Chapter 170 Mother
Chapter 170 Mother
The excitement faded away and the place became deserted. The broom in Old Lady Gu's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, attracting everyone's attention.
"Come in first." Old Mrs. Gu walked in front, with her back straight, looking particularly energetic.
Gu Fanggui gave instructions to his men and followed Zhao Qiqi in.
The store was naturally not a place to discuss business, so Gu Fanggui followed him into the lobby of the house and was slightly surprised.
"Can you remember anything?"
Last time, Zhao Qiqi told Old Lady Gu that if Gu Fanggui remembered anything, he would come over and asked her to rest assured. At that time, she thought her eldest daughter-in-law was just comforting her, but she didn't expect that her son would really come back.
When Old Mrs. Gu saw Gu Fang returning from outside, she didn't show any strong emotions, but now as she sat down, tears unconsciously rolled down her eyes.
Gu Fanggui looked at it, his heart was not at peace, but he still shook his head: "This old lady, I really can't remember anything."
"But I do feel somewhat familiar with you."
He spoke the truth, hoping that the old man would not be so sad, but he was also worried that his words were too direct and would make people emotionally fluctuate too much.
Old Mrs. Gu wiped away her tears, and her expression was no longer as pessimistic as when she first saw Gu Fanggui coming back: "Okay, okay, it's okay, take your time, as long as you are willing to come here, it means..."
Mrs. Gu did not say the next words.
Zhao Qiqi took over the conversation and made a decisive decision: "Master Gu."
Her cold and hard attitude surprised both Mrs. Gu and Gu Fanggui.
"Mrs. Zhao, just say whatever you want to say." Gu Fanggui's polite yet distant attitude hurt Mrs. Gu a little.
"You have lost your memory, and the word Gu embroidered on your clothes is the only thing that gives you a sense of belonging. Now I have taken out a piece of clothing that I embroidered with the same word Gu. Your reaction should be the same, right? If so, what else do you not understand? What are you hesitating about?"
Gu Fanggui wanted to explain his hesitation and uneasiness, but Zhao Qiqi ignored him and continued, "It doesn't matter to me. I believe that with your current status and position, you will not be with a country woman. It doesn't matter. We can divorce. But with such an elderly and loving mother in front of you and five children waiting at home, may I ask, Master Gu, even if you are the prime minister, you dare not fail to fulfill your filial duties, right? That's all I have to say. Mother has been worried about you for many years. You two should talk it over."
Zhao Qiqi walked out briskly, breathed a sigh of relief, and made things clear. Finally, she would not be affected by this incident. Of course, the most important thing was to make the divorce issue clear.
Her quick steps away seemed to Old Lady Gu and Gu Fanggui like they were too sad to face it. They were indeed mother and son, as one showed a distressed expression and the other remained silent.
"You...don't take Qiqi's words to heart. She was just saying that out of anger. You don't know that since you left, she has become completely different. Our family has become better and better because of her." Old Mrs. Gu has now completely changed her opinion of Zhao Qiqi, and her words and actions are all about her.
"I, I know, mother."
Old Mrs. Gu was a little dazed. She heard it, but she just couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe that her son, who had been missing for many years, had really returned to her safely.
She stood up excitedly and reached out to Gu Fanggui's hand with trembling hands. The old lady was actually in good health, but she was too excited at the moment and could not control her movements.
Holding her son's hand, the warmth from Gu Lin's hand made her realize that this was not a dream. Or rather, this warm hand reminded her that she was awake. But the dream came true. Her son, her Gu Lin, was finally back.
"Mom is so happy."
Old Mrs. Gu waved her hands and told him not to be nervous. She was just too excited and tears came to her eyes. However, this time they were tears of excitement and happiness, not the kind that woke her up in the middle of the night or when she had trouble falling asleep. She was not even afraid to let others hear the tears.
When Gu Fanggui saw Old Madam Gu like this, his heart tightened. He understood that this was a purely spontaneous reaction and could not be wrong.
"Mom, don't cry. Although I can't remember these things now, I know that you are my mother. Don't worry, I will accompany you back to Gujia Village to see if I can remember anything. But whether I remember it or not, it doesn't matter. You are my mother."
Gu Fanggui comforted the old lady again and again to calm her emotions. Old lady Gu nodded with relief. She knew that among all her sons, this eldest son was the most filial.
She trusted him the most.
When the mother and son came out, Zhao Qiqi had someone prepare food: "Master Gu, please stay and have dinner."
Old Madam Gu opened her mouth, trying to stop her from saying these alienating words, but Zhao Qiqi blocked her back: "Mother, let's wait until Master Gu regains his memory before we talk about anything else. Everyone has their own choices."
Everyone thought that Zhao Qiqi was talking about Gu Fanggui, who is now the county magistrate and has a different status than before. He is in a high position and Zhao Qiqi is in a low position.
But what Zhao Qiqi meant was that she had her own choice. As a well-educated woman in the 21st century, even if she came here, she would not be forced to stay with Gu Fanggui because of her original identity. What she wanted to do was to make a fortune! Become rich and become the first generation of rich people!
This is difficult for her to achieve in modern times, but in ancient times, with the help of the system, she believes that this day will not be too far away.
Old Mrs. Gu nodded and took a seat.
Gu Xiaohua looked left and right, and couldn't believe it. The county magistrate was actually her uncle. Not to mention the county magistrate, even a figure like the head of the village was a very remarkable person in her heart.
If the county magistrate became her uncle, would no one dare to bully them in the future? She ate the delicious meal happily. Well, Lu Ju's dishes have become more and more delicious these days under the training of her aunt.
After finishing the meal, Mrs. Gu was reluctant to see Gu Fanggui leave. After all, he had not recovered his memory, so Mrs. Gu felt insecure and always felt that this might be like a flash in the pan.
"You guys go back, I want to talk to Lin'er for a few more words."
Obviously, it was Old Lady Gu who suddenly thought of something and wanted to give instructions to Gu Fanggui, and this could not be heard by anyone else.
"Lin'er, you have to know that you are Qiqi's husband and the father of the children. Before certain things happen, you must take responsibility and do something."
As what?
What Mrs. Gu meant was naturally that Gu Fanggui could not return to his identity as Gu Lin while still being entangled with Miss Fu.
