He Ling is the mainstay of this family. After listening to her logical words, Gu Daniu understood what he should do, so he nodded and ran out.

He Ling sighed as she watched him from behind. "Alas, your second uncle, how could he pass away at such a young age? We didn't know about this before. Your grandparents kept it a secret from us, fearing we would take away their benefits. Your father loved this younger brother the most, so this really hurts him."

Gu Zhenzhu was puzzled: "Since Dad loves his younger brother, Second Uncle, the most, why does he rarely go to the city to see him?"

"I heard about this from your father. Your grandparents didn't care about them. Your second uncle grew up on his back. Later, when your father was seventeen and your second uncle was thirteen, your father went out to work. When he came back, he heard that your second uncle had been kicked out by your grandparents."

"Later, when he walked to the city alone for the first time and found your second uncle, he was already staying at his uncle's house. He thought your second uncle was living well in the city and didn't want to disturb him, but he would go to see if he was doing well every once in a while."

Gu Zhenzhu asked again: "It's been two years this time."

"Your father went there two years ago. When he came back, he heard that his second brother's wife had given birth to four children, the youngest of whom was three years old. The family was doing well. He felt relieved and never went to see him again."

Gu Zhenzhu felt sad when she heard this. Although her father was simple-minded, he was really good to his family. Even though she was a daughter, he never looked down on her. Instead, he often carried her on his shoulders and took her out to play. All the girls in the village envied her.

He suddenly learned that his second uncle had passed away, and it had been half a year since he discovered it. How sad he must have felt.
