Chapter 18: So Thick-skinned
Afterwards, there was a quarrel coming from the outer room. It was a dispute between Gu Dagang and Zhang Lan.
There were sounds of bowls being smashed during the quarrel, but after Gu Moli came back, the couple's quarrel stopped.
Gu Moli scolded Gu Dagang, "Dad, why are you like this? My mom is doing this for you and for the good of this family. Gu Yan is possessed by evil spirits. If she continues to stay at home, who knows what trouble she might cause. Besides, if she is sent away, I can get my brother a wife. Don't you want my brother to get married quickly and give you a grandson?"
Gu Dagang squatted in the corner, puffing on his cigarette, frowning, and not saying a word.
There was a big slap mark on his face.
Zhang Lan held her chin high, looking very proud. She snorted coldly, "Gu Dagang, you've forgotten that you couldn't even find a wife back then. If I hadn't married you, you'd still be a bachelor! I gave birth to your son, and then I worked as a nanny to earn money to build a house. And now you dare to bully me? You're so ungrateful and have no conscience!"
Gu Yan heard everything clearly in the west room and felt that Gu Dagang was really an honest man. If he had not married Zhang Lan, how could he not have found a wife?
Although Zhang Lan gave birth to a son for Gu Dagang, if Zhang Lan had not gone out to play cards when Gu Qiang had a high fever and delayed seeing a doctor, Gu Qiang would not have become what he is today.
As for the money to build the house, well, it cost a total of one thousand yuan, and Zhang Lan took two hundred and fifty, and then she told everyone that the house was built with the money she earned from working as a nanny.
This guy is really thick-skinned.
Gu Moli was about to join in, but just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from the west room. Just like last night, it was a somewhat creepy sound!
"Jasmine...Jasmine...Jasmine..."
Gu Moli's face suddenly changed with fear and she hid behind Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan was so frightened that her heart was pounding. She pushed Gu Dagang and said, "Go, go to the west room and see who's there!"
It was just getting dark. After what happened last night, Zhang Lan and her daughter were like frightened birds, so they naturally had no time to bully Gu Dagang.
Gu Dagang was worried about Gu Yan, so he immediately threw away his cigarette butt and walked into the west room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Yan still sleeping there. He looked around but there was nothing there.
He came out again and said to Zhang Lan and her daughter, "There's only Yan in the west room. She's still sleeping there. There's no one else there."
"I can't stay here anymore. I have to go to the special training team!" Gu Moli ran into the east room a little collapsed.
Zhang Lan was still frightened, but she said nothing more. She just cooked some food and took her son and daughter to eat.
She has made up her mind. As soon as the special training team leaves tomorrow, she will ask Blacksmith Wang to come and take Gu Yan away!
Fortunately, this girl Gu Yan was possessed by an evil spirit. In this way, Jasmine can legitimately replace her and go to the special training team!
That night, Zhang Lan and her daughter did not sleep well. They woke up early in the morning with panda eyes. Gu Moli's face was especially haggard. She had a nightmare all night last night.
Gu Moli dreamed that Gu Yan was covered in blood and crawling towards her.
As he climbed, he kept calling out, "Jasmine! Jasmine!"
However, after breakfast, when they saw two comrades in interstellar special warfare uniforms coming to their house, the eyes of Zhang Lan and her daughter suddenly lit up.
Gu Moli, in particular, immediately walked over enthusiastically and asked, "Excuse me, are you from the special training team?"
One of the older, more friendly comrades smiled and nodded, then asked, "Hello, is this Gu Yan's residence?"
