Grandma Ke sat down again with a thud, and even held onto her mother's hand to stop her from doing anything.
The old lady stared at Ke Meiyu's face, unable to discern any other expression from that naturally sweet smile, and couldn't help but feel uneasy. "Bao'er, what are you thinking?"
Ke Meiyu sighed softly, "Grandpa and Grandma, things aren't as you think."
"Grandpa Zhao has reunited with his granddaughter, but for some reason, he didn't recognize her correctly."
The Ke family was stunned. The old lady asked in confusion, "No, Bao'er, are you saying that Old Zhao came back to pick up his granddaughter, but picked up the wrong one? How could he have picked up the wrong one? We haven't moved, and your grandfather hasn't changed his name."
“He was very busy at the time and couldn’t take a long vacation, so he entrusted the matter to a reliable subordinate who was visiting his hometown,” Ke Meiyu said.
Well, the two elderly people in the Ke family, who had just started to feel angry, suddenly lost their target. Instead, they felt that Zhao Sangen, the old squad leader, was also unlucky enough to be taken advantage of and raised someone else's child.
The Ke family did not mistreat Ke Meiyu; they cherished her like a treasure. However, the rural environment was such that they had money but nowhere to spend it, and they dared not spend it openly.
If Bao'er hadn't been so lucky to find such an outstanding young man as Ying Yan, she would probably be toiling in the fields by now, raising a bunch of kids and feeding chickens and pigs at home.
They hadn't even had a chance to lament how to face Old Master Zhao.
As a result, the person brought their belongings to the door.
Grandpa Zhao and Grandpa Ke stared at each other for a long time, tears welling up in their cloudy eyes. They stepped forward and hugged each other tightly, patting each other on the shoulder.
"Hiroko!"
"Old squad leader!"
The two were so excited that it took them a long time to calm down. Old Master Zhao's eyes were almost fixed on Ke Meiyu. It is said that nephews resemble uncles and nieces resemble aunts. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she resembled his youngest daughter who had died in childbirth after marrying far away.
"This," he asked Old Master Ke, his voice trembling as he suppressed his anticipation.
Grandpa Ke nodded emphatically, "This is your Zhao family's granddaughter, the one with a butterfly on her left shoulder."
Grandpa Zhao was moved, somewhat at a loss, and indignant at being deceived. "Hongzi, more than twenty years ago, didn't anyone come to our house to pick up my granddaughter?"
The old woman replied, shaking her head heavily, "No, the village is only so big. Every household has someone at home except for a few days during the busy summer and autumn farming seasons."
“Even if no one is home, we would still know if a stranger suddenly came to the village.”
"Let alone at home, even if a family in the village loses a daughter, can they hide it from the neighbors?"
"So I don't know where the person you sent found a granddaughter for you."
Old Master Zhao was so angry that he kept stabbing the ground with his cane. He was actually in good health, but he used the cane more to take advantage of his age and to bully the younger generation.
He uses it very easily, especially at home. He was so excited today that he forgot to put it down.
However, he does need some support, otherwise he fears that the stimulation will be too much for him to stand or sit still.
"Child, Grandpa will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!" Old Master Zhao said through gritted teeth, and without lingering any longer, he stood up and walked out.
“Hongzi, let’s have a drink and chat another day, old brothers. I need to go back and investigate what happened back then.”
The Ke family saw him off at the door, but worried about him, they asked Ke Meiyu to escort him to the front door.
After all, the old man is getting on in years, and there are few people in the Zhao family who truly care about him. It's good enough if they don't kick him when he's down.
Once outside, Grandpa Zhao was at a loss for what to do with his hands and feet. He kept glancing at his granddaughter out of the corner of his eye, and his mouth kept moving.
Thinking back to when he first met Ke Meiyu, he immediately went up to her and asked for the medicinal wine, never showing any politeness. He never thought deeply about why he did this, assuming it was just a junior's way of speaking to him, and happily thought he had made a close friend.
Little did they know that this was the pull of their bloodline!
Looking back now, he feels ashamed to face his granddaughter.
Will his beloved granddaughter think that he is too cold and heartless towards his family and doesn't want to acknowledge her as his old man at all?
“Well, Yu Bao’er, Grandpa isn’t actually a bad person to his family. It’s just that he’s very disappointed in your uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts and uncles, and your brothers and sisters.”
He couldn't help but explain cautiously, "I'm afraid they'll have too high a starting point and suffer a lot later on."
Ke Meiyu nodded, feeling a pang of sadness and gratitude as she saw the old man looking at her pitifully. "You don't need to do this, I know. You are a great hero, full of love and righteousness."
“You must have your own reasons for doing this, you don’t need to explain to me. Just do what you want to do. Even if I’m not your granddaughter, I still hope you live a wealthy and comfortable life.”
The old man chuckled foolishly, "Having a granddaughter is so comforting."
Ko Mi-yu...
The Zhao family has no shortage of granddaughters. Is the old man just being overly idealistic?
She took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket. "This is the Qi-Nourishing Pill I made. Try it first. Take one pill a day for ten days as one course of treatment. Rest for five days, then do another course of treatment. It can get rid of some minor ailments in your body."
"The medicine is mild and has almost no side effects, making it very suitable for veterans who have retired from the military."
The old man nodded repeatedly, took the pill, and without any hesitation, popped it into his mouth.
From the moment she acquired the space, Ke Meiyu knew that everything has its pros and cons. So after some internal struggle, she couldn't resist the temptation and became a prisoner of the system and the space.
However, she had a vague plan from the beginning, trying to enrich herself as much as possible and be prepared to separate the system and space at any time.
Her medical skills were honed with the help of the space and the system.
