Facing the old doctor's defensive gaze, Mingyue was about to explain.
However, no one expected that at this moment, the little girl who had been holding the old man's clothes suddenly spoke.
"It's not them, it's you. It's you who harmed grandpa. You are the big bad guy." The girl's voice was still filled with tears, but her finger was pointing at her aunt hatefully.
Now that was good, Mingyue just shut up.
Ergou's eyes widened, and he was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He raised his hand and wanted to grab the girl: "You little bastard, I gave you food and drink, and this is how you repay me? I'll beat you to death, you heartless person."
When the little girl saw her like this, tears suddenly fell from her eyes and her sharp cry was instantly heard by everyone.
At this moment, the old man on the bed moved his hands. He opened his eyes with all his strength and called out indistinctly: "Tiger, Tiger Girl..."
Fortunately, Feng Lingling accidentally saw this scene, otherwise his weak voice would have been ignored by everyone.
"He's awake! The old man is awake." Feng Lingling said loudly.
Ergou's family immediately withdrew their hands guiltily, lowered their heads and did not dare to look at their father on the bed.
The old man soon discovered that something was wrong with his body. He suddenly couldn't get up, his hands and feet seemed unable to move, he couldn't speak clearly, and even people seemed blurry to him. Everything he saw had shadows.
“I, I, how come I…” The old man opened his mouth but couldn’t express his thoughts for a long time.
"Brother, you are not a young man anymore. You must not get excited again." The old doctor took his pulse, pressed the old man's legs and hands, asked about his physical condition, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I can't cure it. When Ergou comes back, ask him to take you to Huaijing for another check-up."
The old man understood what he meant, and his vision went dark in an instant, and he almost fainted again.
When the little girl saw her grandfather wake up, she hurried over, wiping her tears and saying, "Grandpa, Auntie beat me, Huniu is scared."
The old man wanted to raise his hand to hold his granddaughter's hand, but he had no strength at all. One of his hands was shaking badly. He closed his eyes in despair. He couldn't even take care of himself, so how could he protect his granddaughter in the future
Hu Niu was still young and didn't understand much. She just held her grandfather's trembling hand.
"Oh, by the way, old man, since you're awake, why don't you tell the doctor who caused you to be like this?" Feng Lingling snorted at Ergou's family, his chin raised high: "Some people repay kindness with enmity and even falsely accuse us of harming you. It's really ridiculous."
Ergou lowered his head, and now he dared not make a sound at all.
Seeing her guilty look, the old doctor knew who was right and who was wrong.
"Hmph, Ergou's family, Ergou is the most filial. When Ergou comes back, I'll see how you're going to explain to him?" The old doctor snorted coldly and said sternly.
Ergou's face was pale and his hands were twisted into knots due to nervousness.
At this moment, Mingyue suddenly looked at the old man on the bed and said, "Old man, I have finally understood today. I am afraid that your daughter-in-law cannot tolerate your granddaughter. Now that you are in this state, I guess it will not be easy for you to take care of your granddaughter in the future."
The old man looked at Mingyue after hearing the voice, and only vaguely remembered that she was a very opinionated woman with a tenacious look in her eyes. He had only one son and one daughter in his life, but unfortunately he failed to teach his daughter to have a tenacious character and failed to make her a person with an opinion, which led to his daughter listening to the gossip of those people, and she couldn't stand the gossip and jumped into the river at a young age.
It is precisely because the old man has to send off the young, and because he has already lost his daughter, that he cares more about this granddaughter. Even if this is a bastard born after his daughter was raped, the child is innocent after all, not to mention that this is his daughter's only bloodline.
Now that he has become like this, he can let go of everything, but the only thing he can't let go of is his young granddaughter.
"Please, please, Hu, Hu Niu," the old man's hands began to tremble more and more. He looked at his granddaughter reluctantly, and then looked at Mingyue pleadingly: "Take, her, away."
"You want me to take her away from here, right? You have to think it over carefully. If I take her away, I will never let her come back." Mingyue glanced at Ergou's house, then looked at the old man and said seriously.
The old man held his granddaughter's hand tightly, but said with all his strength: "Take, Tiger, Tiger Girl, go."
This was the only way out he could think of for his granddaughter.
Otherwise, with my daughter-in-law's personality and his current appearance, this family would not be able to accommodate a granddaughter.
The people in front of her were wearing fine materials, and the way they spoke and walked were not like ordinary people. They would definitely be able to give her granddaughter a better life.
Even if she can't, that's her fate.
The old man stared at Mingyue closely. Even though he couldn't see clearly, he still looked at her steadily.
Mingyue walked forward and held the little girl's hand. Finally, she nodded to the old man and promised, "Then I will do as you wish. Don't worry, I will raise her well, and she will live the life she wants in the future."
The old man smiled with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. "That's good."
Mingyue pulled the little girl to leave, but the little girl naturally didn't want to leave her grandfather. In the end, the old man kept pushing her and asking her to go, and she wiped her tears and agreed to hold Mingyue's hand.
But before leaving, Mingyue thought for a moment and asked the maid to give the old man twenty taels of silver. She then said in front of Ergou's family, "I bought Huniu with these twenty taels of silver. I will also find someone to move her household registration. You are not allowed to come and look for her or disturb her in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The old man was reluctant to accept the money at first, but he knew his daughter-in-law's character better than anyone else, and was afraid that she would regret taking Hu Niu away, so he finally accepted the money.
When Ergou's family saw so much silver, their eyes lit up and they nodded hurriedly, not remembering what Mingyue had said.
Besides, if the old man hadn't been protecting her all these years, she would have thrown that little bastard far away. She wished that little bastard would just die. How could he possibly look for her again
Of course, Ergou's family didn't know at that time that this little bastard who she despised because he ate a lot and was very strong would become the first female general in the history of this dynasty, a person she would never be able to reach.
At this moment, Huniu was just a little girl who was confused after leaving her grandfather.
