Chapter 5: Disguised and took all the money, met Fu Zheng on the road
Bang--
Zhao Chengyan slammed his hand on the table so hard that the chopsticks fell to the ground.
"You're a woman, why should I ask you to borrow money everywhere?"
His eyes were filled with resentment, and a hint of heartache shone deep in his narrow pupils. If he had tried harder and married Yue Rou at that time, she would not have to suffer so much, right?
"Ayan, I really don't know what to do..."
Gu Yuerou was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath, and it sounded like she was about to die.
Zhao Chengyan stood up and walked over to the opposite side, sitting next to Gu Yuerou, and coaxing her softly: "Don't cry, your crying makes me feel...uncomfortable."
Considering that there was a dazzling little kid beside him, he had to change his words to something else.
I originally wanted to say that I felt sorry for him.
No matter how Zhao Chengyan coaxed her, Gu Yuerou kept covering her face and sobbing, looking helpless and pitiful.
Finally, he had no choice but to ask:
"So how much money do you need? I'll see if I can scrape it together for you."
After hearing this, Gu Yuerou took the handkerchief off her face.
At this moment, the pair of eyes, which were not big to begin with, had swollen to the point where only a slit remained.
"How can that be? Ah Yan, you have a wife and children to support, how can I ask you for money?"
After saying that, Gu Yuerou raised her eyes and looked at the man on the side, with unspoken emotions surging in her eyes, as if she was very sad when his wife was mentioned.
This look instantly pleased Zhao Chengyan.
He did save some money, and he was planning to use it with his friends to go to Guangzhou City. If Yue Rou needed the money urgently, he would give it to her first.
He was hesitant at first, but now he felt that Yuerou had him in her heart, so he made up his mind to give the money to Gu Yuerou.
The little boy next to him looked at Zhao Chengyan, and then at his mother who had started crying since dinner. His little eyes rolled around quickly. It turned out that his mother was right. As long as he found this uncle named Zhao and cried a little, he would have money to buy him candy.
From that moment on, the five or six-year-old kid had a conclusion planted in his mind: as long as he cried, he would get candy.
Gu Yuerou will soon suffer the consequences of what she said to her son.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Under Zhao Chengyan's repeated questioning, Gu Yuerou reluctantly said a number.
"Ten thousand."
"Hiss... this bastard, has he ever considered whether your family can come up with that much money? How can a farmer's family even have 10,000 yuan? He's just a beast, dreaming!"
Zhao Chengyan's face was filled with indignation.
Yes, Gu Yuerou told him that her husband forced her to go home and borrow money to buy a house, otherwise he would beat her and her brother.
Since she made up the lies, they were naturally not so rigorous.
Ignoring the fact that rural people simply cannot have that much money.
There was a trace of imperceptible irritation hidden in Gu Yuerou's slightly lowered eyes. Her throat was a little sore from crying, and she didn't know what to say.
She was determined to get the money. There were so many people doing business in the city, and she wanted to do it too. Since her husband wouldn't give her the money, she had to find a way herself.
If she does nothing, her mother-in-law alone will be able to skin her alive.
Gu Yuerou always boasted that she was married to a city woman, but in reality her life was not as she wished. She had sown the bitter fruit of her own making, and she had to endure it even if she had to kneel down. That's why she tried every possible way to make money.
Seeing that Zhao Chengyan remained silent, she had no choice but to resort to provocation.
"Ah Yan, if you don't have it, forget it. I'll go home and let my dad and brother think of a solution. If it doesn't work, I'll just let him beat me up. It's not the first or second time, so this one won't make a difference."
"Mom, who hit you?"
Qian Xudong, who was over five years old, had no idea that her mother was telling lies. Her mother kept emphasizing it, so she naturally took it to heart.
No, if you don’t understand, ask.
A trace of panic flashed across Gu Yuerou's face, and she quickly scolded him, "No one, it was just Mom and Uncle Zhao joking."
"Oh, then hurry up. I want my uncle to take me to the mountains to hunt rabbits."
What the little guy didn't say was that he actually wanted to go and see if the child he pushed into the water was dead.
