Chapter 6: Family

At any time, orphans and widows are always subject to gossip, not to mention that Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan are not widows, but divorced from their husbands. In the eyes of those traditional women, this is simply deviant.

After sending Xiaoyan to deliver food to the door again and encountering cold eyes, Gu's mother also sighed and stopped trying to build a good relationship with the neighbors around her. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, Gu's mother simply closed the door and took her daughter and granddaughter wholeheartedly to live.

Nan Nan was treated coldly in the Qin family, and she was always a little timid, for this granddaughter, not to mention how much pity Gu's mother had, she was in pain with her heart and liver every day, and Nan Nan gradually became closer to Gu's mother. It's just that she is still very unfamiliar with Gu Shuhan. Gu Shuhan could feel that Nan Nan was a little afraid of herself.

Whenever Gu Shuhan wanted to hug her, she would shrink behind Gu's mother, and then look at herself cautiously with a pair of dark eyes. When they met for the first time, Gu Shuhan discovered this problem, after all, Gu Shuhan himself is indeed not a competent mother, and the 'Gu Shuhan' who can't even protect himself naturally can't protect Nannan. However, Gu Shuhan didn't expect that the problem would be so strict.

She can see that Nan Nan is no longer an ordinary fear, she suffers from mild autism. Usually it is rare to say a few words a day, only in front of Gu's mother will be a little relaxed, but most of the time it is Gu's mother who is talking, she sits quietly in Gu's mother's arms and listens. Such a quiet and well-behaved child is simply unimaginable for a child of three or four years old.

Looking at Nannan's immature and ignorant face, Gu Shuhan felt sad for a while. She had never been a mother, and she began to try to learn how to be a qualified mother, using clumsy means, little by little, to get close to the girl in a way that would not arouse her defense.

When she came back from going out, she would always remember to bring a small gift for her, or a small snack, or a toy that children of this age loved, and every day she would set aside some time to spend with her alone, sometimes telling her a few stories, sometimes doing nothing, just holding her in her arms and touching her head comfortingly. After persisting for a long time, Nan Nan finally stopped resisting Gu Shuhan's approach. Even, when Gu Shuhan returned late, she would subconsciously look at Gu Shuhan's empty position while sitting in the hall for dinner, looking for her.

For the changes in the relationship between the mother and daughter, Gu's mother naturally felt very pleased.

Time is the best medicine for heartache, and as time goes by, the pain of the past becomes blurred in memory. Nan Nan became a little more cheerful than before, even Xiao Yan, as if she had not experienced the rubbing of the Qin family, and gradually returned to her former character of loving to talk and laugh.

Today's life is cleaner than ever, but there are some shortcomings.

Not long after noon, there was a sound of stones smashing on the gate, like a dense rain hitting the ground, crackling and disturbing people's minds.

Nan Nan was startled, and her little hand subconsciously clenched the hem of Gu's mother's clothes.

Gu's mother frowned on her beautiful forehead and sighed, "Hey, it must be those leather children who are naughty again......"

Most of the women living nearby did not wait to see Gu's mother and Gu Shuhan, and under their influence, the children naturally hated the people who lived in this door, and came to Gu's house every once in a while to make trouble, or hit the door of Gu's house with stones, or threw dead mice into the house from the wall.

Gu's mother had never told Gu Shuhan about these things. Facing her granddaughter who was trembling with fright, Gu's mother just picked her up, turned back to the back room, and covered her ears with warm hands: "Good baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

"It's too much!" Xiao Yan said indignantly: "Let me go and drive them all away!" ”

"Don't go, you're a little kid, and you've been hurt by those who are not light or serious." Gu's mother sighed: "Hey, in the end, but there are no men in our family......

She had already expected that it would be difficult to move out alone with her daughter, and she chose the path by herself, even if everything could not go well, she did not regret it. Although the ridicule, discrimination, and abuse from outside the door made her uncomfortable, it was much better than continuing to stay in Gu Mansion and be calm with Gu Zhenghong and Xu Li. The damage that people outside can do to her is limited, and the only thing that can really make her miserable is the betrayal from her family.

Now that she has even let go of Gu Zhenghong, what else can't she see?

"Let's just assume we didn't hear it. They got tired of throwing and naturally left. After speaking, Gu's mother took Nan Nan to the inner room.

Xiao Yan was still a little unhappy in her heart, and Mrs. Xindao's temper was also good. Although a few children throwing stones can't do them any real harm, it sounds really annoying! Thinking of the attitude of the parents of those children towards him when he went out to buy, the anger in Xiaoyan's heart became more and more intense, but she couldn't vent it, and held it in her heart, not to mention how sad she was.

Suddenly, the sound of smashing stones stopped, and there was an eerie silence outside the door. Xiao Yan was curious, and couldn't help but open the door, only to see a well-dressed woman standing at the door with a cold face, and her originally beautiful eyebrows and eyes were pulled out by her cold and hard momentum, but it didn't make people feel disagreeable.

