"That's not right, auntie. Boss Gu's mother was really pregnant back then."
Aunt Gu shook her head. "She was pregnant, but when she ran into the air-raid shelter, she fell and the baby was born dead."
"Aunt Gu told me this secretly.
She said that the child in her hand was born to a PLA soldier, and the woman died shortly after the child was born.
She only had time to give the child a name. She said her husband's family was from the wood family, so she named the child Gu Lin.
"No wonder that old woman despises Gu Lao Er so much. It turns out he's not her biological son."
Aunt Gu was very angry, "It's not her birth, she doesn't have to raise the child.
But when Aunt Gu and her husband were about to pass away, they took out the jade pendant that the woman had given them before she died, saying that it could be sold for money.
They also agreed to let the couple take good care of Gu Lin."
"But they actually kicked the child out like that!"
"I later told them that if they didn't want to raise the child, they could give it to me.
They ended up saying that the child's identity was questionable and it wasn't certain whether he was born to a PLA soldier."
"If it gets out of hand, those of us who know about it will be finished."
It can only be said that these rural women were too afraid of something happening. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, their lives had finally settled down, and no one dared to reveal Gu Lin's identity.
Later, when Gu Lin was thirteen years old, he went to the city and was said to be living a good life. He got married, had children, and had a job.
In addition, the situation has been tense over the past decade or so. If there is anything wrong with the identity, the whole village will be held responsible, so Aunt Gu dare not say anything.
After hearing this, Gu Tieniu burst into tears. The child his wife gave birth to at the risk of her life was not treated well, but in the end he grew up, got married and had children.
His heart was filled with sorrow, pain, comfort, and more of a sense of guilt.
He owes his wife and son a debt that he will never be able to repay in this lifetime.
Seeing him crying loudly, everyone present felt sad for him.
Aunt Gu patted him and said, "Alas, it's my fault. If only I had taken Second Gu in earlier, or helped him find his biological parents."
Gu Tieniu knew that she couldn't be blamed for this. "I don't blame you. You haven't had a hard time these years. I understand. I just owe my children too much."
Little Zhuzi ran out to look for his uncle, and saw Gu Tieniu crying. She patted his back with her little hands.
"Don't cry, don't cry, be good, only when you don't cry will you be a good child."
Gu Tieniu wiped his tears and hugged his small body, "My child, my child."
Xiao Zhuzi wiped his face with her little hands, "Grandpa Gu, why are you crying?"
Gu Tieniu touched his head and said, "Grandpa is happy."
Just when I was about to chat with Xiao Zhuzi, I heard a loud shout.
"Boss, boss, you unfilial son, have you gone to the city again? How dare you be disrespectful to your parents..."
