Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 350 Found

However, Xiaomai did not respond to her. After muttering a few words in her sleep, she whimpered softly and fell asleep again.

I was even crying in my dream...

Even more heartbroken than Xiaomai was Gu Youlian, who held Xiaomai's burning little hand and cried uncontrollably, thinking of the suffering her daughter had endured.

Gu Juncheng looked at his sister, then at Du Gen, "So none of you know how the child was injured?"

These words made Gu Youlian even more upset and regretful. "I shouldn't have gone to see that movie. I knew those two old bastards were no human beings, yet I still gave the wheat to them!"

Gu Juncheng frowned. "What do you mean?"

He looked at Dugan as he said this.

Dugen, not wanting the family conflict to escalate, was eager to defend his parents, saying, "Lianzi, don't make wild guesses. How could my parents have hit Xiaomai? Xiaomai probably just fell down."

"She didn't tell me she fell? She had to wear a hat to hide her wound? It must be that your mother, that old hag, said something to scare her!" Gu Youlian's mind suddenly cleared up, and the more she thought about it, the more likely she was to guess this.

Dugen's face was not very pleasant. "Lianzi, she is my mother!" His words were not only displeased but also threatening, as if to say: How can you say that my mother is an old hag?

"So what? When has she ever treated me like family? When has she ever treated Xiaomai like a granddaughter? She'd rather give you a son than like Xiaomai!" The word "son" originally referred to the child of her mother-in-law's relative. Now, Du Gen had actually given birth to a son. Although she said she would have Lifen abort the child, Gu Youlian was still filled with bitterness and anger.

"Lotus seeds!"

Du Gen was about to continue speaking when Gu Juncheng stopped him, saying, "This is a hospital! Keep quiet and don't make a sound!"

Gu Juncheng's gaze fell on Xiaomai's schoolbag.

Lin Qingping looked at the schoolbag, and her heart stirred.

Ever since she found Xiaomai at the hospital, she had been anxious and only took Xiaomai's things from the nurse. Later, Du Gen and Gu Youlian appeared, which made her mind chaotic, and she didn't pay attention to the backpack.

At that moment, an idea struck me, and I immediately opened Xiaomai's schoolbag and took out books and notebooks one by one, hoping to see if there were any diaries or the like.

Gu Juncheng also came over and started flipping through the pages with her.

but.

Second-grade students can't recognize all the characters yet, and apart from the daily paragraphs assigned by the teacher, they don't have the habit of writing personal diaries.

Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng did not give up and could only continue flipping through the pages. Finally, on the last page of an exercise book, they found a line of words: Why am I not a son?

"Here!" Lin Qingping exclaimed softly.

The three people gathered around to look, and when they saw this sentence, Gu Youlian was so angry that she wanted to tear Du Gen next to her to pieces!

Then, on the last page of another notebook, I saw a sentence: "Why did Grandma call me a little brat?" What does that mean?

"Du Gen! You still say your mother isn't an old hag?" Gu Youlian was so angry that her blood was boiling, and she wanted to fight Du Gen's mother to the death right now!

Gu Juncheng also found a few scattered sentences in a book: "It's here!"

Some of the writing was at the top of the page, and some was in the corner of the page.

Why did Grandma hit me?

Am I being naughty?

"Mom, Grandma hits me and it hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

"Mother, I can endure it. I'll just endure it a little longer. If I'm obedient, Father won't abandon you."

"Mom, I can't bear to leave you."

Gu Youlian, holding the book, leaned on her younger brother's shoulder and cried so hard she almost fainted.

Du Gen never expected that it was really his mother who did such a thing to Xiaomai. Shocked and heartbroken, he went to help Gu Youlian and tried to comfort her.

Suddenly, Gu Youlian got up from Gu Juncheng's shoulder, slapped Du Gen hard across the face, and then stormed out of the ward while wiping away her tears.

"Lotus Seed! Lotus Seed!" Du Gen cried out anxiously, turning to Lin Qingping and saying, "Pingzi, could you please keep an eye on Xiaomai for me? I'm going to chase after Lotus Seed, and I'm afraid something bad might happen."

After saying that, Dugan left in a hurry.

Lin Qingping glanced at Xiaomai on the hospital bed, who was still fast asleep.

From the moment she got involved, it was clear that she couldn't abandon Xiaomai.

However, she really didn't want to face the Du family. She was afraid of disgusting herself, so she glanced at Gu Juncheng and said, "I'm enough here. You should go and take a look too."

As Du Gen said, if Gu Youlian rushes out like that, something bad might really happen.

Actually, she didn't care what major things happened to the Du family, but Gu Youlian couldn't be harmed.

Although Gu Youlian had been confused, she was, after all, Xiaomai's mother and Lin Qingping's good friend. She had already scolded her, and if something really happened, she should step forward. Moreover, given what Du Gen had done, it was perfectly normal for Gu Youlian's younger brother to stand up for her.

Gu Juncheng also knew the gravity of the situation, and his gaze towards her deepened under the lamplight. "Lin Qingping, thank you."

"Let's go!" Lin Qingping didn't like hearing that. This person only had a few lines, transitioning from "I'm sorry" to "thank you."

Gu Juncheng gave her a deep look, then strode out.

Lin Qingping sat down next to Xiaomai and gently held her hand. She wondered if the child sensed it, because although she was still asleep, her hand trembled slightly and quickly hooked onto Lin Qingping's fingers. A tear slid down from her tightly closed eyes.

Lin Qingping sighed and gently wiped away her tears.

When Gu Juncheng chased after her, Gu Youlian had just gotten into a taxi. Du Gen caught up quickly and also got in, but Gu Juncheng couldn't catch up and took a car himself, following closely behind.

Gu Youlian's car pulled up and stopped in front of her house.

Her house was pitch black, and she didn't realize it until she took out her key to open the gate, only to find that it wouldn't open; the lock had been changed, something Lin Qingping hadn't told her.

But a voice came from inside the courtyard, "Who is it? Gen'er, is that you back?"

It was Du Genniang's voice.

"Yes! Mother, it's me!" Dugen was conflicted. Xiaomai was his own daughter, obedient and adorable, whom he had cherished for many years. Yet his mother had treated Xiaomai so cruelly. But, after all, she was his mother...

The person inside was already yelling, "Gen'er, open the door! That heartless wretch! She kicked us out and locked the door! Your father and I can't get in! Your father climbed over the wall and twisted his ankle; he can't move now..."

Du Gen didn't even think about who this "thieving woman" was, and just like his father, he climbed over the gate and went inside.

Gu Youlian was furious and didn't care about anything else. She climbed over the courtyard wall and went inside. Sure enough, she saw her father-in-law sitting on the ground, unable to move, and groaning incessantly.

Dugen wanted to take his father to the hospital, but his father refused, becoming extremely anxious and insistent, "Today, unless I die, I won't leave this place!"

Gu Youlian didn't care what the father and son were saying and went straight for her mother-in-law.
