Chapter 921: Chapter 794: Liang Family’s Response

"Alright, pass it on to your father-in-law for me."

Can you just pass it on because you say so?

National Day complained, "Grandpa Liang, you wouldn’t be thinking of bringing this up again, would you? Let me tell you, if it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t want to go to the bureau to bail anyone out. You tell me, isn’t your grandson a bit too much? He calls Xiao Wu to his face, yet stabs in the back."

"Yes, yes, I’ve already stood up for you."

"Oh, please spare me! Can we discuss something? Let’s just leave it at that. My brother Liang admitted his fault at the time, if you keep bringing this up, it won’t make him resent me?"

"Since he made a mistake, he has to take responsibility. Who knew that rascal was up to so many things behind the scenes? I called to explain something to your father-in-law..."

National Day quickly interrupted, "Grandpa Liang, don’t, please don’t bring it up. My wife and I have been punished by my dad to write out several hundred characters, and we haven’t even started on our reviews yet. If you add fuel to the fire, it’s fine if I break my wrist, but my wife can’t. She’s not well."

"Oh? Punished, huh." The phone echoed with laughter, "You deserve it, kid. If you have any issues, come to Grandpa Liang, won’t I stand up for you?"

National Day winked at Mr. Cheng and his father-in-law. This old man is really funny, actually thinks we’re buddies?

"You see, it’s different not being your immediately related grandson, you’re happy when I’m punished. But, Grandpa Liang, your grandson is really something, and completely brainless.

You tell me, he digs up the old yard, fine, but how could he try to pin it on my father-in-law? Isn’t that right? At that time, he turned pale with fright. It really makes me hate iron for not becoming steel. Grandpa Liang, sigh..."

"Xiao Wu, I have no choice, there’s a useless grandson. When he came back, I asked him, it’s just that some bad friends egged him on to dig up the yard. Besides that, he really wouldn’t dare do much. Our family is just common folks, how would we dare meddle in higher-up matters?"

"Grandpa Liang, you still don’t quite understand your grandson. If there wasn’t something substantial to this, I wouldn’t pin it on him? Never mind, let’s not talk about this, what’s past is past. See if there’s anything else, I need to write my review."

"Xiao Wu, is your father-in-law around? Call him to take the phone."

"Hold on, my dad was just in the living room half an hour ago." National Day put down the phone, went to the coffee table, picked up the teacup, seeing his father-in-law hadn’t moved, he finished the tea, and continued back to the desk.

"Hello hello hello... are you there?"

"Where’s your father-in-law?"

"My dad just went out not long ago. Why don’t you call a bit later?"

"Alright. Then pass on a word for me, I’ll call him tonight."

As soon as Cheng Lao saw they finished the call, he hung up the phone and broke into loud laughter. Jumbled up by this kid’s antics, every sentence mentions his grandson, now Old Liang must be fuming.

Just as he expected, in the Liang family’s study, on the other end, Mr. Liang placed the receiver down, leaned back against the chair, closed his eyes to rest.

Listening to the conversation from the receiver, several men of different ages ahead dared not breathe loudly, not daring to make any move, just staring at their father (grandfather) in front.

As time passed, occasionally a young boy quietly shifted his foot, immediately glared at by a middle-aged person beside him, making him stare at his nose, nose at heart, standing still.

"How do you feel now? I often warn you, times have changed, our family is no longer what it used to be. And you? Are you unhappy?"

Old Liang’s voice drifted in the room, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Thinking yourself clever, now look where it’s got to? Caught in the act. How did I remind you several? No courage to take on Liang Mountain without full preparation. You all forgot, thought everyone was a pushover. Now you’ve hit a hard spot, don’t worry about Zhou family dealing with it, other troubles will find you, act accordingly."

Liang the Elder pushed his glasses up his nose, said slowly, "Dad, don’t be upset. From what the kid said on the phone, the issue isn’t big. Since the other side said this matter is settled, if we let some word out and little sister mediates, it’s not a huge issue."

A slightly younger middle-aged man beside him heard this, frowned, a hidden glint flashed in his gaze. So it’s no big issue because it’s your son.

"I also hope it’s not a big issue." Old Liang opened his eyes, stared at his eldest, "You fooling yourself? The whole circle knows, do you really believe that kid’s nonsense?"

Watching father and son talk, the others had thoughts, quietly observing everyone’s expression in the study.

"Still you expect your little sister to mediate? You think this isn’t significant enough? Still clueless now. Really think they’re making such gestures aimed at our family? They’re just short of directly naming the culprit!"

The Elder Liang was scolded by his father, immediately lowering his head, dared not speak, though secretly discontent. His own son’s too young got tricked, but wasn’t it all according to your arrangements?

Liang the Third took advantage of their father’s favoritism, reproached the elder, "Big brother, speak with thought. If dad’s so old he gets angrily ill, what then?"

"Dad, listening to the call earlier, should we reconsider? How about contacting the Cheng family, Wen family to step in?"

Mr. Liang looked at his third son, "Do you think Zhou Xiao is deliberately not answering?"

"Word’s out he dotes on his daughter like life, today is even his daughter’s moment. Time hasn’t passed much? Whatever his thoughts, it’s impossible not at home asking the child."

Mr. Liang heard, pondered silently.

"Wouldn’t it be better for Cheng family to step in? Gu family, technically still Old Mrs. Cheng’s family, needs an explanation. That old lady’s known for mercy, tonight bring along little Jun to apologize to her. As for letters, instruct little Jun a bit."

Mr. Liang pondered his son’s words. It’s more suitable than calling Zhou family. At that time, let Sister Liu accompany to Zhou’s, some things easier to mention.

Liang the Elder appreciated his third brother’s approach. If big issues become minor, his family’s little Jun wouldn’t need rural hardships.

Perpetually neglected, always caught in the middle, Liang Laoer waited till now, realizing his most desired Gu family treasure got overlooked, possibly other brothers know, but his lineage isn’t valued leaving him alienated outside, maybe possible.

In haste, he signaled his eldest son.

Liang Laoer’s eldest son saw, eyes darting, "Third uncle, will Old Mrs. Cheng forgive second brother? Would they meet and get angrier? As for using Gu family treasure as a reason, isn’t it better with another approach?"

Liang the Third didn’t want to deal with this nonsense, brushed off, "No need, Zhou family’s girl already said there’s confession in hand."

"Third uncle, what exactly is the Gu family treasure about? Tell us everyone. If there’s evidence, maybe we can achieve something."

Liang the Third looked at his nephew’s green-eyed inquiry, sighed silently. No matter the favoritism, their old man wouldn’t share family secrets.

He glanced at the old man again, then at Liang the Elder, "I don’t really know, let your uncle speak." Anyway, the Elder and Laoer brothers from same mother, let them solve themselves.

Thinking that Liang the Third lost some interest. Different mothers after all, resulting in differences, such as sisters not close to him.
