What Mu Jingchen didn't say was that Grandpa Mu had actually been very sorry and guilty, because he couldn't let Grandma Mu give birth to a child with her and his blood.

Grandpa Mu's father, Mu Kun, was a small landowner in Province D, and because his wife was bedridden all the year round, it didn't take him two years to get out of shape with Qian Meimei, a widow in a neighboring village.

When Grandpa Mu was five years old, Qian Meili was pregnant, and Mu Kun was angry with his wife, who was already short of time.

After Grandpa Mu's own mother was hastily buried, Mu Kun married Qian Meili through the door.

Qian Meili gave birth to Grandpa Mu's half-brother Mu Guoliang eight months after passing the door, and then, Qian Meimei, who thought that she had already gained a firm foothold in the Mu family, began to learn from Grandpa Mu.

Grandpa Mu's uncle's family has fallen into ruin, because his aunt received two hundred catties of grain sent by Mu Kun, and also obtained the "privilege" of paying less than 20% of the rent from Mu Kun, so he has been in charge of his own man, and he is not allowed to stand up for Grandpa Mu.

Grandpa Mu is a stubborn character, Mu Kun was very sad to remarry him so quickly, plus he told Mu Kun that Qian Meili abused him, but instead attracted Mu Kun to beat him indiscriminately, and the father and son completely separated from each other.

Since then, Grandpa Mu has never complained to his father.

In this way, Qian Meili naturally became more and more unscrupulous.

Not giving him enough food is commonplace, and occasionally when Mu Kun is not at home, Qian Meili will burn him with tongs and prick him with embroidery needles.

After about half a year, Grandpa Mu couldn't bear it anymore, he secretly packed up his mother's relics, and then took advantage of Mu Kun's absence to secretly run to his uncle's house.

Because he took medicine all the year round when he was alive, and he had to make up for his mother's brother and sister-in-law from time to time, Grandpa Mu's mother originally had a rich dowry, and there was not much left at this time.

In addition, most of her clothes, shoes and socks had already been burned by Qian Meimei, so what Grandpa Mu took away was only a few old clothes that his mother wore before his death, two old handkerchiefs that his mother used before his death, and a small wooden box that he was holding on to and was unwilling to hand over to Mu Kun.

There were only two silver hairpins, two copper hairpins, two small silver earrings, and a total of less than ten silver dollars in the wooden box, which was all the inheritance left to him by Grandpa Mu and his mother.

When the nephew, who was not yet waist-high, came to his house with punctures, burns, and bruises, and knocked his head on the ground one after another, crying and begging him to take him in, Grandpa Mu's uncle knew that Mu Kun's heart had already been biased into his armpits.

He was very angry and distressed, and immediately agreed to let Grandpa Mu stay at his house.

Mu Kun does not lack a bite of food for his eldest son, of course he will not want Grandpa Mu to stay at his eldest brother's house, but fortunately, Grandpa Mu's uncle is very prestigious in Mujia Village, and he is quite disciplined.

In the following ten years, he really worked diligently as he promised when he was 6 years old, and used all his efforts to repay his uncle and aunt who took him in.

This situation lasted until Grandpa Mu was fifteen years old.

That year, in the tearful eyes of his uncle and aunt, he followed the conscripts into the army.

Because of his intelligence, studiousness, and physical fitness, he soon became the best marksman, the fastest literate, and the most combat-ready soldier in their ranks.

Under the careful cultivation of the leaders, he rose all the way.

When he was 18 years old, he married Grandma Mu, who fell in love with him at first sight.

Grandma Mu was born in a military family, and her ancestors even had warlords on one side.

Although the power of their Zhang family is now much less than before, Grandma Mu, who is well-off, beautiful and dignified, optimistic and open-minded, and well-educated, married Grandpa Mu, who is from a grassroots background, disgraced, penniless, and basically walks on the edge of life and death every day, is still an absolute, low-level marriage without any suspense.

Grandpa Mu had been secretly admiring Grandma Mu in his heart, and after hugging the beauty, he simply spoiled Grandma Mu to the sky.

However, soon after they got married, Grandpa Mu lost his fertility during a major war.

For Grandpa Mu, it was definitely the darkest day of his life, and there was no one.

He endured the pain in his heart and filed for divorce from Grandma Mu.

Of course, Grandma Mu would not agree.

It's a pity that she can't have her own children, but she married Grandpa Mu never to find a man for her to have offspring.

The couple was at a stalemate for a while, and finally because of Grandma Mu's unwaveringness, Grandpa Mu made a compromise.

When he was 20 years old, the couple adopted Mu Jingchen's father, Mu Duanyang.

The two of them regard Mu Duanyang as a parent, and Mu Duanyang has always regarded the second elder as his biological parents and is filial, but deep in Grandpa Mu's heart, he still hopes to have a biological child who inherits the blood of him and Grandma Mu at the same time.

In the previous years, he felt regret and guilt because of this, and now he and Grandma Mu's love crystallization came to this world, Grandpa Mu was so happy that he couldn't wait to take a super megaphone to spread it among all his relatives and friends with Grandma Mu.

Grandma Mu, who was still old and pregnant, couldn't pull off that cheek, and Grandpa Mu was not allowed to publicize this matter everywhere, so Grandpa Mu had to restrain his excitement and only cheer around his wife every day.

"I've told you so many times! The doctor said that my health is very good, as long as I take good care of it and go to the hospital for regular check-ups, I will not have any problems even if I give birth at this age. Through the door, there was a voice from the living room of Grandma Mu, who was full of helplessness and sweet happiness at the same time, obviously, it was Grandpa Mu who was making a fuss about her again.

Mei Yali's ears pricked up, and Grandpa Mu's hearty voice full of joy came in immediately, "Then we have to be careful at all times, didn't Duanyang also say it, let me and Mother Achen take good care of you." ”

"I don't need you to take care of me." Grandma Mu waved her hand arrogantly, "Don't use Duanyang's words to pressure me, Duanyang is not at home, and he doesn't know the situation, so he was shocked and worried." ”

Mother Mu in the kitchen poked her head out, "Mother, you still listen to my father." I know you're in good health, but you're less than three months old. ”

Grandma Mu's attitude towards her daughter-in-law was at least ten degrees better than that of her wife, she sighed helplessly, and then raised her right hand and waved at Mother Mu, "It's done, it's done." I've listened to your general line, right? ”

Grandpa Mu gave a thumbs up to Mu's mother, and Mu's mother laughed secretly and retracted into the kitchen.
