Liu Yumin didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Zhu Jiabao could only say, "It's alright, I'll think about it and not provoking Master."
Liu Yumin was also helpless. The situation was so difficult back then, and the battlefield was so fierce. Her master was afraid that if she married Lao Zhu and died on the battlefield, she would become a widow. That's why he opposed it. As for Ma Yushu, she didn't want to get married. Ma Yushu was determined not to marry because of his fiancée. They were each other's shields.
I've told Lao Zhu all this several times, but he's just stubborn and won't listen.
After finishing her meal, Liu Yumin checked the time and said, "Wash the lunchbox. I'm going to treat the patients this afternoon and tell them about the New Year. If they want to catch up, wait until I'm better. Make sure you take good care of Fanfan. If she suffers any more grievances, see how I deal with you."
Faced with his wife's threat, Zhu Jiabao repeatedly promised that he would treat Fanfan like royalty. Only then did Liu Yumin leave, feeling both angry and amused.
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to push the stroller and take Fanfan to wash the lunchbox. His wife said that the child couldn't be out of sight, because she was afraid that the child would be scared if he couldn't see people. Although he knew that this was not a real child, he still did as she said. He felt that this child really needed a sense of security.
Zhu Fanfan kept her back to her grandfather the whole way. She was still angry. She had practiced making "humph" sounds all the way from her grandfather. This time she hummed several times to show her anger.
Zhu Jiabao was also quite worried. His little granddaughter kept whimpering, and anyone who didn't know better would think he was raising a little pig, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
After cleaning up the lunchbox, Zhu Jiabao pushed Zhu Fanfan into the office. Zhu Jiabao softened his tone and said, "Fanfan, don't be angry with your grandpa. Didn't we exchange the Dragon Group's secrets and your Uncle Lin's secrets to make peace?"
No wonder people used to say girls are delicate. Look, she's still angry even after all this time. She's got a really strong temper.
Zhu Fanfan was furious. That was the reconciliation they had made before. He said that she had a grudge against the ball and that the matter had not been resolved. It was hateful that she couldn't speak and couldn't reason with her grandfather.
Zhu Jiabao tapped Zhu Fanfan's back with his finger: "Fanfan—"
Zhu Fanfan ignored her and simply snorted.
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to say, "Grandpa will put on a show for you to cheer you up, okay?"
Zhu Fanfan: "Hmph!"
Zhu Jiabao said, "Let me tell you that Grandpa is still going strong in his old age. I'll show you a backflip. When I was young, I could do fifty in a row!"
After saying that, he was about to perform and quickly cleared the area around him. Zhu Fanfan saw that her grandfather was not joking and became nervous. She wanted to stop him and tell the old man to calm down. He still thought he was young!
Zhu Jiabao ignored Zhu Fanfan's frantic shaking of her head and began her performance. However, she hadn't expected to cry out in pain after just one flip, clutching her back. Zhu Fanfan was extremely worried, but all she could manage to say was, "Ahhhhhh—"
Zhu Jiabao suddenly stretched out his hand and said happily, "Hahaha... Grandpa is fine, I was just teasing you. My family has practiced martial arts for generations, how could such simple basic skills be difficult for me? Grandpa will show you right now."
After saying that, with a few "thumps" and "thumps", Zhu Jiabao completed several consecutive backflips. His movements were so smooth that it was clear he was a trained professional.
Zhu Fanfan was really angry. She was terrified just now, and her grandfather was even teasing her. Her face was puffed up with anger, and her chest was heaving.
Seeing this, Zhu Jiabao found it amusing and made a sound effect: "Quack—"
Zhu Fanfan got even angrier; with a heave of her chest, Zhu Jiabao let out a cry: "Quack—"
After a few consecutive croaks, Zhu Fanfan finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears. It was too much of a bullying. He had just scared her and then started making fun of her. How could she have such a wicked grandfather?
Zhu Jiabao only wanted to tease the child, but he went too far. He hurriedly tried to soothe the child, but Zhu Fanfan wouldn't listen and kept crying. In the dead of winter, Zhu Jiabao was so anxious that he was covered in sweat. He only calmed down after Zhu Fanfan cried until he was tired, yawned, and fell asleep.
Why is this child crying so much? Zhu Jiabao felt that he might be sad later; Fanfan was clearly holding a grudge! Thinking that his wife would definitely punish him today, he felt like crying but had no tears left.
When Zhu Fanfan woke up, it was already dark. Her grandfather was watching over her. Seeing her grandfather made Zhu Fanfan angry. She thought to herself, "Just wait until I can talk, then I'll annoy him to death."
When Zhu Jiabao saw that his granddaughter was awake, he smiled obsequiously: "My dear granddaughter, are you feeling better? Do you want some milk powder?"
Zhu Fanfan turned her head away and didn't say anything.
Zhu Jiabao said, "My dear grandson, Grandpa shouldn't have laughed at you, but you looked so funny that Grandpa couldn't help it. Don't blame Grandpa."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Could it be that you blame her?
Zhu Jiabao looked around to make sure no one was watching, and said, "If you're not angry, Grandpa will give you a gold bar as an apology, okay?"
Gold bars? Zhu Fanfan's eyes lit up. She liked them, but looking at her grandfather's appearance, he didn't seem wealthy.
Zhu Jiabao was furious: "What kind of eyes do you have? Let me tell you, the Zhu family has assets in Beijing. The state returned them to me after liberation. How could we, who run a security escort agency, not have any assets? Your grandmother also knows that your grandfather is rich."
Although he can't compare to those capitalists, he has enough money to ensure his next generation lives a comfortable life. He only has one child, Fanfan, so he's just giving it to her in advance.
Zhu Fanfan felt she couldn't argue with gold, so she chose to reconcile with her grandfather. This troubled Zhu Jiabao. It was good that his granddaughter had a hobby, but she got angry too easily. If he gave her a gold bar every time, it would be gone in no time. He had to check what else the Zhu family had left when he had time.
When Liu Yumin returned, she heard about Zhu Fanfan's crying and glared at Zhu Jiabao. Zhu Jiabao immediately backed down and said, "I was playing with Fanfan! She missed her grandma."
Zhu Fanfan nodded in agreement, and with a look of joy, wanted her grandma to hold her for the gold.
Liu Yumin refused: "I still have some things to finish and I have to go out later. You take good care of Fanfan. When Master comes back with us tonight, stay away from him and don't cause any trouble."
Zhu Jiabao said, feeling wronged, "Is this why you came back? You're criticizing me for other people's sake, and you're putting me behind everyone else. You're heartless."
Liu Yumin wanted to hit him. What kind of things did the Zhu family elders take him to the theater to listen to? He looked like a mistress being abused. But she had to give up because of work. She angrily pointed at him and said, "Wait until I'm done and go home before we talk!"
After saying that, she took her things and left. Zhu Jiabao looked at Zhu Fanfan with a wronged expression: "Look, your grandma is blaming me for another man. Does she not want me anymore?"
Zhu Fanfan: Have you two switched genders?
Zhu Jiabao retorted, "No, tonight, Master still needs me to take care of him. I'll make sure your grandmother knows my sincerity."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Sincerity that's infuriating? Grandpa's definitely up to something tonight.
