Chapter 126 He probably won’t be able to pay it back in his lifetime
"Dad, you and mom pack up, I will go with you, so mom can feel more at ease." Gu Xiaoxi heard that his grandfather was ill and felt that he should go.
"Dad knows that you must have had a hard time out there these days. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxi." Gu He felt sorry for his daughter, but he couldn't ignore his father-in-law.
He probably won't be able to repay his father-in-law's great kindness to them in this lifetime.
"Dad, wait a minute, I'll change the medicine for my third brother. We'll pack up and leave." Gu Xiaoxi said.
Gu He nodded and went back to tell his wife the news.
When Chai heard that her father was seriously ill, she wiped her tears in the house.
Hearing the noise, she wiped her tears and continued to pack.
"Are you done packing? Xiaoxi will go back with us to see dad later. Don't worry too much. Xiaoxi's medical skills are so good that she will be fine." Gu He gently comforted his wife. He knew that his wife felt a lot of guilt towards her parents' home.
Um!
Chai nodded, packed the bag and put it aside.
After Gu Xiaoxi cleaned up her third brother's wound, she quickly returned to the room, gave instructions to her two daughters, and then found Afeng and told him that she was going out.
When Mrs. Xue heard that her grandfather was sick, she was also very worried because she knew that her grandfather had been very good to them before.
"Xiaoxi, don't worry and go with your parents. I will take care of the child." she said.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." After thanking her, Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, there may not be a carriage available at this time. Let's hurry up and get on our way!"
Um!
Chai responded with red eyes.
Seeing them go out so late, Chen Shiliu said worriedly, "It's so late, and without a carriage, how far do we have to walk?"
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Sixteen. It's not very far. It will take more than an hour to walk there. It's still early now. It's okay." Gu He said after expressing his gratitude.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Xiaoxi, I'm going with you." Gu An felt that the world was not a good place now and it was not safe to go out in the middle of the night.
"No, I can protect my parents." Gu Xiaoxi didn't want her uncle to run back and forth.
Gu An thought about it and shook his head worriedly, saying, "No, wait a minute, I'll borrow an ox cart to take you there."
"I'll go with you. It's nothing to do anyway." Chen Shiliu also volunteered to step forward.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Gu Xiaoxi had no choice but to agree.
Gu An went to the village to borrow an ox cart and drove the cart to Chaijia Village late at night.
When they reached the village entrance, Gu He asked his third brother to stop the ox cart: "Okay, we can just walk in here. It's too late, so as not to disturb others."
"Okay, then, let's go back." After Gu He finished speaking, he walked towards home while talking to Chen Shiliu.
Gu Xiaoxi carried the medicine box, Gu He held Chai's hand, and the three of them entered Chai Village together.
Compared with Xixia Village, Chaijia Village is not that complicated. It is a branch developed from an ancestor hundreds of years ago, and everyone in the village has the surname Chai.
The Chai family has some prestige in Chaijia Village. Old Man Chai is usually kind to others, and his two sons are also easy to get along with.
Now that Mr. Chai is seriously ill, in addition to his wife and daughter-in-law who are taking care of him, several aunts from the neighboring houses have also come to help.
If the old man had not been seriously ill this time, the eldest son of the Chai family would not have sent someone to send a message to his sister at this time if he was worried that the old man could not hold on.
"Is my sister coming? Dad seems to be feeling very uncomfortable." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chai family came out of the house. They all knew that the old man was most concerned about his sister-in-law.
Although my sister-in-law married a good man, his family was too poor and he later raised his daughter astray. He has caused the old man a lot of worry over the years.
Some time ago, my sister-in-law paid back the money she owed to the family and said that Xiaoxi had gotten better. I don’t know if it’s true?
"Sister-in-law, the second son went to the village entrance to pick him up, but he hasn't come back yet!" The second daughter-in-law of the Chai family was also anxious.
But it was so late and there was no carriage available, so I could only walk here, which would naturally take longer.
"Oh... I don't know, old man..." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chai family choked up when she said this.
The second daughter-in-law of the Chai family also wiped away her tears. They were sisters-in-law as well as sisters. When they married into the Chai family, their parents-in-law treated them like their own daughters.
Now that their father-in-law is seriously ill, they are sad from the bottom of their hearts.
"They're back, they're back, Xiaoqing and son-in-law Gu are back." The aunt next to them shouted when she saw Chai and Gu He from afar.
When they heard that their sister-in-law had returned, the two sisters-in-law wiped their tears and went out to greet her.
When Chai saw that her two sisters-in-law had red and swollen eyes, she realized that her father was seriously ill and her legs went weak before she even entered the house.
Gu He helped his wife and looked at his daughter beside him.
"Aunt, second aunt, take me to see grandpa." Gu Xiaoxi knew that the illness might be serious.
The two daughters-in-law of the Chai family looked at each other, and then looked at their sister-in-law and son-in-law Gu in confusion.
"Yes, yes, let Xiaoxi go and take a look. Xiaoxi is very good at medicine and may be able to save Dad." Mrs. Chai remembered her daughter's medical skills and pulled her into the house.
Doctor Luo in the room shook his head, thinking that the patient could not be saved.
When the eldest son of the Chai family and Mrs. Chai saw Doctor Luo shaking his head, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Before she even entered the room, she heard the crying of her mother and elder brother. Chai gathered all her strength, pushed the door open and rushed in.
Gu Xiaoxi followed closely behind and rushed to her grandfather's bedside after entering.
"Xiaoqing, you are finally back. Come and talk to your father!" Mrs. Chai pulled her daughter to the old man.
"Dad, Mom, let everyone go out first. I want to check on grandpa." Gu Xiaoxi took grandpa's pulse and felt that he was not hopeless.
"Xiaoxi, I, I know you mean well, but Doctor Luo has already said... woooo..." Mrs. Chai burst into tears again when she said this.
"Prepare for the funeral!" Doctor Luo said lightly.
They invited Doctor Luo from Baoyuantang in the city. I heard that he was a very good doctor.
"Nonsense, my grandfather is obviously not dead. Get out, everyone get out!" Gu Xiaoxi glared at Doctor Luo angrily.
Doctor Luo responded harshly, "A little girl like you, do you think you can be more powerful than me?"
"You'll know how powerful it is in a moment. Uncle, take grandma out. I want to save grandpa." Gu Xiaoxi said sternly.
"Your grandpa is already like this, stop bothering him here, get out of here!" The second son of the Chai family walked in and saw Gu Xiaoxi making a fuss, and yelled angrily.
When Chai saw her second brother's attitude towards Xiaoxi, she knew that her second brother was angry at Xiaoxi for squandering the family money over the years.
"Second brother, you have to believe Xiaoxi this time!" She hurriedly spoke up for her daughter.
The second son of the Chai family knew that his sister doted on their daughter, but how could he let her act recklessly at this time?
