Song Simu's arrival eased the atmosphere somewhat.
Gu Yunyang asked Song Simu and Gu Hongmei to go aside and express their feelings.
Gu Hanping pointed at Hao Pingping, who said, "I was just trying to be helpful. I didn't even take an egg, let alone any benefits..."
Gu Yunyang also stopped Gu Hanping: "Uncle, you don't need to say anything more. Aunt meant well, but from now on, we all need to open our eyes and see things clearly."
What did you call me?
Even after all this time, Gu Hanping still calls Hao Pingping "Auntie," but he always calls her "Captain."
At this moment, Gu Yunyang actually called him uncle.
Gu Yunyang said, "I've thought it through. Even if I deny my identity, Gu Hansheng and Ning An will still do what they want to do. So there's no need for me to change my life because of them."
"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Hanping was so happy that he even forgave Hao Pingping's mistake earlier.
Hao Pingping was also somewhat happy. Gu Hanping had kept the fact that Gu Yunyang would never call him "uncle" to himself for several years.
Now I can let it go.
After a while, Song Simu brought Gu Hongmei back and said, "I've already made arrangements with my family."
Tonight, I will leave with nothing. From now on, I will receive two yuan a month as a pension. I don't need to worry about anything else.
I've already received the documents for the family division, and everyone in the clan has signed them.
Song Simu had already taken out the documents, and Gu Yunyang took them and read them carefully.
Hao Pingping, unaware of what had happened, asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Honglan hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is my eldest sister's colleague at the sugar factory. He likes my eldest sister."
In just a few words, he explained the situation of Song Simu and Gu Hongmei.
Hao Pingping said worriedly, "We have nothing. How are we going to live like this?"
Gu Yunyang said, "Money is just an external thing. As long as you are a good person, you can get these things back."
Song Simu, you probably don't have anywhere to stay since you're out today. I still have a courtyard house in the commune. Anyway, I'm going to university in Guangzhou, and I probably won't be coming back to the commune after I graduate.
I'll lend it to you first. It's fully furnished, with everything else included, even rice, flour, and cooking utensils. You can move in now.
I'll lend you some more money. In a couple of days, no, tomorrow, you can come to the Hongqi Brigade to formally propose marriage.
It doesn't matter if you have nothing. The dowry I prepared for my eldest sister is enough for you to live on.
If you feel embarrassed about relying on women for a living, then earn more money and pay me back later; consider it a loan.
After what happened to Liang Muze's family, Gu Hongmei will definitely be gossiped about in the brigade.
Since that's the case, let's settle it as soon as possible and marry Gu Hongmei off.
At that time, the couple will live in the commune, and no one will have anything to say about it.
Song Simu never expected such a turn of events.
He smiled and said, "It's not impossible to live off my brother-in-law. But don't worry, I'll pay you back everything I owe you."
On the way back, Gu Hongmei was too shy to speak.
Gu Honglan then asked, "Were those debt collectors hired by you, Yunyang?"
Gu Yunyang nodded: "I have some friends in the commune who said they saw Liang Muze gambling. I reckon he must be in debt, otherwise, why would he be looking for Gu Anning?"
Gu Anning's role in this matter is difficult to explain.
If there hadn't been this debt collection issue...
He said it was money from the matchmaker.
There's no rule that says you can't give two hundred to a matchmaker.
But the debt collection incident occurred, which cannot be explained by the matchmaker's money alone.
Does he know about this matter, and what role did he play in it?
