If she told Gu Dong her secret today..,
Would Gu Dong not go up the mountain? If she stopped Gu Dong when he left..,
Would he not be in trouble?
The Ai Cao walked over, moved a chair, and sat beside the bed. She looked at Gu Dong, who was still unconscious..,
She felt extremely uncomfortable.
Because of excessive blood loss, Gu Dong's lips were still pale,
Weakness and pale was written all over his face. His beautiful eyes were tightly shut,
He did not have the vitality that she was familiar with in the past.
The Ai Cao raised her hand and lingered on Gu Dong's face. In the end, she withdrew her hand,
She held his large palm outside the blanket. This was the first time she looked at Gu Dong's hand seriously.
It was completely different from hers..,
Gu Dong's palm was not only big, but there were also thick calluses on his palm,
It was obvious that only people who worked for a long time would have it.
Although her own palm was rough and ugly when she inherited the original owner's, she began to cherish it after coming to the Gu family,
It had slowly changed.
To be honest, after marrying into the Gu family for so many days, Gu Dong had not mistreated her,
Compared to the three days in the Ai family, she knew that she was lucky. If it wasn't for Gu Dong..,
Even if it wasn't for another Ai family..,
There weren't many families who married wives who didn't work all day.
She did too,
But Gu Dong didn't force her,
And he would even help her when he could see her. Was it because they were newlyweds?
Not at all. Because they hadn't even slept together yet.
As an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man, his newlywed wife couldn't sleep together. Not only did he not put her down, but he also respected and helped her in every way.
The Ai Cao wasn't a god. She was a human with flesh and blood and a heart. Although she would occasionally compare Gu Dong with the number one young master of the aristocratic family in her previous life, and then belittle Gu Dong in her heart for a long time, she knew in her heart that meeting Gu Dong was the greatest fortune in her life.
He wasn't as fair and clean as those young masters of aristocratic families, but he was sunny and healthy, and lived a positive and optimistic life. Most importantly, Gu Dong knew how to respect people from the bottom of his heart. As long as he was wrong, he would tell you that he would change.
Gu Dong, her grandfather, and her. It was a family of three. They were not as rich and wealthy as the big families, but they were not as hypocritical as those big families. This was a warm and small family.
Grandpa would secretly eat less food for them. Gu Dong would risk his life for her and her grandfather. Although she hadn't been with the Gu family for long, she had long regarded them as a family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the risk of being discovered as a foreign species to secretly take out food.
In the past, she would fantasize that she might go back one day if an accident happened. But now? Seeing Gu Dong covered in blood, she felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife. She did not want to leave. She wanted Gu Dong to be fine.
Even if she had to work in the fields and endure hardships with him for the rest of her life, she was willing to do so as long as nothing happened to him.
Humans were like this. They would only realize how much they couldn't bear to part with certain things when they were about to lose them. To her, Gu Dong was no longer someone who could save her from the Ai family's fiery pit. He was her family, her husband for the rest of her life.
Ai Cao interlocked her fingers and lifted Gu Dong's large hand. She put it in front of her face and leaned forward to rub it. She didn't expect to rub the back of Gu Dong's hand with her tears.
After studying for so many years, everything in the past was overturned today. Ai Cao re-examined her heart. At this moment, she realized that what she wanted was no longer her talented husband, but the illiterate Gu Dong.
"Wake up quickly. When you wake up, I'll tell you a story. A magical story." Ai Cao looked at Gu Dong's face and muttered to herself.
When Grandpa Gu arrived, he realized that his grandson was still sleeping on the bed. Ai Cao was also sleeping on the side of the bed. Both of their hands were tightly clasped together. Looking at this scene, the old man's eyes welled up with tears.
As long as Dongzi was fine and the two children could live a good life in the future, what else did he want? He didn't want anything.
