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

Chapter 85 Entanglement

 Zhang Guangzong did not go smoothly while holding the child.

Niuniu is only five years old and is not heavy at all. Zhang Yunniang and Gu Mingda usually hold the baby very easily.

But Zhang Guangzong had just experienced a serious cold and was severely beaten by his concubine's man. Now he was not only weak, but also had many wounds on his body that were not healed.

The originally light and airy little girl now felt as heavy as a mountain in his hands, and it was also difficult to leave along the route he had planned.

This road he had walked several times suddenly became full of dangers. One moment he almost fell into a pit, another moment he almost tripped over a haystack, or almost hit his head on a sharp stone.

After arriving at the destination with difficulty, Zhang Guangzong felt as if he had lost half his life.

He deliberately chose a good place, which was remote, quiet and inaccessible.

"Niuniu, I'm dad, do you remember dad?" Zhang Guangzong tried to pretend to be kind.

But what he got was Niu Niu's defensive eyes.

The little girl stepped back cautiously.

Zhang Guangzong grabbed her shoulders, forced her not to move, and said, "I picked you up from the wild, have you forgotten?"

Facing the person she was most afraid of in the past, Niu Niu almost cried out of fear, but she still managed to calm down and shouted to him: "Uncle."

Zhang Guangzong's face changed instantly: "I'm not your uncle, I'm your father! I'm your father!"

The little girl was really scared and her eyes turned red.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Guangzong took a deep breath and said: "They must have told you something nonsense. Although they bought you for five taels of silver, I am still your father and you are my daughter! You are my daughter!"

Although Niu Niu is still very afraid of Zhang Guangzong, when she heard this, she felt infinite courage in her heart and retorted on the spot: "I am not your daughter, I am the daughter of Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang!"

Zhang Guangzong became visibly angry, his eyes spitting fire: "Ungrateful! If it weren't for me, you would have died a long time ago. You think I can buy out my kindness to you with five taels of silver. I tell you, in your dreams, you are mine." Daughter, you must encourage me! You must help me become a scholar!”

Zhang Guangzong had a very bad time during this period, and the successive blows had made him a little confused.

He had been thinking about climbing up, but unexpectedly he heard the women in the village talking.

They compared the current situation of Zhang Guangzong and Gu Mingda, and became more and more convinced of Niuniu Wangjia's previous view.

This was actually not the first time Zhang Guangzong heard these commonplace words, and he usually didn't take them seriously. After all, he had money, leisure, and a comfortable life at that time.

Now that Zhang Guangzong had been blackmailed several times in succession and fell into poverty, he traced his origins and actually believed the "Wang family" story.

After all, his life was getting worse and worse, starting from the time he sold his daughter.

He didn't know where he heard it, saying that he should be kind to people with a prosperous family, otherwise he would easily lose money and invite disaster.

Zhang Guangzong also knew that he could not return to his previous life by his own ability, so he began to think of taking evil ways to bring back his daughter of the Wang family.

At this time, Niu Niu was frightened to tears by his crazy appearance.

She shook her head wildly: "I'm not your daughter! I'm not!"

When Zhang Guangzong heard this, he became angry again. He controlled his emotions with difficulty and did not slap Niu Niu in the face.

"White-eyed wolf... I have raised you for five years. Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang have only raised you for how long... You... If you don't please me, I will kill you!"

Niu Niu was very scared when she heard this, but she still didn't want to be Zhang Guangzong's daughter. She hesitated again and again, closed her eyes and muttered silently: "I hope..." Before Niu Niu finished reading, she suddenly heard a gust of wind in her ears. There was a loud sound, and a small stone hit Zhang Guangzong.

"Let go of my sister, you big bad guy!"

Gu Zhao rushed over like a small cannonball and bumped directly into Zhang Guangzong.

This collision shouldn't have posed much of a threat to Zhang Guang, but he was now a weak adult and was knocked to the ground by the angry little fat man on the spot.

Niu Niu took advantage of this opportunity and immediately hid aside. Gu Daya stepped forward and threw a handful of sand in his right hand towards Zhang Guangzong's eyes.

After doing all this, Gu Daya stretched out his left hand and pulled Gu Zhao up.

"let's go!"

Gu Daya stood behind the palace guard and ran back quickly, protecting his younger brothers and sisters, and rushed straight back to his yard without stopping.

Zhang Yunniang glanced at the three children in surprise. When her eyes fell on Niu Niu's red and swollen eyes and messy hair, her expression suddenly changed.

"Mom, Uncle Zhang just arrested Niuniu..." Gu Zhao stumbled and talked about what just happened.

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly grabbed Niuniu and looked her up and down carefully. After confirming that the little girl was just frightened and had no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Niu Niu snuggled into her mother's arms with fear on her face, her tears falling like broken beads.

Although Gu Zhao and Gu Daya were both children, looking at Zhang Yunniang's solemn face and the look of some kind of storm brewing in her eyes, they couldn't help but shudder with fear.

Zhang Yunniang forced a smile on her face and told Daya and Gu Zhao: "You are playing in the yard and don't go out. If you encounter Uncle Zhang when you go out in the future, just stay away."

After getting nods from the two children, Zhang Yunniang carried Niuniu into her house.

Gu Mingda, who was studying in the house, was shocked when he saw his wife and daughter acting strangely.

Zhang Yuniang was afraid of scaring the child, so she asked gently: "Niuniu, tell mother, what does your uncle Zhang want from you if he catches you?"

When Gu Mingda heard this, his eyes instantly burst out with terrifying anger.

Niu Niu whispered: "He wants me to call him daddy and continue to be his daughter, saying that I am an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. Mom, I don't want to leave you! I want to be your daughter!"

Seeing the little girl crying as she spoke, the couple suddenly felt heartbroken.

Zhang Yuniang immediately hugged her daughter tightly and patted her gently in her arms: "Don't be afraid, Niuniu. No one can take you away from your parents. You are my parents' daughter, and no one can take you away."

The couple coaxed her together for a long time before the little girl fell asleep with tears on her face.

"I'll go to the county tomorrow." Gu Mingda said softly.

Zhang Yuniang seemed to realize something and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Niuniu likes to eat Xueyun cake, and only pastry shops in the county sell it." Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yuniang lowered her head and glanced at her daughter, who was frowning because of fear even though she was asleep. She just thought that her husband went to the city just to buy cakes to make her daughter happy.

But after Gu Mingda was silent for a moment, he said with a frosty face: "I thought too simply before."
