"Father!" Gu Xin hugged Gu Shouxin's waist, tears and snot all over his newly changed clothes.
Gu Nian sighed, "I didn't realize our heroine was so stubborn!"
"Stop crying. Tell Daddy, did someone bully you? It's so early in the morning, those little brats who usually bully you shouldn't be up yet! Was it your sister?" Gu Shouxin said, looking at Gu Nian with a questioning gaze.
Gu Nian shrugged, looking helpless.
"No, it's not my sister! Father, I don't want Mother to leave us! I don't want Mother to leave us!" Gu Xin shook her head and cried loudly.
"My goodness, what's wrong? What's wrong? When did your mother leave you? Are you having a nightmare?" Cai Xiaolian had already gotten up and was just dressed when she heard the crying outside. She came out before she even had time to comb her hair.
"Mother!" Gu Xin grabbed Cai Xiaolian's hand and Gu Shouxin's hand with her other hand.
"Yes, Mother is here, don't be afraid!" Cai Xiaolian said gently, lowering her voice.
"Sister, come here!" Gu Xin looked at Gu Nian again, blowing her nose.
Gu Nian stepped forward helplessly.
The family of four stood together.
Gu Nian held her parents' hands and let them hold them, then took Gu Xin's hand and put all four hands together: "Mom, promise me that no matter what happens, you won't abandon me and Dad, and I'll tell you."
"Okay, Mom promises Xinxin, from now on, whether we're poor or rich, whether we're facing life-threatening dangers or facing the most difficult circumstances, no matter what happens, Mom will always be Xinxin's mother, and Mom will always be by Xinxin's side, protecting Xinxin." Cai Xiaolian said earnestly, looking at her little girl's pitiful, tearful face.
"And Dad, no matter what happens, Mom can't just leave with my sister and leave me and Dad behind, okay?" Gu Xin added.
“Okay, Mom will stay with you three. Mom won’t leave anyone behind. Xinxin, tell Mom what happened, okay? Mom can’t live without you. When Mom went to the county to discuss business, you sisters weren’t by my side, and I kept thinking about you. How could I leave you behind?” Cai Xiaolian said.
So early in the morning, with the sky just beginning to lighten, what could possibly have happened to frighten her precious little girl like this?
Unlike Gu Nian, she was not confused. She had memories. Once, the original owner, Cai Xiaolian, had abandoned her daughter outside because Gu Xin was sick and the medicine was expensive. It was only after Grandma Gu intervened that the child was brought back.
The time they transmigrated, Xin Xin had just recovered from her illness. Wasn't the original owner, Gu Shouxin, gambling away the money his grandfather gave him for medicine, which led to three members of his family transmigrating?
She knew that Gu Xin was an extremely insecure child who longed for family affection. Like Gu Nian, she thought that spending time together would gradually make Gu Xin feel secure, but who knew...
“Then I believe in Mother, just like I believe in Father!” Gu Xin finally stopped crying, wiped her tears with her other hand, and said, “Just now, my sister, Huihui, Sisi and I heard Cai Tou and Cai Bao say in front of Grandma’s grave that Mother was not Grandma’s biological daughter, and that their family does not intend to give Mother the things Grandma left behind, but wants to take the things to claim her as a relative.”
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Nian.
Gu Nian nodded: "Yes, Xin Xin's summary is very accurate, concise and to the point, without a single wasted word!"
"Then why did you go to the cemetery? It wasn't even dawn yet!" Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian said at the same time.
