"At that time, the villagers said that you had returned to Jiangnan, so I rushed to Jiangnan City to inquire.
Finally, I found your uncle's house, but he had no news of you either."
"Where have you been all these years?"
Shen Qingshan had been looking for Gu Yao's parents for a long time, and only gave up asking in recent years.
Speaking of her parents, Gu Yao's mood became obviously depressed: "Uncle Shen, my parents... are no longer alive. My father died of illness not long after returning to the city.
My mother later remarried in Jinshi and broke off relations with my uncle's family. Later, she got cancer and passed away."
What?
"Are both your parents dead?"
Shen Qingshan's expression was stiff, as if he had heard terrible news, and he stared at Gu Yao in shock.
"Yeah, they're all gone." Gu Yao responded softly.
"How could it be? How could they all die?" Shen Qingshan murmured to himself, unwilling to believe it.
Gu Yao looked at Uncle Shen's devastated look and didn't know how to comfort him.
It took her a long time to get over the death of her parents.
Now that Liu Yuning loves and protects her, the emptiness in her heart is gradually filled.
She looked at Shen Qingshan helplessly. After a long time, she saw that he seemed to have completely accepted this fact and sighed deeply.
"Yaoyao, you..." Shen Qingshan hesitated to speak. There were some things in his heart that he didn't know how to say.
Should I tell Gu Yao?
Since Ayu and his wife have passed away, and Yaoyao has her own life, if I tell that story, will it... ?
But if I don't tell her, Yaoyao will never know in her life that...
Alas, Shen Qingshan fell into deep entanglement.
Should I say it or not?
His confusion and hesitation were written all over his face, and Gu Yao and Liu Yuning naturally noticed it.
Gu Yao asked directly: "Uncle Shen, do you have anything to say to me?"
Looking at Gu Yao's innocent and beautiful face, Shen Qingshan gritted his teeth and finally shook his head.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it for now.
Gu Yao didn't ask the answer, and it was not appropriate to ask further.
“Then Uncle Shen, Yuning and I will go home first.”
Shen Qingshan nodded: "Okay. You go back first. By the way, Yaoyao, don't be angry about what your Aunt Zhu said to you today. She is just like that."
Shen Qingshan felt a headache when he thought about having to deal with things between him and Zhu Dachang after returning.
Speaking of Zhu Dachang, Gu Yao remembered who Zhu Dachang was!
Aren’t they the Zhu family from Qianfeng Village? The previous generation moved here from Jincheng.
She used to be known in the village as a domineering and aggressive person.
Gu Yao felt a little sympathetic towards Shen Qingshan: “Uncle Shen, why are you with Aunt Zhu?”
Shen Qingshan: "Back when I was in Qianfeng Village, one year I went fishing in the river to earn work points. Because my physical condition was too poor, I lost my balance and fell into the river. It was flood season at the time, and the river was swollen. I drowned and lost consciousness. It was you, Aunt Zhu, who saved me."
Shen Qingshan also didn't want to marry Zhu Dachang.
But the other party was threatening him with the favor of saving his life, and he was a very gentlemanly person, so he would not do anything ungrateful.
Fishing? Drowning? Aunt Zhu saving people?
Hearing Shen Qingshan's words, some fragments suddenly flashed through Gu Yao's mind, and she tried hard to recall...
Suddenly I slapped my forehead and remembered!
“Uncle Shen! The person who saved you back then was not Aunt Zhu, but Uncle Wang from the neighboring village!”
On the day Shen Qingshan drowned, Gu Yao happened to be taken by some older children from the same village to go fishing.
