Chapter 52 Back Home
Later, the police came and actually found out that Sun Meixiang had stolen money. However, because the amount was not large and Sun's mother clearly stated that she would pay it back, she cried bitterly and admitted her mistake with a good attitude. In the end, Sun Meixiang was detained for 15 days and compensated for the losses.
After Sun Meixiang was taken away, Sun's mother felt ashamed to face Gu Xiyue, so she packed up and left without even asking for her salary. Although Sun's mother paid compensation to save Sun Meixiang, Zhou Nuan could see that she was very dissatisfied with her niece and would probably dislike her in the future.
After the matter was over, the two hurried back to Li Baijie's residence to pick up Qin Yuezhi and others. Qin Yuezhi had already heard the whole story from Liu Miao who came back earlier, and was waiting eagerly.
When Zhou Nuan and the other person appeared, she saw Gu Xiyue and her eyes became wet, "Xiyue, you are finally back."
"Uncle." Su Hang also called out.
Gu Xiyue walked forward, touched his head, then took the soundly sleeping Xiaoxi from Qin Yuezhi's arms, and his eyes became doting.
After a long while, he reluctantly raised his head and said, "Mom, Xiaohang, let's go home."
"Okay, okay." Qin Yuezhi choked up and turned back to Li Baijie and said, "Thank you for taking me in these days. Take this money."
She took out some money from her pocket and was about to stuff it into Li Baijie's hand, but Li Baijie refused to take it and stepped back and waved, "I can't take it. This is nothing. How can I really ask for money..."
She refused to take Qin Yuezhi's hand and they pushed each other, waking up the sleeping Xiaoxi, but her brother was not affected at all.
The little guy was more than four months old, and gradually grew up, with clearer features. His eyes turned and met Gu Xiyue's, and then he stopped moving.
Just when Gu Xiyue held his breath and forced out the most gentle and harmless smile, she suddenly pursed her lips in disgust, frowned in the same way as Gu Xiyue, and howled at Gu Xiyue, but did not shed a single tear.
Zhou Nuan: ...
"Sister Li, take it. We agreed to give it to you according to the rent." She interrupted the push and pull between Qin Yuezhi and the other person, and took Gu Xiaoxi from the reluctant Gu Xiyue. As soon as Gu Xiaoxi smelled the scent of her biological mother, she stopped crying all of a sudden.
Seeing her father Gu Xiyue very helpless, Zhou Nuan said to Liu Miao, who was standing at the door with an uneasy look, "Sister Liu, I may be delayed for a few days. I will come to you after I pack up."
Liu Miao breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhou Nuan really quit, then she and Li Baijie would really be helpless.
"Okay, Xiao Nuan, go do your thing first. Sister Li and I will take care of things here."
When we returned to Fulu Community, it was already dark.
As soon as Qin Yuezhi entered the house, her eyes widened at the color TV refrigerator placed in the living room. The richest family in their village only had a black and white TV, which was extremely precious and was usually protected like an eyeball.
Usually, Granny Lin would angrily scold that family, calling them slaves of capital and profiteers, and she would agree with them. But now it is her family that is profiting?
She was somewhat unable to accept it, "Xi, Xiyue, where did this come from?"
Gu Xiyue didn't say anything.
Zhou Nuan responded, "Of course it wasn't stolen or robbed. Mom, don't you know your son well?"
Qin Yuezhi was conflicted. She was worried because she knew her son too well. "Xiyue, have you done anything speculative? Our Gu family has been honest people since our ancestors. You can't let others make money and get carried away. If it doesn't work out, our family won't have the money to pay for it."
She imagined a pessimistic ending for herself before she even did anything. In Zhou Nuan's opinion, this was simply an excuse Qin Yuezhi made for her cowardice. Then she could comfort herself that it was her fate.
But is fate really like this?
She was about to open her mouth to refute, but Su Hang suddenly spoke up, his little face full of seriousness, "Grandma, it's not right for you to say that."
Forehead?
Qin Yuezhi was shocked.
Su Hang continued, "Things are different now. You can't look at the world today with the same eyes as before. The world has changed. I think what my uncle did was right. Even if he failed, our family was already poor. How much poorer could they get?"
"Besides, if I follow what grandma said and work hard in the countryside, my brothers and sisters might not even have enough to eat."
Hearing this, the room fell silent. Gu Xiyue looked at his little nephew with admiration, while Zhou Nuan was shocked. She knew that he was a genius. Not only was he intelligent, but he was also very mature in his thinking. He was definitely not an eight-year-old child.
Speaking of little Gu, Qin Yuezhi moved her mouth a few times and finally compromised.
"I'm old and don't understand what you young people think. Just do whatever you want." After all, there is still an ancestral home and a few acres of land at home. At worst, I can just go back. As long as I don't starve or get wet, it's fine.
"Which room do I live in?"
Gu Xiyue looked at Zhou Nuan, "You are the hostess, you make the arrangements."
Uh... OK.
The word "hostess" really made her feel better, and Zhou Nuan stood up.
It was too chaotic just now and she couldn't see clearly. It turned out that the house was quite large. Although it was not as big as the big villa she lived in in modern times, it was enough.
There are four rooms in the house. Except for the main room where Gu Xiyue lives, the other rooms are empty. The room on the east side has good lighting, so it was given to Su Hang. The room closer to the main room is not facing the street and is quiet, which is just right for an old person like Qin Yuezhi who has light sleep and wakes up easily.
The smaller room had a bunk bed. Originally, they had planned to find a helper to live in the same room with Grandma Sun, but they didn't expect that Sun Meixiang would take the opportunity to move into another room while Gu Xiyue was away, and there were some things in the room that she hadn't had time to take away.
That room was the one given to Qin Yuezhi, and it was separated from the main house by a wall. Even Qin Yuezhi could not hide Sun Meixiang's intentions.
When Qin Yuezhi saw the women's products in the room, her heart skipped a beat. She rushed over and threw them into the trash can, muttering, "Really? People have left but you still haven't taken all the things away. Leaving them here is annoying."
Zhou Nuan didn't say anything, but glanced at Gu Xiyue with a smile.
What a pity, if he had been more sensible, maybe he could have enjoyed this good fortune.
After settling the two of them, only Zhou Nuan's things were left. Now there was only one room left in the house, which was where Sun's mother lived.
She either had to stay in Sun Ma's room, or she would only be left with the main house. Zhou Nuan was a little hesitant.
At this moment, Su Hang picked up her things and walked towards the main house without saying anything, saying, "Aunt, I'll help you move your things in..."
Zhou Nuan was startled and quickly called out, "Xiao Hang, wait..."
Gu Xiyue's slightly raised smile froze, and his eyes quickly darkened as if he remembered something.
So she still didn't want to be alone with him?
"Waiting for what?"
