These days, it's not something just anyone can do to change their rural household registration to an urban one.
Gu Wei ignored him and walked inside.
After all, he is Grandma's brother. Given his public image, it's not appropriate for him to interfere rashly. It's best to wait and see.
Li Guilong also understood that Rome wasn't built in a day, especially since he had left a particularly bad impression on others, so there was no point in rushing things.
"Guizhi used to love these sticky rice cakes the most. I just happened to have some freshly steamed at home, so I thought I'd come and bring some over! I didn't mean anything by it!"
Li Guizhi said with trembling lips, "I don't care what you're thinking, just don't come here again! Otherwise, don't blame me for having Jianguo beat you up!"
Because her brother, with whom she had severed ties, had repeatedly caused trouble, she felt angry, ashamed, and deeply saddened.
Upon hearing Li Guizhi's words, Gu Jianguo immediately grabbed Li Guilong by the collar, shouting, "Get back to where you came from with this bag of tattered sticky rice cakes!"
Li Guilong instinctively flinched.
He had been severely beaten by Gu Jianguo several times before, so how could he not be afraid?
However, when I thought about the household registration issue, I gritted my teeth and persevered.
"Even if you hit me, I deserve it! Who told us to do the wrong thing back then? Especially me, the older brother, I was such a bad brother! Now that our parents are gone, it's just the two of us siblings in the world. I'm here to bring you some things, not for any other reason than to make amends!"
"Compensation my ass! Where the hell were you before?! Even if you talk a good game now, we won't believe you! You people who won't do anything without a profit are probably up to no good again!"
Gu Jianguo didn't want to listen to Li Guilong anymore, so he grabbed him and pulled him outside.
Li Guilong didn't struggle. He stared intently at Li Guizhi and cried out urgently, "Guizhi, I'm so sorry! You're not well, don't be angry, and don't get agitated..."
Gu Jianguo angrily shouted, "Shut up!"
Gu Wei was so angry at this person that he almost laughed.
He went over and helped close the door.
When he turned around and saw Li Guizhi's complicated expression, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He was, after all, his grandmother's own brother. No matter how much he resented or complained, it seemed impossible for him to be completely cold-blooded and heartless.
Li Guizhi's face flushed red as she said to Gu Wei, "It's all Grandma's fault for not handling these matters well! It's affecting the shop's business."
Gu Wei waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay. I understand. He's got his own legs, and you can't control him even if you want to."
After Gu Jianguo got rid of the person, he returned to the shop and felt very embarrassed in front of Gu Wei.
"I'm so sorry, dealing with such a shameless jerk is just not going to end. Don't worry, if he dares to come again next time, I'll definitely kick him out without saying a word! It won't affect the business of the shop at all."
Gu Wei knew that his grandfather must be angry and frustrated, so he gently comforted him, "Grandpa, you're being too formal by saying these things. We're family, and nobody wants things to turn out like this."
Even though Gu Wei said these words with great magnanimity, Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi still felt uncomfortable.
They've received so much help from others, yet they still end up worrying about their own family matters.
Gu Wei said he had other things to do and left quickly.
Zhao Zhengying and Lin Yu tactfully used the excuse of warming up to go into the small house, leaving the couple some space to talk.
Li Guizhi sighed deeply, her eyes red, and said, "Why don't we think of something? I really don't want to see them again! Besides, Gu Wei has been so good to us, we can't repay him like this!"
"Yes. Even if the child is too embarrassed to say anything, we can't take advantage of their kindness and repay it with enmity. What kind of situation would that be!"
Gu Jianguo felt a pang of regret. If he had known that Li Guilong and his gang wouldn't give up and would try to get them back when he returned to the countryside...
Gu Wei was not yet aware of what the two had discussed in private.
Under the pretense of running errands, he leisurely strolled around the Forestry Bureau, enjoying the snow scenery to his heart's content, before finally finding a place to return to the modern world.
Because the private kitchen's cold storage has a large quantity of vegetables, Gu Wei hasn't been there to visit recently.
Since he had nothing to do today, Gu Wei changed his clothes and drove to the store for lunch.
From before the opening to after, Gu Wei played the role of a hands-off manager.
Therefore, whether he comes or not has almost no impact on the store's operations.
However, when he appeared at the store entrance, a tall and slender greeter opened the door for Gu Wei with a beaming smile.
Jianfei and the others also smiled broadly.
A group of waiters and servers greeted Mr. Gu in unison.
Gu Wei found the spectacle somewhat amusing.
He smiled and nodded, then went upstairs.
Jian Fei immediately followed behind him, ready to report on her recent work.
In the large office, Zhou Wenyi and Song Daming were chatting.
Suddenly, Gu Wei appeared.
Zhou Wenyi immediately showed a joyful and excited expression.
"Brother Gu, you've arrived."
"Yes, I came to check on you. Are you all alright?"
"very good."
Zhou Wenyi said in a soft voice.
Then I silently added in my mind, "Actually, it's not good at all."
Her purpose in coming to work at the store was to win over the person she liked.
Unfortunately, he was rejected after confessing his feelings.
Later, she clearly sensed that Gu Wei might have developed feelings for her, but then he stopped showing up.
It makes people unable to exert their strength, even if they have the power.
