Grandpa Guan then opened his eyes, without even looking at his son and daughter-in-law, and said coldly: "Are they worried about me? If they were worried about me, they wouldn't have gone abroad for decades and not come back. When they heard that I was dying, they hurried back. I think they have other intentions."
Guan's father hurriedly explained: "Dad, how can you say that? You are my dad, it is normal for me to care about you."
"Humph!"
Old Master Guan snorted twice, then called out, "Chunming, where's Xiaozao?"
Han Chunming ran over quickly and said, "Master, Xiaozao has gone back to cook for you and will be here soon."
"Okay, I get it, come and help me get to bed."
"okay."
Han Chunming hurried over, laid the old man flat, and covered him with a quilt.
Guan Xiaoguan said, "Grandpa, I think it would be better if we let our restaurant cook and send it to you. It would take too much time for Meng Xiaozao to run back and forth like this."
Old Master Guan said, "Forget about the chef from your restaurant. Who knows if the dishes are fresh or not? I'll let Xiao Zao cook. I trust her cooking."
"Grandpa~"
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Please leave now, all the strangers. Don't stand here and get in the way."
Old Master Guan shouted loudly for a few words, then closed his eyes, looking like he was going to sleep.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present knew that he was talking about his son and daughter-in-law.
Zhou Chen had hardly ever seen Grandpa Guan treat anyone like this, so it was conceivable how much this son and daughter-in-law had hurt him.
Although Grandpa Guan sometimes has a strange temper, Zhou Chen knows that the bad relationship between the daughter-in-law and the father-in-law is mainly due to the problem of disrespect for the daughter-in-law, and the second is the problem of Grandpa Guan's son.
He only had one son in his life, and he ended up having to deal with something like this. Fortunately, Mr. Guan and Han Chunming were filial to him, otherwise he would have suffered in his later years.
As for Guan Xiaoguan, forget it. As a granddaughter, to put it bluntly, she is not even as good as her grandson-in-law, let alone her apprentice Han Chunming.
All she has left is a mouth, so expecting her to serve Mr. Guan is just wishful thinking.
Zhou Chen said hello to Mr. Guan and left.
In the next few days, Zhou Chen went to the hospital once, and not long after, Grandpa Guan was discharged from the hospital.
In the villa, Zhou Chen and Han Chunming sat together drinking tea, Li Yuejin sat aside, while Meng Xiaozao and Han Chunyan went to the kitchen to cook.
Li Yuejin and Meng Xiaozao originally lived in Grandpa Guan's yard, but after Guan's father and mother came back, they told Han Chunming that Meng Xiaozao no longer needed to serve Grandpa Guan, so Meng Xiaozao and her family of three, who had nowhere to go, temporarily moved into Zhou Chen's former single-entrance courtyard house.
During the few days that Grandpa Guan was hospitalized, Meng Xiaozao and Han Chunming took care of him. Guan's parents, including Guan Xiaoguan, only visited him occasionally and would leave the hospital after only a few minutes.
However, today is the day that Grandpa Guan is discharged from the hospital, so Guan's father, mother, and Guan Xiaoguan started their performance. They did not allow Han Chunming and Meng Xiaozao to go over to help. They helped Grandpa Guan with the discharge procedures and sent him back.
"Well, Zhou Chen, your tea-making skills are getting better and better. Even someone like me who doesn't drink much tea thinks it tastes good."
Han Chunming sipped his tea, then said to Zhou Chen with emotion.
Although Zhou Chen has not received any special training in tea art, he has learned it on his own over the years and has developed his own methods.
Of course, a big part of the reason why the tea is brewed so well is that the tea leaves are good enough.
Zhou Chen put down the cup and said, "It's not delicious at all. You just drank it in one gulp, like drinking alcohol. How can you taste it?"
Han Chunyan looked at the cup Zhou Chen placed on the table with jealous eyes: "Zhou Chen, you are definitely the first one to drink tea from a Doucai Chicken Cup. Aren't you afraid of bumping into this treasure?"
"This Doucai Chicken Cup was originally made to be used as a drinking vessel. It doesn't make much difference if I use it to drink tea now."
Of course a treasure is a treasure, and Zhou Chen must care about it very much, but it would be a waste to keep it in the system backpack or the treasure room, so he took it out to use.
"You're just handing your master over to the Guan family. Can you rest assured?"
Speaking of this, Han Chunming's face darkened, and he said sadly, "What can I do? They are his biological sons, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters. I am just an apprentice, and we have no blood relationship at all. Even if I want to take care of them, but they won't let me, what can I say? I have no rights at all."
"Aren't you afraid that they will abuse your master?"
"Do they dare? I am worried about those people from the Guan family, but Taozi is there. With him around, this situation will never happen."
Although he was forced by Guan's father and mother to be unable to take care of his master, he secretly instructed Li Chengtao and he still trusted Li Chengtao very much.
