Facing Gu Ping'an's weird look, Xiaoyu thought he didn't believe her and continued, "Just use wire to open the lock, or use a hairpin. It's very simple."
"Kou Xiaoyu, did you learn this from your parents?" Gu Ping'an looked at her and asked, his face a little colder.
Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, our whole family can do it."
"Listening to your tone, you are quite proud. Do you think this is an ancestral technology?"
Gu Pingan looked at her and lectured her in a serious tone,
"Do you know who can pick a lock with wire? A thief."
Xiaoyu's face froze. "What did you say?"
Gu Ping'an snorted coldly, "Only thieves can use wire to open locks and sneak into other people's homes to steal things. How can any serious person learn this?
Your parents used to do this, but now that they are gone, you want to inherit their skills, go back to their old business, and carry forward their stealing skills, right?"
Xiaoyu heard his words, with tears in her eyes, and retorted, "I didn't."
Gu Ping'an said coldly, "No? Then why do you want to learn how to open locks with wire? You still show off to me, your poor skills are still considered your specialty? Can you compare with me? After I play games, I want to be a professional e-sports player.
If you use a wire to pick a lock, can you go to a foreign competition? If you can't even leave our town, you will be arrested."
Gu Ping'an lectured her in a cool tone, "Think more about your grandpa and go on the right path. Don't think about sneaking around all day long."
Xiaoyu was wronged and sarcastic by him, and stood up angrily, angry at Gu Ping'an, "Gu Ping'an, what do you mean? Who is not on the right path? I just said that I can use wire to open locks, and I didn't do anything else.
Yeah, what are you talking about in such a weird way?"
Gu Pingan sneered, "Just because you're not doing it now, doesn't mean you won't do it in the future."
Gu Ping'an's contemptuous expression and hurtful words really hit Xiaoyu.
It turns out that this is how others see her!
The tears fell instantly.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, she is just a thief.
She threw down her homework and ran away crying.
Lin Jinshun and Gu Decheng were wandering around the orchard when they saw Xiaoyu suddenly running out of the cabin and running outside. Lin Jinshun asked hurriedly, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
Xiaoyu ignored Lin Jinshun and Gu Decheng and ran straight out of the orchard.
Lin Jinshun was so frightened that he quickly chased after him.
Gu Pingan came out of the room carrying his schoolbag with a stinking look on his face. Gu Decheng went up to him and asked,
"Ping An, what's going on? Have you messed with Xiaoyu?"
"I didn't mess with her, it's strange."
Gu Ping'an put his schoolbag on his shoulder and said to Gu Decheng.
"Grandpa, don't let me help her with homework anymore. I'm going home first."
After saying that, he strode away.
Lin Jinshun chased Xiaoyu to the edge of the orchard, where Xiaoyu was squatting there crying. Lin Jinshun pulled her up and asked softly,
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Hurry up and tell grandpa what happened. Grandpa will solve it for you."
Xiaoyu's face was full of tears, she raised her head and looked at Lin Jinshun's voice choked with sobs.
"Grandpa, I can use wire to pick locks, but I am not a thief. I have never stolen other people's things. I am different from my parents, and I don't want to be like them."
Lin Jinshun was confused when he heard this, but he still held her in his arms, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "I know, Xiaoyu is different from them. How could Xiaoyu steal other people's things?"
He was very happy that the child could say that she was different from her parents.
He knew that Xiaoyu still had the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
"Let's walk home." Lin Jinshun calmed her down and took her back to the orchard.
Gu Decheng looked anxiously and saw Lin Jinshun coming back with Xiaoyu, so he hurriedly followed him.
"What's going on with these two kids? Ping'an is a prickly guy. I asked him what happened, but he didn't say anything."
Gu Decheng asked Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, tell us quickly, did Ping An offend you? I'll go back and beat him up."
Xiaoyu wiped away her tears, sat on the chair, and picked up the homework she had thrown away, "Grandpa Gu, it's okay. You don't need Gu Ping'an to tutor me anymore. If I don't know the questions, I'll go back to school and ask the teacher."
She said nothing and continued to do her homework with her head down.
"Old Lin, please comfort the child. I'll go back and ask what's going on with Ping An."
After Gu Decheng left, Lin Jinshun looked at Xiaoyu and asked for a long time, but he didn't find out why.
Xiaoyu just said it was okay and then lowered her head to do her homework.
But she didn't look like she was okay at all.
Lin Jinshun didn't know how to communicate with her, so he cooked aside.
In the afternoon, Gu Decheng came again with Gu Ping'an.
This time I didn’t carry my schoolbag, and it was Gu Decheng who grabbed me.
Lin Jinshun was shocked when he saw such a big boy being grabbed by Gu Decheng, "In-laws, what are you doing??"
"This kid deserves a beating." Gu Decheng said to Gu Ping'an with a majestic expression, "Hurry up and apologize to Xiaoyu."
Gu Ping'an was educated all the way by his grandfather. He was also very wronged, but he did realize his mistakes.
He also admitted that he seemed to be looking at this girl through colored glasses from the beginning.
"I'm sorry, I spoke too bluntly, and I shouldn't have called you a thief."
Gu Ping'an looked at the girl with messy hair who lowered her head and said nothing, and explained, "My original intention is to tell you to study hard, be a law-abiding person, and not to follow evil ways. I have no other intention.
I did not mean."
"Xiaoyu, this guy has already apologized to you. He meant what he said but didn't mean it. Don't argue with him. You will still be friends from now on."
After Gu Decheng went home and interrogated him for a long time, he learned that it was Gu Ping'an who couldn't speak clearly and hurt the little girl's self-esteem.
But Gu Decheng could tell that his eldest grandson had good intentions and did not mean to look down on Xiaoyu.
Lin Jinshun reminded her, "Xiaoyu, you see Ping An has apologized to you, please tell her it's okay."
Xiaoyu still didn't speak, lowering her head and writing and drawing in her notebook.
Gu Ping'an said, "Hey, don't say anything. I have already apologized. If you are not convinced, you can come and beat me, just like you beat the three girls in your class."
