At this time, everyone would look at Gu Yanbai and wait for him to answer.
After a while, the old man also noticed something was wrong. "You bunch of good-for-nothings, are you up to something again?"
Especially you, Gu Yanbai.
"Tell me honestly, are you up to something behind my back again? Otherwise, why are they all watching you?"
Gu Yanbai calmly tucked the blanket around him. "Grandpa, people say that a scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation."
Can you please stop judging me by past standards?
I'm so old, how could I be so unreliable!
I'm doing important things right now, so don't worry about it. Taking good care of your leg is the most important thing.
These words reminded him that getting his leg healed was the most important thing right now.
"Fine, I'll trust you one more time."
If I find out you dare to lie to me, see how I deal with you!
"How could that be? You are the Buddha, how could I escape your grasp?" Gu Yanbai flattered the old man again without making a sound.
"Alright, at least you know your place." The old man glanced at everyone in the room.
He waved to them, "Alright, go back now. Go do what you need to do. You don't need to watch over me."
"Aren't there walking sticks here? I can do whatever I want by myself."
"Alright, then take it easy. We'll bring you three meals a day from now on." Seeing that the old man insisted, everyone had no choice but to disperse.
And so, the old man stayed in the hospital.
After staying for seven days, the old man prepared to be discharged.
Gu Yanbai took the old man directly to their house.
The old man was puzzled. "No, why did you bring your family here?"
You should send it back to me. I've gotten used to living in the old house all these years.
Besides, I haven't seen my sheep for days; I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't go back and check on them.
Gu Yanbai's expression remained unchanged. "What's there to be unaccustomed to? Haven't you lived in this courtyard before?"
Besides, my brother and sister-in-law are so busy, how could they have time to take care of you?
Just stay here comfortably, it will be easier for us to take care of you.
Also, your leg isn't healed yet. The doctor said it will take some more time to recover.
How can I feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on you!
The old man thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.
The eldest son and his wife are very busy now. They have been growing tobacco for the past few years and have made some money.
Having tasted success, they cleared some wasteland on the mountainside to grow tobacco.
Now, the two of them have to work in the fields and help him herd sheep every day. If they also have to take care of him, it's really too tiring.
"Alright, then I'll stay at your place for now. Once I've recovered, I'll go back to my old house."
In the entire courtyard, only Gu Yanbai and the old man were talking.
Everyone else remained silent, especially Gu Yansong and his wife, not because they were unwilling to take care of the old man.
It's really true...
Gu Yanbai gave Gu Yanliu a wink.
The latter understood immediately, and the two of them, one on each side, helped him into the room that had been prepared in advance.
After settling the old man in, Su Nianxue pulled him into the room.
What they didn't know was that the old man only stayed for a short while before complaining that the room was stuffy.
He was now slowly walking out of the room, leaning on a cane.
Su Nianxue said, "This matter can't be kept secret for long. Grandpa will definitely go out for some fresh air after staying in the hospital for so long."
Gu Yanbai didn't take it seriously. "Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can. Anyway, it's already like this. Even if Grandpa doesn't agree, there's nothing we can do."
"You've got some nerve," she said, glancing at Gu Yanbai. "Once Grandpa finds out about this, you're in for a beating."
"There's nothing we can do, let him beat us if he wants."
Anyway, I've gotten my fair share of beatings from him since I was a kid. If I don't vent my anger for him, I might just go crazy." Gu Yanbai said, spreading his hands, quite the swagger.
Su Nianxue rolled her eyes at him, "It seems Grandpa was right, you really are like that, if you're not disciplined for three days, you'll start climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles."
He should have given you a good beating, making you act first and ask for permission later.
"No, Su Nianxue, from what you're saying, you're actually happy for him to punish me?"
"Tell me, when did I upset you again?" Gu Yanbai felt very innocent. He had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, staying at the hospital the whole time.
Although the old man told them not to stay with him, how could he really just abandon them?
Su Nianxue, annoyed, threw a form into his arms and said, "Look at it yourself!"
He picked up the form and looked at it carefully.
Then, the corners of his mouth slowly split open, and then a big smile blossomed.
"No, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Just these past few days, I've been feeling a bit unwell."
Then, when I went to the hospital to see my grandfather, I also had a check-up done. And that's how it is." Her tone was somewhat sullen, and she seemed rather unhappy.
"No, honey, this is a good thing, you should be happy, why are you looking so down?" Gu Yanbai's face lit up with joy.
"Happy my ass, Gu Yanbai, I wish I could strangle you."
I told you a long time ago to be careful tonight, but you just wouldn't listen.
"Now look what's happened, she's pregnant again." She looked at the smile on his lips, and it was just so irritating to look at.
"Here, let me pinch you, let me pinch you." He stretched out his neck with a smile.
Su Nianxue pretended to pinch him, "Gu Yanbai, you're still laughing."
