Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Cry for Help

Old Gu, sitting in the main seat, looked at the reunited family with a face full of wrinkles and smiles, “Today is the day Ningning and her husband bring Xingxing and Yueyue back. It’s a joyous day, a day of reunion. I hope our family will have this day every year, and this morning every year.”

“Alright!”

“Eat, eat whatever you like, enjoy your meal.”

During the meal, the Gu Family kept serving food to Gu Jia Ning.

As for Sheng Zexi, he was responsible for watching the two children eat.

Xingxing and Yueyue had already learned to eat by themselves. Although their movements were a bit slow, they ate very well without spilling anything, while Sheng Zexi helped them pick foods they liked and could eat.

The Gu Family saw this and felt very satisfied.

If it were Gu Jia Ning who had to take care of the two kids while Sheng Zexi just ate his own meal, they wouldn’t be very happy.

Over the past three years, although Ningning hadn’t returned, judging by the look of the little sister and the actions of her brother-in-law, it seemed Ningning was living a happy life.

With that, they felt relieved.

Originally, this was supposed to be a day of reunion for the Gu Family. However, after just a short time of eating, suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

“Sister Yao, Sister Yao, open the door!”

“Jia Ning, Jia Ning, are you at home?”

“Open the door!”

The Gu Family heard the voices and froze.

“This sounds like Aunt Wu.” Gu Yunzhou, who had keen ears, immediately recognized it.

Aunt Wu, wasn’t she the one who lived next door, Wu Meili?

Yao Chunhua suddenly remembered. “Isn’t Wu Meili supposed to be at her daughter’s in-laws’? She came back? Why is she knocking on our door?”

Moreover, she’s calling her Sister Yao. You should know, Wu Meili and she don’t have good relations. Wu Meili has never called her sister.

“The voice sounds urgent, third child, go see what’s happening.” Old Gu instructed.

“Alright.”

So, Gu Yunzhou got up and opened the courtyard door. Sure enough, he saw Wu Meili standing outside.

At this moment, Wu Meili’s face was full of urgency and panic.

Seeing Gu Yunzhou open the door, she immediately stepped forward and asked, “Gu Family’s third child, is Ningning home?”

“Where is she? Please let her come with me to save someone.”

At this point, Wu Meili saw Gu Jia Ning sitting at the dining table in the living room and quickly ran in.

Then she knelt right in front of Gu Jia Ning, “Ningning, can you come with me to save your Sister Baozhu and her child? Aunt is begging you.”

“I, I’ll kowtow to you.”

Wu Meili not only knelt, her face full of panic and worry, but also tears.

Looking at Gu Jia Ning at this moment was as if she had grabbed the last straw of hope.

However, her actions shocked the Gu Family and Gu Jia Ning.

“Wu Meili, what are you doing? You’re kneeling to my daughter, are you trying to shorten my daughter’s life?” Yao Chunhua was angry when she saw her like this.

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

“Sister Yao, I’m sorry, I’m just too anxious. My Baozhu and the child in her belly are waiting to be saved.”

Seeing her like this, Yao Chunhua knew the situation was serious, she pulled her up, “What’s happened, you tell me!”

“Okay, I’ll tell, I’ll tell!”

This matter started when Wu Meili was carrying a chicken from her home to visit her daughter in the neighboring Xinghua Village.

Wu Meili had two sons and a daughter, but she wasn’t very close with her sons, especially since her eldest son had run off to the city to become someone else’s son-in-law, and her younger son was honest and taciturn, not speaking much.

Only her daughter Baozhu was her favorite and most like her.

From the moment her daughter was born, she liked her very much, so she named her Baozhu (Treasure Bead).

In an era when many people thought girls were a loss, Wu Meili pampered her Baozhu and even sent her to school.

Although Baozhu, when grown, didn’t look as pretty or capable as Gu Jia Ning, raised by the neighboring Yao Chunhua.

But Wu Meili felt her daughter was good in every way.

Believing her daughter was good, Wu Meili always wanted the best for her daughter.

She knew that marriage was a lifelong matter for a woman and important.

So she had long been eyeing the eldest son of Yao Chunhua, thinking that if Baozhu married him, she would certainly be happy.

But unexpectedly, Gu Yunting married Yang Manman.

Angry, she started to hold bad feelings for Yao Chunhua from then on.

Later, Baozhu married Yang Guangming, although he was a carpenter.

But at least they didn’t live badly, especially after Baozhu married, she gave birth to a son the following year.

Last year, at the end of the year, Baozhu got pregnant again.

And now, she was about to give birth.

Wu Meili thought about the stingy face of that old woman from the Yang Family, worried her daughter wouldn’t eat well.

During this time, she often carried things to visit her daughter. Those things were meant to be saved for her daughter’s postpartum recovery, like the chicken she was carrying today.

Everything was going smoothly today. By evening, so as not to make her daughter feel awkward, she didn’t even stay for dinner.

However, halfway through her walk, she suddenly heard her grandson’s voice behind her.

She turned around and indeed saw her grandson.

She then saw her five-year-old grandson cry and throw himself into her arms, tugging at her clothes and asking her to save his mother.

From her grandson’s stumbling narration, Wu Meili learned.

Apparently, after she left, some incident occurred, leading Yang Guangming to push Baozhu.

With that push, Baozhu fell to the ground, triggered a labor, and the child was about to be born.

But Yang Guangming and his mother didn’t go to fetch the midwife. Instead, they locked Baozhu in the house.

“They are going to kill! They want to kill my Baozhu.”

“They want Baozhu to die with the unborn child.”

Fortunately, the grandson was clever and immediately ran out, caught up with his grandmother, and asked her for help.

Wu Meili was shocked to realize that Yang Guangming and his mother were so heartless.

Of course, she had to save her daughter.

So Wu Meili immediately took her grandson and went back.

However, she knew that she and her grandson were no match for Yang Guangming and his mother, so she quickly sought help from other villagers in Xinghua Village to go to the Yang Family together.

Fortunately, most of the villagers in Xinghua Village were honest and willing to help her.

Eventually, Wu Meili broke the locked door and brought Baozhu out.

Wu Meili naturally wanted to settle the score with Yang Guangming and his mother, but the situation with Baozhu was too critical.

So Wu Meili couldn’t bother with anything else and immediately begged the people of Xinghua Village for a cart to take her daughter to the county hospital.

She thought her daughter would be saved once they reached the county hospital.

Unexpectedly, the doctor said…

“The doctor said Baozhu is having a difficult birth, and there is nothing they can do.”

“But, Baozhu is my life, my daughter. How can I watch her just die like this?”

While Wu Meili was thinking about who could save Baozhu, a name suddenly came to her mind.

It was Gu Jia Ning!
