Chapter 328: Compassion Emerges
Old Master Zhou frowned as he looked at Zhou Zixu. His hands were wrapped in handkerchiefs, the sleeves of his clothes were burnt, and his face was covered in black ash. Did he go to a fire scene?
When he saw the brother and sister standing at the door, he felt even more uneasy. What was his grandson trying to do by bringing the girl home in the middle of the night?
"Grandpa, this is it..."
Zhou Zixu briefly recounted what had happened, emphasizing that Lu Sihui was now in a very dangerous situation. Although the arsonist Zhou Changjiang had been arrested, it could not be ruled out that he had accomplices, so he thought it would be safer to bring the person back.
"What? Such a big thing happened? Five houses burned down?"
Mr. Zhou was shocked after hearing this. Rural people are very simple and honest. How could they have such vicious thoughts?
"Girls, boys, sit down. I'll ask Xiao Su to make you something to eat. Just stay at my house for now. Don't think about anything."
When Mr. Zhou saw Lu Sihui and Jianguo still standing at the door, he waved them in and asked them to sit on the sofa.
Lu Sihui felt a little regretful at first. If the old man said no, where would her dignity be?
"Thank you, Grandpa."
I didn't expect this old man to be so open-minded? She bowed to the old man gratefully.
"What are you thanking me for? You are Zixu's friend. When someone is in trouble, friends should help each other. There is a vacant room in grandpa's house, you can stay there. When it is safe, you can go back."
After listening to his grandson's introduction, Grandpa Zhou felt very sympathetic towards Lu Sihui. This girl had such a bad life. She had a father like that and was almost burned to death. How could she have so many bad things happen to her?
I felt a surge of sympathy for her. Besides, maybe this would be my future granddaughter-in-law, and we would be a family sooner or later.
Lu Jianguo sat on the sofa, tensely tensing his body. He was used to hard benches and kangs, and suddenly sitting on a soft sofa, he was afraid of falling down.
After Lu Sihui sat down, she looked at the old man. His complexion looked much better. She guessed that Dr. Tang's medicine was working.
Coming so suddenly and without any gifts was a bit rude.
"Xiao Su, make two bowls of noodles."
Seeing Aunt Su walk out of the guest room, the old man gave her an order.
Aunt Su glanced at Lu Sihui, said nothing, put on an apron and walked towards the kitchen.
"Grandpa, no thanks, we're not hungry."
Lu Sihui hurriedly tried to stop Aunt Su. She always felt that Aunt Su didn't like her and there was no need to bother her.
"Eat something to calm your nerves. As long as you are okay, it's ok. If the house is destroyed, you can build another one."
Old Master Zhou comforted Lu Sihui. Zhou Zixu looked at his grandfather with gratitude. He had been worried that he would not agree, but he didn't expect that he was worrying too much.
"Zi Xu! You are busy with training missions in the army, so please don't come back recently."
Mr. Zhou felt his grandson's gaze, and when he looked at him, he gave an order in a deep voice.
He was considering Sihui. If a grown girl lived in someone else's home and there were young men in the house, there would always be gossip.
"Grandpa, I was just about to tell you about this! Sihui will be joining the art troupe in a few days. I can contact my aunt first, and I will stay in the army for the next few days."
Zhou Zixu agreed with a smile. He understood what his grandfather meant, and it just so happened that the two of them wanted to go together.
"I'll call your eldest brother tomorrow and let him stay in the army for the time being."
Old Master Zhou nodded with satisfaction. His grandson was still very obedient. He thought he would stay at home and refuse to go to the army!
Lu Sihui listened to the conversation between the father and son and thought too much. She felt that she was causing trouble for the Zhou family because Zhou Zixu and his brothers could not go home because she came to live with them.
"Grandpa, if it's inconvenient, I'd better stay in the guesthouse!"
