Xia Youzhi nodded.

Yes, she was wondering.

After all, in his previous life, he had never seen the appearance of Deputy Director Liao, let alone make Gu Tingshen's mood fluctuate so much.

Deputy Director Liao rubbed his hands again, his eyes looked to the side, his eyes were full of hesitation.

Xia Youzhi didn't urge, just waited quietly.

Deputy Director Liao was full of struggles.

But for some reason, he felt that the girl in front of him would be the one who broke the ice in their relationship.

Deputy Director Liao glanced at Xia Youyi and sighed faintly.

"His mother is also surnamed Liao."

"What?"

Xia Youzhi was very surprised.

Don't......

"Are you Uncle Gu's uncle?"

Deputy Director Liao nodded, with a serious expression.

Xia Youzhi was silent.

After a while, her eyes were full of seriousness, "It is rumored in the village that Uncle Gu's mother ran away with someone. ”

"It's nonsense."

Deputy Director Liao stood up excitedly, and a lot of water splashed from the cup in his hand.

Xia Youzhi was puzzled.

The anger on Deputy Director Liao's face doesn't look like a fake.

But it is indeed rumored in the village that Gu Tingshen's mother ran away with someone and owed a lot of debt to other men outside.

When Gu Tingshen was young, the Gu family had been being asked for debts, but no one could say what the specific situation was.

But there is one fact that cannot be changed, Gu Tingshen has not had a mother since he was a child!

Deputy Director Liao knew that he was excited, he glanced at Xia Youzhi slightly apologetically, and then sat down and lowered his head to hide his face.

Xia Youzhi didn't open his mouth to refute.

After all, these old things can't be said clearly.

After a long time, Deputy Director Liao raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his vicissitudes flashed with sourness.

"My sister is a gentle and virtuous woman, and she would never do such a thing."

"Well, it's all rumors from the countryside, I don't know if it's true or not, but Uncle Gu has indeed suffered a lot of sins since he was a child." Xia Youzhi said lightly.

Xia Youzhi was noncommittal about Deputy Director Liao's remarks.

If she is really a gentle and virtuous woman, how can she be willing to let her children suffer?

A child has no mother in the village, and he is forced to go into debt all day long.

One can imagine how hard his life was.

Hearing Xia Youzhi's words, Deputy Director Liao felt even more guilty.

"She's in trouble." Deputy Director Liao said sadly, "She is a good mother. ”

Xia Youzhi didn't refute, "Does Uncle Gu know that you are his uncle?" ”

"He knows." Deputy Director Liao nodded.

Xia Youzhi was even more puzzled.

It can be seen that Deputy Director Liao should be from a big family, so in this case, how could Gu Tingshen's childhood be so miserable?

"I came to Mashan Town more than ten years ago, at that time Tingshen's temperament has been cultivated, and his anger is also heavy, I found him and wanted to recognize him, but he didn't believe me, let me ...... Get lost. ”

Speaking of the past, Deputy Director Liao was painful and helpless.

"So you just gave up?"

Deputy Director Liao shook his head, "I didn't give up, but you should also know his character, he is very stubborn." I went to his house, and he threw out all the things he was carrying, and I didn't even have a chance to explain.

Later, I came to the door several times and wanted to find his father to make it clear, but I didn't expect to be found by him, alas.

I really didn't expect this to force him to leave Niujiao Village, so I didn't dare to disturb him anymore for more than ten years. ”

Thinking of Gu Tingshen's rebellious and rebellious appearance when he was a teenager, Deputy Factory Director Liao smiled bitterly.

"Later, Uncle Gu went to Haizhou City, right?"

She remembers him working on construction sites as a teenager.

Deputy Director Liao nodded.

He also found out later, he went to the construction site in Haizhou City, but he didn't dare to disturb him anymore.

More than ten years have passed, and he has been rooted in Mashan Town, just to see him occasionally.

"I know he's having a hard time and I want to help him, but this kid doesn't want to contact me. Over the years, I have tried all kinds of methods, but to no avail. Deputy Director Liao sighed.

He used to secretly leave something at his doorstep and be thrown away by him.

Stuffed the money into the house, and he also gave it to the old people in the village.

The only thing I could do was probably to help him solve the debt.

"What was the situation back then? Why did Gu Tingshen's mother leave him? ”

Xia Youzhi finally asked this question.

"Sister A, she has never left Tingshen, the name Gu Tingshen is still given by Sister A, just hoping that he can become a calm and profound person." Deputy Director Liao smiled bitterly.

Xia Yu choked.

Calm and deep?

It is estimated that Gu Tingshen is going to disappoint her.

"Our Liao family's roots are in Dong'an Province, and several generations have been in the education system, and it can barely be called a scholarly family.

My sister, that is, Tingshen's mother is the second oldest in the family, she is a very enthusiastic and kind person, and she is also the first batch of educated youths who responded to the national number to go to the countryside.

At that time, for some reason, our family suffered a catastrophe, and the whole family was defeated. That's why the second sister was assigned to Haizhou City, which is so far away from Dong'an Province. ”

Recalling the past, Deputy Director Liao sighed.

