Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 447 Zhou Family
After Zhou Guicheng learned about what happened to the old Mu family, he rushed to the town hospital early the next morning.

"Uncle Mu, why are you so confused? If you die, how can you be fair to Feiyan?" Zhou Guicheng was heartbroken.

Old Mu's fever had subsided by now. He drank a bowl of porridge in the morning and felt much better.

He looked at Zhou Guicheng, who had a sad face, and smiled.

"Your aunt is gone too. What's the point of me living?"

"Uncle Mu, you can't think like that. There is hope only when people are alive. You... don't you want to catch the murderer who killed Feiyan? Don't you want to avenge her?" Zhou Guicheng looked at Old Mu and said.

Old Mu hid his hands under the quilt, clutching the sheets tightly, with a sad expression on his face.

"Of course I want to, I dream about it, but so many years have passed, even the police can't find the murderer, what can I do..."

He had a look of grief on his face, and because of his weakness, he seemed to be having trouble breathing, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Uncle Mu, are you okay? Look at my broken mouth. Why am I mentioning this to you? Just close your eyes and have a good rest." Zhou Guicheng said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Old Mu obediently closed his eyes. If he didn't know that the murderer was Zhou Guicheng, he would probably be very grateful for the other party's concern.

But at this moment, he was only filled with anger, and his whole body was hot with anger. He really wanted to jump up and hit the other person on the head with an axe.

But reason told him that he couldn't do that now. He was old and now bedridden. He was no match for his opponent.

Zhou Guicheng is a rather sturdy man, about 1.78 meters tall, with a simple and honest look. He gives a very good first impression and is considered to be an honest man.

And his behavior over the years was indeed true. Both relatives and friends thought that Zhou Guicheng was a kind person.

That's why Lao Mu had some doubts about him before, and he thought that he might have been thinking too much.

In addition, Zhou Guicheng had not revealed any flaws in these years, so he buried this suspicion deep in his heart.

"Don't worry about Auntie's funeral. My parents will help take care of it. My mother cooked chicken soup this morning and will bring it to you at noon..."

Zhou Guicheng was talking while helping Lao Mu tidy up the quilt.

In fact, there were not only Lao Mu and Zhou Guicheng in the ward at that time.

Zhou Cuiping and Mu Feiyan were also standing nearby, and Zhou Cuiping stared at Zhou Guicheng in a daze.

Judging from Zhou Guicheng's words and actions after he came in, it is difficult to associate him with the murderer who killed his daughter.

But it is impossible that my daughter would wrongly accuse the other party. Thinking of this, and looking at Zhou Guicheng's honest appearance, I felt a chill down my spine.

What a deep scheming this person is, he is playing with their whole family in the palm of his hand.

Like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, it stared at their family coldly and destroyed everything in her family.
-
After Lao Mu's fever subsided, apart from feeling a little weak, he didn't have many other problems.

Eat something, have some rest, and you'll be fully recovered soon.

In this case, Lao Mu did not stay in the town hospital for long and was discharged in the afternoon.

After leaving the hospital, he went straight back to his home. Looking at the burnt ruins, Old Mu stared blankly without any sadness.

"Old Mu, you're discharged from the hospital so soon? Are you feeling well?"

"Old Mu, would you like to stay at my house for a few days? I still have a room available..."

"Old Mu, come to my house for dinner tonight, don't be too sad..."

"Old Mu, let us help you pick up some of the things that weren't burned at home and pile them aside. You can see which ones you can still use..."

……

When neighbors and acquaintances in the town saw Lao Mu, they all asked him about him with concern, which shows that Lao Mu is very popular in the town.

Old Mu also responded to everyone with a smile until Zhou Maoshu arrived.

Zhou Maoshu is Zhou Guicheng's father. Because of the relationship between the two families, he and Lao Mu naturally have a very good relationship.

"I just went to the hospital, and they said you were discharged. I knew you must be here. Let's go to my house..." Zhou Maoshu took Lao Mu's arm and was about to go home.

Old Mu did not struggle, but said: "I haven't dealt with your sister-in-law's affairs yet. I will go to your house after I have dealt with them."

"You are weak now, how can you have the energy to worry about all this? Leave the rest to me and Meixia. I promise to help you with everything."

"Well...thank you and Meixia so much, I really don't know how to thank you." Old Mu said with emotion.

"Old Mu, it's too polite for you to say this to me." Zhou Maoshu pretended to be angry. "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Old Mu said hurriedly.

"That's right." Zhou Maoshu said happily.

"I'll buy some food and we'll have a drink tonight," Zhou Maoshu continued.

"The doctor said I can't drink alcohol during this period." said Lao Mu.

"That's such a pity." Zhou Maoshu said regretfully.

"But it doesn't matter. We'll talk about it after you get better. But we still need to buy food and have a good meal tonight. It's all over."

"But... there are many things that are hard to deal with." Old Mu said sadly.

Zhou Maoshu thought he was thinking about his daughter and wife again, so he sighed and said, "Old Mu, we are all at this age, we should be more open-minded and learn to let go of many things. There is no point in always dwelling on the past..."

Old Mu listened to the other person with a grin, looking very happy.

"You're right, we really need to let it go."

"Hey, that's right. You're only 55 this year, and you can start all over again..."

"To be honest, my sister-in-law has been bedridden for so many years. Not only has she suffered, but she has also been a burden to you. Now..."

"Okay, I may have gone a little too far."

"No, I know what you mean, thank you."

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me?"

Zhou Maoshu bought some vegetables in town, and the two returned to Zhou's house together.

The Zhou family's house was similar to the one that Lao Mu had burned down. At this moment, there was a little boy playing at the door. When he saw Zhou Maoshu coming back, he immediately came up to greet him happily.

"grandfather."

"Hey, my dear grandson, why don't I call you Grandpa Mu?"

Zhou Maoshu bent down, picked up his grandson, kissed him, and then put him down.

"Hello, Grandpa Mu." The little boy called out obediently.

"Okay, so are you."

Old Mu touched his head with a smile.

"You look exactly like your father when he was a child."

Zhou Maoshu was laughing so hard that his eyes almost disappeared. He opened the plastic bag in his hand, took out a roast duck leg and handed it to the other party.

"Take it and eat it."

"Thank you, Grandpa." The little boy took it happily.

"What a good boy." Old Mu said with a smile.

Zhou Maoshu smiled and said, "The little guy is very naughty. He can't be scolded or beaten. With his mother and grandmother protecting him, he is like a little bully at home."

"You didn't protect him?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Maoshu just laughed dryly, and obviously agreed. He loved this grandson very much.

"Where is his father? Does Xiaocheng love his child?" asked Old Mu.

Although Zhou Maoshu was a little surprised why Lao Mu asked this, he didn't think much about it and answered truthfully: "Of course, I love this kid more than his mother. I spend all the money I earn on him."

"Look at the clothes he's wearing. Do you know how much it costs? Two hundred and eighty-three. I've never worn such expensive clothes in my life. It's really a waste for a child to wear such nice clothes..."

Zhou Maoshu said this but the smile on his face never faded.

Old Mu was also laughing, even happier than Zhou Maoshu.
