Grandpa Xia glanced at him and said, "I know you dote on your daughter, but you should know where you are."
"Even if he did it on purpose, what can you do when we're on someone else's turf? We still have to wait for that kid Gu Shen to come back."
Zhang Junan felt that wasn't the case.
At least, he can protect his daughter.
After Grandpa Xia finished speaking, he kept staring at him. In front of the old man, Zhang Jun'an was like a little child. He pouted and didn't say anything.
Xia Anyan looked on and found it amusing: "Dad, Grandpa is actually right. This matter really has nothing to do with the young comrade. Besides, he just meant well and wanted to call me down for some fresh air."
"It was because I lost my balance that I almost fell. He didn't immediately reach out to help me because he was concerned about my reputation. Isn't that only natural? This also shows that he is indeed a good comrade. How can you be angry about this?"
"I have to criticize you this time. You need to think things through carefully before you do anything."
After hearing her daughter's words, Zhang Junan lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Grandpa Xia snorted coldly: "Listen to this, even a child is more sensible than you. You're not young anymore, why are you still so short-tempered when you do things?"
Zhang Junan blushed as he listened.
There are younger people here, why don't we give him some face?
"Father, please give me some face." He lowered his voice and carefully cast a pleading look at the old man.
In fact, Xia Anyan heard everything, but she pretended not to hear it and even turned around and went to a spot a little to the side.
The old man snorted coldly: "Look at you, so pathetic! You still have any shame?"
“You used to be so smart, how come you’ve become so brainless now? If I hadn’t stopped you just now, were you planning to go straight to that young comrade? Have you thought about how our Yan Yan would live in the army if you went like that? How would she face anyone?”
“We’re just packing our bags and leaving, but she’s going to stay in the family compound. You’ve offended someone today, and while they can’t do anything to us, can’t they do anything to Yan Yan? If they make things difficult for Yan Yan, it’s a matter of life and death, you know that?”
Zhang Junan felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing the old man's words.
He really didn't think things through; he didn't consider these things at all.
If the old man hadn't reminded him, he might have... really forgotten.
"Father, I've remembered everything you said. Don't worry, I'll definitely correct my mistakes in the future and won't be so impatient anymore." Zhang Jun'an lowered his head and apologized to the old man.
Grandpa Xia sighed: "I don't want you to apologize to me. I want you to understand that we are not the same as before. Yan Yan's status is also very special now. We can't be the same as before."
"As long as Gu Shen treats our Yan Yan well and can protect her, then we won't say anything."
"Let the young couple discuss everything themselves. As for us, we just need to take good care of ourselves and not hold Yan Yan back."
Zhang Junan pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.
He sat down next to the old man, lowered his head, and looked somewhat dejected.
The old man patted him on the shoulder.
They should admit that they are useless, good-for-nothings.
If their household registration hadn't always been in the countryside, they might be in the same situation as Xia Zhengyuan and the others.
They should be thankful!
"ah--"
Just then, a woman's shout rang out.
Everyone quickly stood up and looked toward the source of the sound.
Both Zhang Junan and Old Master Xia felt a chill run down their spines.
That voice... it's so familiar.
Looking around, there was no sign of my granddaughter (daughter).
Zhang Junan took off running in that direction, shouting as he ran, "Ayan, don't be afraid, Daddy's here."
Captain Gong frowned and led his men in that direction.
When they parked, they had already looked around. He had just led his men to check the area and found no large animals or traps.
But Xia Anyan's voice just now wasn't fake.
He was also worried that something might have happened, so he led his men and ran over quickly.
On the ground, there was only one shoe; Xia Anyan had vanished.
Zhang Junan was holding the shoes, almost frantic: "Captain Gong, these are Ayan's shoes. She was in danger right here."
"Please help me find my daughter. I'm not familiar with this area, and I don't know where to look. Please help me, okay?"
He almost knelt down before Captain Gong.
Captain Gong quickly helped the man up: "Uncle Zhang, this was my mistake. I won't let anything happen to Sister Xia."
“Okay, I’ll assign a few people to you, and we’ll split up. I don’t see any large animal footprints on the ground, so I suppose Sister Xia must have run away on her own. Maybe she lost her shoes because she was running too fast.”
Captain Gong first analyzed the situation, and then assigned a few people to follow Zhang Jun'an.
They split into three teams and went in three different directions.
They agreed that, regardless of the outcome, they must meet here one hour later.
This is a dense forest. Xia Anyan was led here by a monkey.
To be honest, Xia Anyan didn't know why monkeys appeared in this place.
She had imagined encountering tigers, lions, bears, or other animals here.
But the monkey...
"Little monkey, what exactly do you want? If you bring me in like this, my family will worry if they can't find me."
"I don't see that you mean to hurt me. Let me go back first and let my family know I'm safe. Then I'll come and play with you, okay?"
Xia Anyan tried her best to keep her voice soft, afraid of scaring the monkey.
But actually, she's quite scared now.
Who wouldn't be scared in that situation?
"Squeak, squeak squeak..."
Monkeys can't talk, they can only squeak.
It was gesturing wildly, as if it were trying to say something to Xia Anyan.
But Xia Anyan couldn't understand.
Her brows were furrowed together.
When she tried to leave, the little monkey blocked her way.
Now, she could only limp along following the little monkey into the woods.
When they reached a cave, she was dumbfounded: "You're not going to lock me up here, are you?"
"Monkey, let me tell you, even though I'm a lesbian, I can get angry too, and I can be quite terrifying when I'm angry."
She spoke threateningly to the monkey, hoping it would understand!
