After breakfast, the family went out.
They declined the offer of a carriage and drove the ox-cart from the old house to town. When they heard that the owner of the old house was a woman and was going to the back of the house, grandma Gu packed up and followed them out.
She was still a little worried about Cai Xiaolian. Although she had seen the changes in her second brother’s family, she still wanted to keep an eye on them.
She didn’t want to interfere, but she was worried that if something happened, she could have someone to help her.
The ox-cart was pulling a hundred catties of slag sea pepper. Gu shouxin was driving the cart, and several women were sitting behind.
An hour later, the ox-cart followed the carriage in front to the backyard of the county government office.
“This Zhenzhen!” The Gu family was shocked.
Could it be that drunken River Restaurant was opened by the county magistrate’s woman? Why is the business so bad?
“Grandmother, mother, I want to follow father!” After alighting from the ox-cart, Gu Xin did not want to go with them.
“Eh? Why?” Cai Xiaolian asked, puzzled.
“Mother, come down a little. I’ll tell you in secret.” Gu Xin glanced at Gu shouxin, then tugged at Cai Xiaolian’s sleeve and whispered.
Cai Xiaolian bent down and put her ear to Gu Xin’s mouth.
Gu Xin whispered,’when I passed by the gambling den just now, I saw father looking inside. Mother, I’ll follow father. I won’t let him go in.”
Cai Xiaolian laughed. This child!
“Alright, you follow father and watch him. When I close the deal, I’ll buy some cloth and go home to make you some new clothes!” Cai Xiaolian touched Gu Xin’s head and smiled.
Therefore, the Gu family split into two groups. Gu shouxin took Gu Xin to the study House, while Cai Xiaolian took grandma Gu and Gu Nian to the back of the county government.
Xinxin is worried that daddy will go gambling again? ” Gu shouxin held Gu Xin’s little hand and asked, feeling hurt.
“No, no, I didn’t. I believe in father.” Gu Xin quickly shook her head and broke into a wide smile, ” I’m just afraid that you’ll be bored out there alone. I’ll accompany you.
“That Xinxin is really great! His father was very happy. Don’t worry, Xinxin, daddy has such a good daughter, I really won’t go gambling again.” Gu shouxin didn’t expose Gu Xin, but promised her again.
Father, it’s Xinxin’s fault. She shouldn’t have doubted you. Gu Xin lowered her head and suddenly felt guilty that she shouldn’t have doubted her father who had changed for the better.
Gu shouxin squatted down and looked at Gu Xin, ” “Xinxin didn’t do anything wrong. It was her father’s fault in the past. Xinxin was the kindest girl in the world. She could forgive her bad father and even stand up to stop him from repeating the same mistakes and continuing to gamble. So, father won’t let Xinxin down in the future.”
Gu Xin’s eyes lit up and she nodded her head vigorously, ” “Yes, I believe in you, father!”
“Let’s go! I’ll take you to the study. Let’s go there and buy some ink and brush. I’ll use that place to teach Xinxin how to write and complete today’s task!” Gu shouxin tidied up Gu Xin’s clothes and led her to the study.
A few children with Dirty Faces looked at the back of the father and daughter. They were so envious of children with fathers!
On the other side, Butler Qian led the three grandfathers and granddaughters of the Gu family into the back of the residence. When they reached the innermost part, a maidservant was waiting there.
“Granny sun, she’s here. Is it convenient for Madam to see you now?” Butler Qian was very polite to granny sun.
“Yes, old Qian, you can go! I’ll take them to see Madam!” Granny sun sized up the three of them, then nodded.
