Gu Jingshen's adoptive parents were still stubborn, with a hint of arrogance on their faces, and they shouted loudly: "That's not true. I think you saw that our eldest son found a good family, and you came to take credit for it. Don't think I don't know that you coaxed our eldest son and treated him well because you saw that he had no parents. You wanted to make our eldest son sever ties with us and make him your son-in-law. Now you have come up with a confession, you are really shameless."

The old village chief's mother's face flushed with anger, and she shouted in a trembling voice, "Lihua, take a look at this letter first. If you think we're lying, you can take Yuehua to the hospital for a checkup to see if you're pregnant." Lihua was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting this outcome. She turned to look at her niece, and seeing Yang Yuehua lowering her head guiltily, she knew the story was real, and she couldn't help but curse her inwardly, "What a fool!"

Under the cold and murderous gaze of Mr. Gu, Yang Yuehua finally couldn't stand the pressure. With a trembling voice, she told the truth: "I... I am dating Sanmao from our village, but..."

Old Master Gu's eyes widened in anger as he shouted, "That's enough. Do you think anyone can bully my Gu family?"

The farce finally subsided after the arrival of the village elder's mother and daughter. However, Pan Lihua refused to give up and sat on the ground crying and throwing a tantrum: "I've raised you for so many years. Even if I haven't done anything for you, I've worked hard. If they break off the relationship, I'll go to the Rong District and make a scene, saying that Gu Jingshen is unfilial!" The sharp voice echoed in the house, making people feel upset.

Gu Rongchang's promotion was already affected by the illegitimate child issue, so he naturally didn't want his son's chance of promotion to be affected by this matter. Moreover, his son's current opportunity was more important than his. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and negotiated with the adoptive parents: "If you don't want to break off the relationship, then Jing Shen will give you five yuan a month for living expenses. Unless he is critically ill, you are not allowed to go to him at will."

This was not what they expected. When Yang Xianguo heard it, his face was full of dissatisfaction, and Pan Lihua looked even more reluctant.

The matter came to a standstill again.

...

Jiang Tang slept soundly at Meng Si Ning's place at noon, and slept until three or four o'clock. She got up in a daze, walked to the window and stretched, and happened to see Gu Jingshen sending Xia Qiu home. Looking at Xia Qiu's smiling face, Jiang Tang couldn't help but complain to Meng Si Ning: "These two don't look unhappy. Have they reconciled again?"

Meng Si Ning held two cups of coffee, handed one to Jiang Tang, and looked down: "Aren't we doing well?"

Jiang Tang took a sip of coffee and jokingly said, "Of course, they are the male and female protagonists after all, even though you are the insurmountable white moonlight. But after a long time, they can also get along with each other and develop feelings. Xia Qiu has been serving Gu Jingshen for more than half a month. In most novels, the male protagonists with white moonlights end up forgetting the white moonlight and falling in love with the female protagonist, don't they?"

"That's true. After what his adoptive parents did, he knows how good Xia Qiu is." Meng Si Ning frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Hey, look, Gu Jingshen even took a look at your yard. It seems he hasn't forgotten." Jiang Tang said, pointing outside the window.

Meng Si Ning shook his head, a trace of sympathy on his face: "I feel so sorry for the heroine."

As a result, the two of them had just finished drinking coffee and came down from upstairs when Xia Qiu arrived. Xia Qiu walked in briskly with an excited look on his face, shouting, "Jiang Tang, Si Ning, I want to tell you something."

Before Xia Qiu could finish, Jiang Tang couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "Gu Jingshen's adoptive parents are gone? Including his fiancée?" Xia Qiu nodded quickly and explained, "It's not a fiancée. Jingshen explained it to me. His adoptive parents deliberately fabricated it to tie him down. This is what his old village chief's mother said. Jingshen said that the old village chief helped him a lot when he was a child. His old village chief's mother has a relative here and said she wants to stay for a few days. Are you free later? Qiurong said she wants to go shopping. I, the daughter of old village chief Shen Qiurong, let's go together." Hearing this, Jiang Tang and Meng Si Ning quickly shook their heads. Meng Si Ning spoke first: "I'm not going. I have to write a manuscript in the afternoon."

Jiang Tang also said immediately: "I'm busy with business contacts recently, I'll leave soon."

Xia Qiu glanced at Jiang Tang and snorted, "Just keep busy with your own things. Who said anything about you?"

"...I didn't tell you either."

“…”

Xia Qiu was full of regret. She had originally wanted to ask Meng Si Ning to accompany her, but now it seemed that she could only find Chen Qingyu.

"Oh, by the way, Si Ning, I'm sorry. Didn't you give me two photos when you left? I lost one. I only gave one to Comrade Lu. I'm sorry. I clearly remember it was still there that night. Humph, it must have been that Pan Lihua who did it."

"It's lost, so it's lost. I'll send you another one another day." Meng Si Ning didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care.

After Xia Qiu left, Meng Si Ning rode his bike to the nearby post office.

I actually received something that Lu Cheng mailed. It was a huge package that Meng Si Ning could hardly move.

I put it at the back of the car and pushed it back.

But I didn't know that something fell out of the package.

It was picked up by Gu Junqi who was going out.

Gu Junqi looked at Meng Sining who had already walked away, and was stunned for a moment, even forgetting to chase after her and return the money to her.

Meng Si Ning only found out that the package had a hole in it when he returned home. The hole was very small, so nothing was probably missing.

When I opened it, I saw two boxes of pastries from Laojing City, two cans of food, a can of meat, a few sausages, and a pair of children's cotton gloves from Rong District. It was obvious that they were for my younger brother.

Meng Si Ning gently stroked the gloves, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, her heart filled with warmth. She put the things in order, thinking of giving her younger brother a surprise when he came back.

Jiang Tang thought about it and went straight to the provincial government to find the big boss Li Zhengmin.

When she arrived at the door, Jiang Tang was wondering how to get in when a car suddenly appeared at the door. It was Li Zhengmin's car and he recognized her at a glance.

He rolled down the window from the back seat and said, "Ginger Candy?"

Oh, is this the luck of her vicious female counterpart? Jiang Tang was delighted and quickly stepped forward and said, "Minister Li, long time no see, I was just looking for you."

Li Zhengmin spoke to the security guard and let Jiang Tang in.

Then he followed Li Zhengmin to the office. When he saw her, he didn't look too serious. With a smile on his face, he said, "I heard about your deeds in the commune. You did a good job, little girl. What's the matter with you coming here today?"

"I know you're busy, so I didn't dare to bother you any further. I'm also working part-time as the commune's liaison officer. A few days ago, I helped several brigades of this commune sell some agricultural products.

"August 15th is coming soon, and some factories in our city are very supportive of our work, having ordered a lot of agricultural products for the festival this year. This will help our members get rich and allow our agricultural products to be exported. I'm thinking, how can we lag behind the provincial government, so..." Jiang Tang said, carefully observing Li Zhengmin's expression.
