Chapter 7 Going Out

Gu Man put her things in the cabinet beside the bed and gave An Xi a glass of water.

"Thank you, Mom Gu Ning." An Qian took the water and thanked her politely.

"Gu Ning, how are you doing?" An Xi asked.

"You're fine now. You can be discharged from the hospital now." Gu Ning said.

"Really?" Hearing this, An Xi was also happy for Gu Ning: "Then congratulations!"

"Thank you," Gu Ning thanked.

After sitting for a while, An Xi sent Gu Ning and her daughter out of the hospital.

Knowing that An Xi worked in this hospital, Gu Man refused because she was afraid of disturbing her work.

But An Xi insisted on sending it, and Gu Man couldn't insist.

On the way out, An Xi had already called a taxi for Gu Ning and her daughter and paid the fare, which made Gu Man feel embarrassed, but there was no point in refusing, so she had to thank them.

Gu Ning, on the other hand, accepted it calmly, but out of politeness, he still thanked An Xi.

As soon as he left the hospital, Gu Ning felt at ease.

Half an hour later, the two finally returned home.

Gu Ning and her daughter live in an old alley in the old city. It is so old that it is about to be demolished, but it is indeed already being planned, and demolition is a matter of time.

Therefore, Gu Ning and her daughter will not live here for long.

This was the property of Gu Ning’s grandparents, but after his grandfather passed away ten years ago, his grandmother went to live with his uncle Gu Qingxiang.

So, the house was just left there and was temporarily given to Gu Man and her daughter to live in.

Of course, you don’t live here for free, you have to pay rent.

Just because we are relatives, I only charged them 500 for a house that is worth 1,000 yuan in rent.

Because this place is very old, although it is an old town, there is not much heat around it, so it is a bit remote, so the rent is so low.

This is a two-story house, each floor is only about 40 square meters. The first floor is the living room, kitchen and toilet, and the second floor has three rooms.

When the Gu family lived here before, Gu Ning's grandparents lived in one room, eldest uncle Gu Qingxiang and third uncle Qingyang lived in one room, and Gu Qing and Gu Man lived in another room. The whole family lived in a very crowded place.

But later on, Gu Qingxiang became rich and bought a house outside, and Gu Qingyang also got a stable job in the country and was allocated a house by his unit, so their lives gradually got better.

However, there are only simple furniture in this old house. Don't even think about buying electrical appliances such as TV, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.

Gu Ning was also drunk to see that they were so poor.

No matter how miserable Tang Aining was in his previous life, it was still much better than this. It can be said that they are not comparable at all.

However, Gu Ning did not feel disgusted or repulsed by this. Instead, she felt very warm, because there was a strong maternal love here and the warmth that she had never enjoyed before.

She wanted to make money quickly so that Gu Man could live a stable and wealthy life.

After she made money, the first thing she did was to buy a big house, buy nice clothes for Gu Man, and get her a beauty card so that she could take good care of herself.

Gu Man is not old, only 39 years old, and she still has a long way to go.

For eighteen years, Gu Man has been single.

Gu Man is good-looking and many men pursue her, but she is afraid that Gu Ning will be wronged by a second marriage, so she has never agreed.

However, Gu Ning has grown up now and feels that Gu Man should have a companion, so she plans to let Gu Man find a man who loves her and live a good life for the rest of her life when conditions are right.

As for the matter of Gu Ning's biological father, Gu Man never wanted to mention it, so even the Gu family didn't know the details.

Gu Ning only knew that Gu Man got pregnant when she was 19, when she was in the second semester of her freshman year. After she got pregnant, Gu Man stopped studying and returned home.

At that time, the Gu family was shocked after learning about this matter. No one could have imagined that Gu Man, the most well-behaved child in the family, would do such a thing.

This was a complete shame for the Gu family, so everyone in the Gu family forced Gu Man to abort the child.

Gu Man was unwilling to do so. In order to save the child, she ran away from home, worked outside and rented a house.

That was a very difficult time. Because I was pregnant, no one wanted to hire me to work, so I relied on Gu Qing for support.

Because Gu Ning's grandfather had not died at that time, and he had doted on his little daughter since she was a child, he could not bear to see his daughter suffer, so he took her home.

Before Gu Ning's grandfather passed away, he was the one who took care of Gu Ning, while Gu Man went out to work and earn money.

Because they lived in their parents' house, all the salary Gu Man earned was used for household expenses.

Ten years ago, Gu Ning's grandfather passed away, and Old Mrs. Gu moved to live with the eldest son, Gu Qingxiang.

Because Gu Qingxiang and Gu Qingyang couldn't stand the fact that Gu Man, a daughter, was occupying her parents' house, they instigated Old Lady Gu to collect rent.

"Ningning, you go to bed and rest first. Mom will go cook. Change your clothes and I will wash them later." Gu Man said.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Mom, then you cook and I'll do the laundry." Looking at the thin Gu Man, Gu Ning felt a little bit sorry for her. He always thought of his mother in his previous life, which made Gu Ning unconsciously want to do something for her.

"No, you're a patient." Gu Man refused.

"I'm fine now." Gu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"That won't work either," Gu Man pretended to be angry and refused to compromise.

"Well, okay!" Gu Ning no longer insisted and had to compromise.

Half an hour later, the food was ready.

Due to their living conditions, Gu Man and her daughter had a simple diet, and they rarely had meat. However, because Gu Ning was a patient, Gu Man bought meat today.

When eating, Gu Man always picked up some meat for Gu Ning, but never picked up any for herself.

Gu Ning felt a sour sensation in his nose. In fact, Gu Man needed nutrition more than Gu Ning.

"Mom, there is so much meat, you should eat a few more pieces. The weather is so hot, if there is any left over until nightfall, it will go bad." Gu Ning immediately picked up several pieces of meat for Gu Man.

Gu Man naturally knew what Gu Ning was thinking, and didn't want to make her sad, so she didn't refuse.

There was a bitter feeling in my heart.

It’s all my fault for not being able to give Ningning a better life.

After dinner, Gu Man immediately sent Gu Ning back to the room to rest, but Gu Ning didn't want to rest. Since it was the weekend, Gu Ning wanted to go to the antique street.

Try her jade pupils and see if you can find a bargain and make money.

Gu Ning took out his only 500 yuan of private money and his ID card, and said to Gu Man, "Mom, I'm going out for a walk and will be back soon."

However, Gu Ning had just been discharged from the hospital, so how could Gu Man feel at ease? "But, you just got discharged, you need to rest."

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine now. Besides, going out for a walk, stretching my limbs, and getting some sun will be good for my health!" Gu Ning said coquettishly.

“But...” Gu Man was still worried.

"Mom, I'm an adult, not a child anymore. I will be careful. Besides, I have a cell phone with me. If you are worried, you can call me occasionally!" Gu Ning said.
