"Hurry up and cook. Jinghong loves meat. Have you bought the spareribs and beef I asked you to buy early this morning?"
Grandma Gu came this morning with money in her pocket. She was afraid that Xue Qiaolan and the others would not be willing to give Gu Jinghong a good meal, so she took out her pension and sent them to buy meat and vegetables.
After all, the Gu family is a big family in Beijing, so it is impossible for Gu Jinghong and his family to not have a decent reunion dinner.
So naturally they wouldn't take the old lady's money.
Xue Qiaolan put a scarf around the old lady and said helplessly.
"Mom, the third son is my biological son. He finally came home, how could I treat him badly?"
Gao Hong also said with a smile.
"That's right, Mom. We've been so humble to the Third Brother all these years. It's him who doesn't associate with us. Why do you think we've treated him unfairly? You're too biased."
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Gu's face darkened and she pointed at her and started scolding her.
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, no, and that man of yours, your whole family is not good people. If it weren't for you, how could the third brother become like this with us now?"
Gao Hong is already in her fifties. She felt a little embarrassed when the old lady pointed at her nose and scolded her, and her eyes turned red instantly.
"Mom, how can you say that to me? The third child's quarrel had nothing to do with us. I know very well what our family's situation was like in the Gu family during those years. How could I possibly influence your decision? It's just..."
She glanced at Xue Qiaolan, but didn't continue.
But the meaning is very obvious. If they were not Gu Jinghong's biological parents, would these uncles and aunts have decided to give up Gu Jinghong?
Xue Qiaolan didn't say anything, but her face was pale. She bit her lips tightly and couldn't say a word.
Gu Xueqing ran out of the house.
"Mom, Auntie, come and see if the buns are ready. I smell burnt."
Xue Qiaolan and Gao Hong's faces changed, and they turned around and ran into the house.
"Oops, the vegetables are still in the pot. I didn't add enough water."
Old Mrs. Gu glanced at them, snorted, and continued to stand at the door waiting.
Gu Xueqing walked to her side, held her arm, and asked in a low voice.
"Grandma, will my third brother really come today? He hasn't wanted to come home for a long time. I just heard my two cousins say they wanted to join the army and look for my third brother, but he refused to see them."
The expression on Mrs. Gu's face became complicated and melancholy. She sighed and held Gu Xueqing's hand.
"It was the elders in their family who were the first to behave themselves. Your third brother is aloof to begin with, so it's not surprising that he wouldn't help them. He shouldn't have humiliated himself in the first place."
Gu Xueqing looked at Old Madam Gu, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"But grandma, aren't we a family? Third brother used to be very good to us, but since he got injured, he doesn't like us anymore."
In fact, Gu Xueqing is already a grown-up girl, and it is impossible for her to be completely unaware of some things at home. It’s just that she doesn’t understand the family interests very well. She only knows that Gu Jinghong has a conflict with his family, but she doesn’t know why such a conflict occurred.
Old Mrs. Gu clapped her hands and looked outside the door, her weathered eyes dimming slightly.
Yes, the third brother used to love his family and his grandmother very much, but these people were ultimately unfair to him.
