Gu Xia gripped the newspaper in her hand so tightly that her nails turned white. Her crystal tears fell on the newspaper, blurring the ink.
"After waiting for so many years, my grandfather finally waited for this day."
She was by the old man's side on the day he passed away.
No one can empathize with that kind of despair and pain.
Liang Su took the opportunity to wink at Chu Jingcong and said, "My mother is crying so sadly, why don't you comfort her?"
Chu Jingcong understood immediately and held her hand to comfort her: "Let's welcome the old man back to his homeland together. Everything is still in time. Grandpa's spirit in heaven will definitely be happy."
Gu Xia lowered her head and shed tears, a mixture of emotions in her heart, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't control herself.
Just asking the old man's remains to be returned to Cheng County would require another dispute with Qiao San, which made him feel disgusted just thinking about it.
Liang Su said softly: "Uncle Chu, thank you for everything you have done for the Qiao family."
Gu Xia looked up at him, feeling grateful but unable to express it.
Chu Jingcong smiled and said, "This is what I should do. No need to thank me."
After saying thank you, we became more distant.
If possible, he would like to do more for Gu Xia and her daughter to make up for the past losses.
At the end of May, Liang Su and his family went to the cemetery to send the old man of the Qiao family back to Cheng County.
The Cheng County government had already notified Qiao San, and it was only at this time that he truly knew that his wife and daughter were still alive.
But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't meet them.
The two sides will not meet until the day when the coffin is removed and the burial is relocated.
What surprised him even more was that Chu Jingcong was there too.
He couldn't help but get furious.
"You've been faking your own death for so many years, living a good life, but you don't care about me, your biological father. You really have a conscience!"
He has almost squandered everything the old man left behind. He has been struggling to make a living in the past two years and has aged more than ten years.
Looking at Gu Xia and Gu Yunsi, they have obviously lived a life of luxury and don’t seem to be short of money now.
Gu Xia didn't bother to look at him, and the disgust on her face was obvious.
Faced with his questioning, I ignored it.
Qiao San was dissatisfied with their attitude and felt that he was not respected.
"If you refuse to communicate with me, then forget about this matter today! Let the old man rest here forever, and never rest in peace in this life!"
Gu Xia smiled coldly, "This is not up to you. I had grandpa's grave built here, and I have the right to decide whether to move the coffin or not. You have no right to say anything."
After so many years, Qiao San became more and more shameless and rushed directly to the old man's grave and started digging.
"Why can't I make the decision on my father's affairs? If I don't agree today, you can't move the coffin and bury it!"
Gu Xia didn't give him any face and directly asked someone to pull him apart.
"Don't show any mercy. If he gets hurt, I'll compensate him. If he kills me, I'll give him a grand funeral."
The widow that Qiao San had an affair with is now a middle-aged woman with charm.
She is twenty years younger than Qiao San and not much older than Gu Xia.
Seeing Qiao San being treated like this, he walked forward anxiously.
"Is there any law? How could you do this to your father?"
"If I still recognize him, even if he dies, it won't be your turn, Zheng Liwan, to take over. He is trash in my eyes now, and you and I are a perfect match. I will not be polite to anyone who prevents my grandfather's soul from returning to his homeland."
Liang Su glanced at her, and then told people to hurry up so as not to miss the auspicious time.
When the old man's coffin was lifted up, Gu Yunsi and his two grandchildren knelt in front of the grave, leaving no room for Qiao San and Zheng Liwan.
Zheng Liwan's face turned pale as she complained, "This is your father, shouldn't we kneel?"
Qiao San was still being held captive, unable to speak, his eyes bloodshot.
Liang Su glanced back at them and said, "My last name is Qiao, Gu Xia is my mother, and I kneel here with all the right and authority. If you are engaged, you will be my wife, but if you are not engaged, you will be my concubine. In the old society, you are at best an unmatched mistress. You still want to kneel down and worship our ancestors? You are dreaming."
Zheng Liwan retorted loudly: "I gave birth to a son for the Qiao family!"
Liang Su looked at Qiao San, then at Zheng Liwan, and smiled.
"You gave birth to a son for the Qiao family, but are you sure it's his child? You're a widow, but you can have an affair with a married man and then have a second and third child. You have no moral bottom line, so how can you be loyal after getting married? Who knows if your child is actually the bloodline of the Qiao family?"
"You framed me!"
Zheng Liwan roared and rushed towards Liang Su, but was controlled by the people led by Gu Xialai.
Gu Xia said coldly: "Su Su, don't talk too much to her."
Liang Su pursed her lips and smiled, "I know, Mom."
The affair between Qiao San and Zheng Liwan did not cause any waves. Apart from this little episode, welcoming the old man back to his hometown went very smoothly.
After finishing the old man's business, Gu Xia took Liang Su back to the Qiao family's small villa.
Many of the Qiao family’s things have been returned and piled up in the villa.
She counted the things and found that some of them were land, which had now been used to build dormitories for various factories, so it would probably be difficult to get them back.
After negotiation, some money was compensated to the Qiao family.
There were also many antique calligraphy and paintings. Gu Xia picked some as souvenirs and donated the rest to the museum in Yancheng.
"It would be troublesome for us to keep these things ourselves, so it would be better to hand them over to the museum, where they have dedicated personnel to protect and restore them."
In terms of this kind of awareness, Chu Jingcong can be said to be unmatched by Gu Xia.
Liang Su smiled and said, "It's useless for me to keep it. You can do whatever you want with it."
She was not greedy for the Qiao family's things. If she wanted money, she could earn it with her own hands.
Besides, what Gu Xia gave her was already enough.
After most of the items were donated, Qiao San and Zheng Liwan hurried over.
When they heard that she had donated the things, they cried and screamed like crazy.
"Why did you donate your grandfather's things?"
Gu Xia found his questioning even more amusing.
"If you don't donate it, are you going to sell it for money?"
Zheng Liwan thought for a moment and pulled Qiao San aside, saying, "Let's consider those things as being given to them. Doesn't that mean this house belongs to us?"
You have to grab one of the house and the things.
Such a big house can make you live comfortably whether you live in it yourself or rent it out.
Qiao San hesitated, but this house...
Gu Xia said sarcastically, "Don't think about this house. It's under my name. If I don't agree, none of you can come in."
"But I'm your father! You have an obligation to support me!"
Gu Xia smiled slightly, "Then go sue me and let the law decide."
Then, he called for someone to drive the two men out.
Apart from the old man, there is no other person or thing in Cheng County that is worthy of Gu Xia's attachment.
After staying here for only a few days, she followed Liang Su back to Coconut City.
On the way, we visited Mrs. Ma before heading back to the base.
