spoke in a gentle and soft voice.

"Mom, I am Chu Yiren, Lin Lang's legal wife. I greet you."

Shen Cuiping then came to her senses and quickly stepped forward to support Chu Yiren, unable to stop smiling.

"Oh my! Get up, get up! My beautiful daughter-in-law is such a wonderful surprise!"

She looked at Chu Yiren, becoming more and more satisfied: "Yiren, your daughter-in-law's stunning beauty, coupled with her gentle temperament, is truly outstanding!"

"She looks just like an empress who stepped out of an ancient painting!"

"My Lin Lang is so lucky to have married you!"

Chu Yiren replied with a smile, "Mom, you flatter me."

Then, she turned to her two children beside her and said softly, "Tian'er, Yi'er, quickly kowtow to your grandmother to pay your respects."

Lin Haotian and Lin Zhiyi immediately stepped forward. Both of them were dressed in ancient costumes and looked dignified and well-behaved.

They knelt respectfully before Shen Cuiping at the same time.

"Grandson Lin Haotian greets his grandmother."

"Granddaughter Lin Zhiyi greets her grandmother."

The two children's voices were clear and in unison.

Shen Cuiping quickly squatted down and helped them up, her face full of affection: "Oh, my dear grandson and granddaughter! Get up, get up!"

She looked at the two little ones dressed in ancient costumes. It was their first time meeting, and she liked them very much. She couldn't help but touch Lin Haotian's little face and Lin Zhiyi's little hand.

"Oh my, these are my eldest grandson and granddaughter? You two are so adorable! Grandma loves you more and more every time she looks at you!"

As Shen Cuiping spoke, she laughed, her eyes filled with undisguised doting affection: "Tian'er is so energetic, and Yi'er is so beautiful. You two are truly Grandma's precious treasures!"

Shen Cuiping's heart melted as she looked at the two adorable little ones.

She first gently cupped Xiao Haotian's little face and kissed his soft cheek.

He then turned to Xiao Zhiyi and placed a gentle kiss on her rosy cheek, murmuring softly to herself.

"My precious grandson and granddaughter, the more I look at them, the more my heart aches for them."

Xiao Haotian and Xiao Zhiyi were a little flustered by this sudden intimacy. Their big eyes stared curiously at the unfamiliar yet affectionate grandmother in front of them, their little hands unconsciously clutching the hem of their clothes, unsure of how to react.

Xiao Haotian pursed his lips, wanting to get close to his grandmother, but not being familiar with Shen Cuiping, so he couldn't warm up to her for a while.

Xiao Zhiyi timidly moved closer to Chu Yiren.

Seeing this, Chu Yiren said softly with a smile, "Tian'er, Yi'er, Grandma loves you so much, shouldn't you give Grandma a kiss too?"

The two little ones looked at each other, as if they understood something.

Xiao Zhiyi mustered her courage, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed Shen Cuiping on her left cheek, sweetly calling out, "Grandma."

Not to be outdone, Xiao Haotian gave Shen Cuiping a quick kiss on the other cheek and called out in his childish voice, "Grandma!"

Shen Cuiping beamed with joy at the two kisses. She first kissed Xiao Zhiyi on the cheek, then picked up Lin Haotian and held him tightly in her arms, kissing him on the cheek again and again.

She kept exclaiming, "Oh, my eldest grandson! He's truly the apple of my eye!"

"Look at this adorable little face, she's just like your dad when he was a kid, so cute!"

Shen Cuiping's favoritism towards her eldest grandson was so obvious that she couldn't hide it at all, and she didn't even bother to pretend anymore.

There is a type of grandson called the eldest grandson of the legitimate wife.

This traditional affection that elders have for their eldest grandson is ingrained and difficult to change.

Many people don't understand why the eldest grandson often holds a higher position than other grandsons in the hearts of grandparents.

Moreover, this "high" status is not due to favoritism, but rather a result of a combination of culture, emotions, and family structure.

In traditional thinking, the eldest grandson is the "legitimate continuation of the family line."

The eldest grandson is not only the continuation of the family name, but also a symbol of family heritage, the main trunk of the family bloodline, and the "root" of the family's future!

Therefore, when the elderly see their eldest grandson, they feel a great sense of satisfaction, as if "my family has a successor."

Another reason is the doting on the eldest grandson, which is a projection of the emotions towards the eldest son.

