Chapter 209: Even Death Can't Make You Rest in Peace (asking for monthly tickets～)
Du Guanghan racked his brains but couldn't come up with anything.
"Song Jinshu's health is so poor that the doctors said that at most one child can survive. The probability of one corpse and two lives is 99%. Having a child is a gamble with your life."
When Gu Bohuai woke up and remembered nothing, Du Shuang became interested and begged the old man for three days and three nights before he agreed.
They found the person without telling Gu Bohuai, but they didn't know that Song Jinshu was already more than three months pregnant.
At that time, Song Jinshu was already very weak, and several doctors said that at most one of the adult and the child would survive, and most likely neither of them would survive.
Du Shuang actually hoped that Song Jinshu would die quickly, but Old Man Du disagreed. He said that if the person was gone, Du Shuang could marry if she wanted, and he could hide it from Gu Bohuai. If Song Jinshu was not dead, then Du Shuang was not destined to be with him.
The Du brothers and sisters were very young at that time, and naturally they could not do anything without the old man's approval. It would be useless for Du Shuang to want Song Jinshu to die. Who would take someone's life for her?
While taking care of the injured Gu Bohuai, she prayed that the troublesome woman would die soon. Half a year later, she finally got the "good news" she had been dreaming of.
The Du family had previously told Gu Zhonghuai that his eldest brother had been "sacrificed" and had given him a "pension". Otherwise, there would be no suitable reason to leave his widowed sister-in-law to be taken care of by his younger brother's family.
They kept in touch with Gu Zhonghuai in the name of caring for the martyr's widow, until half a year later when they learned that Song Jinshu had died in childbirth and the child was stillborn.
When he saw Du Guanghan, Gu Zhonghuai even fainted from tears, and blamed himself for not preserving his brother's bloodline.
Other things may be a little vague, but Du Guanghan can still recall the scene of Gu Zhonghuai crying.
More than 20 years have passed since this old story happened, and she has been at peace with it for more than 20 years. Du Shuang never thought that she would meet someone who was 50% similar to Song Jinshu, and what a coincidence, also had the surname Gu.
"Are you still in contact with Gu Zhonghuai?" Du Shuang suddenly asked.
"Why should I contact him?" Du Guanghan was puzzled. Seeing his sister's serious expression, he tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Did Gu Zhonghuai look for you?"
Knowing that your brother is still alive, you come to ask for money?
Du Shuang's face looked very ugly, and every word he said was like stabbing a knife in her heart.
"I met a man who looked 50% like Song Jinshu, and 50%...like Lao Gu."
Du Guanghan's scalp went numb instantly. How could this be possible? !
"You must have seen it wrong. This, this, this, they do look alike, and Song Jinshu has been dead for so many years. Do you still remember what she looked like... ahem..."
Halfway through his speech, Du Guanghan suddenly found that he could still clearly recall Song Jinshu's face.
After all, he had only seen one woman as beautiful as her in his life.
Du Shuang gritted her teeth and said nothing. How could she not remember? She would not forget it even if she turned into ashes.
If it weren't for Song Jinshu, would she have waited until her twenties to get married?
Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, Du Guanghan comforted her, "Don't think too much. Maybe they just look alike. It's not such a coincidence, right?"
Du Shuang was furious. Was she here to seek comfort?
"What if Song Jinshu is not dead? What if he is Lao Gu's son?"
At that time, Gu Bohuai didn't even remember Song Jinshu, but it still took her three years to warm up the hard stone. Did she dare to take the risk?
With Du Guanghan's brain, it's no wonder he can't get real power. A deputy minister who fell behind has been in jail for half his life!
Du Guanghan was not good at anything else, but he was the best at reading his sister's face. He immediately said, "Don't worry. If you are worried, let's check it out."
Du Shuang said angrily: "Why do you think I'm looking for you? I can't interfere in the affairs of the tribe, so I can only investigate from other aspects."
Du Guanghan nodded: "Don't worry, I'll find a way, and I'll let you know as soon as there's any news."
"Well, you can check Gu Zhonghuai directly. If there is really a problem, he can't be completely unaware of it."
"I know. Don't be so sullen when you go back. Don't let your brother-in-law see it."
Du Shuang glanced at him: "Do you want me to say more?!"
She picked up the cold tea, drank it in one gulp, then stood up and left.
"Wait a minute, take some of this tea back. My brother-in-law has a bad stomach, so ripe Pu'er tea is the best for the stomach."
Du Shuang walked to the gate of the yard, and the woman named Ayun came out with two paper bags. Du Guanghan took them and said, "I'll come over for dinner tonight."
Ayun smiled and nodded, watching the two of them leave.
Du Shuang turned his head and glanced before getting into the car: "Brother, don't be so careless and delay my work again."
"How could that be? I always put your concerns first. Don't worry!"

After returning home, Du Shuang was still restless.
Gu Qingye's face kept lingering in her mind. Although she was not sure, she inexplicably had a feeling that this was Song Jinshu's child.
Du Shuang was well aware that Gu Bohuai had many complaints about Gu Yuanzheng, but as long as Gu Yuanzheng was the only son of the Gu family, all the resources of the Gu family would eventually belong to him.
But things are different now. Gu Qingye is a combat hero commended by the entire army. If Gu Bohuai knew that such a child was wandering outside, even if he couldn't remember who Song Jinshu was, it would not affect his recognition of his biological son.
Even if Du Shuang was unwilling to admit it, the facts were before her. From any angle, Gu Qingye better met Gu Bohuai's expectations for a son.
Du Shuang was so angry that her teeth were about to break.
Twenty years ago, Song Jinshu took away her marriage destiny, and twenty years later, that bitch's son came to snatch the resources for the expedition.
Why can't that bitch rest in peace even after death!
She believed that she had a clear conscience and she did not do anything. It was Song Jinshu's bad luck. Who could she blame?
My eldest brother went to see her in person and asked the doctor and the midwife, and he said that Song Jinshu died of complications during childbirth.
Apart from the fact that the grave has not been dug up to confirm it, this matter cannot be faked.
The only suspicious point is Gu Qingye. Gu Zhonghuai cried and complained that his baby was stillborn. So where did Gu Qingye come from?
Du Shuang's face was filled with gloom and she began to feel a chill in her heart.
The Du family has no successor, and the only person she can rely on now is her incompetent elder brother.
Du Shuang felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside these years. The connections her father left behind had not been used for many years, and she had no say in them anymore.
At this time, the voices of Gu Bohuai and Gu Hongying came from the door.
"Dad, really, you really agreed?"
"Are you sure you can hold on?"
"Of course I can do it, just wait and see!"
Gu Hongying wanted to participate in the Niushihezhong soldier selection. She didn't need to ask her father for help, as long as he allowed her to go. As long as her father agreed, her mother's opinion was not that important.
Her happy expression instantly disappeared when she saw Du Shuang.
Did you hear that? Are you going to say something about her again?
However, Du Shuang had no time to care about anything else at the moment. Her whole attention was on Gu Bohuai. She didn't dare to miss any of his expressions, for fear that he already knew something.
