Gu Qinghuai thought of the original owner’s grandfather, Gu Guangzhi.

Although Old Man Gu is not a bad person by nature, he is too weak and incompetent. He indulges Liu Damai and is indifferent to family affairs and does not care about them.

Gu Qinghuai said indifferently: "Second Aunt is right, Old Man Gu has brought this upon himself, don't bother with him!"

"Huai'er, it's not like that. My father... has a good heart, but he was suppressed too harshly by my mother." Gu Xiang felt sorry for him. If his father hadn't been there when he was a child, he and his fourth brother would have been tortured to death by their mother.

When he was seven years old, he fell ill, and his mother refused to spend money on his treatment, so his father asked a barefoot doctor what medicine he needed, and then went up the mountain to dig herbs himself. It was raining heavily that day, and his father was outside in the rain all night, and he fell ill when he came back.

His mother didn't care about him, so his father boiled and fed him medicine while he had a high fever, and finally saved his life.

During that time, his mother said he was sick and couldn't eat, so she withheld his food rations. His father then went to the mountains to secretly pick "cat shit" for him to eat.

His father secretly told him that cat feces were nutritious and that if he ate them, his illness would be cured soon.

Mao Er Shi, also known as Mao Shi melon, is rich in nutrition. The flesh is rich in sugar, protein, fat, pectin, vitamins and mineral nutrients. It tastes as sweet as honey.

When my fourth brother was ten years old, he went into the mountains to hunt and was forced to hide in a tree by wolves. My mother didn't allow my father to go to find him, but my father insisted on going.

Dad was slapped several times by Mom, but he still went stubbornly. He took a carrying pole and fought with the wolf. He was bitten all over by the wolf before he rescued my fourth brother.

Dad taught the children how to read and write, but mom didn't want him and his fourth brother to learn. So dad said that if he didn't want the second and fourth brothers to learn, he might as well not teach any of the children.

His mother had no choice but to stop driving him and his fourth brother away.

Since when did father stop caring about him and his fourth brother?

Gu Xiang thought about it carefully and decided that it should have been after he and his fourth brother got married.

Since then, Dad has become a real invisible man in the family. Apart from working, he doesn't take care of anything at home.

After listening to Gu Xiang's story of the past, Gu Qinghuai and Su were both a little surprised.

They thought that Old Man Gu had always been indifferent to the second and fourth children, but it turned out that before they got married, they still had fatherly love.

Gu Xiang wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said in a sad voice: "In fact, the most pitiful person is my father."

He sniffed and began to tell the past between Gu Guangzhi and Liu Damai.

When Gu Guangzhi was ten years old, his entire family was exiled to Tuniu Village.

At that time, banditry, natural disasters, and border troubles were all very serious. The Gu family lived an extremely difficult life and were often bullied by the locals.

When Gu Guangzhi was fifteen years old, all his family members died and he was the only one left.

He was a poor young man who had no idea how to farm and had trouble making a living. If it weren't for the help from the Meng family, he would have almost starved to death.

Once, he went to Liu Damai's village to help people write couplets. Liu Damai was attracted to him because he was very handsome and a scholar.

But Gu Guangzhi didn't like Liu Damai at all. No matter how Liu Damai tried to please him, Gu Guangzhi just wouldn't agree.

Liu Damai asked his brothers to capture Gu Guangzhi and bring him home, where they beat him up first and then tied his limbs to the bed.

Liu Damai forced him to have sex with her, making the matter a done deal.

Gu Guangzhi had no choice but to marry Liu Damai.

Liu Damai, relying on the power of her mother's family, often beats and scolds Gu Guangzhi. If Gu Guangzhi dares to fight back, he will face even more brutal revenge from the Liu family.

"So that's how it is," Gu Qinghuai sighed.

Old man Gu was actually raped by Liu Damai!

Su also had a look of sudden enlightenment, she had never expected it to be like this.

Gu Xiang suddenly remembered something and patted his forehead. "Oh, right, one time, I accidentally heard my father and mother arguing. My mother scolded my father and asked if that woman died and your heart died with her? Huai'er, tell me, did my father have another woman outside?"

This time, Gu Qinghuai was even more shocked. He didn't expect that old man Gu had such a beautiful past.

She thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about that. I'll have to ask Old Man Gu. But, Uncle, I always feel that Liu Damai is very rude to you and my father. She protects Gu De, Gu Rui and Gu Tai, but treats you and my father worse than a stepmother. Don't you think this is strange?"

After hearing what Gu Qinghuai said, Su's expression changed slightly.

She compared the appearances of the five brothers of the Gu family in her mind.

The five brothers all look a bit like their father-in-law, but Gu De, Gu Rui and Gu Tai obviously look more like Liu Damai, while the man in the family and the fourth brother look more like Old Man Gu, and are more handsome than the other three brothers.

"Huai'er, could it be that... your second uncle and your father are not Liu Damai's biological sons?" Su made a bold guess.

Gu Xiang's heart skipped a beat.

This...how is this possible!

His father is so honest, it is impossible for him to do anything to let his mother down.

Gu Qinghuai's expression was calm. She had some suspicions a long time ago, but because she was too lazy to pay attention, she did not pursue it further.

If Gu Guangzhi really had another woman outside, that means he and that woman had the second child Gu Xiang and the fourth child Gu De, and then brought them home to raise?

Gu Xiang is 39 years old and Gu De is 37 years old. That means Gu Guangzhi and that woman have been together for at least three or four years?

Gu Guangzhi is weak and incompetent, and Liu Damai controls him very strictly. How can he have the opportunity to find another woman?

I'm afraid only Liu Damai and Old Man Gu know what the truth is.

Gu Xiang scratched his hair and frowned, "I also heard a story from the elders in the village. My mother heard that my father had relatives in the capital, so she wanted to go there to live with them. When my eldest brother was four years old, my mother forced my father to take the three of us to the capital to find those relatives. They were gone for three or four years. Later, they suddenly returned to Tuniu Village, saying that they were driven back by those relatives. It was during those three or four years that my mother gave birth to me, Gu Rui, and Gu Heng."

Gu Qinghuai's eyes flickered, "Three children in four years?"

"Yeah," Gu Xiang nodded.

Gu Qinghuai chuckled: "There must be something wrong here, Second Uncle, if you have time, go ask Old Man Gu. He must know the truth."

Gu Qinghuai would love nothing more than to have his father and second uncle completely sever their blood relationship with Liu Damai.

That nasty old hag Liu Damai disgusts her even in her genes.

Gu Xiang sighed, "I asked my father, but he refused to say anything. Moreover, when I asked him about those four years, he seemed very scared."

What Gu Qinghuai and Su didn't know was that Gu Xiang had been secretly sending food to Old Man Gu.

"Very scared?" Gu Qinghuai was a little puzzled.

"Yes!" Gu Xiang nodded affirmatively, "My father told me to never mention those four years again."

Gu Qinghuai smiled faintly: "Forget it. Anyway, our second and fourth branches have already separated from the old Gu family house and severed ties with them. It doesn't matter what happened in the past."

Su nodded: "Yes, let's look forward and not talk about the past. Husband, you and fourth brother are already so old, even if you have a biological mother, she may not be alive anymore."
