Chapter 89: Not Looking Like
This was the first time Mrs. Cai heard these words, and she was stunned.
Although Jinbao was the child of Zhang Guangzong and Xiao Cai, he was raised by her, his grandmother, for a long time.
Her son has been married for many years and has only this one precious son. It can be said that Mrs. Cai treats Jinbao almost as the apple of her eye.
She wished she would give up her life for Jinbao.
When she suddenly learned that her son said such words, she covered her chest and could hardly stand up straight.
But Zhang Guangzong didn't realize that something was wrong with his mother. After he said this, he couldn't get rid of the thought in his mind. The more he looked at Jinbao, the more he felt that he was not like him.
"Mom, who do you think Jinbao looks like?" Zhang Guangzong suddenly asked.
Mrs. Cai's body trembled slightly. She pulled over a chair and sat down with a pale face.
"I... I don't know. It's impossible. How could Jinbao not be my grandson..." Mrs. Cai muttered intermittently.
Zhang Guangzong's eyes were blank, and a large number of faces flashed through his mind. These people were all men who had a close relationship with Xiao Cai in the past.
His eyes suddenly fell on a plate of peanuts not far away.
"Do you remember who gave you these peanuts?" Zhang Guangzong asked.
Mrs. Cai's lips trembled slightly: "I... I remember... it seemed that Yongzi sent it. He said it was for Jinbao to eat."
Yongzi was not someone else but the eldest son of Mrs. Cai's sister. He was one year older than Zhang Guangzong. Li Dayong was a cousin of both Zhang Guangzong and Mrs. Cai.
Zhang Guangzong's voice was as ethereal as a puff of smoke: "Mom, do you think Jinbao and Yongzi look alike?"
Mrs. Cai suddenly shuddered.
Jinbao was still rolling around on the ground in the yard, shouting and yelling for meat.
The mother and son in the room looked through the window at the hideous face of the child. The more they looked, the more they felt that the child looked like Li Dayong.
"Their eyes are almost identical, both have double eyelids..."
"Look at that straight nose. I have a flat nose, so how come I gave birth to a son with a high nose?"
"Every household has a hard time, but he still managed to squeeze out some snacks to send over. Peanuts are good things, wouldn't it be better to keep them for oil extraction at home? When he sent the peanuts, he specifically mentioned that they were for Jinbao..."
A hint of pain flashed in Zhang Guangzong's eyes.
Mrs. Cai is feeling even worse than her son.
But in fact, no matter who sends food to others, most people will say polite words like "give it to the child to satisfy his hunger".
As for the similarities between Jinbao and Li Dayong, in fact, if you look closely, Li Dayong, Jinbao, and even Xiao Cai are very similar.
It is said that nephews look like their uncles. Zhang Guangzong does not look like his uncle, but Li Dayong is almost exactly like his uncle. Their uncle happens to be Xiao Cai's biological father.
Due to the complicated blood relationships in this family, it is actually difficult to determine whether Jinbao is Zhang Guangzong's biological child.
But once a seed is planted in your heart, some things cannot be controlled.
Zhang Guangzong listened to the noisy noise in the yard, stood up, rushed over and kicked Jinbao.
Jinbao was rolling on the ground pretending to cry, but he was really beaten. He was so scared that he was stunned. In pain, he recalled the beating his father gave him a few months ago.
This was the second time he was beaten today.
He shrank back and burst into earth-shaking cries: "Milk! Milk!"
However, Mrs. Cai, who was summoned by him frantically and almost always came, made no sound this time, which was unusual.
Mrs. Cai huddled in the room, her face already covered in tears.
"You little bastard, you still dare to eat meat? Just think about it!" Zhang Guangzong scolded.
Young Jinbao was lying on the ground, looking up, feeling as if he was facing a huge mountain. The only thing he could do was to keep shouting, "Grandma, save me! Dad is going to beat me to death!"
The more he shouted, the harder Mrs. Cai cried. After all, she had raised her for four years, so it was impossible for her to just let her go. But no matter how much she hated it, Mrs. Cai did not stand up to stop her.
I don’t know how long the beating lasted, but the sound in the yard finally stopped. Perhaps feeling tired, Zhang Guangzong picked up the child from the ground and threw him into the woodshed.
"You little bastard, from now on you just stay in the woodshed!" Zhang Guangzong cursed viciously.
Jinbao curled up in a ball in the corner of the woodshed. He had always been carefully cared for by everyone in the family, but now he realized that the woodshed was so cold.
Is this really where people live? Will I die if I keep living here?
Niuniu's face suddenly appeared in Jinbao's mind.
There is also Niu Niu's bedding, piled up in the corner, dirty. Because no one has cleaned it for a long time and the woodshed is leaking, it emits an astonishingly sour smell.
Jinbao felt pain even when he moved and fell asleep in a daze.
"Second uncle is back, second uncle is back!"
The child's voice was full of excitement.
The carriage that Gu Mingda was riding in entered the Gu family's yard, carrying with it a load of New Year gifts that filled half of the carriage.
All the children of the Gu family surrounded Gu Mingda and said, "Second Uncle, is it fun in the county?"
"Uncle, you've been gone for so long, we've been missing you at home!"
The children were chirping and surrounding Gu Mingda like a group of hungry little sparrows.
Gu Mingda was not unfamiliar with this situation at all. He smiled. Just as he was about to share the things, he saw Old Lady Gu come out and said, "Second brother, leave the things with me first. I have something to tell you."
When Gu Mingda heard this, he was surprised. After all, I am not the kind of old lady who likes to occupy things. But in front of so many people, he still did it.
After Zhang Yuniang and others helped move the things into the house, Old Lady Gu drove out all the adults and children in the other rooms.
"Mom, what do you want to say? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Mingda asked with concern. He was afraid that something was wrong with his mother's health again.
Mrs. Gu was very pleased with her son's filial piety. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay. What can happen to me?"
Facing her son's puzzled gaze, Old Lady Gu continued, "I just feel sorry for you. You have contributed so much to this family. The first and third wives have benefited so much from you, yet you are all so greedy!"
When Gu Mingda heard this, he realized that something must have happened during the few days he was away from home. He turned to look at Zhang Yuniang.
Zhang Yunniang sighed and said, "It's my third brother's wife who has to make up for the trouble caused by her mother's family..."
After hearing the whole story, Gu Mingda was not surprised at all.
"Mom, I didn't post these things for my third brother's wife. I posted them for my third brother and the children. Why do you have to take her words seriously?" Gu Mingda comforted his mother.
But the more he understood the greater good, the more Old Lady Gu couldn't help but speak up for him. She said, "Listen to what that bastard said! He gave the things away, and in the end he instigated Xiaobao, saying that you, as the uncle, were negligent in your duties!"
Gu Mingda still insisted, "Mother, it's okay as long as my third brother doesn't think that way."
Old Lady Gu glared at him and said, "Two people can sleep in the same bed. No matter how good your relationship is, if this woman keeps nagging you day and night, your relationship will eventually be ruined!"
Gu Mingda was most afraid of his mother getting angry, so he quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, mom, you are right. I will just cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
