Chapter 010 I feel like I have lived in vain

Gu Laosan and the others didn't realize until they had walked far away that there was a tall and handsome officer next to Gu Xiaoxi. They seemed to be together?

Never mind, even though I lost two dollars, it’s better than being beaten to death by my own dad!

He was the only one who knew the secret of the post office remittance slip. His father told him at the time that if he told anyone else, he would be beaten to death!

Here, Gu Xiaoxi sat in the car, quietly looking at the two yuan in his hand.

Uncle San is a stingy person. He is always the one asking others for money and he would never give money to others easily.

Today is really abnormal!

Is it because of what that woman said?

Post Office Money Transfer?

Apart from her brother who was in the army and sometimes sent money to send packages, there were no other relatives living outside their home.

Who would send money to grandpa?

Seeing his wife looking at the two pieces of money, Lu Jiansen was a little confused: "Is there anything special about these two pieces of money?"

Gu Xiaoxi put the two pieces of money away and explained, "My third uncle is very stingy. My family doesn't have any relatives outside of town, so it's strange for someone to send money to my grandfather."

Lu Jiansen thought for a moment before saying, "From your uncle's reaction just now, it seems that he is afraid that you will tell others that someone in the post office has transferred money. Those two dollars should be hush money."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, I feel the same way."

That’s why I find it strange!

"I'll ask the post office to help check it out later!" Lu Jiansen said softly.

"Yes. If it's not too much trouble, let's check it out!"

She didn't know about this in her previous two lives, so now she feels that her grandparents hid it too well.

After returning home, she found an opportunity to whisper a few words to her mother in the room, mentioning that she had seen her uncle and the woman in the hospital and heard their conversation.

Jiang Xiuqing was also very surprised after hearing this. "I have been married to your father for so many years, and I have never heard that the Gu family has relatives from other places, nor have I heard of anyone sending money."

Gu Xiaoxi whispered, "Uncle San was afraid that I would tell others, so he gave me two yuan. Mom, do you think it's strange?"

Jiang Xiuqing's eyes widened when she heard this. "That's definitely weird. Your third uncle is a man who only wants to take advantage of others. I think this is really weird. I'll tell your dad tonight."

"Um!"

"By the way, Xiaoxi, Aunt Jiansen means that even if we hold the wedding banquet at the bride's house today, your room will be used as the wedding room. Later, when Jiansen has a vacation, we can return to Kyoto to hold the wedding banquet again."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay."

"Also, the Lu family paid 660 yuan for the engagement and 990 yuan for the wedding, which is a bit too much. Your father and I mean that you can take all this money with you, and we will give you some more, so that you can take a total of 2,200 yuan to the army..."

Hearing what her mother said, Gu Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't need to bring so much money. Six hundred is enough for me."

She is a rich person now, with nearly two thousand dollars in her pocket!

Jiang Xiuqing smiled and tapped her head. "Don't bring it with you. It's not like home outside. Just bring some clothes with you. You can buy the rest when you get to the unit. If you don't have tickets, you can exchange them with others."

Gu Xiaoxi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to mom."

Jiang Xiuqing was amused by her daughter's well-behaved appearance. "Bring your recent thick clothes and wedding quilt. I'll send them to you when the time comes."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi responded, then took out the watch and radio that Lu Jiansen bought today.

"Mom, Lu Jiansen bought a watch for two yuan. This one is for you. The radio is for grandpa. Dad's are cigarettes and wine..."

Jiang Xiuqing listened to her daughter's chattering, feeling both relieved and reluctant!

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Gu Xiaoxi was rushed into the room to wash and dress up.

Of course, all she had to do was take a shower, comb her hair, and put on a brand new green military uniform.

In the kitchen, the food needed for the wedding banquet had been prepared. Gu Yimin made a special trip to his parents' house and invited them over for dinner.

Old Mrs. Gu had something on her mind and didn't dare to go, so she made an excuse that she had a headache and didn't go.

In the end, Old Man Gu did go, but when he saw the neighbors who came to pay their respects, his first words were...

"Yimin, your mother and I have run out of money. We won't pay for Xiaoxi's wedding. There's nothing we can do about it."

Gu Xiaomei, who followed behind, immediately responded, "Brother, there was a fire at home yesterday. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any money. Wait for me to get it when I get home!"

Liu Chunhua wanted to refuse, but she didn't want to look good, so she smiled and said, "We gave our parents 50 yuan last night, and Dali is going to go to the countryside soon, so we can't make ends meet right now. When Xiaoxi gets married, our family will give 10 yuan, and we'll give her the balance later."

Gu Yimin didn't originally want them to pay, but when they said that, he felt very uncomfortable.

Jiang Xiuqing felt the same way, so she kept silent.

Gu Xiaoxi came out of the room and just happened to hear this. She walked forward and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Gu Xinli will definitely get married in the future, and then the aunt won't have to make up for it. It will be the same as what our family gave her."

Jiang Xiuqing nodded immediately after hearing this and took over the conversation, "Yes, it's so troublesome to give and take. It will be settled when Dali gets married. My sister-in-law Jiakangzi will also be getting married soon. It must be difficult for the family to make ends meet. You don't have to give. Just think of it as both of our families giving. Just have an idea in mind!"

Gu Xiaomei's face suddenly turned dark.

She gave birth to a son. Can the money spent on his wedding and the gift money be the same as those for that dead girl?

Gu Xiaoxi didn't care whether these people were happy or not, and turned around to look for Lu Jiansen.

At this moment, the sound of a bicycle ring suddenly came from outside the door.

Then someone outside called out, "Excuse me, is Gu Changgen here? Here is your remittance slip."

Gu Xiaoxi was nearby, so he immediately walked out and said to the postman with a smile, "Gu Changgen is my grandfather. Let me give him the remittance slip for you!"

As soon as she finished her words, she saw her grandfather's legs seemed to have grown fire wheels, and he rushed out at a rapid speed.

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and at the moment when her grandfather snatched the remittance, she leaned towards the postman and took a look.

Old Man Gu took the remittance slip, glared at Gu Xiaoxi, turned around and left.

Gu Xiaoxi lowered his eyes slightly. Two hundred yuan!

There is two hundred dollars on that remittance slip!

The person who sent the money was called Xie Zhu.

She had never heard of this name in her previous two lives.

Who could this person be?

She suddenly felt like she had lived in vain!

Just when she was distracted, Lu Jiansen's warm and pleasant voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Let's go eat!"

Gu Xiaoxi regained her composure, raised her eyes and smiled at him, "Well, let's go eat."

When the wedding banquet started, Old Man Gu seemed a little absent-minded.

Gu Xiaoxi kept picking food for him and was very enthusiastic.
