Chapter 281 Taking Charge
Seeing this, Grandma Gu smiled happily. She couldn't go back to her hometown village; she had grown accustomed to a life where she had no worries about food and drink.
They couldn't get used to the days of having to work in the fields to earn work points.
However, before she could be happy for long, Lu Huailin's cold voice rang out: "Xiao He, take Grandma Gu to Qin Shou's house."
"She misses her great-grandson and will live there from now on!"
Upon hearing this, He Shengli looked troubled. Wasn't Lu Huailin making things difficult for him?
It was fine once Grandma Gu was taken to the station; once the train left, it would be none of my business anymore.
But if it's delivered to Qin Shou's house, wouldn't she have to run back and forth every few days?
Seeing He Shengli standing motionless to the side, Lu Huailin looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is there something else?"
He Shengli gave an awkward laugh and scratched his head.
He explained, "Commander, what if Grandma Gu insists on coming back with me?"
Lu Huailin glanced at him: "Tell Qin Shou that if you want someone to take care of the child, you should keep Grandma Gu here!"
"I've already spoken to the security guard; he won't let her in again!"
He Shengli received confirmation from Lu Huailin, and his previous worried expression vanished.
He immediately saluted and said, "Commander, rest assured, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"
Grandma Gu stared blankly at Lu Huailin and He Shengli, and decided where she was going in just a few words.
His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He Shengli walked up to Grandma Gu and said with a smile, "Grandma Gu, let's go!"
Grandma Gu took a deep look at Lu Huailin, whose face was cold and hard, and then realized that her grandson-in-law was so ruthless!
He Shengli led Grandma Gu into the military jeep, stepped on the gas, and left the family compound.
On the other side
Gu Yihan ate her lunch half-heartedly.
"Xiao Han, what's wrong?"
Hu Shan looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan looked up at Hu Shan with a worried expression.
"Today, for some reason, my grandma suddenly can't hear or see me anymore!"
Hu Shan couldn't help but laugh after hearing Gu Yihan's words, and patted her hand across the table.
He joked, "Xiao Han, you're worrying unnecessarily."
"If I can't hear or see you suddenly, of course I don't want to see you or hear your voice!"
"Isn't that how all kids act when they throw a tantrum?"
Gu Yihan was stunned upon hearing this, and she gradually concealed the worried expression on her face.
I instinctively asked, "Why is the child throwing a tantrum?"
Hu Shan looked at Gu Yihan in surprise: "Your son is over two years old, and you don't even know why children throw tantrums?"
Gu Yihan stared straight at Hu Shan, trying to get an answer from her.
"There are only a few reasons: either you didn't achieve your goal, or you upset him, or you didn't give him what he wanted."
As Hu Shan spoke, she laughed at herself, admitting that she had always been just as willful as she had been as a child.
She pretends not to hear or see anything, no matter how much her parents talk or call out to her.
Thinking back, I was quite naive when I was a child.
Gu Yihan looked down at the cabbage and tofu in the lunchbox, chewing on Hu Shan's words.
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to see it."
"The objective was not achieved!"
Tears suddenly blurred my vision, and I gripped the chopsticks tighter and tighter.
Seeing that Gu Yihan had suddenly lowered her head and stopped talking, Hu Shan looked at her curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yihan casually wiped her eyes and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing."
"Oh." Seeing that Gu Yihan didn't want to talk about it, Hu Shan didn't ask any more questions and ate her meal quietly.
at the same time
Qin Shou walked back and forth in the living room, holding his wailing son.
He shouted irritably, "Cry, cry, cry."
"You won't eat this, you won't eat that, what do you want to eat?"
Kang Long was startled by Qin Shou's impatient roar.
Then, with a louder "Wah!" it let out an even louder howl.
Qin Shou looked at his son, who was wailing and crying at the top of his lungs, and was so angry that he wanted to throw him away.
He's only been taking care of the child for a few days, and he's already driven almost crazy by him.
I really don't know how Grandma Gu managed to take care of the little guy for so long!
On the other side
Grandma Gu had just stepped into the courtyard when she heard Kanglong crying.
With a sudden tightening in his heart, without He Shengli urging him, he took three steps at a time and pushed open the door to Qin Shou's house.
Why is Kanglong crying?
"What's wrong?"
Are you hungry?
A series of questions left Qin Shou, who hadn't yet had time to react, stunned.
Seeing Grandma Gu hurriedly take the son from his arms.
While gently rocking him, she whispered soothingly, "My dear grandson is here. Did you miss me?"
When Kanglong heard Grandma Gu's familiar voice, his crying stopped abruptly, and he opened his eyes to look at her.
Suddenly he grinned and laughed.
Qin Shou's eyes lit up as he watched Grandma Gu's actions.
He eagerly moved a chair for her and poured her water.
Grandma Gu sat on the chair Qin Shou had brought over, and couldn't help but laugh at his fawning manner.
Qin Shou moved a stool and sat down next to Grandma Gu: "Grandma, don't leave, stay and watch over Kanglong!"
"This kid only likes you; he won't take anyone else!"
Grandma Gu looked at Kang Long with guilt in her eyes. If it weren't for her, Gu Yihan wouldn't have sent Gu Meng in.
It's pitiful that he lost his mother at such a young age and has an unreliable father.
Thinking about it this way, her heart ached even more.
Qin Shou had been observing Grandma Gu's expression, and when he caught a fleeting glimpse of guilt in her eyes...
Suddenly, an idea came to me.
He stood up and walked over to Grandma Gu.
With a "thump," he knelt down on both knees.
She choked up as she said, "Grandma, Gu Meng was sentenced to seven years in prison without any regrets."
"My perfectly good family, just like that, suddenly fell apart!"
Grandma Gu looked at Qin Shou, a grown man, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
What did she say?
You're saying your wife got arrested because of you?
Qin Shou knelt down and stepped forward, grabbing Grandma Gu's hand and pleading, "Grandma, please let Kanglong stay, considering he's still so young!"
Grandma Gu moved her lips, about to say that she wasn't going back to the family compound.
Suddenly, remembering Qin Shou's past actions, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
She couldn't say that she was kicked out by Lu Huailin.
Knowing Qin Shou's nature, he knew she had nowhere to go and would definitely not deliberately take Qiao's money.
Qin Shou was extremely anxious when he saw that Grandma Gu did not nod in agreement.
"Grandma, as long as you stay and help me look after Kanglong, I'll give you my entire monthly salary to manage!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu suddenly looked up at Qin Shou and asked, "Really?"
"You're not lying to me?"
Qin Shou looked at Grandma Gu and nodded, saying, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm not lying to you!"
Grandma Gu thought for a moment, then stood up while holding Kanglong and looked at Qin Shou kneeling on the ground.
She snorted coldly: "Fine, I'll believe you this once."
"If you're lying, I'll go straight home to my family compound and never care about Kanglong again!"
Seeing that Grandma Gu had agreed, Qin Shou nodded quickly.
He stood up happily, his heart pounding with joy.
I've finally found a nanny who does my laundry, cooks for me, and takes care of my kids for free.
Grandma Gu hummed a song happily as she carried Kanglong to the kitchen to steam eggs for him.
She hasn't been in charge of the household for many years.
Although they live in the family compound, their granddaughter gives them living expenses every month.
But ultimately, she wasn't in charge.
