"Sigh..." Yun Dazheng sighed deeply and said, "Actually, Grandpa didn't want to say these things to your Uncle Laogen, it's too hurtful... But, people say that a loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, but this broken drum of his can only be hit hard. I don't know if what I said will shatter him or wake him up."
As Yun Dazheng spoke, he shook his head. Seeing Yun Duo looking at him with wide, blinking eyes and a puzzled expression, he continued, "Laogen wasn't like this before. He wasn't even called Lu Laogen. Back then, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, his father took him to work in town. Then one day, his father was carried back covered in blood and passed away not long after."
"Ever since the day Lao Gen's father passed away, Lao Gen changed his name. He not only changed it verbally, but also went to the head of the Lu family at the time and changed his name on the family tree. He also changed a lot. He would hide from almost everyone he saw. If he couldn't hide, he would cover his head and squat down, wishing he could hide in a crack in the ground. He wouldn't talk to anyone... He's only gotten a little better in the last few years."
"Later we learned that when Lao Gen was working in town, he said something that angered a soldier who had been defeated and was coming down from the front. Lao Gen's father was seriously injured while trying to save him."
At this point, Yun Dazheng let out another long sigh. He was clearly regretting what he had just said. But sometimes, when you have something to hold back, you know you shouldn't say it, yet you still say it anyway. Now, he could only hope it wouldn't have too serious a backlash on Lao Gen.
Yun Duo took Yun Dazheng's rough hand and shook it gently: "Grandpa, it's okay. So much time has passed. Maybe..." Uncle Lao Gen himself doesn't care anymore?
Yun Duo didn't finish her sentence, because even she herself didn't believe what she was saying.
After thinking for a moment, he changed his words and said, "Maybe Uncle Laogen will realize what you're saying? If you don't believe me, think about it. When Uncle Laogen dragged Aunt Juhua out just now, wasn't his walking style a little different from before?"
It's different, but doesn't it look even more decadent?
Yun Dazheng was thinking to himself. However, although he thought about it, he didn't say it out loud, but he would show it on his face to some extent.
Seeing this, Yun Duo was afraid that he would feel guilty in his heart and harm his health, so she thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Grandpa, I think it's a good thing that you've spoken your mind. Think about it, Aunt Juhua's habit, although she only talks about people in the village, it has become a habit. What if one day, she gets into the town or the city and says these unpleasant things naturally, offending the wrong people? Wouldn't that be another disaster?"
"When Aunt Chrysanthemum gets into trouble, it's usually Uncle Old Root who suffers the most."
"If Uncle Lao Gen takes your words to heart, truly takes them to heart, and corrects Aunt Juhua's 'bad habits'... it's not that it can be completely corrected, but if you can make Juhua think a little before gossiping about others, maybe a disaster can be avoided?"
Don't you think so?
Whether it was true or not, Yun Dazheng didn't know. Before he could reply to Yun Duo, he heard Zhang Juhua's distinctive scream coming from afar.
"Lu Laogen, you dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"
