“Niu Niu is in the countryside right now. The brigade leader there is a good person and takes good care of her. Besides, I'm here too. Why did you come all this way and take this risk? You ran off with Xiao Wu all by yourself. How dare you be so bold?”

Zhu Dadao curled his lip, slumped his shoulders, and complained pitifully, "Before, when we were in Beijing, I could still find opportunities to see my darling from time to time. But since she was sent to Shanghai two years ago, I haven't been able to see her at all."

Those old geezers in the compound are always bragging to me about how well-behaved and adorable their granddaughters are. Bah! Who can compare to my granddaughter, Zhu Dadao? My granddaughter has been formidable since she was little; she could take on a whole bunch of their granddaughters by herself.

They always laugh at our Zhu family for having too many men and too few women. What utter nonsense! Who said I don't have a granddaughter? My little darling is the best in the world!

Yu Guosheng sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

Here we go again!

He'd been hearing this same old story for over a decade. There was nothing he could do; Old Zhu didn't dare go to the Bai family, so he could only complain to Bai, the only in-law who knew about the relationship between the two families.

Therefore, he really was the only victim.

"I heard that my little darling is all better, is that right? Is it really true? Otherwise, the Wei family wouldn't have secretly sent her to the countryside."

Three months ago, we agreed to secretly send him to the port city, and I had everything arranged in secret. Then they told me they'd sent him here to the countryside instead. When I asked, I found out my precious child's brain had cleared up. Is it really true?

"Yes, yes, it's true. I've seen her. Niu Niu speaks very clearly now, and she's very smart. Well... maybe not, but her temper is definitely something..."

Yu Guosheng suddenly remembered the girl he had met in the county town last time, and the string of nonsense she had spouted. He looked at Zhu Dadao with a sense of pity.

He used to be away from Kyoto often for work and didn't have many opportunities to see the girl, but he kept in touch with his sister-in-law and brother-in-law through letters, and he would secretly hide a picture of the girl in each one from time to time.

However, ever since things started to get chaotic, in order to protect the little girl's safety, their communications never included her photos again, and he hadn't had the chance to see the child for many years.

So much so that he didn't recognize her when he saw her in the county last time. At the time, he just thought the little girl was quite interesting. Her talkative manner was very similar to his wife's, and her adventurous spirit was very similar to his sister-in-law's.

At the time, I felt that this little girl and their Niu Niu would get along well, so I teased the girl to call me grandpa.

It wasn't until he ran into Fang's son that evening that he learned that the wicked girl was actually his sister-in-law's precious daughter, Niu Niu. In that case, the girl really had to call him maternal grandfather, albeit as great-aunt's grandfather.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm asking you a question. How's my little darling doing? Take me to check on her secretly, okay? I'm already here, aren't I? I'll just take a quick look and go back if the child's alright." Old Zhu felt that Old Yu's gaze was strange and had a feeling that something bad was going on.

Yu Guosheng slightly curled the corners of his mouth!

You're still being good, I'll come see you again.

Did you know that your little darling told me, "Her dad was climbing over a widow's wall, and her grandpa broke his leg"?

Yu Guoqing felt that he should be kinder to his old friends; one should still have a conscience.

"It's nothing. Let's see how things go tomorrow. I'll go get you and Xiao Wu something to eat first. Get some rest tonight and we'll talk about it later."

"Alright then, you must take me to see the brigade where I obediently went to the countryside first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to see it from afar, otherwise I'll keep worrying. I didn't agree to send them to Shanghai in the first place. What kind of bastards are those old Mas? If it weren't for my wife stopping me, I would have shot them all."

When the Ma family was mentioned, Yu Guosheng sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. The people who are watching my sister and brother-in-law are not easy to deal with. The old man from the Ma family was the most suitable candidate. Who would have thought he would pass away so quickly? Fortunately, the little girl hasn't suffered any grievances in the past two years."

"You can't even get enough to eat, and you call that not being wronged!" Zhu Dadao gets angry just thinking about this, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

"Then the Ma family didn't get enough to eat either. Niu Niu isn't the type to swallow her anger. She smashed countless pots and pans in the Ma family. In those two years, the Ma family's eldest son and son-in-law were stuffed with sacks countless times."

Moreover, every time Niu Niu got lost while out, someone would secretly take her back, and nothing serious happened. In the end, none of them got anything good. Otherwise, do you think they could have been sentenced so quickly? Yu Guosheng tried to persuade him as he walked towards the kitchen, afraid that the old man's stubbornness would come out again.

"Tch, in the end, it was me who secretly put in the effort. You intellectuals can't compare to me in this respect."
