Chapter 177: Eggs cannot be placed in one basket

When Shen Jiale and Lu Mingfeng rushed to the hospital, they saw Grandpa Gu lying on the bed with a bandage on his head.

Gu Siyuan sat next to Grandpa Gu's bed, with a button missing from his clothes.

Gu Chengze had a cut on the corner of his mouth and a bruise on his left eye. He was pulled by Gu Zhengyuan to stand by the side, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

An Li took the kettle to get water without saying a word. Gu Zhengyuan saw Lu Mingfeng and his wife coming and nodded slightly.

Shen Jiale asked, "How is Dad's injury?"

Gu Zhengyuan said, "It's a mild concussion. The doctor said he will be in the hospital for observation for a long time. If Dad doesn't feel any other discomfort, he can be discharged today."

Shen Jiale walked to the bed and asked Gu Siyuan how he fell.

Gu Siyuan turned around and glared at Gu Chengze. Gu Chengze obviously shrank a little, and then moved behind Gu Zhengyuan.

Grandpa Gu said, "Thank you for coming to visit me. It's not a big deal. When you get older, you're more likely to get bumped. Siyuan was too nervous."

On the way, Lu Mingfeng told Shen Jiale that when he passed by Gu's house, he saw Gu Zhengyuan carrying Grandpa Gu on his back. He went up to ask and was told that he fell, but he didn't say how.

Seeing that Gu Chengze had a wound on his face, he guessed that it had something to do with him.

The three of them came in a hurry and hadn't eaten yet. Shen Jiale's stomach made a sound, and Gu Siyuan asked Grandpa Gu if he had eaten.

Grandpa Gu said he hadn't.

Gu Siyuan said he was going out to buy food.

Gu Zhengyuan said, "We have ready-made meals at home, don't waste money buying them."

Gu Siyuan ignored him. Shen Jiale and Lu Mingfeng said goodbye to Grandpa Gu and followed him out.

On the way, Shen Jiale learned from Gu Siyuan that it was Gu Chengze who pushed Grandpa Gu down.

The reason was that Gu Chengze went to Grandpa Gu's room to look for something and was blocked by Grandpa Gu. In a hurry, he pushed Grandpa Gu away, and Grandpa Gu fell and hit the corner of the table.

After Gu Siyuan rushed to the hospital, he knew the reason and beat Gu Chengze.

Arriving at the state-owned hotel, several people ordered dumplings. After eating, Shen Jiale and Lu Mingfeng went back.

Gu Siyuan paid a deposit, borrowed the hotel's lunch box, packed a portion and took it to the hospital.

Arriving at the ward, Gu Siyuan opened the lunch box, picked up the dumplings and fed them to Grandpa Gu.

Gu Chengze saw the dumplings in the lunch box, which were still stuffed with pork and cabbage, and said dissatisfiedly: "My parents and I didn't eat either, why did you bring back only one portion? What should we do?"

Gu Siyuan didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard this, and continued to feed Grandpa Gu.

Gu Zhengyuan said, "There is food at home. If you are hungry, go back and eat."

Gu Chengze muttered, "There are only potatoes and cabbage at home. What good food is there?"

At this time, the nurse came over and asked them to pay the fee.

Gu Zhengyuan said he would go right away. After the nurse left, Gu Zhengyuan said to Gu Siyuan, "Siyuan, I am in financial difficulty now. Do you think... can you..."

Gu Siyuan still ignored him and fed the dumplings to Grandpa Gu.

When Grandpa Gu was full, Gu Siyuan ate the remaining dumplings himself and told Grandpa Gu to return the lunch box.

Gu Zhengyuan called An Li aside to discuss and asked her to go back to her parents' home to borrow some money to pay the fee.

An Li said that her parents had already lent her money, and she was too embarrassed to ask for money again, so she asked Gu Zhengyuan to borrow it himself.

Just when Gu Zhengyuan was worried about who to borrow money from, Gu Siyuan came back with the bill.

...

In the evening, before the hospital closed, the doctor said that Mr. Gu was not seriously ill and could be discharged.

Gu Zhengyuan said to Gu Siyuan: "I will return the money to you when I get my salary."

An Li pulled the corner of Gu Zhengyuan's clothes and whispered: "We still owe so much foreign debt."

On the way to send Mr. Gu back, Gu Siyuan took him to dinner, but still did not invite Gu Zhengyuan.

When they arrived at Gu's house, Gu Zhengyuan said, "Don't go back tonight, stay with your grandpa more."

Grandpa Gu said, "You don't have to accompany me. Siyuan has to go to school tomorrow. You can just come and see me when you have time on the weekend."

Gu Siyuan closed the door and talked to Grandpa Gu.

"Grandpa, the Gu family is in trouble now. Do you want me to give you to my..."

Before Gu Siyuan finished speaking, he was covered by Grandpa Gu's mouth: "The difficulties are only temporary. I have a pension and they both have wages. Living security is not a problem."

"But you are so old and you still have to suffer. I can't bear it."

Grandpa Gu patted his hand and said, "It is said that eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Grandpa is glad that you made the right decision. I hope that I can see the Gu family return to its peak in my lifetime."

Gu Siyuan promised: "I won't let Grandpa down."

Thinking of Gu Siyuan going to the hospital and beating Gu Chengze today, Grandpa Gu took Gu Siyuan's hand and said, "Siyuan, don't be so impulsive in the future."

"Grandpa, he treated you like that, but you still want to protect him."

"I'm not protecting him. They say that a person's character can be seen at the age of three. Chengze is useless, but you are different. You have a bright future. You can't be good brothers, but I don't want you to have another enemy."

Gu Siyuan nodded: "Grandpa, I understand."

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and Gu Siyuan was about to go back. Before leaving, he took out some money and gave it to Gu Zhengyuan.

Gu Zhengyuan looked at the amount of money, which was the same as the monthly living expenses he had sent to Gu Siyuan before, and he felt mixed emotions.

He didn't want to take it, but his family was in trouble now.

If he took it, after Gu Siyuan paid back the money, the little affection between them as father and son would be over.

Seeing her husband hesitate, An Li took the money from Gu Siyuan and said, "Thank you, Siyuan. I will use this money to buy meat for Dad to supplement his nutrition."

...

Usually, Gu Siyuan and Shen Jiale go home together. Worried about the health of Grandpa Gu, Gu Siyuan left early after school these days, and Shen Jiale went home alone.

As soon as he walked out of the classroom door, someone called Shen Jiale.

Shen Jiale looked back and saw that it was Qin Guisheng, a classmate in the department.

"Shen Jiale, we are going to go hiking together this weekend. Have you signed up?"

Shen Jiale shook his head: "No."

"I'll sign you up."

Shen Jiale said he would leave if he didn't want to go.

Qin Guisheng chased him out: "You are usually not sociable. You should use this opportunity to get along well with your classmates."

"I have four children at home. I have to spend the weekend with them."

Qin Guisheng was surprised: "You have four children and you still have the energy to study for college. It's not easy."

"My family supports me very much. They help me take care of the kids while I am studying."

Qin Guisheng was puzzled and asked, "You have already been admitted to the university, why don't you get rid of everything in the past and bring them here?"

Shen Jiale frowned unhappily, "They are my family, of course we have to live together."

Qin Guisheng saw that Shen Jiale was angry and explained, "I just feel sorry for you. You are so beautiful and outstanding, but for them, you have to give up the opportunity to go out and play. It's a pity."

Shen Jiale said unhappily, "Instead of going out with a group of unfamiliar people, I would rather spend more time with my family."

Qin Guisheng shook his head and said she was too stupid.
