Gu Yiye wasn't in a hurry. He bargained and said casually, "400 yuan, I'll give it to you all at once. From now on, we'll cut ties. I won't care about anything you do in the future."
When it really matters, it's the man who makes the decision. Gu Dadan made the final decision: "Give us 500. Even if we're so poor we can't afford to eat after that, we won't ask you for money."
500 was exactly the price Gu Yiye was looking for, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said, "I don't have that much. I have to borrow it, and I'm not sure I can."
He then rode his bicycle out the door.
No sooner had he left than Cao Chunhua complained to Gu Dadan: "He said 500, and you agreed? Maybe if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten 600."
Gu Dadan said, "Forget it. His uncle asked someone to bring him to us before because we were short of a son. Now that we have Gu Yong, we have a biological son to take care of us in our old age. Gu Yiye is cunning; he must have known all along. Let's part ways amicably!"
Gu Dadan felt that since he wasn't his son, there was no need to force him to stay; he should just take back what he had invested in him over the years.
500 seems like a lot, but Gu Dadan also has a clear understanding of the situation. Prices are different now than they were 20 years ago. If they hadn't adopted Gu Yiye back then, their family would have built a new house long ago.
Now, 500 can only repair one house; besides money, it also requires energy.
When Gu Yiye was a child, he was weak. Cao Chunhua felt sorry for him because he was always sick and searched everywhere for folk remedies. Later, she heard that rice and oil were good for health.
They insisted on giving Gu Yiye a bowl of rice gruel every day; otherwise, how could Gu Yiye's body be so strong now?
Gu Yiye rode his bicycle to the brigade's distribution point, spent 80 cents to buy a pound of meat, and also bought 20 pounds of rice for 2.8 yuan, which he then delivered to Lin Shanshan.
Of course, meat coupons and food coupons also had to be given, and Gu Yiye had a lot of these things, most of which he got from the black market.
Lin Shanshan was worried at the educated youth settlement: where should she plant so many seeds?
The brigade is about to plant summer rice. It shouldn't be a problem to ask the village for a test field to plant rice in a couple of days.
But if we were to grow vegetables in the fields, the brigade cadres would definitely not agree, since there were no vegetable gardens around the educated youth settlement.
I'm afraid we'll end up having to clear wasteland.
Just when Lin Shanshan was at her wit's end, Gu Yiye arrived, bringing meat and rice.
Gu Yiyeren arrived first, his voice preceding him: "Zeng Huihuang, Chen Meili, come on, lend a hand, carry the rice inside and put it away. This rice and meat are only for Shanshan and the two of you."
Gu Yiye received a warm welcome from Chen Meili, who hadn't eaten meat or even had enough to eat for many days, because of this pound of meat and 20 pounds of rice.
"Big brother, Gu Yiye, from today onwards you are my own big brother!"
Zeng Huihuang said with a grin.
“Yes, you are my only older brother!” Chen Meili chimed in, adding the word “only”!
Gu Yiye said, "Don't think you can get away with this for free. While I'm away, you'd better protect Shanshan's safety."
Zeng Huihuang and Chen Meili quickly agreed, promising to complete the task.
Fang Duoduo has disappeared.
Huang Daren packed his bags and went to stay at Yang Wenqing's house.
Chen Meili gossiped, "Big brother, you don't know, Yang Wenqing was beaten so badly that he cowered there for a long time before he came to his senses and left crying."
"Huang Daren was supporting her, his face was all black, and he was cursing Yang Wenqing, saying that she brought it on herself."
Zeng Huihuang said, "That Huang Daren, he curses Yang Wenqing while eagerly following her home for a good meal. He has no backbone."
Gu Yiye smiled, walked up to Lin Shanshan, and asked softly, "My little wife, did you miss me?"
Lin Shanshan's ears turned red, but she didn't answer. How come she never noticed how shameless this person was in her past life?
Gu Yiye teased his wife for a while, then glanced at the sun and decided it was about time. He got up to say goodbye: "Shanshan, I'm leaving now. I'll cook dinner, you guys just wait and eat."
After saying that, he hurriedly rode away on his bicycle.
Upon arriving at the Gu family's residence, Gu Yiye said, "I just managed to get some cash, so I won't give it to you in two installments. I'll give you 500 yuan all at once, but you must go to Secretary Liu Jianshe's house and ask him to be a witness!"
Cao Chunhua was overjoyed to hear that she could pay the 500 yuan all at once.
Now my youngest son's marriage is settled, and I'm sure I'll make sure his wedding is the most spectacular in the whole brigade!
Of course he was unwilling, so he quickly agreed to Gu Yiye's request.
Gu Yiye went to his room, packed some simple bedding and clothes, made a big bundle, put it on the back of his bicycle, and then went to Liu Jianshe's house with Gu Dadan and Cao Chunhua!
