Fu Jialin had secretly sent people to protect and comfort Su Chenqiu, worried that the heavy snow that had blocked their door for so many days would affect their lives.
Contrary to his expectations, the news that came back said the family was doing very well, self-sufficient and able to stay at home.
...
Guo Chenpi looked out the window at the snow piled up on the road, which hadn't been cleared yet, and he was extremely anxious.
"The snow has stopped, so why hasn't anyone come to clear it yet?"
Tang Jiajia threw off the covers and sat up. Her hair was a mess, and she no longer looked like the pampered young lady she used to be. She looked no different from a middle-aged woman walking on the street.
"The hospital is in a remote area, and the cleanup team hasn't arrived here yet. They said someone will come to clean it up in the next day or two. Then we can leave this awful place."
The house was dilapidated and poorly soundproofed, and the food was practically pig swill. They claimed it was a hotel with meals included, but that was a complete lie.
Guo Chenpi snorted coldly: "Isn't this the awful place you found? If I had known it would be like this, I would have gone to another hotel."
"Back then, I didn't force you to live here. You paid for it voluntarily. How come you're blaming me for everything now?" Tang Jiajia retorted defiantly.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and they stopped talking.
Guo Chenpi went to the door and opened it, only to find Zhu San, who hadn't shown up for a week, standing at the door carrying some things.
"You little brat, you actually know how to come looking for us."
"Brother, I had no choice!" Zhu San walked into the house sideways and nodded to Tang Jiajia, whose clothes were disheveled and hair was messy.
He thought to himself, "Women really can't withstand this kind of treatment. In just a few days, a perfectly good girl has become no different from those streetwalkers."
I secretly felt it was a pity, but at the same time I wanted to play it again.
Guo Chenpi closed the door, turned around and walked back, noticing the bag was quite large: "What did you bring me all this way?"
"Good stuff! A pound of strong liquor, a roast chicken, and some peanuts and side dishes. The only staple food I could get was steamed buns. It cost ten yuan for all this." Zhu San was also heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. He was lucky to have even spent the money to buy anything.
Tang Jiajia couldn't sit still when she heard there was roast chicken, so she quickly crawled over and tore off a few chicken legs to eat.
"In this godforsaken place, we can't even get meat to eat every day."
"Sister-in-law, eat slowly!" Zhu San stared at her chest, his mouth watering.
Guo Chenpi cursed Tang Jiajia as a "bitch" in his heart, but dared not say it aloud.
"It's kind of you to bring so much stuff. How's the road clearing going? You've been planning this for so long, shouldn't you get started?"
"Except for the road in front of the hospital, which hasn't been cleared yet, the rest of the roads have started to be cleared. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come here; look, my pants are all wet."
"Don't interrupt, I'm asking you when you're going to make your move?" Guo Chenpi rejected his slyness. He'd taken so much money, and yet he hadn't made a move? Did he think he was a complete fool?
Zhu San took out a cup, poured two glasses of wine, one for each of them: "Brother, I've made arrangements. We'll make our move the day after tomorrow night, as long as there's a suitable opportunity."
I came here to talk to you about this.
"Have you figured out all the details about their family?" Guo Chenpi was slightly excited because he could finally take action. If he could get the formula, he could open a factory in the south.
Even if I can't get the recipe, I can still make some money, which is better than just living a life of idleness and waiting to die.
