Chu Jingyu once again brought the three Gu brothers to Old Man Zheng's house.

When Old Man Zheng learned of their decision, he happily went to take Gu Shenji's hand.

"Haha, that's great! You'll be my grandson-in-law from now on. After I'm gone, you'll have to take good care of my precious granddaughter."

"I'm still a child myself, I don't know how to take care of people."

Gu Shenji pushed his hand away.

Old Zheng said, "How can someone so tall be considered a child? You're several years older than my granddaughter. Actually, you're the one who's getting the better deal."

"Pshaw, I wouldn't even want this cheap price from you."

Gu Shenji retorted in a low voice.

Old Zheng glared at him.

He chickened out again.

The main reason was that they were afraid of Old Man Zheng, who refused to treat their younger brother's eyes.

"Alright, alright, I promise you, I'll take care of your granddaughter from now on. Could you get my brother treated? Let's take care of that first, okay?"

"Come in, I've already prepared the plaster."

Old Zheng invited them into his home.

Four people went in.

The house, which was not big to begin with, was so cluttered with miscellaneous items that there was simply no place to stand.

It's somewhat better that Gu Shenqing can't see, but Gu Shenji is almost disgusted to the point of vomiting.

I really don't know how they manage to live in such a chaotic place.

"grandfather."

A weak, kitten-like voice came from the corner.

There was a small bed over there, covered with a mosquito net.

However, the mosquito net has been patched several times, and what was originally white is now dark.

These kinds of things are only seen in period dramas; they're no longer seen in real life.

"You really do have a granddaughter?"

Chu Jingyu asked in surprise.

Old Zheng said, "Of course, would I lie? You sign this agreement first, put your fingerprints on it, and then I'll put the plaster on the child."

“I’m the eldest in the family, so I’ll sign this agreement.”

Gu said carefully.

Old Zheng chuckled, "You can't be the only one signing; they all have to sign too. And Officer Chu, you have to sign as well. If you dare to break the agreement, even if I die and become a ghost, I won't let you go; I'll curse you."

"Alright, I used to be a policeman, do you think I'd believe this? But I'll sign it anyway, you should hurry up and get your child's eyes treated."

Chu Jingyu interrupted him impatiently.

Old Zheng wasn't angry. After they signed, he carefully put the paper into his pocket.

While Old Man Zheng was applying the plaster to Gu Shenqing, Chu Jingyu walked over to the mosquito net and lifted it.

There really is a little girl inside.

Her hair was long, but it was also messy; she hadn't washed it for who knows how many days.

His face was also very dirty; all you could see was his pair of eyes, which were truly large, big, and bright.

He lifted the mosquito net, and the girl was startled, shrinking to one side.

Old Zheng said yesterday that the child is eight years old, but looks as weak as a four or five-year-old.

"grandfather."

The little girl called out again in a panicked tone.

Old Zheng said, "Niu Niu, don't be afraid. This is Grandpa's guest, and he will be your family in the future."

“Old Zheng, look what you’ve raised your child to be like! Does the community even know you have a granddaughter like this? This won’t do. You’ll raise her to death. Is she still not in school by now that she’s all grown up? The community’s investigation is too lax. They didn’t even know about this. I’m going to find their leaders. Even sending this child to an orphanage would be better than having her with you.”

Chu Jingyu, a father with a daughter, was furious to see the little girl so pitiful.

He kept nagging while simultaneously making a phone call.

Old Zheng quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't make the call. Niu Niu is doing fine with me. I'm her grandfather. How can you send her to an orphanage? How come the community doesn't know? The community does know. It's just that I don't want her to go to school. She used to go to school, but people bullied her. I can't let her be bullied."

"Just to prevent her from being bullied, you're keeping her confined at home? You said it yourself, she'll be part of our family from now on, and as her uncle, I have the right to send her back to school."

Chu Jingyu's attitude was firm.

Fortunately, Old Zheng was only worried about his granddaughter being bullied; he wasn't a completely unreasonable old stubborn man.

"If you can find her a good school, I'd be happy to let her go. But you have to promise that she won't be bullied."

"Of course."

Chu Jingyu guarantees this.

He beckoned the little girl out.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still came out.

When it's sitting, it's hunched over, and it looks really small.

However, when he stands up, he is quite tall, but he is too thin.

His thin, bony appearance was heartbreaking to see.

Chu Jingyu, a doting father, simply couldn't bear to see the little girl like this.

My eyes welled up with tears from heartache.

After applying the plaster to Gu Shenqing, Old Man Zheng suggested that the grandfather and grandson move to a different place.

“That’s great. Your child not only needs plasters but also acupuncture. Actually, it would be best if he stayed here with me until he’s better, then we can take him back. I don’t think children from wealthy families like yours would be comfortable in my house. If you’re willing to give me a nice place to stay, I certainly won’t refuse.”

"Pack up... never mind, don't pack anything, let's just leave like this!"

Chu Jingyu looked at the pile of trash in the house and felt there was nothing to clean up, so he told the grandfather and grandson to just come with them.

Chu Jingyu stopped at a shopping mall on the way and bought a lot of clothes and supplies for little girls.

He raised Chu Zhongyou single-handedly, so he has the most authority to speak on how to raise a daughter.

They made another phone call and summoned a female housekeeper to help bathe and groom the little girl.

The two-bedroom, two-living-room house is for Old Zheng and his little girl.

The little girl was brought out of her room by the housekeeper.

The little girl looked clean and tidy, with her hair neatly combed and tied in braids.

Chu Jingyu smiled and said, "Now that's more like a little girl. The little girl is quite pretty, so clean and cute."

"Humph."

Gu Shenji gave a displeased snort.

In his opinion, she wasn't cute at all; how could she be as cute as his little sister Nian Nian?

The thought that this young girl would become his wife made him angry and unhappy.

Old Zheng let Gu Shenqing stay here.

Therefore, Gu Shenjin asked the housekeeper to stay and take care of the three of them.

In addition, a bodyguard was assigned to guard the area.

How long will it take to see results?

Gu Shenjin asked Old Man Zheng.

"At least a month."

Old Zheng answered.

Gu Shenjin certainly couldn't stay in the capital and wait for a whole month.

So, he discussed it with Chu Jingyu.

He first took Zhou Yining back to Jiangcheng, and then asked the Chu family to help take care of her here.

A month later, Gu Shenjin came to pick him up.

"elder brother."

Gu Shenqing came downstairs and called out to Gu Shenjin from afar.

Gu Shenjin was slightly taken aback, but quickly became excited and switched places with Zhou Jing.

He wanted to be sure whether he had really seen it or if it was just a coincidence that someone was shouting in his direction.

"Brother, don't switch seats with Brother Zhou!"

Gu Shenqing said with a smile.
