Chapter 15: The Burden



The two of them sat down and started eating. The food was all drooling over, and Gu Chun looked disgusted.

"Grandpa, aunt, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Mrs. Gu put down the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Girl, your name is Gu Chun, right? I am your father's biological mother, so you should call me grandma."

"Did you not hear clearly what the factory director said today? We only have one grandfather registered as our resident, and he's already passed away. You two are at most our relatives."

Old Mrs. Gu was full of resentment. She was about to make a scene at this damn girl, but Old Mr. Gu coughed lightly and retracted his hand.

"Gu Chun, even though your father was adopted by his uncle, we are still your biological grandparents.

We are both old now, and it is very sad to see you two children die young. We are also heartbroken to see you children lose your parents at such a young age.

Honestly, Mr. Gu is quite good at manipulating people's hearts. If Gu Chun was still that teenage girl, shouldering the responsibility of four younger siblings, she might have been moved by now, after all, these two were still related to them by blood.

But Gu Chun is not the original owner. She has been struggling in society for many years and has seen the faces of all kinds of relatives since she was a child. She understands these people's thoughts very well.

It's simply because he thinks she is young, so he coaxes her first and gives her the warmth of family. Once he tricks her into giving him a job and money, they will fall out.

To deal with such people, you must fight poison with poison.

Gu Chun choked up and said, "Yes, grandpa and grandma, you are the closest people to us in this world."

Gu Xia and Gu Qiu were also very sad. They remembered that their parents had passed away and couldn't help but shed tears.

The old couple of the Gu family thought that the girl was coaxed, and with a smile of success on their faces, they heard Gu Chun continue:

"Grandpa and grandma, please come visit us more often in the future. And bring us some country food, as we have to spend money to buy it here.

You know, I just started working and my salary is too low, not enough to support my younger siblings.

And Xiao Zhuzi, please take a look at him. He is still so young and not in good health. He needs to take medicine all the time. Can you give him some medical expenses?"

As she said this, she handed the little bamboo to them to see, still holding him tightly in her arms.

Old Mrs. Gu took one look and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This child looked exactly like Gu Lin!

This glance reminded her of thirty years ago, when Gu Lin was also so thin and small. She felt that she would never be able to raise this child. If her mother-in-law hadn't insisted on raising the child, she would have thrown the child away long ago.

Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment before he regained his composure.

"Hey, Gu Chun, when your parents passed away, didn't they get some kind of compensation? I heard you sold your dad's job for 600? How come you don't have any money?"

Mr. Gu knew it so clearly, there must be someone inside the factory who told him. Moreover, this person also knew that his father sold his job for 600 yuan, so he must be someone Director Liu knows.

A figure suddenly appeared in Gu Chun's mind, but he didn't catch it.

"Grandpa, you don't know that I did receive a pension, but Director Liu has already certified that the money must be used as education and living expenses for our children, and I have to withdraw it myself every month.

I did earn 600 yuan from selling my dad's work, but Xiao Zhuzi was a premature baby and stayed in the hospital for a long time. I owed the hospital a large sum of medical bills, and since he still needs to continue his medical treatment, 600 yuan is not enough."

Gu Chun didn't lie when he said this. His mother and Xiao Zhuzi had been hospitalized before and owed the hospital a large sum of medical fees, but his father had paid it back later and had spent all his savings.

Wealth should not be exposed. If people knew that the couple had saved so much money, it would be too conspicuous. So Gu Lin always said that the money was owed to others and that he was in debt.

Old Master Gu looked confused. This girl probably wasn't lying. After all, they would know about this kind of thing if they went out and asked around.

When Mrs. Gu heard that the money was all spent, she immediately asked, "How much money do you have left? How can a child like you hold on to all the money? Hurry up and give it all to me. Grandma will keep it for you."

"Grandma, didn't I tell you? I'm broke. All the food at home has already cost me everything. I just started working and haven't received my salary yet. I haven't paid the children's tuition yet.

Grandpa and grandma, can you please help pay the tuition for these two children? After all, they are your grandchildren.

Gu Xia and Gu Qiu stepped forward: "Grandpa, Grandma, can you help us?"

Gu Dong also started asking, "Are you my grandparents? Why haven't I seen you before? We don't have any meat to eat at home. Can you buy some meat for us, grandparents?"

The children in the Yuhong class have grandparents, and they all say that their grandparents are very nice and will buy them delicious food, so Gu Dong thinks her grandparents will also buy them food.

Mrs. Gu looked at her children. The two older children probably looked like their mother, except for their height, which was similar to Gu Lin. At the age of ten, they were taller than her eldest grandson, who was twelve years old.

Although Gu Dong has not grown up yet, one can vaguely see the shadow of Gu Lin. Needless to say, the youngest one is simply the reincarnation of Gu Lin.

"Why would this girl want to study? She'd better start working early and save money on tuition. She can get married in two years and use it as a betrothal gift for her brother.

It's better to give this little one away. It's useless to keep it. And the one in your hand is almost a year old and still so small. I guess I can't keep it alive. Throw it away as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Gu Chun couldn't help it. What kind of feudal desire is this! He was too lazy to talk nonsense with them.

She stood up and pushed the two of them out the door. Just then, many neighbors were waiting outside to watch the fun. Gu Chun handed Xiaobao to Gu Dong and asked them to stay in the house and not come out.
