Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 165
"What to do, what to do, what did she steal, what did she take away from us." Bai Wei stamped his feet angrily, wishing he could rush out immediately and tear Gu's face directly for Wu to see.

"Don't worry, sister." Bai Shao took her arm and said in a low voice, "Grandma can't get out now, no matter what you take, you can always find it, the most important thing now is to let our mother know..."

Thinking of Wu Shi's pity for Gu Shi, but in exchange for this kind of treatment, Bai Shao and Bai Wei couldn't help feeling sorry for Wu Shi.

But, no matter what, what needs to be said is what needs to be said.

That night, after selling all the things that mattered most, Zhao Long and Bai Chuanbai went to the door of the shop, and when the family gathered around to prepare for dinner, Bai Shao hesitated to mention today's events.

"Mother, I seem to have seen grandma enter our house today." Bai Shao said tactfully.

"Ah, is your grandma bored and want to talk to you?" Mrs. Wu said nonchalantly while scooping up rice, "It may also be because I'm hungry and want to go to your house to find something to eat. Speaking of which, I I have to bring her some food quickly later, if I don’t eat at noon, if I don’t eat at night, I’ll be starving.”

"Mother... My sister and I lost something." Bai Shao saw that Mrs. Wu couldn't understand, so she emphasized a little more, "It's quite important."

"Ah, what did you lose?" Wu Shi was taken aback for a moment, but she connected Bai Shao's words together, and suddenly her face turned pale, "Shao'er, did you lose money?"

"Well, mother, the big money box is fine because I hid the key, but the small money box is the copper coins and broken silver that I have earned in the past few days, because I haven't had time to exchange them into big ingots. I didn't put the silver or banknotes in the big money box, and they all disappeared." Bai Shao said a little aggrieved.

With a "click", the spoon in Wu's hand fell on the dining table. She looked at Bai Shao palely, and then at the direction of Gu's room. She pursed her lips and said in a panic, "It should be "It's probably not your grandma who did it."

In one sentence, the sentence was cut off before and after, and an uncertain "bar" was added at the end, which shows that Wu's heart also believed in the little girl.

"Mother, I don't think so, after all, grandma's hand is injured, and she has been lying on the bed." Bai Wei rolled her eyes, and actually started to excuse Gu Shi from the side.

"Yes, yes, your grandma's hand is injured, how could she go stealing something." Wu Shi paled and smiled, "Yes, you must have misremembered, Shao'er, see if you misplaced it... ...Your grandma's hand is hurt..."

"Maybe." Bai Shao lowered her head and began to eat in silence.

The smile on Wu's face froze. In fact, even she herself immediately thought of Gu's after she learned that the money was lost. Everything after that was just her powerless attempt to excuse Gu.

In fact, you will know if you steal it or not.

Why did the feeble refutation here, and finally wronged the little girl.

If Mrs. Gu really did such a thing...

Then, it can be regarded as the end of the relationship between their mother and daughter.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Shi was a little desolate, and finally some strength surged up in her heart. It just so happened that Bai Chuanbai gently held her hand at this time. The husband and wife looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and called out The three children went to Gu's house.

At that time, Mrs. Gu was lying on the bed, with her eyes open, looking at the thick beams on the roof, and thinking about the dilapidated yard of the Wu family, and finally sighed.

If possible, in fact, she also wants to hide with her daughter and never go back, and be a happy old lady with peace of mind.

However, she couldn't let go of the three gentlemen of the Wu family.

Sometimes, the son and husband are the pillars, and the daughter... the daughter is from the Bai family, so it's unreliable, so it's better to follow the son and husband to be more reliable.

Thinking of this, Gu touched the hard lump under the pillow and smiled all over her face.

Just at this time, Mrs. Wu knocked on the door and walked in.

Mrs. Gu was in a very good mood today, and her tone was very cheerful, "Xiaohui, did you bring me food? I'm just very hungry. Please help me up quickly, I want to eat."

"Hey, mother." Mrs. Wu responded in a low voice, stepped forward to light the kerosene lamp, then helped Mrs. Gu to sit up, rolled the quilt into a roll, and placed it behind her.