Zhou Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Don't tell me the truth. I think you are doing it on purpose. You know very well that your master will not let them take care of him, so you let him go so easily. Are you waiting for them to come to you on their own initiative?"
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. You are right. Don't they want to take care of the old man? I will let them try. With people like them, it would be strange if they can serve the old man well. Even the old man won't let them serve him."
On the surface, Han Chunming did not have any dispute with Guan's father and mother, but in fact, he looked down on them in his heart.
He has followed Grandpa Guan for decades and knows very well what kind of people that couple is, especially the daughter-in-law Yu Jinxian. With a woman like this, no matter what kind of family it is, there will be no peace in life.
Zhou Chen reminded: "You, I know you are angry, but you still have to be careful. I can see that the old man is sick this time and his mental state is not very good. He is likely to have wild thoughts. You still have to accompany him more and do some ideological work on him."
"Really?" Han Chunming looked nervous.
"I'm just reminding you to pay attention to why the old man's son and daughter-in-law came back from afar. The old man knows it in his heart, and you must know it in your heart too, but no matter what, let's make the old man feel better now."
"I understand what you mean. I will definitely pay attention to it."
At this time, Meng Xiaozao's man Li Yuejin quietly approached and expressed his opinion: "Fifth brother, I think they just think that the old man is sick and dying, so they came back to grab the inheritance. Don't you think they are really shameless? They didn't take care of him for a day, and now something happened, they want to come back to grab the family property. They are such mean people."
Han Chunming glared at him and said, "Just say this now, don't say nonsense again in the future."
"Yes, yes, Fifth Brother, I know, I'm just speaking up for you."
"time to eat."
Han Chunyan and Meng Xiaozao came out of the kitchen.
Han Chunming and Meng Xiaozao did not stay at Zhou Chen's house for long. In the evening, Li Chengtao called them, and then they packed up and went to Grandpa Guan's courtyard again.
But just a few days later, Zhou Chen suddenly received a call from Han Chunming, saying that Grandpa Guan was missing.
Zhou Chen was not surprised to hear the news, but felt sad that it still happened.
He had reminded Han Chunming before, but now it seems that there was no effect, and Mr. Guan is still hiding.
He felt that the fear of being cremated was only part of the reason why Mr. Guan hid himself, but more importantly, he probably didn't want to face his son and daughter-in-law.
He didn't want to die yet, he still wanted to live, but if his daughter-in-law stayed in front of him, he felt that he would be angry to death soon.
Even for a man as open-minded as him, when faced with such household chores, the best solution he could think of was to find some quiet time.
Old Master Guan disappeared in the early morning. Han Chunming, Meng Xiaozao and the four members of the Guan family have been searching for him for several hours.
It was not until the early morning when the body was still not found, so Han Chunming notified Zhou Chen and asked him to help send someone to look for it.
Zhou Chen agreed to Han Chunming's request, but did not go looking for him in a high-profile manner. Instead, he symbolically searched for a few rounds and then went to meet up with Han Chunming.
Although he had watched the TV series, he didn't know where Grandpa Guan was hiding. But even if he knew, he would go there quietly instead of taking others with him.
The group of people searched until the afternoon, and were all exhausted, but still had not found Grandpa Guan, so they had to go back home one by one.
Zhou Chen originally wanted to go back, but Han Chunming insisted on taking him to go to Grandpa Guan's yard again, saying that he was going to look for clues.
As soon as I returned to the gate of the courtyard, I heard scolding from inside.
"You said you took care of people, but you didn't even notice that the person was missing. If something happened, I would sue you in court."
"Woooooooo..."
Hearing the crying, Zhou Chen and Han Chunming's faces changed. They quickly walked into the courtyard and saw Guan Xiaoguan's mother Yu Jinxian scolding Meng Xiaozao.
Meng Xiaozao lowered her head and cried continuously after being scolded, looking very pitiful.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Han Chunming was already in a bad mood because of the disappearance of his old man. When he saw Yu Jinxian not going out to look for someone but scolding Meng Xiaozao here, his anger suddenly exploded and he shouted at Yu Jinxian.
Yu Jinxian felt that she was right and was not afraid of Han Chunming at all. She shouted loudly, "Am I wrong? She was the one who lost the person. She was paid but did not fulfill her responsibilities. The person is missing. It is not her fault. Whose fault is it?"
Han Chunming was furious. He pointed at Yu Jinxian and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again. Say it again."
"Why are you so fierce..."
"Ah, ah, Chunming, Chunming, calm down, calm down."
When Guan's father saw the two quarreling, he quickly stood in between them and said, "Chunming, my wife is just anxious and that's why she speaks without thinking. Don't be angry, she has no bad intentions, really."
Yu Jinxian didn't know Han Chunming, but he did know that Han Chunming was a well-known gangster in the alleys when he was a child.
