After saying this, Gu Tingyan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot, then turned and walked into the house, leaving Gu Xueyuan blinking in confusion: What does Dad mean?
After thinking for a while, Gu Xueyuan suddenly realized that his father was afraid that his eldest uncle and third uncle would continue to bother him after they came out. But would this really work? Gu Xueyuan was a little unsure. He had known about his grandfather's favoritism since he was a child. Fortunately, he was a man and didn't want to care about those small gains and losses. And with the temperaments of his eldest uncle and third uncle, Gu Xueyuan really felt a little unfair for his father, but what could he do?
According to Gu Xueyuan's guess, when his uncle comes out, he will definitely come back to ask the old man for help, but now the old man is nothing, so in the end this matter will definitely fall on his father's head. And there is also his third uncle, who hates the old man but will also say sweet words in front of the old man. No matter what, in the end it is estimated that the trouble will fall on his father's head.
Gu Xueyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the house. He didn't know how his father would treat his uncle and third uncle, but should he do something to make the two stay in there for a few more years?
Time flies and it is July. Sun Yuqi's school is on vacation. Sun Yuqi also decides to go to An County to see what to do with the house left to her by her adoptive mother Sun Meijuan. Sun Yuqi will not sell it because the house will appreciate in value in the future. Besides, according to the plot in the novel, the housing prices will be very high in a few decades. By that time, she will decide whether to sell it or not.
Sun Yuqi talked about this with Mu Jingran. Mu Jingran wanted to go but couldn't because of work reasons. Finally, Sun Yuqi called Lin Muren. Lin Muren, who was in the south, immediately agreed to go to An County with Sun Yuqi, but she would start from the south and asked Sun Yuqi to wait for her in Jingshi.
On July 6, Lin Muren returned to Beijing. Now Lin Muren's children are staying with her parents-in-law in Beijing, so she basically comes back once a month to see her children. Besides, July 16 is the day when Lin Muren's child turns one year old, so both Lin Muren and Chen Hao have to come back, but Chen Hao will not be back for a few days.
Because there were only ten days left until Lin Muran's child turned one year old, Sun Yuqi and Lin Muran decided to leave for An County on July 7 and try to return before the 10th. After the two discussed it, they went directly to the train station and took the train to An County.
"Ah, this good sister of mine is pretty good, isn't she? I haven't seen my son for a month, and now I've only seen him for one day. I left my son behind and accompanied you to An County."
Sun Yuqi rolled her eyes at Lin Muran and said, "Well, you are a good sister. You have made a lot of money over the years, and I, as your sister, have also enjoyed a lot of soup. I really have to thank you."
Lin Muren laughed, "Ah, in the blink of an eye we have returned to the city from the Northeast for eight years, and we are both mothers now. Time flies!"
Sun Yuqi glanced at Lin Muran and said, "What's wrong? Why are you feeling sentimental? I remember that you shouldn't be so sentimental!"
Lin Muren rolled his eyes at Sun Yuqi. "What do you know? Our business has been growing bigger and bigger in the south these years, and we've made a lot of money. I listened to you and bought three houses each in Shenzhen. But you know what? Materialism is rampant there, and some people are no longer innocent. Just like our partner, Ruan Shaojin, who was married a few years ago, but now he's raising a mistress in the south."
Sun Yuqi was a little stunned when she suddenly heard Lin Muren mention Ruan Shaojin, but then she remembered who he was. Speaking of Ruan Shaojin, she still remembered that when she was in Northeast China, Ruan Shaojin was still a public security officer. He went to Kaoshantun for work reasons. Because of a case, Chen Hao was involved, and Chen Hao was injured and his life was hanging by a thread.
Sun Yuqi laughed and asked, "Is Ruan Shaojin still as reckless as before?"
Lin Muren sneered, "He's just a piece of rotten mud, a piece of shit that will never get anywhere. He had his family backing him up all those years ago, so he always messed up every case. Later, they probably saw that he was no match for them, so they let him retire and get married. That's not reform. They saw that Chen Hao and I were doing well in the south, so they wanted him to go into business. With the reputation of our family and his family, he's doing well in the south."
"But just a month ago, when I was having dinner with my business partner, I discovered that this guy now has three beautiful women around him, hugging them left and right. He's truly enjoying the best of both worlds!"
Sun Yuqi didn't say anything. To be honest, she and Ruan Shaojin were not very familiar with each other. They only had contact when they were in the Institute of Information Science, but they didn't talk many times and some of them were unpleasant.
Lin Muren naturally knew that Sun Yuqi had no good feelings towards Ruan Shaojin, so he said this.
"I warned Chen Hao that day that if he dared to do anything bad behind my back, I would make him a eunuch."
Sun Yuqi, who was drinking water, suddenly spat out a mouthful of water. She turned around quickly because she was afraid that the water would spray on Lin Muran opposite her, but it sprayed on herself instead. Fortunately, it was summer and the weather was hot, and the train windows were open and there was wind, so she didn't care and flicked her clothes.
"Lin Muran, you've changed. You've become less and less feminine. You really need to be careful that Chen Hao won't want you anymore. You can say anything mean now!"
Lin Muren was still watching Sun Yuqi's joke, and curled his lips when he heard her say that.
"Sister, you've been in Beijing for too long. You should go to Shenzhen and see for yourself. These things are very common in the south. You should also go to Hong Kong and see for yourself. We need to adapt to the times and keep up with the times, okay?"
Sun Yuqi didn't say anything. She also knew something from the novel, but it was just what was said in the book after all. If it was not a real experience, it would be difficult to imagine, let alone have an intuitive feeling.
It takes more than ten hours to get from Jing City to An County. They took the morning train, and it was already past six in the afternoon when they arrived in An County. Because it was summer, the sun had not yet set. Sun Yuqi took Lin Muren directly to the guesthouse where they stayed last time, took out the letter of introduction, and booked a double room, and then settled down.
Sun Yuqi thought that the weather was not as hot as during the day, so she wanted to take Lin Muran for a walk on the street first, and take her to see the house left by her adoptive mother. Lin Muran readily agreed. After they left the guesthouse, they walked along the tree-lined avenue.
"Yuqi, is this where you grew up?"
Sun Yuqi smiled and said, "Well, I lived in Beijing until I was eight years old. After that, I came to live with my adoptive mother. I lived there until 1975 when I went to the Northeast to work in the countryside."
