Chapter 388 I took one look at him and felt miserable
Gu Yimin also said in confusion: "Your uncle sent me a letter this morning, saying that your third uncle had his head broken by your grandfather and is now in the hospital!"
"When did it happen?" Gu Xiaoxi looked confused.
She saw that Gu Dongbao was fine in the morning!
"It happened this morning. I don't know the details. Since the relationship hasn't been exposed, let's go and take a look."
"Okay! Let's go check it out."
She also wanted to know why Old Man Gu wanted to beat Dongbao.
You know, Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s favorite child is Gu Dongbao.
"Brother, should I go?" Gu Yilan asked in a low voice.
Gu Yimin immediately shook his head, "No. You keep telling others that you are not feeling well and don't contact them. I have been thinking these past two days that your sister-in-law was poisoned in the womb and Xiaoxi has been in poor health since she was a child. Was it them who did it? And Xiaozhi. Just in case, it is best not to contact them. Don't eat anything they give you in the future."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "Yes, be careful. Old man Gu is scary!"
Being able to hide so much money at home means that he is not only good at hiding it, but he might have also committed some crime.
He should be able to do something like poisoning.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the old man who had been her grandfather for twenty years was like a poisonous snake in the dark.
Grandpa Jiang paused in his eating and looked at Xiaoxi thoughtfully.
After dinner, he sent Gu Yimin away and called Xiaoxi to the room to talk.
"Xiaoxi, why do you say that old man Gu is scary?"
He believed that in the past, she would have called Old Man Gu hateful, but there must be other reasons for the word "terrible".
Seeing how sensitive his grandfather was, Gu Xiaoxi immediately moved closer to his ear and whispered a few words.
Grandpa Jiang's expression suddenly changed. "So much money?"
Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "So I think he's scary. He might really be able to do something like poisoning. Now I don't know whether I should tell my parents or not. I'm a little hesitant."
Grandpa Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't tell them yet. Gu Dongbao's hospitalization is most likely related to the loss of the money."
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned. "Grandpa is saying..."
"Yes. Otherwise, he loved your uncle so much that he wouldn't have beaten him so badly that he had to be hospitalized. He probably suspected that he took the money."
At this point, Grandpa Jiang became nervous again, "Did anyone find out when you went there?"
Gu Xiaoxi shook his head hurriedly, "No one noticed. I went there to look for the letter, and when I saw the things inside, I just put them in my pocket and ran away. It took less than two minutes."
"Is the East and West Tibet OK?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I hid it. I just don't know whether he stole the money or whether the mysterious Xie Zhu sent it to him over the years."
Grandpa Jiang shook his head immediately after hearing this. "It's impossible that it was sent. You don't understand. No one dares to send such a large amount of money easily. It will be checked. Only money of unknown origin will be hidden in the hands of an old man who will not be suspected and looks honest."
"He left at about 5:30 in the morning and hasn't been back for a long time. What do you think he was doing out so early?"
"I'm not sure about that. When you go to the hospital later, be careful and behave as usual. Don't be too concerned, and don't be indifferent. And don't ask too many questions."
"good."
Grandpa Jiang gave a few more instructions, then went out and said to his son-in-law, "Since he's in the hospital, take out the remaining pork chop soup in the pot and send it to the hospital! After all, it's a token of your thoughtfulness."
"I'll go." Gu Xiaoxi immediately went to the kitchen and took out a thermos bucket to fill up the half pot of leftover pork rib soup.
As for other things, of course they are not prepared.
When they arrived at the hospital, before Gu Xiaoxi could ask about Gu Dongbao's ward number, she saw Gu Xiaomei who had also come to the hospital after lunch.
When Gu Xiaomei saw Gu Xiaoxi, she was stunned for a while, "Why is Xiaoxi back?"
"Well, I just happened to have some time, so I came back to take a look. I heard that my aunt went to work at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Gu Xiaomei nodded proudly, "Yes! If you come to buy something, come to me."
"Okay. But, aunt, do you know why Third Uncle was injured? Why did eldest uncle say that he was beaten by grandfather? Is he wrong?" Gu Xiaoxi asked casually.
Gu Xiaomei snorted softly, "He deserves to be beaten to death. I heard that your third uncle got into trouble this time and stole the old couple's coffin."
Gu Xiaoxi was shocked. "Grandpa and grandma have saved money all their lives. They must be much older now, right?"
"Yes, your grandma said there are more than a thousand!"
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned when he heard this. "How can there be more than a thousand? Didn't they say they had little money left after the fire at home last time? Didn't they ask us to pool our money to buy furniture and other things for them?"
Gu Xiaomei was dumbfounded, "Yeah! How can there be more than a thousand?"
Gu Xiaoxi reminded him, "That might be Grandpa's private savings. Grandma probably doesn't know about it. She also doesn't know what happened to Third Uncle."
Gu Xiaomei's mind was busy and she walked slowly.
Gu Xiaoxi also accompanied him leisurely.
Gu Yimin walked at the end, thinking about what his daughter said.
The three of them entered the ward together, and Gu Dongbao was the only one inside.
His head was wrapped in gauze and he looked miserable. He would pull the corners of his mouth from time to time because of the pain.
"Uncle San, we're here to see you." Gu Xiaoxi walked to the bedside and greeted him.
When Gu Dongbao saw someone coming to see him, he suddenly started crying despite being such a grown man.
"Brother, sister, you have to help me! I really didn't steal any money, I really didn't. The old man went crazy and hit me on the head with a stick. My legs, waist, and back were all hit by the stick..."
Gu Xiaoxi looked him up and down and felt miserable!
But she didn't feel sorry at all.
"Uncle San, my parents cooked some pork chop soup and asked me to bring it over. Come up and have some. By the way, where are grandpa and grandma?"
"Your grandpa is crazy and has gone to find money. Your grandma has gone to the hospital cafeteria to get food."
Gu Dongbao endured the pain and sat up. His empty stomach finally felt a little better after drinking the pork rib soup.
"Uncle San, how much money did you take to make grandpa have the heart to beat you so cruelly? I feel sorry for you when I see you." Gu Xiaoxi took a stool and sat next to him, asking with concern.
Gu Xiaomei also listened curiously, she also wanted to know.
Her parents have so much money, why don't they give her any?
"He said he lost all his coffin money, which was a lot of money."
Gu Xiaoxi poked his finger and said calmly, "Didn't grandpa's house burn down last time? How much money can a coffin cost? It's only a few dozen dollars! They are so cruel to hit you. It's really too much. Why can't you talk to them in a nice way? You are their own son, but they treat you like an enemy."
