No one knew that Shen Yicheng and his companion came to the countryside solely to visit an old professor who had been sent to the cowshed in Dawan Village.
The professor's surname was Wen. A few years ago, he was betrayed by his own son and framed by his students. He was sent down to Dawan Village and lived in a cowshed.
They do the hardest work every day and eat the least food, all under the guise of washing away his incorrect thoughts and guiding him onto the right path...
Shen Yicheng secretly visited Grandpa Wen yesterday. The old man, who had never suffered before, had spent three years in the cowshed, and his body was long since exhausted.
Although Gu Jianhua usually took good care of the people in the cowshed, he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so few of the people in the cowshed were in good health.
In this day and age, no one dares to have close contact with people who have been sent down to the cowshed.
Yesterday, Shen Yicheng secretly went over, only to bring the old man some food, check his pulse, and examine his body. He didn't dare linger, fearing that staying too long might cause problems.
Now that I think about it carefully, this won't work. We need to find a way to live together openly and legitimately as soon as possible.
Shen Yicheng did not adopt Chen Yuanzhao's suggestion.
Instead, she glanced at him and called him to leave.
Chen Yuanzhao rubbed his nose, turned around and caught up with Shen Yicheng: "By the way, those two idiots just said that if we get on good terms with the captain's family, we might be able to get a good job. Should we go and give him some gifts so he'll turn a blind eye and let us bring Grandpa out?"
"Do you consider the cowshed your home?"
Shen Yicheng didn't want to answer at first, but as Chen Yuanzhao's words became more and more outrageous, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Sending them to the cowshed was a decision made by the higher-ups. Not to mention the brigade leader, even the head of the commune, the town mayor, or the county magistrate wouldn't dare to make such a decision."
“Oh, what can we do? We can’t just stand by and watch Grandpa live in that drafty cowshed! It’s alright in the summer, but in the winter, the cold wind blows and it’ll freeze you to the bone.”
"If even we young people can't stand this weather, how can you expect Grandpa to endure it?"
Just thinking about that scene gave Chen Yuanzhao goosebumps. If he, a young and strong man, couldn't handle it, how could his maternal grandfather, an archaeological researcher, possibly withstand it?
"Old Shen..."
"I understand, I'm thinking of a way."
Shen Yicheng raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling a great headache.
This isn't Shanghai, but the situation is similar. Without any major policy changes, any rash action he takes might not only fail to save his grandfather but also endanger himself and Yuan Zhao.
He himself was fine, but Chen Yuanzhao was not.
He had no family ties with them whatsoever; the only reason he came along was because of their childhood friendship. He couldn't let Chen Yuanzhao suffer.
"Let me think about it."
Shen Yicheng had a terrible headache!
Chen Yuanzhao looked at him and sighed, then quickly racked his brains, thinking about how to help.
…………
In the river near the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, a head popped out of the once calm river.
After breathing in the fresh air, Gu Changzheng coughed to catch his breath, and only then did he feel his dizzy head come back to life.
Lu Huaijiao darted out from behind him like a mermaid. Compared to Gu Changzheng's face turning purple from holding his breath, Lu Huaijiao looked much better.
Her complexion was rosy, and she had a contented smile in her eyes, as if she had been enjoying a long time in a hot spring pool rather than soaking in the water for ten or twenty minutes.
"I told you you couldn't do it, but you insisted on going down there. Now you know how bad you are, right?"
Lu Huaijiao's sheer swimsuit clung to her body, revealing her beautiful curves. She lingered beside Gu Changzheng, her hands gently splashing the water, her movements incredibly graceful.
After they entered the water, Gu Changzheng came out to catch his breath, but Lu Huaijiao didn't come out at all. She was just like a fish, able to breathe freely underwater.
Although the exact cause is still unclear, it doesn't stop her from feeling a little proud, smug, and self-satisfied in front of Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng found it somewhat amusing.
No longer worried that she would drown, he felt relieved.
He pulled the smug little girl who was circling around him into his arms and gave her a big kiss.
He only released her when she was almost panting and sliding off him. He turned and swam towards the shore with one hand while keeping the other arm around her waist.
He led the people towards the shore.
Someone offered to do the hard labor, carrying her to the shore, but Lu Huaijiao didn't mind lying down and waiting.
Those are the things they just found underwater; I hope they don't lose them.
Seeing that the little girl, who clearly possessed a fortune, was still thinking about those old objects underwater, he found it somewhat amusing: "Jiaojiao, those things are worthless."
There were indeed several boxes on the riverbed, which was about thirty meters deep. They had just reached the bottom and opened the boxes when they were nearly blinded by the gold inside.
There were four boxes in total. Three of them were filled with gold, while the other, larger box was filled with various jade artifacts, bronzes, and porcelains that I couldn't name.
The box was quite old, but it was still in good condition, and the contents had never been touched. It was certain that Lu Huaijiao and her group were the first to discover something underwater.
The couple didn't rush to retrieve the items; after camouflaging them, they swam to the surface.
He had no choice but to come out; Gu Changzheng's lungs were about to explode.
The man, who was always better than Lu Huaijiao in everything, suffered a great loss in diving this time, and he felt that his manly dignity was about to be swept away.
Moreover, Lu Huaijiao kept reminding him from the side, which made him even angrier.
So, after kissing and cuddling her in the water, once they were on shore and dressed, he kissed her passionately again. He didn't let her go until her lips were swollen and red, and her mouth hurt when she breathed.
Her mouth hurt, so she couldn't very well laugh at herself for being incapable.
Gu Changzheng thought angrily.
Lu Huaijiao pouted, glancing at him sideways with a look that was both fierce and soft, yet alluring.
Gu Changzheng was willing to entrust his life to her.
"Jiaojiao..."
He stepped forward and put his arm around the person.
Before I could do anything, another muffled groan of pleasure reached my ears.
Immediately afterwards, a voice that sounded very familiar entered their ears.
"Little fairy, I've missed you so much."
Lu Huaijiao looked at Gu Changzheng with a puzzled expression. Why did she think that the voice was her second brother's? That honest and simple Gu Changqing, who had just fought with Xu Honglian yesterday, was now rolling around in the bamboo forest with a woman?
Still calling someone a little vixen?
She felt as if her entire worldview was about to shatter.
Gu Changzheng, who was being watched, twitched the corner of his mouth and hugged the person, hiding them further inside.
