Elder Li, hearing that Gu Xinzhou had a congenital disability, hurriedly protected the eggs in his arms, "Really, really?"
The scarcity of food on the island meant that bird eggs were not available every day, and obtaining them involved danger.
Xiaoliang saw his reaction and nodded with a smile, "It's true! So, it's not meant to be, don't think too much about it!"
Xiaoli disagreed, "Even if he's crippled, he's still handsome!"
"Nonsense!" Elder Li glared at his grandson, "What do you know! A congenital disability implies that future children will be the same. I would rather you remain single all your life than have generation after generation of disabled offspring!"
"Grandpa!"
"Silence! Come back with me!"
Thus, the news that Gu Xinzhou had a congenital disability spread across the island.
Xiaoliang returned to her room, closed the door, and secretly shared this fact with Gu Xinzhou.
Gu Xinzhou was quick-witted and understood immediately.
