“Jinxiang came here on a mission back then and got injured. I was also on a mission at the time and didn’t get the news in time. Xuanxuan heard about it and came here on her own because she was worried.”
Zhao Jinxiang is Zhao Xuan's younger brother, and therefore Gu Nanxun's uncle.
Gu Nanxun's maternal grandfather was Zhao Qinan, and his maternal grandmother was Cheng Ran. They had two children: a daughter, Zhao Xuan, who was Gu Nanxun's mother, and a son, Zhao Jinxiang, who was Gu Nanxun's uncle.
The Zhao family was a family of merchants in the past. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they donated most of their family property. Their youngest son made many merits in the army, and their son-in-law had a high status, which is why they were able to preserve their wealth.
Upon arriving in Heilongjiang Province, Zhao Xuan immediately faced her critically ill younger brother.
After several busy days at the hospital, her younger brother was finally out of danger, but she went into premature labor due to stress and exhaustion.
When Chen Jianjun arrived after receiving the news, he learned that the child had died at birth and his wife had suffered severe bleeding during childbirth and almost did not survive.
In his panic, Chen Jianjun had to take care of his wife and deal with the aftermath of his child's death. He never imagined that someone would be so bold as to switch his child with his.
The death of their child has been a deep-seated problem for the couple for many years. Chen Jianjun feels he failed to protect his wife and child, while Zhao Xuan feels she acted impulsively and caused the child's death. Even Zhao Jinxiang feels he has implicated his sister and caused his nephew's death.
"Have you investigated this thoroughly?"
Although my uncle said there was definitely no problem, the investigation still needs to be conducted. At the very least, we need to give Brother Gu an explanation and the bad guys a result.
"It should be soon, we should have an answer soon."
According to my subordinates, we have found the nurse who was in charge of this ward back then, and my subordinates are on their way to find her.
"Then, Uncle, what do you plan to do?"
Hearing what Uncle Chen said, Chen Bin nodded and continued to ask.
“I want to bring Nanxun back to Beijing. If Lin Zhiqing is willing, we can bring her back together as well.”
"Uncle, have you ever considered that Brother Gu might not want to go back?"
"Why? Is he on good terms with that family?"
After a moment of silence, Chen Jianjun asked. He hated the woman who took his son away; that woman had caused him and Xuanxuan to suffer the pain of losing their child for so many years, and had prevented Xuanxuan from having a peaceful life for so long.
But at the same time, he was also afraid. He was afraid that Nanxun had a particularly good relationship with that family, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help Xuanxuan get revenge, after all, he had to consider his son's attitude.
Upon hearing Chen Jianjun's question, Chen Bin looked at Chen Jianjun with a hesitant expression. He didn't know whether he should tell his uncle about these things, fearing that his uncle might not be able to bear it.
“Just say what’s on your mind. What haven’t I been through? What’s the point of hesitating like this?”
Seeing Chen Bin's hesitant expression, Chen Jianjun couldn't help but urge him, "What time is it? My Binbin is still so indecisive. Doesn't he know he's in a hurry?"
"Uncle, don't be sad if I tell you."
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and tell me."
"Brother Gu is not doing well."
"I heard from the villagers that Brother Gu was never well received by the Gu family since he was a child. He had to do the most work every day but ate the least. Brother Gu never had a full meal when he was a child, but he had to start earning full work points at the age of seven."
"I heard from the villagers that if it weren't for Brother Gu's competence, and the fact that the Gu family was counting on him to help with the work, he would probably have starved to death long ago."
"That's how it happened. When Brother Gu was 15 years old, because that year there was a conscription, everyone who joined the army would receive a subsidy of two hundred yuan. So the Gu family changed Brother Gu's age and let him join the army."
“Brother Gu served in the army for six years. Every month, he had to hand over his salary to the Gu family. If he didn’t, they would write to the army to scold him for being unfilial. Brother Gu had no choice but to hand over his work points to the Gu family every month.”
"The Gu family built a house with Gu's salary, and then used Gu's salary to get wives for their three sons."
"Even so, the Gu family didn't treat Brother Gu well."
"This year, Brother Gu was injured while on a mission in the army and returned home with both legs crippled. The Gu family took Brother Gu's compensation money and then kicked him out of their home."
"They actually dared to..."
Listening to Chen Bin's account, Chen Jianjun gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Big brother, let Binbin continue. Binbin, please continue."
Chen Tianming was also very angry. How dare that old Gu family treat his Chen family's children so badly?
"Brother Gu was so heartbroken that he severed ties with the Gu family."
"Good thing they cut ties; they won't pay compensation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian shouted, "Good! This is a good break!"
"What happens to Nanxun next? He's been kicked out of his home, where will he live, and who will take care of him?"
Upon hearing Chen Jianjun's question, Chen Bin paused for a moment before continuing.
"Brother Gu was crippled in both legs and was kicked out of his home, so the village could only arrange for him to live in a dilapidated house that used to house hunters."
"Fortunately, Brother Gu was kind-hearted when he was young and saved the youngest son of the brigade leader and his childhood friend."
"Fortunately, these two families are also grateful. Although they themselves are struggling to make ends meet, they still managed to keep Brother Gu alive by feeding him regularly."
"But this is limited, mainly because Brother Gu suffered too much of a blow."
"Fortunately, we went to the countryside later, and Brother Gu met Lin Qing."
"Lin Qing is a doctor. She took the initiative to treat Brother Gu's leg. Over time, the two of them fell in love."
"And Lin, the educated youth, did not look down on Brother Gu. She not only treated Brother Gu's leg, but also made a wheelchair for him, and asked the aunties in the village to make clothes for him."
"Moreover, Lin Qing is exceptionally kind to Brother Gu. She nourishes Brother Gu's body every day with a variety of dishes, including malted milk powder, meat, and refined grains. In less than a month, she managed to fatten Brother Gu up."
"Uncle, do you know what? All the aunties in the village are envious of Brother Gu now. They say he's lucky to have found such a good wife."
"Good...good...Qingqing is such a good girl."
"..."
An hour later, Chen Bin finished telling his story. He hadn't spoken this much in a long time. His uncle and father had been pressing him for answers until he told them everything he knew, and only then did they let him go.
Chen Bin deeply regretted not inviting Wang Haoran. If Haoran had been there, he wouldn't have had to say so much. After all, Haoran had found out all these things, and he definitely knew more details than he did.
"Smack..."
Hearing the sound, Chen Bin turned his head and saw that his uncle's eyes were bloodshot and his face was covered in tears. He slammed his hand hard on the table by the bed, smashing the wooden table to pieces. Water glasses and rice bowls were scattered all over the floor.
"Go and call the doctor quickly."
