Gu Ye made an appointment with Wen Ze. The patient he was currently in charge of had just passed the critical period, and in a few days, he would have time to give Grandma Gu acupuncture.
Before leaving the hospital, Gu Ye went to the old lady's ward again to inform the doctor not to rush to discharge her.
"Gu Ye, why are you back again?"
Uncle Gu came over after get off work. He works during the day, so most of the time Gu Xiangdong and the newly hired nanny are here.
“I just finished chatting with Brother Wenze. He will be staying here for about half a month. In a few days, when he has time, he will come to give Grandma acupuncture. She should be able to recover to the point where she can take care of herself.”
"Wenze, Yang Wenze?"
Gu Xiangdong still had some recollection of the eldest son of Commander Yang, who used to live next door to the old man.
“Cao Wenze, he changed his surname to the same one as his mother.”
Gu Ye didn't look at Gu Xiangdong. He was just like Commander Yang. Unfortunately, his grandfather wouldn't allow him to change his surname back then. Otherwise, he would have been called Xu Ye, which would have sounded much better.
"That's the one, the closed-door disciple of some acupuncture master. It's said that his acupuncture skills are incredibly amazing. Back then, the Yang family pulled so many strings to get him to treat their eldest son, but he wouldn't agree."
Uncle Gu worked in a military-industrial enterprise, although he only produced bedding. However, he was able to hear about many things.
"Why did I agree? Wenze's sister died because of the two sons of the Yang family, and his mother died of depression because she was abandoned. Two lives were lost. How can we just laugh it off?"
Gu Ye gave Gu Xiangdong a cold look, said something to his third uncle, and then turned and left.
"Sigh, Gu Ye's hatred for me is even deeper than before, I can feel it."
Looking at his elderly mother and younger brother, Gu Xiangdong said with a melancholy tone, "It would be a lie to say I don't regret it."
“Eldest son, no matter how much you hate him, he is still your son and has to take care of you in your old age. Save your own retirement money and leave yourself a way out. Gu Ye can take care of you in your old age, but he can't take care of me in my old age.”
Grandma Gu wasn't asleep; she had just closed her eyes to rest and heard what Gu Ye said.
"I know, my half supports the family, so our half doesn't really count as a family anymore. I don't see Gu Bei for eight or ten days at a time, and he doesn't come home unless he's causing trouble."
Gu Bei's wife is the same; Gu Mei and Gu Xi don't come back either, only making a token appearance during holidays. Xu Fang, who spends all her time looking after Gu Bei's children, has become a bit dull-witted.
Gu Xiangdong thought about it and realized he didn't dare to think about how his life had turned out this way.
"Big brother, the conflict between you and Gu Ye is irreconcilable. Just like Mom said, you should manage your retirement pension well, live your own life, and not let outsiders gossip. That would be helping Gu Ye and his brother."
These two kids hold grudges. Look at our whole Gu family, apart from my Gu Wei, the only one who helped us out was because of our childhood friendship.
Gu Wei never bullied Gu Ye when they were kids, and he was close to the two brothers. As for the other kids, which one of them hadn't taken advantage of their misfortune? They all remembered it.
Uncle Gu has been reflecting deeply on this matter. He and Gu Xiangxi are not only resented for not helping Gu Ye and his brother.
More importantly, Gu Ye and his friends felt that their mother had always treated the Gu family well.
Conversely, the Gu family's behavior towards Xu Ning and Gu Ze can be considered a betrayal and an act of ingratitude. The two brothers felt sorry for their mother and took their anger out on her.
Having figured things out, Uncle Gu calmed down and decided to live his life quietly. If he angered them, he would invite retaliation from Gu Ye and his brother, and then he would have no good days left. It wouldn't be worth it.
Gu Ye had no idea that his third uncle had so many inner monologues, but he guessed most of them correctly.
Back home, the sounds of children playing and Bonnie pacing around dispelled Gu Ye's gloom, and his expression softened instantly, no longer as cold as ice.
"You're back! How's Wenze? Did the patient survive?"
Bonnie's barrage of questions warmed Gu Ye's body even more.
"I saw him, he's alright. Brother Wenze has done a great job this time. The Yang family, humph, they'll regret it to the core."
Wenze said that after these busy days, he'll take the old lady to see a doctor and try his best to help her take care of herself, so we won't have to worry about her as much.
Gu Ye felt resentful, and dark thoughts kept rising within him: Old Mrs. Gu should experience what it's like to be helpless and have no one to turn to.
There was no other way; his elder brother was in politics, and his reputation was very important. There were also the children like Liu Jiu and Bao Ni. All these people and things suppressed the malice in Gu Ye's heart.
"That's true. No matter how much you don't like her, she's still your grandmother, and she's acting out of a sense of righteousness."
Alright, I know you're unhappy and want to see her suffer. Let's consider it doing a good deed for the child; we'll suffer a little loss so she can have a peaceful end.
Bonnie and Gu Ze have lived together for so long, how could they not understand him? How could they not understand what he's thinking?
"Wife, what would I do without you? Would I become a bad person?"
Gu Ye held Bao Ni tightly; she was his salvation.
"Oh my god, I've got a sty!"
Sanqi came out to pour water and saw her parents hugging each other tightly in the living room. She subconsciously called out to them.
"I think you not only need to get a sty, but you also need to practice more."
Gu Ye released his wife, his mood was not good, and the child was superfluous.
"Dad, my dear dad, I really didn't mean it. It would be so much better if you went back to your room and hugged us. We're still kids, it's not good for us to see this too much!"
Sanqi was still arguing with his father when Xuanyi pulled him back. Really, didn't he see that his second uncle's face had turned black?
You can't mess with a tiger's backside. Gu Xuanming is a true warrior, and he doesn't want to be implicated. So he's doing extra training, and he'll remember it well from the first time.
