Chapter 572: Gu Yunshu Worries About His Wife
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Eldest Sister, are you angry with Father?” Gu Yunshu said uneasily. “Father came back just now. I saw him enter the house alone. He’s so pitiful.”
He instantly felt that he had a huge responsibility. His father and eldest sister had a feud. As the eldest son in the family, he had the obligation to enlighten them so that the family could be harmonious and happy.
Yes, Gu Yunshu, work hard!
Gu Yundong was sitting in front of Shao Qingyuan’s bed. When she saw that his fever had subsided, she heaved a sigh of relief. She did not expect to hear her brother’s worried words.
She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What are you thinking? Your head isn’t big, but you’re thinking too much. Why is Eldest Sister angry with Father? Father didn’t deliberately let Brother Shao expose himself to the sun knowing that he was injured. This is an accident.”
Gu Yunshu nodded, not fully understanding. “Is that so?”
“Yes, you’ll know when you become a father.”
“Then I’ll get engaged and married as soon as possible. That way, I can become a father sooner.”
Gu Yundong was speechless. No, that was not what she meant.
Gu Dajiang couldn’t stand it anymore. He frowned and entered. “What nonsense are you talking about? You’re still so young, and you’re already thinking about getting a wife.”
This daughter had just gotten engaged, and his son was actually thinking of starting a family?
Gu Yunshu was unconvinced. “Father, I have a classmate who is only a year older than me. He is already engaged. He has a wife as soon as he is born. Why can’t I be engaged at my age? If Father had chosen a wife for me when I was born, I wouldn’t have to worry so much now.”
Gu Yundong turned her head. She wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it in.
She stood up and called out, “Father.”
Gu Dajiang nodded and decided not to talk to his annoying son.
He handed over the box in his hand. “Shao Qingyuan gave this to you. Keep it well and don’t return it to him.”
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows in surprise. She opened the box and took a look. Then, she laughed.
This was the second time she had received such a box.
Every time, Shao Qingyuan would put all his money into it. Was this person really counting on her to give him some living expenses?
She couldn’t help but turn her head and look at the man lying on the bed.
Unexpectedly, she met his dark eyes.
Gu Dajiang also realized that he was awake. He asked stiffly, “Are you feeling better?”
Shao Qingyuan moved slightly and wanted to sit up. However, Gu Dajiang rushed forward and reached out to stop him. He frowned and said, “Lie down. Don’t move around. Otherwise, the wound will open.”
Shao Qingyuan could only lie down again. He looked at Gu Dajiang and said, “Uncle Gu, I’m sorry.”
“Hmph.” Gu Dajiang snorted. “There won’t be a next time. Don’t try to trick me.”
“No.” Shao Qingyuan had never thought of using such a method to soften Gu Dajiang’s heart.
Coincidentally, he was injured deep in the mountains. As soon as he returned, he heard that Gu Dajiang was looking for him. He naturally had to visit him immediately, and he stood outside sincerely and willingly.
If he had said in advance that he was injured and could not stand for long, then anyone who heard him would think that he was looking for an excuse, not to mention Uncle Gu. He would show weakness and be irresponsible.
Even if it was the truth, it would leave a bad impression.
Gu Dajiang knew this too. He just felt vexed, especially when he saw his daughter standing by the bed looking very concerned about Shao Qingyuan.
Therefore, Gu Dajiang told him to rest well and planned to leave.
However, before he left, he suddenly paused and frowned. “When I went out just now, I met someone.”
