It’s just a pity that the old man hadn’t gotten his fill of watching the show when Bai Jing, who rushed over upon hearing the news, invited the three main actors into the house.
Just when it was getting exciting, they weren’t allowed to watch, which made Wu Liguo a bit unhappy.
He pondered whether to add a little more spice when he got back, so they could continue like dogs biting dogs, creating a big mess.
Not only did it greatly enrich the entertainment life of the courtyard’s residents, but it also made the Dai family dizzy and unable to attend to other matters. His niece Shuzhen and the little apprentice Lian En, and his dear grandson would be safe and sound, right?
Hmm, Wu Liguo nodded, feeling more convinced that his line of thinking was incredibly correct.
After hastily finishing his business, he rushed back home. Without even changing his clothes, he hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed the number he knew by heart.
To ease his longing, he went as far as rewarding the Liu Family Village production team for their outstanding contribution to earthquake relief with the excuse of connecting two phone calls, racking his brains for solutions.
But when he heard Liu Wu and little Wu Liu on the other end of the phone calling him grandpa, his heart melted like honey.
Hmm, it was worth the trouble. The convenience of having his daughter’s family phone anytime to talk to his grandchildren was simply too handy.
"Hello, is this grandpa? Do you miss Wu Liu and me? Haha, Mom is feeding the baby brother, and Dad is making dinner for the family. Oh, grandpa, you have something to say to Dad? Okay, hold on, I’ll call him!" Little Liu Wu, while covering the mouthpiece with his hand, shouted, "Dad, Dad, come quickly, grandpa’s on the phone. He says it’s important and must talk to you!"
Having just finished stir-frying and in the midst of scrubbing the pan, Liu Shouren put down his brush and rushed into the house with quick steps.
He hastily took the receiver from his son, respectfully saying, "Dad, is there something you need from me?"
In the past, just this sentence alone would have been enough for the old man to scold him for half an hour without repetition. What’s with this question? Is it necessary for him to have a reason to talk to this busy man?
This clueless, disrespectful kid, it would be best to bring him to Beijing, so he could properly educate him under his watchful eye for a few years before being at ease!
Ahem, anyway, he had grievances to bring up, and even if there weren’t any, he’d create some to bring them up. All of it was for the premise of bringing their family to Beijing so the old man could enjoy the good life of playing with his grandsons once again.
But having just watched an annual drama and eager to share his laughs and achievements, Wu Liguo naturally skipped his usual behavior of picking fights with his dimwitted son-in-law.
Without being harshly rebuked as he started speaking, Liu Shouren was already a bit pleasantly surprised, and even more so at what came next?
"Is this true, Dad? The Bai family has already fallen, and Dai Weiguo, who was planning to gain promotion by stepping on his father-in-law, ended up being outsmarted? Haha, that’s wonderful! Yes, Dad, your move was brilliant. They should bite into each other like dogs. It would be best if they both end up severely weakened, so no one can cause further trouble in the future!" With the Bai family toppled and pieces like Bai Xuan becoming enemies, Liu Shouren felt there wasn’t any better news.
It would be best if Bai Xuan and her son were strong, stronger, and even stronger. Make Dai Zha end in disgrace and strip off that deceitful facade!
The rare harmony between the father-in-law and son-in-law led to a gratifying discussion on how to more satisfyingly and directly vanquish the scum.
Meanwhile, this brother, being quite the sister-protector, sincerely thanked his father-in-law for avenging his little sister with such dedication.
Wu Liguo straightforwardly cut him off by saying it wasn’t out of consideration for him, rendering Liu Shouren speechless.
Feeding the baby while smilingly listening to the conversation between the father and son, Wu Yinghong furrowed her brow: Dai Weiguo, why does that name sound so familiar?
Knowing her sister-in-law encountered a scoundrel, she wasn’t aware of the full name, planning to ask for basic details. But before she could, the eldest son, having his fill, suddenly urinated on her desire to dig into the gossip.
After a hasty meal, the excited Liu Shouren thought about sharing this good news with his little sister.
No matter what, telling her that good ultimately triumphs over evil could lift her spirits.
Oh my, having waited all these years, finally, that scoundrel has fallen on misfortune!
Though the scoundrel still held a cadre position at the moment, with the Bai family’s desperate mother and son couple and his father-in-law’s masterful push, Liu Shouren believed that Dai Weiguo’s future would be increasingly miserable.
Witnessing the scoundrel’s downfall would be his greatest satisfaction.
Riding his bike with excitement, he saw his little sister sitting like an empress on the sofa, with his brother-in-law Lianshan, in a flower apron, wiping and tidying the table. Lian En cautiously placed a glass of boiled water on the coffee table before her, while the twin siblings took turns patting her back and legs, occasionally asking, "Mom, is the strength okay?"
Even little Xinyue and Lian Xi were fighting to feed her with their chubby hands full of dried fruit and cookies.
This star-like adoration scene left Liu Shouren stunned: "Sister, what’s happened to you?"
Before Shuzhen could answer, her face flushed, Chenchen replied eagerly, "I know, Uncle, Mommy is going to give us a baby brother! By this time next year, I’ll have another brother!"
"That’s wrong, Mommy is obviously going to give us a sister, a sister just as cute as me and Xinyue!" Xinzhi pouted: "Stinky Chenchen, you already have two brothers, but I only have one sister. This time when Mommy gives birth, it definitely has to be a pretty little sister; it’s my turn!"
In reality, Shuzhen merely missed her period by a few days and had a bout of dry heaving, but hadn’t even conceived. She was assumed to be pregnant, leaving her helpless.
No one listened to her explanation, and due to her age, she was forced to enjoy queen-level treatment because of the increasing risks. Her heart was weary.
She only hoped the delayed good visitor would hurry and rescue her from this dire straits!
Having no suspicion of a mix-up, Liu Shouren hurriedly closed his mouth, shifting from sharing the gratifying news of the scoundrel’s downfall to offering blessings and advice.
As having children becomes riskier with age, his little sister, after all, is already in her thirties!
She must be cautious and well-cared for.
As for that scoundrel from the Dai family?
Already forgotten far in the back of the mind! What good would it do to mention him and ruin the mood?
