"It's okay as long as Grandpa is here. It's okay for you to go to the countryside. You and Guodong and Guoliang can take care of each other. Grandpa is here for you, so you don't have to worry about the family matters."
"My dear, your marriage with Qi Zheng from the Qi family has been cancelled. The Qi family is not a good place for you to be. You will leave with the Youth League Office the day after tomorrow."
Gu Huaian did not answer his granddaughter's question, but he did not expect that his granddaughter was so perceptive. She was worthy of being a child of his Gu family.
He knew that someone wanted to deal with the Gu family, and it would not happen so quickly. However, he knew that his granddaughter was upset after hitting her head, and she criticized the Qi family in the meeting. Given the nature of the Qi family, they would probably take action against the Gu family in advance.
"Why are you leaving the day after tomorrow? Mengmeng has no one in the Fu family who dares to bully her, so why do you have to go to the countryside?"
Fu Chuanshuo couldn't bear to let his granddaughter go to the countryside. They had all experienced hard times. Letting Gu Qingmeng go to the countryside was a very bad idea. Why did the old guy agree to it!
In the car, they had agreed to let Gu Qingmeng go to the Fu family first, and then if anything happened, they would change her surname, and then if something happened to the Gu family, they would publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever the relationship. But after just a short while, the old guy changed his mind.
"Let Mengmeng leave quickly while the Qi family kid is away! Otherwise there will be trouble."
He also wanted to take advantage of Qi Zheng's absence to go to the Qi family and cancel the engagement. Gu Huaishan sighed. Qi Zheng was a notorious and naughty boy in Kyoto, but he was as obedient as a dog in front of his granddaughter.
Gu Qingmeng rubbed her brows tiredly and searched her memory for memories of her fiancé.
The fiancé Qi Zheng is half a year younger than the original owner. He is a well-behaved and obedient younger brother. He always hands over the New Year’s money to the original owner on time every year.
Ha! He's quite sensible despite being young, but it's a pity that he and the original owner weren't meant to be together.
"Good boy, have a good rest. Grandpa will prepare things for you to use in the countryside."
"Mengmeng, grandpa is going to prepare something for you, so go to bed early!"
Gu Qingmeng went downstairs to see the two old people off. They thought she was extremely silent because she guessed something had happened at home, and they never thought that their granddaughter had been replaced by someone else.
The next day, Gu Qingmeng was taken back home by her grandfather's guard, who told her to pack up the things she needed to take to the countryside, and he would come to send them away in the afternoon.
Gu Qingmeng was so happy that she didn't have to rush to the train with her luggage.
Returning to the room in my memory, the first thing I see is the neatly arranged bookcases, tables and chairs, then the curtains with small yellow flowers, and a pot of green plants on the windowsill, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling. A white mosquito net is hung on the wooden bed, and beside the bed are a wooden wardrobe and chest of drawers. On the chest of drawers is a photo of two people, which is a photo of the original owner's parents.
Gu Qingmeng picked up the photo and stroked it gently. The woman in the photo looked exactly like her mother.
Before Gu Qingmeng could be sad for long, there was a knock on the door.
"The door is unlocked."
Gu Qing dreamed that her stepmother Tian Liping walked in timidly. She turned her back guiltily. The original owner had often given this stepmother a cold shoulder, of course, always when no one was around.
This made Tian Liping feel very miserable.
"Meng... Mengmeng, this is the key your dad asked me to give you. He only took twenty-five dollars, not a cent more. I made some bone soup for you to nourish your body. Remember to drink it. I'm going back to the house."
Tian Liping put down the key and quickly left her stepdaughter's room. She was introduced to Gu Jun by the organization. After marriage, she quit her job to take care of the family, but her stepdaughter treated her like an enemy, giving her a cold look and provoking her with words when no one was around.
She knew that her husband and Fu Meimei were truly in love. Although she gave birth to two sons for her husband, she had no status in the family. She just had to do her own thing.
Faced with her stepmother who appeared and disappeared frequently, Gu Qingmeng didn't pay much attention to her as she still had to pack her packages.
Two hours later, Gu Qingmeng looked at the two large packages on the ground and was satisfied.
She then put the books she needed on the bookshelf into the space, then took out the cash box at home and opened it with the key. Seeing that there were more than 5,000 yuan inside, she couldn't help but sigh at the original owner's ability to save money. Not only was she stingy with others, she was also not generous to herself.
Most of Gu Qingmeng's clothes and shoes were gifts from her two aunts. She would never buy clothes if she had clothes of her own! She saved all the fabrics at home.
Just now when she was cleaning, she saw a pile of fabrics in the closet. Now they are all cheap to her. It is said that no matter what the circumstances, we should enjoy life while we can, otherwise the things we save may not be cheap to anyone.
Her big house! And she still has the right to use it for more than 60 years? If she had known earlier, she would have rented a house and wasted her little money.
The key point is that she feels she has been taken advantage of. How could she have been taken advantage of in her life? It makes me angry just thinking about it.
After having a bowl of bone soup noodles at noon, Gu Qingmeng returned to her room and divided the money into two parts, one she took away and the other left for Gu Jun.
It looks like she needs to make some money, she can't stand the pain of being without money!
But not now. It would be better for her to behave herself in the imperial city. In the afternoon, Gu Qingmeng went out and brought back some fine grains and meat. One reason was that she was greedy, and the other was that she also wanted to improve the food for her father and grandfather.
Doesn’t Gu Qingmeng know that a few thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in this era?
After going out, Gu Qingmeng didn't dare to bring back too many things. He only brought back five kilograms of flour, five kilograms of rice, and two kilograms of meat. Even this scared Tian Liping.
"Mengmeng, you went to the black market. You're such a brave kid. Next time, tell me what you want to eat. I'll buy it at the black market. You can't go to that kind of place... Meng... Mengmeng, why didn't I tell you? I was afraid you'd get caught."
Tian Liping took back what she was about to say. How could she forget that what Gu Qingmeng hated most was being controlled by her?
"I didn't go to the black market. I asked a friend to keep it for me."
Gu Qingmeng made up an excuse to get away with it. She said that food and grain were in limited supply now, so she couldn't take too much out. She would send some food and meat back after she went to the countryside.
