When Gu Huadong and Yan Yan rushed back home, it was still dark.
Everyone was having dinner in the living room.
Upon seeing the two elderly people return, Gu Sishi immediately jumped to Gu Huadong and Yan Yan's side.
"Grandpa and Grandma, why are you back?"
Gu Huadong made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "I'm living comfortably at the garrison, and I have my great-grandchildren with me. If it weren't for the family emergency, would we two old folks have rushed back so quickly?"
Gu Sishi was completely confused. What nonsense were her grandparents talking about? She couldn't understand a word they were saying and stared blankly at the two elderly people.
"Grandpa and Grandma, if you like staying at my brother and sister-in-law's place, you can stay for a while longer. There's nothing much going on at home."
Gu Huadong snorted coldly, lifted his foot and walked to the seat of honor, where he sat and glared angrily at the two people in the living room.
Gu Sishi was completely bewildered. What on earth had happened? Could someone tell her the truth instead of just staring blankly at each other like an adult?
Find an inconspicuous spot to sit down and see what's going on.
Before Grandpa and Grandma left, they knew their little niece had been found, and they said they would stay with my brother and sister-in-law for a while. But it's only been a few days, and they're rushing back now. Something must have happened.
This led to the return of the grandparents.
She wanted to see what had happened at home; how come she didn't know?
I've been very busy with schoolwork lately and haven't had time to take care of things at home.
Her parents' lives were harmonious, and nothing had gone wrong, so why did her grandparents look at her with such accusatory expressions?
Did something happen that she doesn't know about?
When Gu Yuanhong saw his parents return in a huff, he knew it must be because his wife wanted to adopt Qiao Xiyan's son.
That child was actually quite pitiful. It's understandable that the Qiao family didn't want to raise a child with an unknown father; you can't say they were immoral.
That child is a disgrace. The Qiao family knows perfectly well how the child came to be, and they cannot allow such a child to return to the Qiao family and become a tool for others to attack them.
Qiao Xiyan's story has become a negative example in the compound. Now, many people are talking badly about the Qiao family and laughing at them behind their backs.
He couldn't offer too much advice on this matter.
After all, the child is so young and innocent; adults' problems should not be borne by the child.
Moreover, it's not good to keep a toddler who's only a few years old in prison indefinitely.
I felt my wife was right, so I made the call today.
That child had visited the Gu family before. He had seen the child; she was fair-skinned, cute, and quite well-behaved.
Actually, he had no reason to object if his wife liked it, but when he thought about what Qiao Xiyan had done for the Gu family, there was a thorn in his heart.
He was still considering whether or not to adopt the child when his parents reacted so strongly that they rushed back that very day.
I wanted to tell Si Shi about this earlier, but now I don't have the chance.
"Mom and Dad don't need to go through all this trouble for such a small matter. This is our business, and you have no right to interfere."
"Besides, Si Nian and Su Ying live in the area year-round, and it would be quite lonely without children at home, so it's understandable that Ya Xian has this idea."
"Yes, old man, it's really hard to get through a house without electricity. It's good to have a child. You haven't met him yet. If you did, you would definitely like him very much."
Gu Huadong wasn't going to tolerate their bad habits and glared at them angrily.
Just as he expected, his son was henpecked; whatever his wife said went, and he had no sense of being a male head at all, which made him infuriating.
One was willing to give and the other was willing to receive, so he had nothing to say.
Just thinking about those two bastards bringing that child back makes me furious.
He's just a family member with no descendants, isn't he? He's so fond of raising other people's children. Has the water in his brain still not dried up?
It has a lot of problems.
He won't indulge you.
"Get the hell out of my house, all of you! You're not welcome here."
"Since you're so well-off and have money to raise other people's children, then go ahead and do it. We'll split up the family, and you three will move out. I don't care about you anymore."
When Yan Yan heard that her husband had even kicked their well-behaved granddaughter out, she tugged at his wrist.
"Are you crazy? Si Shi is so well-behaved and adorable, how can you bear to kick her out?"
Gu Huadong said in a low voice, "Our old couple usually manage Si Shi's expenses. They save their own salaries, and when they have extra money, they think about supporting other people's children."
"When we move out of the Gu family's house, we'll have to pay for rent, food, and everything else. We also have a daughter to raise. Our combined salaries might not be enough, let alone enough to support someone else's child."
Yan Yan nodded, confirming that it was indeed the case. In the years since Si Shi came back, the elderly couple had been taking care of her, and all her needs, from food and drink to personal care, had been covered by their money.
Even the food expenses at home are covered by the elderly couple's retirement pensions.
Now look what's happened, he's gotten himself into trouble for trying to help someone.
They don't even care about their own children, yet they have the leisure to care about other people's children.
After the family separated and moved out, they had to pay for rent, utilities, food, and other necessities every month. The couple's combined salaries couldn't support Si Shi.
They've gotten used to enjoying life...
"Your father and I discussed it on the way back; we're splitting up the family property!"
Gu Yuanhong and Li Yaxian were stunned, never expecting Gu Huadong and Yan Yan to say such a thing.
Gu Yuanhong didn't believe it.
He was his parents' only child, and now that they've separated... who else could he possibly have around him?
"Mom and Dad, you're crazy. Separating the family property is no small matter, and I don't agree to it."
"Everyone knows that you only have me as your son now. After I separate from the family and move out, who will take care of you two old folks?"
Gu Huadong snorted coldly. He had grandsons, granddaughters-in-law, great-grandsons, and great-granddaughters. Who cared about these two idiots?
Since the son can't be saved, let them both get out of here. It's annoying to watch.
Loving your wife is not wrong, but loving your wife to the point of being unable to distinguish right from wrong is just a sign of a problem with your brain.
“We don’t need you to worry about our retirement. I get a terrible headache just looking at you. I want to live a couple more years, and I don’t want to be a burden to you anymore.”
Gu Yuanhong was completely bewildered and couldn't understand what Gu Huadong was saying.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we living a good life now?"
"Good my ass. If we don't separate from you two idiots, my wife and I will be sent to some remote place with nowhere to be reformed."
Gu Yuanhong frowned. Why was his father going too far? "Why did he bring up the renovation issue again out of nowhere?"
"The organization has already cleared the Gu family's name, so why are they being dragged into this reformation issue?"
"You should ask your good wife about this matter and see what she did. I now seriously suspect that your wife has a serious mental illness."
"You must be out of your mind to think of adopting a troubled child and registering him under our Gu family's household registration."
“Let me tell you, this house in the compound was allocated to me by the organization and is under my name. Since you’re all so capable, the three of you should move out tonight.”
"Someone will be coming over later to handle the division of the family property. I don't want you three anymore. Get as far away as you can."
