Li Dahai’s expression changed when he heard that!
The third daughter-in-law in the Li household was called Nie Jiao. When she saw Li Dahai’s expression, she knew she had struck a chord, so she continued. “Dahai, think of how Gu Yunshuang treated you in the past. She took care of everything, was filial to the old folks in your family, waited on you and took care of you. She must certainly have feelings for you to do so. So! If you understand that Gu Yunshuang cares for you, and coax her, she will come back immediately.
“It’s so hard for a divorcée to raise a child! I’ve heard that there are so many sons in the Gu family, and numerous grandsons. Yunshuang will definitely suffer after returning with her child. She will certainly have to work hard for that large household. How pitiful!
“Once a woman is married, her in-law’s home is her real home. Now that she is in someone else’s home, she will certainly have to put up with their criticism. Go and talk to her. I guarantee that as long as our Li family still wants her, she will come back immediately.
“Mother still can’t get out of bed and needs someone to take care of her. I can’t manage by myself!”
Li Dahai looked at his aged mother who was still ill in bed. He thought of the things that had happened recently and it was true that they needed Gu Yunshuang. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go and talk to Yunshuang.”
Third Uncle’s family left first. They stayed the closest but had the shortest leave, so they had to go back first.
The two children were rather reluctant.
They had eaten well during their time at home, much better than they had while living in the city. Grandfather told them many interesting stories every night, and Elder Sister had taught them so many things. They thought she was amazing!
They wanted to stay here. They did not want to leave!
But Zhou Ping was adamant.
Over the past few days, she had discerned her husband and eldest son’s attitude. If the two children remained here, they would send all their money and resources back.
How much of it would go to the two children?
Wouldn’t the things they sent just be absorbed by the others?
“Mother, we don’t want to leave. I want to stay here!”
“I don’t want to leave either. I want to listen to Grandfather’s stories.”
Zhou Ping looked at the two children in annoyance. “Your grandparents are old and cannot take care of you. Hurry up and come with us.”
The two children looked miserable. “We don’t need Grandfather and Grandma to take care of us. We can work. When Grandfather goes to the fields to earn work points, we can go with him and support ourselves.”
Zhou Ping’s expression darkened.
Go to the fields to earn work points?
If you go to the fields to earn work points, won’t the food we send back be wasted?
But their words amused Gu Yundong and Gu Jinlin.
“Hahaha, good. My sons are so driven. They know how to support themselves even though they are so young!”
Gu Yundong laughed proudly!
Gu Jinlin was so amused by these children that he could not stop laughing. “It’s good that you want to support yourselves. Looks like you’ve really grown up! But if Father, Mother and Elder Brother all leave, won’t you miss us?”
The two children exchanged glances. Of course, they would miss them!
They had never been away from their parents before.
At last, the two children left with the adults at Zhou Ping’s insistence. But they left reluctantly.
Once Third Uncle’s family left, Eldest Uncle’s family quickly followed!
They knew that this time, they would be gone for a long time. So they had specially applied for a long period of leave to be with their family. Eldest Uncle and Aunt could not help worrying about their two young children.
Eldest Aunt Fang Ling, sighed every time she looked at Eldest Cousin Gu Jinye!
