Chapter 165: Catching Stolen Goods
"What to do, what to do, what did she steal, what did she take from us." Bai stomped his feet angrily, and he couldn't wait to rush out immediately and tear Gu's face directly to the Wu family.
"Don't worry, sister." Bai Shao grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "I can't get out of my grandmother now, no matter what I take, I can always find it, and now the key is to let my mother know ......"
Thinking of Wu's pity for the Gu family, but in exchange for this kind of treatment, Bai Shao and Bai Wei couldn't help but feel sorry for the Wu family.
But, no matter what, what needs to be said is always what needs to be said.
That night, after selling out the things that are the food, Zhao Long and Bai Chuanbai went to the door panel of the shop, and when the family gathered around to prepare for dinner, Bai Shao mentioned today's things a little hesitantly.
"Mother, I seem to have seen my grandmother enter our house today." Bai Shao said a little tactfully.
"Ah, is your grandma bored and wants to talk to you?" While scooping the rice, Wu said disappretently, "It's also possible that I'm hungry and want to go to your house to find something to eat, speaking of which, I'll have to bring her some food later, I haven't eaten at noon, and if I don't eat at night, I'll be hungry." ”
"Mother...... My sister and I lost something. Seeing that Wu didn't understand, Bai Shao accentuated his tone a little, "It's quite an important thing." ”
"Ah, what's missing?" Wu was stunned for a moment, but it can be regarded as linking Bai Shao's words before and after, and his face suddenly turned a little pale, "Shao'er, isn't it, lost money?" ”
"Well, mother, the big money box is fine because the key was hidden by me, but the small money box is the copper money and broken silver that I have earned for the past few days, because I didn't have time to exchange it for silver or silver tickets for big ingots, I didn't put it in the big money box, and it was all gone." Bai Shao said a little aggrieved.
With a "snap", the spoon in Wu's hand fell on the dining table, she looked at Bai Shao a little palely, then looked at the direction of Gu's house, pursed her lips, and said a little confused, "It should be...... It shouldn't have been your grandmother's doing. ”
In a word, the sentence was broken before and after, and an uncertain "bar" was added at the end, which shows that Wu also believed in the little girl in his heart.
"Mother, I don't think so, after all, my grandmother's hand is injured and I've been lying on the bed." Bai Wei rolled his eyes, and he actually excused Gu on the side.
"Yes, yes, your grandmother's hands are hurt, how can you steal things." Wu smiled with a pale face, "Yes, you must have misremembered, Shao'er, see if you misplaced...... Your grandmother's hands are hurt......"
"Maybe." Bai Shao lowered her head and began to eat silently.
The smile on Wu's face froze, in fact, even she thought of Gu's body for the first time after learning that the money was lost, and everything after that was just her powerless desire to excuse Gu's.
Actually, just look at it if you haven't stolen it.
Why is it that he is pale and weak here, and finally wronged the little girl.
If Gu really did such a thing......
Then, it can be regarded as the end of the relationship between their mother and daughter.
Thinking about it like this, the Wu family was a little desolate, and finally some strength finally surged in his heart, and it happened that Bai Chuanbai also gently held her hand at this time, and the husband and wife glanced at each other, stood up at the same time, and called the three children, and went to the Gu family's house.
At that time, Gu was lying on the bed, with his eyes open, looking at the thick beams on the roof, thinking about the dilapidated courtyard of the Wu family, and finally let out a long sigh.
If she could, in fact, she also wanted to hide from her daughter all the time and not go back, and be a happy old lady with peace of mind.
However, she couldn't let go of the three old men of the Wu family.
Sometimes, sons and husbands are the pillars, and daughters ...... The girl is a member of the Bai family, she can't be trusted, so it's more reliable to follow her son and husband.
Thinking so, Gu touched the hard bag under the pillow and smiled all over his face.
Just at this time, Wu knocked on the door and walked in.
Gu Shi was in a very good mood today, and his tone was also very pleasant, "Xiaohui, did you bring me food, I happened to be very hungry, you hurry up and help me up, I want to eat." ”
"Hey, mother." Wu Shi answered in a low voice, stepped forward to light the kerosene lamp, and then helped Gu Shi to sit up, and rolled the quilt into a tube and put it behind her.
