Han Qing was in danger twice, and Su Nian happened to be by his side, so Su Nian nodded honestly, "I know!"
"The biggest regret in my life is that I have so few family members around me," Grandpa Han said with a sigh. "When I gave up writing to join the army, a blind fortune teller in the same village told me that my fate would change if I left."
"If I hadn't left Xiafang Village, I should have been surrounded by my children and grandchildren, living out my old age in peace at home. But I didn't listen to others and insisted on joining the army to fight. As a result, my wife died young, and my eldest son became an outcast among the people."
"Later, peace was restored, and my original dream of pacifying the world was realized. Bowen married and had children, a son and a daughter. I thought fate had punished me enough, but unexpectedly, an accident caused Bowen and his wife to disappear together."
"I now understand how true the blind man's words were! From then on, I was very cautious and never dared to cause any trouble with Han Qing. I finally watched him grow up, and later, I found you again."
Grandpa Han sighed, took out something from the drawer, signed it with a pen, and handed it to Su Nian: "Han Qing and I investigated his recent distress and found that it might be related to Han Tiezhu. Unfortunately, every time we investigated the last step, the clues were broken."
"Han Tiezhu is a cunning man. Han Qing and I have discussed this and decided that we can only wait for him to strike again so we can catch him in the act. However, a gentleman never stands under a wall. Using ourselves as targets is somewhat dangerous."
"Now, I'm handing my life and Han Qing's life over to you and Beichen," Grandpa Han smiled gently, "You have to help me watch from the outside and don't let Han Tiezhu succeed!"
Su Nian's palms were sweaty from nervousness. When she heard Grandpa Han say this, she quickly stopped him and said, "Grandpa, if you think there's something wrong with Chen Erbao and his father, just kick them out. Why keep them around?"
Grandpa Han sighed and pointed at his legs. "I don't believe in fate. I healed my legs just to find Bowen and his wife. I had planned to see you off after your wedding, but I didn't expect Han Tiezhu to come out and mess things up."
"So I thought, why not take a risk and make him act quickly so I can finish this matter sooner and go find your father!"
Only then did Su Nian understand Grandpa Han’s painstaking efforts. She felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and didn’t know what to say.
Seeing that Su Nian didn't take the document, Grandpa Han handed it directly to Chu Beichen, "Xiaoxiao is a girl. Let me tell you something you don't want to hear. My Han family should still be headed by men!"
Chu Beichen's spirits suddenly soared, and hesitantly took the document. "We will definitely pay attention, but you still have to be careful!"
"Of course, I'm just being prepared!" Grandpa Han stood up. "Let's go and see what they're doing!"
In the yard, an old country man sat at a stone table. He leaned over to Han Qing and asked, "Why are your cigarettes so thick? What kind of tobacco leaves do you use to roll them?"
Han Qing held a cigar in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "How about I give you one to try?"
The country boy nodded his head in agreement, "Okay, I'll try some city cigarettes too!"
Su Nian and Chu Beichen both found this scene a little funny, but after laughing, they felt something was wrong. Su Nian always had a strong sense of incongruity with the country father and son.