In the evening, Fu Jiu came back. Other than bringing back the things that Ai Cao needed, he also brought back some food stamps. Normally, the villagers ate their own food and didn't need food stamps. There weren't many food stamps, but Ai Cao and the others were in town now. They couldn't eat in the canteen just because they had money. They had to have food stamps.
"Thank you, Fu Jiu." Ai Cao sincerely expressed his gratitude. He had done a lot of work for this matter. Even biological brothers couldn't be more grateful.
"You don't have to thank me, Sister-in-law. This is what I should do." Fu Jiu was a little embarrassed by Ai Cao's serious expression. He raised his hand and touched his head. Then, he suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Grandpa Gu beside him and secretly signaled Ai Cao to go out. He had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Ai Cao came out and asked him softly.
Fu Jiu's expression was ugly. The smile on his face was long gone. He said unhappily, "When I sent Ai Ershun back, the Ai family found out that he drew blood for Gu Dong. His grandmother and mother immediately started scolding him in the courtyard. It was very unpleasant to hear. They also clamored for you to repay their kindness. You should remember this. I'm afraid that the old woman will cause a ruckus in Dongzi's ward."
Looking at Fu Jiu's serious expression, Ai Cao knew that this matter was definitely not simple. According to the Ai family's temperament, they probably couldn't wait for Gu Dong to die. Even when Ai Ershun went to draw blood, it was because he wanted to save face in front of so many villagers.
He didn't want to be known as a heartless person in the village.
Whether or not it came from the heart, it was a fact that he was Gu Dong. She would remember this kindness. However, if the Ai family really took advantage of her and came looking for trouble before Gu Dong recovered, then they shouldn't blame her for not repaying their kindness.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry about the Ai family for now. Let them cause a ruckus. It'll be a good show for everyone who has nothing to do after the autumn harvest."
Now, Ai Cao was like a lion, protecting Gu Dong fiercely behind her. If anyone really came looking for trouble at this time, she didn't mind pouncing on them and biting them.
"What are you talking about? Is it about the Ai family? "Grandpa Gu felt uneasy when he heard the words" Ai family "at the door just now.
Originally, the Gu family and the Ai family had been on good terms in the past. However, ever since Old Madam Ai brought people to the Gu family to cause a ruckus, the two families stopped talking when they met in the village. However, who would have thought that his grandson's accident this time was actually saved by Ai Ershun's blood?
Grandpa Gu didn't want to, but he had to admit that this was a life. It was a huge favor.
"It's about the Ai family, Grandpa." Ai Cao saw that Grandpa Gu had heard it, so she didn't hide it from him anymore. She knew that Grandpa Gu wasn't someone who would be easily manipulated. Even now, she still remembered hiding outside the Ai family's central room and listening to Grandpa Gu and Old Madam Ai arguing about whether Gu Dong would marry her.
"The Ai family is simply inhumane. Grandpa, you don't know. When I sent Ai Ershun back, the Ai family cursed Dongzi in the dirtiest way!" Fu Jiu was very agitated.
"What could they have cursed? It was nothing more than cursing Dongzi to die. "The corners of Grandpa Gu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic expression." I've long known what kind of people their family is. Alright, Ai Cao, take good care of Gu Dong. You don't have to worry about this matter. Grandpa will handle it. "
Grandpa Gu knew that kindness had to be repaid. Otherwise, it would cause gossip in the village. If he really went against the Ai family directly, it would only cause the village to say that Gu Dong and Ai Cao repaid kindness with ingratitude and made a fool of the Gu family. However, there was a particular way to repay this kindness.
That night, Ai Cao and Grandpa Gu stayed in the ward to watch over Gu Dong. Their minds were full of worries and they didn't sleep at all.
Gu Dong had a fever in the night, but after cooling down in time, the fever had already subsided when he woke up in the morning.
The doctor praised his good physique and said at the same time that he recovered quickly, "I'm pretty sure that he's fine. As long as there are no accidents, he'll be fine as long as he recuperates well."
The doctor's words were like a reassuring pill, allowing Ai Cao and Grandpa Gu to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
