Gu Jin only realized after her death that the only one who collected her corpse and ruthlessly avenged her was the 'little wolf cub' she had once shown kindness to with a meal.
After ...
Chapter 71 The prosperity of Wanhai City
Before leaving, he told Gu Jiajie: "Brother Jie, hurry up and get two hours of sleep. We will go to the county and take a bus to the city after dawn."
"Got it. Remember to call me when the time comes."
Gu Jin responded and went back to the house with the bag of money.
She roughly calculated and found that she had one thousand four hundred and seventy-three yuan and ninety-seven cents.
This money was earned after three days of hard work, but unfortunately it was a drop in the bucket to meet her needs three months later.
She sighed silently, lay on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
…
The next day, just after dawn, Gu Jin opened his eyes.
She did not stay in bed and doze off. Instead, she got up, dressed, washed up, and woke up her cousin who was still sleeping.
Gu Jin left a letter for the little wolf cub, placed it next to his pillow, picked up the flowered bag and left the room.
Chen Hong had also woken up. Seeing that her son and Gu Jin had woken up early, she asked, "Why are you up so early? What are you going to do?"
Gu Jiajie rubbed his hair and said, "Go to the county, someone wants to buy pork."
Chen Hong watched the two people leave the house and felt puzzled. Why didn't they take the meat away when someone bought it?
She tilted her head and walked into the kitchen with confusion.
Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie rode their bicycles to the town, dropped their bicycles off at Liu Pingyuan's brother-in-law's house, and then took the bus to the county.
When I arrived at the county, I ordered two bowls of wontons and some fried dough sticks at a state-owned restaurant. After eating, I went to the county bus station and took a bus to Wanhai City.
Wanhai City is a city that leads the fashion forefront of the Lingyu Continent, and its economy is also a leader.
There were no tall buildings like those of later generations here, but it was still very prosperous. There were many cars on the streets and countless men and women riding bicycles.
There are various shops on both sides of the street. It is only nine o'clock in the morning, but there are already dense crowds of people on both sides of the street. They are dressed fashionably and boldly, wandering around the street and the shops on both sides.
Among these people, there are locals from Wanhai City as well as those who came from other places to work hard. Everyone has a longing and expectation for life on their face.
The economy of the Spirit Realm Continent is getting better and better, and people's faces are filled with bright smiles. Life will only become more and more comfortable in the future.
This was Gu Jiajie’s first time in Wanhai City. He felt like his eyes were not enough to see everything and everything he saw was very strange.
Especially when I was sitting in the car and staring at the clothes and appearance of the young men and women on the street, I finally understood the meaning of what my cousin said last night.
Wanhai City is really different from their county. They do not belong to the same world. The two cannot be compared at all. They are even more different from the villagers of Qingshan Village.
Seeing the prosperity of Wanhai City, Gu Jiajie did not feel inferior. Determination flashed in his eyes, and a kind of ambition appeared in his eyes.
The conductor began to shout: "We have arrived at Wanhai City Department Store. Anyone getting off? We have arrived at Wanhai City Department Store..."
The car slowly stopped in front of a six-story department store.
Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie got out of the car. Their attire was so out of place with the surroundings.
The brother and sister were not afraid of the strange looks from the people around them, and they looked up at the magnificent department store in front of them.
The six-story department store made Gu Jiajie feel so insignificant.
"Brother Jie, let's go in."
Gu Jin reminded.
“Here it comes!”
Gu Jiajie lowered his head and followed the footsteps of his cousin who was walking in front of him.
The two stepped into the first floor of the department store and saw large household items everywhere, as well as some glass counters.
