Chapter 82: Driving into a ditch
However, who could have expected that the Gu family would remain vague and give no clear answer, and she never got to meet Gu Yuexuan. Until the day of the wedding, when Gu Yuexuan was secretly sent into the bridal sedan, the Tusu family encountered misfortune...
She was in a heavy mood and said in a low voice, "Are you still having a quarrel with Xuanxuan?"
"Bo'er, my family has tried every possible way to obstruct this marriage. You knelt outside my grandfather's study in the rain for two days and two nights, finally praying for this happy marriage. You must not..."
"I see."
Tu Subo smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness, and replied: "Mother, how could I not understand?"
How could I bear to argue with her?
He confirmed that the handkerchief had completely turned to ashes, clapped his hands lightly, stood up, took the big bowl handed to him by Xi Lanfang, and walked towards his grandfather.
"Grandfather, I have a few words to discuss with you regarding the fields over on Qiushan Mountain."
Gu Yuexuan was helping to set the tableware. When she heard the voice and looked up, she saw the silhouette of Tu Subo and his grandfather having a serious discussion. His expression was focused and sincere.
Tu Subo always seems to be like this.
Knowing that as a new junior, Gu Yuexuan was not comfortable speaking directly in certain situations, every suggestion she made would be multifaceted in his words. Whenever they encountered difficult problems, he was always the first to step forward and bravely take on the role of pioneer.
In the current situation of the Tu Su family, his voice is undoubtedly more important than hers.
This state seems quite harmonious.
Gu Yuexuan suppressed the teasing flicker in her eyes, walked over lightly with the bowl of rice in her hand, and set it aside. As soon as she sat down, she heard the old grandfather ask doubtfully, "Poisonous wheat? Is that true?"
"No error."
Tu Subo gently placed a piece of tender radish in her bowl and said calmly, "You shouldn't trust curse words. The problem must be with the crops you grow."
Upon hearing this, the old grandfather immediately guessed that the secret was discovered by Gu Yuexuan, so he smiled meaningfully and said, "When did you acquire the ability to identify poisonous weeds?"
Tu Subo replied calmly, "Of course I don't know her, but Xuanxuan has sharp eyes and her judgment will never be wrong."
"Do you trust your daughter-in-law so much?"
"Why should I doubt it?"
Tu Subo said firmly, "Xuan Xuan is the best among us at this. If we can't even trust her judgment, who else can we trust?"
The old grandfather smacked his lips softly and said in a quiet voice, "Since you trust me wholeheartedly, you should reduce your drunken indulgences and refrain from arguing with your family in the house."
He caught a glimpse of the embarrassment that flashed across Tu Subo's face and said earnestly, "Regarding the land issue, after dinner, I'll go to the village chief's house with your third uncle to discuss it. Be sure to stop drinking in the future to avoid making a fool of yourself in front of your wife."
"The Tusu family's rules are to respect the weak and not bully the younger generation, especially when it comes to family members. If there are mistakes, the elders will definitely guide them carefully. There is no reason for relatives to vent their anger on their own family members."
Tu Subo knew in his heart that these words were probably not directed at him, but he still remained humble, lowered his head, and nodded sincerely.
"Grandfather's wise words are always remembered by his grandson."
"Just remember that. Everyone, stop sitting around and start eating."
The old grandfather's teachings made the atmosphere at the dinner table unusually quiet. Tu Suye slammed the door and went into the west room with a gloomy face before the meal was over.
Yu wanted to say something but stopped herself, her lips moving slightly. At this time, Tu Su Minfei put a bowl of steaming soup next to her hand.
"Mother, you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently. You might as well eat more."
She tried hard to suppress her tears. When she lowered her head, her sleeves slipped down gently, revealing the shocking bruises on her wrists.
Those were scars caused by being pinched hard.
Gu Yuexuan witnessed this scene and silently pursed her lips. When she saw Tu Su Minyang entering the room holding her beloved little quilt, she slowly exhaled.
"Are you worried about Second Aunt?"
Tu Subo handed her a bowl of medicine at a suitable temperature and said softly, "Don't worry, Tu Su Minfei is here."
Although Yu had a sharp temper and liked to take advantage of small things, she was extremely clear about the difference between right and wrong when it came to major issues. Once she made up her mind to go all out, she was no less capable.
This kind of personality may make it difficult for people to get close to them when they first meet them, but as time goes by, it is not easy for people to develop strong aversion to them.
He was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Tu Su Minfei.
But Tu Su Minfei was raised by Yu, and he could not sit idly by and watch his biological mother continue to suffer injustice.
Gu Yuexuan held the bowl of dark-colored medicinal juice and said vaguely, "Second Uncle is going to sell charcoal tomorrow. I am willing to take on the responsibility of carrying firewood for Second Aunt so that she can do some lighter work at home."
The scars on the wrists are already so horrific, and I wonder how much deeper the damage will be in those places that are difficult to see with the naked eye. Any relief would be great.
Tu Subo looked at her thin figure, neither agreeing nor refusing clearly.
"Take the medicine and go to bed. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."
As Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan left the house one after another, Xi Lanfang spoke urgently, her tone revealing anxiety: "Someone from the village just came in a hurry to report that your second uncle's car accidentally overturned into a ditch. The situation is urgent. You should quickly go with your third uncle to investigate."
It is not surprising that on the slippery road after the snow, a moment of carelessness may lead to an accident.
However, when Gu Yuexuan looked up at the gloomy and dark color in the sky, she felt an inexplicable worry in her heart.
"Tu Subo, please wait a moment."
She hurried back into the house, dug out a treasured cloak from the bottom of the box, and gently draped it over Tu Subo's shoulders. Then, in a whisper that only Tu Subo could hear, she said, "Although the road in the ditch is wide, the water is not deep. Logically, the vehicle shouldn't overturn easily."
"When you arrive, check on Second Uncle's condition first. If anything seems amiss, immediately mobilize the village chief's mule cart."
In recent years, although the old lady has not said much, her family members all know that Tu Suye is her real jewel in the palm.
Going to the county town to sell charcoal is not an easy task. Tu Suting has only experienced it once and is unwilling to endure it a second time. The old lady specifically designated Tu Suye to go alone. This trip is obviously not just a simple charcoal selling task.
A hint of determination flashed in Tu Subo's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Grandfather, the wind and snow outside are getting more severe. You and Grandmother should wait for good news at home. Third Uncle will go there."
"Brother, I'm willing to go with you too." Tu Sumin took a step forward and said with a determined look, "I can provide assistance."
Tu Subo was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. Gu Yuexuan hurried forward to steady Yu, whose body was shaky.
"Second Aunt, please don't be too anxious."
"It's not far from here. Once Tu Subo and the others arrive, they will be able to bring my second uncle back safely."
"Minyang, come and help your mother into the house to avoid the wind."
