Chapter 304 Playing the victim

On my way home to the affiliated hospital, I ran into Li Yajing, who was buying things in the city.

Gu Yihan greeted her with a smile, "Sister Ya Jing."

Li Yajing was sitting on the back of her brother's bicycle when she heard Gu Yihan's voice.

He turned his head and looked at her with a smile: "Xiao Han, you're off work!"

Gu Yihan nodded with a smile.

Li Yaqing raised her hand and patted her brother on the back, introducing him: "Brother, this is Xiaohan, my friend."

"Xiao Han, this is my brother, Li Tao."

Gu Yihan and Li Tao nodded to each other in greeting.

"Sister Ya Jing, have you finished buying your dowry?"

Li Yajing shook her head and said, "We just bought a few things. We'll buy the rest back in Beijing. Otherwise, it's too much trouble to go back and forth to Taoteng."

"Jingshi?"

"Yes, Secretary Chang and I were transferred back to Beijing in three months."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Hu Shan had mentioned that Secretary Chang's family was from Beijing.

"By the way, Xiaohan, will you be going back to Jinyang City in the future?"

Gu Yihan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know yet."

She figured she probably wouldn't go back, since Lu Huailin was unlikely to be transferred to Beijing again.

Their family will definitely settle down there.

Li Yajing: "Xiao Han, many people are eyeing your little courtyard."

"They've all come here after finding out about me. I don't know who told them you know me, and they want to find out about you through me."

Gu Yihan looked at Li Yaqing with surprise and asked in confusion, "Are you asking about me?"

"Yes, they said they wanted to buy your little courtyard."

"But I didn't tell them that. I just said I couldn't get in touch with you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan didn't think too much about it and said with a smile, "I definitely won't sell that house."

The two chatted and laughed all the way until they entered the family compound.

As they parted, Li Yajing said, "I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, you absolutely have to come!"

Gu Yihan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Secretary Chang has already told me. But where are you holding the banquet?"

Li Yajing smiled and told her the address.

Gu Yihan looked at Li Yajing in surprise. Wasn't that the house where Hu Shan used to live?

Secretary Chang is really being unfair. Is she deliberately trying to annoy Hu Shan or Li Yajing?

Looking at Li Yaqing's smiling face, he swallowed the words he wanted to say.

We're getting married soon, so I shouldn't spoil her good mood.

Lu Family Courtyard

Gu Yihan returned home, placed her handbag on the shelf behind the door, and watched Lu Huailin serving rice.

He smiled and said, "Your timing is getting better and better."

Lu Huailin looked up and joked, "This isn't about timing; it's about our unspoken understanding as husband and wife."

In the bedroom, Hao Hao heard Gu Yihan's voice and threw down the comic book he was holding.

He ran out, hugged her leg, and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, thank you for your hard work!"

"Oh, Mommy's little darling, you know how hard Mommy works?"

Gu Yihan smiled, bent down, and picked him up.

Hao Hao casually put his arm around his mother's neck and gently rubbed his cheek against hers.

The little girl said with a guilty tone, "Dad said that Mom works hard every day to earn money to support me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused for a moment, then glared at Lu Huailin.

I'll deal with him later.

She quickly kissed Hao Hao's cheek and smiled, "Although Mommy is tired, seeing my baby fills me with strength as soon as I get home."

Upon hearing this, Hao Hao's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Gu Yihan looked into Hao Hao's eyes and said seriously, "It's true, Hao Hao is the power transmitter for Mom and Dad."

Hao Hao leaned over and gave Gu Yihan a quick kiss on the cheek.

He felt a great sense of accomplishment because he could give his mother and father strength.

Lu Huailin was unaware that he was conveying negative emotions to Hao Hao.

"Honey, don't hold Hao Hao anymore. He's three years old and doesn't have any manly spirit at all."

"She's like a girl, she likes to act cute and clingy."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan was speechless and glared at Lu Huailin, saying, "How old is he? What kind of manly spirit does he need?"

"Besides, if we don't hug him more while he's still little, he won't be able to hug us when he grows up."

Lu Huailin chuckled: "I can't argue with you. No matter what, you're right."

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

Gu Yihan ignored Lu Huailin, placed Hao Hao on a chair in front of the dining table, and turned to go out to wash her hands.

"Don't always let Mom carry you. You're not a little kid anymore. You should know that men and women shouldn't touch each other."

Lu Huailin reached out and patted Hao Hao's little head, giving him instructions.

Hao Hao blinked his big, innocent eyes and stared intently at Lu Huailin without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Huailin reached out and tapped Hao Hao's little nose, laughing, "Little rascal."

After dinner, the family chatted in bed.

"I ran into Grandma on my way home from get off work today."

Gu Yihan sighed as she thought of her grandmother's pitiful appearance.

Lu Huailin paused in his embrace of his wife, then asked, "Grandma, is something wrong?"

Gu Yihan did not hide anything and told him about Grandma Gu's current situation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Grandma Gu is deliberately trying to gain sympathy from her daughter-in-law.

"Honey, my transfer order should be issued next month. From now on, the pension money for Grandma will be the same as before, just mail it to her."

Gu Yihan nodded and said, "Okay, out of sight, out of mind."

On the other side

Grandma Gu finished washing and drying all the family's clothes in the yard; it was already past nine o'clock at night.

She walked into the house, rubbing her back, and saw Qin Shou sitting on a bench with his legs crossed.

He asked in confusion, "Grandson-in-law, it's so late, why aren't you going back to your room to sleep?"

"Grandma, Kanglong has adapted to the environment of the factory's nursery. When are you going back to your hometown?"

Qin Shou looked at Grandma Gu expressionlessly and said coldly.

Grandma Gu didn't say anything upon hearing this, and lowered her eyelids.

Qin Shou knew this day would come when she sent Kang Long to the factory's nursery two days ago.

She just didn't expect it to come so quickly, disrupting her plans.

"What? You think you can just eat and drink here for free?"

Qin Shou raised his voice, his tone tinged with impatience.

He truly never expected that this old geezer would spend all the money he gave him every month, leaving nothing behind.

Because Grandma Gu has a rural household registration, she doesn't have access to commercial grain. In order to avoid going hungry, she has no choice but to buy expensive grain on the black market.

He spends half of his salary on expensive grain every month. Who can afford to feed him?

Grandma Gu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Didn't you say you would take care of me in my old age?"

"It's only been less than a year, and you've already gone back on your word?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou glanced at Grandma Gu.

He scoffed, "You have a son now, so why should your divorced grandson-in-law take care of you in your old age?"

When Grandma Gu heard Qin Shou's words, her heart trembled and her eyes reddened.

"You can't be so heartless. I've been helping you raise Kanglong."

"If it weren't for the fact that you raised Kanglong, do you think I would be sitting here calmly discussing this with you?"

After Qin Shou finished speaking, he stood up, walked up to Grandma Gu, and said coldly, "I'll give you two days to pack your things and leave my house."
