Chapter 267 Lin Jinshu's Purpose
Gu Yuehuai's attitude was beyond Yan Shaoli's expectations. She glanced at the rice and flour piled on the ground and said calmly, "Thank you for your trouble, Ms. Lin, but we don't need it. Take it back. You have a large family, and now you have to support Gu Ruihuai, which will cost more food."
After hearing this, Lin Jinshu's face became even more embarrassed. She clenched the bag in her hand, feeling a bit caught in a dilemma.
Yan Shaoli, a bystander, felt the atmosphere was suffocating and hurriedly carried Yan Shaotang back to the inner room. After all, they were outsiders, so they decided not to disturb their conversation. However, he was still very curious about the strange relationship between Gu Yuehuai and her mother.
After she left, the atmosphere in the room became even colder, and Lin Jinshu was like an unexpected intruder.
Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything and just ate her breakfast by herself. She really didn't know what to say to Lin Jinshu. Although they were mother and daughter by blood, they were not even as close as the members of the Dalaozi Production Brigade in name or emotion.
At this time, Gu Tinghuai handed a cup of hot water to Lin Jinshu and said, "Drink some water. Have you had breakfast?"
Lin Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Gu Yuehuai, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.
She cherishes the time she spends with the children and hopes to stay and talk to them more.
Besides, there was a reason why she came here today.
Gu Tinghuai saw a little bit of her feelings, glanced at Gu Yuehuai, and said, "Sit down, I'll serve you some porridge."
He once complained about Lin Jinshu and even hated him, but so much time had passed since the incident and their family was living better and better. He now found his previous thoughts ridiculous. Everyone was happy to pursue a good life, and no one was an exception.
He has let go of Lin Jinshu's choice back then, and now, he also hopes that Nannan can let it go.
Speaking of which, among the three brothers and sisters, only Gu Yuehuai has never gotten along with Lin Jinshu, and the two of them are indeed strangers.
Lin Jinshu took off his leather gloves, walked to the kang and sat down, staring at Gu Yuehuai in a daze.
She bit her lip, holding the hot cup of water in her cold hands, and said carefully: "Nannan, are you blaming your mother?"
Gu Yuehuai finished the last piece of cake and took a sip of porridge before he said slowly, "No, I told you last time that we have let it go. Can't you let it go? Now that you have made the choice, don't look back."
"I don't understand why you came here to deliver food. After all, you have never taken care of us in all these years."
Gu Yuehuai's voice sounded somewhat doubtful. She was truly confused, not being sarcastic. They hadn't moved in all these years. If Lin Jinshu wanted to find them, it wouldn't be difficult at all, but she had never come back.
If she hadn't met Lin Jinshu in the hospital last time, she might not have met her until now.
Although there is a shortage of food, sending food at this critical moment will only make her situation in the Qin family more difficult. After all, she has a mother-in-law who is in charge of everything and dislikes her very much. For the realistic Lin Jinshu, the gain is not worth the loss.
Could it be Gu Ruihuai? After being kicked by Tian Jing, he suddenly realized the good of his family?
Gu Yuehuai silently rejected this idea in his heart. After all, Gu Ruihuai's wolfish nature had been fixed. He seemed to be under a spell and even wanted to kill Tian Jing for her. Does such a person still have a conscience?
In his previous life, he chose to take care of her simply because he knew what Tian Jing had done to the Gu family and felt guilty. After her rebirth, she never gave up on him. Unfortunately, a person without a heart cannot be saved, and he never realized it.
Hearing this, the light in Lin Jinshu's eyes dimmed a little, and the fingers holding the water cup turned slightly white.
She moved her lips, and a trace of bitterness appeared on her well-maintained face: "Nannan, I know you blame me, but Mom has her own difficulties. Life was hard back then, and I couldn't have survived if I had followed your dad and taken care of you!"
"I thought about taking you away. I really did, but..."
Lin Jinshu's voice suddenly stopped, as if he didn't know how to talk about this past that he couldn't bear to recall.
Gu Yuehuai looked calm, as if she wasn't traumatized by her words. But in fact, she was abandoned by her mother right after she was born, and this past has always been a scar that is difficult for her to heal. She also once resented why Lin Jinshu didn't take her away.
However, the past is gone, and she has lived again with the regrets of her previous life. What else is there to complain about?
Gu Yuehuai shook his head, drank the porridge in the bowl, and said softly: "Ms. Lin, I really don't blame you."
Gu Tinghuai stood by the stove with porridge in his hand, listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter without going forward. He couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard this. After so many years, he came to understand this sister whom he had raised, and she was really relieved.
He always thought that Lin Jinshu was a thorn in her heart, so she called her Ms. Lin all the time. But now it seems that it is not the case. She really doesn't take this matter to heart, and she doesn't even take it as seriously as Yan Shaoli and Yan Shaotang.
Realizing this, Gu Tinghuai didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Privately, he hoped that Nannan could forgive Lin Jinshu. The latter was now truly repentant. No matter what the reason was, at least she was willing to take on the responsibility of being a mother. It was not too late.
He hopes that there will be one more person who can love Nannan so that there will be no regrets in her life.
Gu Tinghuai came forward, sat next to Gu Yuehuai, and handed the porridge in his hand to Lin Jinshu: "Nannan made the meal."
He didn't know why he added this sentence, probably just wanted everyone to know that Gu Yuehuai was a good person.
Lin Jinshu looked down at the meal on the table. It was fragrant and rich, but her heart felt like being pricked by a needle. She suddenly thought of Qin Huahao. Could she cook? No, she had lived a life like a rich lady since she was a child, and she had never known the taste of bitterness.
She lowered her head and took a sip of the porridge. It was sweet and soft, better than any porridge she had ever tasted.
Lin Jinshu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Gu Yuehuai's cooking skills were so good that he could cook ordinary porridge so deliciously.
She has such beauty, such skills, and a decent job, which can be said to be excellent conditions. If she continues to stay in the Dalaozi Production Brigade, it will only delay her future!
Lin Jinshu drank the porridge in the bowl silently. Thinking of this, he finally spoke about the purpose of coming here today.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Nannan, have you ever thought about living with your mother?"
After the words fell, Gu Yuehuai still had no expression, but Gu Tinghuai's face changed first. His heart sank, and he stared at Lin Jinshu sharply, and said bluntly: "You haven't taken care of Nannan for so many years. Now that she has grown up, you want to take care of her again?"
He looked at Lin Jinshu's pretty face, which was not much different from more than ten years ago, and smiled to himself.
Lin Jinshu's care and consideration for Gu Ruihuai made him think that she really came to her senses and wanted to be a good mother. But now it seems that he was just being too self-indulgent. She clearly had a plan, a plan for her daughter!
