Shuhua understood and looked at Xin'er's clothes again. Well, no wonder it was much better than before. It turned out that she recognized her grandson.
If you recognize your grandson, does that mean you are willing to accept yourself as your daughter-in-law and the second grandson in your daughter-in-law's belly?
If Shuhua was still a little uneasy on the way back, now her heart has returned to its true state.
"Xin'er, please play in the yard while your mother goes in to visit your grandma."
Xin'er nodded.
Sa Yazi picked up the ball at her feet and ran forward. As she ran, she turned around and called to the maid: "Come on, come on, come after me!"
The maid followed behind with a nervous look on her face: "Young Master, please slow down..."
Shuhua stood up and looked at everything with satisfaction. Her eyes moved from the children running away to the plants and trees in the yard, flower beds, potted plants, floor tiles, houses, courtyard walls...
After so many years, everything here will belong to her and her sons!
In Gu's mother's room, Gu's mother was sitting on the bed with her clothes on. A maid beside the bed was giving medicine to Gu's mother.
The medicine was too bitter, and Mother Gu waved her hands before taking a few mouthfuls.
The maid looked embarrassed and looked at Father Gu beside the bed for help.
Father Gu was pacing in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, but his steps were messy and heavy. His brows were tightly knitted into the character 'Chuan', and the four characters 'suffering' were written on the drooped corners of his eyes and mouth!
Shuhua entered the room and called out, "Aunt, uncle!"
Father Gu and Mother Gu raised their heads at the same time, and their eyes lit up when they saw Shuhua. They looked behind Shuhua again, but did not see Gu Zhihua.
"Why are you the only one who came back? Where is Zhihua? He didn't come back with you?" Father Gu rushed to ask what Mother Gu wanted to ask.
Shuhua slowly released the emotions that had been brewing before entering the door. Her weak face turned pale, her eyes were red, and tears fell down like broken beads.
Shaking his head gently, he took out the handkerchief and wiped his tears. He choked out a few words with his slightly swaying shoulders: "... Zhihua, Zhihua is in big trouble..."
"What? What's the trouble?"
Father Gu rushed to Shuhua with a quick stride, his heart seemed to be suffocated for a moment.
Gu's mother was not much better, her eyes were full of panic.
Shuhua looked at the two elders in front of her, just sobbing and shaking her head, but said nothing.
Gu's mother was anxious, "Don't cry. Speak faster. Are you trying to scare us to death?"
Father Gu was also stamping his feet.
Shuhua knelt on the ground with a bang and told her elders about Lai Touhua.
Both father and mother were dumbfounded.
"This beast, instead of learning well, went to learn gambling from others. He got five hundred taels of silver and was seeking death!"
Father Gu was so angry that the flesh on his cheeks trembled violently, and every word came out from his teeth. If Gu Zhihua were here, he would probably pounce on him and tear off a piece of his flesh.
Gu's mother just cried, "Master, if you want to beat or scold you, you have to redeem your son first. Those deadbeats are not good people..."
Father Gu suddenly turned around, clapped his hands together, and yelled hysterically at Mother Gu: "Redeem it? You said it lightly, five hundred taels of silver, where do you want me to get it?"
If there is no problem with the shop at home, even though five hundred taels of silver is a large amount, it will not be impossible to get it. At worst, it will be possible to sell two shops and go out.
But this time, misfortunes never come singly. All the shops in the family have been sealed. Nothing in the shop can be moved, and everything is sealed.
People who do business may sound like they have a lot of money, but actually they don't. Most of their money is invested in their shops.
The family currently has only a hundred taels of silver, and nearly half of it has been spent on government affairs to avoid jail. The remaining dozens of taels of silver have to be kept to compensate the victim.
If the compensation is not enough, you may not be able to get even one of the closed shops back, so now Zi Gu's father is like a fish being grilled on the fire. Life is miserable!
I originally thought that I could use my son's reputation as a civil servant and his connections with his classmates to go to the county government office and try to smooth things over, but I didn't expect that this bastard would be so unsatisfactory and something went wrong at the last moment!
"Old man, Zhihua is our only son, the only child of our old Gu family. I have a box of jewelry here, and I have pawned it all. I have also sold hundreds of acres of farmland at home, no matter what. Let’s collect five hundred taels of silver and fish them out first!”
While Father Gu was furious and furious, Mother Gu was still crying and begging.
Father Gu was furious and kicked the small round stool next to him into the yard. He turned around and pointed at Mother Gu who was crying on the bed with red and swollen eyes and disheveled hair and yelled:
"Laolaolaolao, do you think it's hot pot? That's five hundred taels of silver. If you hit someone with it, you could kill them!"
"Selling the land? What can our old family drink after selling the land? Drink the northwest wind?"
Gu's mother was stunned. She looked at the furniture and furnishings in the house. "If it doesn't work, I'll sell all the furniture and furnishings. The servants in the family won't want them anymore. If it doesn't work, even if I pay for the house, I'll sell it." I have to save my Zhihua. If Zhihua is gone, I won’t be able to live either..."
When she heard that the maid was about to be sold, the maid serving beside the bed tightened her legs and almost dropped the medicine bowl in her hand to the ground.
When Father Gu heard these willful words from Mother Gu, he stamped his feet in anger.
Shuhua knelt on the ground and spoke weakly at this time.
"Originally, I still had two or three taels of body money in my hand, and the house in Qing'an County could be sold for some money, but I didn't expect that those two girls, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, stole my body while I wasn't paying attention. He even sneaked into Zhihua’s study to take away the title deed of the house.”
"What?"
"Oh My God!"
Another thunderbolt hit Father Gu and Mother Gu's Heavenly Spirit Cover fiercely. Mother Gu lost her temper on the spot, and Father Gu was not much better.
After a while of fussing around, Gu's father hunched over and went out to think of something to do.
Selling land? Or selling a house?
Shuhua doesn't know.
She waited at Gu's mother's bedside. Gu's mother had not yet woken up after drinking the decoction. Shuhua stared at Gu's mother's hands exposed outside the quilt.
There is a thick gold bracelet on her wrist, and a green jade bracelet on her finger.
Yes, I am in love with my cousin, or my childhood sweetheart.
She once thought that with this childhood sweetheart relationship, she could still be a concubine even if her aunt and uncle didn't agree to let her be his wife.
But the fact is that they found a marriage for her that she was very dissatisfied with and sent her out. They went around looking for a well-matched family for their cousin...
She hated their snobbery, and she was deeply disappointed with her cousin's compromise.
The twists and turns of fate made her understand a lot of things. It turns out that if you live in this world, if you don't plan for yourself, no one will think about you.
So even now that she got her wish and returned home, she and her cousin are still chatting with each other, but she is no longer the silly person she was back then.
She can no longer trust anyone, rely on anyone, make promises? Status? None are solid.
Huahua is the real wife, and she was married in an upright manner. What is the result? Aren't you still being cheated and divorced?
Therefore, she must take advantage of the chaos to keep the Gu family's money in her hands, as much as she can.
She held on to the money and cut off the old couple's escape, so that they could realize their potential.
What's the saying?
If you don't force yourself, you will never know how rich the other person is. Look, there are hundreds of acres of land, such a big house, and the bracelets and rings on your aunt's hand...
