Chapter 391 I think something is wrong with Old Man Gu

"Why?" Gu Yilan couldn't understand.

Gu Xiaoxi was also a little puzzled.

Grandpa Jiang was a wise man. He said softly, "I used to work in a bank. People outside have always said that I left a lot of money. Those people have searched my house countless times, but they didn't find anything."

"I guess someone thought that since I only have one daughter and my own house doesn't have the item, my daughter must have hidden it, so they thought of changing two houses to look for it slowly."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Is there another possibility?"

Grandpa Jiang nodded. "This is just my guess, but it's probably right. Fortunately, I am honest and have no evidence against me. Otherwise, I would have been one of the people demoted."

"These people are really hateful." Gu Yilan said angrily.

Jiang Xiuqing didn't say anything, but in fact, some people had secretly inquired about her family's situation, saying that her father had hidden treasures or something.

Gu Yimin didn't say anything, but was deep in thought.

His father never showed much emotion in front of him, and he really couldn't find anything unusual about him.

But the third brother inadvertently revealed a lot of information to Xiaoxi, indicating that Old Man Gu was just acting as a father in front of them.

"We need to think about this matter carefully. Don't investigate it on your own." Grandpa Jiang warned and turned to instruct Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, when you return to Qingbei, tell Jiansen about this and ask him to hire someone to secretly investigate this matter. I'm afraid it will lead to more trouble."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "I will. That's what I plan to do."

At this point, she stressed to her aunt, "Aunt, please don't make a fuss. We are just suspicious now, and there is no evidence to prove that he was the one who poisoned me. If it is confirmed that he was the one who poisoned my mother when she was pregnant with me, then Xiaozhi's claim that he is a fake grandfather may be because he heard something..."

She didn't explain the rest of the words clearly, but Gu Yilan already understood.

She felt very upset, but she also understood that she would gain nothing by speaking out about something without evidence.

"I will go to deliver meals to Uncle San again tomorrow and ask about Xiaozhi on the side. I will go back to Qingbei the day after tomorrow." Gu Xiaoxi greeted his family first.

"It's better to go back early." Grandpa Jiang nodded.

After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi opened the backpack he brought back and took out a watch for his grandfather.

"Grandpa, I bought this from abroad as a gift for you."

Grandpa Jiang smiled and nodded, "From now on, I will wear the ones you bought."

Gu Xiaoxi took out the portable calculator again and said, "This is also for you."

Jiang Waigong tried it and said with a smile, "If we had this thing before, it would have saved us a lot of effort and calculation time."

"Yes! Just keep it as a souvenir."

As she spoke, she took out an electric kettle for boiling water and gave it to her mother. "Some things abroad are still much more advanced than ours, and this is no exception. It's much more convenient to boil water with this."

Jiang Xiuqing looked at it left and right for a while, then immediately took it to try.

Gu Xiaoxi took out a medicine box and told the family which medicines to use and how to use them.

After she had finished her instructions, she went to wash up and go to bed.

Yu Chengshuang just acted as a background board throughout the whole process. When he saw Xiaoxi went to bed, he said hello to everyone and went to bed too.

Tomorrow, he will be a bored idler again.

…

The next day.

Gu Xiaoxi did not go to the hospital to deliver breakfast, but went to deliver lunch at 10:30.

When Mrs. Gu saw that she came with food including meat and vegetables, she felt relieved and went back first.

Today, the bed next to him was occupied by a new child, and Gu Xiaoxi suddenly brought up Xiaozhi's matter while discussing this topic.

"Uncle San, looking at the sick child in the next bed, I suddenly thought of Xiaozhi. Auntie is so pitiful!"

Gu Dongbao, who was preparing to eat, also sighed, "Yeah! Such a pitiful child at such a young age!"

"It was very cold when Xiaozhi came home to pay New Year's greetings. He fell ill with a fever after returning home. Children nowadays need special attention. They cannot stand the cold or freezing." Gu Xiaoxi found a random entry point.

Gu Dongbao took a bite of rice and said, "It's definitely cold in winter. Xiaozhi didn't wear much when he came to visit us the other day. After eating, he said he felt hot and took off his clothes for a while."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned. It was so cold, and he actually took off his clothes?

"Auntie, just let him take it off?"

"Your eldest aunt and your youngest aunt went to the river to pluck chicken feathers, otherwise they would have beaten that boy. Now that he has gone, he has caused your eldest aunt a lot of trouble."

"During the Chinese New Year, why did Grandpa agree to let Grandma go to Qingbei? I heard that Grandma also lost money during this trip to Qingbei."

Gu Dongbao snorted softly, "Your grandma said that it was stolen by Yin Chunsheng's mother. I guess it was Gu Ercheng and Gu Sanhu who stole it. They were very generous for a while after returning from Qingbei, and their clothes were not bad."

"Then why would my grandfather want my grandmother to go to Qingbei? It would be so lonely to spend the New Year alone at home."

"It was your grandfather who asked her to go to the army to see you and Gu Dali. When she left, she gave your grandmother 100 yuan to buy tickets and spare money. When she came back, she was left with no money."

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and felt that something was even more wrong with Old Man Gu.

Such a stingy person actually gave old lady Gu a hundred yuan to go to Qingbei?

She turned her gaze and saw the child in the next bed looking at his uncle eating with greedy eyes. She couldn't help but sigh again.

"Uncle San, look how happily that child is watching you eat! Xiaozhi must have watched you eat like this during the Chinese New Year! You never give us and Xiaozhi any delicious food. Look how good I was to you when you were sick!"

Gu Dongbao, who was eating meat, felt embarrassed at once.

As if to prove that he still had some conscience, he quickly said, "Didn't we have that condition before? Xiaozhi also ate well during the New Year. Your grandfather even made him some sweet soup himself. I had nothing to eat."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned and slowly clenched his hands into fists.

However, her tone was still calm. "My grandfather is such a frugal person, yet he still has the heart to make sugar water for Xiaozhi to drink. Are you kidding me? I have been his granddaughter for 20 years, and I have never drunk the sugar water he made."

Gu Dongbao said hurriedly, "I'm not lying, it's true. I also wanted to drink the sugar water at that time, but your grandfather slapped me hard, saying that I was such a big man, but I still snatched the sugar water made for the child. I said that the child was unlucky."

Gu Xiaoxi's mind was already racing at this point, with all sorts of conspiracy theories flashing through his mind.

How could she be willing to give Xiaozhi something that even her third uncle couldn't drink?

"Are you sure that what my grandpa made was sugar water? Not plain water?" Gu Xiaoxi quickly came to his senses and said in a nonchalant tone.

She felt there was a big problem here.
