Chapter 277 Envy
When Gu Baozhu was a child, she saw that other people had fathers, but she and her brothers did not. Everyone called her a wild egg without a father. Other friends in the village did not let her and her second brother play, and pushed them away.
"Gu Baozhu! Gu Jingyun! You don't have a father. Our mother said it was your mother who killed you. We won't play with you, or you will kill us!"
"Get out of here, this is not the place for you!"
Someone took out a slingshot and flicked a stone onto Gu Baozhu's forehead. A bump quickly swelled up and made her cry.
When Gu Jingyun saw his sister being bullied, he exploded like a firecracker and rushed over to catch the person who injured Gu Baozhu with a slingshot.
After all, he was young, only four or five years old. This small body was pushed to the ground by the other party and beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Gu Baozhu was frightened and cried louder, forbidding them to hit Gu Jingyun.
Mother Gu was attracted, and the group of people immediately ran away.
She looked at the injuries on Gu Jingyun's face, her eyes turned red with anger, and asked Gu Baozhu what was going on.
Gu Baozhu is young and doesn't know how to consider people's feelings. Crying, she asked, "Mom, they said you killed daddy, and they refused to play with me and my brother, saying we would kill them."
Gu's mother stared at Gu Baozhu blankly.
Gu Baozhu didn't notice it at all, and kept asking: "Mom, I have a father, don't I? I'm not a wild egg, am I?"
Gu's mother held Gu Baozhu's face with her rough hands and wiped away the tears on her face. Her eyes were glistening with tears, but her tone was very firm: "You are not a wild bastard. You have a father. He has gone to a place far away."
Gu Baozhu was coaxed and later learned what "killing death" meant. She never asked Gu's mother again or played with other friends. She and Gu Jingyun were inseparable.
As she grew older, she knew better that her father had not gone far away and he would never come back.
She and her second brother were born without fathers.
He didn't ask any more questions about his father, which made his mother sad.
Unexpectedly, her mother told her now that her father was really back!
Gu Baozhu's eyes shone with light and she jumped up with joy: "Mom, where is daddy?" He looked around, but saw no strange face, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't he back yet?"
Seeing the anticipation in Gu Baozhu's eyes, Gu's mother always knew that she longed to have a father. When she was a child, she saw other children sitting on their father's necks and riding horses. She stared intently, full of envy.
Her heart was sour, and many words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out. There was no way to tell Gu Baozhu everything about Gu Qingsong in Xiliang.
Touching Gu Baozhu's smiling face and looking into her pure and clear eyes, Gu's mother squeezed out a smile on her face: "He just found him and is now living in an inn. If you want to see him, let me know." Send you there."
Gu Baozhu has a simple temperament, but is not stupid. Because of the environment in which she grew up, she is extremely sensitive and delicate. She realizes that when Gu's mother said these words, she was not feeling the joy of reunion after a long separation, but an indescribable bitterness.
Her father hadn't appeared in eight or nine years and suddenly appeared out of thin air. There must be something she didn't know about. Otherwise, why would her mother let him stay in the inn instead of sending her there in person instead of asking someone to send her to see her father?
The joy faded instantly, but the smile on Gu Baozhu's face was still sweet: "Mom, I am so tired from coming from the mountains. I want to take a nap and change into clean and beautiful clothes to see my father."
