Ming Yunshu drank the water that was brought to him, looking on with amusement: "Keep performing, I'm watching! Let me see this touching scene of reconciliation and a harmonious family."
Ming Zhengyang felt like his head was on fire: "Ming Yunshu, do you have to be so sarcastic? Do you hate us that much that you want us to never see each other again?"
This kid has a serious case of mysophobia; he absolutely refuses to touch other people's things. Take this glass of water, for example. Since he brought it to a guest, even if the guest didn't touch it, in his mind it belonged to the guest. Whether he drank it or not, in his mind it was already dirty, and he would never drink it again. Even his own father was no exception. But he drank the water that was given to Zhu Jiabao without any concern, which made him feel terrible.
Although Ming Yunshu doesn't come back often, he always stirs things up whenever they meet. He and Yunshan always have conflicts, and he'll be unhappy for days. Sometimes he doesn't want to see him. What's infuriating is that Lao Zhu keeps saying he's biased. How could he be biased towards such a rebellious son?
Ming Yunshu said nonchalantly, "I've always been like this, full of bad intentions, and I can't stand seeing others do well. You all knew that a long time ago."
Zhu Fanfan, who had already arrived home, was very unhappy. Zhu Jiabao advised, "Little darling, some things are worth watching, and some are not. What's coming next is a private matter that the Ming family doesn't want anyone to know right now. If you hear about it, it will create a rift between you and the Ming family."
The problems of the older generation have faded a lot with the passage of time. When they are brought up again, it's a matter of time and things have changed. People are more at peace with it now. But the problems now are serious. After knowing the unpleasant side of others, how can we face them in the future?
Zhu Fanfan didn't understand: "I'm just a child, why can't I watch?"
She only heard half of this gossip, and it's torture to stop her from hearing it. She won't be able to sleep tonight, and Grandpa has to take responsibility for that.
Judging from Sun's expression, she was practically saying, "Since you've already waited outside for so long, can't you wait a little longer? What does this grudge have to do with her one-week-old baby?"
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to explain: "The Ming family's problems are very serious right now. Ming Yunshu has the same temper as you. You can't hit or scold him when he does something wrong. You have to coax him. Old Ming thinks his son is rebellious and has been trying to suppress his arrogance. Da Mei says that she is doing what's best for her own son and will stand behind Old Ming in critical moments. Xiaoxiao can't keep things under control, so Yunshu said that it won't stop anytime soon. The Ming family will be making a scene until midnight tonight. Grandpa is old and can't stay up all night. Please have pity on your grandpa!"
Old Ming was blinded by his own perspective, thinking he had treated his sons equally and wanted them to get along peacefully. He considered anyone who didn't get along as disobedient. In Da Mei's heart, Yunshan was the son of the person she respected most, so she would probably persuade the two brothers to shake hands and make peace.
However, Yun Shu is both intelligent and strong, but he wants overt favoritism. Since he can't get what he wants from the Ming family, he will most likely reveal his secret dealings with Ming Yun Shan, causing the two brothers to become completely estranged.
How the Ming family fights is their own business. If outsiders see it, the Ming family members will definitely feel uncomfortable with them, and once that discomfort arises, the conflict will begin.
Zhu Fanfan angrily lay down and said, "I'm going to sleep."
What do you mean by saying that you can't hit or scold her when she does something wrong, and you have to coax her? What did she do wrong?
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to shake Zhu Fanfan and say, "Little darling, don't be angry. Tomorrow I'll ask Yunshu what he said tonight, okay? Grandpa will give you another gold bar as an apology, alright?"
Zhu Fanfan turned around, still fuming: "You haven't given me the gold bars you promised me last time."
Zhu Jiabao remembered that he had offended his granddaughter last time, and she had promised to compensate him with a gold bar, but he hadn't delivered on that promise yet.
He quickly explained, "Grandpa forgot. The things are all in a secret room in the Zhu family's old house. The house is quite far away. I'll take you there to get them after I'm done with this busy period. Grandpa will give them all to you, okay?"
The old house contained many ancestral items, such as gold bars and money, which were all donated when they participated in the revolution. Only a few things remained. Otherwise, how could such a large enterprise as the Zhu Family Escort Agency have only a few gold bars left? That was the last of the Zhu family's assets.
Zhu Fanfan was still unhappy. He made grand promises but didn't give her anything in return; she felt it was too dry.
Zhu Fanfan only calmed down after Zhu Jiabao revealed all his family's wealth and offered it to Zhu Fanfan.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Uncle Yunshu's attitude towards you today was very strange. Does he have some connection with our family?"
Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to reply, "Back then, the two Ming brothers joined the army together, and I treated them the same. However, Ming Yunshan had too many minor flaws and lacked ability, but he was ambitious and eager to achieve results. So he made a bad move with Old Ming and took credit for Yunshan's achievements. I couldn't stand it and upheld justice, and he has always been grateful."
Back then, Yun Shu possessed immense strength and intelligence, and his fighting style was entirely based on risking his life for another, so it was normal for him to have military merits and level up quickly. However, Lao Ming felt that one of his two sons had risen too quickly while the other had accomplished nothing, and that the disparity would affect their brotherly relationship. Therefore, he wanted the two sons to share the credit equally.
After all, merit could be earned not only on the battlefield, but also through intelligence gathering and reconnaissance. When two people went out and returned with their achievements, no one would know who was the main force. At that time, there was no such thing as stealing credit; whose credit it was, it was theirs, and there was no false reporting.
This situation was absolutely unacceptable in his team. He criticized Lao Ming several times before Lao Ming finally gave up. However, Yun Shu had constant conflicts with Lao Ming and Ming Yunshan at that time, and they were constantly targeting each other. The seeds of trouble had already been sown long ago.
Old Ming, however, thought that it was because he was the one who was protecting Yun Shu, which made Yun Shu more and more confident and increasingly disobedient. He had a lot of opinions about him and Yun Shu.
Zhu Fanfan seized the opportunity to say, "Then let's go and encourage Uncle Yunshu, so he won't be bullied."
Zhu Jiabao suddenly said, "Staying up late is bad for your health. You should get some rest. I'll come and wake you up tomorrow."
Zhu Jiabao should leave quickly, or he might lose control and send Fanfan back to the Ming family.
Ever since this little girl learned to speak, whether she was angry or just talking normally, her tone was always sweet and coquettish. Perhaps it was because she was from Jiangnan that listening to her speak made one's heart soften, and one wished they could put the whole world in front of her.
The Ming family members are no match for Yun Shu; their presence will only complicate matters further.
After her grandfather passed away, Zhu Fanfan sent out her spiritual energy. It's not like she can't hear it; she has to follow up on this outcome.
The conflict within the Ming family had reached a fever pitch. Ming Zhengyang was shouting uncontrollably, "What has your older brother ever done to wrong you? He's been the only one who's ever been good to you since we were little. Are you determined to destroy him?"
There's some gossip going on, so Zhu Fanfan is all ears.
Ming Yunshu's cold voice came: "So he's my elder brother. I thought he was my master. So you also know that no one in the Ming family treats me well. Father, you really are a good father."
