After the exams were over, all the educated youth had completely free time. Of course, these people did not include the Zhang Jianlin brothers. They had basically not read any books in the past two years. Until the notice came, they studied hard for more than a month. In addition to the exams a few days ago, the two brothers already knew that the possibility of passing this exam was extremely small.
So after the exams, the two brothers started looking for Chen Hao to help them review. Chen Hao was happy to do so, so the three of them read and studied at home every day.
As for Qi Aiguo, it was because Liu Jingjing was studying, so she always took Qi Aiguo to study together. So the couple didn't go out when they had nothing to do. I was the one chatting and reading on the kang.
Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren were studying in the house what to eat. A few days before the exam, Lin Muren and his grandfather sent a lot of delicious food to Lin Muren out of their guilt towards him, so they were studying what to eat and how to eat it these two days.
"Yuqi, you said Wu Lanlan has finished her exams, why hasn't she come back yet?"
"I don't know. I think Wu Lanlan already knows about the Zhang family. We didn't see her during the exam, so I don't know if she signed up that day."
It turned out that Wu Lanlan left Zhengjiatun on the day the Zhang family incident happened and went to the county town to register, then came back. Later, she left the next day after getting a letter of introduction from the team leader, and there has been no news of her since.
"But no matter what, this is none of our business. The Zhang family's actions are truly disgusting. You don't know that when I think of Zhang Lin's nagging look, I feel like vomiting. You know? A grown man making that expression is truly terrifying."
Lin Muren shook his body as he spoke, and seeing Sun Yuqi, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Okay, stop playing tricks and quickly wash these dried vegetables. They'll be needed for the stew later."
Lin Muren then stood up, took the dried vegetables, put them in the basin and started washing them.
The eastern suburbs of Beijing.
Gu Zhengshan was carrying a bundle of firewood as he walked down the nearby hill. Zhuang Xinlan followed behind him, also carrying a bundle of firewood.
"Old man, please walk slower. I can't walk any more. Let's take a break!"
Gu Zhengshan stopped, put the firewood on his shoulder on the ground, turned around, looked at his wife's hunched body, and sighed.
"Okay, take a break. I'm tired too."
As he spoke, he walked forward and took the firewood off Zhuang Xinlan's back and placed it at his feet.
"Alas, I wonder if the second brother received our letter?"
Gu Zhengshan paused before speaking about Zhuang Xinlan's words.
"It should be soon. It's been sent out for half a month, so I think they should have received it by now."
"But that brat Gu Xueyuan is such an ungrateful person. I don't believe he hasn't heard about us. Even after all the hardship we've gone through, he still hasn't shown up to look for us."
After resting for a while, the two men got up again and carried firewood back to a small courtyard. This was the second place they rented. No one knew who leaked the news about the first place, and in the end the family was unwilling to rent the house to their family. They had no choice but to find a house in the suburbs to rent. It was not that they did not want to rent a better house, but because they had little money left.
"Oh, my old waist! If I hadn't lived in the countryside a few years ago, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it now."
Gu Zhengshan ignored Zhuang Xinlan and lowered his head in thought for a while.
"How about we go to your hometown?"
Zhuang Xinlan was stunned when she heard this, then smiled bitterly.
"Old man, you know that my family members are all gone. My eldest brother is gone too. I only have my eldest sister-in-law, and I don't even know if she's still around. I remember that my two nephews are now in their forties and have no feelings for us. I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to take us in. I think we should quickly find the second brother and go to him for help."
Gu Zhengshan smiled bitterly.
"You only think about turning to the second brother, but have you ever thought about how much we've done for the eldest brother over the years? How could the second brother not have any resentment in his heart? And the third brother, do you really think he doesn't hate us? Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately severed ties with us in the newspaper when the incident happened."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Xinlan mocked Gu Zhengshan.
"Alright, for the boss, you can do anything. For the boss, you can sacrifice any of your sons. I advised you at the beginning, but did you listen?"
Gu Zhengshan felt unhappy when he heard his wife say that about him.
"Okay, don't just blame me. Didn't you support this at the beginning? Now you blame me. What were you doing back then?"
The old couple was so busy arguing that they didn't notice a figure hiding in the fence not far away. Until no more talking was heard in the yard, the figure quietly left the fence.
Gu Yulin quickly returned to the small courtyard where he rented a house and saw Gu Yulan sitting there washing clothes. Without saying a word, he pulled Gu Yulan into the house.
Gu Yulan was stunned by Gu Yulin's fucking and asked after entering the house.
"What are you doing? Can't you see I'm washing clothes? Don't you know that you need hot water to wash clothes now? I have to boil water. If you don't wash quickly, the water will be cold again soon."
Gu Yulin didn't care about Gu Yulan's attitude, but whispered to Gu Yulan.
"Sister, I just saw my grandparents in the yard at the entrance of the village. They live there now. Should we go and see them? They must be rich."
Since moving here, Gu Yulan rarely goes out. When she goes out, she only visits neighbors on both sides. She basically does not visit people who live far away.
Now, when she suddenly heard that her grandparents had come to live in the village, she was still a little stunned, and asked after a long while.
"Do you know why they moved here? What made them live here?"
Gu Yulin shook his head.
"How would I know? I saw them when I just came back. I followed them and watched them enter the yard. From their conversation, I also learned that they seemed to want to go to seek refuge with Second Uncle. But I didn't care about these. I thought, since they moved here, they must have some money on them! I thought about stealing it."
Gu Yulan glanced at Gu Yulin.
"Do you know where their money is?"
Gu Yulin smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about this matter! I met a big brother outside these days. He taught me a lot of skills. As long as you give me the opportunity, I will definitely be able to find the money."
Gu Yulin's words made Gu Yulan's heart beat fast. She guessed that the big brother Gu Yulin was talking about was that kind of person. After all, she had followed a boss like this before, right?
