Chapter 482 483. Family Letter
When Gu Ledi heard that both the adults and the children were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly squeezed to the front, "Doctor Liu, I'll go with you to get the medicine."
Li Cuicui watched them walk out and immediately called out to Gu Ledi, "Did you bring the silver?"
Gu Ledi slapped his forehead hard. He was really anxious and confused.
But he didn't have a penny on him, and his wife was still recuperating in the inner room.
"You've got a lot of potential," Li Cuicui took out a few pieces of silver from her bosom and stuffed them directly into his hands, "Go quickly."
"Hey, thank you grandma, I'll return it to you when I get back."
Li Cuicui waved her hand nonchalantly, "Let's talk about it later, go quickly."
Only Li Cuicui and Gu Lejia were left in the yard. Li Cuicui looked at him coldly, "In fact, you should have a clue in your heart. Even if it wasn't done by Song this time, who can hide her thoughts from?
I am putting this here today, if you fight or make a fuss under normal circumstances, it has nothing to do with this old woman.
But no one can harm the baby in the belly, otherwise I, an old woman, don’t mind doing it myself and throwing the person out.”
Gu Lejia, "...Xiuniang can't do it anymore..."
"Really?" Xie Ruyi walked out of the room at this time, "Have you forgotten what happened in Haicheng that day?
If it weren't for your uncle and aunt over there, do you think you would still be alive?"
Ancient Music House, "..."
Xie Ruyi was really angry this time. "Your second sister-in-law is pregnant with our Gu family's grandson. No matter what you two think, if anyone dares to touch my grandson, I will skin him alive."
"Mom, those are things of the past. Besides, Xiuniang has been very honest during this period. Can you guys stop bringing up the past?
I am the child's uncle, can I harm him?"
"Oh," Xie Ruyi sneered, "You may not, but I have to say that you will indulge her."
Gu Lejia's fingers were pinched into his palms, "Mom, we are all your sons, you can't belittle me just because I marry a daughter-in-law who is not what you want.
In the past two years, I have worked diligently every day. Isn't this enough to erase those few mistakes?"
"Mistake? So you also know that it was your own mistake?" When Xie Ruyi thought about how all the unhappiness in the past two years was caused by this son, his face darkened. He was about to scold him a few words but was stopped by Li Cuicui.
"Everyone, please say less. Now neither side can produce evidence to convince the other. We are not judges who can judge cases like gods, so let's not make a fuss here and make a fool of ourselves.
Especially the Le family, you should look for the reasons in yourselves. Just based on the tone you used to talk to your mother just now, I really wanted to pick up a stick and hit you a few times.
Go back and have a good talk with Song. If you don't want to be involved in the future, try to get her not to come here. If there is a next time, I will not care about the family's reputation and will report it directly to the county government."
"Madam," Hu Dong was already standing at the door when Gu Ledi left. When he heard Li Cuicui pause, he quickly asked, "Can I come in?"
When Li Cuicui saw that it was Hu Dong, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the right-hand man of the seventh daughter-in-law, and he is also one of us. "Hu Dong is here, come in quickly."
Hu Dong smiled and nodded to Xie Ruyi and Gu Lejia, without any embarrassment of eavesdropping.
"Why are you here today?"
Hu Dong took out a letter from his bosom and said, "I'm back to my old house. This is a letter from Master Gu. I was afraid of delay, so I sent it over as soon as I received it."
"There's a letter from Old Seven," Li Cuicui quickly wiped her hands on her clothes before taking the letter.
But when she opened the envelope, she remembered that although she recognized the handwriting, she didn't recognize the other person.
Just when he looked up, he saw Gu Lejia. Unexpectedly, the boy was so scared that he quickly took two steps back and said, "I don't even know a few words."
"They are worse than three-year-olds," Li Cuicui said with disdain, then turned around and looked at Hu Dong with a loving face, "I have to trouble you to read for me, these brats are not good at studying, they have been studying with the scholar for a while, but they can't even read the surname."
"..." Hu Dong took the letter again, "As I should."
This was just a letter to report safety, also to tell Li Cuicui that he was doing fine over there and to ask the elderly at home to take good care of himself.
"I'm glad you're safe," Li Cuicui carefully put the letter back into the envelope along the original fold. "Shopkeeper Hu hasn't been here for a long time. Come on, I'll take you home to eat something."
This child is good in every way except that he is too thin. He has been taking Chinese medicine for several months but there seems to be no significant improvement. This is not good. He must be eating inadequate food.
Li Cuicui thought so and actually took action. She asked Xie Ruyi to take good care of Xie, and she went home with Mrs. Song.
Hu Dong hurriedly followed, "Old Madam, there's really no need to bother you. I have a lot of things to do in this county, so I won't stay here any longer. Next time I come, I will listen to you and eat more to gain weight."
Hu Dong himself was also very depressed. He tried hard to stuff food into his mouth every day, but he never gained any weight.
Now, anyone who knows him wants to feed him when they meet him, which really makes it difficult for him.
Li Cuicui, "No matter how busy you are, you still have time to eat a meal. Fortunately, there are many things ready at home, so it won't take you too long."
The old lady actually has her own little thoughts. Now that the seventh brother and his wife are not here, Hu Dong has to deal with all the big and small matters. He cannot be too tired, otherwise, no one will be able to handle such a big mess.
Thinking of this, the old lady became even more enthusiastic. She and Mrs. Song prepared a large table of dishes in a short time. "Come, have a bowl of mutton soup first. This is the best warming tonic."
Only then did Hu Dong remember the person who had never appeared from the beginning to the end, "Where is the old man?"
"Don't worry about him, maybe he's gone somewhere to have a drink now," Li Cuicui said nonchalantly. If it weren't for the impact on Lao Qi's career by suffocating this old ghost to death, she really wanted to be a widow.
Even though Hu Dong seldom visited Gaoling Village, he had heard of this old man. Moreover, every time he entered the village, in those few brief encounters, he always acted superior.
He had a bad first impression of such people, and he mentioned it casually just for the sake of courtesy.
One of them wanted to feed the cat, and the other really wanted to gain some weight, so both the host and the guest enjoyed the meal.
On his way back, Hu Dong had to walk a long distance along the road at the entrance of the village to digest his food. Only when he felt his stomach was better did he get back on the carriage.
