Previously, Yuan Decai had also begun to have some doubts about Gu Jianguo and his group.
But after hearing the second half of what Zhang Chunqin said, he absolutely refused to believe it.
Because he knows what kind of person his wife is.
"Are you an old woman deliberately stirring up trouble here because you think they're not as badly off as you estimated, but actually doing better?"
Having her little scheme exposed, Zhang Chunqin felt a moment of guilt, then shouted, "What did I provoke? So you took that beating for nothing? Someone has to pay for your medical treatment and lost work time, right?"
"Anyway, I see they've managed to get close to some rich relatives. Not only are they dressed impeccably, but they also eat and drink the finest food. They can definitely scrape together that kind of money..."
"Are you stupid? They didn't do it, yet you insist on pinning the blame on them. In the end, you'll get nothing and might even cause trouble for yourself." Yuan Decai got agitated and pulled at his injured lip, letting out a hissing cry of pain.
After being scolded, Zhang Chunqin belatedly realized that it wouldn't be easy to extort money from them, but she was extremely unwilling to give up. She stubbornly said, "Maybe they hired someone to do it? Gu Jianguo and his wife are dirt poor, but their relatives are rich! After all, it's only natural that they would hold a grudge and retaliate after we let their landlord kick us out."
Yuan Decai, having recovered and feeling less pain, finally spoke: "Come on, that's enough already. It's been so many days since the move, and you're already acting up? But where did this relative come from? Gu Jianguo's family shouldn't have any capable people! Otherwise, they wouldn't be stuck in the countryside unable to return to the city."
Zhang Chunqin pouted: "Who knows! Anyway, he must be a relative of theirs. He looks so much like that little brat. By the way, I heard him call Gu Jianguo 'Grandpa Gu,' is he a relative from his family in Guanli?"
"It should be." Yuan Decai was extremely regretful and complained, "Oh, it's all your fault! If I had known this relative was so rich, I shouldn't have done things the way I did before! Otherwise, wouldn't I have been able to benefit from it too?!"
"Are you starting to blame me now?" Zhang Chunqin retorted, "This is your relative, and from beginning to end, it's all up to you..."
The couple started arguing in the hospital room.
This later drew a loud rebuke from the nurse.
...
On the other side, after Gu Jianguo returned to the room opposite, Gu Wei called Gu Hongjie in.
He had promised a reward if he did well on the exam, and of course he would keep his word.
In fact, Gu Wei put a lot of thought into choosing the gift.
Watches and bicycles are considered big-ticket items, and Grandpa and the others definitely wouldn't agree to them.
It seems that the block game console was just completed overseas last month, and it will be available for sale in China a few years later.
The toy cars and airplanes are so well-made that compared to the tin frogs that kids play with now, they look like products from many years ago.
Gu Wei ended up buying a military green retro-style backpack online.
I also bought dozens of comic books at a bookstore in the city.
It includes works such as *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, *Dream of the Red Chamber*, *Water Margin*, *The Generals of the Yang Family*, *Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties*, *The Scholars*, *The Legend of Ji Gong*, *Journey to the West*, *Railway Guerrilla*, *Crossing the River to Reconnoiter*, *Chicken Feather Letter*, and *Seven Swordsmen of Mount Tian*.
"Here, this is your reward for getting first place."
"You've really prepared this? But will my parents let me have it?" Gu Hongjie asked, both surprised and worried.
"Why can't I accept it? It's just a backpack. I'll talk to them about it later."
Gu Hongjie was immediately relieved and thanked him repeatedly.
Then, his eyes burned as he stared intently at the bulging backpack that seemed to be packed with things. "What else is inside?"
Gu Wei kept him in suspense for a moment, then handed it to him directly: "Open it and see for yourself."
Gu Hongjie hesitated for a moment before nervously and expectantly taking the schoolbag.
The weight he received sparked a series of speculations in his mind.
When Gu Hongjie saw so many comic books inside, including the Seven Swordsmen of Mount Tian, which he had always wanted to read but couldn't borrow, he was overjoyed!
She danced with joy and hugged Gu Wei tightly, exclaiming, "How can you be so good to me! I'm so happy!"
If he weren't so short, Gu Hongjie might have kissed him on the cheek.
Gu Wei was delighted that the reward was exactly what he wanted, and ruffled his hair, saying, "As long as you do well on your exams in the future, you'll definitely get plenty of rewards."
Gu Hongjie said confidently, "Then I will definitely get first place every time!"
Gu Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I hope you can keep your word!"
After that, Gu Hongjie devoured the comic book, unwilling to put it down for even a moment.
Even when Gu Wei went to the photo studio to pick up the photos that had been printed at an extra cost, he didn't follow him around like a little tail as usual.
Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi felt helpless, bitter, and guilty at the same time about their son's behavior.
Children from poor families learn to be independent early.
Because of their incompetence as parents, they suppressed the child's natural instincts and forced them to become sensible and mature at an age when the child should have been carefree.
Fortunately, Gu Wei appeared out of nowhere.
It changed the fate of the whole family.
After dinner, Jin Hongda came to our house.
Gu Wei thought that he didn't know that Zhao Zhengying had gone up the mountain, so he came to look for him.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that Zhao Zhengying had sent a letter home.
Jin Hongda encountered a family with old items while he was out running around today.
“Brother Gu, I was worried you wouldn’t be home if you left early tomorrow, so I came over quickly. This family owns more than one property; their ancestors were probably high-ranking officials or very wealthy…”
"Really? Then I'll go with you to take a look when I have some free time."
Gu Wei was getting a bit addicted to finding bargains, and when he heard there were more good things to be had, he naturally didn't want to miss out.
