The second aunt shouted again, which made Grandpa so angry that he had to make a decision about Gu Rong.
The medical staff in the ward had left long ago, after all, this was a family matter, and these outsiders didn't want to hear too much. Qin Sheng stood steadily in the room, although he didn't speak, but he kept standing beside the bed, subtly using his body to block Grandfather, as if to prevent Second Aunt from suddenly erupting and doing something unpredictable.
Gu Mian lowered her head, her ears filled with Er Niang's shouting and Er Shu's uncertain voice. She was only grateful that Gu Nan had gone to school and wasn't here, or else seeing his mother treat his grandfather like this would have been unbearable for him.
Sometimes she felt it was really amazing, Er Yi died for money, Er Shu soft bone head, these two people actually didn't teach Gu Nan to be crooked, it's really a hard-to-explain thing.
Second Aunt is making such a fuss, and in the end it's all about money. Second Aunt may not be very clear about it, but she knows that what's left behind to be divided later are just a few small trinkets. The bracelet on her hand that brought her special powers is one of them, but to be honest, it's not particularly valuable either.
She knew about her own abilities and also inquired about the origin of the bangle, even coaxing Grandpa to take it out for her to examine carefully again, but she didn't find anything special.
Grandfather wants Second Uncle to get a divorce, although it sounds unreasonable, but it's actually coming from his heart wanting the best for Second Uncle. Unfortunately, looking at Second Uncle's embarrassed expression, Gu Mian estimates that Second Uncle won't get a divorce.
Second Uncle has been controlled by Second Aunt for so many years, it's unrealistic to suddenly get a divorce. To put it bluntly, Second Uncle is just a softie, and he and Second Aunt are two people who are willing to fight and be beaten.
"Dad, Xiaojia was just confused for a moment. You're an adult and shouldn't hold it against her, so forgive her this time. She went back home yesterday and bought some bones, then stewed bone soup for you." Second Uncle said, lifting the thermos in his hand.
"Never mind, I don't have the good fortune to enjoy it! I'll ask you one last time, are you going to divorce or not?" Grandfather also got stubborn and insisted on getting an answer from Second Uncle.
Mom Ji Yun was on one side, and it wasn't right to persuade her, nor was it right not to persuade her. She simply turned her head and pretended she hadn't seen anything.
"Look at you. Father's favoritism isn't something new, do I have to be the evil daughter-in-law? In the past when older brother was around, father was like this, and after older brother left, he became even more biased towards Gu Mei and her mother. What are we three worth in grandfather's eyes? When you were detained at the police station, I begged so many people, my shoes were worn out twice, but what about them? They just sat at home doing nothing, not caring about anything." Second Aunt saw Grandfather being so resolute, knew that today's matter couldn't be resolved peacefully, and directly tore off her mask, playing the family card against Second Uncle.
She has been with Gu Rong for so many years and even gave birth to a son like Gu Nan, if Gu Rong dares to divorce her, she will do whatever it takes!
"Old wife, don't say anymore..." Second Uncle saw Grandfather's face getting uglier and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Second Aunt back.
Second Aunt glared at Second Uncle for a moment, but ultimately shut her mouth. After all, she needed his support now.
"Dad, we're all family, why make things so awkward." Second Uncle was ready to mediate.
Grandpa took a deep breath and stared at Second Uncle: "So you're saying...you won't get divorced?"
The second uncle lowered his head and did not speak. But his silent attitude had already revealed everything.
"Am I now the evil grandfather who beats the mandarin ducks?" Grandfather was furious, but instead of getting angry, he smiled: "Gu Rong, tell me honestly, do you also think that I'm biased towards Gu Mei and her mother, and biased towards your older brother, and don't love you?"
"Big brother left early, Dad misses Mengmeng too......" said Second Uncle dryly.
Grandpa's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, and he suddenly seemed to have aged several years: "It seems you think so too. Although I live with Mangmang and the others, in all these years, when did you ever need me and I didn't stand up for you? You and your wife love to mess around, one moment doing this, the next doing that. Weren't those all things I paid for? You two said it was borrowed back then, but after so many years, is there ever a time to repay?"
The two uncles and aunts didn't say anything anymore.
Gu Mei saw her grandfather like this, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. To be honest, she didn't care about the things in her grandfather's hands now, but those things were all his, and he could do whatever he wanted with them. What right did these younger generations have to ask too much?
Before grandma passed away, she said that the property should be divided equally between the two brothers. Grandpa didn't say no to it either. Now second aunt is being overly anxious and making a fuss about wanting it. Last time when grandpa was hospitalized, second aunt had this idea already. This time again because of this, grandpa indirectly ended up in the hospital...
