Yan Xiaoxiao told the truth: "Yunshu will be coming today to have dinner at the Zhu family's house."
Lin Damei felt extremely distressed upon hearing this. She had no idea that, without her noticing, her son had contemplated the idea of killing the entire family, and had even prepared poison. If Lao Ming hadn't suddenly asked them to join the army, he would have already taken action.
She had known for a long time that her son was close to the Zhu family. Zhu Jiabao would beat and scold him, and Yumin had even punished him by making him kneel. She had objected to this before, but she only found out yesterday that it was because they discovered that their son wanted to die together with them, and they were so angry that they intervened.
In the hearts of the Zhu couple, their son was outstanding and wise, a rare talent, and they taught him with great care, so they were generous with their praise. However, in Lao Ming's eyes, he was just a rebellious son, and he would beat and scold him at the drop of a hat. If it were her, she would also be close to the Zhu family.
Yan Xiaoxiao was also unhappy. She only found out last night that her husband had suffered so much. She saw him as a mature and responsible man and never knew he had suffered so much.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were speechless. Zhu Fanfan didn't want to disturb their grief, so she slapped Ming Laosan away when he came over. The pain made Ming Laosan cry, and Yan Xiaoxiao quickly comforted the child.
"You've provoked Fanfan again! Let me tell you, from now on Fanfan is your older sister, and you have to protect her. How can you protect her if you're always crying? Be firm!"
Zhu Fanfan: ...Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
Lin Damei: ...She doesn't seem so sad anymore.
Yan Xiaoxiao asked, "Mom, do you want to take Fanfan to chat with your old friends? I'll tidy up at home. Uncle Zhu is a grown man, so the house must be..."
It was very clean; she forgot there was also Lin Wu.
Lin Damei refused: "I'm not in the mood. I used to chat with a group of old girlfriends to relieve boredom, but now I feel terrible and don't want to go out."
The two spent the day in this rather uninteresting manner. Zhu Fanfan didn't want to make things difficult for herself and had a lot of fun until evening, when Ming Yunshu arrived before it got dark.
Ming Yunshu took over the task of caring for the child and handed the things in his hands to Yan Xiaoxiao: "I bought some meat and vegetables for dinner. You can cook first, and we'll wait for Uncle Zhu to come back."
I picked up my little one and put him on the sofa. It's getting a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings now, so even though my little one is free-roaming, I can't just leave him on the ground anymore.
After it was completely dark, Zhu Jiabao returned. He was not surprised to see Ming Yunshu when he opened the door. Lin Wu also greeted him and prepared to tidy up the house, but found it was very clean and did not need to be tidied up.
Zhu Jiabao spoke directly: "We're all on the same side, no need to beat around the bush, just say it."
Ming Yunshu didn't mince words: "I discussed it with Xiaoxiao, and we want to adopt Fanfan as our goddaughter."
Zhu Jiabao raised an eyebrow, his thoughts coincided with Ming Yunshu's. As long as Ming Yunshu followed the right path, he would eventually succeed and become a support for Fanfan.
Ming Yunshu directly expressed his sincerity: "Although I am not able to resolve Fanfan's matter right now, give me some time, and I will definitely achieve something. I guarantee that as long as I am here, her matter will always be my top priority."
After all the Zhu siblings died in battle, he planned to have his third son adopted into the Zhu family so that the Zhu family line would not end. Now that the Zhu family had its own heir, the only thing he could do was to ensure that she was safe, happy, and healthy as she grew up.
Zhu Jiabao scoffed at Ming Yunshu's confidence: "You? After how impulsive you were last night, how could I entrust Fanfan to you?"
Yesterday's argument was so intense, anyone who isn't deaf could hear it. Aren't you afraid of being arrested as evidence if you reveal how you've harmed others?
Ming Yunshu explained, "I am certain that even if Ming Yunshan and my father found out, they wouldn't do anything, or rather, they couldn't do anything. That's why I dare to say that the Ye family is not worth fearing."
Ming Yunshan wasn't well-liked at work, and he just added fuel to the fire. Once things were out in the open, there was nothing anyone could do about it. He hadn't broken the law, and what the Ye family did was true; it was just that someone was cleaning up the mess. If they dared to retaliate, he would show them what a warning was and what real action was.
Lin Wu said, "You're just a junior staff member now. When will you finally get ahead? Uncle Zhu will still be energetic by then, so he'll naturally be able to protect Fanfan. Besides, with Uncle Zhu protecting her, Fanfan might even achieve more than you. How will you protect her then?"
Ming Yunshu knew Lin Wu, but had never met him. He heard that Lin Wu was there to take care of the elderly on behalf of Zhu Erge. He promised, "I will definitely have a place in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within three years. That is my sincerity."
There are too many capable people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and his peers are also very outstanding. If he wants to climb the ranks, he will naturally have to put in a lot of effort, and there are certainly quick ways to catch the eye of the leaders.
However, he didn't want to. The officials in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were all veteran revolutionaries, and they were all upright and honest. He would never use insidious means to gain attention. His principle was that he would not take the initiative to attack unless provoked.
As for the rest of his colleagues, everyone was working hard for China to enter the United Nations. They were united in their efforts. Now the United Nations denied my country's legitimate rights in the United Nations, and powerful countries imposed economic sanctions on my country. The diplomatic mission was arduous and far-reaching. No one was engaging in infighting at this time. He liked the environment of working together.
Zhu Jiabao agreed: "I knew you made the right choice by joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When your Aunt Yumin comes back, we'll set up a table and invite our close relatives to have a drink together."
Ming Yunshu couldn't believe it: "Uncle Zhu, you agreed?"
Zhu Jiabao smiled and said, "You are the child I raised myself, so of course I trust you."
Of the Zhu family's four children, only Yun Shu had mastered the secret manual. Besides talent, the Zhu family's secret manual also requires extremely strong perseverance and a sincere heart. If the manual didn't contain some secrets unknown to others, how could it be called a secret manual?
Ming Yunshu was overjoyed: "Uncle Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely treat Fanfan as my own daughter. She will always be number one in my family. Uncle Zhu, let's have a drink together today."
Zhu Jiabao didn't refuse: "Just one cup is enough. I have to go to work early tomorrow."
Ming Yunshu said mysteriously, "Uncle Zhu, this is fruit wine that I specially asked someone to buy. It won't make you drunk."
Zhu Jiabao's interest was piqued: "Who bought it from? Is it safe for women to drink?"
His wife loves to drink. These days, people are almost starving, so who would still brew wine from grain? If his wife finds out, she'll definitely ask someone to teach her how to brew wine, and she'll praise him then. Just thinking about it makes him happy.
Ming Yunshu said, "Uncle Zhu, don't worry. It's even better if the woman drinks it. I've already found out about that family. They've been brewing wine for generations and are all very skilled veterans. It's just that they can't get enough grain right now, so they can only brew a little. They only keep a little for their own consumption and don't sell it. I had to pull some strings to get it. I also asked if they could teach others, but I don't know the conditions yet. Those ancestral crafts have some unknown rules."
