An An turned around and looked at Wen Nuan. After seeing Wen Nuan nod, he said happily:
"Really? Thank you, Uncle Li. An An loves roast duck the most!"
"Okay, let's go eat roast duck later!"
"Why wait? Why not go now?"
An An touched her belly. After studying and fighting all afternoon, she felt a little hungry.
Wen Nuan saw the lady's little action and naturally guessed the reason, and began to explain:
"Gu Pengfei's father will bring Gu Pengfei over to apologize to you later. After he apologizes, we'll go eat!"
"Really? Did he come over to apologize? Mom, you are amazing. You are the best mom in the world!"
"You little bootlicker, since he was the one who started the fight and cursed, then of course he should apologize. Our children will never be bullied in vain!"
Different from the harmonious and pleasant atmosphere with Wen Nuan and the others, in the ward, Zhou Guilan looked at her husband with a puzzled look on her face and asked:
"Dachuan, are you really going to give the money to that woman? Why? It was our son who was injured! Why?
I don't believe that she, a woman, can make you lose your job? Tell me, are you obsessed with her?"
Gu Dachuan was already feeling upset, and after hearing what Zhou Guilan said, he lost all his patience.
"Shut up! What are you yelling about? Do you think I'm in trouble? You're just talking nonsense all day long with long hair and little knowledge!"
After being yelled at by Gu Dachuan, Zhou Guilan felt even more aggrieved.
"I did this for our family and my son. If you give her all the money, how will we live in the future?"
Zhou Guilan shed tears as she spoke, completely losing her initial arrogance.
Gu Pengfei was sitting on the hospital bed. Seeing his parents like this, he was also frightened. How come they were in kindergarten just now? What happened now?
"dad....."
Seeing the somewhat frightened look of 껗's son, Gu Dachuan sighed and then came to his son.
"Pengfei, dad will take you to apologize to An An and the others later. Remember to behave better, okay?"
"Why! It was He Zhizhang and Li Qianjin who beat me up and injured me, why did I have to apologize?"
Gu Pengfei became angry and completely forgot his previous panic. He frowned and questioned his father in confusion.
"Be good and listen to Daddy. Who told you to pull someone's hair first and then curse at him?"
"I just wanted to play with her. Who made her so stingy? Besides, not everything I said was true. Li Qianjin was an orphan!"
"Okay! Whether they are orphans or not, it has nothing to do with you. Let your mother give you some clothes and shoes. When I get the money back, we'll go and apologize!"
"I won't, I won't apologize to them, for any reason! I just won't!"
Gu Dachuan rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes full of fatigue and helplessness.
"Stop making trouble! If you don't listen, I'll beat you up! I've said all the good and bad things to you, and if you still make trouble, I'll throw you away and let you have a taste of what it's like to be an orphan!"
"You...you...wow..."
Completely frightened by his father's ferocious look, Gu Pengfei immediately burst into tears.
"Why..."
With a sigh, Gu Pengfei looked at Zhang Xiuying and Zhou Guilan and said:
"Mom, you and Guilan take care of Pengfei. I'll go home and Ma Xiao will come over. If I don't come back, you are not allowed to leave this room. Do you understand?"
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Knowing what her son meant, Zhang Xiuying quickly nodded and agreed, fearing that this would annoy her son and cause him to take his anger out on herself.
The Gu family lived in an alley near the hospital in a small suite with its own door and yard. This house was left by Gu Dachuan's grandfather.
Several generations of the Gu family have lived here, and now it's in the hands of Gu Dachuan, and I don't know if he can keep it.
A small box was found at the bottom of the closet. Inside it were two gold bars and a few gold rings. The rest were three large bundles.
Each bundle was worth one thousand yuan. In addition to these three bundles, there were also some small change and various bills in the box.
All of the Gu family's belongings were here. Giving Wen Nuan these three thousand yuan was equivalent to emptying out most of the Gu family's assets.
Reaching out and touching these big things, Gu Dachuan's heart was bleeding. After so many years, he had finally accumulated these belongings.
Of the three thousand yuan, some was left by my grandfather, some was left by my father, and some was compensation from my father's workplace when he died of a work-related injury.
What was left was his salary over the years, as well as some savings from occasional favors, small gifts, and other miscellaneous contributions.
Now, all of a sudden, he was being taken advantage of by others. Gu Dachuan felt very aggrieved.
He had to give her the money! Compared to the three thousand yuan now, he cared more about his job and face.
Just keep your job. Even if you lose it now, you will still have it in the future, or even more.
If he loses his job, Tani Okawa will not be able to survive in Kyoto.
With a long sigh, Gu Dachuan took out two old newspapers, wrapped the money, put it in a cloth bag, and walked towards the hospital.
With every step he took toward the hospital, Gu Dachuan felt as if a sword was pressing against his heart.
No matter how reluctant he was, he finally arrived at the hospital gate. For the first time in his life, he felt that it was not a good thing for his home to be too close to the hospital.
In the ward, Zhang Xiuying had finally calmed down her crying grandson. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw her son walk in carrying a cloth bag.
"Dachuan, think carefully, once you send this money, you can't get it back!"
"Mom, if I don't send you off, I won't be able to keep my job. Wen Nuan has a background, we can't afford to offend her!"
"Even if you give her the money, you can keep your job! Don't let it go in vain!"
"If I don't give you money, my whole family will be arrested and taken to the police station. Not only will we lose our jobs, we may even be sent to labor camps!"
"Is it really that serious? We are the ones who got beaten!"
Gu Dachuan was also depressed! Didn't he know who was being beaten? Even if he was, there was nothing he could do! Now was his only chance!
"That's it! No matter what, I have to give it a try. If she accepts the money and is happy, she might let us go!"
"Hey! Just make up your mind!"
Gu Dachuan nodded calmly, then turned his gaze to Gu Pengfei who was sitting next to him and said:
"Pengfei, come with me to apologize to your classmates. Don't be willful and have a good attitude. Got it?"
"Yeah...I know!"