However, when he looked at the plate of braised pork on the table that he had already eaten up, he instantly forgot about the people he had pushed in the morning and wanted to eat more meat.
Hearing this, Gu Yuerou looked at Zhao Chengyan with an embarrassed expression: "Ah Yan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Alas, I always guide my child. A father is an upright existence, so I never let him know these things. I lost my composure today."
As she spoke, tears fell silently.
"I lost my composure because I saw you. I wouldn't do this in front of others." Gu Yuerou sniffed and showed off her profile, which she thought was her most beautiful.
Looking shy.
Zhao Chengyan's face also turned a little red, and he felt like a kitten was scratching his heart.
Yue Rou is a person with a broad mind. She has suffered so much injustice, but she never lets her child know that his father is a bastard. Who can do such a high level?
Thinking of this, the figure of Gu Wanxing flashed through his mind.
Realizing what he was thinking, he patted his chest and assured him:
"Don't worry, I'll go get you some money. When do you want it?"
Gu Yuerou rolled her eyes in her heart when she heard this. Of course the sooner the better. What an idiot.
"It's up to you, Ah Yan. You must talk to Wan Xing properly. If she doesn't agree, then forget it. Don't make things unpleasant for the two of you."
When Zhao Chengyan heard Gu Wanxing's name, she couldn't describe her feelings. She didn't know that he had so much money.
And she is very independent and never asks him for money.
"Wanxing will understand. She has a salary and doesn't need my money."
"Then let's go. I'm afraid if we wait too long, people will start gossiping."
Having achieved her goal, Gu Yuerou didn't want to stay any longer and stood up to leave.
…
Gu Wanxing, who had just come out of the bank, was now on his way home.
She was walking on a secluded path near the back mountain.
She thought that she would go back before them, so that even if Zhao Chengyan looked for money, he would not be able to find it on her.
Just insist that you don't know, it's up to you, if you have the ability, find it, but if you can't find it, don't say she took it.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the mountain ahead.
There was a sound like something was walking inside, stepping on dry branches.
She was afraid of being met by someone she knew, but her wish came true. A tall figure really walked out on the mountain path.
Gu Wanxing looked closely and seemed unfamiliar with the person, yet also a little familiar.
The man stood straight and looked rather tall, perhaps around 1.80 meters. However, his profile was really good-looking, with sharp edges and corners. From the front, he looked much better than Zhao Chengyan.
Obviously, the man didn't expect to meet someone here, and he was obviously stunned when he saw Gu Wanxing.
This path is only wide enough for one person to walk on. On one side is a mountain wall that is more than one meter high, and on the other side is a field that is more than fifty centimeters deep.
Although it was still a little cold at the end of March, the ground had thawed and there was water. There were paddy fields everywhere.
Therefore, when the man saw Gu Wanxing stop, he turned sideways and took another step back. Behind him was the sloping path coming down the mountain.
Gu Wanxing nodded towards the man as a thank you for giving him way.
Just as she was about to pass the man, he spoke: "Is it you?"
Such a pleasant voice is like the gurgling of a clear spring in a mountain stream in early spring flowing through people's hearts.
Hearing the voice, Gu Wanxing stopped and looked towards the man.
Fu Zheng didn't expect to meet the person he rescued in the morning here. The reason why he recognized her at a glance was because she smelled of lemon.
Lemons are not often seen here, but they are often seen in the south.
A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Wanxing's sparkling almond-shaped eyes.
She didn't say anything, but pointed at herself with a questioning look in her eyes. Is he talking to her?
Fu Zheng felt a little funny. He saved her, but she didn't even recognize him.
"I saved you this morning, and you forgot so quickly."
Gu Wanxing suddenly realized and said why it seemed familiar. It turned out that it was someone who saved her.
She hurriedly pulled the scarf off her head, revealing her beautiful face. She pulled the corner of her mouth apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. You changed your clothes."
Fu Zheng nodded slightly: "Yes, I was wearing a military uniform this morning, and it's already wet. Are you okay? Is the child okay?"
