Chapter 5 Watching from the sidelines

Gu Chengnan looked at Aunt San awkwardly, saw Wan sitting expressionlessly, and then looked at her grandfather.

Gu Huaidong seemed to have not heard Wang's words, stopped with his chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Eat."

Gu Chengnan glared at Wang Xiu'e and said in a deep voice: "Even eating can't block your mouth."

Wang Xiu'e turned her head and glared back, and said with a stern face: "Why are you yelling? What's wrong with me? Well? It's obvious that my grandfather is biased. I'm just saying everyone's dissatisfaction."

Wan said to Gu Huaidong: "Dad, why don't you catch the medicine?"

Gu Huayu turned his head and looked at Ah Niang. Seeing Ah Niang talking apologetically, she felt sad.

The root of my mother's illness was caused by her father when she accompanied her father to Beijing for the exam many years ago. My father was unwilling to talk about the past, and only my grandfather knew about her mother's illness.

"Doctor Hu said that Xiaofeng's medicine cannot be stopped." Gu Dechang's voice sounded from the door.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the door, and saw Gu Dechang standing outside the door with a calm face, followed by Gu Chengzi, Gu Chengtong, Gu Chenggui, and Gu Chengliang.

A few young people first greeted Gu Huaidong, and then greeted Gu Defang, Gu Dehai, Qin and Fang.

Gu Huaidong nodded, "I'm off school, put down my schoolbag, wash my hands and have a meal."

The children turned around and put their schoolbags.

When Wang saw Gu Dechang come back, he lowered his head to eat, but did not dare to say more.

Everyone lowered their heads to eat, and for a moment, they could only hear the collision of chopsticks and bowls in the room.

After a while, Gu Defang was the first to put the bowl.

Gu Huaidong glanced at Gu Defang who was about to get up and said, "Do not be anxious first, the whole family is here. I have a few words to say. Those who have a good meal will go to the main hall first, wait for everyone."

After hearing Gu Huaidong's words, everyone nodded and said yes.

Gu Chengnan glared at Wang Xiu'e with a serious face.

Wang Xiu'e ignored Gu Chengnan's dissatisfaction and was secretly happy. The old man finally stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb.

She had been holding it in for a long time today and wanted to vomit it out.

Gu Defang's eyes were full of worries, "Dad..."

Gu Huaidong stood up with the table in his hand and said lightly: "It's better to say it, it's better than holding it in your heart and sulking."

After hearing his grandfather's words, Gu Chengnan's face became hot and he stood up to help Gu Huaidong.

Gu Huaidong looked at Gu Chengnan with a slight sigh, letting Gu Chengnan help him to the main hall.

Gu Huayu watched coldly and saw everything in his eyes. In that life, the scene in front of him never appeared.

She remembered that at lunch that day, her family went home without seeing her mother, and they went out to search.

When they found Ah Niang, Ah Niang had already gone. Everyone carried her back and were busy with the funeral.

After that, she was immersed in the grief of losing her mother and was flawlessly concerned about the thoughts of others.

Therefore, she didn't know that Wang had deep resentment towards the three houses.

After being a human being for three lifetimes, Gu Huayu felt that Wang's behavior was human nature, and she did not blame Wang.

To be fair, the three rooms really drag down everyone.

Seeing Gu Huayu being stunned, Gu Chengjuan whispered: "Xiaoyu, let's not care about your affairs, hurry up and have a meal."

Gu Huayu glanced at Gu Chengjuan and nodded, "Thank you, second sister, I can save it."

After saying that, Gu Huayu lowered his head and finished the rice in the bowl, put down the chopsticks and said, "Have you eaten for the second sister? Let's go to the main hall as well."

Wan Shi didn't want her daughter to get involved, so she said before Gu Chengjuan said, "Is Xiaoyu ready to eat? After she finishes eating, she goes back to her room to rest."

Wang Xiu'e picked up a chopstick and put the potato shreds in her mouth, looked at Wan and said, "What are you going to take a break? Xiaoyu is not young anymore. Aunt San asked her to go and listen."

Gu Huayu saw Wan looking at Wang with a calm face, and was about to speak, so he hurriedly pulled Wan's sleeve and said, "My grandma, my second sister-in-law is right, I'll go and listen."

Wan turned to look at Gu Huayu and said with a gentle voice: "You little kid, don't mix with these things. Be obedient and go to the house to rest. Everything will be with your father and mother."

Gu Huayu leaned his head on Wan's shoulder and said softly: "My grandma, my daughter always needs to grow up, and she always has to face everything wrong when she grows up, right?"

Wan's body stiffened, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoyu, go and listen too."

Gu Huayu smiled and bowed to Wan, "Thank you, my mother! My daughter is here first."

After saying that, Gu Huayu stood up, bowed to Qin and Fang, and went to the main hall with Gu Chengjuan.

Qin looked at Gu Huayu who was leaving and said, "Why do I feel that Xiaoyu has changed?"

Fang turned his head and looked at Gu Huayu who was leaving, nodded affirmatively and said, "Xiaoyu has become talkative today, and her voice has become much louder."

Wan's hand paused for a moment when he was holding the bowl, looked up at his daughter, and his daughter had really changed.

Gu Huayu listened to the conversation between Qin and Fang, and turned to smile at Qin Fang.

When Gu Huaidong saw Gu Dechang coming, he pointed to the seat beside Gu Defang and signaled him to sit down.

Then he looked up at Gu Chengjuan, "Chengjuan, go and ask your third aunt to come and sit down first, and wait for the kitchen to clean up later."

Gu Chengjuan had to get up and go to the kitchen.

After a while, Wan came to the main hall while rubbing his hands on his apron.

Gu Huaidong saw everyone, cleared his throat and said, "Except for the fourth brother, everyone is here. You might as well say anything if you have any ideas."

As soon as Gu Huaidong finished speaking, Gu Chengnan took over the words, "Grandfather..."

Seeing Gu Chengnan speaking first, Wang thought to himself that it was not good, and the devil was going to get along with the dick again.

So Wang quickly stood up and interrupted Gu Chengnan, "As the grandfather, we don't ask you to always be fair in everything. But please don't be too biased. Only when you treat the water well will everyone feel comfortable. Everyone says right?"

After Wang finished speaking, she leaned over to look at everyone. Her eyes fell on Guan first. Guan lowered her head and clenched the mud in her nails, but did not look up at her.

Wang secretly cursed Guan in his heart that he had a hypocritical style on his face!

"Mrs. Wang..." Gu Chengnan turned his head and stared at Mr. Wang.

Wang raised his chin and interrupted Gu Chengnan. "What's wrong with me? Hum? What I'm not telling the truth?

Our family is working hard to help the third uncle in the scientific examination. What results will be obtained? How much does it cost to get medicine for the third bedroom every year?

Also, Xiaoyu, eldest sister, and Cheng Juan are both girls. The eldest sister, Cheng Juan has been doing things since she was a child, but Xiaoyu is raised like a lady from a wealthy family. She doesn’t do anything and doesn’t say anything. She also learns calligraphy and studies. How much unfair money does she spend on her pen and ink every month?”

There was silence in the main hall.

Gu Huayu looked at Wang with a smile.

Wang's words were fine. After telling the truth, Gu Hua's words were so much more admiring to her.

Gu Chengjuan looked at Gu Huayu awkwardly and said to Wang: "Xiaoyu is not unwilling to do things, Xiaoyu has been weak since childhood..."

Wang glared at Gu Chengjuan in anger and cursed in a low voice, "A fool who can't understand the words." Then he sang: "I'm weak? Xiaoyu is one year younger than you, right? Is she half a head taller than you? Am I blind?"
