Chapter 258 Grandfather Will Not Make Mistakes
"When you're this sick, even if you take a lot of medicine, you'll end up vomiting it out."
The old lady's tone was indifferent, as if she was dismissive of Gu Yuexuan's concerns. She suddenly changed the subject and asked casually, "By the way, where did Tu Subo go? Why haven't I seen him for several days?"
Gu Yuexuan's eyes were confused, and she stammered, "I really don't know. He... maybe he went to seek medical treatment for grandpa from a doctor somewhere else?"
"snort."
The old lady glanced at her disapprovingly and said in a cold tone, "At this critical moment, instead of fulfilling your filial duty by Grandfather's bedside, you're wandering off under the pretext of looking for a doctor. This is the kind of good grandson that Grandfather has personally nurtured!"
Gu Yuexuan seemed a little dissatisfied, but the old lady did not intend to argue with her.
The old lady didn't even want to step over the threshold. She walked directly to the three daughters-in-law of the Tu Su family and ordered: "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Since the grandfather's condition worsened, the old lady's status seemed to rise and gradually become prominent.
If the grandfather unfortunately passes away, the Tu Su family's right to speak will fall entirely into the hands of this ancestor.
The ancestor first displayed his majesty to the fullest, and Xi Lanfang and others naturally did not dare to disobey.
However, after hearing the old lady's instructions, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but raise an objection: "This is really a bit excessive. The doctor has already said that Grandfather's illness is only temporary and he will gradually recover with careful nursing. Isn't it like rubbing salt into the wound and increasing the irritation to prepare the Ximu with such fanfare now?"
In many families, in order to prevent accidents, the elderly will prepare Ximu at home when they are in good health. This has almost become an established tradition.
In the current situation of the Tu Su family, the situation seems particularly different.
My elderly grandfather is bedridden and his condition is worrying. If I buy the so-called happy wood at this time, wouldn’t that speed up the wait for my grandfather to pass away?
Xi Lanfang also objected to this, but the old lady slammed the table and sneered coldly: "I actually didn't know when the Tu Su family had fallen to the point where you young people were in charge?!"
"Madam, that's not our original intention. I just..."
"What do you mean? How can your words influence my decision?"
The old lady was furious and spoke fiercely: "Preparing the wedding wood now is firstly to be on the safe side, and secondly to bring good luck to grandfather. What's wrong with that?"
"Now that I've given the order, you'll just follow it. If Grandfather is dissatisfied with anything, I'll explain it to him!"
Xi Lanfang's lips trembled for a long time, but she couldn't utter a word. The old lady's face turned pale as she continued to order, "Also, bring all the account books, money, and land deeds in the house to me for review."
"Grandfather's indulgence has made you so careless these days that you can't even distinguish between the important and the unimportant matters in the family. Now you've committed the crime of disobedience. If you continue like this, this family will be completely ruined by you!"
If my grandfather were healthy, the account books and land deeds that the old lady requested could naturally be kept.
But now, my grandfather is bedridden.
As their legitimate mother-in-law, the old lady now even brought up the big hat of disobedience and unfilial piety. Who can bear such a heavy hat?
Yu mustered up the courage to try to stop them, but the old lady waved her hand and threw a tea bowl in front of her: "You bold and arrogant things! Can't I even control you now?!"
"Bring these valuables here immediately. I need to prepare for my grandfather's funeral. All of this will be needed. Go quickly!"
After a year, the power of housekeeping finally returned to the old lady. She examined the balance on the account, but still felt dissatisfied.
Over the past year or so, she had never been satisfied with any decision her grandfather had made.
However, holding the property deeds tightly in her hands, the old lady clenched her teeth with an elusive expression.
Even if you feel unhappy, those unpleasant pasts have eventually become history.
When the drums and music are played at home and you are seeing them off, all your worries will naturally be untied.
As the grandfather's condition worsened and he made more frequent noises at night, it became increasingly difficult to take care of him. The old lady gradually lost her initial patience and moved to Tu Su Yanting's room to find a quiet place, saying that she was too old and could not bear the trouble.
Tu Suting had been waiting by the side for several nights in a row, but his own hands were so swollen that he could not take care of himself.
Gu Yuexuan suggested, "Uncle San, you should go and rest tonight. I will keep watch."
Tu Suting was worried: "You are a young girl, I am afraid..."
"If there's anything on Grandfather's side that I can't handle, I'll ask you for help immediately. Uncle San can rest assured."
Tu Suting pondered for a long time, finally rubbed his bloodshot eyes and nodded.
"Okay, then you must remember to call me, and you can also make a bed on the floor next to me and rest for a while. Don't always stay up late."
After Gu Yuexuan responded seriously, she persuaded Xi Lanfang and others to go back and rest one by one. She moved a small stool and sat beside the bed, holding her grandfather's wrist tightly, not daring to relax at all.
This was not something she did for show; her concern for her grandfather came from the heart.
At first, the old grandfather may have been dissatisfied with her, but as time went on, his heart gradually warmed, and his love for her was no different from that for Tu Subo.
The old man devoted great efforts to teaching her, imparting knowledge to her step by step, and always paying close attention to her needs, fearing that she would be wronged at such a young age.
For Gu Yuexuan, she was an orphan in her previous life, and no one cared about her. She had never had an elder who tolerated and loved her so selflessly.
Gu Yuexuan stared at her grandfather with tears in her eyes as he breathed heavily. Her fingers trembled slightly as she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Before she fully recovered her consciousness, a helpless sigh came from behind her.
"Xuanxuan."
She turned her head suddenly and could only make out a hazy figure in the night.
The man's deep voice slowly approached. He knelt on his knees and gently wiped the tears from her eyes with his calloused fingers. He said gently, "Why cry? I'm here. Grandfather will be fine."
Tu Subo gently stroked Gu Yuexuan's hair, resting his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse and firm: "I will never let any of you suffer any misfortune."
"Don't panic, I'm here with you."
The night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, as if no one noticed the heartwarming drama being played out in this small world.
Gu Yuexuan was confused at first, and then tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
"you……"
"Shhh."
Tu Subo gently pressed her lips and whispered, "I brought a friend with me. This friend often comes and goes in Tu Su's house, so it's not appropriate to let others know."
"Remain silent, and together we will move Grandfather to safety."
