Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Dad, you’re still cunning and crafty.
Guo Miaomiao shook her head again, sniffled and explained, "Sister Yaoyao, nobody is bullying me. I’m crying because I’m a little scared. Wenwen just called, saying my parents have arrived and they’re at her house now, insisting her parents bring them to me. I’m scared they’ll hit me when they find me, and then they’ll forcefully take me back to our hometown."
They have been away from home for so long and have even moved their household registration. Surely her parents know they’ve been deceived. Their arrival in Kyoto now must mean trouble. Once they find her, they will surely want to take her back. After all, she is now at an age where she can be married off for a large bride-price.
Her time in Kyoto has been the happiest days for Guo Miaomiao. She doesn’t want to go back, but she doesn’t know what to do. Since her sister is not at home and Tong Yao is in confinement after childbirth, she feels bad about disturbing Tong Yao.
Tong Yao sighed with relief when she heard the situation. "Silly girl, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Don’t worry, with me around, your parents won’t take you away. Besides, your sister will be back tomorrow. You don’t panic, I’ll call Wenwen to find out what’s going on."
Guo Miaomiao nodded with teary eyes. For some reason, even though Tong Yao herself looked thin, her words were incredibly reassuring. Guo Miaomiao felt much better.
Tong Yao dialed the number. Wenwen’s voice came from the other side, and in a clear voice, Tong Yao said, "Wenwen, it’s me."
Hearing Tong Yao’s voice, Deng Wenwen’s voice filled with joy, "Sister Yaoyao, you just finished your confinement and you are already getting out of bed?"
"Hmm," Tong Yao replied and then asked about the main matter, "Wenwen, I heard Miaomiao’s parents are here, are they at your house now?"
Deng Wenwen guessed that Tong Yao called because of this issue. "Sister Yaoyao, I was hesitating whether to tell you or not. I was worried you might get upset right after confinement and didn’t want to trouble you. My aunt and uncle are here, pestering my mom to take them to Miaomiao. My mom is about to collapse under their persistence. As soon as my aunt arrived at our house, she started crying, and my uncle has been throwing tantrums."
Deng Wenwen felt helpless. Originally, she wanted to kick her uncle out and only let her aunt stay. She couldn’t stand her uncle’s behavior; he had no right to boss everyone around in her house.
But seeing her uncle’s stubbornness, her mother, worried that he would make a scene at the hospital and feeling sorry for her aunt who has had it hard all these years, endured their presence and didn’t kick them out.
After some consideration, Tong Yao said, "Given your uncle’s personality, he definitely won’t give up until they see Miaomiao. Fortunately, Ahchen is here now, as are my parents and Hongwei. We outnumber them and we’re not afraid of causing any trouble. Bring them over! We’ll settle things face to face."
This is Kyoto, not their hometown, so Tong Yao is not at all afraid of Guo Xinpei. It’s best to solve this problem all at once to avoid him causing trouble again later.
Hearing what Tong Yao said, Deng Wenwen hesitated, "Sister Yaoyao, my uncle is a rogue. He seems difficult to handle. I’m afraid that you all will be bullied."
Tong Yao chuckled, "Don’t worry, local gangs don’t harm local snakes, and he’s not even a snake. Just bring him over directly." 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Hearing Tong Yao’s words, Deng Wenwen felt relieved, "Sister Yaoyao, then you guys get ready. I’ll go home and bring them over now."
"Okay," Tong Yao said and hung up the phone.
Guo Miaomiao was surprised, "Sister Yaoyao, I thought you were going to ask Sister Wenwen to send my parents back. Why are you bringing them here?"
Tong Yao said, "Don’t be afraid. We have many people here, and your parents wouldn’t dare do anything. If we don’t invite them over, they won’t be willing to go back. Better to solve everything at once. If you’re too scared to see them, you can go upstairs. I can handle it here."
Guo Miaomiao was indeed scared, but after all, they were her parents. She felt it was wrong to leave the responsibility to Tong Yao and then run away herself, "Sister Yaoyao, I’ll just stay here!"
Seeing her bravery, Tong Yao smiled, "Then you wait here for a while. I’ll go upstairs and call for help, and will come right back. Don’t be scared, your parents won’t get here that fast."
It would take at least an hour for Deng Wenwen to go back home and bring them here, while it would take Tong Yao just ten minutes to go upstairs and call for help,
Guo Miaomiao nodded and sniffed, "Sister Yaoyao, thank you."
She believed that with Tong Yao here, she would never be bullied.
Tong Yao quickly ran up the stairs. Si Chen had just changed the baby’s diaper and was coming out of the room. He saw Tong Yao return and softly asked, "Weren’t you going to chat with Miaomiao a while? How did you return so soon?"
After being inactive for so long, even going upstairs had made Tong Yao tired. She took a deep breath and said, "Miaomiao’s parents are coming. They are a little difficult to deal with. When we brought Miaomiao here before, we used a little trick. They are definitely here for trouble this time. Could you go upstairs and get Hongwei to come down? We should go and help her settle this."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Tong Yaohui and Wen Yun walked over, "Who’s coming to make trouble?"
Tong Yao worried about Tong Yaohui’s health, so she said, "Dad, don’t worry. It’s Miaomiao’s parents. We’ll go down and check, you both stay upstairs and take care of the baby."
Wen Yun added, "Her parents are here? Let’s invite them upstairs and sit down. I’ll have Zheng prepare a meal."
Tong Yaohui, however, understood much better than Wen Yun, he said, "Prepare a meal? They’re not here to eat at all. Let’s just stay upstairs with the baby, and let the young people handle these matters."
With Si Chen and Gu Hongwei both there, Tong Yaohui was not bothered to intervene in this matter. He felt that he had indeed reached the age of retirement. He could happily look after his grandchildren at home, and going out would only cause trouble for his children.
These days, Tong Yaohui, who was helping to look after his grandson, was excessively happy. Liu Sanwa was managing the breeding farm well, so there was no need for him to worry. All he was focused on was taking care of his grandson.
Tong Yao chuckled, "Dad, you are truly cunning."
"You child..."
Tong Yaohui was left laughing by Tong Yao’s comment, while Wen Yun looked at Tong Yao reproachfully and smiled, "Who speaks to their father like that? You two quickly go and handle your affairs! We will watch the children."
Both babies, having recently breastfed, were sound asleep.
Tong Yao agreed, then jogged back downstairs, worrying that Guo Miaomiao would be scared being alone downstairs.
Si Chen helplessly reminded her, "Don’t run, walk slowly, be careful not to trip."
Tong Yao didn’t even turn her head, "I got it."
Standing at the door, Wen Yun laughed, "After giving birth, Yaoyao has become just like a child."
