Chapter 118: Greed is justified
Huaicheng.
Jiang Xiuqing burst into tears after reading the letter sent back by her daughter.
Fetal poison?
How come Xiaoxi has fetal toxins?
She looked at her husband and asked in confusion, "Who do you think would harm us?"
Gu Yimin was also having a headache at this time. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Grandpa Jiang thought for a moment and then asked, "Xiuqing, think carefully, who have you offended?"
Jiang Xiuqing thought about it again and again, and suddenly her eyes trembled slightly.
"Dad, do you think it could be Liu Chunhua from my uncle's family? I'm not someone who would easily make enemies with anyone, but this Liu Chunhua and I have always been at odds with each other."
Moreover, the relationship between my daughter and Gu Xinli is not good.
Gu Yimin was a little surprised, and after a while he said, "My sister-in-law is a bad-mouthed person, but she may not dare to poison someone, right?"
Jiang Xiuqing frowned, "Who would know? Didn't they dare to drug Lu Jiansen before? Why don't they dare to poison him now?"
Gu Yimin was silent.
What you said makes so much sense!
He just didn't expect that someone would dare to poison him.
"The important thing now is Xiaoxi. She has been weak since childhood, and now she is in the hospital because of fetal toxicity. I think the situation is quite serious. Xiuqing, are you feeling unwell?" Grandpa Jiang looked at his daughter with great concern.
Jiang Xiuqing shook her head. "Since Xiaoxi was born, she has had some minor ailments, but no serious problems."
Gu Yimin said immediately: "Didn't Dachuan's telegram ask you to go to Qingbei? Let's take a leave and go there to see our daughter and let the old Chinese doctor see you."
Grandpa Jiang heard this and said, "I heard on the radio that there was a heavy snowfall in Qingbei and many roads were closed. Jiansen is a soldier and will definitely be involved in the rescue. Why don't you take some time off and go there before the New Year to spend the New Year with them before coming back."
Jiang Xiuqing nodded immediately after hearing what her father said, "Okay. Then the three of us will go."
Grandpa Jiang was silent for a while before he said, "Did Xiaoxi tell us how big the house they were allocated is? Will it be big enough for everyone to live in? Don't cause them any trouble when the time comes."
"Then I'll write and ask." Jiang Xiuqing was already thinking about what to bring for her daughter when the time comes.
As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Yimin, didn't your mother say yesterday that Gu Xinli got married in the countryside and will also join the army?"
Gu Yimin was stunned for a moment, "I think I heard her say that."
"Where is she going to follow the army?" Jiang Xiuqing used to not care whether Gu Xinli got married or who she married.
Now that she heard that she was going to join the army, she suddenly felt inexplicably irritated.
She always felt that Gu Xinli was competing with her Xiaoxi in everything.
Gu Yimin asked tentatively: "How about I go over to ask my parents?"
Jiang Xiuqing nodded, "Go! Don't go empty-handed. Give the chicken heads and chicken butts that Xiaoxi sent back to her grandma. After all, they are meat."
When she said this, she felt like laughing.
The dried chicken that my daughter sent back contained so many chicken heads and chicken butts, and she even specifically sent them to the two old people.
Yes, if you don’t send something, the old lady will come and ask for things.
When Grandpa Jiang heard this, he suppressed a smile.
His little granddaughter is very naughty!
Gu Yimin quickly took the things his wife had asked him to do and went to Old Man Gu's house.
At this time, only Mrs. Gu was at home.
I was quite happy to see Gu Yimin bringing me something.
Since he didn't deliver it, she was about to go over to get it after dinner.
She saw people from the post office delivering letters and parcels to them today.
Besides, that damn girl Gu Xiaoxi has sent packages to my home more than once.
But I never thought of these two old guys.
But when she opened the bag and found it was full of chicken heads and chicken butts, her face changed immediately.
"Gu Yimin, you want to die? You have a good chicken but you don't give it to me. You only give the head and tail. Do you want to send me and your father away?"
Gu Yimin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaoxi knows someone from the supply and marketing cooperative, and these things are cheap and don't require tickets. I thought they were all meat, so I bought them at a low price. If mom doesn't like them, we can keep them for ourselves to eat."
"That damn girl only sent this thing back?" Old Mrs. Gu was a little angry, but she put the bag away.
Even though some parts of the chicken are not appealing, it is meat after all, and no one would give it up.
Gu Yimin's face darkened. His mother was going too far. She even called his daughter a bitch in front of him.
"Mom, Xiaoxi has only been in the army for a short time. It's freezing cold in Qingbei and supplies are scarce. It's good that she can still think about home."
Having said this, he paused and changed the subject.
"I heard Xinli got married too. Did she send you anything?"
Old Lady Gu was very proud when she heard this. She raised her chin and smiled, "Xinli really cares about me as a grandmother. When she went to the countryside, she caught a lot of fish and dried them and sent them back. She is also lucky. She married a deputy head of the regiment, whose rank is higher than that Lu Jiansen."
Gu Yimin was very surprised. "Marry the deputy commander? Which military region is he in?"
Old Lady Gu coughed lightly and said, "What a coincidence! I heard that Xinli is also accompanying the army in Qingbei. They will have someone to take care of them there in the future."
Gu Yimin was overwhelmed.
Take care of? Take care of a ghost!
Just don't cause trouble for the creek!
Thinking of this, he no longer had the heart to chat with his mother.
He returned home and told his father-in-law and daughter-in-law about it.
Jiang Xiuqing couldn't help but frown when she heard this, "How could this be such a coincidence?"
No, she had to write to her daughter and tell her.
Just as she picked up the pen, Grandpa Jiang tapped the table and said, "Writing letters is very slow, send a telegram."
"So what do you mean?" Jiang Xiuqing looked at her father.
If Gu Xinli had already gone to Qingbei Junbei, she couldn't send a telegram asking her daughter to be on guard against Gu Xinli!
It’s not good to post such content directly!
But she just suspected that the fetal poison was caused by Liu Chunhua's family.
"Just say that Dali followed the army to Qingbei, and her parents visited her before the New Year!" Grandpa Jiang's words were concise and to the point.
"There's still time to go to the post office. I'm going to send a telegram." Gu Yimin immediately got up and rode out on his bike.
On the other side, Liu Chunhua also rushed to the post office carrying some salted fish.
She didn't understand what was wrong with her daughter. She actually asked her to send these fish to that damn girl Gu Xiaoxi.
Moreover, there are six fish!
Why send so much if there is nothing to do?
After thinking about it, she simply bought all four.
Although my daughter kept telling me that these fish were special and asked me to send them to Gu Xiaoxi.
But, she sent several messages, and her daughter couldn’t ask Gu Xiaoxi, right?
Thinking of this, she felt justified and strong about her greed for the fish.
