When Old Master Bai heard Little Baldyâs words, he immediately frowned. âAjiu, tell grandfather, who said that our Little Ajiu is living rent-free?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThis auntie.ââLittle Baldy used her little claws to grab the corner of old master Baiâs clothes. âShe even scolded little brother. I really wanted to beat her up. In the past, senior brother always said that women at the foot of the mountain were tigers. Only now do I know what a tiger looks like. I donât think Iâm wrong, but if Grandpa Bai told us that to kneel, then we kneel. Buddha Wuli said that this is called filial piety.â
Old Master Bai was stunned for a moment before he started laughing. He reached out and touched the little girlâs bald head. âOur Little Ajiu is more sensible than some adults.â As he spoke.., old Master Bai looked at Bai Zhun. âYou are older than Nine. As an older brother, there is nothing wrong with you protecting her. However, Bai Zhun, remember, do not let anyone in the family see you draw your gun. The gun in your hand is for protecting your family. Even if you want to fire it one day, you must fire it somewhere that she can not see. Do you understand?â
âYes, grandfather.â. âAs Bai Zhun said this, his legs bent down. âThis time, I was too impulsive. In the future, I will deal with it better. Nine is still young. I, Bai Zhun, brought her back. I can promise grandfather that in the future, I will follow all of grandfatherâs instructions. However, I will definitely seek revenge for the grievances that Nine has suffered. â...â
Old Master Bai strolled over. His military uniform was straight. âOf course, we will seek revenge. Itâs wrong for us to draw our guns, but I wonât accept anyone bad-mouthing this about my grandson Nine.â
âChief.âAuntie Wang only dared to speak when she saw that the atmosphere was less tense. She whispered into Old Master Baiâs ear, âLittle Ajiu is a girl.â
Old Master Bai was stunned. âWhat did you say?â
âLittle Ajiu is a girl,â Auntie Wang repeated.
Old Master Bai immediately turned his head to look at Little Baldy who was kneeling with Bai Zhun. The child was still staring at him with her big round eyes. Even her head was tilted to the left as if she was saying, âWhatâs wrong?â
âShe thinks sheâs a boy,â Auntie Wang continued to whisper to the old chief.
Old Master Bai took a deep breath and immediately picked up the child. âLittle Ajiu, listen to me. Let your brother kneel. Heâs tough so itâs fine for him to keep kneeling for a while.â
âIâm tough too.âIn order to show off her figure, Little Baldy even lifted her little arms. They were round and cute.
The Bai family had only one child for generations, and they were all sons.
When Bai Zhunâs parents were still alive, Old Master Bai had wanted them to have another granddaughter. However, the world was unpredictable.
Now that this granddaughter had finally arrived, and she was still so sweet and obedient. The main reason was that she was more loyal to Bai Zhun than anyone else.
How could Old Master Bai be unhappy? Right now, he wanted nothing more than to immediately sent for the Lin family and ask them about it in person!
âVice Commander Zhang, get them over here!â
âYes, sir.â
When she received the news, the Mrs.Lin was still playing cards in the house.
That little bit of uneasiness in the morning had long vanished into the thin air.
The Bai family couldnât possibly break off their long time relationship with the Lin family just because of a child from the countryside.
Vice commander Zhang didnât invite the Mrs. Lin at first. Instead, he sent for her husband, Lin Feng, who had once worked under Old Master Bai.
Lin Feng had returned from the army and had not idea what was going on. When he entered the Bai household, he saw Bai Zhun kneeling on the ground. He was shocked. âWhatâs going on?â
Everyone knew that Elder Bai loved little Zhun the most. Not to mention kneeling, he had never even scolded or beaten him.
In addition, Bai Zhun has always won everyoneâs approval in every thing he did.
Why did he suddenly have to kneel in the hall?
Old Master Bai cut to the chase with Lin Feng.
âBai Zhun, tell your uncle Lin what happened.â
Bai Zhun straightened his back, his voice was indifferent. âThe Lin family called Little Ajiu a country bumpkin from the village, ridiculed her for eating, called her a pig, and even spilled the soy milk she bought on her. Then they said that my Ajiu was impolite. Uncle Lin, since youâre here today, let me ask you a question. Did our Bai family get to where we are because of your Lin Family? Your wife said that the Bai family owes the Lin family a favor. If there was no Lin family, there would be no Bai family. If grandfather Lin hadnât taken a bullet for my grandfather back then, our Bai family would have been gone a long time ago.â
As soon as Lin Feng heard the first sentence, he subconsciously looked at his old chief.
When Bai Zhun finished speaking, Lin Fengâs heart thumped heavily!
Elder Bai did not think that things would turn out like this. His expression also turned cold. âLin Feng, since your wife brought this up, letâs have a talk. Go! Please send for Madam Lin!â
When Lin Feng heard elder Bai use the word âpleaseâ, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
Vice commander Zhang had been waiting for elder Bai to say that. In less than five minutes, he had brought her to the Bai family.
Lin Feng tried his best to explain to elder Bai.
After all, if it werenât for the Bai familyâs help, with the Lin familyâs background, they wouldâve had nothing.
Grandfather Lin had been elder Baiâs aide a long time ago.
At that time, the Lin family was extremely poor.
Old Master Bai admired Grandpa Linâs earnestness and promoted him up again and again.
It was true that Grandpa Lin took a bullet for old master Bai.
However, adjutants were supposed to take bullets for the chief. It was their duty.
If it wasnât for Old Master Bai, Grandpa Lin would not have been able to stay in the army and nor rise to fame in the future.
Others might not know about these things, but the older generation knew. However, these old chiefs only told their successors.
Therefore, Mrs. Lin did not know. She only heard some rumors that added with her own imagination made up a twisted version of the story.
She thought that the Lin and Bai familyâs close relationship was a result of Grandpa Lin saving Grandpa Baiâs life.
In fact, it was the complete opposite.
The Lin family had relied on the Bai family for so many years.
Mrs. Lin was also smart. When she heard that Grandpa Bai asked for find her, she began crying before she even entered the house. Sobbing, she said, âThe two families have been close for so many years. Even on the account of Elder Lin, Bai Zhun should not have treated me like this!â
When Lin Feng heard this from inside, he wanted nothing more than to rush to the door and shut this womanâs mouth!
After Mrs. Lin entered, she saw that Lin Feng was also kneeling there. Thinking that the Bai Family owed the Lins a favor, she said, âOld Chief, how has our Lin family let down your Bai Family? I admit that Iâve gone overboard today, but after all, Elder Lin is still here. You canât just forget about your old comrade!â
After hearing these words, old man Bai laughed coldly. âI finally know why my grandson pulled out his gun. Lin Feng, youâve really married a great woman!â
