The old man thought she was acting strangely. "Of course she's herding sheep."
I have such a large flock of sheep, if I don't herd them up the mountain, what will they eat?
That little bit of tofu dregs isn't enough to eat.
"Didn't your sheep get sold by your Yanbai?" Aunt Liu blurted out, her mouth moving faster than her brain.
"What did you say?" The old man's heart skipped a beat; his intuition told him that it was true.
No wonder he'd felt something was off about these guys these past few days.
Some of them were... sneaky.
Every time he asked about sheep, they would all look at Gu Yanbai and remain silent, letting Gu Yanbai answer.
So it's obvious that this brat started it.
Moreover, this kid is the bravest in the whole family.
If anyone would dare to sell his sheep, it would be this kid.
Haha, they've even learned to act first and ask questions later.
The key point is that they even managed to behead him.
Gu Yanbai, he really is something else.
He was furious and didn't bother chatting with his sixth aunt anymore. He immediately shouted at their door, "Gu Yanbai, you get the hell out here!"
Hearing the powerful and angry shout, the two exchanged a glance. Well, it seems that the whole thing has been exposed!
"Grandpa is calling you, let me go."
"Come with me." Gu Yanbai took her hand and they walked out together.
Now that he has a ready-made excuse, he's probably avoiding a beating.
In the courtyard, the old man stared angrily at the doorway. "Gu Yanbai, if you don't come out, I'm going to bang on the door!"
With a creak, the door opened. "Grandpa, what's wrong? Is your leg hurting again?"
"You little bastard, what are you pretending to be confused about? I'm asking you, where are my sheep?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Aunt Liu immediately slipped away.
Goodness, the old man doesn't know about this?
It turns out that it was that rascal Gu Yanbai who secretly sold the sheep behind the old man's back.
Oh no, she's been too talkative this time.
"Your sheep, of course, are..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man's cane swept across him.
"You sold it to me, didn't you?" The old man glared angrily and shouted in a deep voice.
Gu Yanbai nimbly retreated, thus avoiding his attack range.
Seeing that things had already come to this, he readily admitted, "Yes, I made the decision to sell your sheep."
We sold them together for 2,800 yuan, and I've kept them safe for you.
Don't worry, I didn't take a single penny from you. I'll give you everything in a bit!
"Are I talking about money?"
You bastard, you've grown wings, huh? You even dare to set your sights on me now.
"Is it because I haven't disciplined you for a while that you're itching for a beating?" The old man felt a pang of heartache.
His sheep!
Several ewes already have foals, and it looks like they're about to make a fortune again.
That's how this kid messed things up.
His once plump, white sheep has now turned into colorful banknotes.
His sheep are alive and will earn more and more, while money is dead; once you use one, you have one less.
Thinking of this, he raised his cane again, wanting to hit him.
Gu Yanbai subconsciously took two steps back, and the old man's cane missed its mark.
He was so angry that he was panting heavily. "Hey, you little bastard, you're taking advantage of my leg injury."
"Let me tell you, this isn't over. Once my leg's healed, you'll see how I deal with you!"
"Hey old man, what are you doing?"
"I've already sold your sheep. Even if you beat me to death, it won't come back!" Gu Yanbai replied fearlessly.
"He's not coming back. But I won't swallow this insult unless I beat him up."
The old man slammed the stick he was holding heavily onto the stone slab, making it thud loudly.
Su Nianxue quickly tried to smooth things over, "Grandpa, actually it's better to sell the sheep."
You're getting old, you shouldn't go up the mountain anymore.
If something else happens, we'll be so worried.
Now that our family is better off, we have enough to eat and wear, and we even have a little extra money. Life is pretty good.
You've worked hard your whole life, so from now on, just stay home and enjoy your retirement!
Seeing that she was pleading on her behalf, the old man still gave her face after all, saying, "Nianxue, Grandpa understands this principle."
But I've been working for decades, and if I were to have some free time, I would feel restless and uncomfortable.
Grandpa knows you are all filial children.
"But if I don't find something to do, I get restless and anxious."
"Grandpa, you just want to find something to do, right? That's easy." Seeing that the old man wasn't so angry anymore, Gu Yanbai shamelessly came closer.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The old man was still angry and didn't really want to talk to him.
Gu Yanbai didn't mind, as long as he was still willing to talk to him, that was fine. "Then you can help me look after the child!"
"Watching the kids? Xiaxia?"
"Yeah, aren't you bored? Then you can help me take care of my daughter."
I'm telling you, my wife is pregnant again.
This little girl is incredibly energetic; my wife is having a hard time handling her all by herself.
"Why don't you stay with us from now on and help me take care of the kids?" Gu Yanbai said with a hint of flattery.
The old man quickly grasped the key point: "Pregnant again?"
He glanced at Su Nianxue, pondering the possibility of this.
Gu Yanbai pressed his advantage, "Yes, you should take better care of your granddaughter-in-law!"
You know I have to go out from time to time, so I feel more at ease if you're here at home.
