Chapter 009 I'll Beat You to Death When You Come Home

Gu Yilan was startled and wanted to snatch the bag back, but she didn't dare.

"Mom, this is what Aunt Jiansen said. Give each person six candies. There's enough candy."

Besides, there are not many children in this courtyard.

Old Mrs. Gu snorted, "They all don't know how to live. I said I'll give you one pill at a time."

If you ask her for it, she won't give you any.

Anyway, the girl will be married off, so there is no need for her to do favors at home.

Gu Yilan frowned, but ultimately did not argue with her mother.

Old Mrs. Gu stood at the kitchen door and took a look like a king patrolling the mountains. Then, ignoring Jiang Xiuqing who was busy, she went into the house.

When Gu Yimin saw his mother coming, he immediately came over to say hello and poured her a cup of tea.

"Mom, please sit down and have a cup of tea!"

Old Mrs. Gu had no intention of drinking tea, her eyes were darting around the whole time.

When she saw the canned food and milk powder on the ground, she said, "Your father has not been feeling well recently, so give him a can of milk powder. I love canned food, so give me two cans."

Gu Yimin glanced at his mother, then handed the entire bag of milk powder and canned food to her.

"This is what Xiaoxi and Jiansen bought for you and Dad. They were planning to give it to you in the evening. Now that you're here, take it back first!"

Mrs. Gu's eyes suddenly widened, and then she smiled happily.

There are two cans of milk powder and four cans of food in this bag!

After getting the good stuff, she looked towards her son's room, then went back with the stuff smiling.

However, before leaving, he also took away the wedding candy that he had intercepted earlier.

When Gu Xiaomei saw what her mother brought back, her eyes lit up.

Great, she will take a can of milk powder and a can of food back later!

However, thinking about how sad her mother would be after losing a can of milk powder, she suggested again.

"Mom, I think you should go over there again tonight so that you can have some meat. If they can't finish it, you can bring some back."

But Mrs. Gu waved her hands and said, "I won't go. You go over and bring back a pot of meat and vegetables."

How much can she eat if she goes? If she doesn't go, they will have to send her more.

Seeing that her mother was not going, Gu Xiaomei said aggrievedly: "Mom, I want to take a piece of meat back!"

Old Lady Gu glanced at her and said, "If you want to take the meat back, go and ask for it yourself."

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxi is not here, and Lu Jiansen is not here either, so she doesn't want to go there at night.

Seeing that her mother refused to go, Gu Xiaomei simply went to her eldest brother's house.

My eldest sister-in-law is the one who likes to take advantage of others. She is not on good terms with my second sister-in-law. If I join forces with her, it should not be difficult to get a piece of meat.

Gu Xiaoxi, who was in the hospital at the moment, had no idea that someone was plotting to take her family's meat. She was whispering to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, what do you think of him?"

Grandpa Jiang smiled and patted her head. "He's a capable young man! After you go with him to join the army, take good care of yourself."

"Then when I'm settled down, Grandpa will go to the army to accompany me, okay?"

Gu Xiaoxi looked at his grandfather with hope on his face.

In her previous life, after her grandfather was discharged from the hospital, he still refused to live in her house. Finally, he fell and died at the end of the year.

Grandpa Jiang laughed, "Silly girl, why did you even think of asking grandpa to accompany you? I'm not your grandmother, and I can't even cook. Just live a good life with Jiansen."

"If grandpa doesn't go to the army, then you can live at my house and let my parents take care of you. Otherwise, I'll go to the army and come back to be with you."

Grandpa Jiang said helplessly: "Grandpa is afraid of you. I promised you that I will live in your house when I am discharged from the hospital."

"That's great!" Gu Xiaoxi was immediately happy.

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Jiansen came back after going to the attending physician to understand the situation.

"The doctor said that grandpa will be discharged from the hospital next Monday and go home to recuperate. I have coordinated with the hospital and they will send grandpa home by car when the time comes."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "That's great!"

Grandpa Jiang smiled and said to Lu Jiansen, "From now on, our Xiaoxi will be handed over to you. You must treat her well. When you have a vacation, we can come back together."

"Yes. I will. Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of her!"

With Lu Jiansen's assurance, Grandpa Jiang felt relieved. After giving them a few instructions, he let them go back first.

When passing by the hospital lobby, Gu Xiaoxi unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

She stopped and looked a little longer.

Lu Jiansen followed her line of sight and asked in confusion, "Do you know that man?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "That's my third uncle."

What is Uncle San doing in the hospital at this time?

When she was wondering, she saw a woman holding a test report and walking up to her uncle.

"I'm really pregnant, what do you think I should do?"

Gu Lao San was delighted. "That's great! That's great! I'll go back and tell my mother. She will definitely be very happy."

The woman frowned and asked in a low voice, "Do you dare to go back? You said you would take the money, so why did you set a fire?"

Gu Lao San said angrily, "It's all that damn girl Dali's fault. I couldn't break the lock, so she said to burn it with fire, make a hole, and then put out the fire. But I didn't expect my dad to come back early."

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

So, the fire started because of Gu Xinli?

In this life, Gu Xinli went to the countryside earlier, so the fire also happened earlier?

What she was curious about was, did Gu Xinli know that there was so much money in that closet?

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the woman next to her uncle mutter something again.

"Who is the person who sends money to your dad every year? I see he sends quite a lot every time. We need money to get married and have children, why don't you ask for that money?"

Gu Laosan's eyes widened immediately, "How did you know?"

The woman curled her lips and said, "I saw your father withdrawing money at the post office. Do you still want to hide it from me?"

Gu Laosan suddenly became anxious. While scratching his ears and cheeks, he suddenly saw Gu Xiaoxi who seemed to have just come down from the hospital building.

He suddenly froze!

Gu Xiaoxi responded very quickly: "Uncle San, why are you here? Did you know that my grandfather is hospitalized here and doesn't have enough money to pay the hospital bills, so you came to give me some money?"

Gu Laosan was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice, "No, I was just passing by."

Gu Xiaoxi seemed very surprised and said in astonishment: "Didn't I just hear you talking about withdrawing money from the post office? Didn't my brother send the money back? I'll go back and ask grandpa and grandma."

Gu Laosan was shocked when he heard this, and quickly took out two yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

"Xiaoxi, there's no need to ask your grandpa and grandma about this. You just misheard."

Gu Xiaoxi took the money and said with a smile, "Is that so? Maybe I heard it wrong. Third uncle, you set fire to the wardrobe where grandma kept her money. The eldest aunt and the youngest aunt instigated grandpa and said they would beat you to death when you come home! You should hide outside for a few days before coming back! I'm going home."

"Okay... okay!" Gu Laosan wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking relieved.

Gu Xiaoxi ignored him and turned around and left the hospital.
