A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

After Gu Qinghuan came back, she thought about it over and over again and felt that something was not right. There must be a reason for Gu Yunchuan's final instructions.

He is the kind of person who would never waste his last moments saying useless things.

It seems that I have to meet the original body's grandmother to find out the whole story.

That afternoon, the two followed their memory and found the alley where the old lady lived. The alley was winding and she didn't know the way anymore. She asked several people before she found the old lady's house.

She seemed to have expected Gu Qinghuan to come.

"Child, I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown up so much. How is Lanting? Is this your man?" The old lady looked at her with her dim eyes, as if she was looking through her to another person.

"Grandma, Lanting didn't come because of something else. I will bring him to see you another day.

Let me introduce you, this is Xu Huaian."

Xu Huaian nodded slightly: "Hello, grandma."

"Great! You look really energetic, young man. I heard from your father the other day that you got married in the countryside, and I was worried all the time. It seems that I was worrying for nothing. The young man is great, I hope you two will live a good life in the future."

The old lady held their hands together and smiled gently.

"Grandma...Gu...my dad..." Gu Qinghuan didn't know how to tell the old lady about Gu Yunchuan's arrest, worried that she couldn't bear it.

The old lady sighed, as if she already knew something.

"I'm old now, I can't care so much, this is his own destiny, if it is destined to happen, it will happen, if it is not destined to happen, don't force it.

He asked you to come, didn't he?"

"How do you know?" Gu Qinghuan asked puzzledly.

The old lady got up, took out a small box from the room, and stuffed it into Gu Qinghuan's arms.

"He came to see me a few days ago. We haven't talked for a long time. He did a lot of stupid things in his life. Now that he's in prison, you should forget about the past.

He asked me to help keep this money. If anything happens to him one day, he asked me to give it to you and Lanting.

It is also his confession to you as a father.

But I didn't expect it to come so soon." The old lady still missed her son after all.

Gu Qinghuan opened the box. The money seemed to be quite a lot. It should be a backup plan left by Gu Yunchuan. She didn't expect that in the end, he would actually give his belongings to her and Lan Ting instead of Xia Shuhua.

How should I put it? It was unexpected, but I wasn’t moved. The belated affection is cheaper than grass.

She is not the original body, and whatever Gu Yunchuan does has nothing to do with her. It's a pity that the original body cannot feel this belated family affection.

It's ridiculous to think about it. When people were around, he just turned a blind eye. Now that the original body is gone, what's the point of him pretending to be so righteous?

The old lady gave them the things, closed the door and refused to see them, then sat down cross-legged and started beating the wooden fish.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to invite her to live with them in the future. After the small western-style house was taken back, Lanting would continue to study in Beijing, and the two of them could depend on each other.

But the little old lady refused.

She said that now that the present matter was over and the past was cut off, she could finally serve the Buddha with peace of mind.

Everyone has their own destiny. Now that destiny is over, there is no need for her to worry about it.

In the end, she forgot how she walked out of the alley and felt mixed emotions.

They certainly could not accept Gu Yunchuan's stolen money with peace of mind, and I believe Lan Ting would definitely not accept it either.

On the way back, when they passed by the welfare home, Gu Qinghuan got off the car directly and went to the welfare home to donate the money.

After the donation, the two felt relaxed and smiled at each other.

When he returned home in the evening, Gu Qinghuan told Gu Lanting about this matter, and Gu Lanting naturally agreed with their approach.

No matter how poor he is, he would never use such dirty money. It would be better to use it to do good deeds and end up with a clean conscience.

The two did not expect Gu Yunchuan to be caught so quickly, but it was also reasonable. The net of heaven is vast and long, and nothing can escape it.

Gu Qinghuan didn't eat much at lunch today, and she was so busy in the afternoon that she forgot to eat her stomach. When she got home from work in the evening, she felt so hungry that she could eat a cow.

Speaking of beef, I haven't eaten beef for a long time. It just so happens that there are a lot of beef rolls and mutton rolls in the refrigerator of the villa. This stuff is delicious for hot pot.

Winter is coming and it is already very cold in the morning and evening. Eating a hotpot can warm your whole body and dry it out.

Gu Qinghuan sent Gu Lanting out to take care of the baby, while she and Xu Huaian were busy preparing food in the kitchen.

It just so happened that the city used coal stoves, which made it convenient for eating hot pot. It was also simple to prepare the dishes, you just had to wash them and bring them over and put them directly into the pot.

In order to cater to the tastes of our two children, we are having tomato-flavored hot pot today. The hot pot ingredients are available in the villa, and if not, we can buy them from the vending machine.

There are plenty of beef rolls and mutton rolls, as well as tripe and shrimps. Add some meatballs, quail eggs, vermicelli, lotus root slices, kelp, mushrooms and other seasonal vegetables to make up a small hot pot.

If she wasn't worried about Lan Ting getting suspicious, she would have wanted to eat a lot of other ingredients, such as duck intestines, pig brains, and ham sausages...

I even want to have a hotpot for two, because hotpot is only enjoyable when it is spicy.

