Chapter 87 You Must Cherish
Hearing this, the smile on Gu Dong's face disappeared and he lowered his head.
Seeing him like this, Yu Lixin frowned and said, "You don't want Aunt Yu to divorce your father and let your mother come back, do you?"
Gu Dong still kept his head down and said nothing.
But in fact, he hadn't thought about this for many days.
"What's so good about your mother?" Yu Lixin couldn't help but ask, "She's never taken care of you, never cooked for you, never washed your clothes, and even made you go to the cafeteria to get food."
"You had a fight with Bai Xiaohu before, and it was clearly Bai Xiaohu's fault for stealing your things. Bai Xiaohu's mother came to our house, and she scolded you without even asking why, saying you were embarrassing her. I tried to explain for you, but she wouldn't listen."
Yu Lixin wrinkled his nose. He still felt angry when he mentioned this matter.
He helped Gu Dong explain, but Aunt Lin still looked at him with disgust, as if he was some dirty thing.
“Look at Aunt Yu again. She cooked such delicious meals for you, washed your clothes, and did your laundry for you. But when Gu Nan and Gu Xibei had a fight, she even came to fight with Liu Qin.”
"Aunt Yu treats you much better than your biological mother. You said before that Aunt Yu abused you, but Aunt Yu never scolded you or beat you. Sometimes my family can't even have meat three times a month." When my hometown urgently needed money.
"Even though you teased her so much before, she still never said a harsh word to you and took good care of you."
Yu Jianshe didn't say anything. What his younger brother Yu Lixin said was what he wanted to say.
Although he said that his biological mother was not good in front of Gu Dong, it was indeed the truth.
He also didn't like Aunt Lin very much. Although she was very pretty, she always acted superior and looked down on his mother in front of his mother, which was annoying.
Gu Dong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yu Lixin put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Although Aunt Yu hit you once later, you really went too far. I think you deserved it."
"Aunt Yu is so good to you, you really have to cherish her. Otherwise, one day when Aunt Yu is heartbroken by you and really passes away, you won't be able to cry her way back."
Although Gu Dong felt very uncomfortable, he was listening carefully to Yu Lixin's words.
Brother Li Xin is his neighbor and also his best friend. If someone says something bad about his mother, he would have turned against them long ago.
Brother Li Xin is right. Even though they are so against teasing their stepmother, her stepmother has never been mean to them.
On the contrary, because they wanted to drive their stepmother away, they listened to their grandmother and said in front of everyone that their stepmother abused them, causing her to be scolded by many people.
When he recalled it now, his stepmother was filled with sadness and disbelief when she heard them say that. Her face turned pale and bloodless, and she felt deeply guilty.
Some time ago, he heard Nannan say that when his grandmother held Beibei in her arms, Beibei cried out of fear.
He was also wondering if the bruises on Beibei's body that day were caused by his stepmother.
Thinking of this, he remembered what his stepmother had said before.
"Gu Dong, you can hate me, but you can't throw away your honesty and become a child with bad morals just because you hate me and reject me as your stepmother."
Thinking about this sentence in his mind, he seemed to know where he was wrong.
At night, Gu Dong was lying in bed and heard his little pig brother Gu Xixi snoring in his sleep, and he called Gu Nan in a low voice.
"Nannan, are you asleep?"
Gu Nan opened his eyes and said, "I haven't fallen asleep yet. I can't sleep when I think about having to run around with my dad under my arm tomorrow."
Every time he was carried around by his father, he had no appetite for food.
These past two days, my dad bought breakfast in the cafeteria. It wasn't very delicious, but it was nothing special.
But tomorrow morning's breakfast is made by his stepmother, so he can't lose his appetite.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Gu Nan wrinkled his nose in a headache, "Well, I don't know."
"I think I know."
"Really?" Gu Nan turned over and raised his upper body, "Tell me quickly..."
Maybe they were used to getting up early, so they woke up before Gu Huai came to wake them up.
The two woke up, turned on the lights, put on their clothes and left the room.
Gu Huai was washing up in the yard. Seeing the two brothers, he smiled and said, "Oh, you got up pretty early today."
Gu Nan ran towards his father first, "Dad, we know where we went wrong. We need to apologize to Mom."
"Do you really know?" Gu Huai was a little skeptical.
"Yeah." Gu Dong nodded. "We shouldn't hurt people who are good to us. We can't lie and accuse our mother of being mean to us just because we don't want a stepmother. We can't lose our honesty and become a bad child without morals."
"Mom has never done anything wrong. We are the ones who are wrong." When he said the last word, Gu Dong choked, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and cried.
Gu Nan looked at his brother in surprise. He didn't expect his brother to cry. But as he watched, his mouth pursed and he started crying too.
Gu Huai knew that they really realized their mistakes this time, so they shed tears of guilt and regret.
He walked over, touched his two sons' heads, and said, "Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. When your mother wakes up, apologize to her sincerely."
"Yeah..." The two brothers nodded and wiped their tears.
"Okay, stop crying. Now that you're awake, wash your face, brush your teeth, and go jogging with Daddy."
Still running?
The two brothers suddenly raised their heads, tears still hanging on their eyelashes.
Doesn't it mean that once they truly realize their mistakes, the punishment will end?
"Exercise has only benefits for you, no harm. Didn't you say you wanted to be a soldier in the future? Go wash your face and brush your teeth." Gu Huai pushed his two sons to wash their faces and brush their teeth.
But this time, when Gu Dong and Gu Nan couldn't run anymore, Gu Huai didn't run with them, but let them go home first.
When I got home, I saw the kitchen light was on.
The two brothers looked at each other, pursed their lips and nodded at the same time, as if they had made some kind of decision, and walked towards the kitchen.
Yu Hui was kneading dough, planning to make a pot of buns with egg and leek filling in the morning.
Seeing the two brothers walk into the kitchen with sweat on their foreheads, she casually asked, "Going for a run again? Where's your dad?"
Gu Dong swallowed dryly, "Dad, still running."
Yu Hui put down the dough, patted the flour off her hands, washed her hands in the basin, and said to Gu Dong, "Bring the washbasin in. I'll get some hot water. You guys wipe off the sweat on your bodies and change your clothes, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
The natural and ordinary concern made Gu Dong's guilt reach its peak.
This is caring for them and being good to them, but they used to think that such care was nothing.
"I'm not sorry, Mom."
Yu Hui walked to the stove and suddenly looked back. She wondered what he was saying.
"I'm sorry, Mom." The two brothers said in unison and bowed at the same time.
Gu Dong: "We were wrong. You were really good to us, but we hurt you and accused you of being mean to us, abusing us, breaking your heart, and causing you to be scolded."
"Yes, we were wrong. I'm sorry, Mom." Gu Nan followed with a sincere attitude.
Yu Hui turned around and looked at the two of them. She could tell that they had truly realized their mistake.
"I have received your apology. I hope you can be a good, honest and kind child in the future."
She received the apology, but it did not mean forgiveness, and she had no right to forgive anyone on behalf of "Yu Hui" who had left this world because of being wronged by them.
