Hua Zhian was both amused and exasperated. What kind of young man needs his grandfather to pick him up and drop him off at work?
Such an unbelievable thing actually happened to him. If this were to happen again, he would become the laughing stock of the entire county.
"Hurry up, don't be late." Tian Guihua urged, "Your grandfather is not very agile, so leave early and don't walk too fast on the way."
"Grandma, isn't that unnecessary? If word gets out, how will your grandson ever be able to live in the county town again?"
Tian Guihua: "Why is it okay for you to pick up and drop off other people? But it's not okay for your grandfather to pick you up and drop you off?"
Your grandpa just happened to be out fishing, so you can help him carry his things back later. What can anyone say then?
It's like I've already prepared a reason for you, so stop being unreasonable.
Hua Xiangyun never expected the old couple to come up with such a solution. She smiled and said to Hua Zhian, "Second brother, don't overthink it. Grandpa just wanted to go fishing at your place, and it just so happens to be on his way."
Hua Zhiping patted him on the shoulder, "Don't forget what we said yesterday: when a family encounters problems, we should stand together against outsiders and not try to be different."
Or do you dislike Grandpa because of his bad legs and feel he's holding you back?
Hua Xiangyun gave him a thumbs up in her heart. As expected of the eldest brother, his words hit the nail on the head. Now, not only could the second brother not refuse, but he also had to endure the sharp gazes of the two elders.
"How could I dare to look down on Grandpa?" Hua Zhian said with a wry smile. If he weren't already an adult, he would have wanted to sit on the ground and cry his heart out. This is so unfair.
But he didn't dare, and had to explain, "Grandpa, don't listen to my older brother's nonsense, I really don't dislike you."
"Since you want to come along, then come along. Come on, I'll help you carry your things."
What else can I do now? I can't refuse him, I can only endure it.
At least the elders in the family are still considerate of his feelings, so let him go fishing; it makes him seem filial.
The people in the compound would only glance at them when they went out, and didn't pay them any attention.
But Hua Guangzong had rarely stopped fishing for so long, and today he finally couldn't resist anymore.
"Guangzong, where are you planning to go fishing? How about we go together?" Liu Tiezhu was standing in the courtyard waving his arms. Seeing this, he quickly stopped.
Hua Guangzong has a mission today. "I won't go far, just to the small river next to my second son's factory. If you want to go, come find me there later."
"How did it end up over there?" Liu Tiezhu asked, puzzled. "The river there must be deep; there aren't any big fish there."
"Hey, who cares about big fish or small fish, I just haven't fished in a while and I want to get back to fishing."
The children at home were worried, so they said they could keep an eye on things over there and help carry some things.
Liu Tiezhu was somewhat envious. Sun was all around him, and Hua Guangzong, that old fellow, hadn't even brought anything with him. Even though the journey there was a bit long, it didn't seem to be a problem.
"Sigh, we're not as lucky as you. No one will help us carry things. This old man isn't going to go and suffer with you." Liu Tiezhu didn't want to go and be humiliated. He thought it would make him look pitiful if the other person had their grandson running around taking care of things.
Hua Guangzong waved his hand at him, "You just can't bear to let your children do things, otherwise your grandsons would definitely be fighting to take care of you."
Not to boast, but he raised all his children himself. He and his wife, Liu Tiezhu and his wife, didn't manage things. Although their grandchildren were filial to them, it was only superficial.
He followed them out happily, then smiled and said to Hua Zhian beside him, "Sometimes a good reputation is also very important. You're so filial, good girls will come knocking on your door."
Hua Zhian was so angry he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy. He had been bringing this up since yesterday, and he had his pride too.
As for Zhou Xiaolan, who had caught up, she quickly lowered her head and stood silently to the side, meeting Hua Guangzong's all-knowing gaze.
But a sense of panic gripped him. What was going on? Why was that old man coming out with them?
Should she ignore it or go up and greet it?
Before she could figure it out, the grandfather and grandson had already walked past her...
Just moments ago, Hua Zhian was chatting and laughing with her, but now he doesn't even greet her, and his eyes seem rather cold today…
After being thoroughly brainwashed by his elder brother last night and hearing countless schemes, Hua Zhian's head is now completely numb.
Seeing Zhou Xiaolan appear in front of him again, all the coincidences he had thought of before now seemed like a joke.
With such cunning, it seems he's not entirely innocent in the matter of his younger sister's injury.
What bastard things has he done these past few days? How come his mind is so muddled?
No wonder the whole family makes fun of him; the beating he received yesterday was truly deserved.
He put the bucket and fishing rod in one hand, reached out to support Hua Guangzong, and said, "Grandpa, I'll pick you up after get off work. If you're tired, just wait for me at the factory's mailroom."
Hua Guangzong watched his performance with a cold eye and was somewhat satisfied. "I haven't fished in that river for a long time. I heard that the fish there aren't very big. I wonder if I'll have an unexpected catch after all these years."
"But even if there aren't big fish, there will definitely be small fish. You'll just have to wait and help Grandpa carry the fish."
This was a lighthearted topic, and Hua Zhian relaxed considerably. "Alright then, I wish Grandpa a bountiful catch today."
"Don't worry, I'll handle adding dishes today." Hua Guangzong was full of confidence. He hadn't fished much this year, but the weather was good and he was lucky today.

Jiang Yi brought the fish soup her uncle had cooked to the hospital early in the morning, but unexpectedly ran into Xie Dacheng there.
He stood in front of the hospital bed, looking at Yang Lan with a pleading expression, "I really know I was wrong. Look, our son has been born, you can't let him be without a father, can you?"
He had to persuade Yang Lan to remarry him today, no matter what.
These days have been absolutely terrible. The house is a mess, and nothing is going right.
He desperately needs a female master to support him, but where can he find such a suitable person in this situation?
And just yesterday I heard that Yang Lan gave birth, and it's a big, healthy boy.
The elders in the family couldn't sit still and insisted that he take the child back today no matter what.
But why don't they consider that a pledge was written back then? It's not something that can be done so easily.
The only solution now is to remarry Yang Lan, so that he can have a wife and children again.
He had already humbled himself and pleaded here for so long, but Yang Lan still ignored him with her eyes closed, which made him somewhat annoyed.
Jiang Yin, his former mother-in-law, held their son tightly, not letting him even glance at him. How could he not be furious?
"Mom, please help me persuade Yanglan. We're all family, and arguments are inevitable. I've already come to apologize."
