"Mother, I've made it very clear to you that I won't go back to the Gu family. Don't mention the Gu family not admitting that I'm here, even if the Gu family did admit it, I still wouldn't go back." Taking a deep breath, Gu Jinyu felt the need to explain this matter to her mother.
Perhaps in those early years, he had truly wished to be able to return home one day.
After all … After all, no matter what happened at the Gu household, he didn't have to worry about not being able to eat until he was full, nor did he have to worry about his little sister being starved to death.
But then …
The Gu family … His mother didn't know, but she did know.
Although he was the eldest son of the Gu family, the Gu family wasn't suitable for him, so he shouldn't have gone back.
"You … What did you say... Are you crazy? All these years, mother has worked so hard to earn money to support your ability to read and write. Didn't she want you to rise to prominence and return one day, but you … What do you mean by that? "
Gu Yu felt like she was about to die from anger. She looked at the child who was almost as tall as her. She had obviously raised him all by herself, but why did she feel like she didn't recognize him at all?
Impossible. After so many years, he had placed all of his hopes on this child. He couldn't treat him like this.
"If I had known earlier, you would have brought me out to revisit my family. I wouldn't have followed you no matter what."
There wasn't the slightest emotion on her gentle face, nor was there the slightest fluctuation in her tone. It was as if Gu Jinyu was telling herself.
There were some things that Gu Yu might think he didn't know, but in his heart, he was very clear of … However, she had done quite a few things over the years. No matter what her goal was, at the very least she hadn't mistreated him … Therefore, he wasn't willing to say it out loud.
But some things happened, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
If he hadn't known about her back then, his little sister wouldn't have been what she was now.
Others might not know about this, but he was very clear about it … If it wasn't because of this matter, the Madam wouldn't have been implicated, and perhaps they wouldn't have been forced to leave the Gu family …
And all of this was simply self-inflicted. It was just that she wasn't willing to tell him, nor was she willing to ask, especially after seeing her sister grow up day by day. He didn't want her to suffer any more harm.
"You … Are you serious? " Only now did Gu Yu feel vaguely sure that he really didn't want to return to the Gu family, but … But why? The Gu family was a noble family that many people could only hope to reach. He was the eldest son of the Gu family, and his grandson …
"Of course I'm serious. If you don't want to give up and return, then go alone."
Gu Jinyu knew clearly in her heart that if she went back alone, she would be beaten out of the Gu family before she could even reach them.
Thus, he was very sure that she did not dare to return alone, which was why she dared to say such words.
"You … You … You have no conscience, you... "Are you trying to force me to my death …"
Let him go back alone?
It would be more accurate to say that he was sending himself to his death!
Gu Yu's wife viciously waited for Gu Jinyu, and she felt like every word he said was as if he was digging out her heart. He is basically going against me. It seems like he knows a lot … However, how did he find out? Madam Gu Yu was very anxious …
If he could go back by himself, he wouldn't have stayed in that desolate place for so many years.
She knew very well that it was impossible for the Gu family to not care about anything, which was why she let her days go by in a mess. It looked as if she worked hard every day, but only she herself knew whether she did it or not. However, she didn't expect that other than the Gu Clan sending people to help for the first few years, they also secretly stuffed in silver. After that, it became less and less, especially after the past two years when there had almost been no one left.
If the Gu family really forgot about them, then how would they live in the future?
That's why she was so busy trying to figure out a way to go home …
She had been insisting at the beginning, thinking that the Gu family would regret it one day. She had to wait for them and beg her to return. But now, the Gu family really didn't care about it anymore. She really panicked and didn't know what to do …
"I think you know very well in your heart that I do not want to investigate what happened that year." Although his clear eyes couldn't be seen, that sharp light made him unable to hide.
All these years, he had been thinking about how to read properly, all because he had the power to protect his sister one day.
After all … No matter what, she was his own mother, and since she was the one who did it, he had to take responsibility for it.
He also knew that she hadn't given up all these years, and she wanted to go home, so he asked her to stop and not send anything over to them. After all these years, they were already used to it, regardless of the UAN, they were already used to not being able to eat enough, no matter how many things the family sent over, she would always let her sister and herself be at the same level as not starving.
If he said he didn't hate her, that would be a lie.
But... But when it came to hatred, she was his mother after all.
Perhaps she believed that everything was done in secret, but she still knew. She just didn't want to say it, and she didn't know who she could tell.
