Chapter 194 Remittance
March 23rd, noon, Shanghai Hospital.
Gu Haihua wore a white shirt, black suit pants, and cloth shoes. When he left the hospital, doctors, nurses, and patients who knew him would call out, "Director Gu."
Gu Haihua particularly likes being respected and being the center of attention, and he nods gently in response to people's greetings.
When meeting a patient he knows, he will stop and ask a few questions out of concern.
This will not only allow more people to see that he cares about patients, but also let everyone know that he is still polite even though he is in a high position.
He felt that the reason he was not elected vice president before was because he did not like socializing with these people and his public opinion was not good enough.
But it doesn’t matter, he feels that he is still young and will have opportunities for advancement in a few years.
He has now started working towards his goal.
When Gu Haihua walked to the guard room, he was stopped by the guard: "Director Gu, there is a letter for you."
The old man was a little hard of hearing, and was afraid that others couldn't hear what he said, so he said loudly: "It was sent to you by someone called Gu Ci. That must be your eldest son who went to the countryside, right?"
A doctor who came out with him heard this and asked, "Director Gu, has your son gone to the countryside?"
She looked at him with admiration: "You are so conscious and selfless."
Ordinary doctors can’t do anything about it, but Director Gu has been working in the hospital for more than 20 years. He has excellent medical skills and knows many people. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to find a temporary job for his son, right?
After all, it’s Director Gu.
Even though Gu Haihua was annoyed by the guard's talkativeness, after taking the letter, he stuffed it into his trouser pocket, thanked him gently on his face, and said a few polite words to the doctor who praised him before going home.
When he got home, Liu Jialing had already put the food on the table and was collecting clothes. When she saw him coming back, she greeted him, "Old Gu, you're back. Come eat first."
Even if she didn't say it, Gu Haihua wouldn't wait for her to eat together.
But today he was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he took out the letter first, tore it open and looked at it, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Finally, he shouted at her with a dark face: "Liu Jialing, what's wrong with you? Didn't I ask you to remit the money to Gu Ci at the beginning of the month?"
"Why haven't you sent the money yet?"
Liu Jialing paused while collecting the clothes, suppressed her panic, and came over to apologize softly, "I'm so sorry. At the beginning of the month, our Xiaoxue fell ill, and I was worried about the child, so I forgot about it."
"Don't be angry. I'll wire him twenty dollars this afternoon."
In fact, Liu Jialing felt very aggrieved.
Gu Ci used to be a very proud person. Even though he knew that he was secretly isolating him, he just left the Gu family with a cold face and went back to the Chu family.
Not to mention writing a letter to ask for money, even if you give him money, he will throw it aside.
But now, he actually wrote a letter asking for money.
It's like a completely different person.
From this we can see that life in the countryside is indeed not easy and people have been overwhelmed by life.
But she originally thought that Gu Ci would not be so shameless as to write a letter asking for money, but would just sulk and not contact them, so that she could keep the twenty yuan.
At this moment, she felt very sorry that she could not keep the twenty dollars.
Gu Haihua put the letter in front of her and sneered: "That little bastard asked for thirty yuan, you send him thirty yuan."
"And send him some food, too."
Liu Jialing immediately picked up the letter and couldn't help but gasp.
This Gu Ci is really becoming more and more shameless. He actually asked for food, towels, gloves, and various tickets.
She immediately started to feel sorry for herself: "We already sent him a lot last time, and we still have two children at home. If we send him so much again, our children will have nothing to eat."
Gu Haihua didn't want to hear her say that her family had no money, so he said unhappily, "Who told you not to send him the money earlier?"
He took out another ten yuan from his trouser pocket and said, "I will remit him thirty yuan every month, and I will also give him some tickets and food to send to him."
I was really afraid that Gu Ci wouldn’t be able to survive in the countryside and would really run back.
Then he would be the one who loses face.
Moreover, once people come back, they have to go back within the specified date. If they don’t, they will be forcibly sent back home.
After Liu Jialing finished reading the letter, she sat there and sighed, "This amount of money is enough to support their entire family."
"Those country folk only see immediate benefits. I'm afraid that if we give them whatever they want, it will whet their appetite."
She really regretted it.
I used to think that Gu Ci would never come back after getting married in the countryside.
But he didn't expect that his Yue family were shameless and only wanted money.
It just so happened that he was the branch secretary, who was able to use his power for personal gain and issue them letters of introduction.
If she didn't pay, they would all come. Just thinking about that scene made her feel suffocated.
Gu Haihua also regretted: "I shouldn't have let him go to the countryside earlier. Now he has been led astray by those mercenary villains."
The son in my memory regarded money as dirt.
Now when I write back, they always ask for money and things.
But he wanted to save face and didn't want others to know that his eldest son got married in the countryside.
I am even more unwilling to become relatives with a peasant.
He said with a sullen face, "Now that the matter has been settled, there is no medicine to regret it. Just think of it as spending money to avoid disaster."
However, he planned to write back to Gu Ci, advising him to take good care of the money he sent and not let it be controlled by the Yue family.
Not only did he write to ask for money and tickets, but he also asked for cigarettes and alcohol on behalf of his father-in-law. This is really unfilial.
How come he forgot to respect his biological father and only cares about his father-in-law? It really made him furious and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
The letter takes time to go back and forth.
By the time Chu Hong and the others received the letter, it was already the first day of April.
The spring ploughing in the village has been completed. All kinds of beans and vegetables are sprouting in the fields, and the seedlings have also been planted.
Spring ploughing and autumn harvest are both very hard work now. Even Chu Hong, who doesn't know how to plant rice seedlings, was assigned to pull the seedlings.
When she finished her work, she was so exhausted that she collapsed, complaining that she had become thin and needed to eat some meat to replenish her body.
That's why Gu Ci rode his bike to the city early in the morning, bought some pork offal, and took the remittance and package back home.
It was sunny in April, with temperatures over 20 degrees, so wearing a shirt was enough for lunch.
Chu Hong had just finished her breakfast, washed the dishes, swept the floor, and fed the rabbits with Xiao Yuer, when she saw Gu Ci coming back with a lot of bags.
She was surprised: "You came back so soon?"
Gu Ci was very happy to receive the remittance and handed the money to her first: "Here is thirty yuan, keep it."
Chu Hong handed him two five-yuan bills and said, "Keep them as pocket money."
She first glanced at the two large bones and two pig's trotters he bought, and then she was very happy: "Luckily you went early, you were able to buy pig's trotters, that's great."
