Grandpa Guan stood at the door, his figure imposing, his expression stern.
"grandfather?"
Guan Yuxi was a little nervous.
Leng Lie gently shook her hand.
Grandpa Guan nodded to the two men and stared intently at the village chief, saying, "A life for a life is a matter of course."
"Don't even mention a mere village head like you; even a mayor or provincial governor couldn't settle this!"
The village chief's face instantly turned pale.
His previously arrogant face completely drooped.
His lips trembled for a long time before he slumped to the ground in despair.
Old Master Guan half-squatted in front of him, his gaze icy. "Have you all forgotten the oaths you swore in front of Leng Xian'ao?"
Village Chief Leng stared at him intently, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid. "How did you know?"
Did he give you that thing too? Where is it?
His face was contorted with rage, and his voice carried a hint of fierceness.
His gaze kept drifting towards the axe in the corner.
Leng Lie coughed lightly.
The village chief immediately looked away, and his expression gradually calmed down.
Grandpa Guan laughed contemptuously, "Trying to silence me? You're still too green."
To tell you the truth, that thing is in the hands of one of my comrades.
Over the years, I thought I wouldn't need it anymore, but who knew you'd start doing something stupid again!
Guan Yuxi and Leng Lie were completely confused.
However, they also knew that what Old Master Guan was talking about probably concerned a big secret.
Because Leng Xian'ao was Leng Lie's grandfather, who had passed away many years ago.
Village Chief Leng scrambled to his feet.
Kneeling before Old Master Guan, he kowtowed repeatedly, but dared not utter a single word.
Grandpa Guan stood up and looked down at him, "Return the things your father was keeping for Leng Xian'ao."
"Let's go home first."
If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.
Guan Yuxi helped Leng Lie to his feet and followed behind Grandpa Guan.
Village Chief Leng hesitated, then ultimately didn't dare to follow.
"Is there a suitable place to store your belongings?"
"have."
Leng Lie looked at the old man and nodded solemnly.
Guan Yuxi was a little uneasy, "Grandpa!"
Leng Lie added, "Grandpa Guan, there's no need to offend the village chief for my sake. We don't need those material possessions anyway."
Grandpa Guan smiled wryly and patted his granddaughter's head with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, he can't cause any big trouble."
What's yours is yours; just keep it safe.
Guan Yuxi held his hand affectionately, her face full of admiration.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of unease.
It seems something bad is about to happen?
That night, heavy snow fell.
It rained all night.
Guan Yuxi woke up early and looked at the snow-covered world with great joy.
"Grandpa, the snow is really heavy this year!"
Will you help me build a snowman?
Looking at Grandpa Guan's perfectly healed leg and his rosy face.
Guan Yuxi's heart was overflowing with joy.
She will definitely ensure that her beloved old man lives out his days in peace and that the tragedy in the book is not repeated.
"You're such a grown-up, yet you still have such a playful heart."
Grandpa Guan shook his head and chuckled.
In the end, he couldn't resist his granddaughter's persistent pleading.
“When we were little, every winter you would ask me to help you build a snowman.”
"In the summer, they would pester me to catch cicadas and bamboo shoot beetles for them."
In autumn, we searched the mountains for wild pears, wild persimmons, sour jujubes, and wild thorns to eat...
Grandpa Guan put a carrot nose on the snowman, his gaze kind and gentle.
But it seemed as if he was looking at her, somewhat lost in thought.
Guan Yuxi's nose tingled, and she held his icy hand, breathing on it repeatedly. "Grandpa, I was ignorant before."
Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you in the future.
Grandpa Guan's eyes moistened slightly as he smoothed down her stray bangs. "Okay."
"Alright, don't get too cold."
"What kind of bride acts like this?"
Grandpa Guan pulled Guan Yuxi into the house.
Guan Yuxi playfully stuck out her tongue.
Anyway, he'll take care of everything.
We didn't hire many people; he can manage.
Both Leng Lie and Old Master Guan have somewhat sensitive identities.
Therefore, Guan Yuxi and Leng Lie got married.
Only one table was served.
They invited three of Grandpa Guan's comrades-in-arms, as well as two respected elders from the village who were of good character.
Leng Lie was overjoyed to have married the woman he desired.
In order to prevent Guan Yuxi from being wronged, and also to avoid making Grandpa Guan feel disappointed.
So they decided to book the wedding banquet and the wedding room at the Guan family's house.
"Leng Lie values you, which is why he accommodates you despite the rumors."
You can't push your luck.
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry, I will be good to Brother Lie too."
Guan Yuxi playfully pulled and acted coquettishly.
She also knew that there were many rumors circulating in the village.
Rumors abound that Leng Lie was willing to abandon the ancestral hall and become a live-in son-in-law in order to curry favor with Old Master Guan.
There's been a lot of gossip about how Grandpa Guan is so unreasonable, not only does he have to support his granddaughter, but he also has to support his grandson-in-law's family.
Even more extreme, some predicted that the young couple would starve to death after Grandpa Guan passed away...
Leng Lie quietly touched Guan Yuxi's hand.
"Grandpa, don't talk about Xiaoxi. No matter what she does, I will always treat her the same way."
I don't care what others say.
Guan Yuxi's already fair face turned even redder as she blinked at Grandpa Guan.
He had an expression that said, "I knew this would happen."
Grandpa Guan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay! I can finally relax."
"grandfather......"
Guan Yuxi's unease surged up again.
