Sun Yuqi asked the three elderly people to sit down and chat, and watch the children at the same time. She rode her bicycle to the market to buy some vegetables and meat. The grandparents had not come here to eat for a while. Since they were here today, it was natural to let them have a meal at home.
It was not until the evening when the weather had cooled down after Mu Jingran got off work that he sent the two old people away. The two old people came here today, one to see Sun Yuqi and her mother, and the other to tell Sun Yuqi that Qin Xiuzhi was pregnant.
Sun Yuqi was not surprised when she heard that Qin Xiuzhi was pregnant. It had been half a year since Mu Chenlan and Qin Xiuzhi got married last winter, so it was not surprising to hear the good news now.
In the Northwest, on the Gobi Desert.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and a group of people in uniform were working in the fields.
The large cotton field here belongs to the labor camp farm. It is now early July, the time for topping the cotton every year. The scorching sun unique to the northwest makes a group of prisoners wearing labor camp uniforms miserable. Everyone is sweating profusely and keeps wiping the sweat with the towels hanging around their necks.
Gu Tingkai wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, raised his head to look at the bright sun in the sky, licked his cracked lips with his tongue, turned his head to look at the many prisoners around him, and seeing that they were all the same as himself, he sighed in his heart, then lowered his head and started to work.
He didn't know how much longer he could hold on. Only a few years had passed, and it was still a long time before he could be released from prison. It would be a lie to say he had no regrets these past few years, but so what? He still had to take the punishment he deserved. He had done something wrong, and he could only come here to atone for his sins.
Having been here for several years, he had wondered why he had lived in such a muddle for the past forty years. Now he had figured it out. The main culprit for his being able to reach this point was his cruel parents. In order to fill the hole for his eldest brother, they schemed against him and Shen Qingrou from the Shen family, and finally made him marry Shen Qingrou. Of course, their purpose in doing so was to use the Shen family's money to fill the hole for his eldest brother.
Have they ever thought about their own happiness? At that time, he had a girl he loved very much, but in the end, he betrayed that girl and married Shen Qingrou. Finally, he gave up on himself and met that bitch Liang Qingshu.
Later, the Shen family suffered a disaster, and he was forced by his father and mother to divorce Shen Qingrou. However, this was also in line with his wishes, so he divorced Shen Qingrou. However, his first love had already left Beijing at that time, and he was forced to marry Shen Qingrou by Liang Qingshu because of her pregnancy.
But who could have thought that he had lived like a bastard all these years, and that Liang Qingshu was such a shameless person that she asked him to help raise two bastards who were not of her own blood. But when he found out, it was too late. He was already in prison and could not kill those two bastards.
Gu Tingkai wiped the sweat from his face again and was about to report to drink some water when he heard the soldiers on duty nearby shouting.
"If you want to drink water, come here, line up, come one by one, no crowding allowed."
Hearing this voice, not only Gu Tingkai was happy, but many prisoners also walked over with joy on their faces to line up for drinking water. Gu Tingkai was no exception. He walked over quickly and lined up.
Gu Tingkai was so focused on drinking water that he didn't notice that several young men in military uniforms were standing not far away and talking to several soldiers in the prison.
"Xueyuan, you see! Your Third Uncle's performance in recent years has been quite good. As for commuting his sentence, it will probably be difficult. You know why he was imprisoned in the first place, and those two bosses have explained it, so our discussion on commuting his sentence..."
Gu Xueyuan understood the meaning of this person's words. He came here today just to see him at his grandfather's request and he would not meet him. Gu Xueyuan knew something about why his third uncle was arrested and why he was sent to the Northwest, so he was not going to intervene. After all, if he made a mistake, he would always be punished.
At the end of July, Sun Yuqi decided to go to Zhonghai City. The reason was that she received a letter from Liao Xuemei. It turned out that when she left Zhonghai, she gave the two houses she bought to Liao Xuemei to take care of. This time, Liao Xuemei wrote to say that a family had just returned to Zhonghai City and wanted to buy a house to live in Zhonghai City. However, they couldn’t buy one after looking around. But in the end, they fell in love with the small second-floor house, which was the house that Liao Xuemei’s great-grandfather used to live in. They asked Liao Xuemei to help ask if it was for sale. If it was, they would pay more to buy it. If it was not for sale, could it be rented to them?
Liao Xuemei wrote the letter to ask Sun Yuqi if she wanted to sell or rent the child. Sun Yuqi looked at the letter with some surprise. After thinking about it, she decided to go to Zhonghai City in person. Having made the decision, she did not delay. After handing the child over to Grandpa Chen and Ye Mei, she said hello to Mu Jingran and went directly to the street to get a letter of introduction, buy a ticket and go to Zhonghai City.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Sun Yuqi arrived in Zhonghai City. Although the weather was not as hot, it was not cool either. Sun Yuqi did not stay in the guesthouse where she stayed the last time she came to Zhonghai City, but chose another guesthouse.
Sun Yuqi always keeps things simple when she goes out. Besides, she was going out alone this time and had put all her things in her space, so she came to the guesthouse lightly and checked into a room. Early the next morning, Sun Yuqi walked to the small second floor that she had bought here, which was also the house of Liao Xuemei's great-grandfather. She took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
This house had not been occupied for a long time, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated in the house. Sun Yuqi was actually just wondering why that family had to move in. If they wanted to buy it, or couldn't, they would rent it. This was a bit strange. You know, in Zhonghai City today, if you want to buy a house, it is still very easy. After all, there are many good houses in the whole Zhonghai City, such as the houses and small Western-style buildings in the concession area back then. Those are all good houses, and they are much more expensive than her house!
So Sun Yuqi suspected that those people knew what was in the house and were willing to spend more money to move in, because only by buying it or being allowed to move in would they have the opportunity to access or get something.
