After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 53: Not mature enough

Everyone just felt funny when they heard the bank manager say the words "clean reputation".

Banks are a bunch of people who eat people without spitting out their bones, so there is no reputation for being clean.

Little Cai was really frightened by these words.

Although Zhang Yunniang forced the couple to sign the IOU, the money actually came into their hands, and the interest was far from being considered a loan shark. If she really got into the government office, it would definitely be Xiao Cai who was unlucky.

Zhang Yunniang coughed lightly, assumed the posture of an eldest sister again, and reprimanded: "You are so shameful. If you really want your man to die, just say so. Then I will go to your Cai family and ask why you have to marry this scourge to us." Come to Lao Zhang’s house!”

Little Cai was suppressed one after another by these people and was no match at all. He could only huddle in the corner with the money in his arms.

Gu Mingda sent the old doctor and shopkeeper Zheng out of the house together.

The old doctor walked out and said, "I have never seen a more cunning woman than this one!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves, carried the medicine box and left angrily.

Gu Mingda turned to look at Shopkeeper Zheng, and said apologetically: "Brother Zheng, because of my family affairs, it's hard for you to make this trip."

Shopkeeper Zheng chuckled lightly and said, "You are exaggerating. What does such a trivial matter mean to our relationship?"

Gu Mingda added: "Brother Zheng will ask someone to send this IOU back to Guang'an County. It will probably be sent to Guang'an County's bank branch to collect the debt."

Shopkeeper Zheng nodded to show his understanding, and then said: "It's a pity that you, Mingda, are focused on the imperial examination. Otherwise, you must be the big shopkeeper of Guang'an County Branch. Until now, the eldest young master is still looking forward to you coming to work in our bank."

"Brother Zheng, the young master is too flattering, and Gu deserves it." Gu Mingda said humbly.

Gu Mingda walked all the way to the entrance of the alley before turning back. As soon as he turned around, he saw Niu Niu peeking out from the door of the house.

As soon as he saw his daughter, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He walked quickly to the child and asked softly: "Niuniu, are you waiting for daddy here?"

Niuniu nodded.

After Gu Mingda picked up the child, he said, "Why are you waiting here alone?"

Niu Niu said softly: "I am not alone. The eldest brother and the third brother are with me."

When Gu Mingda heard this, he looked behind Niu Niu and saw Gu Yan and Gu Zhao not far away.

Gu Zhao was looking for bugs in the grass nearby. Gu Yan was holding a book in his hand and looking at his younger siblings from time to time.

Gu Mingda carried the child and walked inside. As soon as he got close to Gu Yan, Gu Yan immediately stood up straight.

"You are a good big brother." Gu Mingda said.

When Gu Yan heard his father's praise, his face remained calm, but his slightly red earlobes revealed his inner excitement.

Gu Mingda sat down beside Niuniu and asked softly: "Do you have anything to do with daddy?"

Niu Niu lowered her head slightly, her young face showing a tangled look for the first time.

She didn't speak, and Gu Mingda didn't urge her, but said, "Niuniu, I am your father. As your father told you, your father and mother will always protect you."

Niu Niu raised her head, her big eyes were wet, like a confused deer in the forest.

Seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, Gu Mingda felt like killing someone. Since he and Yun Niang recognized this child as their daughter, they made up their minds to protect her for the rest of their lives. How could they bear to see her like this.

"Who has wronged you? Tell Daddy, Daddy will make the decision for you." Niuniu shook her head and said softly: "Niuniu is not wronged, Niuniu just feels that she should not deserve it."

"Um?"

Gu Mingda didn't quite understand why the child suddenly blamed himself, so he said: "You have not been wronged by others, which makes dad very happy, but now you are wronging yourself, and dad will also feel uncomfortable with you. "

When Niu Niu heard this, her big eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, she hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Dad, will the Zhang family's father die?"

Gu Mingda was stunned for a moment, and finally understood the crux of the problem. He shook his head and said, "The doctor prescribed medicine for him. If he can survive tonight, he should be fine."

Niuniu breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "The Zhang family's old parents don't regard me as family, shouldn't I miss them?"

Gu Mingda asked: "Do you want to go back to Zhang's house?"

Niu Niu immediately shook her head like a rattle and started crying: "I don't want to go back, daddy, don't send me back."

Gu Mingda hurriedly comforted her: "If you don't want to send it away, you are my parents' precious daughter. My parents can't live without you, so how can you send it back?"

Niu Niu breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Then you hope that the old parents of the Zhang family will live better than your mother and I?" Gu Mingda asked again.

Niu Niu immediately said: "I don't expect this! I like you the most!"

Gu Mingda smiled and said, "Then you don't miss them either."

Niu Niu tilted her head and said with some confusion: "But I don't want Zhang's old father to die of illness. Although he was not good to me in the past, I don't want him to die in my heart. Isn't it particularly bad for me to do this?"

Gu Mingda patted her little head and said, "It's normal not to want to kill someone casually. Even if you are a stranger, you won't curse others to death? What's more, he is someone you know."

Niu Niu relaxed visibly.

Gu Mingda suddenly seemed to understand something and asked: "My silly boy, are you sad because of this?"

Niu Niu whispered: "I'm afraid you think I'm not well-raised..."

Gu Mingda frowned slightly: "Who taught you the three words 'unfamiliar'?"

Niu Niu didn't realize that her father was already angry and said directly: "I heard what the third aunt told people."

Gu Mingda didn't have the habit of getting angry in front of his children, so he suppressed his emotions and said, "What adults say may not be right. Don't take it to heart what your third aunt says. Your parents didn't raise you to be mature. Don’t expect anything in return.”

In this case, it is difficult for Niuniu to understand these words with her current little mind, but she still mustered up the courage to ask: "Why are you willing to raise me? Why are you willing to share the food at home with me?"

Niu Niu always thought this was a big deal. She wanted to ask Zhang Yunniang several times, but she didn't dare to say it.

Gu Mingda was vaguely aware of the little girl's innermost uneasiness. He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears that had fallen on the little girl's face.

"Why should we raise Niu Niu? Because Niu Niu is the good baby of her parents. Her parents are willing to give the best food to Niu Niu. They also want to protect her good baby and grow up well."

Niu Niu said with red eyes: "But I am not your biological child, I am a picked-up wild child."

Gu Mingda looked at her tenderly and said: "Niuniu was originally my parents' child, but she took the wrong path and fell into someone else's belly. Niuniu searched for a long time before she returned to her parents."
