Chapter 281 Can be sold at a good price
On the way home, Gu Tinghuai turned his head to look at Gu Yuehuai, wanting to ask her opinion, but in the end he didn't say a word.
He pursed his lips and whispered, "Nannan, how do you think you will deal with them in the end?"
In all these years in the brigade, this was the first time he encountered corruption among brigade cadres, and these were people he was very familiar with. The feeling was very subtle and hard to put into words, but he still wanted to discuss it with others to ease the complexity in his heart.
"I don't know." Gu Yuehuai was not interested in this. He quickened his pace and prepared to go back to sew two new quilts.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Gu Tinghuai didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, you go back first. I'm going to go to the county and pick up our dad on the way. I'll be home in the evening."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, thought for a moment, then took out two big unity notes and handed them over.
Gu Tinghuai frowned, put his hands behind his back, and looked unhappy: "What are you doing?"
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Brother, you are still polite to me? Dad needs medicine even after he is discharged from the hospital!"
Hearing this, Gu Tinghuai pursed his lips. Indeed, the family had no money left. Even the hospitalization was paid for by the brigade out of friendship. It would not be convenient to ask the brigade to pay for it again in the future.
Gu Yuehuai didn't have time to say more, and directly stuffed the money into his hand: "No more talking, I have to go home, you drive slowly."
After saying that, she walked quickly towards home.
Gu Tinghuai looked at the two big unity notes in his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He folded them and put them in his inner pocket, and went to the county.

When Gu Yuehuai returned home, Yan Shaoli and Yan Shaotang were taking a nap.
She did not disturb the two of them. She went back to the room and started to spread the cotton and sew the bedding. They were all made of fluffy cotton. A quilt weighed three pounds of cotton and felt soft, comfortable and warm. After all, the products of this space must be of high quality.
After an hour of busy work, Yan Shaoli woke up.
She washed her face, rubbed her eyes and said, "Yue Huai, what are you doing?"
Gu Yuehuai said without even raising his head, "Make two new quilts, so they can be used when Shao Yan comes back tomorrow.
Yan Shaoli was slightly surprised and couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuehuai. At a glance, he saw a nearly finished cotton coat placed at the head of the bed. It was dark blue and felt very thick, with a wide belt around the waist. He didn't know what it was.
Before I could finish being surprised, someone asked, "What is this?"
Gu Yuehuai bit off the thread in his hand, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "I made clothes for your elder brother. He will be going to the army soon. He can't bring bedding with him, but he can wear new clothes at least."
Hearing this, Yan Shaoli suddenly felt a little sad.
Compared with Gu Yuehuai, her own sister was obviously unqualified. They were obviously the same age, but everything Gu Yuehuai did was for the good of their family. She really couldn't find any dissatisfaction with such kindness.
At this moment, Yan Shaoli secretly made up her mind that if her sister-in-law was not Gu Yuehuai in the future, she would be the first to disagree.
Thinking of this, she pulled a chair and sat down next to Gu Yuehuai, patting her chest and saying, "If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me."
Gu Yuehuai looked at her suspiciously: "Can you?"
Yan Shaoli's mouth twitched, and he blushed a little, but he felt that he was being insulted, so he pouted and said, "I saw that you were working too hard, and I wanted to help you relieve some of the pressure. You don't know how to do good."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "No, it will be done soon. I will teach you how to make it after I am done with this busy period."
These are urgent tasks at the moment, and Yan Shaoli has never done them before. The more he helps, the more trouble he will make. However, it is always good to learn more things. As for Yan Shaoli, she obviously has no intention of keeping her knowledge secrets. After all, she learned these things from Yan Shaoyu in her previous life.
Yan Shaoli sighed and said with some disappointment: "Okay, then I'll just watch from the side."
This sitting lasted for several hours.
It was almost evening when Gu Tinghuai came back carrying the drunk Gu Zhifeng on his back, followed by Gu Xihuai who was getting something. All three of them looked unhappy. Fortunately, Gu Zhifeng was not a drunk person, but he was eerily quiet.
Yan Shaoli was a man with good sense. Seeing this, he hurried to pour hot water: "Uncle Gu, drink some hot water."
Gu Xihuai glanced at her, and the latter smiled awkwardly. The two of them had not had much contact and were not very familiar with each other, so they felt a little awkward with each other.
"What's wrong? You drank so much?" Gu Yuehuai frowned and poured a basin of hot water to wipe Gu Zhifeng's face.
When Gu Zhifeng heard her voice, his eyelids moved. After a moment of silence, he actually began to wipe away his tears silently, looking very sad. Such emotions were very rare for Gu Zhifeng, who had always been stubborn.
He raised several children, and if he showed any sign of weakness, he would not be able to bring them up. But now he is very sad.
Gu Yuehuai frowned even more tightly, pursed his lips and said, "Lin Jinshu went there today too?"
As Uncle Gu Jia's "ex-wife", Lin Jinshu should not be suitable to go, but with people like Nie Peilan, Gu Tianfeng and Gu Yinfeng as bridges, maybe Gu Ruihuai will go there today as well.
Considering Gu Zhifeng's personality, the only person who could influence him and cause such drastic mood swings was Lin Jinshu, besides her.
Thinking about what Lin Jinshu said when he came home last time, Gu Yuehuai's face darkened.
She said in a cold voice, "Lin Jinshu said he wanted to take me away again?"
Gu Tinghuai glanced at her, then looked at Gu Xihuai who remained silent: "When I went over, our father was already drunk, and he didn't say anything, nor did he cry. I did see her, but the banquet was over by then, so I don't know what she said."
Gu Xihuai glanced at Gu Zhifeng with a look of regret, shook his head and said, "I don't know why Dad still cares about her. She already has two children. She has nothing to do with us anymore. Why can she still be affected like this?"
Then, Gu Xihuai told what happened today.
He had originally thought that since there were many people coming today, he might be bullied, but he did not expect the place to be so harmonious today. Even Nie Peilan, who was always aloof, came over to chat with them.
Including Lin Jinshu, who also came with Gu Ruihuai, who had become much quieter.
However, she was not here to reminisce about the past with Gu Zhifeng. She went straight to the point and proposed that Gu Yuehuai go with her. She said that he was already eighteen years old and should not continue to waste time in the countryside. She could give Gu Yuehuai a bright future and so on.
Gu Xihuai shrugged and sneered, "I thought the sun would rise in the west, but these people have a change of heart and are used to seeing us poor relatives. Haha, I didn't expect that you would be the one they were thinking about in the end. It's really like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken."
As he spoke, Gu Xihuai was also very annoyed.
He glanced at Gu Yuehuai and gritted his teeth. No wonder those people were thinking about their sister. In their eyes, this pretty girl was like a grown-up cabbage, but in the eyes of others, she could be sold for a good price.
It's really Sima Zhao's intention - everyone knows it. His intentions are dirty, but he still wants to put on the name of doing good for Gu Yuehuai.
