That was left to her by Grandma Gu; even Gu Aiguo didn't know about it.
This is also why Chen Shuling, despite learning about the things left behind by the old lady from Gu Aiguo, was unable to find them.
Chen Shujing lived such a happy life in the Gu family for six years. During those years, she never mentioned her original family in front of them.
The elderly couple from the Gu family also passed away one after the other in the past two years.
Chen Shujing's happy days continued on Gu Huanian's birthday. She planned to go out and buy some good food to celebrate with her family.
Then, someone stopped her on the road; "Sister?"
The man asked uncertainly, because Chen Shuqing had changed drastically at this moment.
Neither her appearance nor her demeanor is like before.
If it weren't for that face that hadn't changed much, Chen Shuling wouldn't have recognized her at first glance.
Upon hearing the word "sister," Chen Shujing finally took a closer look at the person who had stopped her.
She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and her face was bruised.
Seeing Chen Shuling like this, you don't need to ask her to know what probably happened.
"Lingling, what are you doing here?"
"Sister, I can't go on living, please help me!" Chen Shuling felt like she had seen a savior when she saw Chen Shujing.
Chen Shujing had thought about finding her sister over the years, but she didn't have the courage to step into that home again, fearing that she would be entangled by her parents and brother.
In the dead of night, she would always dream of Chen Shuling.
Seeing her in such a disheveled state, she felt genuinely sorry for her.
"With all these injuries, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out first."
"No need, my injury is nothing serious. Sister, could you find me a place to stay?"
Without saying a word, Chen Shujing took her to the hospital, only to find out how serious her injuries were.
There is a fracture in my spine, and my calves are also severely swollen.
It turns out that since Chen Shujing ran away, Chen Lao Er has been unable to find his eldest daughter.
But they didn't want to return the betrothal gifts, so they let Chen Shuling marry into the family.
That man was a terrible person; he would either beat or verbally abuse Chen Shuling.
Chen Shuling's life only got a little better after that man accidentally fell into the well in the yard while drunk and drowned.
But her good fortune didn't last long. After the man died, her parents set their sights on her again.
Because she had no children, she could marry the town's butcher as his second wife.
Chen Shuling was fooled once, so of course she wouldn't fall for it a second time.
She wanted to escape, so she first obtained a letter of introduction from the village on the man's side.
She knew that the brigade leader on her mother's side wouldn't give her a job. The brigade leader also had the surname Chen and was related to her parents, so his heart was with their side.
Chen Shuling learned in advance from someone else that she was going to be sold, and she voluntarily returned to her parents' home.
She took the initiative to suggest that her mother find him another partner, which made her parents lower their guard.
However, during the two days she was at home, she was beaten quite a bit by her good younger brother.
This is why Chen Shujing saw the injuries on her body.
That younger brother was absolutely spoiled by his parents.
All the good food in the house ended up in his stomach, making him grow into a big fat man. He was incredibly strong and didn't hesitate to hit people.
He had absolutely no respect for her, his older sister, and would beat her up if she did anything that displeased him.
At home, Chen Shuling did whatever they said, so her parents didn't take her seriously. One day, when no one was home, she robbed the family of all their money.
He followed the same path as Chen Shujing.
Actually, two days before her husband died, he mentioned that one of his brothers had gone to Beijing and seemed to have met someone who looked exactly like him.
She guessed that her older sister was the only one dressed differently from her.
I imagine her dear older sister must be doing very well now that she's away from this family.
So Chen Shuling used the stolen money to take a train directly to Beijing.
Sure enough, she was lucky. On her second day in Beijing, she actually saw Chen Shuqing.
The doctor told Chen Shuling to stay in the hospital for a few days until her injuries healed before being discharged.
"Shuling, listen to the doctor. I'll get you some food from the state-run restaurant. You can rest here."
Chen Shuling nodded, watching Chen Shujing walk out, she seemed to be deep in thought.
Chen Shuling stayed in the hospital for a week before Chen Shujing discharged her.
Her injuries have almost healed, but the doctor said her heart isn't doing well right now, so she needs to be careful and come to the hospital immediately if anything happens.
She looked at her sister's gaunt face, realizing how much she had owed her.
She would definitely make it up to her later; "Let's go! From now on, you can stay at your sister's house."
Chen Shuling shook her head and refused; "Sister, I won't go. I can't disturb your life with your husband. If he finds out about our family situation and it affects your life as a couple, then that would be my fault."
Chen Shujing laughed and said, "Your brother-in-law isn't that kind of person. Come on! Come back with me."
Chen Shuling was blinded by that laughter. Why could she live such a happy life?
Once his letter of introduction expires, he will face the risk of being taken back to his hometown.
"Sis, I really don't want to go. Just find me a place to stay anywhere. I don't like staying at other people's houses."
Chen Shujing had no choice but to take her to a courtyard.
The courtyard was a bit run-down, but it was enough for Chen Shuling to live in alone.
"You can stay here for now. Here's fifty yuan and some tickets. Keep them to buy whatever you want."
Chen Shuling took out two bills and returned the rest to Chen Shujing, saying, "Sister, this is all I need. You've had a hard time too."
At the time, Chen Shuqing thought that Chen Shuling had grown up and become sensible.
Little did they know that this was just one of her tricks.
Chen Shujing stuffed all the money into her hand; "Having money in your hand will put your mind at ease. Take it and be obedient. I'll come back tomorrow to take you to buy some things you need."
Chen Shujing was thinking that since Chen Shuling didn't want to go to her house, she would ask Gu Aiguo to think of a solution.
Transfer her sister's household registration here so that the sisters can look after each other in the future.
What she didn't know was that before she could even tell Gu Aiguo about this...
When Chen Shuling went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, she unexpectedly ran into Gu Aiguo.
He returned from his mission intending to buy something for his wife. However, he mistook Chen Shuling for Chen Shujing.
Seeing how shabby she was dressed, he smiled and said, "Why are you dressed like this today? Did you go to the old house?"
He remembered that Chen Shujing would go to the old house to clean every month.
As if possessed, Chen Shuling nodded.
Do you think those two outfits look good?
Chen Shuling looked in the direction he was pointing and saw two long coats, one blue and one bright red, colors that you couldn't even see in the town.
She nodded; "It's quite pretty." After saying that, she lowered her head in self-consciousness.
Gu Aiguo felt that his wife was acting strangely today; she hadn't been this shy and self-conscious in a long time.
