Chapter 931: Chapter 931: Miscarriage 4

"Have you not caused enough trouble for the Gu Family?" Grandma Gu looked at Gu En with a heart full of pain, "When you first came to the Gu Family, you were so well-behaved and obedient. How did it turn out that the more you grew, the more you became like this? The Gu Family kept you, cared for you, cherished you, was it wrong? In the end, did we just nurture you into a calamity for the Gu Family?"

"Grandma, I swear, I won’t do it again, Grandma, please, forgive me!" Gu En immediately knelt down, pleading earnestly with Grandma Gu. Seeing that Grandma Gu remained unmoved, she turned her gaze to Chief Gu and Mother Gu.

"Dad, Mom, won’t you forgive me either? I know Grandpa died because of my angering him; even a thousand cuts would not absolve my guilt. But, Dad and Mom, won’t you please not drive me away? At least, can you let me see Grandpa laid to rest before driving me away?"

Watching his daughter kneeling on the ground crying and begging for forgiveness, Chief Gu’s heart softened after a long silence, and finally he said to Grandma Gu, "Mom, can we wait until after we lay Dad to rest before making arrangements? Although Dad was hospitalized because of Xiao’en’s anger this time, Dad has always been very fond of Xiao’en in the past. Dad, having passed away, would surely wish for his granddaughter Xiao’en to see him off."

Thinking of the scenes of old Master Gu holding little Gu En, teaching her how to sing military songs line by line, Grandma Gu, in the end, did not insist on sending Gu En back to the countryside.

The day after receiving the news of old Master Gu’s passing, people from the capital with connections to the Gu Family came to the Gu residence. Over one night, the Gu home was already draped in white, mourning the death of a loved one everywhere.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, I’ve brought you breakfast!"

He Dongxue got up early in the morning to go to the market to buy groceries. Knowing that He Zhilan needed nourishment after her miscarriage, she even bought a pigeon to stew for He Zhilan and brought it to the hospital. Seeing that He Zhilan was awake, her spirits lifted, and she walked in, asking, "Sister-in-law, how do you feel? Much better?"

He Zhilan leaned weakly on He Teng and nodded gently, but in truth, she had not slept well all night.

Closing her eyes, as soon as she fell asleep, she would dream of a naive child and the silhouette of an old man. An old person and a young child, holding hands, walking into darkness, gradually leaving her field of vision until they disappeared, and then, bit by bit, materializing again before her eyes, the images in her mind becoming so clear she could even make out the aged skin on Grandpa’s hand, over and over, from clear to vague to unseen, and clear again, in an endless cycle.

And so, her heart ached all night long, she shed tears all night long. During this repeated yearning, repeatedly imploring them to turn back, she endured the entire night.

"Sister-in-law, I’ve made some pigeon soup for you, just added some goji berries and red dates, but, you know my cooking skills are indeed a bit embarrassing, so if it tastes bad, you’ll just have to make do~" He Dongxue chatted with He Zhilan on the bed while deftly serving the soup to He Zhilan.

"Do you have to go to work so early to buy groceries?" He Zhilan moved a little, sat up straight against the wall, took the pigeon soup handed over by He Dongxue, and smiled gently, warming slightly inside at He Dongxue’s somewhat bashful words.

Every time the Gu Family hurt her, the ones who ended up taking care of her were always from the He Family.

He Zhilan did not know whether the Gu Family had given her one life and then greedily demanded that she repay with two?

After all, was what she owed the Gu Family, indeed, fully repaid yet?
