Uncle Jiang was stunned for a few seconds, his solemn expression revealing a bit of shrewdness, "One of you is called Gao Kelian, the other is called Du Qiaoju, one is an educated youth sent to the countryside from Xiangyang Village, and the other is a regular employee of the commune post office? Are you Gu Wanwan's cousin? How many times have you received Comrade Gu Wanwan's parcels?"
Du Qiaoju didn't think much about it. She just wanted to find a way to collect Gu Wanwan's royalties. "Yes, we are all relatives. It's only right for us to help each other. We are good sisters. Since she left Xiangyang Village, all her packages have been collected by us. I know you must be confused, manager. If you don't believe me, you can go to the post office and ask my colleagues. They can all testify. I am a formal employee. Would I risk being fired to cheat you of that little bit of royalties? I am not without a salary, so why should I worry about Wanwan's money?"
In order to gain the trust of the state-owned bookstore, Du Qiaoju told Uncle Jiang every detail of the package she received. She was absolutely confident that she was not afraid of Uncle Jiang's investigation.
Gao Kelian felt something was strange and thought Uncle Jiang was trying to trick her. But then she thought she was being too suspicious. Uncle Jiang had no idea that they were trying to take the royalties. He was probably worried that the royalties would be misappropriated, so he asked more clearly, fearing that he would be suspended and have to pay compensation for his mistake.
But so what? They just want money and don’t care about other people’s life or death.
"Comrade Wanwan mentioned to me before that she has no relatives in Xiangyang Village, but she has a lot of enemies. One of them is a family with the surname Du, the same surname as you. They abducted and sold her twin brother and sister, causing the sisters to be separated. Now the Du family human traffickers have been arrested and are in jail. By the way, there was also a human trafficker with the surname Gao, and he was shot." Uncle Jiang seemed to be mentioning it casually, but he looked at the cousins with a slightly contemptuous look.
"That's weird. Why haven't I heard that Comrade Wanwan has a cousin? There's only a pair of four or five-year-old cousins named Shen. Who are you?"
Gao Kelian and Du Qiaoju were unexpectedly hit in the sore spot.
Their faces were blue and white, and suddenly twisted into a hideous look, but in order to get the generous royalties, they gritted their teeth and forced themselves to smile.
"Cousins are still relatives. Is there a problem? Can you give us the money? We are in a hurry!" Du Qiaoju urged impatiently.
"Please wait a moment. I need to check the records and manuscripts." After saying that, Uncle Jiang temporarily left the counter.
There was not a single employee in the huge state-owned bookstore, and it was so quiet that even the ticking of the clock could be heard.
Du Qiaoju looked around and complained, "It's strange that the bookstore doesn't have as much business as our post office. Manager Jiang is so slow. I'll report him after I get the royalties and have him fired and pay compensation. It's just a royalties, but he's asking me all sorts of questions, just like interrogating a criminal."
Gao Kelian agreed with Du Qiaoju's idea. Seeing that no one was around, he conspired with Du Qiaoju unscrupulously, "We can only do this one job. Gu Wanwan has been out for so long, it's time for her to come back. She can't collect the royalties, but we can continue to remit the packages. Gu Wanwan's elders are very rich. You can talk to your colleagues. As long as you collect all the packages for Gu Wanwan, Gu Wanwan hasn't found out anyway, so we can continue to take advantage of her."
Du Qiaoju nodded, "Do you need to remind me? I am not trusting you to do things. I will make sure that Gu Wanwan will not receive any packages in Xiangyang Village. Not only that, whenever Gu Wanwan wants to send out a package or money, I will secretly withhold it. Then we will split it equally. There is no need to give it to my brother and sister-in-law. Gu Wanwan will never dream that I, Du Qiaoju, and you, Gao Kelian, will team up to plot against her."
"She brought this upon herself. She has to pay for all the sins and debts she has committed. When we get the royalties, we'll use Gu Wanwan's siblings' money to splurge and buy some new styles of blouses. By the way, Gu Yarou came to me again this morning and said that she's found a connection and my parents will be released in a few days."
"Poor cousin, I know you and Gu Yarou don't get along, but the enemy of our enemy is our friend. We should join forces to deal with Gu Wanwan and eradicate this scourge of her to avenge my parents and yours. Besides, Gu Yarou is very popular in the commune, and even the villagers of other team leaders support her."
"She has a good relationship with Qingshan Brigade and mediated the feud between Xiangyang Village and Qingshan Brigade. Now the two villages have restored normal exchanges. If Gu Wanwan and Gu Yarou start to quarrel, the villagers will definitely support Gu Yarou."
Gao Kelian curled her lips in disdain, "Using Gu Wanwan's things to do favors, Gu Yarou is really good at winning people's hearts. She obviously didn't give anything, but those stupid villagers were happy to flatter her. She used Gu Wanwan and Zheng Shican's bicycles for public use, and even lent the two tractors that Gu Wanwan got to other teams. She really wasn't afraid of Gu Wanwan's quarrel."
"That Xu Luoxue is quite shameless. She occupied Gu Wanwan's house and even pried open the doors of Zheng Shican and Cheng Zhiming's rooms. She took all the good things in the house for herself and didn't know how to share them with a cousin like me. She gave all the things to honor Gu Yarou and even wanted to take the package. Fortunately, the package was intercepted by us. How could they take all the benefits? But if the matter of the package is exposed in the future, we can put the blame on Xu Luoxue."
"Xu Luoxue's family has a criminal record. Gu Wanwan's house and property were occupied by her mother and Gu Yarou's parents. Her mother is very bad. As an aunt, she took money but abused Gu Wanwan and her siblings. Gu Yarou's father was an adopted son, but he repaid kindness with hatred. Gu Wanwan and her siblings fell into my house. Xu Luoxue's biological mother and Gu Yarou's handiwork are involved. I tell you this to remind you that Gu Yarou is not a good person."
All day long she listened to Xu Luoxue bragging about how she was going to teach Gu Wanwan a lesson, while Gu Yarou acted as a kind peacemaker right beside her. The stupid Xu Luoxue didn't even notice that she had unknowingly become Gu Yarou's foil.
Until now, she still couldn't understand why Gu Wanwan, who had hit her head, had such a huge change in personality. She used to be weak and at the mercy of others, but now she is crazy and fierce and will do anything she wants if she doesn't obey.
Xu Luoxue took the initiative to provoke her, just to seek death.
She was almost impatient to see Gu Yarou and the others get beaten.
However, ever since she came to Xiangyang Village, the space system suddenly disappeared. It no longer appeared and no longer issued tasks. The system told her that Gu Yarou wanted to seize her space and compete with her for the title of the Girl of Fortune.
Could it be that Gu Yarou did something, or was it that the system went on strike and hibernated because she bought too few antiques?
Gu Pseudo System Wanwan said that she was just going out.
Du Qiaoju couldn't help but want to explain for Gu Yarou, "You are too prejudiced against Gu Yarou. She is just too kind and wants to help the villagers. Gu Wanwan is in Xiangyang Village, and her bicycle and tractor don't belong to the village. Can she take them away and sell them? Besides, the team leader has agreed. Can Gu Wanwan object? Unless she challenges the team leader's authority and doesn't want to stay in the village anymore."
At this time, Uncle Jiang came out of the office.
"Have you checked the manuscript? How much money can we get?"
