"Grandpa said that when he was my age, his father was just like that. He drank every day and ignored him. But when something happened in the family, his father still took him and ran away. Even when they were running away, he didn't forget about him and his sister. Because no parent in this world would abandon their child. Later, in order to make sure Grandpa had food, Grandpa's father went to steal food and managed to get a lot of bread for Grandpa and his sister. That's why Grandpa was able to escape here and be rescued by Grandma. If his father hadn't stolen so much food, Grandpa would have starved to death."
Gu Xin said.
"Grandpa has a younger sister? What about his sister?" Gu Nian asked.
“Grandpa said his sister caught a cold on the way and didn’t survive,” Gu Xin replied. “By the way, Dad, where did you go those days? Mom, sister, where did you go?”
"This..." Gu Shouxin thought of those unbearable scenes in his memory and didn't want to speak.
“I took your sister to find your father,” Cai Xiaolian answered frankly.
Gu Nian knew nothing. Looking at her parents, she felt that the original owner's father must have left behind a lot of problems.
"Alright, let's plant them quickly!" Gu Shouxin didn't dare to look at his wife and daughter, and turned around to continue digging.
Three oil lamps were lit in Houyanggou, and lampshades were added so that they wouldn't be blown out by the wind.
Many of Gu Xin's previous doubts gradually dissipated during the nearly two months they spent together, so she didn't press him about what her father had been doing for those few days that time.
It took most of an hour to plant all the seeds.
Gu Xin insisted on using well water to water it, and the three time-traveling friends helped her. They also felt that the well water at home was a little different. After drinking it at home, there was a subtle difference when they took a sip at the old house.
After washing up and going to bed, Cai Xiaolian was not sleepy at all. Unlike the two children who didn't know what Gu Shouxin had gone to do that time, she had memories. She knew that Gu Shouxin had gone to find the person who haunted his dreams.
It wasn't that she minded the matter; she just wanted to know more, in case that woman reappeared.
"You want to ask about what happened when the original owner went to find someone two years ago?" Gu Shouxin asked with a smile, seeing that Cai Xiaolian had turned over three times.
"Yes! How is it going? Will that woman show up again?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
"Probably not! Two years ago, that woman returned to her hometown with her daughter to pay respects to her ancestors. It's said she was widowed and kicked out by her in-laws. The original owner went to find her, but was humiliated. As a result, he was no longer the proud and arrogant man he used to be; instead, he became a rogue and started harassing her. Then he got a severe beating. After that, that woman remarried. The original owner just didn't find out any news, but he still thought about that woman until the moment he died," Gu Shouxin said.
"So what do you plan to do if that woman reappears?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
“I don’t know him,” Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
"You're not being controlled by the original owner's obsession, are you? Is that woman pretty?" Cai Xiaolian asked again.
"No. That woman is clearly the kind of 'green tea bitch' and 'white lotus' you and Niannian always talk about. She's pretty, but not as pretty as you," Gu Shouxin said.
"I never said I was comparing myself to him!" Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him, in a good mood, and teased, "Shouldn't I feel honored that the Ninth Prince, who holds a high position and is used to seeing beauties, is praising me for being good-looking!"
