Fang Jiangtao gave her a strange look: "Where did you hear that from?"
The wife said angrily, "How did you find out? The news even reached our workplace. I..."
Fang Jiangtao wasn't upset at all, and said, "You don't need to worry about that. The happier he is now, the higher he climbs. In a few days, he'll fall down, and that will be terrible."
His wife, puzzled, leaned closer and asked curiously, "What's going on? Don't you trust me?"
Thinking of his wife's gossip and big mouth, Fang Jiangtao thought for a moment and warned, "You'd better not go around talking nonsense. Keep a low profile these next few days. Once I get promoted, everything will be fine."
Gu Yunyang was completely unaware of any of this at the time.
However, it's easy to guess that these were deliberately planted by him long ago.
Dongshan Village.
Gu Changzhu lay on the bed and said to his second brother beside him, "You don't know, Gu Yunyang is in a terrible state. I saw a big bag of clothes in his bag before, and I thought he was living a good life in the capital."
As it turned out, not a single piece of clothing in that huge bag was new; they were all old and worn, patched up and completely faded from washing. They were all unwanted by others. The crossbody bag was clearly an old schoolbag, with a large hole in it.
Gu Changsong recalled Gu Yunyang, whom he had seen before, and couldn't help but sigh, "This kid was switched at birth and didn't have a good life. He was so thin, basically skin and bones, with no meat on his bones. If you took off your clothes, you'd see nothing but skin and bones."
Hao Pingping came out for a drink of water and overheard the conversation between the two brothers.
I felt uneasy.
Although he's not my son, he's still my nephew.
How well did Gu Chang'an live in the old Gu family?
Gu Yunyang seemed to have suffered all kinds of abuse in the capital; it's no wonder he was in a bad mood.
She nudged Gu Hanping and said, "Tell me, was this baby swap an accident or intentional?"
Gu Hanping hadn't thought about this before, but Hao Pingping's sudden reminder made him sit up abruptly: "You know what, could it be that this child was really switched at birth? But why would that be?"
"They're officials in the capital, and we're just a country family. If it weren't intentional, would an official's family really be deprived of food? Would they even refuse to make us new clothes?"
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and he almost couldn't sleep all night.
Gu Yunyang was different at this moment. He was eating the golden-edged lychees he had just taken out of the base space, and the enjoyment he felt was indescribable.
"These lychees are so sweet and juicy."
This is truly extraordinary; it weighs over a thousand pounds. We can eat it slowly. In three months, another batch will naturally grow; we won't be able to finish it all.
After finishing his meal, he tidied up and went to bed.
The bed board was indeed dry. He found a mat and put a quilt underneath it.
It was a new quilt that the Gu family had made before, and it had never been used.
Gu Yunyang took it and used it as a mattress pad to place underneath.
To be honest, having gotten used to the soft mattress of a Simmons mattress, he really wasn't used to this hard bed board.
"I got used to the train bed during my few days in Northeast China."
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, Gu Yunyang also got up very early.
I took a bucket, filled it with water, and washed up briefly.
Gu Yunyang took out the Beijing Eight Delicacies for breakfast.
The two girls woke up a little late and saw that Gu Yunyang was already eating, so they quickly blushed and went to wash up.
"Thank you so much for getting us water."
Gu Yunyang swallowed the snack and waved his hand, "It's nothing. The water in this well is quite cold, and it's even steaming. I figured I'd need it anyway, so I drew some water first. It'll warm up later so you can use it too. It's just something I did conveniently."
Actually, he used the water from the base's space.
"By the way, you guys should eat something quickly. I'll go ask the brigade leader if Old Zheng is going to town today. We still need to buy some things, at least all the daily necessities, and an iron pot, we have to buy that, otherwise we won't know how to eat."