What's more, he learned from his daughter that Han Chunming is now a big boss with great power, so it is better not to offend him.
Han Chunming gave face to Guan's father and suppressed his anger, but Yu Jinxian was still muttering there.
"I've said it before, even if you're looking for a nanny, you should look for a professional one. A professional nanny at least won't get you lost. Look at what's happened now."
"Say it again, Yu Jinxian, if you have the guts to say it again, believe it or not, I will spank you."
Han Chunming's anger suddenly erupted again, and he was about to rush towards Yu Jinxian, scaring Yu Jinxian so much that he took several steps back in panic. Guan's father also desperately hugged Han Chunming.
Just at this moment, Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan walked into the courtyard. When they saw this situation, they hurried over.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
"Chunming, calm down."
Li Chengtao hugged Han Chunming. Although he didn't know what was going on, when he saw Han Chunming so angry and was stopped by Guan's father, he roughly guessed the reason.
Han Chunming was still furious, and he yelled, "Yu Jinxian, I'm telling you, if it weren't for the old man and Guan Xiaoguan, I wouldn't let you go today."
Although Yu Jinxian was a chatterbox, she didn't dare to argue with Han Chunming when she saw that Han Chunming looked like he wanted to kill someone.
But in front of her daughter and son-in-law, she felt embarrassed, so she looked at Meng Xiaozao unconsciously.
"Why are you still crying here? You are the one who lost the person, why don't you go find him quickly?"
Meng Xiaozao, who was scolded again, cried even more sadly.
Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Xiao Zao, pack your things. You are going to stay at my place today."
Meng Xiaozao stopped crying, looked at Zhou Chen, and choked up, "But, but Uncle Guan hasn't been found yet..."
"This has nothing to do with you. The old man left on his own. It's not your responsibility. Go and pack your things." Zhou Chen comforted.
After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Meng Xiaozao wiped her tears and prepared to pack her things.
But when Yu Jinxian saw Meng Xiaozao was about to leave, he quickly stopped her and said, "Who said you can leave? You can't leave. The person hasn't been found yet. You can't go anywhere."
Meng Xiaozao stopped and looked at Zhou Chen, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Chen said again: "Don't worry about her, I told you to follow me, so just follow me."
Yu Jinxian was angry and questioned Zhou Chen dissatisfiedly: "Who are you? This is our family affair. What qualifications do you have to interfere?"
Seeing that Yu Jinxian was about to fight with Zhou Chen again, Li Chengtao and Guan Xiaoguan suddenly became nervous.
Not to mention that Zhou Chen had helped them before, just based on Zhou Chen's identity, they couldn't afford to offend him.
Li Chengtao quickly grabbed his mother-in-law and said, "Mom, this is Chunming's brother-in-law, and he is also a very good friend of Grandpa. He is qualified."
Zhou Chen walked up to Yu Jinxian with a sullen face and said coldly, "You are right. I have no right to intervene in your family affairs, but I am Meng Xiaozao's brother-in-law. She is my sister. If she is bullied, I have to intervene. Do you understand?"
Yu Jinxian muttered, "I'm not wrong. It was her responsibility in the first place."
"Then I'll tell you, the old man is missing, and she has nothing to do with him. She is only responsible for his basic living, and she is not his guardian. Also, Xiaozao has taken care of Old Man Guan, and she has never received a penny from your Guan family."
"You're going to sue her, right? You can go now. Not to mention this situation, the court won't rule Xiaozao responsible. Even if it does, she can appeal. Don't you like to use the foreign way to deal with things? Then let's have some fun. No matter how you sue, we'll fight to the end."
Zhou Chen's eyes were cold and he exuded a powerful aura, which put Yu Jinxian under great pressure.
Yu Jinxian was so frightened that his lips trembled: "You, how can you be so rude."
Zhou Chen sneered, "Courtesy should be given to people who know how to be polite. People like you don't deserve it. Now I understand why the old man would rather hide than stay here. He just doesn't want to see you. It's unfortunate for him to have a daughter-in-law like you."
"You, how can you insult me?"
Yu Jinxian was so angry that one Buddha was born, two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he stomped his feet.
"Are you considered a human being?"
Guan's father was furious and Guan Xiaoguan couldn't listen any more.
"Zhou Chen, you're going too far."
Zhou Chen turned back suddenly: "Shut up too, I'm in a bad mood, don't mess with me."
Even Guan Xiaoguan, who was fearless, was frightened when he saw Zhou Chen's angry eyes.
Although Zhou Chen had never killed anyone, he had at least witnessed scenes of murder. In addition, he had been in a high position for many years, so once that kind of aura erupted in anger, it would be easy for ordinary people to be frightened.
Li Chengtao was also shocked, but he was more worried about his wife, so he walked over to Guan Xiaoguan and stopped her.
"Xiao Zao, go pack your things. I'll wait for you outside."
"Oh well."
