When they found their daughter and discovered that their cherished daughter had actually given birth, he and his wife had been deeply shocked!
They assumed that their young and innocent daughter had been deceived, and they were furious.
They were in a rage. Also, their daughter was badly injured and had just given birth, so she was in very poor health. She remained unconscious, and they were deeply saddened.
They longed to kill the child’s father. Of course they disliked the child.
A moment’s negligence and the child was gone when they returned.
In those times, people strongly preferred boys to girls. Many families could barely feed themselves. No one would willingly adopt a girl. Who would be so perverted as to steal a baby girl?
Old Master Qiao regretted it after he calmed down.
If the girl was still with them, she would be their little granddaughter!
His heart ached!
“Let’s not talk about it. It’s too late now!”
Old Madam Qiao felt like crying. “It’s all our fault. Such a small child and the conditions over there are so poor. It was such a shabby little place. How could the child possibly survive? Wu wu wu, it’s all my fault…”
Old Master Qiao’s heart ached to see his wife crying. “Don’t cry! It’s been so many years, it’s too late for regrets. Our girl has become like that. We need to find a way to help her leave her past behind. She still has many years to go! She cannot ruin her life like that.”
Old Madam Qiao continued to cry sorrowfully. “It has been so many years, but our daughter has not managed to leave the past behind. It has crippled her emotionally.”
Old Madam Qiao ground her teeth in hatred when she thought of Gu Yunshen.
“It’s all that Gu Yunshen’s fault. He’d better hope I don’t have a chance to go back. Or I’ll poison him!”
Old Madam Qiao was also a skilled physician. She was not joking when she said she wanted to poison Gu Yunshen.
Old Master Qiao sighed again. He comforted his wife for a while and coaxed her to sleep.
At the train station in the capital.
Eldest Uncle Gu and his family were carrying their luggage as they got off the train. They were excited and nervous. Up until now, Eldest Uncle and Aunt felt as though they were in a dream.
They had not expected to return one day.
And so soon. They had managed to return so soon!
Although they could not return to their old jobs, they were sent straight to the capital. Their lives had changed drastically!
Eldest Aunt, Fang Ling, looked excitedly at the crowded station. “Son, we… Are we really in the capital?”
Gu Jinye smiled, “Mother, this really is the capital. We’ve left!”
They had left a desolate and hopeless place, not for their old home, but for the capital.
He thought that after their sojourn in the north, it would be some time before he would have an opportunity to come here. Later on, he had met someone he liked, so he felt somewhat consoled. He had benefited from that god-forsaken place.
He was prepared to spend his life there, taking good care of his parents and fiancée.
To his surprise, he had managed to seize an opportunity to do well and had done a great service.
Now his entire family had been successfully transferred to the capital. Gu Jinye was grateful that he had postponed his wedding in order to participate in the mission.
Now, not only could he and his parents leave, he could bring his fiancée with him. It was wonderful.
Mo Beihan and Jiang Xun were at the train station to meet them.
“Uncle, Aunt, we’ve already arranged a place for you to stay. We’ll bring you there now.”
Eldest Uncle Gu and Fang Ling felt comforted at the sight of familiar faces. They followed Mo Beihan to their accommodations.
