"You are Changjun?"
Zhang Yujie's voice came through, tinged with hesitation and a complex emotion.
Gu Changjun, however, seemed oblivious to the complexity in Zhang Yujie's words, and said loudly, "Yes, Mom, it's me, Changjun. How have you been lately?"
It's been several years.
There wasn't even a letter, just a sudden phone call.
Zhang Yujie knew without a doubt that Gu Changjun must have encountered some trouble.
But she didn't ask.
In recent years, she and Gu Chang'an have been living in the capital, leading a simple yet busy life.
Her colleagues at the supply and marketing cooperative looked down on her because of her previous arrogance.
Although she didn't fight with her, Zhang Yujie found it hard to accept the contempt and neglect she received in the past.
However, after a few years, Zhang Yujie has become more or less able to accept it.
She just didn't expect that Gu Changjun, who hadn't been heard from for several years, would suddenly call.
She felt a slight discomfort, but then Zhang Yujie composed herself and asked, "Changjun, how are you? I'm fine."
In recent years, Gu Changsong has also tried to find a job, but unfortunately, jobs are not so easy to find.
If the family had money, they might be able to buy a job.
Gu Chang'an was uneducated and incompetent; Zhang Yujie later learned that Gu Chang'an hadn't even graduated from elementary school.
She thought Gu Hansheng and Ning An were so incompetent that they wouldn't even send their son to school.
She at least managed to get Gu Yunyang into high school.
Although Gu Yunyang earned his own tuition, he was only able to attend high school because his teachers strongly urged him to.
Although Gu Chang'an is literate, he has no diploma, so it is basically impossible for him to find a good job.
He can't do things like carrying bags.
With Gu Anning's situation added to the mix, it's become even more difficult for Gu Chang'an to find a job in the capital.
She's the only one earning a salary in the family, supporting two people, which is indeed quite difficult.
In particular, Gu Anning's accommodation privileges were revoked because he was arrested and sent to a lower-level position.
She needs to find another place to stay.
The supply and marketing cooperative refused to allocate her a house, either saying there were no houses available or that other people were more qualified and she had to wait in line.
Zhang Yujie experienced for the first time what it felt like to have to queue for everything.
In the past, Zhang Yujie would only get anxious and upset when she saw others getting into these kinds of problems.
Now it was her turn, and Zhang Yujie felt incredibly uncomfortable.
After exchanging greetings, Gu Changjun got down to business and began to complain to Zhang Yujie, "Mom, you have no idea."
"You don't know, when we went to the countryside, the first thing I saw when I arrived was Gu Yunyang. You don't know, that kid was so awful."
"And Changhong, Mom, you don't know, she's so disobedient..."
“Dad is in trouble too, he’s been arrested.”
Gu Changjun recounted in detail everything that had happened in the past few years.
He criticizes others in his words and actions, as if he himself is a perfect person without any problems.
All these words were implied that others had wronged him.
He did nothing wrong.
Zhang Yujie didn't know why, but she also seemed a little annoyed by what she heard.
But Zhang Yujie was shocked when she heard the last sentence: "What happened to your father?"
She didn't know what was going on inside her.
Suddenly it started rolling around.
If she heard correctly, something seemed to have happened to Gu Anning.
Gu Changjun was taken aback, then continued, "My dad went to the countryside, he..."
He was just about to say something about Gu Anning's trip to the countryside.
At first, Gu Anning only focused her attention on him and Gu Changhong.