"Gu Rong, you've grown up, your son Gu Nan is also this big now. I'm old and can't control you anymore. Since you don't want to divorce and think I'm biased, I'll divide the property with you. From now on, you all live your lives, we'll live ours, so you won't come over every few days to make trouble. My old bones can't take that much trouble." Grandpa beckoned to mom to come forward.
Mom heard Grandpa say this and couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart, never thinking things would turn out like this.
"Dad, what do you mean?" Er Shu heard this and looked at Grandpa in surprise.
The second aunt heard her grandfather say that he would divide the things, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She had made such a big fuss just for those things, and since she could get them in her hands, what else was there to make a fuss about?
"It doesn't matter, after you've taken your things, don't come looking for me and Mengmeng mother and daughter again. Since we've already split the family property, that means we're two separate families now. As for the money you borrowed from us before, I don't want it back either. But in the future, don't think about making up excuses to ask for more money, we're not running a bank. From now on, you can do whatever you want, but I won't interfere anymore." Grandfather has given up on this unfilial son of his, if he didn't still care about clever and obedient Gu Nang, he would have cut off all ties with Gu Rong by now.
"Dad, Gu Nan is your own grandson, how can you...” Erniang hadn't finished being happy about this when she heard Grandfather say that he wouldn't care about them from now on, and she couldn't help but get anxious again.
She has always been thinking of her grandfather's private house, if the old man doesn't recognize them in the future, won't all that money fall into the pockets of Gu Mei and her daughter?
"Shut up! Our family doesn't know what sin we've committed to have married you into our family. Gu Nan is my grandson, I'm very clear about it in my heart, don't worry about it. Get out of here, I never want to see you again!" Grandfather yelled at Second Aunt without any politeness.
The second aunt's neck shrunk back, her eyes staring unwillingly.
She wasn't afraid of her grandfather, but rather that if things got too awkward, the old man might not give her what he had promised, and that would be a loss.
It's probably for the best. They've taken a lot of money from Old Master over the years. According to what Old Master meant today, from now on, they won't be involved in any matters related to birth, old age, sickness, or death concerning her and Gu Rong.
This old man was originally sick with many illnesses, unpredictable three days a small illness, five days a big illness to go to the hospital, don't care about their affairs that's just fine.
As for Old Master's private house...
Hmph, she still has Gu Nan, she's not afraid at all. What belongs to their family is theirs, no one else can take it away!
Such a result, Er Yi was still satisfied, but Er Shu was completely stunned.
Although he felt that his grandfather was a bit biased, he had not thought of having such a falling out with his own father, but today's situation left him momentarily stunned.
"Alright, you can go now. I'll give you the things tomorrow. From now on, if I don't call for you, don't come again." Grandfather waved his hand and didn't want to say anything more, leaning back in bed and closing his eyes.
He was already uncomfortable, and now he's had such a big blow-up, from head to toe, he's exhausted and needs a good rest.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you can leave now. Grandfather needs to rest." Gu Mian's disgust towards Second Uncle and Second Aunt had increased another level because of today's events.
Especially the second uncle, fortunately, Grandpa was still his biological father. Although he said that he was wrong with his mouth, in actual action, there was not a bit of meaning to admit his mistake, and he continued to protect his second aunt.
If the second uncle hears Grandpa say that he wants to divide things and asks the second uncle and aunt not to come over unless necessary, then immediately express his attitude, even if it's just pretending, saying he doesn't want those things, hoping Grandpa will forgive him, that would be a little better.
"Mmm..." Second Uncle opened his mouth, looked at Grandpa who had closed his eyes, and didn't know what to say.
"Second Uncle, don't make things difficult for me. I don't want to do something that will hurt people even more. You two wouldn't want to be thrown out of the hospital either?" Gu Mian looked at Second Uncle and Aunt with a expressionless face.
The second aunt has already achieved her goal and feels that staying here is meaningless, so she quietly pulls the second uncle away, letting him leave with her.
Second Uncle was still a bit dazed and was pulled away by Second Aunt without any resistance.
Gu Mei saw the situation and couldn't help but feel that it was a case of "the fire not being extinguished in one place", turned her head to look at Qin Sheng who was still in the ward, could only suppress her anger towards Er Shu and Er Shu's wife, and smiled at Qin Sheng: "I'm really sorry, let you see a joke."
"Nothing much, want to go out for some fresh air?" Qin Sheng asked.
Gu Mei looked at her mother and grandfather, her mother covered the quilt for her grandfather, and gestured to Gu Mei to follow Qin Sheng out for a walk.
It was supposed to be a walk outside, but in fact it was just the hospital garden. Today's weather wasn't very good, gloomy and cold, even the garden didn't have many people.
"Every family has its own unspeakable difficulties, don't take it to heart. What your grandfather did may not be a bad thing after all, at least it cut off some of their thoughts." Qin Sheng saw that Gu Mei's emotions were somewhat downcast and couldn't help but softly console her.
