Chapter 126: Parents’ shallow bond
Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua left, and neither Gu Yan nor Li Wanqing got up to see them off.
Li Wanqing was really speechless about Zhang Dahua.
She couldn't imagine how Gu Yan, a five-year-old child, felt when he watched his mother feeding his brother egg custard.
No wonder Gu Yan has such a deep grudge against them?
If she could go back to that time, Li Wanqing would want to beat Zhang Dahahua to death.
Gu Yan was still in a very low mood, no matter how many times he told himself not to care about them, not to care about them.
But they were his parents after all, and the little Gu Yan must have longed for their love.
Although the desire for parental love fades as I grow older, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
"Okay, if they don't love you, I will love you from now on. And our child, let him love you as his father in the future too." Li Wanqing said to Gu Yan with heartache.
"I'm fine, wife. Are you tired? Go to bed and have a rest. Are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap." Gu Yan came to his senses and quickly got up to take care of his wife.
Gu Yan was indeed in a bad mood. Even if he no longer cared about Zhang Dahua and the others, what happened back then still existed.
If he brings it up now, he is just digging out his scars for everyone to see.
How could he be in a good mood? However, fearing that Li Wanqing would worry, he cheered himself up and took care of his pregnant wife first.
Li Wanqing was indeed tired and sleepy.
She always takes a nap after lunch every day, but today, knowing that Gu Chongshan and the others were coming, she didn't sleep.
After wasting so long, I feel tired and sleepy.
"Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and you should sleep with me too. The baby wants daddy to sleep with him." Li Wanqing was afraid that he would have wild thoughts, so she pulled him and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll sleep with you." Gu Yan also lay down.
Gu Yan was also afraid that Li Wanqing would worry. Besides, there was nothing wrong at home, so it would be okay to take a nap.
“My husband, don’t be sad, we are both born with a shallow relationship with our parents, and your good and bad parents are still around.
My parents sold me when I was a child so that my brother could find a wife.
At first, I couldn't understand why my brother would sell me off just to get married. Am I not my parents' child?
Later I figured it out. All five fingers stretched out are generally even. If you have many children, there will always be one who is not favored.
Although the palms and backs of the hands are made of flesh, there is still a difference between the palms and backs of the hands, right?
How unlucky I am to be the flesh on the back of your hand, but we can be the flesh in each other's palms.
From now on, I will hold you in my hands. You are the most important to me. Even if a child is born, it is not as important as you." Li Wanqing said while lying in Gu Yan's arms.
Gu Yan then remembered that his wife was a maid, and was sold by her biological parents. She was even more miserable than him.
This time, he could no longer care about his own little emotions, and hurried to comfort his wife: "Wife, don't be sad, you are right, we are just parents with a shallow fate, and I will hold you in my palm in the future.
No, I have always held you in my hands.
I will always treat you well from now on, so don't worry about your parents."
"Well, I haven't thought about it for a long time. Since they sold me for silver, that silver is equivalent to my repayment for giving me life.
Even if I run into them again in the future, I won’t recognize them,” Li Wanqing said.
"By the way, wife, I have never asked you where your family is originally from?" Gu Yan asked.
"My home is in Baili Village, Qingshui Town. Maybe I can meet him in the future." Li Wanqing said after recalling carefully.
"Really? In Qingshui Town? That's quite close. Do you want to go back and take a look?" Gu Yan asked in surprise.
"They sold me to a matchmaker in the beginning, and the matchmaker was going to sell us to a brothel.
I was also lucky, as my former master, the county magistrate, had just taken office and needed a maid at home.
Later, I worked my way up from a servant girl to a young lady's maid." Li Wanqing recalled the original owner's memories.
Li Wanqing didn't feel anything, but Gu Yan was heartbroken.
A little girl of about ten years old was sold by her parents to be a maid.
Even though she later became a maidservant beside the young lady, you can imagine that she suffered a lot.
"Wife, you have suffered." Gu Yan held Li Wanqing in his arms.
Li Wanqing was stunned. Was it bitter? Perhaps it was bitter? After all, she wasn't the one who experienced these things, and she didn't know the original owner's state of mind at the time.
"Oh, how miserable! Living in this world is not easy for everyone.
"Okay, I won't say any more. I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep." Li Wanqing yawned sleepily and closed her eyes.
"Okay, let's go to sleep." Gu Yan watched his wife close her eyes, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At the same time, Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua returned home together.
"Mom and Dad, how is it? Did they agree?" Zhang Cuihua asked anxiously when she saw the old couple come back.
Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua had droopy faces and didn't say anything until they entered the house and sat down. Then Zhang Dahua said, "Then go back. The third brother and the others didn't agree. Don't worry about it if it's not yours in the future."
"No? Why wouldn't the Third Brother agree? There are so many medicinal herbs in the mountains that we can't dig them all even if we dig them together.
Why is he so selfish? He has nothing to lose by teaching us.
"Mom, didn't you guys talk to him properly?" Zhang Cuihua originally thought that with the old couple's help, there would be no problem.
No matter what, Gu Yan had to give face to the old couple.
Unexpectedly, the old couple also returned empty-handed.
"Why didn't you just say it nicely? Okay, go back quickly. Your father and I can't help you with this matter." Zhang Dahua said.
"Mom..." Zhang Cuihua didn't want to leave and wanted to pester Zhang Dahahua for a while longer.
"It's no use calling mom, let's go." Zhang Dahua waved her hand impatiently.
Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to take the girl back.
"Old man, what should we do now? Are we really going to just ignore it? Or let's talk to the third brother about it in a few days." Zhang Dahua was silent for a while, still feeling unwilling.
"Let's talk about it later. Even if we do, we have to wait until we have improved our relationship with the Third Brother.
First, prepare the swaddle, diapers, etc. for the third child’s child.
You said you prepared it for the second brother and his friends, but why didn't you prepare it for the third brother and his friends as well?" Gu Chongshan was also thinking about this in his mind.
Since the third son has such a good skill, he certainly hopes that his other sons can learn it too.
Besides, the third brother is not close to them. To be honest, Gu Chongshan actually prefers the eldest brother to be capable.
After all, Gu Yan now completely resents them, and they may not be able to rely on Gu Yan when they get old.
But now it is obvious that Gu Yan doesn't want to teach, and he has no way to force him to teach.
It seems that I can only find a way to ease the relationship with the third brother first.
