Chapter 374 How to Sleep
Gu Xizhou seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and a hint of mockery flashed across his lips.
Under Grandpa Gongsun's expectant gaze, he nodded.
"Can."
Before the smile on Grandpa Gongsun's face could fully bloom, he heard Gu Xizhou say, "But you must compensate for this money."
"Nanzhi and I will donate the compensation you pay to the Baihua Lane Subdistrict Office. We will also donate another 200 yuan to improve the street conditions."
After saying this, he looked at the neighbors standing at the door and said, "I hope everyone can bear witness and make Baihua Lane a better place."
No one expected that Gu Xizhou would donate the compensation money to the street office, and he would also donate another 200 yuan.
Those who originally thought that Gu Xizhou was a bit unreasonable now showed an expression of self-blame on their faces.
They are so narrow-minded, they don't even have the integrity to care about their comrades.
Uncle Gongsun felt grief-stricken after hearing this. If Gu Xizhou had really taken the compensation, he could have made a good deal of it, but now that people were going to donate it directly, he was immediately put in a difficult position.
"Okay, okay, thank you Comrade Gu and Xiao Su for supporting our Baihua Lane." Director Hao hadn't expected such a good thing to happen, and his face instantly turned into a smile. "We'll plan how to use this money when the time comes."
After saying this, he turned around and saw Uncle Gongsun, and his expression immediately changed.
"Gongsun, I think you've lived your life in vain. You're not as conscious as Comrade Gu, a young man. Why don't you compensate Comrade Gu 100 yuan?"
Ignoring Uncle Gongsun's reaction, Director Hao looked at Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi again.
"Comrade Gu, Xiao Su, can you accept this?"
Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
100 yuan is not too much, but not too little either. Director Hao is being fair.
When Grandpa Gongsun heard the word 100 yuan, his face instantly fell.
Although his family has many people, they are all useless. It takes a family of six months to save 100 yuan. Now Director Hao asks them to pay 100 yuan in compensation. This is like cutting his heart with a knife.
He opened his mouth to refuse.
The people at the door began to agree.
"It's only 100 yuan. I think it's still too little. The Gongsun family is seriously violating a military marriage. They should go to jail."
"Compared to ruining military marriages, I think bribing soldiers is a more serious crime. You'll have to eat peanuts for that. A relative of mine's neighbor's second uncle's nephew died that way before."
"My family lives next to the Gongsun family. I have to keep an eye on my children and avoid interacting with them. If they learn bad habits from them, it will be too late to regret it..."
"That's right, the Gongsun family is a rat shit in Baihua Lane. I think we should drive them out..."
Hearing these words, Uncle Gongsun broke out in a cold sweat and dared not say anything else, for fear of angering the crowd and being kicked out of Baihua Lane.
He managed to force a smile on his face.
"Director Hao, my family is paying compensation just to give us some time."
After saying that, he pulled Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting on the ground pretending to be mute, and went home.
He had only taken a few steps when Gu Xizhou called him.
"Uncle Gongsun, have you forgotten something?"
Grandpa Gongsun paused and kicked Aunt Gongsun hard again, "Apologize."
Aunt Gongsun then spoke vaguely, "Apologize."
When she heard her voice, Su Nanzhi realized that Aunt Gongsun had lost her front teeth.
Although she didn't like Aunt Gongsun, she wasn't very happy to see her with a bruised face.
"Uncle Gongsun, although Aunt Gongsun did something wrong, do you dare to say that you knew nothing?" Su Nanzhi said sarcastically, "Now that something has happened, you are putting the blame on a woman. You are such a man."
After saying that, she waved at the two of them.
"Let's go quickly, everyone needs to rest at night."
Uncle Gongsun's face turned pale and blue. He pulled the dazed Aunt Gongsun over and wanted to teach her a lesson, but considering the people present, he could only drag her away cursing.
As soon as the two of them left, there was no more excitement to watch and the crowd quickly dispersed.
Suddenly, only Director Hao, Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou were left in the yard.
Director Hao rubbed his hands and said uncomfortably, "Comrade Gu, Xiao Su, what are you going to do with this money..."
He was embarrassed to continue speaking halfway, but Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi both understood what he meant.
Gu Xizhou looked at Su Nanzhi, a hint of apology flashing across his face.
This time he spent 200 yuan without Nanzhi's consent, and he didn't know if Nanzhi would be angry.
Seeing his cautiousness, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but reflect that she wasn't that stingy after all?
However, Gu Xizhou respected her, so she would not embarrass Gu Xizhou in public.
She quickly returned to the bedroom, took out 200 yuan and handed it to Director Hao.
After receiving a dozen dollars, Director Hao's smile became even brighter.
"Comrade Gu, Xiao Su, thank you for your donation to Baihua Lane. We will mark the purpose of each payment."
"If you have any problems at home, feel free to come to me."
Although Su Nanzhi had not spent much time dealing with Director Hao, she knew that although Director Hao was a bit smooth-talking, he was diligent in his work and was trustworthy.
She chatted with Director Hao for a few more words, and then Director Hao left happily.
The yard, which was bustling just a moment ago, was now filled with only two people, and the air instantly became quiet.
Seeing that Su Nanzhi didn't say anything, Gu Xizhou immediately came up and admitted his mistake.
"Nanzhi, you can deduct the 200 yuan I spent today from my pocket money."
Seeing that Su Nanzhi didn't say anything, he immediately added: "Next time there is such a thing, I will definitely discuss it with you."
Su Nanzhi didn't care about this matter at first, but when she heard him talk about it, she immediately looked angry.
"Hmph, Gu Xizhou, I told you you're a smooth talker, but you still don't admit it."
"I just got your passbook, and you've already taken your pocket money in advance, planned to hold a wedding, and donated money. Tell me today, how much pocket money do you plan to ask for each month in the future?"
Gu Xizhou immediately became anxious.
"Give me 5 yuan a month for pocket money, and I can pay it back in a few years."
Su Nanzhi looked at his pitiful appearance and immediately laughed out loud.
"Gu Xizhou, you are so embarrassed to ask for only 5 yuan pocket money a month. I am embarrassed to give it to you."
"If your comrades knew about this, they would think I was some tigress."
After saying that, she ignored Gu Xizhou and walked into the bedroom with ease.
But as soon as she entered the bedroom, she felt a little regretful.
So how will she and Gu Xizhou sleep tonight?
