Chapter 384: The Backbone

Half a month passed in a flash, and by the time the Su family's big ship sent Gu Shaoyu and the others to Jinling City, it was already the end of October.

The cold wind of early winter carried the chill and blew all over Jinling City.

Along the way, Gu Shaoyu's mood was not much better than this weather, and Du Jingyi, who received the news early, also deliberately asked Xing Zhao to pick them up at the dock, and brought plain clothes by the way.

When he saw Gu Shaoyu, Xing Zhao was also distressed.

Obviously, he is still the same person as before, but he has seen a lot of vicissitudes of life, and he wants to know how hard Old Madam Gu's death hit him.

"Cousin, are you okay?"

Gu Shaoyu didn't speak, only patted Xing Zhao's shoulder, and then asked.

"How's it going at home?"

"My cousin-in-law looked at it, but nothing happened, but a few days ago, the people from the seventh room of the Gu family went to visit, maybe there was a cousin or cousin who didn't talk much, so there was a bit of a verbal dispute, but it was suppressed by the seventh old lady, and the cousin-in-law didn't pursue it."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's rushing eyes were a little more unhappy, this was because he was not at home and wanted to bully his wife?

Seeing that his expression was not good, Xing Zhao knew that now was not the time to find fault, so he hurriedly took the plain clothes out and handed them over, and said in a broken voice.

"Cousin, don't be angry first, it's a serious thing to go back and worship the eldest grandmother first, this plain dress was brought by my cousin-in-law, saying that it was for you to wash your head first in the inn built by the Su family for rest, change your clothes and then go back."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't talk nonsense, and went with the people who came behind him, washed them all, changed their clothes before getting on the horse, and ran to the Gu family.

Hometown timidity.

Even though Gu Shaoyu had known the news of his grandmother's death for more than half a month, when he really saw the plain white silk in front of Gu's house, he couldn't help but take a small step back.

When Luo Yuan saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward to stand up to his general's back, although he was a playful character on weekdays, but now he must be the general's most solid backing!

When the little guy at the door of Gu's house saw Gu Shaoyu, he also shouted inside with red eyes.

"Quick, go and tell the young lady that the general is back!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the little guy ran all the way inside and shouted, and after a while, the entire Gu family heard it.

Gu Shaoyu came in stride, and his appearance brought the entire Gu family back to life.

Although he had changed into plain clothes, the beard on his face revealed his sorrow these days, and his brows were tightly locked and not relaxed.

When he walked to the front of the mourning hall, the Gu family members all got up or looked back at him one by one, their eyes full of excitement and sadness.

"Shaoyu, you're finally back."

"Big brother, grandmother is gone, no ......"

"Uncle Six!"

The eldest aunt is still in bed and can't get out of bed, and the bodies and bones of the second aunt and the third aunt are also guarding two days and resting one day, so Du Jingyi, the fourth aunt, Gu Xiaolang and Shang Zhiping have become the main force of this wake.

Fortunately, they are all young people, they can endure it, although their looks are a little worse, but their physical foundation is okay.

And the sister-in-law is taking care of the family's meals, and she is so tired that her feet don't touch the ground.

Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun had the heart to guard the spirit, but both of them were pregnant, especially Gu Xiaoyun, who was less than two months old, that is, a few days before Mrs. Gu passed away.

Her reaction was terrible, what she ate and what she vomited, so the second aunt Huo Shilang also guarded her inch by inch, and she couldn't come over, but the eldest aunt Su Erlang came here to guard during the day, and went back to guard the eldest aunt and Gu Xiaochun at night.

So in the past two days, Du Jingyi asked him to rest more in the courtyard, and then come to replace them in two days.

It's just that Du Jingyi's body was raised a few days ago, and the consumption of these days of the wake is almost the same, and the stomach that originally had a little bit of meat is now due to excessive fatigue, which is lighter than when he was not pregnant before.

His eyes were full of tiredness, but his face was fine.

When he looked at his husband, tears fell out of his eyes all of a sudden, and even a few other people cried again when they saw Gu Shaoyu.

Everyone had their own sadness, but they all turned into a sigh from Gu Shaoyu, and when they knelt down in front of the spiritual position and on the futon, Gu Shaoyu's voice trembled a little.

"The grandson is late to come back, and the grandmother ......"

After speaking, he slammed his head three times, his strength was so great, and when he got up again, it was already red and swollen, although Du Jingyi was distressed, he also knew that if his sadness was not resolved through these, he was afraid that there would be problems!

So he didn't stop much, just took a wad of gold and silver paper money and whispered.

"General, burn some gold and silver for your grandmother, so that her old man can have more money over there."

Gu Shaoyu looked up at Du Jingyi, and felt how distressed she was that she had been able to survive until now, so he reached out and touched her already slimmed cheek and said.

"Mrs. Hardship, I'm back, you take the fourth aunt and the third sister back to rest first, sleep for a while, I have something to tell you at night."

Of course, Gu Shaoyu could see that they were all standing up, in order not to let outsiders underestimate the Gu family, and now the Gu family can be regarded as a thriving person, but those are all swaddling, and they will just fall away, and now they can afford to support the family?

Therefore, when he came back, everyone's hearts were settled.

Du Jingyi had the heart to accompany her husband, so she said to the fourth aunt.

"Ping'er is also a person who has stayed up all night, let's let him go back and rest first, I will accompany the general here to burn gold and silver for my grandmother for a while before leaving."

Knowing that their husband and wife might have something to say, the fourth aunt didn't talk much nonsense, took Gu Xiaolang and Shang Zhiping, and limped away.

As for Xing Zhao and Luo Yuan and others, they didn't have a good impact, and after only bowing three times outside, they stayed in the courtyard.

Who has not had bruises on his knees after kneeling for so many days?

And Du Jingyi got up and wanted to move over to accompany Gu Shaoyu, but his legs and feet were already numb, and he couldn't even stand up.

Seeing this, Cherry wanted to help Du Jingyi, but she was hugged by Gu Shaoyu, looked around, took a fancy to a stool in the back, and sent her over to sit down before saying.

"I just gave birth to a child, and I can't do it in the future, my grandmother knows your filial piety to her, and if you don't care about it, I'll just burn it."