Since that was the case, they might as well give up on themselves. If they gave up completely, then she might just give up. If she gave up, then perhaps she could have a few days of good days.
But he didn't expect that after those people stopped, since she still hadn't given up, she would still want to bring him back.
"You … "What do you know …"
Gu Yu stared blankly at the youth in front of her. He was very similar to that man, she had once liked that man … Then, how much did she hate him now? She hated that man … She had given birth to his son, but he wasn't willing to say anything good for her. If he had said something good for her, then those people wouldn't have dared to do anything to her …
"I know everything."
Gu Jin replied expressionlessly.
Yes, he knew everything. It was because he knew everything that he treated his little sister so well, instead of being as cold and indifferent as her little sister.
Actually, in the first few years, he did not like Nona either.
In his heart, he was also resentful, pushing all the pain and suffering he had gone through onto Nona. If not for her, he wouldn't have been driven out.
But later, he slowly found out from them that his mother told him the truth, and that it was just a lie.
"You … "How do you know? What do you know?"
All these years, she had been very careful and never let a single word out of his mouth. How could he possibly know? Gu Yu's family still couldn't believe it.
However, she had forgotten that since the Gu family could secretly send people to help them, they could naturally secretly raise their own son.
No matter what, Gu Jinyu was the eldest son of the Gu family, a fact that could not be changed. Even if the Gu family decided not to let Gu Jinyu review her family, it did not mean that the Gu family could truly let her live. A bunch of people could understand such a simple logic just by thinking about it. Unfortunately, all these years, Gu Yu's family had been thinking about how to make them feel sorry for him, make them suffer, make the Gu family unable to watch on, and then bring them back.
It had to be said that she had sent people from the Gu family to help out in the dark because she couldn't stand watching any longer.
But... She did miss one thing.
That was the academy.
That's right, she really hoped that Gu Jinyu would be able to rise to prominence. Naturally, she couldn't possibly refuse to let her study in the academy.
Therefore, even if she didn't feed Gu Jinyu, she wouldn't feel wronged in the least when it came to reading. All of her uses were the best, and it was only during the next two years that the Gu family completely cut off their covert help that she had no other choice.
It was because of this that the Gu family was lucky enough to have a chance. They wouldn't be worth it to her, and they would also be able to openly train their own children.
Otherwise, how could there be a school like this in such a small town the size of a palm?
"How should I know? The most important thing is that I will not do as you wish."
Actually, two or three years ago, the Gu family had asked him if he wanted to go back.
At that time, she had rejected him outright. After all, what if she were to return to Ninth Mother? Would the family recognize Nona?
Furthermore … Although Gu Yu had done many wrong things, she was still his biological mother. They had been living together for so many years, how could he just scare her away?
Of course, there was also the most important point.
His eyes.
Mister also said that the descendants of the Gu family were all intelligent beyond compare.
Even though he had already worked hard to learn it, but … However, he couldn't change the fact that he couldn't see with his own eyes, so he was slower than others by a lot … No matter how diligent he was, some things could be made up for, others could not.
"You … Do you know what you're talking about? Years... Back then, I knew that … I know... I was also forced into a corner. "
Yes, back then, she was also forced into a corner. She was her husband's legal wife, but … But who knew that in the blink of an eye, he had become the Gu family's son, and even had a betrothed fiancée … As for that person's fiancee, her status was extremely noble … There was no way for him to compare with it …
She couldn't stand by and watch her husband being snatched away along with her children, could she?
"I know, so I don't blame you. The Gu family hasn't blamed you for all these years."
Yes, to put it bluntly, this matter was not simply a question of who was right or wrong. The events of that year were truly too complicated.
His father had been born in the hands of a soldier, and his young father had been protected by a servant who had died from his injuries. His father had been adopted by a farmer, and he had married his mother, who was a servant of the Gu family … But who would have thought that … Who would have thought that her father would be the direct descendant of the Gu family …
At that time, his mother was already pregnant, so the Gu family didn't say anything. However, it was impossible for a servant girl like his mother to become the main mother of the Gu family. And his father had married that family's young lady with the support of the Gu family's elders …
The Gu family was indeed not bad to them, but their father had been in a bad shape due to the young soldiers' calamity. After the marriage, he had no children.
He had become the Gu family's only child, and it was because of this that his mother had been able to endure this entire time, right?
But who knew that four years later, the Madam became pregnant … Then my mother had a bad idea...
