Chapter 390 Your Grandpa Said Your Dad Was Unlucky

Old Mrs. Gu curled her lips and said, "That family was moving furniture late last night and it was so noisy. How could I not know? How much did you pay them to move the house?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her expression and said sarcastically, "They just gave away all the money my parents had saved for so many years. My mother didn't want to change, but you guys didn't care about my aunt, she's so pitiful. If my brother and I come back to live here during the Chinese New Year, she'll have nowhere to live. It just so happened that they begged my grandfather to change the house for a long time, and finally they agreed to do so."

"It's better to move. I can live in a bigger house." said Mrs. Gu.

Gu Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Old Mrs. Gu was a stingy person, and she seemed too calm about their family's move to a new house.

If she had used this tone before, the old woman would have scolded her.

"Grandma, please go back and help my grandpa find some money! And take a rest by the way. I'll stay here to look after Uncle San. You can come and take my place at around four or five o'clock so I can go back to cook dinner and bring it to the hospital." Gu Xiaoxi was very considerate.

Old Mrs. Gu also wanted to go back and take a look, so after hearing what she said, she really went back.

As soon as Old Lady Gu left, Gu Xiaoxi chatted with Gu Dongbao for a while.

The topic then turned to their move to a new house, and she said the new house was quite close to her grandfather's house.

Gu Dongbao didn't care at all where their family moved to. After talking for a while, he gave Gu Xiaoxi a task, asking her to inform Widow Li about his illness and ask her to come and see him.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask one more question after hearing this, "Uncle San, why don't you marry her? Didn't I see you guys in the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department last time and you said she was pregnant?"

Gu Dongbao said with some depression: "The child was not saved and was miscarried. Your grandfather refused to let her marry, and I had no choice. In the end, I gave her a little money."

Gu Xiaoxi was a little confused, "Why don't you let her in? She's pregnant with your child, and you won't let her in?"

"He said that Widow Li has a bad fate and is not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of our Gu family."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned. "How dare he believe this in this day and age?"

Gu Dongbao looked around and then said in a low voice, "Your grandfather has always believed in it. He would ask someone to calculate everything for him. Sometimes I even think he's crazy."

"Why do you say that?" Gu Xiaoxi also asked in a low voice.

Gu Dongbao curled his lips, "He said Widow Li was destined to have no sons, and that I should marry a woman with gold in her destiny, so that I can have twins. He also said that I should not get married within ten years, otherwise there will be disasters. If I don't get married in ten years, then I will be a bachelor forever."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "From what you said, he is insane. How can a father say that about his son? Does he dislike my dad because he asked someone to tell his fortune and think my dad has a bad fate?"

Gu Dongbao glanced at her and said mysteriously, "You are right. Your grandfather said that your father had a bad fate and his children would die early. But you have been sick since you were a child, but you are still alive and well, and you even married a military officer. Your life is so good! That's why I said he was insane."

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly.

That old man said that she and her brother would die early?

Could it be that he wanted to kill them?

She didn't continue the topic, but deliberately changed the subject to food.

After listening to Gu Dongbao's words, Gu Xiaoxi learned a lot about what she thought was strange about Old Man Gu.

At half past four, Mrs. Gu came to the hospital with a gloomy face.

You don't need to ask to know that he didn't find the money and was very angry when he returned.

Gu Xiaoxi said he was going back to make dinner and left.

After leaving the hospital, she stopped by the post office and called Lu Jiansen.

However, the soldier who answered the phone said that Lu Jiansen was out on a mission, so she had to ask the other party to tell Lu Jiansen that she had returned to Huaicheng and would be back in two days, and then hung up the phone.

After returning to her new home, she quickly cooked dinner and prepared rice, flour, oil, grain and various seasonings in the kitchen. Then she hurried to the hospital with the dinner.

When Gu Dongbao saw that Gu Xiaoxi had prepared two big meatballs, a fish head, a plate of salted vegetables, and a bowl of fine white rice for dinner, his eyes lit up.

Normally he couldn't say whether he liked or disliked Gu Xiaoxi, but now he really liked this niece.

Mrs. Gu looked at them with both joy and dissatisfaction. "I'm in the hospital too. Didn't you prepare dinner for me?"

Gu Xiaoxi apologized, "We don't have much refined rice at home, so I cooked it specially for Uncle San. He's a patient, so he should eat better. Grandma, please go home for dinner! My dad may have already prepared it. I'll stay here with Uncle San until he goes home for dinner at eight o'clock."

Gu Dongbao also hurriedly said: "Yes. Mom, you go back!"

Anyway, I'm just staring at him gloomily here.

After she left, the dishes no longer had to be shared out and he ate them all by himself.

Old Mrs. Gu was also hungry, and when she saw Gu Xiaoxi was there to watch over her and her son was well fed and well drunk, she left.

Gu Xiaoxi chatted with him idly, just like he did in the afternoon.

At eight o'clock, Mrs. Gu didn't come, but Gu Xiaoxi still went back.

When I arrived at the new house, I found that everyone in the family was there and my grandfather had already moved in.

"Xiaoxi, haven't you had dinner yet?" Gu Yilan asked.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "I haven't eaten yet!"

"There's still food in the pot. I'll heat it up for you." Gu Yilan immediately went into the kitchen.

"Xiaoxi, are you going to the hospital tomorrow?" Jiang Xiuqing felt that her daughter was too considerate towards her uncle.

I even made meatballs for him!

Gu Xiaoxi sat down and immediately told them the information he had heard from Gu Dongbao today.

Jiang Xiuqing was so excited that her eyes turned red after hearing this, "He actually said that you two would die young? It was him, he must have poisoned you..."

Gu Yilan, who was in the kitchen, also ran out with red eyes, "Xiaoxi, did your uncle really say that?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "Yes. Uncle San said that Old Man Gu is very superstitious and would not let him marry Widow Li..."

She repeated Gu Dongbao's complete words to everyone.

Then she continued, "From what my third uncle said, the old couple from the Gu family lost more than a thousand yuan, and he suspected that they lost even more. Their money is suspicious. They said that their coffin book was burned when their house caught fire before, and now they say that their coffin book is lost. They have so many coffin books..."

"Also, Uncle San said that the old man often goes out in the middle of the night. He has seen him many times..."

Grandpa Jiang was silent for a long time before he said, "The source of this money is unknown, and they will not report it to the police. The matter should be left unresolved."

"But I discovered something today. My grandma and my third uncle were not surprised at all about our family swapping houses with someone else. In fact, they seemed to be happy to agree with it. There shouldn't be any problem with this house, right?" Gu Xiaoxi asked cautiously again.

Hearing this, Grandpa Jiang said, "That family insisted on changing houses. In addition to the family conflicts, another reason was that someone at the neighborhood committee gave them this idea."

"If you say they weren't surprised, it could be that they had heard about it before. Another reason could be that they had received a favor from someone before and wanted us to change rooms."
