"Changsheng? What's wrong? Did something happen to my second uncle?"
"..."
Not sure if it was too cold, Changsheng shivered several times before speaking with difficulty.
"Grandpa, he asked you to come over."
Boss Gu's heart suddenly sank. Boss Gu had such a stubborn temperament that if it weren't for a special situation, he wouldn't have called them over at all!
The gloomy-looking Boss Gu immediately arranged for his wife and children to go to Lao Gutou's home, and also asked several well-respected people in the village who were in good health to go to the end of the village.
At this time, Boss Gu carefully wiped the ice marks on Chang Sheng's face. They were all traces of tears frozen on his face. Obviously, the child had cried uncontrollably on the way here. Looking at such a child, Gu
The eldest son also felt sour in his heart. In the winter of last year, he sent away his parents. In the winter of this year, he first sent away his aunt, and now his only direct elder must also go with him? He is the only one left.
This is the next elder...
When a group of people arrived at Lao Gutou's home, what they saw was Lao Gutou sitting on the bed with his eyes empty. It seemed that he heard the movement, and he looked up with a slightly surprised expression, as if he did not expect to come.
So many people. After all, he has such a bad temper. There is no one in the village, old or young, who has not been told by him, even Boss Gu. If it were not for his longevity, he would not even want to call him Boss Gu.
"We're all here, then take a seat."
Chang Sheng emerged from the crowd and leaned gently against the bed, showing a sad expression. Is grandpa going to leave just like that? She doesn't want to let grandpa go. She also wants to take good care of grandpa when she grows up and let him enjoy peace.
In old age.
Seeing Chang Sheng's tears streaming down his face, Lao Gutou felt a little disgusted, but it was time to stop hating others. So he brushed Chang Sheng's head and showed a sad smile.
It was enough to live to this age. He didn't feel it was a loss, but he was a little reluctant to let go of this child. Changsheng was such a good child. He was sensible, obedient, filial, and good-tempered. Even he, a bad-tempered old man, could take good care of him.
At first, he thought he had picked up a burden, but he never expected that in the last year or so of his life, this picked-up child would be with him, taking care of him, and allowing him to experience the joy of raising a child.
.
Therefore, at the last moment of his life when he was supposed to be alone, what Lao Gutou was reluctant to part with the most was this child. After he died, what should he do with this child? She was not even ten years old and was still a child. How could she be fed?
Himself? However, after giving Changsheng to others to raise, Lao Gutou didn’t trust anyone. The most untrustworthy thing in this world is the human heart. People’s hearts are so far apart from each other, even if the family who raised Changsheng was very kind to her at the beginning.
Okay, but how long will it last? After all, Changsheng is not their biological flesh and blood, and they also have a huge inheritance. Who can withstand this temptation?
Coupled with Changsheng's gentle temperament, once someone treats her five points well, she will want to return ten points. At that time, as long as the other person has a little bad intention, Changsheng will be the food in someone else's bowl!
At this time, he could finally understand a little bit of his little sister's mood. His adopted son is one hundred years old, and he has ninety-nine years of worries. But Changsheng is only eight years old now...
Although he has reached the last moment of his life, Lao Gutou has a clear mind. In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts have gone through his heart. He just feels that he has not lived enough. He really wants to live for another few decades and watch him grow up.
.
At this time, almost everyone in the village had arrived. Li Da and others from the next village had also gone to inform them that they would arrive soon. Old Gu looked at the room full of people and remembered that Gu Xiaomei came here when she passed away.
Those people couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although they have lived in the same village all their lives, he has been cynical because he has suffered too much in his life. To be honest, his relationship with them is not good. To be honest, Lao Gutou does not regret it, but he has some regrets. Thinking about it carefully
, he has always been a person who cannot see through, cannot see through people's hearts, and cannot understand. In other words, he himself does not want to understand...
"Second uncle."
Seeing that Old Gutou seemed to be in a daze, Boss Gu paused and called him softly, fearing that the second uncle would just go without saying anything.
Lao Gu came back to his senses, looked at him, and then spoke sadly.
"It's you. You are the village chief, and you just serve as a witness for me. After I die, Changsheng will throw a basin and hold incense for me."
The people in the village immediately exploded. Is Lao Gutou an old fool? Of course, the posthumous affairs must be handled by men! Didn't Lao Gutou call Boss Gu and his family to come here just because someone would throw a basin for him? Boss Gu and his family came here
There are so many men, just pick one out.
At this time, someone tried to dissuade him.
"Gu Sheng, you..."
But Boss Gu stopped others from talking. He knew from the beginning what a deviant person his second uncle was. In fact, if he had not raised an immortal at the end of his life, he would probably not call himself a family even if he died.
Come.
If Lao Gutou was not such a person, the young Boss Gu would not have admired him so much. He couldn't do anything else, but in the end, he could at least satisfy his second uncle's wish? I don't know when, he was full of feelings for Lao Gutou.
The resentful Boss Gu has completely eliminated the hatred that came from nowhere, leaving only the desire to make up for the other party. After all, it was his father who could not stand up to his second uncle...
"okay, I get it."
The others wanted to say something else, but seeing Boss Gu's firm look, they felt choked in their hearts. Maybe Boss Gu was just trying to comfort Lao Gu temporarily? Wouldn't he really let the girl Changsheng throw a basin?
So everyone sat down and waited for what Lao Gutou would say next. According to what they thought, Lao Gutou would probably be entrusted to an orphan next. And besides the Gu family, is there anyone else to be entrusted with? At this time,
No matter what they thought before, Boss Gu's wife, children, and others looked at the pitiful Changsheng, then looked at the big blue brick house, and thought about the fields owned by Boss Gu, and felt that they could indeed adopt Changsheng. It was just a child.
There is no need to find a wife for a baby girl. When she reaches adulthood, she can just find someone to marry her off to.
However, what Lao Gutou said next directly broke everyone's common sense.
"The mayor of the town and the county government registrar have personal relationships with me. When I entered the county government before, I had already established a female household for Changsheng. From now on, my branch will be inherited by Changsheng. She does not need to change her name. She will recruit a son-in-law in the future. The second
Regardless of whether the child is male or female, change my surname and inherit my lineage."
Under everyone's stunned expressions, Lao Gutou looked at Changsheng gently. This was the gentlest expression he had seen in the past few months.
