Chapter 294 He Wants to Date Me
Gu Tinghuai didn't answer. He glanced at Yan Shaoyu who came out and said hesitantly, "Go by yourself."
The family situation is not good, and now we rely on Nannan for living. I wonder if Shaoyu will have any objection to this.
Gu Yuehuai stuffed the money into Gu Tinghuai's hand and shook his head, "Brother, let Shaoyu go with you. I still have to pack up at home and don't have time to go out and hang out. You guys go early and come back early. Shaoyu needs to rest early today."
Gu Tinghuai was still hesitant and wanted Gu Yuehuai to take the money himself to buy the piglets.
Yan Shaoyu raised his eyes to look at him, as if he saw Gu Tinghuai's embarrassment, and walked forward, took his arm and walked out the door.
They went out, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Xihuai went to the market, Shao Yang was reading in the inner room, Yan Shaoli was taking a nap with Yan Shaotang, and the house became quiet for a while.
Gu Yuehuai exhaled a breath of foul air and continued to pack her things. However, she hadn't been packing for long when she heard a knock on the door, accompanied by a woman's gentle voice: "Excuse me, is Comrade Gu Yuehuai home?"
Gu Yuehuai heard this familiar voice and raised his eyes slightly: "Come in, the door is not closed."
Bai Mei walked in cautiously along the threshold. When Gu Yuehuai came out, he saw her standing stiffly at the door, with her hands folded on her belly, holding a bag of fragrant egg cakes in her hands.
As soon as she saw her, Bai Mei smiled: "Yue Huai!"
Gu Yuehuai chuckled and called her in: "Bai Mei, how come you have time to come here today?"
Bai Mei raised the corners of her lips and tucked the scattered hair behind her ears. Perhaps because of her simple and elegant appearance, her every move was pleasant and comfortable. She had just the right amount of familiarity on her face and blinked her eyes and said, "Isn't the brigade a big market? I took half a day off today and came here. I want to go shopping with you. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Gu Yuehuai poured a cup of hot water and handed her the enamel teacup: "No, here, drink some water."
Bai Mei didn't bother to be polite with her. She sat down on the kang, sipping hot water to dispel some of the coolness.
She was not wearing a nurse's uniform today. She was only wearing a gray patched jacket. Her shoulder-length hair was tied into two thick braids. Her clean appearance was very different from the girls in the countryside whose skin was sunburned.
As if she noticed Gu Yuehuai was looking at her, Bai Mei smiled and handed the brown paper bag in her hand to Gu Yuehuai: "Here, you didn't eat the wheat biscuits last time, so I bought egg cakes this time, you can't refuse it again."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, took the egg cake and put it aside.
The two chatted for a while, and Gu Yuehuai found that Bai Mei always seemed to be hesitant to talk, but she was not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business, so she didn't ask too much. If she wanted to say something, she would say it naturally.
Bai Mei was obviously not someone who could hold back her words. After hesitating for a long time, she said with some embarrassment: "Yue Huai, can you tell me who Huang Sheng was in the hospital last time?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai paused and glanced at Bai Mei obscurely: "Why are you asking this?"
Bai Mei smiled bitterly and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Huang Sheng has been pestering me these past few days and even followed me home. I know he is not a good person, but my parents don't know."
Having said this, Bai Mei's face looked somewhat embarrassed, and her tone became even lower.
She pursed her lips and continued, "They wanted me to date Huang Sheng, but I didn't want to. But I don't have much say at home. I saw that you seemed to know him, so I took the opportunity today to come over and ask you about him."
Gu Yuehuai suppressed the smile on his lips and said in a calm tone, "Dating? Do your parents agree?"
She didn't expect that Huang Sheng's rape in her previous life would turn into pursuit because of her and Yan Shaoyu's intervention.
However, no one knew better than her the arrogance in Huang Sheng's bones as a person from the capital. He always looked down on them, the "country people", and even looked down on them. How could he be in love with Bai Mei?
She then asked, "Do your parents understand him? Do they know who he is? Do they agree to your relationship?"
Bai Mei trembled her lips, and looked at Gu Yuehuai with a look of embarrassment. After a long silence, she whispered, "I'm not my parents' biological child. I was just picked up by them."
This short sentence seemed to reveal the deepest pain in Bai Mei's heart.
Gu Yuehuai frowned, his tone calm but with a hint of sharpness: "So what? Just because they raised you, they can decide your fate at will? Are you going to follow their ideas and hand yourself over to a scum?"
Her words sounded like a thunderclap in Bai Mei's ears.
She looked at Gu Yuehuai in shock, her eyes trembling. She didn't know whether it was because she said what she thought but didn't dare to say, or because she felt that what she said was too outrageous, so she didn't say anything for a while.
"For someone like Huang Sheng, how sincere do you think he is to you?"
"Since you've come to ask me, I'll tell you the truth. He's from Beijing. Although he came here to work in the countryside, he will go back sooner or later and won't settle down here. Do you think he'll take you back with him when the time comes?"
"He is a narrow-minded person who looks down on country people. He said those things to your parents, but he just treated you like a fish."
"Let me make it clearer. Your parents are greedy for money. Huang Sheng only needs to throw out some bait and express his interest in you appropriately, and you will have to take the bait. Do you understand?"
"If you want to live well, stay away from him and always be vigilant."
Gu Yuehuai's voice was as clear as water, with a hint of warning.
Bai Mei bit her lip and said sadly: "If my parents agree, I have no choice."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head, feeling sorry for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit.
"Filial piety does not mean being obedient in everything. I hope you can understand this. You have been working to earn money to support your family over the years, which is already a reward in itself. There is no need to sacrifice the rest of your life for it."
"Some things are like drinking water, and only you know whether it is hot or cold. I can't explain it clearly, but you just need to understand it yourself."
Gu Yuehuai asked himself whether he and Bai Mei were close friends. What he had said so far was already outrageous enough. If he said more, it would inevitably cause her to rebel and think that she was deliberately discrediting her adoptive parents.
Bai Mei thought seriously for a while, and then said after a long time: "Thank you, Yue Huai."
Gu Yuehuai nodded without comment: "Don't be so polite. By the way, are you still going to the market? I'm afraid I can't go with you. My boyfriend is going away tomorrow, and I have to pack his luggage, so I won't go with you."
Bai Mei was slightly surprised, then seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "The target? Is it the gay man from last time?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded generously: "Yes."
She smiled, a little envious, then sighed and said, "I won't go shopping anymore. I came here to see you today. Thank you for your help, Yue Huai. I'll come to see you next time."
Gu Yuehuai looked at her slightly lonely face, thinking of the mess at her home, and said thoughtfully: "There's no need to leave. It's still early. Stay for dinner. I have something to ask you."
Bai Mei seemed stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Can, can I?"
