Chapter 185 Yu Family's Adopted Son

On this old, run-down street, Yu Guosheng sat leisurely on a chair by the door, sipping tea and waiting for the little girl to come over. From a distance, he could see the little girl riding a bicycle with a large package on the back.

"Why are you still waiting outside?" Bai Nuo pushed her bicycle into the yard.

“It’s nothing serious, Xiaoling can cook by herself.” The old man followed behind his granddaughter with his hands behind his back, looking at the large package on the back of the women’s bicycle, and shook his head helplessly, “What did you bring this time? Be careful not to tip the bicycle over again.”

"No, they're just some cotton clothes and quilts, not heavy at all. You can arrange these things yourself. See who around you needs them, and we'll send them over in the winter." Bai Nuo parked her bicycle by the courtyard wall. She had suspected before that the old man had exiled her all the way to this small county town, and guessed that some old friend of his was being sent down here. These things would be just right for those people.

At this moment, a seventeen-year-old boy walked out of the kitchen. The boy had a baby face and looked very well-behaved. He smiled and nodded when he saw Bai Nuo.

Bai Nuo smiled at the boy, her eyes showing genuine kindness. After all, according to her maternal uncle's side of the family, this boy should be considered her maternal cousin.

This is also her maternal great-uncle's adopted son. He is young, but his generation is older than hers!

This child was also picked up by his maternal great-uncle. When he was picked up, he had a high fever. According to the doctor, the child should have been able to speak before, but the fever was too high and the treatment was not timely, so his vocal cords were damaged.

Actually, Yu Xuling's hearing was also damaged earlier. Whenever Yu Guosheng or Pingnan had time, they would take him to various hospitals for treatment. His ears were cured, but his throat could not be cured no matter what they did. Everyone said that his vocal cords were completely damaged.

When Yu Guosheng found him, the child was simple-minded and didn't even know his own name, so Yu Guosheng named him Yu Xuling, which means lucky.

He was lucky to survive and to be found by Yu Guosheng. I hope he will be lucky for the rest of his life and that no more sorrow or suffering will befall him.

"Grandpa, it's inconvenient for you to go anywhere else right now. How about I take my little cousin to the hospital in the city tomorrow for another check-up?" Bai Nuo said to Yu Guosheng as she unloaded the things from her bicycle.

Bai Nuo didn't have much contact with Ping Nan when she was young, but she had a pretty good relationship with Yu Xuling. However, when she went to the black market for the first time, she only saw Ping Nan and not Yu Xuling. Otherwise, she would have been able to guess Yu Guosheng's identity on the spot.

Actually, it's not her fault. When she was young, her mind was sometimes sharp and sometimes dull. Yu Guosheng wasn't home often, and back then, he was a handsome man in his thirties. Now, he looks like an old man, and he even deliberately smears his face with dirt. Who would recognize him?

As for Pingnan, he was more than ten years older than her and had joined the army at a young age. He used to be quite fair-skinned, but now he not only has a scar on his face, but also looks like a ruthless bandit. Bai Nuo felt that it was not her fault that she did not recognize him.

Besides, neither of them recognized her, so it's even, and neither of them should blame the other!

But Yu Xuling was different. When he was little, he looked like a doll, fair and clean. Because of his poor health, he often stayed at the Bai family's house when he went to Beijing for medical treatment. He was one of Bai Nuo's playmates when he was little, but he was taken away by her great-uncle after only two years.

However, both Pingnan and Yu Xuling were genuinely filial to their maternal grandfather. One of them quit the army without hesitation and gave up her future to follow her maternal grandfather here.

One of them refused to stay in Beijing and live a good life with the Yu family. He even dropped out of school and secretly followed them here. No matter how much they were beaten or scolded, he just wouldn't leave.

That's right, Yu Xuling secretly ran away here last year. Luckily, the kid knew to get his high school diploma in advance, otherwise his great-uncle would have been furious.

The Yu family had already found a way for him to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but the boy was stubborn and left a note, then secretly ran away to find Yu Guosheng.

In fact, Yu Guosheng was also supposed to be demoted, but the evidence was too outrageous, and many old friends protected him. However, the old man had always been willful since childhood, so he refused to return to the research institute and came to this small county to work as a gatekeeper at a scrap metal recycling station.

Bai Nuo always felt that all of this was deliberately orchestrated by her great-uncle, including the initial demotion.

Her maternal grandmother once said that her great-uncle was rebellious by nature and full of cunning. When he took the first step, he had probably already calculated the next hundred steps.

Yu Guosheng actually wanted to continue treating Yu Xuling. He had already made arrangements when he left Beijing, but the renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor he had secretly invited was framed by his apprentice and sent to the south.

In those years, the political situation became increasingly turbulent, and the Yu family dared not continue to seek out traditional Chinese medicine doctors. They only thought about waiting for their child to finish university first.

But this brat! He sneaked over without saying a word, he's just like that bastard Pingnan, stubborn and incorrigible!

"Clang clang clang!" Upon hearing Bai Nuo's words, Yu Xuling hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, gently tapped the table a few times to make Bai Nuo look at him, and then gestured wildly at Bai Nuo.

Bai Nuo's lips twitched slightly, and she turned her head away from him: "Don't try to reason with me, I don't understand!"

Yu Xuling: {You clearly understand this. I taught you when you were little, I remember!}

Bai Nuo looked at Xu Xuling again and said confidently, "I was stupid when I was little. You're teaching a stupid person sign language and expecting them to learn it? Don't you think that's absurd!"
