Whether voluntary or forced, the villagers of Lujia Village cooperated very well. Therefore, the rice harvesting proceeded relatively smoothly. However, Gu Shaoyong was somewhat troubled by another matter.
His daughter's attitude towards him had finally started to improve. If he were to suddenly suggest taking her home, would it upset her and cause her to ignore him again, or just treat him with 'politeness'?
Facing the clouds, Gu Shaoyong perfectly portrayed the character's hesitation and reluctance to speak. In the end, the clouds couldn't help but ask him a question.
"Dad, is there something you want to tell me?"
Gu Shaoyong looked at Yun Duo and hesitated before speaking, "Uh... well... Duo'er, my dear, Dad has something to discuss with you, but I don't know how to tell you..."
Yun Duo blinked and said bluntly, "Why don't you just say it directly?"
"Uh..." Gu Shaoyong was taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense. Since he had to say it anyway, he couldn't get around it no matter how many times he tried to go around it.
Forget it, he'll get stabbed whether he sticks his neck out or not, so he might as well just tell him directly.
At worst, we can coax her back slowly later.
"It's like this, about you... about the Yun family growing high-yield rice, because it's a matter of Xichuan, and Xichuan is your grandfather, uh... I mean your grandfather in the Gu family, your father's father."
"Xichuan is your grandfather's stronghold. Many people here are your grandfather's former students and friends. So, your grandfather is quite well-informed in Xichuan."
"So, the fact that your family... no, the Yun family, grew this rice actually reached your grandfather's ears first, and then it was sent to the King's office through normal channels."
"Then... actually, your father doesn't know how your grandfather found out about your existence. Anyway, before your father came to Xichuan, your grandfather only said one sentence to me, saying... since you are a child of our Gu family, we still have to bring you back to the Gu family."
“Child… although we don’t necessarily have to listen to your grandfather. Anyway, he’s used to his father’s rebelliousness, so it’s not a big deal to go against him one more time.”
"It's just that Dad is worried that if your grandfather knows about you, it's the same as your uncle knowing about you... Dad is worried that you might be in danger, so I still think it's better for you to come home with Dad."
What do you think?
Gu Shaoyong kept a close eye on Yun Duo's expression, and his tone of voice was unconsciously cautious, carefully considering his words before speaking in a consultative manner. He was afraid that a single wrong word might anger Yun Duo.
This story is truly heartbreaking. Despite being her own daughter, she can't be close to her. Even speaking to her requires careful consideration. She wants to be kind to her, but feels lost, unsure how to begin, or how to truly care for her.
However, this can't be blamed on Yun Duo. It was his own carelessness that led to his so-called older brother harming Yun Duo.
Not only did he end up living among the common people, but he was also abused from a young age and suffered greatly. The thought of it filled him with self-blame and heartache. After seeing Yunduo, he only wanted to make amends and could not put on any airs of a father.
