Even though Qin Tian’s parents found out the truth later and brought Qin De to justice,
neither Granny Qin nor Qin Tian and his siblings could co back.
They gave up their small family to dedicate everything to the country’s weapon research, yet in the end, the mother and children ended up murdered; the outco was too tragic.
They shouldn’t have t such an end.
Gu Jia Ning temporarily held back her emotions.
Half an hour later, the dicine was ready. Granny Qin got up, drank the dicine, and after drinking, lay back on the bed. Her cough significantly improved, and she also seed to calm down.
"Ningning, thank you. If it weren’t for you, this old woman might just..." Ever since Qin Tian and his siblings returned from the market that day with praise for Gu Jia Ning, Granny Qin had a good impression of her.
Now, even after learning she had tuberculosis, Gu Jia Ning still braved the cold weather to co and treat her.
This kindness should be rembered by both her and the Qin Family.
"Granny, rest assured, I can cure your illness. As long as you take the dicine as I say, you’ll surely recover. Qin Tian and Qin Qing are still young, and their parents aren’t around; they need you to take care of them."
Granny Qin nodded, understanding this reasoning. "Ah, I just don’t know when A Hong will co back."
A Hong?
"Granny, are Qin Tian and Qin Qing’s parents?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
"Yes." Perhaps trusting Gu Jia Ning, Granny Qin revealed that her son and daughter-in-law worked for the country.
She was worried that Gu Jia Ning and her husband might think her son and daughter-in-law abandoned their mother and children, but they weren’t like that; they just needed to serve the country, sacrificing the small family for the greater good, and couldn’t be blad.
Gu Jia Ning also knew that, in this era, many people sacrificed the small family to contribute to the country.
It was precisely because of the contributions of such people that the country could enjoy future prosperity.
These countless people supported this once turbulent country on their backs, awakening this sleeping giant.
"Granny, even if Qin Tian’s parents haven’t sent letters back, they must have sent money, right?"
"I think since they’re working for the country, the country wouldn’t neglect them."
Granny Qin nodded, agreeing with this sentint, but over these years, indeed, they hadn’t received any remittance from them.
"Granny, did you or Qin Tian personally inquire?"
Granny Qin was montarily stunned and shook her head. "It was A De who inquired."
But every ti, A De only brought back disappointing news, so in recent years, they stopped expecting anything.
Gu Jia Ning’s face grew slightly somber. "Granny, to be blunt, is Qin De truly trustworthy? I just had a brief encounter with him, and honestly, my initial impression isn’t great. What do you think—how much of what he says is true or false?"
As Gu Jia Ning spoke, Sheng Zexi was listening from the side.
Sheng Zexi’s gaze fell on his wife’s back, feeling that Ningning seed to know sothing.
"No, that can’t be." Granny Qin instinctually replied. Could Qin De be untrustworthy? Could he lie?
But over the years, although A De wasn’t exceedingly kind to them, he occasionally helped them.
However, Granny Qin held a very good impression of Gu Jia Ning, feeling she wasn’t the type to slander without reason.
If, if what Ningning said was true, and what A De said wasn’t entirely factual, then...
Thinking of certain possibilities, Granny Qin’s face suddenly turned pale, causing a heaviness in her chest as she started coughing violently.
Gu Jia Ning quickly pulled out a needle, pricking her a few tis until she cald down.
Granny Qin grasped Gu Jia Ning’s hand, her withered hand full of wrinkles. "Ningning, what do you think we should do?"
"How about this: let my husband take Qin Tian to the post office to check if his parents have been sending money over the years. If not, I’ll owe Qin De an apology. But if they have, then we might need to involve the police..."
Gu Jia Ning offered her suggestion, watching to see Granny Qin’s decision.
She feared Granny Qin still trusted Qin De too much.
Fortunately, Granny Qin was a clear-headed and decisive person, promptly adopting Gu Jia Ning’s suggestion.
"Alright, let’s do that. I’ll trouble you and Little Sheng."
"If A De hasn’t done anything wrong, that’s fine. But if he has, then we should report it to the police!"
Granny Qin’s eyes were full of resolve.
In Granny Qin’s view, the most important thing now is protecting Qin Tian and Qin Qing; no one can infringe on their interests.
And if Qin De really took the money sent by her son and daughter-in-law, year after year for eight years, Granny Qin would definitely not let it go!
No one knows better than she does how hard these years have been for the two children living with her.
After deciding, Granny Qin looked at Gu Jia Ning as well.
Sheng Zexi pulled Gu Jia Ning aside. "I can drive the kid to the post office, but I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here alone."
He had seen Qin De’s deanor and gaze just now and feared he might return and be a threat to Ningning if he wasn’t there.
Gu Jia Ning held Sheng Zexi’s hand. "I know you’re worried about , but don’t worry. This person might not necessarily co back. After you take Qin Tian and leave, we’ll just lock the door and not open it for anyone. Even if he does force his way in, rest assured, I have the ans to protect myself. Trust ."
With the exchange store at hand and nearly a thousand points, she could always exchange items if necessary.
However, Gu Jia Ning felt Qin De wouldn’t co.
Because when Qin De was here earlier, the malicious intent detector didn’t react, so he’s not considered a threat for now.
Sheng Zexi fixed his gaze on Gu Jia Ning’s eyes, seemingly wrestling with sothing internally before ultimately calming down.
"Alright, then I’ll trust you."
Over here, Qin Tian was instructed by Granny Qin for a while, his little face full of shock, sowhat bewildered, before he pursed his lips and walked over to Sheng Zexi with a tense face.
"Brother Sheng, can you take to the post office?" Qin Tian asked.
"Alright," Sheng Zexi agreed.
Once Qin Tian got in the car, Sheng Zexi watched as Gu Jia Ning closed the Qin family’s door and cautioned her once more not to open it for anyone, then drove off towards the county.
The post office was in the county, and in this heavy snow, walking from Kao Mountain Village would definitely take quite so ti.
Especially since neither Kao Mountain Village nor the Northwest Military Region is very close to the county.
But now, with a car, ti could be saved.
Perhaps because of the heavy snow and cold weather, there weren’t many people on the road.
It was Qin Tian’s first ti in a car, and he was a bit nervous and uneasy, his little face still tense as he looked out the window, while thinking about what Granny had told him.
Granny said, Sister Gu said, maybe their parents have sent money, but Uncle De said no.
