Chapter 892
892 So, there was a reason for everything
The gentle breeze ruffled Gu Youli’s hair. She looked ahead and nodded gently. “A little.”
Old master Yu frowned and said,”can I tell you a story?” How is it?”
Gu Youli was stunned for a moment before asking softly, ” “Is it a story about this rule?”
When she saw old master Yu, she smiled and nodded. Gu Youli also smiled. “Sure, Grandpa, please tell me.”
Old master Yu slowly told a story from a long, long time ago. my father was born into a prestigious family. He was the descendant of a merchant in the Qing Dynasty. Although the Qing Dynasty fell and the Republic of China arrived, the Yu family was still as rich as a country. My father had been dressed in fine clothes and food since he was young. Every day, he had a group of servants at his beck and call. When he was young, he was a famous young master. He was romantic, arrogant, and rebellious. He was handsome and carefree. He played around and enjoyed himself. Every day, he lived a life of luxury and spending money.
Gu Youli stared at old master Yu the entire time and listened to him talk about things that happened in the past. His smile was in high spirits as if he was the handsome young man he was talking about.
It could be seen that old master Yu really admired this father.
“Does this Russian roulette have anything to do with great-grandpa?” she asked.
Old master Yu continued, ” the Russian roulette game was actually a rule set by him. Speaking of your great-grandfather, with his status and background at that time, whether it was a young lady from a rich family or a noble family, he could have married any woman if he wanted to. However, he didn’t want any of them and fell for a child bride of a teacher.
Gu Youli was very curious. Seeing that the old man had suddenly stopped talking, she quickly asked, ” “And then?”
” the teacher was educated, and he was very opposed to the system of child-bride, so in his heart, he only treated his wife, little qiao, as a sister. he taught her how to read and write, and little qiao became a revolutionary soldier. later, the teacher got married, but his wife was not little qiao. one of his female classmates even had a child. during the chaotic times, because little qiao was a revolutionary soldier, they were implicated and died, leaving behind an only son.
Little Qiao decided to treat this child as her own and raise him up. However, in those chaotic times, it was very difficult for a woman to raise a child. She suffered a lot. The child suffered from smallpox, and even she herself was infected with a terrible disease. When she was about to die, it was her father who saved them and invited the best doctor in the city to cure her and her child’s illness. After that, they gradually got along and made love. Her father married little Qiao despite the opposition of his family. They even gave the child a name, Yu Guozhong!”
Gu Youli’s eyes widened in shock. that child? the teacher’s child is you, Grandpa? ”
Old master Yu nodded with a smile. I have no impression of them at all. Since I was young, little Qiao and young master Yu were my parents. They were closer to me than their own sons!
my great-grandparents also had a son after they got married. Could the Russian roulette be because of you, Wanwan? ” Gu Youli guessed but did not finish her sentence.
Old master Yu leaned back in his chair and sighed, ” it was me and my brother that gave my parents a headache. Because he loved me too much and cared too little about my brother, he always went head to head with me. He was even prepared to fight to the death for the family inheritance. In the end, my father had no choice but to take out a gun and use Russia to gamble to decide whether we would live or die.
