Chapter 379 How about you just bear with it for a bit?
Jiang Xiuqing said with red eyes: "We also went to see Xiaozhi after returning from Qingbei. He was very weak, his face was very pale, and his breath was very weak. Seeing him reminded me of you when you were a child. You were also so sick and weak, and you had a fever from time to time..."
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned again when he heard this, "Same as when I was a child? But mine is fetal poison?"
Her words also stunned Gu Yimin and Jiang Xiuqing.
"Yes! It's fetal poison, it's poison! Xiaozhi..."
Gu Yilan is also a very smart person. She immediately held Gu Xiaoxi's hand.
"Xiaoxi, what fetal poison are you talking about?"
Seeing that her aunt didn't know that she was poisoned, Gu Xiaoxi told her that after arriving in Qingbei, she was diagnosed with fetal poisoning.
Gu Yilan was shocked. "Fetal poison? But I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere!"
At this point, she slapped her head again, "Xiaozhi's symptoms are really similar to Xiaoxi's when he was a child. He had a fever every other day, and the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with him. They said he had caught a cold. But Xiaozhi's condition is more serious. He just had a fever at first, but later he became incontinent..."
At this point, she choked up again.
Gu Xiaoxi was silent for a while before saying, "Aunt, there is no sign of poisoning in your body. Xiaozhi's..."
She wanted to ask whether Xiaozhi's body was still preserved, but seeing how sad she was, she couldn't ask.
Jiang Xiuqing knew what her daughter was thinking and helped explain: "She has been buried and cremated."
Gu Xiaoxi frowned, "Who requested cremation?"
In fact, according to the custom in Huaicheng, children who died young are usually buried directly in the mountains, and few are cremated, as it is said that cremation will prevent them from being reborn.
"That's what your great aunt said, and that's what your grandparents also asked for," said Gu Yimin.
"Grandpa and grandma didn't go to pick up my aunt today, right?" Gu Xiaoxi asked thoughtfully.
Jiang Xiuqing nodded, "They said that it was the children who went, and the elders couldn't worry about it, because it would be bad for the family's luck."
Gu Xiaoxi said angrily, "They are just selfish and biased. If my aunt encountered such a thing, Grandpa would definitely not stand idly by."
It was Gu Xiaoxi's complaint that reminded Gu Yilan of what her son had said to her before he died.
She recalled with tears in her eyes: "On the day when Xiaozhi came to pay New Year's greetings to your grandpa, he told me when he came back that your grandpa gave your aunt's son Xiaoqing two yuan as a New Year's gift, but gave my Xiaozhi ten cents. He also gave your uncle one hundred yuan. Xiaozhi cried and told me that grandpa was a fake grandpa and a bad old man..."
Gu Yilan was just complaining, but Gu Xiaoxi focused on the last sentence.
"Fake grandpa? Aunt, is that what Xiaozhi said?"
Gu Yilan nodded with red eyes, "Yes. Xiaozhi also said that he would never visit him again, and asked me not to go either."
Gu Xiaoxi was silent for a while before looking at his father. "Is it possible that this is true? I have always felt that grandpa and grandma were not good to you and your aunt. You two are obviously the most filial, but they like to exploit you the most."
Gu Yimin sighed, "After I came back from Qingbei, I asked about some past events, and they all said that I was your grandpa and grandma's biological child."
Gu Yilan smiled bitterly and said, "I'd rather it's fake."
What Xiaoxi said was exactly what she was thinking.
Obviously, she and her second brother are the most filial ones, and they are also the ones who do the most for the family.
But from childhood to adulthood, they are the least liked.
She doesn't care about these anymore, she just wants her Xiaozhi to be alive!
Her son was only five years old, so young that his life had not yet begun.
Why is God so unfair? Why?
At this time, Yu Chengshuang whispered, "Sister Xiaoxi, let me get you a blood tester! Whether it's parent and child, or grandparents and grandchildren, we can tell if there's any blood relationship with just one test."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded to indicate yes.
"Is there such a testing instrument?" Jiang Xiuqing was a little surprised, but also a little expectant.
Gu Xiaoxi coughed lightly, "At present, our country does not have it. But I escorted a foreign businessman abroad this time, and heard from doctors in foreign hospitals that some people have been doing research in this area. Although we can't buy this kind of testing equipment now, we can try other methods. I just think Xiaozhi would say bad old man, but there is no reason and I can't think of saying something like fake grandfather."
When Gu Yilan heard this, she covered her face and started crying.
Because she realized that she did not take the child's words seriously at the time, but just felt that the child was treated differently and felt uncomfortable.
But Xiaoxi's words made her realize a problem. If he was really a fake grandpa, then...
"Aunt, you should have a good sleep first! Regain your energy!"
Gu Xiaoxi had seen her father put her aunt's things in the room where her brother used to live, so she went into the room and lit a calming incense.
Jiang Xiuqing also went to pour some water for Gu Yilan, asking her to wash up and go back to her room to rest.
Fearing that she might have wild thoughts, she stayed inside with her for a while.
Gu Yimin sat in the living room for a while before he said to his daughter, "Xiaoxi, there's been a lot going on at home lately. Your grandpa has moved back to the old house. You can go see him tomorrow. Your mother and your aunt will sleep at night. Can this gay man sleep in the same room with me?"
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Yu Chengshuang and indicated with his eyes: How about you just bear with it for a while?
Yu Cheng blinked her eyes to indicate her refusal, then glanced at the old wooden sofa in her living room.
Gu Xiaoxi immediately understood, and then said to his parents: "He should sleep in the living room tonight!"
"It's not comfortable to sleep here! Why don't we go to a guesthouse and get a room?" Jiang Xiuqing felt it was unfair to let the guests sleep in the living room.
Yu Chengshuang said hurriedly, "No, the living room is nice. Actually, I'm not sleepy and don't want to sleep."
Gu Xiaoxi also nodded, "Mom, let him stay with me tonight! We slept all the way back from the car. I will take him to stay at grandpa's house tomorrow. It's just right for him to accompany grandpa."
Jiang Xiuqing nodded, "That's fine. Bring a quilt out of your room later."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay."
Because Gu Yilan fell asleep quickly, Jiang Xiuqing didn't chat with her daughter any more. She just took a shower and went to bed.
Gu Yimin chatted with Yu Chengshuang for a while before going to bed.
After his parents fell asleep, Gu Xiaoxi asked Yu Chengshuang to move the things in the living room aside, then took away the old table sofa at home, picked out an expandable wooden sofa bed from the exchange mall, and threw a comfortable silk quilt and a new pillow for Yu Chengshuang.
"You will go to sleep!"
After saying that, she took out another artificial leaf that Yu Chengshuang had taken apart and considered where to hang it.