When several children saw her, they were a little worried in their hearts. How could this person's expression look so much like the way their mothers were about to beat them! After taking a few steps back, he saw that the woman didn't pay attention to them, and they all ran away one by one.

Xiao Yan was dumbfounded, half loud, and her eyes were full of admiration: "Miss, you are really amazing!" ”

"How long has this been going on? Why don't you sue me? Gu Shuhan didn't have the slightest smile on his face.

Xiao Yan was half a beat slow before she realized what Gu Shuhan said: "Madam won't let me sue you, I'm afraid you will be upset if you know." Ever since we moved here, those people haven't looked down on us much. Seeing that Gu Shuhan showed no signs of anger, Xiao Yan said a few more words: "If you want me to say, this world is too unfair, it is obviously the master who did the wrong thing, why are the young lady and the lady who are blamed." ”

In Xiao Yan's chattering words, Gu Shuhan was thoughtful.

The next day, Gu Shuhan brought two guys to the door. She didn't directly ask for a woman and child theory, because it was useless, so she deliberately chose the time when the head of the family was there.

When I opened the door early in the morning, I saw Gu Shuhan's cold face, and those people were a little worried in their hearts. Most of those people are ordinary people, and Gu Shuhan's power is naturally not small, although those people can't describe what kind of confrontation with Gu Shuhan is like, but there is no doubt that it is not easy.

The meeting has been suppressed for three minutes, and the next thing will naturally be easy to do.

The newcomer had such a god in the family, and the men naturally did not want their wives and children to provoke them again. Moreover, these men are no better than their wives who don't leave home, and they know that Gu Shuhan himself also has some background, although he is not very powerful, and it is not something that those of them who are begging for a living at the bottom can provoke at will.

Gu Shuhan walked from the street to the end of the street with the momentum of negotiation, and there were many people who had provoked her, but she didn't look for them one by one, so the efficiency was too low. She just picked a few people who could speak in this area and had a good earthquake. Since then, those families have been very cautious in their treatment of the Gu family, and they dare not have the slightest disrespect, and the rest of the people naturally dare not disturb the Gu family anymore when they see this.

On this day, when Gu Shuhan returned home, he saw Gu's mother sitting on a chair with two women, talking about this affectionately. The two women were dressed in coarse cloth clothes, not as well-maintained as Gu's mother, and their faces were quite old. In front of Gu's mother, they looked very cramped, and only sat on half a chair. There was a kid in his early twenties standing next to the two of them, one looked honest and honest, no matter how long his mother and Gu's mother spoke, they just stood and listened, and the other was already a little impatient.

"Little Miss is back." When the two women saw Gu Shuhan, they hurriedly stood up and saluted Gu Shuhan: "Say hello to the little lady." ”

"Get up, get up, don't be like this, now, it's no longer fun!" Gu's mother pulled one up with one hand: "Her little child's family, you can't be like this." He also introduced to Gu Shuhan: "This is the dowry maid next to me in the past, Chun Tao and Chun Lan, although they are called master servants with me, they are actually sisters, you can call Aunt Tao and Aunt Lan." Your Aunt Tao went out before you were born, presumably you haven't seen it, your Aunt Lan married closely, and came back to serve our mother and son after going out, and then the world was chaotic, it was inconvenient to go out, and the contacts gradually decreased, when you were a child, every time your Aunt Lan came to the door, you had to pester her and let her bring you bamboo dragonflies and windmills, presumably you should have some impression of her. ”

When she met the deceased, Gu's mother was obviously extremely happy. She has never been a person of many words, but she can say so many words when she opens the conversation today, which shows that she is very happy.

Gu's mother is a person who loves to be lively, in the past, in the Gu family, as long as she was free, she often invited a handkerchief to come to the house to talk, and now she moved here, because of the rejection of their family by the people nearby, she only raised her granddaughter at home every day, and it was also suffocating.

Thinking of this, Gu Shuhan felt a little guilty in his heart. Thinking that she had succeeded in her research, her position was not low, and she had the ability to provide a better material life for her family, but the old parents at home couldn't support it, and left one after another, which made Gu Shuhan experience the pain of wanting to support her but not waiting for her relatives.

After working all his life, if this is in a peaceful and prosperous world, Gu Shuhan really wants to put aside those things for the time being and share a family relationship with Gu's mother and Nannan. It's just that she knows very well that this is in troubled times. Without enough strength to protect themselves, they could only be displaced after the arrival of the war.

In any case, first and foremost, they have to live.

