After Zhu Wangdi left, the house became quiet again.
Su Man continued to be busy in the village as usual and never asked about Zhu Wangdi again.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year.
Xu Lang returned to the mountain as usual and took pictures of Gu Tianxing.
Zhu Wangdi let Gu Tianxing out of the barn, and Xu Lang handed her a newspaper and asked her to hold it.
"Stand still and take a picture!"
Gu Tianxing's eyes were dull. He held the newspaper obediently and stood facing the window.
The light from outside the window shone in, and the wall behind her, which was covered with newspapers and magazines, was clearly visible.
Xu Lang hissed and frowned.
"Why is this room so fancy? It affects the photography."
He put down his camera and prepared to go forward and tear up the newspaper.
Zhu Wangdi shrank her neck, very dissatisfied.
"Comrade Xu, you don't know how cold it is in the mountains at night."
"The wind is blowing everywhere. I can't live in an airtight brick house, and I'm not allowed to paper the walls?"
This was the only human thing Zhu Jiumei did. It was very cold in the mountains in winter.
The wind was blowing so hard at night that my bones ached from the cold.
She is so picky about taking a photo. Is Xu Lang trying to make things difficult for her?
"You want to take care of this? How about we switch?"
"I'm here to take pictures to send to the capital, and you're here to watch her?"
Xu Lang's face darkened and he stopped.
"Nonsense! I'm a gay man, living here with her. Isn't that going to cause gossip?"
"Are you worried that others won't notice? Okay, ask her to stand still and I'll take a picture."
Zhu Wangdi rolled her eyes and kicked Gu Tianxing impatiently.
"Stand still, you hear me?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Gu Tianxing's eyes, but his face still looked dull.
Soon, Xu Lang took the photos.
Zhu Wangdi locked Gu Tianxing back into the barn and asked impatiently.
"Comrade Xu, have they told us when to start?"
The man who died early was Li Genshen's great uncle.
My husband is dead and there is no one left on my mother's side.
She had started to think about finding another man to live with in the Li family.
But those men disliked her because she couldn't have children and was lazy and gluttonous.
No one wanted to be friends with her, and she was almost starving to death.
It was at this time that Li Genshen came to her house and promised to give her 20,000 yuan.
She was asked to help take care of a crazy woman, and the only requirement was that the identity of the crazy woman must not be discovered.
She later found out that the crazy woman was Li Genshen's second daughter-in-law.
This was a big news in their village at that time. Li Genshen, a country boy, actually married the daughter of a leader.
If this gets out, the whole village will be proud of it.
But later, Li Genshen's first wife died of complications during childbirth, and he never returned to the village.
After the older generation passed away, fewer people knew about this.
No one knows what made the leader's daughter go crazy. Li Genshen said that he would hide this crazy woman until she died.
That means that Zhu Wangdi will be responsible for cleaning it up when the time comes.
After all, Li Genshen now has status and position in the capital, so he must be clean.
By the time Zhu Wangdi knew what he was thinking, it was too late to give up.
Li Genshen said that if she stopped working now, she would not only lose money.
If anything happens later, she will not be able to escape responsibility.
Thinking about the 20,000 yuan, Zhu Wangdi still couldn't bear to part with it.
He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Zhu Wangdi paused and continued to ask.
"And when will you give me the money you promised me?"
Xu Lang was really pissed off by Zhu Wangdi. This woman was always so careless with her words.
She opened her mouth and said she was going to kill someone.
Fortunately, we moved to the mountains.
Otherwise, you will definitely be overheard by others.
His face turned cold and he warned.
"Chinese New Year is coming soon. I will personally deliver the photos to the capital."
"If nothing goes wrong, I'll give you the money when I come back."
"But I'm telling you, if you mess up at this critical moment..."
When Zhu Wangdi heard that there was money to be made, how could she listen to what was said next?
"I know, I know. It will definitely not be a bad thing. You can go without worry!"
After Xu Lang left, Zhu Wangdi lay on the bed and dreamed happily.
With 20,000 yuan, she can do anything.
——————————————
The Chinese New Year is coming soon and the village is busy.
Su Man's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and the weather was cold, so the roads were slippery when she went out.
Zhu Jiumei and Yun Dashu were both afraid that something might happen to her, so they stopped her from going out to treat patients.
If you need medical treatment, just come to his house.
Su Man didn't go out, so she didn't know if anyone had taken any photos on the mountain.
The male comrade who met with Zhu Wangdi came and went very secretly and no one saw him.
I wonder if anyone in the capital has received any news from her?
In the evening, Yun Chengcai came back and talked to Su Man.
"Doctor Su, the road in town has been repaired."
"Chinese New Year is coming soon, and all the drivers have to go home for the New Year."
"Look, when are you sure you want a car? I'll reserve one for you first."
Su Man thought for a moment and made up her mind.
"Then the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, right? Today is the twenty-ninth day of the winter lunar month, so it'll only be a few days away."
If the Gu family could find the clues she left in the next few days and come looking for her.
She doesn't have to struggle on her own if she really can't catch up.
She must take Gu Tianxing away.
Yun Chengcai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell him tomorrow and reserve a car for you first."
"The car will be waiting at the foot of the mountain when the time comes!"
