Chapter 23: Cutting off descendants

    The way the girl lowered her eyebrows and tightly tugged on the hem of Qin Qing’s clothes made Gu Jiang feel guilty. Of course, this guilt was not because of Sun Songxin’s dirty thoughts towards her, but because Gu Jiang felt guilty for jumping on Sun Songxin in the first place and ignoring Gu Yuwei.

    Mr. and Mrs. Gujiang stayed up all night last night. Something like this happened to Sun Songxin. Even though they were sent to the hospital by the couple, Sun Ming was the only son. If something happened, they would have no descendants. How could Mr. and Mrs. Gujiang not be anxious.

    The lights in the emergency room were on all night, and Sun Songxin cried inside all night. Later, he got tired of crying and finally stopped under the influence of anesthetic.At dawn, the lights in the emergency room were turned off, but what they brought to Gu Jiang and his wife was heartbreaking news.Sun Songxin became decadent and lost weight overnight, and his eyes were no longer bright.

    Gu Jiang and his wife asked a lot of questions, but Sun Songxin didn’t mention a word.The incident happened suddenly, and the couple didn’t know what was going on. When they were worried, they remembered that Gu Yuwei was still alone at home.Gu Jiang and Sun Ming discussed it to avoid Sun Songxin, but finally felt uneasy. Sun Songxin made a lot of noise last night, and Gu Yuwei would not have missed it.

    But at that time, the couple was busy sending Sun Songxin to the hospital and didn’t pay attention. However, they didn’t know that Gu Yuwei had already run out of the house at that time.Sun Ming responded and stayed in the hospital, while Gu Jiang went home, but he didn’t expect that Gu Yuwei was not there for a long time. Apart from the mess and blood stains from last night, nothing in the house had changed.

    Gu Jiang thought for a while, then went out and headed towards Qin Qing’s house.Qin Qing’s affection for Gu Yuwei has been noticed by Gu Jiang and his wife over the years. After Gu Yuwei was in high school, she would go to Qin Qing’s house every weekend during the holidays.

    In this way, there is the current scene.

    Gu Yuwei’s words were hesitant and vague.Gu Jiang thought the child was frightened and said, “Since Xiaowei is with Teacher Qin, my aunt is relieved.” Gu Jiang looked at Qin Qing. Qin Qing’s eyes were not friendly, and she was obviously still grudged about Sun Songxin.Gu Jiang didn’t know this. The woman was a simple and honest woman, so she thought Qin Qing was worried about Gu Yuwei. She couldn’t tell Qin Qing clearly about Sun Songxin, after all, it was hard to talk about it.

    “Xiaowei.” Gu Jiang lowered his head, and a few more white hairs fell on Gu Yuwei’s eyes, piercing her eyes.Gu Jiang and his wife have always been very kind to her.Gu Jiang paused, not knowing what to say.Sun Songxin could not be cured, but how could Gu Jiang and his wife give up? They heard from the attending doctor that the medical conditions and facilities in the city were much better than those in the county. There might be cases to follow in this regard, and it would be a good idea to go and take a look.

    A fish out of water is still struggling with its tail, let alone a human being.

    When Gu Jiang came back to see Gu Yuwei, he wanted to tell her this. She was worried about Sun Songxin and couldn’t let go of Gu Yuwei. When Gu Yuwei and Gu Tao lived together, life was not very good. Although Gu Jiang didn’t know the details, he had grown up watching Gu Tao, his younger brother. How could Gu Jiang not know his nature?So after Gu Yuwei arrived at Sun’s house, she tried her best to make up for Gu Yuwei for Gu Tao.

    She didn’t expect that something like this happened suddenly.

    Sun Songxin kept silent, but Gu Jiang couldn’t help but tremble every time he looked at his son’s face.The couple felt very sorry for their son. They didn’t care too much about what Sun Songxin did. Gradually, they became less and less aware of what their son was thinking.