"Where's the food?" Mrs. Gu glanced at Mrs. Wu's hand twice, and when she found that there was nothing there, her expression turned a little ugly, "Why didn't you bring me any food?"

"Mother, let's eat later, I have some questions to ask you..." Mrs. Wu pursed her lips, but hadn't figured out how to ask Mrs. Gu.

Gu's on the side sighed, "You didn't give me a good meal for this last meal. I was so hungry that I didn't eat at noon. Xiaohui, you were so sweet to my mother before. Why? I don't even know I'm hungry now."

"The last meal?" Wu frowned and asked in a low voice, "Mother, are you going back tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I have to go home. I've lived with you for ten days. I should go. Tonight is my last meal. I'm hungry, Xiaohui. You have to feed me." Gu Said loudly.

"Grandma, why don't you stay for two more days, it's only ten days, why are you going?" Bai Wei stuck out her head from behind Wu Shi, and said with a smile.

"Hey, Wei'er, there are still two uncles of yours to take care of at my grandma's house, and your grandpa is not in good health. I have to go back and come to see you when I have time." He squeezed out a smile.

Bai Wei curled her lips, and said with some disdain, "They are all tall and big, they don't need grandma's care, grandma should stay here for two more days, I won't let grandma go back."

"That's impossible..." When she heard that she was not allowed to go back, Gu panicked, "I don't care, I have to be sent home tomorrow, ten days... I have to go back after ten days."

"What ten days, grandma." Seeing her panic, Bai Shao asked calmly.

"Never mind your business." Seeing that it was Bai Shao who was asking the question, Gu's tone became less polite, "I'm talking to Wei'er, don't interrupt."

Bai Shao hurriedly lowered her head, closed her mouth, and glanced at Wu Shi who looked very bad from the corner of her eye.

"Mother, how can you say that about Shao'er?" Wu Shi, who had been unable to stop questioning Gu Shi just now, finally became annoyed after seeing Gu Shi reprimanding Bai Shao, "Mother, why are you I have to go back in ten days, is there anything I need to go back and explain to my father?"

"It's nothing." When Mrs. Gu heard Mrs. Wu's question, she felt a "thump" in her heart, her face obviously changed, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "I just think I've lived with you for a long time. It's over...I have to go back and take care of your father, and your brother, they are all rough old men, and their two wives are careless, so I don't feel relieved to take care of you..."

"Really?" Wu's lips trembled, and she looked at Gu's fixedly.

After Mrs. Wu's meticulous care these days, Mrs. Gu's skinny appearance is much better than before. She has finally grown some flesh, her cheeks have become slightly plump, her lips have turned red, and she has become more energetic. Aged, speaking louder than before.

But it's such a mother who takes good care of her, doesn't remember her kindness, and all her thoughts are on the husband and son who treated her badly.

For a moment, Wu Shi suddenly questioned himself, why should he treat Gu Shi so well.

It's not that she doesn't know her character, she has always attached great importance to her son and her husband, but every time she sees her miserable appearance, Wu can't help but feel sad, love her, and want to treat her better.

He also secretly gave money to Gu's before, but Gu's changed hands and gave it to Mr. Wu.

Now that Mrs. Wu has learned to be smart, she doesn't give Gu's money anymore, but instead gives her delicious food, and only gives her the amount for one person, so that she can't stay.

In the end, it turned out that she actually wanted to steal money from her own family, and she even used so many cunning...

When she saw Gu's relaxed tone saying that she was going home tomorrow, Wu's heart was almost torn.

"Xiaohui, knowing that you are doing well, I am relieved, now I want to go back and see how your father is doing these few days..." Mrs. Gu was still rambling on.

Wu Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said firmly, "Okay, I'll take you back."

When Gu Shi heard this, he immediately smiled.

It's just that before the corners of the mouth were drawn too far, Wu Shi said in a low voice, "Mother, I can send you back, but you have to keep the things that belong to the Bai family."

For an instant, Gu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
