Chapter 492: The Yu Family’s Decision
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Grandpa Yu, have you considered it? Do you want to return to the Xuanhe Prefecture with us?”
Gu Yundong hoped that they would leave together. The Yu family did not have any relatives here. If they encountered any problems, they would be isolated and helpless. At the very least, they would be able to take care of each other when they went to the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Moreover, the Yu family had taken care of her father for so long. She wanted to repay them no matter what.
Uncle Yu and Uncle Yu looked at each other. A moment later, Uncle Yu wiped his face and said with a smile, “Gu girl, Grandpa Yu thanks you for your kind intentions. However, we still want to stay in Wanqing Prefecture.”
“But...”
As he spoke, he wiped his face. “I’m already so old. I don’t know how much longer I can live. When I’m free, I can still go and talk to my wife. Don’t let no one visit them when the time comes. If the grass on the grave grows to half the height of a person and there’s no one to take care of them, they’ll be so sad. On the way to escape, they starved to death to give us a bite to eat. How can we leave them behind now?”
In the end, Uncle Yu could not help but tear up.
Gu Yundong panicked and quickly handed him a handkerchief.
“Yes, Grandpa Yu is right. I didn’t consider everything. It’s my fault.”
Uncle Yu quickly stopped his tears and smiled when he heard her words. “What’s your fault? You’re a good child. You want Grandpa Yu to live a good life, but Grandpa Yu has three grown sons. How can he let a little girl who hasn’t reached adulthood take care of him?”
Uncle Yu’s eyes were also red. Although he was sad at the mention of his deceased mother and wife, he could still control his emotions. He only said with a slightly choked voice, “That’s right, Gu girl. Just take your father back in peace and don’t worry about us. Let’s work hard. Our lives will get better. The next time you come, we might all live in a big house.”
Gu Yundong smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait.” After a pause, she said, “But if you don’t follow us to the Xuanhe Prefecture, I have something to ask you for help with.”
