"What child? It's all gone. Tsk tsk, it must have been several months! What a heinous thing to do! Luckily, something good is keeping her alive, otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have survived." The old woman examined her and shook her head.
"Those bastards from the Wang family!" Grandma Gu couldn't help but curse.
"Grandma, is Sister Yumei's baby gone?" Gu Xin asked, sobbing.
"Don't cry. If your sister-in-law Yumei wakes up and sees you crying, she'll start crying too. Be good, let's go outside and wait for this grandma to treat sister-in-law Yumei." Grandma Gu patted Gu Xin's head and led her outside.
Grandma Gu was also covered in Sun Yumei's blood and mud. The old woman called someone to bring Grandma Gu a set of clothes that fit her.
Grandma Gu told Gu Xin to stay where she was while she went to change her clothes.
...
It was getting dark when the Sun brothers finally arrived.
Only three of my brothers and sisters-in-law came; the others must have gone to Sanchakou Village.
Sun Yumei had already woken up and changed into clean clothes.
She remained silent, not uttering a single word, her eyes like a stagnant pool.
"Thank you so much, Grandma Gu and Uncle Gu, for saving my sister! We have no way to repay your life-saving grace. If there is anything we brothers in the Sun family can do for you in the future, just let us know!" The one who spoke was Sun Yumei's eldest brother, Sun Dalang, a tall and strong man with a dark face. His appearance alone was enough to intimidate people.
“We’ll talk about that later. Didn’t Yu Mei go back to her parents’ home last time? How could you be such a brother and sister-in-law? You know that the Wang family is no place for a human being, yet you still let her go back?” Grandma Gu couldn’t help but scold.
"Hey young man, your sister almost lost her life and her unborn child today! I heard from Old Gu that she has seven brothers. Tsk tsk, what a disgrace. A woman with seven brothers on her mother's side living like this is not her fault, it's all your brothers' fault!" the old woman said disdainfully.
The three Sun brothers lowered their heads and did not refute.
"It's getting late, so we'll head back now. We've entrusted the person to you safely; we outsiders can't worry about that now!" Grandma Gu glanced at the Sun family members, then turned and went inside to call Gu Xin.
"Hey, Old Gu, you're not being nice! You usually come all the time with your brother Chuan, and you only come to my place once in a while, and you're already thinking of leaving? No way! I won't let you go!" The old woman chased after him.
"You know my brother Chuan can't live without me, so what's the point of keeping me around?" Grandma Gu said mercilessly.
"Oh dear, he's in his forties, what's wrong with him leaving you for a day? Old Gu, Old Gu..."
Gu Shouxin looked at the two elderly sisters who had entered the room and felt a pang of sadness in his teeth.
His adoptive parents have such a good relationship! It's so good that his adoptive son feels envious.
"Second Uncle Gu, about what happened today..."
"It was nothing, just a small favor! Take good care of Yumei from now on; she's always been quite close to my little girl." Seeing that the Sun brothers were about to thank him again, Gu Shouxin waved his hand and said.
Grandma Gu led Gu Xin out, while her old friend followed behind her, chattering incessantly.
Even after they were on the oxcart, they still wanted to keep them there.
Grandma Gu ruthlessly made Gu Shouxin drive the carriage.
"Gu Xianglan, you bastard! If you come again, I won't serve you! Remember to bring money for my clothes next time, because you're wearing my new clothes!"
Even after the oxcart had gone far away, the loud shouts of the old ladies could still be heard. Grandma Gu's lips curved into a smile.
