Gu Anning was feeling smug when Zhang Yujie poured cold water on her enthusiasm, and her face immediately turned cold.
But thinking about his upcoming good fortune, he became smug again: "Don't worry, my matter will be resolved soon. What will this little thing be then?"
He wasn't worried at all; a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and he wasn't just hiding those things.
Besides, once you get promoted at work, those things will be a piece of cake, won't they?
Gu Chang'an didn't care at first, and things were going quite well for the first few days after he came back.
We moved to a better room with better lighting, and the food is also good.
Not to mention that we can eat rice for our main meals, we're now eating refined grains.
Normally, he can eat any kind of snack he wants.
As a result, after only a few days of good fortune, the family's life took a sharp turn for the worse.
Forget about snacks, we even have to eat whole grains for meals.
This made him very dissatisfied; he felt that this kind of life was worse than living in the countryside.
The whole family provides for him, and he gets to eat a dry meal every day, which is white rice.
And that bicycle is gone too.
However, he didn't want to go back to his hometown. His father in the capital said he was about to get a promotion.
Things will be easier then.
"Dad, are you getting a promotion?"
Gu Chang'an's voice was so loud that it startled Gu Anning.
"Keep your voice down. This matter hasn't been decided yet; it's just been rumored."
He was still somewhat proud when he said the second half of his sentence.
He was very pleased with himself at the thought that he would soon be able to suppress Fang Jiangtao.
"Dad, I've got my eye on a watch, a Seagull brand."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you when Dad gets promoted."
Gu Anning readily agreed and glanced back at Zhang Yujie.
Zhang Yujie looked over, and Gu Anning understood what she wanted to say.
"See? Trust me. As long as we leave our son there and bring that family's son over, all their good fortune will be ours."
Gu Anning frowned. Although it was true, she couldn't say it out loud.
After giving Zhang Yujie a warning, Gu Anning smiled and said, "I heard that a batch of goods is coming in at the Friendship Store soon, including some nice bags. You can go and take a look then."
Gu Changhong immediately came over: "Dad, I want a bag too."
Gu Anning was in a good mood and was about to agree when Zhang Yujie scolded her, "What do you want a bag for? You should go find a job. Don't just stay at home all day doing nothing and eating for free."
Gu Changhong felt somewhat aggrieved; her status had plummeted since her younger brother returned.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have been better off not coming back. Gu Yunyang is so much better."
Gu Chang'an, who was nearby, heard everything clearly and immediately glared at her: "Mom, Gu Changhong said she couldn't be happier that I didn't come back. She even said she wanted me to suffer in the countryside."
Gu Changhong: ...
That's what she thought, but she didn't say it.
"No, I just thought that if Gu Yunyang were home, he would be the one doing all the housework."
"You still say that? A girl shouldn't act like a girl. From today onwards, you'll learn to cook and do laundry. I'm so old, do you really expect me to serve you?"
...
Fang Jiangtao's home, Fang Jiangtao has just arrived home.
His wife leaned closer and said, "I heard that Gu Anning from your workplace is getting a promotion. What about you?"
