"Of course it's possible, of course it's possible!" Upon hearing Yun Duo's words, Zhou Huiyu immediately agreed, looking flattered and delighted.
Gu Shaoyong opened his mouth, thinking that although his wife's health was not good, it was mostly psychological. Judging from her current appearance, it was clear that their daughter was 'willing' to slowly 'accept' them, which could only be good for her health. If he stopped her, he was afraid he would only upset his wife.
However, she still kept Yun Duo's words in mind.
We should at least have a doctor take a look and see if she can use royal jelly.
Seeing Zhou Huiyu's prompt agreement to her suggestion, Yun Duo felt a strange, inexplicable unease. After a moment's thought, she added, "Everyone in the village knows me and is familiar with me. I'm afraid that if they see you, they might gossip, and it wouldn't be good if it reached Grandpa and Grandma's ears. Besides, the conditions in the village aren't good; even the roads aren't fully paved. Why don't you stay in town for a while? If you don't like town, you can stay in the county seat..."
Originally, Zhou Huiyu definitely hoped to be as close to her daughter as possible, but she was reluctant to go against her daughter's wishes. Of course, more importantly, she didn't want to upset her daughter, fearing that if her daughter got angry, she would really disown her. So, upon hearing Yun Duo's words, she quickly said, "I'll stay in town. Town is quite nice."
Finally, she said cautiously, "My dear daughter, you go to school in town every day, right? How about you come home for lunch?"
“Hmm…” Yun Duo frowned subconsciously, resisting the urge to look at Zhou Huiyu’s face, and said only, “My name is Yun Duo. If you are willing, Madam, you can call me Duo’er.”
"As for meals... Grandpa gave me money to order student meals at a restaurant outside the school. The student meals are a monthly subscription, and I just paid for this month's meal."
Upon hearing that Yun Duo didn't even want to eat at home, Zhou Huiyu became anxious and stammered, "No, no. My dear girl... my dear Duo'er, Mom... I... I just want to help you get some nutrition. The student meals at the cafeteria aren't good enough. You're so thin, it breaks my heart to see you like this... I just want to help you get some nutrition. Let's eat at home, okay? I... I'll buy a house outside your school later, so you can get there right after you leave the school gate. I definitely won't let you walk too far."
He was happy to find his daughter, but for him, his love for her wasn't just because she was a continuation of his bloodline; more importantly, she was the fruit of his love with the woman he adored. In Gu Shaoyong's heart, his daughter was important, but his wife was naturally even more so.
So, seeing his wife's incoherent attempts to please their daughter, Gu Shaoyong felt genuinely sorry for her.
However, he couldn't speak harshly to his daughter, firstly because he couldn't bear to, and secondly because his wife would definitely object.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Child, listen to your mother. We won't disturb your life right now, but please understand her. Losing you and finding you so late is all my fault as your father. Your mother... has really had a hard time. She only wants to take care of you as much as possible without disturbing your life right now because she loves you."
"Besides, I have to work and can't stay here with her forever. To be precise, I'll be leaving soon. She must be very lonely all alone in this unfamiliar town. Why don't you keep her company?"
