The little light that had just lit up in Gu Zhenghong's eyes all dissipated, and then there was a heart-rending cough and wheezing in his ears.

The old man was lying on the bed, his face full of ashes.

"Sir, please don't get excited, relax, relax." The doctors brought by Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan followed their professional ethics and came to Gu Zhenghong's side, constantly persuading him and helping him alleviate the pain on his body.

"No matter what, your body is your own, so treat it well."

Gu's mother's expression was still indifferent, but there was a hint of shallow care in her words. This care, which is the same as the care of doctors, is out of humanitarian care, and nothing else.

Gu Zhenghong knew Gu's mother best, and seeing that Gu's mother deliberately kept a distance from him, among them, at some point, it was like a barrier that couldn't be crossed, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Nishiki... Jin Xuan, cough cough, I'll ......" Gu Zhenghong stretched out his hand towards Gu's mother, but Gu's mother turned her head to the other side: "You can treat your illness with peace of mind, I have already paid the medical expenses." When you're better, I'll come back to see you. With that, he wanted to leave with Gu Shuhan.

She didn't know that what Gu Zhenghong needed most at this moment was not the sympathy and care from a stranger, but the comfort and encouragement from relatives, and the support and help from his wife and daughter. However, she and Shu Han couldn't afford to give what he wanted, and they didn't want to give it. After the love was worn out again and again, there was only so much left for them to give Gu Zhenghong. They wouldn't watch him die, that's all.

Is Gu Zhenghong pitiful? Of course pitiful, it's just that they see how pitiful he is now, has he ever seen their helplessness at the beginning? Could it be that because Gu Zhenghong is pitiful, they should forgive him for what he did, return to his side, accept him, and take care of him? Gu's mother thought she couldn't do it.

Besides, how much of his own fault is for his own sake?

"You... There is none... No... Ahem, no... Want to talk to... With me... said......" Gu Zhenghong squeezed these words out of his throat with difficulty, and seemed to be extremely sad, which made people unbearable to hear it.

Gu's mother paused: "What should be said, I have already told you everything just now, so let's do it myself, Mr. Gu." ”

The weather in City B has gradually cooled down, and the streets of City B are much more depressed than in the past, just like the sudden drop in temperature.

Fearing the impact of the war, every family closed their doors firmly. In the past, you could still see pedestrians coming and going, newsboys and merchants and hawkers along the streets, but now, they are deserted, with only a few sparse figures. In addition, the most common is the police force in charge of maintaining law and order in the city.

From the "Magpie", information has been transmitted back from Han Jiang and Zhang Xunchong. Although all the three "magpies" produced by Gu's factory have been sold to City B, it still needs to rely on signal receivers to receive information, and the operation of signal receivers is completed by the commissioners sent by Gu's to assist City B. Therefore, although he didn't know the specific information sent back from the north and northwest, once they had a movement, Gu Shuhan would still be able to know a thing or two.

Gu Shuhan looked at the gray sky and remembered that the last time she saw Bai Yu, Bai Yu said to her: "We don't have much time left." She couldn't help frowning, at that time, she had already sensed something from Bai Yu's unusual look.

She knew that the city government of B would not act rashly, and this big move must be prepared. However, after not hearing from Bai Yu for so long, she was a little worried about that person's safety. remembered that when her daughter occasionally asked about Bai Yu, she answered her words, and while she was worried, Gu Shuhan felt a little irritable in her heart. The self-control she prides herself on seems to have a tendency to get out of control. She even felt that she was starting to feel a little less like herself.

Driving these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, Gu Shuhan worked hard to focus his mind on work. This is the time when things are most likely to go wrong, and you can't take it lightly.

I usually can't see it, but at this time, the role of the factory owners personally selected by Gu Shuhan has come into play. The owners of the major factories not only have a certain degree of professionalism, but also most of them are very capable, with them in the town, the huge Gu factory, there is no chaos, which makes Gu Shuhan quite pleased.

On the contrary to Gu's factory, Gu Zhenghong's shops, factories that were already sluggish and in decline, survived the crisis some time ago, but they couldn't survive this test, except for the grain stores, the rest all closed down.

But even the only remaining grain stores have fallen into the brink of bankruptcy because they have not been able to harvest grain in the near future, and they can only enter and exit. If there is working capital, it may be able to last for a while, but the grain shop already owes a good amount of money on the books, and all the money and property taken by the Gu government for relief were taken away by Xu Liping, and for a while, Wang Xiaofu was really at a loss.

The bank was reluctant to lend to them, and the Gu family's family friends were now discolored by Gu Zhenghong's name, and none of them were willing to help. It stands to reason that these things should have been told to Gu Zhenghong, and he should have made the decision, but Gu Zhenghong has now suffered a stroke and needs to recuperate, and the doctor has also said that he can't let his love go up and down anymore, where does Wang Xiaofu dare to tell him about these things?

In the end, Wang Xiaofu had to find Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan again.

