Volume 1 Chapter 495 Mother Gu's Regret

"Wife, go to sleep."

Gu Tingxiao watched Sheng Wanyan moving around on the bed, with many small movements, and her little hand kept lingering on his abdominal muscles.

If you don’t sleep now...you won’t be able to sleep tonight.

"Are your parents waiting for you or Yi Yi?"

Sheng Wanyan looked at him with gossip in her eyes, and Gu Tingxiao helplessly pulled her into his arms and tied her up.

"Wife, Dad doesn't like us sons that much."

Sheng Wanyan felt the same way after hearing this. After all, Gu's father disliked his three sons very much and would resort to violence whenever he was unhappy with them.

I think Father Gu was waiting downstairs because of Mother Gu, but it’s hard to say for whom Mother Gu was waiting.

After all, after Gu Tingxiao moved to Peking University with him, he never stayed overnight in the compound.

He didn't talk much to Gu's mother, and he wasn't always by her side like Brother Gu and Gu Tinghao.

Gu's mother already felt guilty towards Gu Tingxiao and wanted to find an opportunity to bring the mother and son closer together.

But Gu Tingxiao's cold personality made her at a loss every time, it could be said that she had no idea where to start.

Gu Tingxiao always had a cold face, and his mother couldn't make up her mind whether he had ever resented her for ignoring him in the past.

So Gu's mother could only make up for it with Yi Yi, thinking that she would be nicer to Yi Yi and that Gu Tingxiao would come home more often.

Before, she had never thought that Sheng Wanyan and her family would move out after returning to Beijing.

She originally thought that by living together, she could also help the third brother's family more.

But she found that the third family didn't need her help at all, and the couple were doing just fine.

The couple has a good relationship, the children are well educated, the couple has a good future, and the children are obedient and well-behaved... She doesn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

She failed to fulfill her responsibilities and neglected her child when he was young.

Now that the children have grown up, they no longer need her.

Mother Gu tossed and turned in her room, unable to sleep, and Father Gu had no idea what was wrong with her.

"Wife, what's wrong with you?"

"Old Gu, I feel uncomfortable."

Mother Gu sat up and covered her chest. Father Gu saw this and patted her back to help her breathe.

"Wife, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't scare me."

Father Gu was so scared that he thought something was wrong with Mother Gu, so he quickly put on his shoes and took her to the hospital.

Mother Gu shook her head and expressed her unhappiness.

"Old Gu... Old Three had a fever when he was a child. Do you remember?"

"Um."

Gu's father naturally remembered it. After all, Gu Tingxiao had a severe fever that time and almost went crazy.

"At that time, the third child was 10 years old, you were in the military area, and the fourth child was just born and was crying a lot, so I was at home to take care of him."

"But the third child was in school and had a fever of 39 degrees in the middle of winter."

Father Gu nodded. These were all past events, but Mother Gu sighed every time they were mentioned.

"At that time, my parents were working, you were also working, and I stayed at home to take care of the fourth child."

"The fourth child was crying so hard at that time. He started to cry at the top of his lungs as soon as I left."

"I had no choice but to ask my aunt to pick up the third child and take him to the hospital."

"When the third brother came back, he didn't say a word to me for several days. My heart aches when I think about it now."

As Mother Gu spoke, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry, and Father Gu comforted her.

"Wife, blame me, not you."

Mother Gu cried and shook her head. She could have taken the third child to the hospital, but she chose the fourth child.

"No..."

"When the third child just entered high school, he had a conflict and a fight with his classmates, and his parents were asked to go."

"But the fourth child's class was going to have a parents' meeting at that time, so I went there after I attended the meeting."

"When I went to the third child... the other family's parents pointed at me and scolded me for having no manners."

"Others have their parents' support, but I... took so long to show up."

The more Mother Gu spoke, the more guilty she felt. Her voice was trembling and she was filled with regret.

"Also when we were kids, the fourth child loved the tank you made for the third child."

"The fourth child was young and cried a lot at the time, so I asked the third child to give him to the fourth child..."

"The third child...was also just a child at the time."

Mother Gu covered her chest with her hands. She realized that she felt too much guilt towards the third child.

So much so that she herself felt that she had gone too far in the past.

"Later, the third brother got a job and joined the army."

"You pave the way for the eldest, I pave the way for the fourth, but what about the third?"

"He...if he wasn't good enough..."

"If his parents didn't pay attention to him, then he..."

The more Mother Gu thought about it, the more her breathing became rapid. The more she thought about it, the more she realized how excessive their parenting was.

If the old man and old lady in the family had not paid attention to Gu Tingxiao, Gu Tingxiao would probably have been extremely disappointed with his parents.

If there were not two old people in the Gu family, Gu's mother couldn't imagine what attachment the third son would have to the Gu family.

Everyone thought that Gu Tingxiao was cold to everyone and that was just his personality.

But Gu's mother knew clearly in her heart that she could feel Gu Tingxiao's attitude towards her.

When Gu Tingxiao faced her, it was as if he was facing the benefactor who gave him life, nothing more.

Polite, polite, and not friendly at all.

She is not in the third brother's heart.

She wanted to make amends now, but it was too late.

She could only start with her third daughter-in-law and Yi Yi, hoping that the mother and daughter would come back more often and that Gu Tingxiao could also come back.

"Wife, don't dwell on the past."

"It's better to pay more attention to the third brother's wife and Yi Yi than anything else."

Father Gu is always busy and he can't take care of so many things at home, so it is Mother Gu who does the work in the rear.

If Gu's mother is incompetent, then how competent can he be as a father?

If we really have to say who is right or wrong, it is that he, as the head of the family, did not do well enough.

The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, and people’s hearts are biased.

Just like how Gu's mother used to favor the fourth child, and now she wants to favor the third child because of guilt, it's the same principle.

———

Sheng Wanyan's family returned to the compound, and the children in the family had a great time this weekend.

Sheng Wanyan remembered what she had promised Gu Jinfang, and prepared a set of materials on learning methods for him to figure out slowly.

"Aunt San, you are so kind."

Gu Jinfang really didn't expect that Sheng Wanyan actually remembered this matter and prepared it for him so quickly.

"Your Third Aunt has prepared all the money for you to study, you must cherish it and study hard."

Mrs. Gu took the opportunity to educate Gu Jinfang, and Gu Jinfang was indeed even more moved after hearing it.

I made up my mind that I must make progress this semester and get good grades in the final exam.

"Mom, I remember."

“I will definitely study hard.”

The elders in the family were also happy, especially Gu Jinfang, who had the greatest difficulty in studying, was willing to work hard. This was simply a great thing.
