Chapter 98 - 092 Rising Suspicion
"Great-grandpa, Grandpa Tang," Tian Xinhua greeted them, and the Old Man put down his sickle. "What’s the matter? What’s happened now?"
"No, nothing. I just thought of something and came over to tell you, great-grandpa." Tian Xinhua paused to catch his breath.
"Go ahead," said the Old Man, knowing his grandnephew wouldn’t speak without a reason. He casually tossed aside his sickle and, along with Tang Tieshan, headed for the shade of a tree.
"I just realized something isn’t right. Although Gao Hongmei has always been at odds with Ah Nan, she used to hold back and wouldn’t dare to provoke Ah Nan. At most, she would just ignore Ah Nan. Given Gao Hongmei’s straightforward nature, she must have been warned by her elders not to provoke Ah Nan."
On hearing Tian Xinhua’s analysis, the Old Man’s expression became serious, signaling Tian Xinhua to continue. Encouraged, Tian Xinhua went on, "But Gao Hongmei at noon was vastly different from before. Not only did she provoke Ah Nan on her own, but she also dared to curse so vilely. I think Gao Hongmei must have received some kind of directive or hint, feeling she no longer needs to treat the Tian Family with the same caution as before, and that’s why she dared to be so bold."
At last, Tian Xinhua let out a sigh of relief and said, "So, I think the problem must lie with Gao Yuzhu. I just can’t see through him. I believe he must be plotting against our Tian Family or trying to bring us down, I just haven’t figured out what approach Gao Yuzhu is planning to take."
Tian Xinhua looked somewhat apprehensive, unsure about his own conjecture, and he anxiously awaited the Old Man’s reaction.
Tang Tieshan looked at the Old Man with envy, "Old buddy, your grandnephew is really something. If this were wartime, he’d definitely be a master strategist! Oh my, why does all the good fortune fall on your Tian Family? A beautiful granddaughter, a clever grandson, your ancestors must have accumulated merits for eight generations."