"Please go back, I can't do anything about this matter." Gu Mu said hard to Wang Xiaofu in a rare way.

Last time, Gu Zhenghong was sick, sick and dying, and she didn't want to be uneasy in her heart, so she took care of the matter. But this does not mean that next, she will help Gu Zhenghong manage his business, his shop, and the mess he left behind.

As she said, she has nothing to do with Gu Zhenghong anymore, and she will not be generous to her daughter to help Gu Zhenghong, because he is not worthy.

"Madam, please help the master again, the master can't stand it at all now, if he learns about this, his condition will definitely deteriorate. Besides, the family has no money left now, so they are counting on that shop. Madam, no matter what the lord says, he has also had a relationship with you as a husband and wife, do you want to see death in front of you? ”

"Without that shop, wouldn't he be able to live?" Gu's mother sneered when she heard this: "If he really can't survive, he can sell his land and move out of that big house." Although life will be harder, you can always get by. ”

Wang Xiaofu looked at her in astonishment, and said half-loudly: "That's the field and mansion handed down by the old ancestor, how can it be ......?"

"Life is going to be unbearable, what do you want to do with the family's false name, do you keep it for food?" Gu Mu glanced at Wang Xiaofu coldly: "You get up." I won't care about it. Gu Zhenghong is so sick that he is dying, and he has no money to hire a doctor, I can help him get it, but I won't support him for the rest of his life. If he's starving to death, let him figure it out for himself. ”

Wang Xiaofu looked at Gu's mother in a daze for a long time, as if he didn't know her, and after a while, he said bitterly: "Madam, you have never been like this before......"

"Gu Zhenghong used to be my husband, but now he and I are strangers. I am willing to help him, that is my affection, I am not willing to help him, and it is a matter of course. Now, no one is as important to me as my daughter Shu Han. You want me to embarrass Shu Han in order to clean up the mess for Gu Zhenghong, but you can't do it! ”

"How can it be embarrassing, obviously ......" Obviously, with Gu Shuhan's ability and the current status of Gu's factory, as long as Gu Shuhan moved his little finger slightly, this matter could be solved.

"You just want Shu Han to help Gu Zhenghong clean up the mess, have you ever thought that Shu Han is only twenty years old. Yes, she took on a responsibility that didn't belong to her early on, and you take it for granted. You don't feel distressed, I feel distressed! ”

On weekdays, Gu's mother always manages the house in an orderly manner, so that Gu Shuhan has no worries. She herself was still unwilling to cause a little trouble to Gu Shuhan, how could she allow others to do this?

"You open your mouth Gu Zhenghong, shut up Gu Zhenghong, Gu Zhenghong is such a big person, do you still want my daughter to take care of him every day? Have you ever thought about Shu Han? ”

“…… Miss, too, the master's daughter. ”

"Yes, Shu Han is Gu Zhenghong's daughter after all, but Gu Zhenghong saw that she was bullied by her in-laws, but did she ever support her? When you helped others spread rumors about her, did you ever relent? When these two items were spoken, Gu's mother was especially hateful in her heart.

Gu Shuhan was wronged in the Qin family, Gu Zhenghong knew this, but he didn't think so, and chose to whitewash the peace, which Gu's mother only learned later. How much she feels sorry for her daughter, how much she resents Gu Zhenghong.

"Well, the past is gone, and I don't want to say any more. You go, don't come again. Remember, Shu Han and I don't owe Gu Zhenghong anything. ”

Gao Zhuang saw that Wang Xiaofu was deaf to Gu's mother's words, and the wood-like pestle was in front of the door, he was immediately unhappy, and pushed Wang Xiaofu out vigorously: "Let's go, let's go, I'm upset when I see you!" ”

When the door was about to be closed, Gao Zhuang saw Gu Shuhan standing outside the door with sharp eyes, and hurriedly stopped closing the door: "Miss, you're back, why don't you come in?" ”

Gu Shuhan was silent. If she hadn't stood outside the door, she would not have been able to hear Gu's mother's inner words, and she would not have thought that Gu's mother had always been burdened with such a heavy burden in her heart.

"Mom, I'm fine. Gu Zhenghong's indifference, for me, has long been unable to cause any harm. I've come out of his shadows, and you've come out of it too, okay? ”

Gu's mother hugged Gu Shuhan and cried: "Mom thinks, Mom is too useless, and nothing can help you." ”

"Why, you help me take care of my family at home, keep the house in order, why didn't you help me? Isn't it the result of your hard work that I've been able to keep feeling good all the time? ”

"As for what I do now, it's something I love to do, and although it keeps me busy, my life is also fulfilling. It made me feel that I was worthwhile. My value is far more than the definition given to me by Gu Zhenghong, Qin Zhihong and the back house. So, Mom, don't have a psychological burden for this. ”

"Mom knows, Mom can see that you are very happy now, much happier than before. However, when my mother saw you staying up late and working overtime, I still ...... in my heart."

"I know." Gu Shuhan gently hugged his mother.

The mother and daughter are warm and affectionate.