    “Aunt, how is your cousin?” Gu Yuwei let go of Qin Qing’s clothes and stepped forward to approach Gu Jiang.Gu Jiang nodded and looked at Qin Qing, wanting to say something.Gu Yuwei looked back at Qin Qing, with guilt for Gu Jiang in her eyes.Thinking of what Xiaowei told him last night, Qin Qing’s heart was also tangled. Seeing Gu Jiang like this, Xiaowei should be tough.There is only one son in the Sun family, how could Qin Qing not know about it.

    “I heard Xiaowei mention it about Sun Songxin.” Qin Qing said and looked at Gu Jiang.Gu Jiang’s face stiffened for a moment, but he didn’t say anything.Qin Qing continued, “I will take care of Xiaowei during this period. I originally planned to discuss this matter with you and your wife today, but now that someone is here, it’s just right.”

    Qin Qing was already polite and kept holding back her anger. If Gu Yuwei hadn’t been shaking her head at the side, she wouldn’t have spoken so tactfully.Of course, what’s more, Qin Qing is still concerned about Gu Yuwei’s mood, and is worried that telling Gu Jiang about this will remind Gu Yuwei of some unpleasant scenes.

    Gu Jiang’s face relaxed when he heard this, “Then thank you, Teacher Qin. Xiaowei is a sensible child. Since she is Teacher Qin, her uncle and I can rest assured.” Gu Jiang hesitated before speaking, and reached out to hold Gu Yuwei’s arms.

    The calluses on the woman’s palms were very thick, and it was very uncomfortable to rest on Gu Yuwei’s white and smooth arms.

    “Xiaowei, your cousin is not feeling well. Your uncle and I have no choice but to take him to the city for a visit. Xiaowei…” Gu Jiang choked up as he spoke, and the tears in the corners of his eyes could no longer be stopped. Gu Jiang stretched out his hand to wipe them away, “Xiaowei, it’s my aunt who can’t help you. She hasn’t taken good care of you in the past few years, and now it’s because of your cousin…”

    Qin Qing pursed her lips and frowned. According to Gu Jiang’s words, the couple didn’t know what Sun Songxin did to Xiaowei.She wanted to speak several times, but Gu Yuwei’s words last night always came to Qin Qing’s mind –

    “My aunt and uncle have been very good to me over the years. I am very grateful to them. Teacher Qin…I, I don’t want to make my aunt and uncle sad.”

    Qin Qing didn’t say anything after all.

    Gu Yuwei reached out and hugged the woman in front of her. She understood that although Sun Songxin had that kind of thoughts towards her, Gu Jiang and his wife did not know that even if “it is the fault of a son not to teach his father”, Gu Yuwei was soft-hearted towards Gu Jiang.

    “Aunt, don’t say that. My aunt and uncle have been very good to Xiaowei in the past few years. There are many things that my aunt doesn’t say. I know that there are difficulties for my aunt. I don’t blame my aunt. I am old and can take care of myself. My aunt and uncle don’t have to worry about me. I still have Teacher Qin.” Gu Yuwei let go of Gu Jiang and turned around and smiled at Qin Qing.

    Qin Qing’s heart seemed to be held warmly by someone. When Qin Qing met Gu Yuwei’s eyes, her frown gradually relaxed.

    Hearing this, Gu Jiang was relieved, cried softly again, and reached out to touch Gu Yuwei’s head.

    Everything is left unsaid.

    After this incident, Gu Jiang and his wife took Sun Songxin out of Linqi County and headed to Binhai City.The Sun’s house that was originally filled with people suddenly became empty and quiet, but Gu Yuwei didn’t feel sad. This was the best result.She didn’t care whether Sun Songxin could be cured or not. She also remembered how kind Gu Jiang and his wife were to her, but no one would treat others unconditionally. Gu Yuwei also knew it very well. The kindness of Gu Jiang and his wife to her just changed from the initial subsidies and policies to sincerity.

    But this sincerity cannot escape subsidies and policies, even Sun Songxin’s medical expenses.

