Throw them away!
Elder Gu and Gu Youfu were shocked, staring in horror at Ms. Zhang. This woman actually wanted to throw them away; how could she dare?
Gu Chengli felt a sense of relief hearing this, but he didn't show it. He just cried and said, "Mother, both Dad and Grandpa are paralyzed. If we throw them away, wouldn't that be…" killing them?
No, it would be worse than killing them directly.
If they encountered wild dogs or beasts from the mountains, they would be torn apart. Even if they didn't, just being left here, unable to move, they would starve to death.
Ms. Zhang held Gu Chengli's hand and chuckled, "My son, I know you have a kind heart, but we have no choice now. Besides, we're not abandoning them; we're just temporarily leaving them here. Once we find Sister Rong and get Zhan Family's silver, we'll come back to bring them to enjoy a good life. What a great thing!"
