Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

Elder Zhao's voice was choked with sobs. "When I knew that the young master was going to bring his wife and daughter to live here, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep at night. I was worried that the environment here wouldn't be as good as the old house and that you wouldn't be able to get used to it, so I had someone dig a pond overnight, raised a lot of carp in it, and planted many flowers in the yard."

"But I didn't expect that not long after that, I received news that the eldest master had a car accident, the eldest young lady also passed away, and the young lady was missing. I was so panicked, how could this happen?"

"How could this happen?"

"I didn't dare to close my eyes for a whole day and night. I just stood by the door and waited, thinking that maybe I received the wrong message. I just waited at the door and I thought I would get it eventually."

"Then I finally got it, but it was a gate banner sent from the old house..."

Gu Jinhe never thought that there was someone waiting for her in the ancestral home.

At this moment, an inexplicable emotion flashed through her heart. She looked at Mr. Zhao with tears in his eyes and said soothingly, "I'm back, right? I'll stay here for a few days to accompany you, okay?"

When Mr. Zhao heard that Gu Jinhe was not leaving after lunch, he immediately felt happy. He knew that it was impossible for Gu Jinhe to stay here for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Mr. Zhao's emotions had stabilized, Gu Jinhe personally served a bowl of soup and brought it to his table. Mr. Zhao quickly took it with both hands, feeling quite flattered.

Gu Jinhe asked, "How many people live in the ancestral house?"

Along the way, Gu Jinhe didn't see anyone else except Old Zhao, but Gu Jinhe knew that it was impossible for Old Zhao to be the only one in the ancestral home.

I didn’t know this before, but when Gu Jinyu and Gu Chenliang came here three years ago, it was impossible that there was no one to take care of their daily life.

Mr. Zhao: "Including me, there are a total of twenty-two people."

Gu Jinhe asked curiously, "Why haven't I seen it before?"

Elder Zhao said helplessly, "Before the Fifth Master and the Fourth Young Master came, they all lived in the ancestral house, but then the Fourth Young Master said that this place was too small and that it was not feasible for so many people to move around, so he asked someone to rent a house next door and asked the rest of the people to move there."

"On weekdays, we only come to the ancestral house in the morning to clean, or leave after cooking."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhe's anger suddenly rose.

But Gu Jinhe didn't show it. She said to Mr. Zhao in a gentle tone: "These people should be the elderly living in the ancestral home. I want to meet them."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao's mood improved. He said happily, "Okay, after the young lady has lunch and rested, I will let them come to see her."

Thinking back to what Old Zhao said before, Gu Jinyu usually goes out all day and only comes back when the sun sets. Doesn’t this mean that most of the time Old Zhao is alone in the ancestral home?

Gu Jinhe asked calmly, "After Gu Jinyu left, have you been taking care of Uncle Wu?"

Although my fifth uncle is a vegetable lying in bed, he still needs someone to take care of him. There has to be someone by his side to clean and care for him on a daily basis.

Mr. Zhao: "After the Fourth Young Master went out, I stayed in the yard and watched over the Fifth Young Master. I learned the acupuncture point massage techniques from the doctor, and I massaged the Fifth Young Master's meridians every day, which was also very good."

A cold light flashed in Gu Jinhe's eyes, "Gu Jinyu! You are really great!"

I thought he was so filial, but I didn't expect that when he came here, he would just leave Gu Chenliang here and go out to enjoy himself.

Gu Jinhe didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, for fear of getting angry.

"Does Mr. Zhao have other relatives?"

Mr. Zhao smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "I got married when I was young, but she later fell ill and passed away. I have come this far alone."

There is not even a child.

Gu Jinhe pursed her lips, not knowing how to start.

Mr. Zhao didn't care: "I've been through this for decades, I'm used to it, there's nothing wrong with this, I have no worries, and I can live an easy life."

After that, Gu Jinhe didn't ask any more questions, so as not to touch upon Mr. Zhao's sore spot.

After lunch, Mr. Zhao took Gu Jinhe to a room. He said that this was the courtyard that was prepared for Gu Chenjun and his wife to live in.

Although it didn't wait for its owner back then, it was not in vain now that the young lady had arrived.

"I clean this room often, so it's clean. Miss, feel free to stay here. If you need anything, just call me. Although I'm old, my ears are still good."

Gu Jinhe admitted this. When Xu Cheng knocked on the door, Mr. Zhao should have been in Gu Chenliang's room. Gu Jinhe saw a basin of warm water and a used towel on the table, which should have been used to wipe Gu Chenliang.

Even from such a long distance, Mr. Zhao could hear the knock on the door, which shows that his hearing is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Gu Jinhe rested in the room for only an hour before coming out. After she went out and came to the outside of the yard, she saw more than 20 people waiting there.

Gu Jinhe saw that most of these people were middle-aged, with only a few young people, and two or three who were about the same age as Mr. Zhao.

These people are all elderly people living in their ancestral homes.

Old Zhao stood by and introduced these people to Gu Jinhe one by one, and then he emphasized Gu Jinhe's identity to these people.

"Hello, Miss." These people bowed slightly in the direction of Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe said to these people: "I don't care about these empty formalities. I asked Mr. Zhao to call you here because he wanted to see you. I will feel relieved if I know that you are all living well."

Next, Gu Jinhe asked several elderly people and felt relieved when he learned that they were all in good health, eating well and sleeping well.

Gu Jinyu, this rebellious son, actually drove an old man who was as old as the old lady out of the ancestral home.

They are elderly people who have lived here all their lives, but they never expected that at their old age they would still have to live in a rented house outside.

Gu Jinhe almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face.

After these people left, Gu Jinhe did not let Old Zhao follow them, and asked him to go and rest. Since she came here, he had been busy for most of the day.

But Gu Jinhe also knew that if he let Mr. Zhao rest, he would not be able to rest well. Gu Jinhe saw him turn and go to Gu Chenliang's yard.

Time passed quickly, the sun set, and night fell unknowingly.

Gu Jinyu walked into the ancestral home under the moonlight and suddenly stopped when he passed the pond.

He shouted, "Who's there!"

In the dim light, a figure was sitting by the pond. Her face could not be seen clearly, but from her figure it was clear that she was a woman.

Gu Jinhe turned on the light beside him. When the light came on, Gu Jinyu saw who the person was. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"How will you be here?"

"Were you kicked out by the old lady?"

"No, it's impossible. The old lady values ​​you so much, how could she kick you out of the Gu family?"

Gu Jinyu asked three questions in a row, revealing his current thoughts completely.
