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 brotherâs family, she still wanted to keep an eye on them.
She didnât 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.
âThis Zhenzhen!â The Gu family was shocked.
Could it be that drunken River Restaurant was opened by the county magistrateâs woman? Why is the business so bad?
âGrandmother, mother, I want to follow father!â After alighting from the ox-cart, Gu Xin did not want to go with them.
âEh? Why?â Cai Xiaolian asked, puzzled.
âMother, come down a little. Iâll tell you in secret.â Gu Xin glanced at Gu shouxin, then tugged at Cai Xiaolianâs sleeve and whispered.
Cai Xiaolian bent down and put her ear to Gu Xinâs mouth.
Gu Xin whispered,âwhen I passed by the gambling den just now, I saw father looking inside. Mother, Iâll follow father. I wonât let him go in.â
Cai Xiaolian laughed. This child!
âAlright, you follow father and watch him. When I close the deal, Iâll buy some cloth and go home to make you some new clothes!â Cai Xiaolian touched Gu Xinâs 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? â Gu shouxin held Gu Xinâs little hand and asked, feeling hurt.
âNo, no, I didnât. I believe in father.â Gu Xin quickly shook her head and broke into a wide smile, â Iâm just afraid that youâll be bored out there alone. Iâll accompany you.
âThat Xinxin is really great! His father was very happy. Donât worry, Xinxin, daddy has such a good daughter, I really wonât go gambling again.â Gu shouxin didnât expose Gu Xin, but promised her again.
Father, itâs Xinxinâs fault. She shouldnât have doubted you. Gu Xin lowered her head and suddenly felt guilty that she shouldnât have doubted her father who had changed for the better.
Gu shouxin squatted down and looked at Gu Xin, â âXinxin didnât do anything wrong. It was her fatherâs 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 wonât let Xinxin down in the future.â
Gu Xinâs eyes lit up and she nodded her head vigorously, â âYes, I believe in you, father!â
âLetâs go! Iâll take you to the study. Letâs go there and buy some ink and brush. Iâll use that place to teach Xinxin how to write and complete todayâs task!â Gu shouxin tidied up Gu Xinâs 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.
âGranny sun, sheâs here. Is it convenient for Madam to see you now?â Butler Qian was very polite to granny sun.
âYes, old Qian, you can go! Iâll take them to see Madam!â Granny sun sized up the three of them, then nodded.
