Gu Jingmo fed Xia Jin some fruit and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely protect Xiao Jin. I won't let other people's gossip affect her life, and I won't let it reach her ears."
Xia Jin said, "I'm fine. No matter what they say, my life won't change. I'll just eat and drink as usual. I'm just afraid that if I come to your house before we're engaged, the news will spread all over the city and affect your family."
Father Gu said domineeringly: "This matter has no impact on us. As for your mother's affairs, Xiaojin, you can go ahead and do it. We support you no matter what. Our family is not afraid that these things will affect our position."
"Why would a capable person be afraid of the criticisms of petty people? Just do it with confidence, we'll be there for you."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Uncle, I understand."
Xia Jin was very moved when she heard this. It turned out that they knew all the concerns she had always had. Even if what she did might have an impact on their family, and although the final result might not change, their process would definitely be more difficult than before.
But he still encouraged himself to do it, and do it boldly. Father Gu's words gave Xia Jin a reassurance. Xia Jin did not have to be cautious in taking revenge on his stepfather's family. He could boldly use his own methods. Even if he did not handle it well, they would not blame him.
Xia Jin received six red envelopes this afternoon. Gu's father, mother, brother and sister-in-law all gave Xia Jin a red envelope. Although Gu Jingmo also gave out a lot, it was different. These were the elders' full love and blessings for herself.
Xia Jin finally met Gu Jingmo's two remaining nephews, Gu Zhaozhi and Gu Zhaoxiang. Gu Zhaozhi was the one who bought Xia Jin's ginseng, but he didn't recognize Xia Jin. After all, at that time, Xia Jin's hair covered his face and his skin was not so good.
However, when Xia Jin greeted him, Gu Zhaozhi asked doubtfully, "Have we met there before? The voice sounds familiar."
Xia Jin said, "I haven't seen it. Maybe my voice is more popular." But fortunately, Gu Zhaozhi didn't dwell on this question. He waved his hand and said, "Maybe."
Gu Jingmo secretly squeezed Xia Jin's hand. Xia Jin looked up at him. Gu Jingmo said silently with a puzzled look on his face, "I haven't seen it."
Xia Jin glared at him angrily and said silently: "Don't talk nonsense, if you reveal the trap, I will come to you."
At noon, Xia Jin accompanied them to eat. The table was very rich with freshly made dishes. After the meal, their family played mahjong. Xia Jin didn't know how to play mahjong, so at first he could only watch them play from behind.
Gu Jingmo played two games, then pulled Xia Jin to sit in his seat and asked her to play. Xia Jin said, "I don't know how to play at all. What if I lose?"
Gu Zhaozhi said excitedly: "It's okay, it's okay. My uncle is rich." God knows that Gu Zhaozhi was beaten badly by Gu Jingmo every time he played mahjong with Gu Jingmo. Now that a newbie has finally come, Gu Zhaozhi thinks he can finally take revenge.
Gu Jingmo glanced at the excited Gu Zhaozhi and said, "It's okay. If you lose, you lose. I'll earn it back for you later."
Seeing that Gu Jingmo said so, Xia Jin did not refuse and started to play, but at the beginning he needed Gu Jingmo to guide him.
As expected, he lost the first round. Gu Zhaozhi excitedly stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry up, give me money, give me money. After all these years, I can finally win money from my uncle."
Gu Jingmo handed it to him and said, "What's so great about beating a beginner?"
Gu Zhaozhi took the chips and said, "I don't care. It's all your money anyway. Winning your money is worth my excitement."
Xia Jin lost the first four or five games, but then he gradually became familiar with it, found the feeling, and gradually started to win, with some wins and some losses.
After playing for a while, Xia Jin had enough and stood up and said to Gu Jingmo, "Come here and let me rest."
Gu Jingmo sat in Xia Jin's seat and began to kill all the opponents. Gradually, the chips in front of Gu Jingmo piled up more and more. Gu Zhaozhi looked at the few chips left in front of him and cried, "No more, no more. I will have no money if I come again."
Gu Zhaozhao looked at him and said, "Promising."
Gu Zhaozhi sat up straight and said, "It's not you who lost, so of course you don't feel bad." Indeed, Gu Zhaozhi and Gu Zhaohe were the worst off at the whole table. They had almost no chips in front of them. Although Gu Zhaozhao didn't have as many chips as Gu Jingmo, he actually made a small profit after sorting them out.
Gu Jingmo leaned back in his chair and said, "If you don't come, just take the money."
They didn't play big, just one-cent bets. Gu Jingmo counted the chips in front of him and said, "Two dollars each. Hurry up and pay."
It was obviously a small amount of money but Gu Zhaozhi had to act reluctant to part with it, as if he couldn't afford to eat without it. What a cute acting.
Gu Zhaozhao impatiently snatched the money and handed it to Gu Jingmo, saying, "What are you doing so slowly?"
Gu Zhaozhi's money was robbed, and he started quarreling with Gu Zhaozhao while laughing. The two of them were a pair of funny guys and both loved to act.
Xia Jin played at Gu's house until dinner in the evening before returning to his courtyard with Gu Jingmo. Another day of laughter passed. Xia Jin lived a relaxed and happy life every day in the capital.
On the third day of junior high school, Xia Jin and his friends made an appointment with Fu Shen and his friends to go out for dinner. The two of them arrived at the agreed location a little after eleven o'clock. This place was a restaurant that Gu Jingmo and his friends often visited, and they always ate here together.
The restaurant has good privacy, delicious food and good service, so they are willing to come here every time.
The two of them went to the private room they had reserved and waited for a few minutes. Li Dezhong and his group arrived first. Li Dechen greeted them and sat there, saying very little. Li Dezhong, on the other hand, was chatting with them. After more than ten minutes, Fu Shen finally arrived.
The scene became lively as Fu Shen arrived. He kept chatting with people and had no time to rest. Fu Shen and Li Dechen talked about everything.
After Ye Mingzhe arrived, he started to ask the waiter to serve the dishes. In between serving the dishes, Fu Shen talked about the progress of their joint business and some problems they encountered.
The dishes were served very quickly. Everyone ate quickly even though they were not drinking. They chatted while eating. Xia Jin had almost finished eating and drank a little too much of his drink, so he went to the bathroom. If Xia Jin had known that this would happen, he would rather hold it in and go home.