It's a pity that Xu Huaian wouldn't let her, so she wasn't satisfied this time. However, Xu Huaian promised her that after returning to her hometown, they would also burn a kiln of charcoal to use for heating the stove in winter and eating hot pot. At that time, they would arrange a double-flavored hotpot so that they could enjoy the meal to their heart's content.

It is this simple version of hot pot that has amazed everyone including Xu Huaian.

"It's delicious, sister. How did you come up with this idea? Eating from the pot this way not only keeps it warm, but it also tastes better the more you eat it." Lan Ting chewed with big mouthfuls.

Dabao and Beibei, the two fans, also excitedly shouted that it was delicious and their mom was really amazing.

Xu Huaian simply kept silent and buried his head in eating to show his attitude.

Xu Huaian still went to see Xiao Zhuo every day. Through various psychological treatments, Xiao Zhuo also taught him many ways to control his emotions.

With the help of the special medicine and spiritual spring water prepared by Gu Qinghuan, his illness has not recurred for some time. However, he still has no clue where to go for the lost memory, and no matter what he has tried, there has been little success.

Gu Qinghuan also began to work on taking back the small villa.

Gu Yunchuan's debt has nothing to do with her. Nowadays, there is no such thing as a son paying for his father's debt. He has to bear the consequences of his crime himself. At most, it may have something to do with Xia Shuhua, but it has nothing to do with her.

The worst that could happen is that people would point fingers at her and gossip about her, which wouldn't affect her life. Her original self and Lan Ting had already endured many similar rumors in the past, so this wouldn't matter.

You live your own life, and you don't need others to judge whether it is good or bad.

Having a criminal father means that the worst that can happen is that you can't go into politics or join the army in the future. Anyway, Lan Ting has no interest in this and she won't do it.

If Gu Yunchuan wasn't so short-sighted and mean-spirited, he could have lived a comfortable life with the help of the Zhong family's network of connections, but he chose to narrow his own path.

Gu Qinghuan originally took the title deeds of the two villas to the jurisdiction where the villas were located to report the case, but he did not expect that the leader of the jurisdiction, a police officer named Xu Lei, was actually Zhong Zijun's former classmate.

People recognized her identity based on her unique face. Not only did they receive her warmly, they also took the initiative to lead a police team to help her solve the problem.

Zhong Zijun has a gentle personality, is kind and generous, and is sincere to others. When Xu Lei was studying, he was poor and his family could not afford the tuition, but he had good grades and studied hard.

Zhong Zijun learned about his situation and in order not to embarrass him, she secretly sponsored his studies. Xu Lei only found out about this many years later.

The causes planted many years ago have borne fruit now. Cause and effect are cyclical and retribution will always come.

A group of people rushed into the small western-style building where Wu Ma lived with guns and took everyone inside under control.

When Wu Ma's grandchildren saw the police officers in wide-brimmed hats, they started crying loudly, fearing that they would be taken away.

The moment Gu Qinghuan walked in slowly, Aunt Wu took a few steps back in shock as if she had seen something horrifying.

"Auntie Wu, long time no see. How have you been lately?" Gu Qinghuan's bright smile was scarier than a murderous ghost in Auntie Wu's eyes.

"Miss...Miss, why are you here?" Aunt Wu stuttered.

"If I hadn't come here, how would I know that you were occupying my home and living such a comfortable life.

Wearing homespun clothes and sitting on this leather sofa is really not a good match!" Gu Qinghuan touched the leather sofa in the living room with interest.

These things should have been purchased by Zhong Zijun in the past, and they became a bargain for these evil people.

Wu Ma saw that she even brought the police with her, and it was obvious that she was here to settle the score. She was also a flexible person, so she knelt down with a plop, crying and snotting, "I'm sorry, Miss. I was blinded by greed."

After saying that, he slapped himself hard.

Gu Qinghuan felt embarrassed for her.

Xu Lei was not in a hurry to arrest her, obviously giving her time to speak.

"I think you are not blinded by greed, but you are black-hearted!

When you were a nanny in my house, my mother treated you well, right?

I understand that you have many grandchildren in your family, so every time I come home, I will save a portion of the delicious food and drinks for you.

During the Chinese New Year and other holidays, you are allowed to go home and reunite with your family. In daily life, you are also allowed to make your own decisions on some small matters, and you are treated as half a family member.

I even entrusted you with such an important house.

Is this how you repay her?

Good people are often bullied, good horses are often ridden, what is meant by taking advantage of an inch, I have seen it in you!"

As she spoke, Aunt Wu also recalled the past days and fell to the ground crying. Gu Qinghuan was right, she was just a black-hearted person.

Human greed is unsatisfactory. Before she went to the Gu family, she thought that having a job to make a living was great. After seeing the luxurious life of rich people, she was unwilling to accept that, so after Zhong Zijun entrusted her house to her, she had evil intentions.

In fact, she has not had a good life in the past few years. Although she lives in a big house and can collect rent from another one, she is always afraid that Zhong Zijun will come back.

At night she always dreamed that Zhong Zijun called her a bitch and ungrateful.

"My mother has taken care of you and your siblings for many years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Miss Gu, it won't be a big deal if you let us stay for a while. Why do you have to make such a big fuss and make a big deal out of it?" Wu Ma's youngest son said with a smile.

Gu Qinghuan was so angry that he laughed.
