"Does this need to be said?"

Lin Jingyu looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "Have you forgotten your grandfather's identity?"

"What's the meaning?"

Zhang Wenxi was a little confused.

His eyes were blank, unable to find the key question. "Wasn't Grandpa a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who used to travel as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort)?"

"yes."

Lin Jingyu nodded frankly, "Just from this, you can tell how amazing Grandpa is. Isn't it normal for Grandpa to be able to hide a batch of grain?"

"this……"

Zhang Wenxi was completely bewildered and asked, puzzled, "What does hiding grain have to do with Grandpa being a bodyguard?"

"Damn it, this kid is too stupid."

Grandpa Zhang rubbed his forehead. "Looks like he's been lacking exercise. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know he'd been sold off, and he'd be helping the seller count the money. That would be a real problem."

"Grandpa, why are you saying that to me?"

Zhang Wenxi was displeased. "If I don't know, I just don't know. How am I stupid?"

"Grandpa, you can't say that."

Lin Jingyu said, "Wenxi is a little silly, but not stupid. She'll learn from her mistakes in the future."

"Cousin, can you please stop hurting me?"

Zhang Wenxi said with a bitter face, "Tell me what happened. Even if you sentence me to death, you should at least let me know why."

“It’s very simple.”

Lin Jingyu raised her eyebrows. "Because Grandpa is a cunning and shrewd old fox. He has traveled all over the country for most of his life and has seen through the ways of the world."

Now that things are in such a mess, think about it yourself. With your grandfather's cunning and scheming, would he really have let you live such a miserable life?

Even if it's really that bad, it's all an act, a deliberate attempt to bluff.

"This...like this?"

Zhang Wenxi was completely stunned.

"No, it's not like that, it's like that."

Lin Yuyu gave him a wink.

He gestured for him to look at Old Master Zhang, "See? The old fox's tail is about to swell up. Don't you think so?"

"Our little Yu'er is so smart."

Old Zhang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Then he slapped Zhang Wenxi on the back of the head, saying, "You brat, use your brain! Did a dog eat your IQ?"

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

After being hit by the "Iron Sand Palm," Zhang Wenxi couldn't help but yell, "I didn't expect that, but who told us to live a life of half-starvation for the past few years?"

"Hmph, it's not just our family, everyone lives like this."

Zhang Laosi sneered, "If people found out that we always look like we're well-fed and drunk, do you think our whole family could have survived until now?"

Don't you think about how many families in the city have been broken up and people have died because of carelessness?

You should know that there are still people watching our family. If problems are discovered, no one can protect us.

So what if we're a little hungry? At least no one will die.

Do you seek a moment's full meal, or a lifetime of peace?

"I see."

Zhang Wenxi is neither very old nor very young.

After his father reminded him, he finally realized the problem he had previously overlooked.

Looking at her cousin, who was two or three years older than her, she said with admiration, "Cousin, you're amazing! You can think of all these things."

"It's not that I'm good at it."

Lin Jingyu shook her head. "It's because I believe in my grandfather's experience of surviving in chaotic times. Wenxi, you just didn't think of this, but you're not unaware of it."

"I just don't understand."

Zhang Wenxi frankly admitted, "I used to only look at the surface of things, but now I realize that some things need to be experienced firsthand."

"Indeed."

Lin Jingyu smiled slightly, "I believe Wenxi, you will become more and more amazing in the future."

Listening to the conversation between the siblings, both Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Lao Si smiled with delight.

After Zhang Wenxi took a bath.

Wang Hongliang has moved into Su Jingtian's house.

Lin Jingyu brought her maternal grandfather and fourth cousin to his home.

"Not bad, not bad."

Grandpa Zhang looked it over inside and out, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. "It's quite impressive that such a courtyard could be built in a rural village."

"Grandpa, our family now has three spots for educated youth sent to the countryside."

Lin Jingyu suggested, "We can apply for a larger site for building the house, and build more rooms. That way, family members can come to visit. What do you think?"

Haha~

Grandpa Zhang laughed, "My little Yu'er is so smart. Grandpa did have this idea. It seems that we, grandpa and granddaughter, are of the same mind."

The Zhang family is not short of money, so they naturally want to make proper arrangements.

Just then, the village chief came over to measure the land.

Old Master Zhang and Zhang Lao Si went to help.

Lin Jingyu quickly took out all the prepared quilts, pillows, and sheets.

She was busy.

Zhang Laosan and Su Jingtian, along with their men, moved the two beds back.

I was busy for an entire afternoon.

evening.

Everyone sat down to rest.

"Grandpa, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle."

Lin Jingyu asked directly, "Will you be eating at my place from now on, or will you be cooking here?"

"Cook for yourself."

Grandpa Zhang made the decision, saying, "He's not a cripple, what kind of behavior is it for him to be waited on by you all day long?"

"What's with all this talk about serving others? Why are you saying such things among your own family?"

Lin Jingyu shook her head, "I think we can't let the cooking stop here. You can cook for yourselves for breakfast and other meals, and for rainy days or other times when it's inconvenient to go out."

You can come over to my place for lunch and dinner; it'll be more fun with more people.
