Chapter 121 Don’t Follow Your Parents’ Old Path
Hearing the ridicule from his second uncle, Gu Yixiao had some doubts.
But in an instant, he felt that at least Gu Lei Ting was helping him pursue Xu Ruchu.
He had nothing much to say anyway.
"How did you persuade him?" he asked
Almost everyone knows how stubborn his grandmother is.
At home, she has rules for how much rice to buy, how much to eat in one meal, and how much water to add.
She would care if there was anything wrong or the taste was not right.
"Grandma is not easy to persuade."
"She's easily influenced. An old lady is old, so she needs to be coaxed, just like a kindergarten kid. Just coax her with all your might. I'm used to coaxing your brother, so it's not easy to use the same tactics I used on your brother to coax your grandmother!"
At the beginning, Gu Lei Ting would make his grandmother angry and start swearing as soon as he opened his mouth.
But now the old lady has calmed down.
Every time these topics are mentioned, I sigh silently.
"Second brother, I know what you're thinking. It's not that I look down on Xu Ruochu, but I overheard you and Li Mei mentioning that her background is unknown and that she was adopted by your wife. Yixiao is, after all, a child of our Gu family. It's not a good idea to marry a girl whose parents are unknown."
"What if Xu Ruchu's biological parents aren't good people and come to us in the future to ask for money, and do whatever they want under the guise of your in-laws? How are you going to handle it?"
The old lady spoke earnestly.
"I know you think I'm overthinking this, but it's all based on experience. I've seen it happen so many times. So many girls were abandoned by their parents and then taken care of by their adoptive parents. As soon as their finances improved, their biological parents would find them and try to take advantage of them."
"This stubborn girl is willing to resist, but I don't think Xu Ruchu can do it."
The more the old lady spoke, the more she felt that things would definitely develop in the direction she thought.
"You're just like your big brother. You just don't listen."
"Your eldest brother was the same at the beginning. He refused to marry her and insisted on marrying her. As a result, he lost his life along with that woman."
When it comes to this matter, the old lady still feels upset about it.
That’s right, Gu Leiting’s elder brother is Gu Yixiao’s father. The old lady didn’t agree with him being with his wife.
It was raining heavily that day. The eldest brother couldn't bear to let his wife and children leave in the rain, so he decided to drive them away himself.
As a result, they encountered a car accident on the way to live on the island.
Of the family of four, except Gu Yixiao, all others died at that time.
Gu Lei Ting was young at the time, and seeing his elder brother become like this had a huge shock on him.
For so many years, the old lady has been blaming her sister-in-law.
"Mom, do you still think it's my sister-in-law's fault? If it hadn't been raining heavily that day and you told them to get out, why would my brother have driven them back to the island himself out of heartache?"
"You mean, this is still my fault?"
The old lady was unwilling to admit it.
But she knew that the death of the eldest brother and his wife was really closely related to her stubbornness.
Although everyone said it was an accident.
But if she hadn't made a fuss that day, nothing would have happened even if she had allowed them to stay at home for one night.
Gu Leiting's words made her heart begin to collapse.
"You always like to say this, but do you regard me as your mother?" asked the old lady.
You keep blaming her. Can't she make mistakes?
As a mother, she has been heartbroken over the years.
"I just don't want you to make another mistake because of your stubbornness. Yixiao is such a good kid, and our Xiaochu is so young now. If it weren't for the fact that Yixiao is a good kid and is loyal in his relationships, I wouldn't want to be the peacemaker."
"This is the child I raised, no different from my own." Gu Lei Ting continued to lobby.
"What do you mean by no father or mother? Her parents are unknown. Li Mei and I are her biological parents."
The old lady said slowly: "Just foster parents."
"Unless you find out who her biological parents are, dead or alive, I will know what kind of family she was born into. As long as you can find out, then I will not care about their affairs."
The old lady also knew about this matter, but it was useless to keep holding on to it.
But she had to see who Xu Ruchu's parents were.
If it's a wealthy family, it would be even better if they are well-matched. If it's an ordinary but harmonious family, she is willing to tolerate it.
But if the family is extremely scary and has a lot of troubles, then she doesn't mind breaking up the couple.
After all, once married, many people can't get rid of it.
"Okay."
Gu Lei Ting felt that the old lady was forcing him to do something.
How could anyone possibly make such a request?
But he still agreed.
Just go back and ask Jiang Limei.
Even if you lose your way, you still have time to find a shadow.
But in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and Xu Ruochu's identity has remained a mystery.
"Second Uncle, you keep asking me to do this, what do you want to do?"
"fine."
"Grandma said you mentioned my parents?"
At that time, when his parents encountered high waves, his younger brother was swept into the sea and died. Gu Yixiao happened to faint, so they gave him the only good lifebuoy, which allowed him to survive.
Therefore, they missed the opportunity to die together.
Over the years, Gu Yixiao has been wondering whether he was lucky or unlucky that night.
Everyone said he was pitiful because his parents and younger brother were all gone overnight.
But others said that he had a close call and almost died with them.
But no matter what it was, the old lady supported him from then on.
At first, she was very distant.
It was not until he came first every time that the old lady softened her attitude a little.
The old lady told Gu Yixiao that he had to become a valuable person.
He always knew what happened that night, and the old lady always cried with tears in her eyes.
How could she not feel heartbroken when she lost her own son and one of her grandsons?
"Yes, I advised her not to let you follow your parents' path. What if you elope with Xiaochu?"
Gu Lei Ting sighed, "Zi Yang loves Xiao Chu the most. If you take her away, our whole family will collapse."
I heard Gu Lei Ting say that Xu Ruchu was so important.
He was also very happy.
But when he heard Gu Leiting say what if they eloped, his shameful heart moved.
Xu Ruochu enjoyed his college life so much that he participated in so many activities and even received many scholarships.
If he really had a sudden thought and insisted on taking Xu Ruchu to elope, Xu Ruchu would probably have a big fight with him before they even got there.
Then the two of them probably won't be able to see each other again.
"I can't do that. Xiaochu loves school very much. If I take her away, she will hate me."
Gu Yixiao knew very well that there were some things that absolutely could not be done.
So he could never understand why some people knew clearly what the other person wanted and cared about, but refused to give it to them, and even kept teasing and laughing at them.
I thought that doing this would double the happiness.
But in reality, it only makes people disgusted.
