Chapter 449 Uncle and nephew recognize each other!
Gu Jinghuai was on duty today with his father and uncle. When he heard the doorman say that his second uncle had come to the house, Gu Jinghuai looked at Gu Shi in shock.
"Father, do I really have a second uncle?"
Gu Shi nodded guiltily and explained, "Your mother and your grandfather had some misunderstandings, so they haven't been in contact for years. You actually have two uncles."
"Second brother, why have I never heard you mention it? Mother and I thought there was no one left at home, so we didn't dare to ask for so many years, for fear that our second sister-in-law would be sad."
Gu Ting wanted to beat Gu Shi. Even if his second brother's wife and her father were having a quarrel, as a son-in-law, shouldn't he mediate between them?
"You know your sister-in-law's temper. She didn't mention it, so I thought she didn't want to. How could I dare to mention it for fear of making her sad?"
Gu Shi actually wanted to talk to his wife many times, but every time he saw his wife's determination, he kept his mouth shut.
"Second brother, you didn't run away secretly with your second brother's wife, did you?"
Gu Ting didn't dare to think about it now. This was really something that his second brother, who was stupid, pursued romance, freedom and was unreliable, could do.
"How could that be? It's just that I lost my memory at the time and my identity was unknown. My father-in-law was afraid that I would cause trouble for my wife, so he objected. My wife refused to accept it, and my father-in-law was furious and wanted to sever ties with my wife, and then..."
The more Gu Shi spoke, the more guilty he felt.
"Then what?" Gu Ting asked anxiously.
"The relationship between father and daughter grew increasingly strained, so my wife and I left Jiangnan and eventually settled in Qinjia Village. You all know what happened next."
The more Gu Shi spoke, the less confident he became. Especially when his eldest brother and eldest son were staring at him, he felt overwhelmed.
"Second brother, how can you be so foolish? Stay away from me during dinner, otherwise mother will scold you and affect my appetite."
Gu Ting felt that his second brother would definitely be scolded by his mother for doing such a thing.
If my second brother-in-law’s second brother hadn’t come to visit today, they would have never known the truth in their entire lives.
"Why did you scold me, mother?"
"You'll know when the time comes! Come on, let's go meet my sister-in-law's second brother."
Gu Ting didn't want to talk to Gu Shi anymore, so he first entertained his second brother's wife. His second brother's wife had suffered a lot for his second brother and the children over the years, and the Gu family wanted to compensate her.
No matter what the reason for the conflict with her family, as long as her family truly loved her, the Gu family would recognize her as a relative.
Gu Jinghuai glanced at his father and felt a little helpless. Without his uncle, the family would be broken up.
Gu Shi felt a little aggrieved following behind. Why did these two suddenly betray him? They were obviously fine when they were off duty.
Gu Ting and Gu Jinghuai went back to change into official uniforms first. Gu Ting went to his mother's yard first. They were going to have dinner together, so he went to wait there.
The most important thing was that he had to talk to his mother so that she wouldn't be angry with his second brother.
Sure enough, after hearing these things, Mrs. Gu wanted to beat her second son up.
The old lady said with regret, "Son, maybe when I was pregnant with you, I gave you all my brains, so your second brother got a good-looking face."
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Gu Ting would have laughed out loud.
"Mother, how could that be? My second brother got the third place in the imperial examination based on his own ability. There was no cheating at all."
"You're talking about this. Maybe our ancestors finally opened their eyes that day!"
"You have to deal with this matter of your second brother's wife. They are a good daughter, but they have suffered so much with your second brother. Your parents must be heartbroken."
"Your second brother hasn't mentioned anything for so many years, and mother thought..."
Mrs. Gu got angry when she thought of this. Her daughter-in-law had a conflict with her father and she was so upset that she couldn't get over it. Her son didn't know how to persuade her.
There is no overnight hatred between parents and children. After arriving in the capital, if the son had persuaded his father more, this would not have happened.
"Mom, don't worry. When we meet my second brother's wife's second brother, we'll find out the situation. If it doesn't work, we'll send someone to bring both of them to Beijing."
"Mother thinks so too, but we need to ask your second brother and sister-in-law for their opinions on this matter."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
In the Mu family courtyard.
Gu Jinghuai changed into his official uniform and hurried over. He was very much looking forward to meeting this uncle. From his mother's reaction before, he guessed that his mother might have a misunderstanding with her maternal grandparents.
I didn't expect this to happen when I heard it today. If my mother had told me earlier, I would definitely help her find her family.
When Gu Jinghuai came in, his daughter Gu Nian was smiling happily in the arms of a man who looked somewhat similar to her mother.
He knew that this must be his second uncle whom he had never met.
"Daddy!" Little Dumpling's cheerful voice made everyone look towards the door.
Gu Jinghuai calmly walked up to the man and saluted, "Jinghuai, meet your second uncle!"
Mu Xuan was originally teasing Nian Nian, but when the little girl called out "Daddy", he looked towards the door.
Looking at the handsome man who was half a head taller than him walking towards him, he was very excited.
It was not until Gu Jinghuai walked up to him, bowed, and called him "Second Uncle" that he felt both relieved and excited.
He has missed a lot over the years. His nephew has married and had children, but as his uncle, he has never done anything for him.
Feeling excited and guilty, Mu Xuan tried his best to make his voice sound calmer.
"You are Jing Huai, no need to be so polite. You are already so old, and I have just met you. This time is in a hurry, so I will give you the greeting gift later."
"Thank you, second uncle!"
Gu Jinghuai felt warm in his heart. Looking at his second uncle's trembling hands, he knew that he was pretending to be calm.
"Not only do you have it, Zhizhi, Nian Nian, Jingshu, and Jingyao also have it. Let's make up for it together."
Mu Xuan has collected a lot of good things over the years, and he doesn't feel bad at all about giving them to his sister's children.
"Thank you very much, second uncle!" Qin Zhizhi hurried to express her gratitude when she heard that she also had a share.
"You call me second uncle, how can I let you call me that for nothing? You have it all!"
"Nian Nian has it too, happy!"
When the little girl heard that she also had a gift, she was very happy.
"Our Nian Nian is so well behaved, she must have it!"
Mrs. Mu smiled happily as she looked at her little granddaughter who seemed to have an inexplicable affinity with her second brother.
"Uncle, is everything okay at home?" Gu Jinghuai looked at the smile on his mother's face and knew that this was the real joy of seeing her relatives.
"Everything is fine. I have already written home to tell them that I have found you. I am sure I will receive a reply soon."
Mu Xuan laughed even more happily when talking about these things. He felt that he had done the most amazing thing, finding his little sister and reuniting the whole family.
"Second uncle, just rest assured and stay in the mansion. If you need any help, please feel free to ask. We are a family and you are welcome to help."
"Okay, Second Uncle knows!"
"Mom, it's time for us to go to Grandma's yard for dinner!"
After a few people exchanged greetings, Gu Jinghuai looked at the time and said to his mother.
"Okay, let's go now and don't make your grandmother wait anxiously."
Mrs. Mu was so happy that she accidentally forgot the time. When her son reminded her, she immediately invited everyone to have dinner in her mother-in-law's yard.
Her second brother is her relative, and she wants to introduce him to her family.
Everyone in the Gu family is very nice, and she believes that everyone will be happy for her.
But sometimes there are unexpected things, like tonight's dinner is destined to be not peaceful.
