After the couple finished their meal outside, they slowly returned home on a rickshaw.
Gu Juan, wearing a white shirt and black pants, rode a newly bought bicycle and passed through the same road. His figure could be seen on the streets and alleys of Anshi. He had just arrived in the mainland and was unfamiliar with the place. He had no one to rely on and he did not trust anyone, so he could only use the most stupid method to search.
Although his sister left him when she was young, even though more than ten years have passed, he thought that as long as he saw her, he would recognize her at a glance, hug her in his arms, and tell her, brother will take you home.
Gu Zhinian returned to the sanatorium. There was a quarrel at the front desk. Yun Muye was afraid that someone might accidentally bump into her, so he took her back to the house.
Zhang Pingping was cheated when she was selling jewelry and only got a few hundred yuan. She paid the hospitalization fee and medical expenses with a gloomy face and a very bad attitude. The young nurse did not take her anger and said to her,
"And there's money to pay for the phone call!"
Zhang Pingping was furious.
"It was just a drop, it's not broken! Why should I pay for the phone call?"
The young nurse understood the sarcasm and imitated her tone.
"You said it yourself. It was just a phone call. Do you think I can't afford to pay it back?"
"You..." Zhang Pingping handed over the money and limped out of the sanatorium. "Bah! What a wicked hospital!"
Zhang Pingping returned to the guesthouse again with only a few hundred yuan on her. For her, who has always spent money lavishly, a few hundred yuan would not last her for a few days.
Unable to contact her family and unable to find them, Gu Juan was completely desperate, but she refused to return to Hong Kong City.
Han Li was in a good mood and humming a song as she walked back. She met Zhang Pingping who was wearing a blue cloth jacket and black pants. She no longer had the pride she had before. After she ran out of money, she sold everything she could, but the money she got was still not enough for her expenses. Zhang Pingping called Han Li,
"Hey! Didn't you like my skirt back then? I'll sell it to you at a low price. My skirts are all high-priced brand names. I'll charge you 500 yuan each. I also have beautiful high heels that match the skirts. They're not expensive either. Just give me 600 yuan!"
The proud Han Li felt insulted and started cursing in anger.
"Get lost! Who wants your second-hand stuff? You're asking for 600 yuan for a pair of tattered high heels. I'm crazy! Isn't it disgusting to want your tattered shoes? What if I get athlete's foot?"
"You bitch! Who are you scolding?"
"I'm scolding you! Bitch!"
Han Li refused to take any loss and cursed back. Zhang Pingping was furious. She had never been treated like this before in Hong Kong City. She went forward and grabbed her hair and started fighting with her. Han Li also reached out and grabbed her hair. The two of them pulled each other's hair and refused to give in, staring at each other fiercely.
"Ahhh... let me go!" Tears welled up in Zhang Pingping's eyes due to the pain.
Han Li gritted her teeth and said, "If you let me go, I will!"
"Okay! I'll count to one, two, three, and then we can all go!"
"one two three!"
Not only did the two of them not let go, but they held on even tighter. Zhang Pingping screamed, "Ahhhh... it hurts!"
Han Li gasped in pain and refused to give in. The staff at the guesthouse were afraid something might happen, so they called the police, who took the two of them to the station for mediation.
After scolding them, she asked their families to come and pick them up. Han Li didn't want to call her family, for fear that her father would find out and not only would he not come to pick her up, but he would also mock her. After thinking about it, she only had Gu Zhinian.
There was no other way, so I called the nursing home and asked the nurse to call Gu Zhinian.
"Hello?"
"Zhi Nian, I had a fight with someone and was detained at the police station. Please ask someone to pick me up."
"Ah? Are you okay?" Gu Zhinian asked worriedly.
Han Li touched her hair that was sore from being grabbed and said, "It's okay, I just want to trouble you to come. I don't want my parents to come, they will only scold me!"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there right away!"
Gu Zhinian hung up the phone, returned to the ward, and told Yun Muye that Yun Muye was worried and wanted to go with him.
"No, your belly is so big, I'm worried, I'll go with you."
"No, I can go by myself. Your legs are not very convenient, so you should take good care of your injuries! I will be back soon!"
Gu Zhinian left the sanatorium, stopped a rickshaw, and took it to the police station. When she got there, Han Li was sitting on a long bench waiting for her, her face covered in bruises.
"What happened to you? Why did you get hit on the face like this?"
Han Li stood up and went to greet him, "Zhi Nian! You're here!"
Zhang Pingping, who was sitting opposite, was stunned when she heard the name. It was such a familiar name, she seemed to have heard it somewhere. Zhang Pingping thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember where she had heard it.
Han Li glared at Zhang Pingping. "It's her! Shameless! She wants to sell all her secondhand goods to me, saying they're cheap. She's treating me like a rag collector. I'm spending five or six hundred yuan on a secondhand piece of clothing. I'm crazy! She makes a living selling her own secondhand clothes. Who is she looking down on? I'm so pissed!"
Zhang Pingping sneered:
"You were the one who asked me where I bought my clothes the other day. Didn't you just fancy my clothes? I sold them to you out of kindness, but you weren't happy about it!"
"I'm just asking, when do I want to buy your second-hand clothes?"
Han Li started arguing with her again, and Zhang Pingping was not willing to be outdone. Gu Zhinian held her belly and hid far away. If she happened to meet her, it would be terrible.
"Stop arguing!"
The police also came up and warned, "If you dare to quarrel again, you will be detained!"
The two of them reluctantly put down their anger.
Han Li supported Gu Zhinian, "Zhi Nian, let's go!"
Zhang Pingping frowned and looked at Gu Zhinian. This person looked so familiar and his name was familiar too, but she just couldn't remember who he looked like.
Along the way, Gu Zhinian scolded Han Li, "You really should change your hot temper. A girl got into a fight and ended up in the police station. You're really capable!"
Han Li was not convinced.
"She started it! Of course I have to fight back!"
Gu Zhinian stroked his forehead and sighed.
Summer passed quietly, and autumn came with clear and cool weather. As October came, Gu Zhinian's belly grew bigger and bigger. Yun Muye's injury had almost healed, and in order to take care of Gu Zhinian, he stayed in the sanatorium.
Han Li signed up to study accounting. After class, she went to the sanatorium to chat with Gu Zhinian. Gu Zhinian wrote down an address for her.
"After you finish your accounting studies, apply for an accountant position at this factory. Remember, you're not allowed to find a partner for the next two years. Focus on your studies, okay?"
Han Li took the paper and glanced at the address. "I know. I'm now focused on studying and enriching myself."
Gu Zhinian moved his fingers pretentiously, "Two years later, if someone offers you 2,000 yuan a month and asks you to marry him, you'll marry him!"
"Really!" Han Li's eyes lit up, and she looked like a gold digger.
This time, Han Li had not experienced a failed marriage, nor had she been unable to conceive a child due to a miscarriage. She had a cheerful and positive personality. Such a Han Li hung around in front of Zhou Zhichuan every day, and she didn't believe that he wouldn't be moved.
