It was not difficult to find Gu Dagang. The next day, Tian Yuzhu asked Zhang Zimei to take care of the two babies.
She went to the People's Canteen by herself. As long as she found Xiaoling, she would know where Gu Dagang's house was.
Zhang Xiaoling happily ran out when her colleague called out, "Sister Yuzhu, I haven't seen you in a long time. Are you busy lately?"
"Is everything okay? Xiaoling, what's wrong with you?"
Although the little girl still had a smile on her face, it was obvious that she had lost a lot of weight and looked a little haggard.
"Xiaoling, did something happen at home? If there is anything, tell your sister. I will definitely help you if I can." Seeing her like this, Tian Yuzhu was very worried.
Xiaoling shook her head and said, "Everything is fine at home. It's still the same."
"Then why have you lost weight? Are you feeling unwell?"
"no……"
"you……"
Tian Yuzhu was stunned for a moment: "Xiaoling, you are not torturing yourself like this because Shi Laosan didn't agree to your relationship, right?"
This time Zhang Xiaoling did not deny it, but she did not nod either.
She just lowered her eyelids in silence. Seeing her pitiful look, Tian Yuzhu felt a pang of sadness in her heart: "Oh, silly girl, what do you like about him? You have never been together, and you don't even understand his temper or personality. Why do you do this?"
But no matter what she said, Tian Yuzhu also knew that feelings were inherently confusing.
You don’t need too many reasons to like someone. Maybe it’s really fate. You just like him and you like him no matter how you look at him.
She sighed, "Well, I'll tell you a piece of news, but I don't know if it's good or bad for you. The third brother will be here during the Chinese New Year, so why don't you two meet and talk? Maybe after a few more words, you won't like him anymore!"
"Really, sister, is it true?" Zhang Xiaoling immediately raised her head and grabbed Tian Yuzhu's arm excitedly.
Tian Yuzhu nodded and said, "When have I ever lied to you? You should be mentally prepared. The third brother is a stubborn person. He is a stick in his throat. Once he makes a decision, he will not change it."
"Besides, you know that the conditions between your two families are not met. You can't marry far away, and he can't come to your house. These are very realistic problems. Don't think that there will be hope just by meeting him. That's probably impossible. Do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaoling nodded sensibly: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't hold out too much hope. I'll be happy if I can just chat with him for a few minutes and let him tell me what's on his mind!"
"What a silly girl."
Tian Yuzhu shook her head and sighed.
After comforting Zhang Xiaoling for a few more words, she told her the purpose of her visit.
Zhang Xiaoling said she knew where Gu Dagang's house was and went directly to look for him.
Tian Yuzhu felt that it was not a good idea: "Let's go to his workplace and look for him!"
Zhang Xiaoling shook her head. "Sister, you don't know. Since the new policy came out, the guesthouse no longer needs the position of purchasing clerk. I heard that Gu Dagang has been transferred to the logistics and cleaning department. He cleans the rooms in the morning and usually rests at home in the afternoon."
There is no other way but to look for it at home.
I didn't expect there would be such job changes in the guesthouse. I guess it's because some small private restaurants have opened up, so the guesthouse doesn't need to provide dine-in meals to the guests every day.
However, purchasing agent used to be a lucrative job, but now it has become a logistics job, so the salary is probably reduced a lot.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoling also heard about this gossip. She told Tian Yuzhu: "I heard that the salary was directly cut in half."
That would be terrible. I have two kids to raise at home!
The two of them were talking as they walked, and when they arrived at the bottom of Gu Dagang's dilapidated apartment building, they heard a heart-wrenching quarrel coming from inside the building.
From time to time, people would throw things out of the window, such as broken benches, rags and the like.
Hearing the woman's screams, Tian Yuzhu thought there was a psychopath living here.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoling said, "Oh, that can't be Brother Dagang's house?"
The auntie who was watching the excitement nearby immediately chimed in: "Yes, it's Gu Dagang's house. Did you see that? He's fighting with his wife."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaoling was surprised: "Gu Dagang's wife is so powerful?"
"It's really serious. Ever since Dagang stopped working as a buyer, his wife has been fighting with him every other day. She calls him a loser and tells him to go out and make money."
"That's right, Dagang is very pitiful."
"Hey, little girl, are you relatives of their family?"
The aunties gossiped for a while before they remembered to ask where the two of them came from.
Zhang Xiaoling said, "Yes, we are his relatives. Brother Gu is my cousin. But we don't dare to go up to him like this. Can any auntie go and call him for us?"
The aunties looked at each other in confusion, and no one dared to go.
"Girls, you should come another day. Dagang's wife is in a rage, don't let the fire get to you."
"That's right, her wife never stops cursing at people, it's really scary."
Zhang Xiaoling frowned and asked, "What should I do, sister?"
"Then let's come back another day!" Tian Yuzhu thought that she didn't want to get involved in this mess.
I came here to look for someone, but for no reason I got scolded by the other person's wife. There was no need for that.
She took Zhang Xiaoling's hand, and the two of them turned and walked out of the community.
Zhang Xiaoling complained as she walked, "When my sister was with him, he came back for the sake of their child and remarried his ex-wife. I wonder if he regrets it now. Compared to my sister, such a woman is simply worlds apart. My sister's cultural accomplishment is something he, as his wife, will never be able to achieve."
"Of course not." Tian Yuzhu said calmly, "It's no use for him to regret it now. It's too late."
Such a man has weak willpower. He could have tried a different approach, such as taking the child to raise him by himself, but there is no need to insist on remarrying.
He knew exactly what kind of person his ex-wife was, but after remarrying her, she gave him a miserable life that he would never be able to escape.
Just as the two of them walked out of the community gate, a figure stumbled past them.
Gu Dagang finally couldn't stand the tigress at home anymore, so he opened the door and rushed out.
He had to go to the street to get some fresh air, otherwise he would suffocate to death.
I didn't expect that I almost hit someone.
Zhang Xiaoling and Tian Yuzhu took a look and realized, isn’t this Gu Dagang?
"Brother Gu, Brother Gu." Zhang Xiaoling shouted quickly.
Gu Dagang's head was buzzing with the noise of his wife at home. He seemed to be unconscious, and when he heard someone calling him, it was like a dream.
He stopped in a daze and paused for several seconds before he could see who the other person was.
"Xiaoling, Comrade Tian Yuzhu, why are you two here?"
