"Brother, sister-in-law, here is three thousand yuan. Please take it. Consider it as a debt I owe you over the years."

Gu Zhiyun knew that Gu Zhihui would definitely not accept the money, so he gave it directly to Wang Hongfang.

Wang Hongfang had never seen so much money before; her eyes nearly popped out of the envelope.

"Zhiyun, what are you doing? Take it back! We can't accept it!"

As soon as Gu Zhihui reached out, Wang Hongfang snatched the envelope and clutched it tightly to her chest.

"Why can't we accept it? Zhiyun already said it's compensation for us!"

Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun exchanged a glance.

It's good to accept it; if you don't, things could get complicated later.

"Brother, please take this. It's just a small token of our appreciation."

Chen Jing said, “My sister-in-law came to the city a while ago and said that forty yuan a month wasn’t enough. We’ve been thinking about this ever since. Even if we don’t eat or drink, we can’t let you down. So, we’ve scraped together three thousand yuan. Please don’t mind, this is all we can offer.”

Wang Hongfang was so happy to receive such a large sum of money that her mouth was crooked from smiling.

"If conditions permit, please find a good high school for Qingqing in the county town. We really can't help you with anything else."

After saying this calmly, she and Gu Zhiyun stood up together.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we need to go back early, we have things to do."

Gu Zhiyun and Shen Jingyan walked into the courtyard and waved goodbye to Gu Zhihui and Wang Hongfang.

Wang Hongfang still remembers the polite words: "Oh, you've come all this way, stay one night before you leave!"

The two smiled and shook their heads.

They needed to leave as soon as possible before Wang Hongfang made any new demands.

Gu Zhihui, holding Gu Zhiyun's arm, said shyly, "Brother, our family has caused you trouble..."

Shen Jingyan didn't hold much resentment towards him because this man was honest, dull, incapable of managing the household, and had little say, but his heart was good. Perhaps he didn't expect Gu Zhiyun to repay his kindness for the rest of his life, so he felt a lot of guilt towards Gu Zhiyun.

Gu Zhiyun exchanged a few more polite words with him before getting into the car with Shen Jingyan.

Gu Qing was enjoying the envious glances and praises from the villagers at the gate when she suddenly saw the jeep driving out of the gate. She hurriedly went up and knocked on the glass window.

"Uncle, Aunt, are you leaving already? I've come all this way to come back, can you stay one more night before you go?"

She hadn't had enough of showing off yet. This was the first time in her life she had become the center of attention, so she had to gloat as much as she could.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jingyan rolled down the window, a relieved smile on her face, and said:

"Qingqing, didn't you know you were expelled from school? You should just stick to your studies in town; schools in the capital aren't for you!"

After saying that, the car stepped on the gas and sped away.

Gu Qing was covered in dust and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

They just left like that, abandoning her at home?

"Uncle, Aunt, wait for me! I want to go back! I promise I'll study hard, I promise I'll pass all the exams next time, don't leave me behind!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the entire village, Gu Qing chased after the car exhaust fumes all the way.

But the car showed no sign of stopping!

When they reached the village entrance, the car had vanished. Gu Qing collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

"I want to go to the city! I'm a city person! I want to study in the city!"

Wang Hongfang caught up, panting, and dragged Gu Qing back by the arm.

"Come on, come on, let's go home! Aren't you ashamed enough? If it weren't for your lack of ambition, our whole family would have moved to the city long ago!"

Gu Qing refused to go home no matter what. In her heart, the home in the city was the real home, where she could eat fish and meat every day and wear new clothes.

She was just boasting to the villagers about how great life in the city was, but in the blink of an eye, she turned into a country bumpkin again!

Wang Hongfang received a large sum of money and was temporarily satisfied. She scolded Gu Qing a few times and then let it go.

The big problem that had plagued the Gu family for years was finally resolved, and both Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun felt relaxed on their way home.

Wang Hongfang took the three thousand yuan and wouldn't ask the Gu family for money for several years.

A few years later, they planned to move their whole family into a newly purchased apartment. By then, even if Wang Hongfang came looking for the Gu family, she wouldn't be able to find them.

With no worries left, Chen Jingyan yawned lazily.

At this moment, the system popped up, saying in a cheerful tone:

"Congratulations, dear master! You have successfully sent Gu Qing back to her hometown. The 500,000 points have been credited to your account. You can now redeem whatever you want!"

Shen Jingyan immediately used 10,000 points to exchange for high-quality wheat seeds.

The farmland has been plowed again and is ready to be planted with wheat seeds.

Shen Jingyan plans to deliver the wheat seeds to the farm tomorrow.

As evening approached, with fifty kilometers still to go before reaching the capital, the two stopped at a service area, ate some dry food, and drank some water.

Gu Zhiyun originally wanted to drive back immediately, but Shen Jingyan didn't want him to drive while fatigued, so she secretly added some spiritual spring water to his water to refresh him.

"Brother Yun, I'm so sleepy, I want to go to the back seat and take a nap."
