Mr. Gu also called Gu Weizhou.
Gu Weizhou went to pick him up.
I invited Ruan Yunxi along, so she wouldn't overthink things while alone at home.
During the phone call, Mr. Gu asked, "Your mother said that you caused Le Yao to be sent to a labor camp. What exactly happened?"
Ruan Yunxi didn't expect that the news would reach Beijing so quickly.
That makes sense, since Le Yao has a little follower. If something happens to her, the little follower has to inform her.
Ruan Yunxi wasn't afraid; the punishment imposed by the leaders was beyond her control.
Besides, it's not unjust that Le Yao was sent to a labor camp.
After Gu Weizhou recounted what Le Yao had done, Gu's father paused for a second before asking, "How is Yunxi?"
"I'm so glad she's alright, otherwise I wouldn't have let her leave the family compound alive," Gu Weizhou said threateningly.
Mr. Gu frowned: "In Weizhou, it's only natural for a man to love and protect his wife. However, if she dies, you will have to pay with your life. What will happen to your wife then?"
Gu Weizhou: "......."
When you get angry, you forget the consequences.
Knowing what his father meant, Gu Weizhou admitted his mistake: "I understand, I won't be so impulsive in the future."
"I want to say a few words to Yunxi." Gu's father knew that there was nothing to say to this son. The reason why father and son were not enemies was because he was a man of few words and rarely interfered with his son's decisions. As long as his son did not go astray, he would not say much.
Don't meddle in other people's business, you self-righteous old man!
Gu Weizhou handed the phone to Ruan Yunxi.
Ruan Yunxi called out, "Dad, is it because Grandma is making things difficult for you?"
“If she calls you, you can ignore it. Don’t listen to anything she says. You did nothing wrong. Le Yao brought this on herself and deserves to be sent to a labor camp. Dad supports you,” Mr. Gu stated.
Ruan Yunxi was moved: "Thank you, Dad, for being so understanding."
“Dad knows you’re all good kids. You wouldn’t have done this if you hadn’t been forced into it. She has only herself to blame, so don’t feel guilty,” Gu’s father comforted her.
Ruan Yunxi was comforted: "I know, Dad, don't worry. I was just scared. After all, anyone would be scared to wake up and see the house on fire. Luckily, it was a false alarm."
Once Gu's father was sure she was alright, he was relieved and chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
As for Gu's mother's call, Ruan Yunxi and Gu Weizhou stated: "If it's a call from Beijing looking for us, we will refuse to answer it except for my father. If asked, we will say we are not in the family compound, and if asked again, we will say we are in training."
The operator looked at Ruan Yunxi: "Comrade Ruan, don't you need training? How are you going to make excuses?"
"Just say I went to the city for training." Ruan Yunxi readily agreed. Making an excuse? That's easy!
The operator nodded to indicate that she understood.
The couple hadn't gone far from the phone booth when Gu's mother answered the phone and asked about Gu Weizhou.
They've gone out to sea for training and won't be back for three to five days.
When asked, Ruan Yunxi said she went to the city for training, which lasted about a week.
Unable to find anyone, Gu's mother was so angry she almost slammed the phone down.
The same excuse came from Yue's mother when she called.
Mother Yue wasn't so easily fooled. She knew that Ruan Yunxi and the others simply didn't want to talk to her; they were avoiding her.
When Le's mother thought about her daughter being bullied in Lian City and being sent to a labor camp, the sky seemed to fall.
...
After Ruan Yunxi and her family refused to answer the phone, their lives were incredibly smooth and carefree, and they didn't care about the chaos and turmoil in other people's lives.
Anyway, on the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Sister-in-law Sheng was still safe and sound, and Ruan Yunxi finally felt relieved.
Knowing that Sister-in-law Sheng has survived her ordeal, Little Cherry and Little Potato don't need to worry about being abused by their stepmother.
Jiang Mingyue wants to be Xiao Yingtao's stepmother? Dream on!
That day, Ruan Yunxi and Sister-in-law Sheng took small baskets to pick cherries on a nearby hill.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the cherries were mostly ripe.
The cherries grown in the nearby orchards are only available to locals, except for those that are specially supplied to Beijing or other large organizations.
Cherries spoil easily and are difficult to transport.
In addition, the planting area is limited, so it can only supply a few important units. Others who want to eat it cannot get it.
