Young Master Huang lowered his head, tightly grasped the round pendant in his hand, and said nothing.
The old man saw that he had something to hide, and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Every family has its own troubles. Leaving your child behind at such a young age must have been a source of worry and concern. Perhaps it was your mother's blessing that allowed Young Master Huang to meet our family during this time of danger."
Zhuzhu sat between her mother and older brother. She looked at her mother on the left and saw her crying, and at her older brother on the right who was also holding back tears. She quickly took out her handkerchief, wiped her mother's tears, and then hugged her older brother. She was very busy.
"Don't cry, big brother. Your mother is dead, but Zhuzhu's mother is still alive. Zhuzhu will give you half!"
Children's words and expressions are innocent and yet they are extremely heartwarming.
The old man and Tai Jizu laughed, but Master Huang gently hugged the fat girl and responded, "Thank you Zhuzhu!"
Yang Lihua also wiped away her tears, took back her round pendant, and helped Mr. Huang put on the round pendant.
"Mr. Huang, since you don't want to ask, I won't ask any more questions. I am six years younger than my cousin. She has taken care of me a lot since I was a child, and our relationship is like that of sisters.
"Now that she's gone, and you're here with me again, I'll treat you as if you were sent here by your cousin to be taken care of. If you don't mind, just call me aunt. Recover at home and come visit more often if you can!"
Young Master Huang raised his head and looked at her without any calculation, only pity and love in his eyes. All his defenses and vigilance disappeared immediately.
He smiled slightly and replied, "Aunt, my mother gave me the nickname Kang Cheng. You can call me that from now on!"
"Okay, Kangcheng! Your mother is looking forward to your health and success!" Yang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
It is sad that her cousin is gone, but her son is right in front of her, which is enough to make up for all the sadness!
Young Master Huang hugged Zhuzhu and teased her with a smile, "Zhuzhu, I am your cousin, call me cousin from now on!"
"Cousin?" Zhuzhu tilted her little head. She wasn't particular about the name, but she had never called anyone that.
"Yes!" Mr. Huang said patiently, "I am your cousin. I will buy you snacks and fun things in the future!"
The fat girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she called out crisply, "Cousin, cousin!"
Mr. Tai and Tai Jizu both laughed, very happy that Yang Lihua had recognized her nephew.
Young Master Huang insisted on giving them the respects of a junior. He was so tired that his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yang Lihua quickly pushed him back, then went to heat up the chicken soup and steamed buns, and boiled some medicine.
Perhaps Master Huang had recognized his aunt, so he wasn't as polite or distant as he had been yesterday. After eating his fill and taking his medicine, he chatted with Zhuzhu casually and slowly fell asleep...
Zhuzhu got up early in the morning and took a bus out of the city, followed by a hike, and then ate and drank enough together. She was feeling sleepy now, so she huddled close to Master Huang and unexpectedly started snoring too...
Mr. Tai saw this and felt even more relieved.
Although we still don’t know Mr. Huang’s identity, Zhuzhu is so close to him, so he should not be a malicious person.
At least this Young Master Huang has no ill will towards the Tai family!
Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue and Chen Ruiyang had just taken advantage of the time when people were talking in the house to sneak out hunting with the old soldier.
It’s no wonder that they were lucky enough to bring back a pheasant with brightly colored feathers.
He was running into the yard shouting and showing off when the old man waved his hand and stopped him.
Yang Lihua asked them to wash their hands and faces, without saying much, but just said that Mr. Huang in the room was her nephew from her mother's side, and they should call him cousin from now on.
The three boys were a little dumbfounded. How come they had a cousin when they just went out to hunt pheasants?
Especially Chen Ruiyang, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
This fake nephew of his met his real nephew...
Yang Lihua didn't care what they thought. She was busy cooking for everyone and even arranged the evening dishes before quickly taking her husband and daughter down the mountain.
It would have been fine if she hadn't acknowledged him before, but now that her nephew's identity has been confirmed, she has to take better care of him.
Clean change of clothes, both inside and out, as well as shoes, socks, etc., all need to be prepared quickly.
Also, after such a serious injury and losing so much blood, I need to take good care of myself...
Liu Dongniang stayed at home, sitting at the kitchen door chopping meat and sighing from time to time.
Originally, the whole family, young and old, along with horses and puppies, made the yard bustling like a boiling pot every day. She was really not used to it suddenly becoming quiet!
Tai Jizong and Tai Jiye were also impatient and walked around the yard from time to time.
Tai Jizong asked his wife loudly, "Dong Niang, are you going to make dumplings?"
Liu Dongniang shook her head and replied, "No, I'm planning to make some dumplings or pies. Not only will it be convenient to send to the mountain, but Dad and the others can also make some porridge for a meal."
Tai Jiye quickly interrupted, "Second sister-in-law, I'll go see you off when the time comes! I haven't been to our wooden house many times!"
Tai Jizong laughed at his brother's anger and kicked him lightly, "You don't care about the team anymore, why are you trying to compete with me for this job? A wooden house is just a wooden house, what's so good about it?"
Tai Jiye chuckled and replied, "I'm not looking at the wooden house, but Dad and the boys always go there, so I want to see if there's anything good there! They're gone for days at a time, and there's no one at home. It's so deserted."
"You are not a human being, and I am not a human being!" Tai Jizong quarreled with his younger brother. The two brothers made the deserted home a little more lively with their own efforts.
At this time, Tai Jizu came in with his daughter and wife on his back.
Tai Jizong and Tai Jiye's eyes immediately lit up and they came forward in surprise.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!"
Tai Jiye even took his little niece in his arms and held her in his arms.
Seeing his brothers like this, Tai Jizu quickly asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"
"No, I just don't know what's going on on the mountain, and I'm worried about it." Tai Jiye responded quickly.
Seeing Liu Dongniang coming out, Yang Lihua was afraid that if she said a few more words, outsiders would hear her.
So she said a few words, changed her clothes, and then helped her sister-in-law cook.
Everyone guessed something and kept quiet tacitly, waiting for dinner time to close the door and talk slowly among themselves.
Unexpectedly, Master Tai San hadn't seen his old brother for several days, so he came over with his hands behind his back and his pipe in hand.
"Jizu, what's going on in your family these days? Has your father not come down from the mountain yet? Is something wrong? Has he... suffered a loss?"
Tai Jizu was afraid that the old man would get hurt, so he invited him to have dinner with him.
Liu Dongniang was quick and efficient and quickly prepared two dishes and steamed some white rice.
After everyone finished eating, Master Tai San started asking questions without waiting for the table to be cleared.
Yang Lihua then told the story of how the old man and Zhuzhu picked up an injured nobleman and discovered that this man was her nephew.
Master Tai San, Tai Jizong, and Tai Jiye all listened to the whole story from beginning to end, their faces all looking a little strange...
