After hearing the whole story, Old Man Ruan sighed, "If the Zhou family doesn't change their arrogant ways, they'll definitely be eliminated!"
The tide of history has never shown mercy to those who work behind closed doors. The Zhou family thought that by keeping their ancestral secret recipe to themselves, they could maintain their status forever!
"What a pity for Zhou Kunran. I heard his wife died in childbirth, losing both their children in the womb. The Zhou family is laughable; they call themselves a family of doctors, yet they dared to let their younger generation die like that!"
"His parents were also foolish. Knowing that his wife was about to give birth, they deliberately sent him away. When he came back, his wife and child were gone!"
At this point, Old Man Ruan thought of his fourth son's near-death experience when he returned to face the same situation, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm a fool too, and Second Brother shouldn't be talking about Eldest Brother either!"
Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia cooked lunch and dinner for the old man in the kitchen before leaving the nursing home.
Before leaving, Grandpa Ruan tiptoed and patted Yao Tongxu's head: "You've grown really tall, not bad! Come visit Grandpa when you have time, and bring your future brother-in-law along!"
Yao Tongxu readily agreed. Only after the vehicle was out of sight did Grandpa Ruan slowly walk back to the courtyard!
Seeing the old man's dejected look, Ahai couldn't bear it: "Why don't you apply to have their family come and stay with you for a while?"
Grandpa Ruan shook his head: "You help me issue this statement tomorrow. I can't keep them here. They have things to do in Beijing, so it's not appropriate for them to stay here!"
Has Ruan Tian contacted anyone?
"Nothing has been found yet!"
"I wonder if that old woman's eyes are blind? The two people she took care of with all her heart are no good. Look at this, she'll suffer even more in the future!"
"Let her suffer a bit, then she'll know that what others say is good medicine even if it's bitter!"
Ahai helped the old man to wash up, and asked curiously, "Is Shengpeng really someone you adopted?"
"No, he is my son. You know I have five children. Later, the leaders thought I didn't meet the adoption requirements, so another couple adopted him!"
"You startled me, but you didn't need to issue a statement!"
"No, she absolutely has to. My wife is still very upset that I didn't take good care of her, and that Si'er almost didn't survive. She has to treat the child even worse to justify her behavior!"
"It's fine if I walk behind the old woman in the future, but if I walk in front of her, Si'er will surely be destroyed by her too. I can't let her ruin Si'er!"
"No way, he's her son after all!"
"No, her personality is becoming increasingly extreme. I can't let any possibility slip by. Si'er has already had enough to suffer. I can't let things get worse!"
Back in the rented courtyard, everyone washed up and prepared to go back to rest, but Yao Tongxu couldn't help but ask, "Dad, hasn't Brother Xiao arrived yet? Is he in danger?"
“I received their telegram before; they encountered some danger, but Brother Xiao is capable, and Hawkeye is also skilled; they will resolve it!”
"Go and rest first. They might arrive tomorrow morning. With so many of them, you'll need to help cook for them!"
"They're all going to stay here? The back rooms haven't even been prepared yet!"
"It's alright, they'll settle in themselves. There should be four or five of them moving in. They'll be coming back with me and your mother then!"
Yes, Ruan Shengpeng and Yao Yanxin also need someone to protect them!
Sure enough, when Yao Tongxu woke up the next morning, before he had even washed up, he heard a knock on the door. He was quite alert: "Who's knocking?"
Xiao Gengwu's voice came from outside the door: "Axu, open the door!"
Yao Tongxu hurriedly opened the door. Before he could finish being happy, he saw that they looked like they had been in a fierce battle, with bruises on their bodies and two of them clearly more seriously injured!
Yao Tongxu hurriedly shouted, "Dad, Dad, Sister, Mom, Brother Xiao is back injured!"
This shout brought out not only the whole family, but also the Xiang couple from next door!
Brother Xiang quickly helped help the person inside: "Go get hot water and hemostatic agent to treat the wound!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Tongjia came out with her things: "Brother Xiao, are you alright?"
Xiao Gengwu quickly reassured them, "I'm fine, I just have a minor injury. I've already applied hemostatic agent to their wounds, they just look serious!"
Sure enough, when Ruan Shengpeng and Brother Xiang helped treat the wound, the bleeding had stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Judging from the freshness of your wounds, you were injured after arriving in Beijing?"
The man with eagle eyes nodded: "We arrived in Beijing around 4 o'clock. There are no buses at this time. We saw a jeep parked on the side of the road and assumed it was arranged by you."
"We had barely walked over when dozens of people surrounded us, each with a knife in their hand. We had no choice but to hastily engage in combat."
Two fists can't fight four hands. Hawkeye also had to protect Xiao Gengwu, so he was inevitably a little distracted. It was thanks to the fourth brother's desperate protection that the two of them were not seriously injured!
"You're all innocent victims? That jeep must have gotten into trouble, and you've taken the blame for them!" Brother Xiang said with a hint of schadenfreude, seeing that no one else was injured.
The eagle-eyed man was somewhat astonished: "No way!"
"We couldn't find out when you arrived. Did you buy tickets that belonged to someone else? And did you change stations? Under these circumstances, how would those people know you arrived in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Gengwu thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Uncle Eagle, it seems that's how it is!"
The eagle-eyed man actually thought so too, but he felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to say it!
Just then, Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongjia brought a bowl of white noodle soup to their eldest sister: "Everyone come and eat, you must be starving!"
They were indeed starving. They had come down around 4 a.m. and were so hungry that they were exhausted. They thought they would get back here soon, but after a fierce battle, they didn't get here until 7 or 8 p.m.!
As the Xiang couple were about to leave, Yao Yanxin quickly stopped them, saying, "Call your child over to eat with us. Don't be shy, I cooked so much, we definitely can't finish it all!"
Brother Xiang didn't believe it: "Look at these people, where is there any food left?"
"I'll cook more if it's not enough, it'll be quick. Come and eat! Don't come to help, you'll just have to go home and eat your own food! Come and eat!"
In the end, the Xiang couple stayed for the meal and even called their two children over. The eldest sister of the Xiang family said with some concern, "You've only used white flour. Why didn't you add some cornmeal?"
"Everyone's tired, let's have some wheat flour to refresh ourselves. We brought food with us, so don't worry!"
Everyone was satisfied with the meal of white flour dumplings. Yao Tongjia felt that people nowadays have very low requirements for material things!
After the Xiang family couple returned with their child, Eagle Eye Man led his men to the second courtyard to tidy up. Only then did Xiao Gengwu say, "If we want to get to the bottom of this matter, it would be best to go see my grandmother!"
"What? What does this have to do with Old Madam Chen?" Everyone found it unbelievable!