At that time, Haizhou City could really be said to be a poor and remote country.

Xia Youzhi listened quietly and did not interject.

Dong'an Province is next to Kyoto, several provinces away from Haizhou City, and it is impossible to assign it here.

It seems that after some things happened to the Liao family at that time, they were indeed greatly injured.

"After my sister arrived in Niujiao Village, she quickly met Tingshen's father. But she hid it very tightly, and it wasn't until she was about to marry Tingshen and his father that she wrote home and said about it. ”

Director Liao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "After my father found out, he was furious, he was still old-fashioned, and he felt that the door was not right, and Tingshen's father was not worthy of his most beloved daughter." ”

His sister has been excellent since she was a child, and she married a clay leg from the countryside, to be honest, he couldn't accept it at the time.

Thinking of this, Deputy Director Liao was full of remorse.

"My sister looks weak, but her personality is very stubborn, even if my father obstructed her in every way, and even my mother ran directly to the countryside, she couldn't make her change her mind.

She followed Tingshen and his father so decisively, and later learned that my sister still got a certificate with Tingshen's father, and my father cut off the relationship with my sister in a fit of anger, and made everyone in the family unable to contact her.

I was secretly in contact with my sister at the time, and when my father found out, I lost contact with her. ”

At that time, he liked this second sister who was about the same age as him the most, so the two sisters and brothers still secretly exchanged letters.

Until one day, he was discovered by his father......

He couldn't contact Sister anymore.

No matter how many letters I had, Sister Ah never replied to them.

Later, he also learned that it was his father who wrote a letter to his second sister, and if he dared to contact him again, he would also be kicked out of the family.

"And then?"

Xia Youzhi's eyes trembled slightly.

This is really a woman who is crazy about love.

She admired her courage, but could not approve of her disconnection with her family for the sake of a man.

"When I saw Sister Ah again, it was several years later. At that time, Tingshen was already five years old, and Sister A appeared at the gate of my factory with Tingshen, who was still young at that time, and probably didn't remember it. ”

A hint of nostalgia flashed in the eyes of Deputy Director Liao.

It was the last time he saw his favorite sister after many years, but it was also the last time they saw each other.

"Later, I learned that my sister was already ...... at that time He is terminally ill. ”

"Terminally ill?"

Xia Young was shocked.

Deputy Director Liao nodded, "My sister has a sensitive personality, although she didn't contact her family in those years, she always had us in her heart."

She is also bitter in her heart, on one side is her family, on the other hand is Tingshen's father, she is depressed in the middle.

When I met her, she was terminally ill. ”

"Uncle Gu, do they know?"

Deputy Director Liao shook his head, "My sister won't let me tell anyone, and she will be cut off when she says it...... Tingshen his father's thoughts made him hate her, and he may be happy in the future...... Maybe I can marry one, and Ting Shen can also have a mother at that time. ”

Xia Youzhi listened to these choked words and didn't know how to answer for a while.

His ex-mother-in-law, who had no chance, must not have known that he did not marry again until Grandpa Gu died.

And no matter how successful Gu Tingshen is, he has lived in gossip all his life.

"When Uncle Gu's mother left him, she went back to Liao's house, right?"

Deputy Director Liao nodded, "Sister A's last time was spent in Liao's house, and we found the best doctor for her, but ...... There's no way around it anymore. ”

Later, he didn't want his second sister to suffer in her last days, so he took her home.

"That's good, at least she'll be happy in her last days."

Xia Youzhi sighed.

Deputy Director Liao lowered his head silently.

His father was stubborn, and in the end he didn't want to see the second sister again, how sorry the second sister should have been at that time.

This is also the reason why he resolutely left home later.

He couldn't forgive his father.

After all, if they hadn't stopped Sister Ah back then and let her pursue her happiness, maybe she wouldn't have been depressed and became terminally ill.

Or, if his father can release his suspicions in the last days of his sister, then everyone will not have so many regrets.

……

When Xia Youzhi walked out of the hardware factory, the uncle of the security booth was still enthusiastic.

But Xia Youzhi couldn't laugh.

Her heart was filled with a heavy load of secrets.

Concerning...... Gu Tingshen's secret.

Thinking of the request of Deputy Director Liao in the end, Xia Youzhi felt very sad.

"Girl, if you can, you can explain it to Tingshen, he has a mother who loves him, and I don't want him to live in resentment for the rest of his life.

His grandfather has passed away, but his grandmother is still alive, and his grandmother also remembers him as a grandson very much.

If he wants, he can go to the house and have a look, and if he doesn't, it doesn't matter, we all respect him. ”

Deputy Director Liao had a pleading in his eyes, which made Xia Youzhi unable to refuse.

She nodded and agreed.

She will explain it clearly, not for anything else, but ...... She really hopes that Gu Tingshen can be happy.

Thinking of the lonely figure in his previous life, Xia You's heart hurt.

She took a deep breath and got on her bike and headed home.

In this life, let him be happy.