Gu Shuhan called out kindly: "Aunt Tao, Aunt Lan, thank you for still thinking about your mother and me." ”

"Little Miss, what are you talking about!" The two women looked flattered: "It's our blessing to be able to come and greet the young lady and the little lady." At the beginning, I heard that the young lady and her aunt divorced, and the little young lady's in-laws had trouble again, making us anxious like something! Now that we see that Miss and Miss Xiao are still good-looking, we are relieved. ”

Gu Shuhan listened to what they said sincerely, and his face gradually softened: "It's all over." I have a reluctant request, if I am free, I also ask Aunt Tao and Aunt Lan to come and talk to my mother often. Mom was glad to see you. ”

"Hey, hey!" The two of them responded in a hurry, only to hear Chunlan say: "Speaking of which, this time, in addition to seeing if Miss and Miss Xiao are okay, I am also a little selfish." Miss and Miss Xiao have just moved over, there must be no useful people in the house, how does Miss look at my boy? If Miss thinks he is a medium-sized person, she will leave him to come down to see the door, or go out to run errands, and reward him with a mouthful of food, which is also his creation, and the boy of the Chun Tao family also means this. ”

has been a good sister with Chun Tao for many years, although they have been estranged in recent years, but if they can help, Chunlan doesn't mind helping. Seeing that Chun Tao was having a hard time, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Gu's mother thought about it, there was no man in the family, it was indeed inconvenient. If she had hired someone to guard the door in the morning, she would not have been so careless about those who looked down on her family, in fact, she had already considered hiring someone, but she didn't find a suitable person in a hurry. Originally, there were a few rooms to marry, and the two most proud ones took refuge in Gu Zhenghong, and they couldn't count on it, and a few others were in Zhuangzi, and they couldn't transfer people for a while. Although Chunlan and Chuntao's move was for the sake of their son, it also solved her urgent need.

After thinking about it, Gu's mother said: "Your character, I have always been the most trustworthy. What am I worried about about your son? On weekdays, I let Brother Wen and Brother Zhuang guard the door with me, and if Shu Han goes out to bring someone, he will follow one by Shu Han's side. On weekdays, I eat and live from home, and I give five oceans a month, how about it? ”

The cost of five oceans is not low at this time. Gu Shuhan remembered the "Life History of the Silver Dollar Era": When Chen Cunren was a trainee doctor in City B, he was only eight oceans a month, and after eating and using it, there were still five left, which shows how high the purchasing power of Dayang was at this time.

In the past, Chunlan and Chuntao's son worked in the factory, not to mention the long working hours every day, and the salary was not high, barely able to make ends meet. Now in the Gu family, just as a casual man, the salary has risen by more than half, and he is overjoyed. And the meals served in the factory are very simple, and after months of work, people have lost a lot of weight, and the two mothers are already distressed, but there is nothing they can do. Now that their son is on an errand with Gu's mother, they are also a lot more relieved, they have served Gu's mother for many years, and they know that Gu's mother is generous and will never treat their son badly in terms of food. If his son works hard at his wife's place, not to mention the others, there is absolutely food and clothing.

Chunlan was very grateful: "Thank you, Miss." "The family is in difficulty, and she is not vain to be polite to Gu's mother, and only by telling her son to be on an errand can she repay one or two. Chunlan held her son's strong hand and said, "Miss today took you in, it is Miss's kindness, you have to keep it in mind." Now that you are here, you put away the cheating and tricky thoughts of the past, and do things for the young lady, if you dare to let me know that you are not dedicated to doing errands here in the young lady, I will be the first to spare you! ”

"Mom, I know, don't worry." Gao Zhuang smiled innocently, looking quite honest.

Xu is life is not satisfactory, Chun Tao's voice is much worse than Chun Lan's, and she still said some words of gratitude, and her face still showed a little sadness. Chuntao's son Zhang Wen is a clever man: "Thank you Miss Madame for raising me, I will do a good job for Miss Madame in the future, and Miss Madame will value me in vain." Madame ordered me and Brother Ah Zhuang to come to the house for the safety of the house, but I thought that only me and Brother Ah Zhuang would inevitably take care of them. In my opinion, Madame might as well have a few dogs and take care of the home. ”

Gu Mu pondered: "What you said also has some truth. "There is always a time when these two of them want to go out, and it would be better if there were large dogs guarding around the house.

"If Madame doesn't think I'm stupid, how about leaving this matter to me? I've taken care of a lot of dogs for homeowners in the past, and I have some experience in raising dogs. ”

Gu Mu nodded: "Since you have this idea and this ability, you don't have to do anything." ”

She also saw that Zhang Wen was more clever than Gao Zhuang, but what his character was and whether he was worthy of the important task had to be observed again.

Gu's mother looked at Zhang Wenshi's exploration, and Chunlan saw it. Regarding the fact that his son was compared, it is impossible to say that he didn't think about it at all.

However, in the end, it is the son of his sister, and Chun Tao man can't count on it, so he can count on such a son, Chunlan suppressed the sourness in her heart.