"Where's the rice?" Gu Shi glanced at Wu's hand twice, and after finding that there was nothing, his face suddenly became a little unsightly, "Why didn't you bring me food?" ”
"Mother, let's eat later, I have some questions I want to ask you......" Wu pursed his lips, and he hadn't thought about how to ask Gu yet.
Gu Shi on the side sighed for a long time, "You don't give me a good meal for this last meal, I'm hungry if I haven't eaten at noon, Xiaohui, you used to be close to your mother's heart, why don't you know I'm hungry now." ”
"The last meal?" Wu frowned and asked in a low voice, "Mother, are you going back tomorrow?" ”
"Yes, I have to go home, I've been staying with you for ten days, I should go, tonight is the last meal, I'm hungry Xiaohui, you can't help but give me food." Gu said loudly.
"Grandma, you stay for two more days, it's only ten days, what are you going to do?" Bai Wei stuck his head out from behind Wu and said with a smile.
"Hey, Wei'er, there are still your two uncles to take care of at home, and your grandfather is not in good health, I have to go back, and I will come to see you when I have time in the future." Gu Shi saw that it was Bai Wei, and finally squeezed out a little smile on his face.
Bai Wei pursed his lips and said with some disdain, "One of them is tall and big, where do they need grandma's care, grandma should stay here for two more days, I won't let grandma go back." ”
"That's not going to work...... Gu Shi panicked when he heard that he wouldn't let himself go back, "I don't care, you have to send me home tomorrow, it's ten days...... I've had to go back in ten days. ”
"What ten days, grandma." Bai Shao saw her panic and asked quietly.
"Whatever." Gu Shi saw that it was Bai Shao who was asking, and his tone was much more polite, "I'll talk to me Wei'er, don't interject." ”
Bai Shao quickly lowered his head, closed his mouth, and then glanced at Wu Shi, who had a very bad face, with his spare eyes.
"Mother, how can you say that about Shao'er." The Wu family, who had been unable to question the Gu family just now, finally hardened his heart in annoyance after seeing the Gu family reprimanding Bai Shao, "Mother, why do you have to go back in ten days, do you need to go back to explain to your father something?" ”
"Nothing." When Gu heard Wu's question, he "chuckled" in his heart, obviously his face had changed, but he still pretended to be calm, "I just think I've lived with you for a long time...... I have to go back to take care of your father, and your brother, those are rough old men, and their two daughters-in-law are rough, and I don't worry about taking care of them......"
"Really?" Wu's lips trembled, and he looked at Gu fixedly.
After Wu's careful care these days, Gu's appearance is much better than before, he finally has some flesh on his body, his cheeks are slightly plump, even his lips are bloody, and he is even more energetic for several years, and his voice is louder than before.
is such a careful mother, who doesn't remember her good, and her heart and mind are all about her husband and son who are not good to her.
For a moment, Wu suddenly questioned himself, why he was so good to Gu.
It's not that she doesn't know her character, she has always valued her son and husband over the sky, but every time she sees her miserable appearance, Wu can't help but feel sad, feel sorry for her, and want to be nice to her.
He had secretly given money to the Gu family before, but the Gu family gave it to Old Man Wu.
Now that the Wu family is smart, he doesn't give Gu money anymore, but gives her good food and drink, and only gives her the amount of one person, so that she can't stay.
As a result, she didn't expect that she would steal her family's money, and she used so much heart......
When he saw Gu Shi say in such a relaxed tone that he was going home tomorrow, Wu's heart was almost torn.
"Xiaohui, knowing that you are doing well, I am relieved, now I want to go back and see if your father is doing well these days......" Gu was still chattering on the side.
Wu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said categorically, "Okay, I'll send you back." ”
When Gu Shi heard this, he immediately smiled.
It's just that the corners of his mouth haven't been curled too much, and he heard Wu Shi say in a low voice on the side, "Mother, I can send you back, but you have to stay with the things that belong to the Bai family." ”
For a moment, Gu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth. for a better user experience.
