Li Bin stared intently at the aluminum lunchbox.
The mother and sister were terrified when they learned that Xin had sent food to them. In their panic, they didn't even consider bringing him any.
So, the two of them went home to get their things.
Gu Wei noticed that Li Bin swallowed hard, and knew he was hungry.
He opened the aluminum lunchbox and asked Gu Hongjie for help.
Gu Hongjie and Li Bin got along very well. When he saw Li Bin being beaten up like this, his eyes reddened as soon as he entered the ward. He immediately moved a stool to sit by the bed and fed Li Bin, who could only lie down.
Gu Wei and the others continued chatting with Li's mother, whose eyes were red and swollen.
As they chatted, Li's mother looked at Gu Wei and said, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Once my second son is better, I don't plan to let him do the watch-selling business anymore! Gu Wei, I want to discuss something with you."
Gu Wei had a rough idea of what it was about. "Aunt Li, tell me."
Li's mother said, "I think the things in your shop are quite good. Could you sell some to my family so we can set up a stall in the city's greenhouses?"
Gu Wei readily agreed, "Of course. There's a street vendor in the city who got his goods from me before."
Li's mother smiled with delight: "That's wonderful!"
Li Bin, however, could not quite manage a smile.
After the God of Wealth left, his mother had already begged and pleaded with him to agree.
Actually, what he really wanted to do was resell watches—it was free and easy, and the money came quickly.
Unfortunately, he managed to slip up unexpectedly.
Gu Wei noticed Li Bin's expression and was somewhat aware of his reluctance.
But given the current situation, we must agree first, so that Li's anxious, upset, and distressed mother can finally have her wish fulfilled and be happy.
As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about that later.
It was already late, and even though hospitals in remote areas weren't so strict about visiting hours, Gu Wei and his group couldn't stay any longer.
Just as the group was getting up to leave, Li Qiang and Li Tong returned with bedding, a thermos, an enamel basin, and other items for hospital use.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, everyone went on to exchange pleasantries.
Gu Jianguo and the others were not very familiar with the third son of the Li family.
As the family of four left the hospital and slowly walked home, they chatted for a few minutes about Li Tong.
"The forestry vocational school that the girl attended is quite good. She can graduate early and be guaranteed a job, start working early and earn money early. Even if she can't get into a government agency, she can still get into a factory, have a secure job, and be guaranteed a stable income for life. She'll even get a pension when she gets old."
Gu Wei thought to himself, "So that's what my grandfather was thinking. No wonder my father went to a vocational school later."
He took the opportunity to subtly infiltrate the situation: "It's hard to say, things change. Vocational school graduates are still not as sought after as university graduates. And what if the factory goes bankrupt one day? Suddenly you'll go from being a worker to nothing, not even as good as a farmer."
Gu Jianguo couldn't help but retort: "That can't be! People in the forest area always say 'When the train whistles, gold pours in,' and I see all the factories are thriving! How could they possibly fail?"
Gu Wei argued logically, "Grandpa, the timber resources in this forest area are limited. With such massive logging and transporting timber all over the country, even the largest forest can't sustain it. Besides, you've experienced the cancellation of the college entrance exam, the 'Down to the Countryside Movement,' and the reinstatement of the college entrance exam..."
This left Gu Jianguo speechless and deep in thought.
Li Guizhi and Gu Hongjie also had their own thoughts.
This is exactly the effect Gu Wei wanted.
He walked slowly with his hands behind his back.
I would occasionally look up at the vast starry sky and the bright moon, which seemed very close to me.
Before they even reached their vicinity, they saw two figures standing at the front gate from afar.
It was the Jin Hongda brothers.
Upon hearing that Li Bin had been robbed, Jin Hongda felt both sympathy and worry.
"Brother Gu, you're back. Did you go to the hospital?"
Gu Wei nodded: "Yes, that's right. You two have been here for quite a while?"
"We just arrived too." Jin Hongda quickly asked, "Brother Gu, how's Li Bin? Yingzi only gave half a story when she got home. How exactly did they rob him?"
Gu Wei repeated what he had said before.
Jin Hongda and Jin Hongfei both frowned upon hearing this.
It is said that two fists can't beat four hands; no matter how scheming someone is, it's really hard to defend against them.
Especially when it comes to selling watches, you have to sneak around to find a secluded, deserted place to make the transaction.
"Brother, how about I sell with you during the day from now on?"
Jin Hongda hesitated, worried that his younger brother would be too physically fit to run the shop at night and then come with him during the day.
She was also worried that Gu Wei might have some thoughts about it, since she was being paid by him.
Gu Wei saw Jin Hongda's concerns and immediately made the decision, saying, "I think it's a good idea. Safety first right now. What if those two get a taste of success and want to commit another crime? When we see Yuanzi, we'll talk to him about it too..."
Jin Hongda said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Gu."
Jin Hongfei quickly added, "Brother Gu, don't worry, I definitely won't delay your business. If we run into those two guys, I'll definitely hold them down!"
The next day.
The weather was perfect, with clear skies and sunshine.
Gu Wei goes to bed early at night and gets up early in the morning.
He had just finished washing up and was about to go for a walk to get some exercise.
Ke Yi came to my house...
