Chapter 290: An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his arms
Commander Lu clicked his tongue and said, "You're different now than before. You have more to worry about and you're more respectful of other people's ideas."
Chief Lu saw the change in Gu Nan, from a naive and impulsive young man to a real man.
It's not that Gu Nan didn't respect other people's ideas before, it's just that he has his own way of doing things, and he will carry out what he believes is right to the end.
Now, Gu Nan is able to pay more attention to the thoughts of those around him.
It gives me a sense of greater security.
"It's normal to have attachments after getting married." This was because Chief Lu was sitting next to Old Master Bai.
So when Grandpa Bai was speaking, he directly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and punched Chief Lu.
Chief Lu felt like he was being retaliated against, just like when he was beating up the old man in the Bai family courtyard.
Forget it, I'm magnanimous and can't be bothered with that old guy.
At the dinner table, Su Niannian and Gu Nan both knew that the two old men had been traveling all the way and hadn't had a proper rest.
So I plan to let the two of them get some rest early.
Otherwise, I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle it.
Gu Nan brought out the ginseng wine mixed with spiritual spring water for the two elders to drink in order to help them regain some strength.
"Tired? What's so tiring about it? Back in my day..." When Grandpa Lu heard the young couple worrying about his tiredness, he quickly tried to reminisce about the old days, but was interrupted by Grandpa Bai.
"Why don't you go back and rest with Xiao Zhou and the others? I'll stay with my granddaughter for a couple of days. I can stay with the eldest son of the Gu family." Old Master Bai had his own reasons; he wanted to spend more time with Su Niannian.
After all, they had just reunited with their granddaughter and were reluctant to part with her.
“What are you thinking? Where is there a place for you to stay? Besides, if you stay, I'll stay too,” Chief Lu said.
He missed Gu Nan terribly; Gu Nan was the soldier he liked the most among all the soldiers he had led.
He became the regimental commander at a young age, and his physical strength and endurance were top-notch.
If that old man wanted to stay, I wouldn't want to leave either.
"Alright, let's go back then." Seeing Chief Lu's expression, Old Master Bai had no choice but to compromise.
If the two of them had stayed, Zhou Qishan probably wouldn't have dared to leave either, and there really wouldn't have been enough room for them here.
I'd better not cause any trouble for my granddaughter. Anyway, I'll be going back to Beijing in a few days, and once I get back there, I'll have plenty of time to spend with Su Niannian.
There's no rush.
Fortunately, the reunion went smoothly, and thankfully, I'm still in good health and can help Su Niannian take care of her child for a few more years.
Thinking it over, Old Master Bai didn't waste any more time and got up.
"Let's go! They've been working so hard, they can get some rest after we leave." Old Master Bai made a move to leave.
"Wait a moment, Zhou Qishan went to inform the village secretary but hasn't returned yet."
"What's the rush? I haven't finished my tea yet!"
Grandpa Lu didn't even budge an inch.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai sat down again.
At this moment, Gu Ningning took out some pastries that Su Niannian had bought earlier and placed them on the table for the two elders to eat.
"I can't eat, I can't eat a single bite."
The two old men had eaten their fill just now, but they couldn't eat anything more.
Grandpa Bai suddenly remembered the wine from the meal and called Su Niannian aside.
“Niannian, the water you gave me after the old man’s surgery, and the wine you gave me today, are both magical things.”
"It's best not to expose yourself to outsiders unless necessary."
"I believe you understand the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"
"If something too amazing is exposed to outsiders, it will cause you a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"Especially Beijing!" Old Master Bai lowered his voice and told Su Niannian what he was worried about.
From beginning to end, Old Master Bai never asked Su Niannian where this thing came from.
He wasn't curious about where such a precious thing came from; he just didn't want Su Niannian to encounter any danger.
As someone with status and influence in Beijing, Old Master Bai would spare no effort to use all his connections to help Su Niannian should she encounter any problems.
However, there are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people.
Su Niannian's magical sweet water has such amazing effects.
He was afraid that if something really happened, and someone coveted her, he wouldn't be able to protect Su Niannian.
Therefore, it's best to keep it a secret. Such a useful treasure should not be known to outsiders.
Su Niannian felt a warmth in her heart as she listened to her grandfather's words.
Before coming to Kaoshan Village, Su Niannian was always bullied at home, whether by Tao Chunhua, Li Junlang, or her two half-siblings.
None of them treated Su Niannian like a human being.
They wouldn't think of Su Niannian even a little bit.
Now, Su Niannian has married Gu Nan and is loved by the entire Gu family, and now she also has her maternal grandfather.
Su Niannian truly felt a warmth in her heart.
"it is good."
“Grandpa, I know everything you’re saying. The reason it was used on Chief Lu was because he was the person Gu Nan respected the most.”
"The reason I brought out this wine today is because I was worried that you two might not be able to handle the physical strain of your long journey."
“I’ve never used something like this in front of outsiders,” Su Niannian said with a smile.
Seeing and hearing that smile and those words made Old Master Bai feel at ease.
Her own granddaughter was worried about her. Although they hadn't officially recognized each other before, Su Niannian had never considered her an outsider.
Just thinking about it warmed Grandpa Bai's heart.
He just felt that his wife had passed away too early, if only she were still alive.
They will definitely like Su Niannian very much.
Who wouldn't like such a lovely girl?
Thinking of this, Old Master Bai's face suddenly turned cold.
Because Old Master Bai thought of Su Niannian's father, Wen Dazai!
What a scoundrel! He married a widow and is now smug about it, showing no remorse whatsoever for his daughter.
Such a scumbag! Old Master Bai must make sure he never has a good life!
Doesn't he have a formal job? Doesn't the second daughter-in-law also have a formal job?
I'll make you lose your jobs! I'll make sure you can't afford to live!
How dare they bully their own granddaughter? Do they really think they're just freeloaders?
Old Master Bai left in a hurry this time, and upon returning to Beijing, he immediately began making arrangements to ensure that those who had bullied Su Niannian paid a heavy price.
The Bai family are not people who can be bullied.
Su Niannian noticed the change in her grandfather's expression but had no idea what he was thinking.
However, Su Niannian knew that her grandfather loved her, even if his expression seemed a little...
