He was really ashamed of his mother.

"Why are you ashamed? You didn't take anything. Hey, why didn't you come and call me? I didn't even see the little guy."

As soon as He Ling got home, she heard him tell her the whole story, and now she disliked her mother-in-law even more.

What a heartless person.

Uncle Gu was still very angry, "How dare you, Mom, take two hundred yuan from someone else!"

He Ling smiled and shook her head. "Do you really think you can refuse to pay? Your second brother was raised here until he was 13. If they didn't pay and just took the things, some people in the village would definitely say something bad."

"Your second brother's biological father must have given the money for your second brother's reputation."

Uncle Gu finally understood. Alas, he really didn't understand the ways of the world. Fortunately, he had a smart wife.

At this time, his smart wife also predicted, "They will come in a few days, they must be here to thank you. Let's make a deal first. If they give us gifts, we will take them. If they give us some huge benefits, we will refuse them."

Uncle Gu scratched his head and said, "Why do you accept gifts from others?"

He Ling patted his head and said, "You're so stupid! This is because they want to thank you for being so kind to my second brother. If you don't accept it, they will feel bad. But we don't want any other benefits. Otherwise, how can we be good relatives with Chun'er and the others? I can't bear to leave the children."

"Of course I can't bear to leave the children. Uncle Gu said that I will still be their uncle in the future."

He Ling nodded, "That's good."

On the way, it was almost dusk and Gu Tieniu was looking at the jade pendant.

No words were spoken.

Little Zhuzi peeked out to see the jade pendant, "Grandpa Gu, what is this?"

Gu Tieniu brought it closer to show him. It was a jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix pattern, which was the token of love he gave to his wife.

"This is a jade pendant that your grandmother always carries with her."

Little Zhuzi was confused and didn't really understand what happened today, but he saw that his grandfather seemed to be about to cry, so he patted him and took out a piece of candy from his pocket. The outer packaging was covered with his hand sweat.

"Don't be sad, have some candy."
