Chen Jingyan was sleeping soundly.

Gu Zhiyun breathed softly as he quietly approached his wife, greedily inhaling her fragrance.

He was in so much pain that he was on the verge of exploding.

He held his breath, grasped Shen Jingyan's wrist, and guided her hand to his abdominal muscles.

And then it continued downwards.

In her dream, Shen Jingyan saw a bumper harvest on the farm. She happily hugged the golden corn cobs and stroked the plump kernels with her fingers.

In reality, Gu Zhiyun let out a very soft groan, and his whole body relaxed.

He quickly wiped his wife's hands clean.

After destroying the evidence, he returned to his makeshift bed as if nothing had happened.

The next day, when Shen Jingyan woke up, she felt a soreness in her right hand, as if she had been holding something for a long time.

She didn't pay much attention, thinking she had accidentally pressed her hand down while sleeping.

Nothing happened to Gu Qing at school these past few days, and Shen Jingyan hasn't received any more calls from He Haowen.

After a few days of calm, Shen Jingyan felt that the matter was over.

Gu Zhiyun has been behaving very well these days. As long as He Haowen is not mentioned, he behaves very rationally.

On Friday evening, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan returned home after class. Gu Huaiqian was drinking tea in the living room, looking somewhat serious.

"Jingya, Zhiyun, you're back?"

Shen Jingyan carefully observed Gu Huaiqian's expression and noticed an open letter on the coffee table, and she understood the situation quite well.

"Dad, has my cousin's family written again?"

Gu Huaiqian didn't intend to hide it and handed the letter to Gu Zhiyun.

The two huddled together and read it, their brows furrowing in disapproval.

The letter was probably written by Wang Hongfang; the handwriting was crooked and full of typos, clearly indicating a lack of education.

The tone of the letter was exactly the same as her tone when she spoke; both were the kind of people who would make demands as soon as they opened their mouths, and who felt that they were entitled to whatever they wanted.

She said that this year's harvest was not good, and she still had two children in school. Twenty yuan a month was not enough to cover their expenses. In order to ease the burden on the Gu family, she planned to bring her family to settle in the city and ask the Gu family to find her a job that was easy and paid more, preferably in an office.

Shen Jingyan was dumbfounded. Where did this woman's confidence come from?

Someone whose education level is below second grade is already trying to find an office job in the city?

They bring their families to the city, claiming it's to ease the burden on their families.

Perhaps they envy the city dwellers' lives and want to leave the land completely to enjoy a life of luxury in the city?

"Dad, Yun-ge, we can't let their family come. If they come, they'll become a huge burden on our family. They'll cling to us and we won't be able to get rid of them!"

Gu Huaiqian frowned and said, "Wang Hongfang likes to act first and ask questions later. She's not discussing this with us, she's just informing us. She's probably already getting ready to leave."

"Then call their village committee and tell them not to come for the next few days, as we won't be home and there will be no one to entertain them if they come."

Shen Jingyan reacted quickly and immediately came up with a way to delay: "Gu Qing's midterm exam results will be out in a day or two. When that happens, we'll take the expulsion notice and send Gu Qing home directly."

Just then, the phone rang.

Gu Zhiyun answered the phone.

He answered a few words and then hung up, the gloom on his face dissipating considerably.

“Jingya, it’s He Haowen calling. He said the midterm exam results are out, and Gu Qing will bring the report card home tonight. But he’s afraid Gu Qing won’t show it to us and will lie, so he’s letting us know in advance.”

Shen Jingyan hurriedly asked, "How did she do on the exam?"

"Just as we expected, he failed every subject, ranking last in the class and third from last in the entire grade."

Gu Zhiyun said, "The school originally wanted to give her a warning, but considering that she made two big mistakes, selling autographed photos at the school gate and fighting with Anzi, plus her terrible exam results, the school decided to expel her directly. Tomorrow, they will ask us to sign the expulsion notice."

Chen Jingyan let out a long sigh of relief.

"Those who reap what they sow will not live!"

When Gu Qing came home from school, she immediately said she was hungry.

After dinner, she lazily yawned and went into the house, without mentioning her midterm exam results the entire time.

Neither Shen Jingyan nor Gu Zhiyun asked.

They made a detailed plan to ensure that Gu Qing could be safely sent home and that their cousin's family's exploitative behavior could be resolved once and for all.

On Friday night, Shen Jingyan told Gu Qing, "Pack your luggage, I'll take you home to visit tomorrow."

Gu Qing was enjoying good food and drink in the city and could wear beautiful clothes; she was so happy that she didn't want to leave.

Why go home?

“You haven’t been home for over a month. Your parents wrote to say they miss you. Your uncle and I have never been to your home, so we thought we’d take you back to visit and say hello to your parents.”

Gu Qing was naive and thought it was just going home for the weekend, so she readily agreed.

Early Saturday morning, Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan brought Gu Qing to the Xu family home.
