”Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and start the meal. Little Yang is probably hungry by now.”

The old man was very happy. He stood up from his chair, looked around, then asked, ”Where's your brother?”

”Well, I guess he must have gotten sick again and is now lying in his room upstairs,” Hou Guofong said. ”I'll send someone to get him to come down.”

He then said to Hou Xiaoya, who was busy helping out in the kitchen, ”Xiao Ya, go call your uncle to come down for dinner.”

”Oh!” Hou Xiaoya responded and hurried upstairs.

Not long after, Zhang Yu saw a middle-aged man following Hou Xiaoya down the stairs.

His face was resolute, and his expression was solemn. He was neither fat nor thin, and he looked quite robust. However, when he walked, he seemed to be unsteady. His center of gravity was actually slightly to the left, making him look like a short foot.

What kind of situation was this? Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu became curious.

His eyes were like torches as they began to scan the man's body.

”Big Brother, are you alright?” Hou Guoyong walked up to ask.

”It's nothing. It's just an old problem. There's not much of a problem. Just bear with it for a bit and it'll be over.”

Hou Guoyan's elder brother was called Hou Guoyi. He casually waved his hand and his gaze fell on Zhang Yu wherever he went.

”Is this the doctor you were talking about who saved our father?” Hou Guoyi asked.

”Yes, yes, yes, that's him,” Hou Guo smiled bravely as he introduced him to his brother, ”His name is Zhang Yu, and he's a doctor at the Second People's Hospital in New South City. It was really thanks to him last time that our father was able to recover.”

Whether intentionally or not, Hou said, ”He looks really young!”

Zhang Yu hurriedly walked up and greeted, ”Greetings, Uncle.”

When Zhang Yu was conversing with them just now, Hou Guofong had instructed Zhang Yu not to always call him ”Bureau Chief Hou” so that others would feel it was strange to just call him ”Uncle”.

Zhang Yu was not that old in the first place. Since even the hero of the Hou Kingdom had said so, there was no need for him to be too polite. On the contrary, it would make people feel that he was too eccentric.

Therefore, when Zhang Yu saw Hou Xiaoya's uncle, he followed Hou Xiaoyi and called Hou Guoyi uncle.

However, what Zhang Yu didn't expect was that this Hou Guoyi didn't seem to think much of him. In fact, he even had some prejudices against him.

”You don't learn well at such a young age, but you've already learnt to randomly build relationships with others. What a nice name to call you uncle!” Hou Guoyi did not look at Zhang Yu, but his words were clearly directed at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu froze on the spot as the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Eldest Brother, what are you saying? Little Yang is very polite and calls you uncle. It's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but here you are, putting on some airs. This is your home, not your army.

When the old man saw this, he was extremely angry and immediately began lecturing the marquis.

Even in the face of his father's scolding, Hou Guoyi remained calm. He wore a cold face without any expression.
