"So fast?"
From his grandfather's cheerful tone, Gu Wei guessed that it must be a letter from Qin Zhiman.
He was somewhat surprised, because it seemed like the package had only been mailed a short time ago.
"You silly child, why can't you hurry up? So many people wish the letter would arrive as soon as it's sent! Actually, it was delivered to the shop a long time ago, but I saw that your curtains were drawn and you seemed not to be awake yet, so I didn't deliver it over."
The faster the reply, the more it proved that he cared about Gu Wei, and Gu Jianguo was overjoyed.
Gu Wei laughed and reached out to take the letter.
Gu Jianguo didn't immediately turn back. Instead, he ran his fingers through his hair, sighed softly, and said, "Last night's events were quite upsetting. Your great-aunt is even a little embarrassed to face you, it seems like it's because of her relatives who have repeatedly..."
Gu Wei quickly comforted her, "Grandpa, they're all family, no need to worry so much. Besides, it wasn't my great-grandmother's choice to have these relatives. Every family has a few difficult ones, I understand. Please talk to my great-grandmother and tell her not to take it to heart. And you, Grandpa, you should too..."
We've all lived together for so long.
Gu Jianguo actually understood Gu Wei's character; he knew that the boy was kind and righteous, and treated them wholeheartedly as family.
But the better you treat them, the less they should cause you trouble.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?
"Gu Wei, you should still go out tomorrow. Don't let these messy things of ours interfere with your important business! Don't worry about things at home. If they continue to cause trouble shamelessly, I definitely won't tolerate it. And then there's Da Fei and the others... Otherwise, your great-grandmother and I would feel too bad and embarrassed to work for you here!"
Gu Wei understood that if he didn't agree, his grandparents would feel even worse and more worried, which would be counterproductive.
"Okay, then I'll go out tomorrow."
Gu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you go eat, I'm going to the shop."
Gu Wei didn't open the envelope until after he finished eating.
Qin Zhiman's letter contained two more pages than the one she wrote last time.
The paper also had a floral scent.
Qin Zhiman particularly liked the things Gu Wei mailed; the words were filled with joy and happiness.
She also talked a lot about her own situation.
For example, they like literature and poetry, they like autumn, and so on.
They also asked about his hobbies.
After reading the letter, Gu Wei put it aside.
There was no rush to reply.
He still believes in love and longs to be in a relationship.
But I'd rather find a girlfriend I can see and touch, someone I can hug and even make love to.
Furthermore, unlike today, dating in the 1980s without the intention of marriage was considered immoral, which could result in anything from a moral issue to imprisonment and being forced to eat peanuts.
So let's communicate as friends or pen pals for now.
As for what will happen in the future, let time and fate decide.
Later that evening, Jin Hongda and Jin Hongfei came to my house together.
The two didn't come empty-handed; they also brought mushrooms and wild fruits that their families had picked.
Gu Wei put the money away and gave Jin Hongda another thirty watches.
Afterwards, he gave Jin Hongfei a private talk, asking him to take care of things at home after he left.
Jin Hongfei knew all too well what had happened last night.
Looking back, I realize I was a bit too impulsive.
"Brother Gu, should I not reveal the self-inflicted injury plot? Later, I saw that even the young mistress..."
Gu Wei patted Jin Hongfei on the shoulder, "It's alright, there's no harm in speaking out. If you don't say anything, what if your young mistress softens her heart and those people get away with it?"
"Yes, yes, we can't let those people succeed in their scheme."
Jin Hongfei had complete faith in Gu Wei, and felt that it really made sense. After all, Gu Wei was Li Guizhi's own brother; blood was thicker than water, wasn't it...?
at the same time.
Li Guizhi's brother, Li Guilong, was lying shirtless on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
Guan Xiaolan vigorously rubbed safflower oil into his skin.
He groaned intermittently from the pain, his forehead veins bulging and covered in sweat.
Guan Xiaolan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she increased the force in her hand as if to vent her anger.
"How could it not hurt you to death! Last night I was thinking we couldn't just let this go like this. We got beaten up and we can't just let it go for nothing! Even if you don't pay our medical bills, you have to give us an explanation!"
Li Guilong cried out in pain and sat up abruptly.
"You old woman, are you taking your anger out on me? You used so much force!"
Guan Xiaolan put one hand on her hip and said, "Yes! I did it on purpose! What a great opportunity, and you stupidly missed it! Will it even be of any use if we try to find another one later?"
Li Guilong wiped the sweat from his face with his forearm, and while no one was around at the Yuan family's house, he spat on the ground.
"You're all talk and no action! If you don't leave now and still want money, believe me, Gu Jianguo and that kid might pay up and beat me even harder, right? Didn't you hear what Auntie and the others said? Their shop is packed with customers, they're making a fortune!"
We were foolish to listen to Zhang Chunqin's nonsense, otherwise we wouldn't have made such a fool of ourselves!
Guan Xiaolan took his words to heart and was filled with regret: "It's all the fault of the people in that shop. Who would have thought that they would overhear our whispered conversation and then blabber on it to them!"
"Alright, he deserved it. We'll find another opportunity later." Li Guilong's beating wasn't for nothing; he finally understood that the young man truly took Gu Jianguo and his group seriously...
Regarding Gu Wei's departure, not only Gu Jianguo and Li Guizhi, but even Gu Hongjie was not so reluctant to let him go.
