"Old man, you can't beat your brother-in-law!" Jiang Jinhua chimed in from the side.

"You brat, I'm giving you a chance to rephrase your words!" Jiang Junrong glared at his good-for-nothing son.

"Old man, I wasn't wrong at all!"

"You brat, I've put up with you for a long time. Do you think you can call me 'old man'?"

Where am I old? Where am I old?

You dare to boost others' morale and humiliate your father, Breeze? You've gone too far!

As Jiang Junrong spoke, he raised his hand to beckon to Jiang Jinhua.

Jiang Jinhua tried to run, but Gu Xichen grabbed him and he couldn't escape. He was punched several times by his father.

"Brother-in-law, let me go, let me go! Dad, I was wrong, please stop hitting me, Dad... Sister, save me..."

"If you dare let go of him, I'll beat you up too!" Gu Xichen originally wanted to let go, but after hearing his father-in-law say that, he tightened his grip on Jiang Jinhua's hand.

Between his brother-in-law and father-in-law, he firmly chose the latter.

During this time, he also reminded Jiang Jinxiu to go back inside so she wouldn't get hurt.

Zhou Wenjing watched her son get beaten and felt he deserved it.

She pulled Jiang Jinxiu back into the living room: "Let men handle their own affairs. Come on, eat some more."

She placed the chopsticks in Jiang Jinxiu's hands, and seeing that Jiang Jinxiu's head was still turned outwards, she directly cupped her head with both hands and turned it back.

"Sweetie, eat a little more. Your dad won't eat your man's flesh. That brat's just itching for a beating after not seeing him for so long. Don't mind them!"

Jiang Jinxiu: "..."

Her mother is so carefree!

While they were talking, Zhou Wenjing had already put some food into Jiang Jinxiu's bowl and poured her a bowl of chicken soup.

"Come on, drink some more chicken soup to nourish yourself."

Seeing her mother's expectant eyes, Jiang Jinxiu had no choice but to comply and drink the bowl of chicken soup.

After Zhao Guoan brought the person to the Gu family, he originally wanted to keep them there.

But thinking of his grandmother and Gu Xilan waiting in the vegetable garden, he sheepishly picked up the buckets and went to his private plot again.

Gu Xilan saw that only Zhao Guoan had returned.

Jiang Jinhua was nowhere to be seen. He asked, "Where's Jiang Jinhua? Did he go to slack off again?"

Grandma Luo also looked at Zhao Guoan.

"His parents have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Luo quickly grabbed Gu Xilan's still-busy hand: "Lan'er, we have guests at home, let's go back."

"Grandma Luo, you all go back first, I'll go call my parents!"

After saying that, she put down the water ladle in her hand and ran towards the chicken coop.

At this hour, her parents must still be busy at the chicken coop.

The chickens are due for sale soon, and her parents often work overtime there.

Grandma Luo and Zhao Guoan had barely approached the new house when they heard Jiang Jinhua's screams.

What's going on?

"Grandma, you'll find out when we get back."

As soon as the two stepped into the courtyard, Grandma Luo and the others saw a man beating Jiang Jinhua, while Gu Xichen calmly grabbed one of Jiang Jinhua's hands to prevent him from escaping.

"What, what happened?"

She was somewhat dazed; the figure looked so much like her old man when he used to beat his sons when he was young.

However, when she saw his face, she knew that he was Jiang Jinhua and Jiang Jinxiu's father.

Who can blame them when father and son look so alike?

But for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at this middle-aged man.

Is it because he is Jinxiu's father that people love him because of his love for her?

When Jiang Jinhua saw Grandma Luo come in, she quickly cried out, "Grandma Luo, Grandma Luo, save me! My dad is going to beat me to death!"

Grandma Luo, Grandma Luo, only you can save me.

Grandma Luo, please save me…

"Oh dear... Jinhua's father, what mistake has Jinhua made?"

He deserves a beating!

Jiang Junrong stopped what he was doing when he saw Old Lady Luo coming over.

Gu Xichen also released his grip on Jiang Jinhua's hand.

As soon as Jiang Jinhua was freed, she immediately hid behind Old Lady Luo, and kept touching her sore buttocks, complaining pitifully.

"Grandma Luo, they're all bullying me! You have to stand up for me!"

Grandma Luo didn't know the whole story and couldn't say anything.

However, after spending time together, she had come to understand this guy's personality to some extent.

"Did you make your father angry?"

Jiang Jinhua muttered aggrievedly, "I was just telling the truth."

Clearly, this kid doesn't understand what's making his dad angry.

Gu Xichen touched his nose, originally thinking that he was going to be disciplined by his father-in-law.

This result was truly beyond his expectations.

He couldn't help but look at his wife in the living room, while Jiang Jinxiu was looking outside.

They happened to make eye contact.

Their eyes were practically sticking out of their sockets.

Zhou Wenjing smiled knowingly as she looked at her daughter and son-in-law.

Life is short, and it's rare to meet someone you like and can stay with.

She is lucky.

Even more fortunately, her daughter was also found.

However, now is not the time for the two to exchange flirtatious glances.

She coughed lightly and asked, "Ah Xiu, who is that person? He looks familiar."

Jiang Jinxiu blushed slightly when her mother caught her in the act. But she still gave her a brief introduction of Old Lady Luo.

Zhou Wenjing was quite surprised when she learned that the old man was also from Kyoto.

Moreover, people love her daughter so much that they traveled a long way to see her; such kindness is truly rare.

Jiang Jinxiu told Zhou Wenjing about Grandma Luo's desire to adopt her as her goddaughter.

Zhou Wenjing did not object; on the contrary, she agreed.

Why wouldn't she want so many people who love her daughter?

Furthermore, Jiang's mother is not her daughter's biological grandmother. Now that they have severed ties, where else can she make a scene?

Zhou Wenjing recounted to Jiang Jinxiu in detail how her family had severed ties with the other people.

Jiang Jinxiu felt that her parents were right; those vampires were a bottomless pit.

The sooner you break it off, the sooner you can get away!

Jiang Junrong looked at the somewhat unfamiliar old woman. Could this be his daughter's mother-in-law?

She's old enough to be his mother.

And why do rural people have such a good temperament?

This old man looks like he's lived a life of luxury.

Does his daughter usually do all the housework?

"You wouldn't happen to be Gu Xichen's mother, would you? You don't look like it." He looked at the old woman in front of him, then at Gu Xichen.

It doesn't look like it at all!

Jiang Jinxiu walked up to Jiang Junrong and hugged his arm: "Dad, this is Grandma Luo, Zhao Guoan's grandma, also from Beijing. She's here to see me too."

Jiang Junrong knew Zhao Guoan, but this was the first time he had ever met his grandmother.

However, it's a bit awkward to mistake someone for another person right after meeting them.

Zhao Guoan then walked over and said, "Hello, Uncle!"

"You've come to the countryside too, kid?" Jiang Junrong raised an eyebrow.
