Just when everyone was disgusted with Gu Changzheng and Zhang Guifen's behavior and were whispering about it.

Zhang Guifen suddenly yelled at Gu Yaozu, who was standing beside her: "If this money belongs to your grandfather, then where did all the money in our family go? Gu Yaozu, did you steal it?"

Gu Yaozu said, "Mom, how dare I take so much money from you? Did you forget where you put it and can't find it?"

"I forgot where I put it. How is that possible? It's such a large sum of money!" Zhang Guifen said, and then turned to Gu Changzheng,

"Changzheng, since Dad's money is not ours, let's take it out and return it to Dad. We'll look for it carefully later to see if we forgot where we put the money. Otherwise, it's impossible that our more than a thousand yuan disappeared like this for no reason."

"Yes, yes, I'll go get the money right away." Gu Changzheng said.

The meaning of Zhang Guifen's words was very clear. She was telling everyone that they had not wronged Grandpa Gu, but the family just happened to be short of more than a thousand yuan, so they mistakenly thought that Grandpa Gu's money was theirs.

And he paid the money back promptly and efficiently, which didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to take that little bit of money.

But I don’t know how many people believe her words. Anyway, Li Xia doesn’t believe it.

At the same time, it can be seen that Zhang Guifen is indeed a pretentious person. Knowing that the money must be paid back, she performed such a wrong play to clear her and Gu Changzheng's reputation.

No wonder Gu Weicheng was no match for her back then.

But now is no longer the same as before. Li Xia will definitely find out what happened back then and expose Zhang Guifen's true face for everyone to see clearly.

But right now, the most important thing is to get the money and take grandpa to the hospital.

Li Xia calculated in his mind and said sarcastically, "More than a thousand yuan, even a worker in the city would have to save it for several years. How could you have forgotten where you put it? And you still say you don't have money to take grandpa to the hospital for treatment? It's ridiculous."

If they want to clear their reputation of wrongly accusing Grandpa Gu, they have to bear the reputation of being unfilial!

Don’t think you can just say a few meaningless words and let it go!

No matter which of these two reasons is true, Gu Changzheng and Zhang Guifen will never have a good reputation in the village.

The onlookers in the village also whispered, "Zhang Guifen and Gu Changzheng have saved so much money without saying anything, but they still cry poor every day and are unwilling to send Mr. Gu to the hospital for treatment. They are really evil-minded."

"Zhang Guifen always likes to talk about how good she is to Old Man Gu, to show how good she is as a daughter-in-law, and even compares herself with the deceased Chen Wan. Speaking of Chen Wan, she was really good to Old Man Gu, but it's a pity that good people don't live long."

"Didn't you see that the clothes Zhang Guifen was wearing were all new? Gu Changzheng was supposed to earn only a few work points, and I don't know where she got the money and cloth coupons. Could it be that what Weicheng's wife said was right? She..."

The man didn't dare to continue talking here, but everyone knew what he meant.

Before Li Xia started talking about Zhang Guifen's problems, Zhang Guifen was also very good at making tea and was very good at promoting her good reputation in front of outsiders.

Now after Li Xia's words, everyone began to have some doubts.

Of course, there were also people who were on good terms with Zhang Guifen and didn't believe this. They spoke up for Zhang Guifen, saying, "You can't say that. Doesn't Guifen have a relative working in the sugar factory? Her relative gets cloth coupons every month. She told me that she always exchanges them with her relatives."

Relatives of the sugar factory?

Li Xia was close to these people and took all the words to heart.

She felt that this relative at the sugar factory might be a clue.

After a while, Gu Changzheng took out a stack of big unity notes and handed it to Li Xia, somewhat reluctantly.

Li Xia took the money and counted it. After checking the number, she walked straight to Gu Weicheng.

She stuffed the stack of money into Grandpa Gu's pocket and called out to him, "Grandpa, I'm Li Xia, your granddaughter-in-law. An An is at Uncle's house. We'll take you to the hospital first, and then I'll bring An An to the hospital to see you."

Grandpa Gu’s eyesight wasn’t very good. Before, Li Xia was standing far away, so he couldn’t see clearly what Li Xia looked like. Now that he was closer, he could see clearly.

He has a very handsome appearance and is a perfect match for the Acropolis.

Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded and said, "Good boy."

He heard everything Li Xia said just now. His eyes were moistened and at the same time he was extremely happy because he understood that his grandson Weicheng had found a good woman who would protect him.

If he passes away one day in the future, he will be able to rest assured.

"Wife, are you okay?" Gu Weicheng had just been giving Grandpa Gu a bath in the house, but he was still listening to the noise outside. He was worried about his grandfather and was also afraid that Li Xia would suffer.

Li Xia shook her head and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How can I suffer a loss?"

After saying this, Li Xia said to everyone, "Captain, fellow villagers, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself today. We still have to take Grandpa to the hospital. I'll leave now and won't say any more to you."

These people had a very good impression of Li Xia and gave her a thumbs up in their hearts.

Gu Weicheng is so lucky to have married such an eloquent wife.

After leaving Gu Changzheng's house, they took a tractor to the county hospital. When they left, they took two quilts, one for Grandpa Gu and one for Li Xia. The weather was too cold, so they had to wrap themselves up.

When they arrived at the gate of the county hospital, the tractor stopped. Gu Weicheng carried Grandpa Gu on his back and went into the hospital to see a doctor.

The nurse at the hospital saw that he was wearing a military uniform with two stripes on his shoulders, and that he was an officer, so she immediately took them to the director's office.

After the director looked at Grandpa Gu's condition, he shook his head and said not very optimistically:

"Comrade soldier, your grandfather's condition is a bit serious. The medical level of our hospital is not good enough to treat him. I suggest you send him to a hospital in the city, or find a good Chinese medicine doctor. This kind of hemiplegia is best treated by a Chinese medicine doctor."

When Grandpa Gu heard what the doctor said, he took Gu Weicheng's hand and said, "Weicheng, the city is too far away... The New Year is coming soon, let's talk about it after the New Year..."

He had his own concerns. He was too old to travel long distances. It took ten hours to take a bus from their county to the city. He was afraid that if he couldn't hold on and died on the road, the younger generations would be implicated and wouldn't be able to spend a peaceful year.

Li Xia thought of one person, that was Lu Jingshan.

Lu Jingshan is a master of traditional Chinese medicine. He can cure Jiang Xiaoshan’s disease, which is so difficult to cure. Maybe he can also cure Grandpa Gu’s disease?