Generally speaking, parents tend to be more involved and concerned about their eldest sons and daughters.

Of course, there are also quite a few families in modern society that favor the younger son.

However, elderly people who favor their younger son usually don't have a good outcome, because doing so will affect the relationship between the two sons.

Often, the more an elderly person favors their youngest son, the more useless the youngest son tends to be, and he may not even be able to support his parents in their old age.

She wanted to move back to her eldest son's house to live out her retirement, but her eldest daughter-in-law was unwilling.

Therefore, our ancestors were wise. It was perfectly reasonable for them to love their eldest son and grandson with their eyes closed. We must trust their choices; they were not wrong.

Of course, it would be good if everyone could be treated equally.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable for the eldest son to contribute the most to the family and do the most work, only to have resources ultimately allocated to the younger son, or even for the younger son to inherit the majority of the family property.

Those who know, know. Going against tradition can easily backfire in the Xia Kingdom.

The eldest grandson is often the eldest son's first son.

Therefore, the grandparents' love for their eldest grandson is actually an extension of their love for their eldest son to their eldest son's eldest son.

The eldest son inherits the family business.

The eldest grandson inherits everything from the eldest son.

Therefore, the elderly will subconsciously pay more attention to their eldest grandson, and may even regard him as the "future family heir".

The older one gets, the more one desires for family stability and prosperity.

The eldest grandson symbolizes that the family line will not end, that there is someone to rely on in the future, and that someone will inherit what one has worked hard for all one's life.

Therefore, this preference for the eldest grandson was very common in the Xia Kingdom and was a very real mainstream ideology.

Just like now, when Shen Cuiping met her eldest grandson Lin Haotian for the first time, the shock, joy, and heartfelt affection she felt were irreplaceable by any of her other grandsons.

To put it more bluntly, for Shen Cuiping, she wasn't just holding her eldest grandson in her arms, but the future of the entire Lin family!

This kind of impact is something no other grandson could provide.

Shen Cuiping held Xiao Haotian in her arms with great affection, her eyes reddening as she looked at her eldest grandson with eyes full of love, feeling as if something had struck her heart hard.

This is the eldest grandson of the Lin family!

He is the eldest son of her son Lin Lang, the root of the Lin family's future, and the hope of the Lin clan's future!

She couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Haotian's little face, her heart aching, and she said with tears in her eyes: "How wonderful it would be if his grandfather could live to see the birth of his eldest grandson!"

Shen Cuiping hugged Xiao Haotian tightly, kissing him repeatedly on the face, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing this scene, Lin Lang's eyes reddened, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Haotian tensed up in his grandmother's arms.

He reached out his soft little hand and clumsily cupped Shen Cuiping's cheek, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. His little brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he soothed her with a tearful yet exceptionally sensible voice, "Grandma, don't cry!"

His voice still carried the softness of a child, yet every word was clear: "Every year during the Qingming Festival, my father would take my mother and me to the mausoleum to pay respects to my grandparents."

"Grandpa is watching from heaven. He must have seen his grandson a long time ago. He knows that his grandson burned paper money and ingots for him."

His little hands gently wiped away Shen Cuiping's tears again and again, his movements so tender that he was afraid of hurting his grandmother.

Tears welled up in Xiao Haotian's eyes, but he held them back and said tenderly, "Grandma, don't cry, Grandma, be good, don't cry!"

Hearing this, Shen Cuiping felt both bittersweet and warm inside. Her tears fell even harder, but she smiled with her eyes crinkling.

She hugged Xiao Haotian tightly, kissing her grandson's little face again and again, her voice choked with emotion but filled with relief: "My precious eldest grandson, you are so sensible."

She raised her hand, took Xiao Haotian's little hand, pressed it against her cheek, sniffed, and smiled through her tears, "Okay, Grandma won't cry, Grandma will listen to Tian'er."

"Grandma is overjoyed to have such a filial eldest grandson."

"Hehe..." Xiao Haotian hugged Shen Cuiping's neck tightly, snuggling in his grandmother's arms.

Who can understand the mutual emotions between the grandfather and grandson at this moment?

Seeing this, even the tough-guy Lin Lang, with his tender heart, couldn't hold back his tears. He turned away and secretly wiped them away.

Only a true man understands the meaning of blood ties and family lineage, and he will not accept any rebuttal.

The value of the saying "Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring" continues to rise.
