Chapter 159 Go find him
Chapter 159 Go find him
This time, several people were completely afraid to go over.
"Come here, if you don't, I'll go back and beat you to death."
He Lianjun was beaten so hard that his teeth were grimacing and his butt was almost bruised.
"Okay, let him go, He Lianjun. If you dare to come again next time, I will really stab this knife into your stomach."
After hearing this, he originally wanted to make some harsh remarks, but now he didn't dare to say anything. After all, the crazy woman was still holding a knife. If she was really stabbed by him, she would be finished.
He Lianjun had no choice but to leave with his tail between his legs in shame.
Just not far away, you could hear him cursing.
Zhao Qiqi sighed. Although he didn't suffer much loss, he still felt bad.
"Thank you for your help." Zhao Qiqi sincerely thanked her son and niece, and put the things where the old lady said.
She left her back and waved her hand: "Nothing. Be careful next time. I don't think that person will let it go."
Zhao Qiqi also knew that she had bought a dagger from the mall for self-defense, but she didn't feel any danger on weekdays, so she didn't carry it with her at all times. She must bring it with her when she goes back this time.
Zhao Qiqi looked at the sign of the tavern at the door. This was the best time to do business, but it seemed that there was no one else here except the old man.
Is such a big tavern only run by an old man?
"Old man, I want to ask, how is your business here?"
Zhao Qiqi caught up with the old lady. She thought that if the business here was not good, she could rent the place. She followed all the way here and saw that the shop was very big, three stories high, and there were tables outside for seating. She must have had good business in the past.
As a beverage shop, this shop is perfect.
"I have stopped doing it a long time ago. I am too old to do it anymore."
"Grandma, since you don't want to run the business anymore, why don't you rent it out? Isn't it a waste to leave it empty?"
Gu Xiaohua and Gu Yansui also followed. She was at the age where she was curious and asked why everywhere. It was the most appropriate person for her to ask this question. Zhao Qiqi secretly gave her a thumbs up in his heart, as it was just paving the way for himself.
The old woman looked into the distance, her thoughts returning to the past. Sitting at the table, she had not talked about these things with anyone for a long time.
"This tavern was opened by my husband and I. He went to join the army that year and we haven't heard from him since. I have no children and no one to accompany me. Now, I can no longer work, but I don't want him to come back and not find me, so I have been waiting here... I have been waiting, but he still hasn't come back. Perhaps, some people can never come back."
When she talked about the sad part, a tear slipped out of the corner of the old woman's eye. No one could tell her in detail how lonely she had been for the past few decades.
"Grandma!"
Gu Yansui shouted, startling Zhao Qiqi and the others. "Old Lady Gu? Why is she here?"
Seeing that no one heard Gu Yansui's shout, Zhao Qiqi hurriedly asked Gu Yansui to run over and bring the person back.
She was also very confused as to why Old Madam Gu appeared here. On weekdays, even the town was rarely visited by Old Madam Gu. Why did she come to the county now?
Even if there was something big happening at home, it was impossible for Old Madam Gu to come to them. Therefore, Zhao Qiqi was certain that Old Madam Gu might not want them to know what she was going to do in the county, otherwise she could have followed Zhao Qiqi and others here this morning.
While I was thinking, Mrs. Gu had already arrived. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Zhao Qiqi suddenly had a premonition about why Old Lady Gu came.
The old woman also turned around and went back into the house to pour a cup of hot water and placed it in front of Old Mrs. Gu.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Old Mrs. Gu seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she had some hidden secret. From her reaction, Zhao Qiqi understood everything.
She sank her face and said angrily, "Mom, did you go to find him?
The old lady didn't dare to look at Zhao Qiqi. She knew that Zhao Qiqi didn't want to look for her and was deceiving herself by following her here at her age.
"Mom, you are an old lady, what if something happens? The world is not peaceful now."
"I...I just want to go and see if he is Gu Lin."
At this point, Mrs. Gu became excited and held Zhao Qiqi's hand tightly: "Daughter-in-law, I know, I know that is my son, but that Shangshu Ling's daughter didn't let me go to find him, and even said that I was a liar."
"Qiqi, you are very capable, can you go find him for me? I took one look at him from a distance and was very sure that it was my son Gu Lin. I know you are worried that it is not him, but I promise you, I am not wrong."
Zhao Qiqi held Mrs. Gu's hand with some embarrassment. She was interrupted by the old lady as soon as she opened her mouth.
"But..."
"Qiqi, I originally thought that I would just go back, but I thought about it and I still couldn't accept it. I'm so old now, and I don't ask for anything else. Only Gu Lin can call me mother. I thought you were looking for a store here, so I hurried to look for it, and finally found you. No matter what, can you promise me to give it a try? No matter what the result is, I can accept it."
Seeing the usually calm old lady burst into tears, Zhao Qiqi thought, no matter what, he had to make a trip for the old lady, his original self and these children.
"Mom, I promise you, but let me finish the things I have on hand first, okay?"
Old Mrs. Gu nodded, and Zhao Qiqi looked at the old woman.
"We came here this time to find a shop to do business. Everything about your shop meets our expectations. We want to rent this shop. If your husband comes back, we will come to find you."
The old woman did not answer, but turned to look at Mrs. Gu and murmured, "What's wrong with your son?"
"He has lost his memory and doesn't recognize us." Old Mrs. Gu was very sure that it was Gu Lin, he just had lost his memory.
Zhao Qiqi understood that the conversation that day was heard by Old Lady Gu.
"Amnesia..." When the old woman said these words, she suddenly felt enlightened.
"Maybe my husband has also lost his memory, so he can't come back, right? I want to go find her."
Zhao Qiqi looked at her with some worry, afraid that the old lady was in a trance because of years of missing her.
The old woman said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't look at me like that, I'm fine. I just feel that we shouldn't give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope, so I have been guarding this place for so many years."
"If you really want this place, fine, but you have to buy it. I want to sell this place and then go out and find him."
