The elderly couple knew that their son and daughter-in-law were honest people, so they didn't stand on ceremony with them.
He Meizhu used the money she earned from the convenience store to improve the family's meals from time to time, and Lu Huaijiao and the others did not stop her from doing so.
As long as the old man is happy, that's all that matters. Lu Huaijiao doesn't need the money.
While Gu Changzheng wasn't as wealthy as Lu Huaijiao, he had other ways to make money. Two months ago, he rented a shop on the pedestrian street and started selling ready-made clothes from the south.
Colorful, stylish, and inexpensive ready-to-wear clothing is selling exceptionally well.
In just two months, Gu Changzheng earned enough to rent a shop.
He also rented the shop next door and opened it up to sell more bedding products from the south.
Business is still booming.
However, since Gu Changzheng still had to go to school, Gu Tiezhu was hired to manage the shop. He was paid 100 yuan a month and given full authority over the shop's affairs.
Gu Tiezhu had no objections.
He can make money, and Gu Changzheng can feel at ease about the shop; it's a win-win situation.
In just over half a year, the streets of the provincial capital have transformed from having only a few scattered vendors to having vendors selling all sorts of things everywhere.
Even so, Gu's convenience store at the entrance of the alley still has its own customers.
Lu Huaijiao nodded to Gu Jianhua when she heard his voice.
"Dad, do you have my phone number?"
She called Grandpa Shu a while ago and asked him to help investigate the matter of Lu Zhengde and his wife. Grandpa Shu said he would give him some time to investigate.
Two or three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and she had almost forgotten that she had not received a call from Grandpa Shu.
This made Lu Huaijiao a little uneasy.
I wonder if something happened to Grandpa Shu?
Gu Jianhua exclaimed "Ah!", thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"No, no one called you. What's wrong, Huaijiao? Is something the matter?"
"It's okay, Dad. I'll go back to my room now."
"Okay, by the way, your mom made mung bean soup, remember to drink it."
As the weather gets hotter, He Meizhu occasionally makes some refreshing food, and she always keeps mung bean soup on hand at home.
Lu Huaijiao also likes to eat sweet things.
Especially when you hang it in a well for a while, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Of course, if possible, Lu Huaijiao would prefer to have a refrigerator.
But it's not possible now; refrigerators are too expensive, and Gu Changzheng doesn't have much money to buy one.
but……
Lu Huaijiao suddenly remembered that she would be twenty-two years old soon, at which point she could officially inherit her grandmother's estate, and then she would be a truly wealthy person...
That being said, it seems she needs to go back to Shanghai.
To inherit Grandma's estate, and also to see if something happened to Grandpa Shu.
After entering the house, Lu Huaijiao changed into a comfortable set of home clothes and went to the kitchen to drink soy soup while planning when to arrange her trip to Shanghai.
At the vocational school not far from their home, as the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, Gu Changzheng walked out of the school, preparing to go home for dinner.
Many people went home for lunch. When they arrived at the school gate, they saw a woman with a large belly dressed in a rustic style, standing there as if waiting for someone.
However, they weren't very interested in it.
What they were more interested in was how Zhang Qiang had managed to seduce the principal's daughter.
"Brother Changzheng, what's so good about Zhang Qiang?"
Zhang Mingming and Gu Changzheng walked out together.
In the past few months, he has become friends with Gu Changzheng and is completely captivated by Gu Changzheng's personal charm, willingly calling him "brother".
As for his past mistake of not being careful enough to glance at his sister-in-law a few more times, everyone laughed it off in his later explanation.
Zhang Mingming now regards Gu Changzheng as her own brother.
Lu Huaijiao is naturally my sister-in-law.
Recently, something very difficult to understand happened at their school: their principal's daughter, Liu Meiling, actually started dating Zhang Qiang.
This puzzled Zhang Mingming greatly.
He really didn't understand what was so good about Zhang Qiang that made him worthy of the principal's daughter's favor.
Of course, he didn't like Liu Meiling either; he simply couldn't understand her.
After trying to figure it out on his own for several days, Zhang Mingming still couldn't come up with a solution, so today he boldly asked his older brother.
Gu Changzheng glanced at Zhang Mingming.
"Didn't you see how devoted he's been to Liu Meiling all this time?"
Regardless of whether Zhang Qiang is a good person or not, as long as his attitude towards Liu Meiling is enough to win her heart, that's fine.
Zhang Mingming thought about it and realized that seemed to be the case.
He sighed and said, "That Liu Meiling used to try to get close to you, but after she found out you married my sister-in-law, she immediately set her sights on Zhang Qiang. She's really blind."
"Oh……"
Gu Changzheng sneered.
If Liu Meiling hadn't said anything bad about his daughter, he probably would have reminded her that Zhang Qiang wasn't a good match.
Unfortunately, Liu Meiling, relying on being the principal's daughter, thought that his daughter Jiaojiao was a lowly villager and that she was not good enough for him.
A woman who can say such vicious things shouldn't be pitied when she's courting death.
As they spoke, Gu Changzheng and his group had already reached the school gate.
Seeing the familiar figure at the door, Gu Changzheng's sneer deepened.
Zhang Qiang's good days are over.
Zhang Mingming was dazzled by his brother's laughter.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You suddenly started laughing, it scared me." Zhang Mingming looks very refined, but he's actually quite funny. Sure enough, he subconsciously shrank back as he spoke.
They seemed genuinely frightened by Gu Changzheng.
Gu Changzheng's lips curled into a slight smile.
"That's Zhang Qiang's wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked over.
Zhang Mingming: ? ? ?
Wait, what's going on? Zhang Qiang is already married? If he's married, how dare he date Liu Meiling?
Wait, how did his brother know Zhang Qiang was married?
What's even more terrifying is why his brother would stand by and watch Liu Meiling date him, even though he knew Zhang Qiang was married?
this……
Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?
Zhang Mingming was startled by the image in his mind. When he came to his senses, he found that his brother was already talking to the woman.
No one knows what he said, but a look of shock appeared on the woman's face.
"Brother Changzheng, are you telling the truth?"
Gu Yanping looked at Gu Changzheng in disbelief, unable to believe that what she had just heard was true.
Her husband has started dating someone else in the city? And the girl is the principal's daughter?
So... does their marriage still count?
She's pregnant with Zhang Qiang's child! What... what are we going to do?
