Chapter 1123: Chapter 1105: For Them Chapter 1123 -1105: For Them He felt the same way; how could a child who had never experienced college life possibly understand growth?
Nobody could deprive him of his college experience either.
He was actually still underage.
Even if he went to the hospital, no one would want him because that would be child labor.
He cycled very fast, still carrying his basketball on his back, and kept pedaling forward until he reached an old house on the outskirts of town.
These houses were indeed quite old and probably faced demolition.
Actually, many people in the area were waiting for demolition, but nobody knew exactly when it would happen.
...
And the person he was looking for lived here.
He parked his bicycle to one side, then hung the basketball on the front of the bike before stepping forward to knock on the door.

âWhoâs out there?â
Sang Zhilan was inside picking vegetables to cook.
She shouted outside, âOld Wei, go open the door.â
âGot it,â Wei Tian put the remote controller he was holding to one side and stood up to open the door.
But when the door opened, Wei Tian was taken aback.
âYou areâŠâ
Gu Yu scrutinized everything inside the house.
It was very old and had a damp smell.
His nose was quite sensitive, so he immediately detected it.
âIâm here to find Sang Zhilan.â
Gu Yu spoke in a calm tone.
He knew Sang Zhilan could be considered his grandmother, but he couldnât bring himself to call her that.
He had a grandfather, and he had a grandmother who had always been kind to him.
He really couldnât address someone he had never met before with the words âgrandmother.â
âOh, alright, alright.â
Wei Tian quickly let him in and called out for Sang Zhilan to come.
Sang Zhilan flicked the water off her hands and wiped them on her clothes before coming out.
The old house was just forty square meters, with a small and aged living room.
They were accustomed to living there, even though they rarely had any guests.
As soon as she stepped out and saw the tall boy standing outside, her nose soured involuntarily.
âCome, sit, sit.â
It was as if she recognized him.
Yes, she had recognized him.
In the past few years, she hadnât seen Tang Yuxin, and of course, she hadnât seen her own grandson either.
She had secretly watched these two kids grow up from a distance.
They both looked like their father, with only their eyes strongly resembling their motherâs.
Of course, they were both very good-looking children.
Gu Yu didnât show any disdain.
He sat down and noticed that although the place was somewhat old, the cushions on the sofa and such were very clean.
He smelled the scent of new laundry detergent and sunlight, so it wasnât too bad.
Even living in such a house, apart from the dampness, one could still sense the ownerâs care and attention to detail.
Although Wei Tian didnât know who the boy was, he was very hospitable and brought out some good tea leaves he had hidden away for a long time.
These tea leaves were gifts from someone else, treasured like jewels on ordinary days, and he seldom brought them out to drink, not even for himself.
They were reserved for guests, and they seldom had visitors, not even during festivals or holidays.
âThank you,â Gu Yu took the cup, brought it to his lips, and his eyes occasionally surveyed Sang Zhilan.
Her eyes seemed a bit reddened, and sometimes he caught her secretly wiping away tears.
He thought that perhaps Sang Zhilan knew who he was.
Wei Tian was also puzzled by Sang Zhilanâs strange reaction, and took the opportunity while she went to boil water to quickly ask her.
âThat child is!â
âDo you know him?â
âKnow him?
How could I not?â Sang Zhilan was inside washing vegetables, preparing a feast for her grandson.
She hadnât seen him for even a day, nor had she ever cooked a meal for him, so she felt quite deficient as a grandmother.
âThat isâŠâ
Wei Tian, however, didnât know how Sang Zhilan claimed to know the child?
âThatâs Yuxinâs son, one of the twins,â Sang Zhilan whispered to Wei Tian.
Wei Tian was startled, âItâs them.â
He stole another glance outside, indeed, the boy resembled the Gu family, very much like his fatherĂąâŹâa striking child.
Tang Zhinianâs grandsons had grown so much, yet where could his own grandson be?
For some reason, he always felt as if this were also his grandson.
He hurried out and prepared tea for his grandson.
Yes, his grandson.
Now, he had even forgotten what the child had come for.
Could it be that they still hadnât finished repaying the money, or what?
Sang Zhilan served a table full of dishes.
Regardless of the past, Gu Yu had never met them before, but now he found both Sang Zhilan and Wei Tian to be quite kind.
They had suffered in their youth, and he couldnât relate to what they might have gone through, as he was neither the mother nor the grandfather.
All he knew was,
In front of him now were two elders, their lives dwindling like candles in the wind, so his initial resistance had subsided without reason.
Of course, he also gave Sang Zhilan due respect by eating quite a bit of the food.
Sang Zhilan was always smiling, her face creasing with more wrinkles, but she truly was a kind and cheerful old lady.
After finishing the meal, Gu Yu finally put his hand in his pocket, and then took out a card from within, placing it on the table.
âWhat is this?â Sang and Wei Tian looked at each other, both confused.
âThis is something my mother asked me to give to you.â
Gu Yu pushed the card on the table forward.
âThis is the money youâve been depositing for the past fifteen years.
I used it to make investments and itâs increased about fivefold.
You deposited six hundred thousand, so now it should be more than three million.â
Gu Yu was merely saying this, as he hadnât actually used the money to play the stock market, because the card had always been in his motherâs possession.
His mother had added two hundred thousand in interest, and he had put all the money he had earned over the few years into it.
It wasnât a lot, but if they wanted to change houses, they could afford a small one.
He had no pressing use for the money, he could always earn more later.
No matter what, she was his grandmother, and no matter how poorly they might have gotten along, she was old now.
He couldnât do much, but by giving them this money, their later years would be somewhat better.
With this money, they could buy a house and still have over a hundred thousand left over, which would be enough for them to spend.
This place was too damp, bad for their health.
He was studying to be a doctor and understood this.
When it was time to buy a house, he would ask someone to pull strings for them.
After all, his uncle knew many people here.
If necessary, he would dip into his elder brotherâs wallet to add some more.
âFor us?â
Looking at the card, Sang Zhilan couldnât believe what she was hearing.
