Chapter 278 Confession (3)
"Old Master, I'll go and ask them to leave right now. Just calm down." Seeing that Old Master Du was so angry, Uncle Fu dared not keep them anymore. He walked out of the secret room with his back half bent.
After tidying up his clothes, Uncle Fu went to the kitchen to get two bowls of warm water. Thinking that they had come from far away, Uncle Fu took out a small piece of brown sugar and put a small piece in each bowl. He stirred it evenly with chopsticks before carrying it out.
"Dahai, you've been waiting for a long time! I'm old and my memory is not good. It took me a long time to find the sugar. Come, drink it and see if it's sweet!" Uncle Fu put the sugar water in front of Mr. and Mrs. Gu with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Fu." Father and Mother Gu said in unison!
"You're welcome, drink it!" Uncle Fu waved his hand.
Father and Mother Gu didn't bother to be polite with him. They took a big sip of the sugar water and said, "So sweet! So delicious!"
"If it tastes good, drink more. If it's not enough, there's more." He was happy to see them enjoying their drink.
"Uncle Fu, can you tell us about the Du family now? Where are Old Master Du and the others now? Why did you call us here?" Father Gu finished the sugar water in one gulp, and then asked Uncle Fu impatiently.
After much hesitation, Uncle Fu decided to talk it out with them. As for what they would do in the end, he would definitely not interfere too much.
"This is a long story, just listen to me and I will tell you slowly." Uncle Fu's eyes were empty and he was lost in memories!
"When the old man dismissed the servants, he only kept me. Since then, the Du family has been staying at home and I am responsible for buying groceries. Sometimes the young master and his family have never left the house! Life went on like this. The old man still donated money and materials, but the amount was getting smaller and smaller. This is also a good thing! Because this way the Du family can restrain its edge and will not become a knife in the hands of others."
"After finally waiting for victory at the front and thinking that everything would be fine, someone reported the Du family, saying that they were capitalists. Fortunately, Old Master Du was popular and someone wrote to him in advance to tell him about this. Old Master Du asked all the people in the Du family to hide overnight. Although they hid, the entire Du family ceased to exist overnight!" When Uncle Fu said this, he was already in tears and could no longer suppress his emotions and started crying.
"Uncle Fu, don't be too sad. Good people will be rewarded. Are the old man and the others okay now? Did you call us here to do something?" Father Gu asked again when he saw that Uncle Fu didn't tell him the reason why he called them here.
Uncle Fu wiped the tears from his eyes, then looked at Father Gu seriously, "Da Hai! Actually, I wrote to you privately, and the old man and the others were completely unaware of it!"
"Because the eldest young lady is pregnant now, and people outside have been looking for them. They might find this place one day, so I wrote to you, hoping that you can take the child away." Uncle Fu said it sadly. What he didn't say was that this place has been searched several times, and the secret room might be found one day, so he found them and wanted to take the child away when the eldest young lady gave birth. Otherwise, such a young child might be dead if caught.
"Let me take the child away?" Father Gu couldn't believe it. It was not that he didn't want to, but he was afraid that he couldn't raise the child well.
"Dahai, are you unwilling?" Uncle Fu was also afraid that Gu's father would not agree. It is really not easy to raise a child these days.
"Uncle Fu, it's not that I don't want to, I'm just afraid that I can't educate my child well. You know that the conditions in the countryside are very different from those in the city." Father Gu was afraid of being misunderstood by Uncle Fu, so he quickly explained the reason.
"Da Hai, don't worry, as long as you are willing, it's fine. In this day and age, as long as you can survive, there is no point in being picky."
"Uncle Fu, will the old man agree to let me take the child away?" Father Gu had another worry, that is, the Du family would not agree to this.
"I believe the old man will make the right decision."
"Uncle Fu, when will the eldest young lady give birth?" Mother Gu, who had been silent, spoke up.
"It should be these few days, so I was anxious to write to you, but I didn't know that you were also pregnant, otherwise I wouldn't have written to you."
Looking at Mother Gu's big belly, Uncle Fu was glad that nothing happened to Mother Gu on the way, otherwise he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
"It's okay, Uncle Fu. I'm going to give birth in these few days too. When I go back, I can just say that I gave birth to twins." Mother Gu said with a smile, with no intention of blaming him at all.
"That's a good idea. You can stay here for a few days first. Tell others that you are my distant relatives and you are here to visit me." Uncle Fu was really happy to see that they all agreed, and he had already found a reason for them to stay.
"Okay! Uncle Fu."
"It's settled then. I'll go talk to the old man, and you guys just stay here and rest assured!" Uncle Fu felt a headache when he thought about having to persuade the old man.
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Fu."
"What's the trouble? I can't thank you enough for coming all the way here!"
Uncle Fu took them to a clean room and let them stay there temporarily.
"You guys take a good rest. If you need anything, just tell me, Uncle Fu. You're welcome."
After saying this, Uncle Fu walked out of the room, leaving Father and Mother Gu alone in the room.
Mother Gu and Father Gu stayed here for several days. During these days, Uncle Fu went to persuade the old man every day, but the old man just wouldn't give in. He didn't want to implicate others.
Uncle Fu had no choice but to let Father Gu and the others leave today. But on that day, Mother Gu's stomach started to ache. "Master, my stomach hurts so much. I'm about to give birth. Go and prepare some hot water and scissors."
Mother Gu knew that it was difficult to find a midwife at this time, so she planned to deliver the baby herself. After all, she had given birth to so many babies, and she felt that it would be no problem for her to deliver the baby once.
Father Gu hurriedly went to boil water, and Uncle Fu went to prepare new scissors, but at this moment there was a "bang bang bang" sound on the door. Uncle Fu thought something bad had happened and that group of people were here again.
After hurriedly giving the scissors to Gu's father, Uncle Fu went to open the door. When he saw the people coming, his face suddenly turned sour. "Why are you here again? I told you that I don't have the person you are looking for here. You come here every day to look for him. How can I live like this?"
Uncle Fu shouted loudly, hoping that these people would have some dignity and leave quickly, but he underestimated how shameless these people were. They pushed Uncle Fu aside and walked in with a swagger.