    Just because Gu Yuwei didn’t tell her didn’t mean that she didn’t know. It was precisely because of this that Gu Yuwei didn’t feel uncomfortable, because the kindness Gu Jiang and his wife had been to her over the years was not unconditional. She had indeed made Sun Songxin miserable for the rest of his life, but what difference did it make if Gu Jiang and his wife took the assistance subsidy that was supposed to be Gu Yuwei’s adult life to seek medical treatment for Sun Songxin?

    It’s just a transaction. Gu Yuwei thinks clearly and won’t waste time and energy on this matter. She is so rational that it makes people feel ruthless.

    However, Gu Yuwei was so enlightened that she never thought about why the person in front of her would treat her unconditionally.

    The days when Qin Qing’s family was stable were the happiest times for Gu Yuwei.There are many courses in the senior year of high school, and the number of times I meet Qin Qing is only on short weekends.No. 1 Middle School has weekend make-up classes. School is over at noon on Saturdays, and students have self-study in the evenings on weekends. Therefore, when they spend the night at Qin Qing’s house, it is only on Saturdays.

    Of course, except for winter vacation.

    After the winter vacation, the countdown to the college entrance examination begins.Half a year had passed since Sun Songxin’s incident. Gu Yuwei didn’t know exactly how Gu Jiang’s family was in Binhai City. At first, Gu Jiang would call every week to inquire about Gu Yuwei’s situation, but then it gradually became once a month, and then there was no news for several months.

    Gu Yuwei did not take the initiative to call back, but from Gu Jiang’s increasingly gloomy and low tone, she could guess that Sun Songxin could not be cured.

    On New Year’s Day, it snowed all night in Linqi County, which had not happened in several years.Qin Qing doesn’t seem to have any relatives in Linqi County except Qin An’an’s family, at least this is what Gu Yuwei knows so far.The taste of the New Year has also brought a bit of joy to Qin Qing’s family. Throughout the New Year, Gu Yuwei and Qin Qing stayed at home, and occasionally went out to experience the taste of the New Year.

    In the last two months of the college entrance examination, everything is going on.

    On the day she got home, Qin Qing was not there. Gu Yuwei put her schoolbag on the sofa, and Qin Qing’s glasses were randomly placed on the coffee table.Gu Yuwei put away her glasses. Gu Yuwei’s thoughts were not far away. When she first met Qin Qing, she was not short-sighted and did not have glasses. When did it start?Gu Yuwei couldn’t remember.

    Time passed so quickly that Gu Yuwei didn’t notice it. She and Qin Qing had known each other for four or five years.Looking at everything at home, Gu Yuwei was shocked to realize that it felt like a lifetime ago, but the corners of her mouth gradually raised.

    A lot has changed in reality. I heard that after Gu Yuwei graduated this year, she started taking extra classes in the third year of junior high school.This year, Gu Yuwei is in her third year of high school, which is also the third year of junior high school taught by Qin Qing. Naturally, she will be much busier.

    Gu Yuwei recovered her thoughts, stood up and went out.Ever since Meng Yuanshuang found out about Xu Xu, Gu Yuwei had always wanted to ask Xu Xu face to face about something she didn’t dare to imagine.Unfortunately, I have been stuck on Sun Songxin’s matter before.

    Hongke Bar is located on the left bank of Linqi River. There is a “Left Bank Coffee” shop not far from the bar.Gu Yuwei has been wandering near Hong Ke several times, but she has never seen Xu Xu’s shadow.Sitting in the coffee shop, Gu Yuwei took off her school uniform jacket and tied it around her waist.Customers come and go from time to time outside the bar.

    Gu Yuwei got bored of waiting, so she started tracing on the paper with a pen.The face of the person on the paper gradually became clearer, every eyebrow, every temple, every eye and every lip, all with extreme care. Gu Yuwei didn’t know how many times she had painted this kind of tracing. The corners of the painter’s lips slowly raised, and the stray hair from time to time was brushed up and tucked behind the ears. Looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows made people unable to take their eyes away.
