Chapter 20 You Dare to Covet My Things
Even her biological mother Bai Zhong had forgotten her, but her uncle always remembered to look for her.
Once he had the money, he posted a missing person notice in newspapers and magazines, and asked his cousins to remember that if he was missing, they had to find Gu Qingshi, otherwise he would not be able to face his brother-in-law.
Because her uncle kept looking for her, he angered Duan Lingling who pretended to be her. Fearing that his identity would be exposed, he was forced to leave his hometown by Duan Lingling.
Uncle was Gu Qingshi’s only warm support in her previous life and also her closest relative.
Gu Qingshi simply told Bai Zhong about the matter. Bai Zhong was so angry that his face turned blue. "Your mother is getting more and more confused and brainless. That was the marriage arranged by my brother-in-law. It was the Gu family's marriage. What right did she have to change it? She even kicked you out. I'm going to their house right now to have a good talk with them."
"Uncle, don't be angry. I told you this because I didn't want to hide it from you. I wanted you to know the truth. But there's no need to be angry with them."
Gu Qingshi tried to comfort her, "I'm fine now. I have planned my future well. Helping in the restaurant is just a temporary solution. I don't want to do it now. I just want to do business."
Gu Qingshi diverted his uncle's attention, "Uncle, now everyone's life is getting better and better, more and more people are doing business, I also want to seize this opportunity, open a shop to do business and make money in the future, now I plan to set up a stall to sell things."
During this period, there were very few people who dared to be the first batch of people to go into business and those who were "unpromising" enough to set up stalls.
Gu Qingshi also had to seize the opportunity to make money. She would do it even if there was no space, not to mention that she now had space.
"Set up a stall? What do you want to sell?"
"Let's sell food first." She can grow delicious vegetables in her space. "People need food, clothing, shelter and transportation. I want to start with food. Uncle, I have saved money and things I need by helping out in the restaurant."
Bai Zhong thought that if she could get a job soon, wouldn't it be nice for her to be a respected and decent nurse?
But looking at Gu Qingshi's sparkling eyes, he couldn't say anything against it. "Okay, then do it."
Gu Qingshi was moved by what he heard. He nodded and asked with concern, "Uncle, are you okay?"
"Okay, I'm fine."
"That's good. I missed you so much." Gu Qingshi said with tears in her eyes. She kept thanking God in her heart for allowing her to go back to the time when the tragedy had not happened and when her uncle was still alive.
"I'm thinking about you, too." Bai Zhong felt a little embarrassed. He was not used to saying such blunt and corny words, but he still endured the discomfort and responded.
"I was thinking of going to come find you after I close the restaurant." She was thinking of bringing food and water to her uncle to keep him healthy. Her uncle had worked hard all his life and was sick all his life. He needed to eat well to recuperate.
This would also prevent him from ruining his health and dying early like in his previous life.
"Uncle, I'll give you some food later, and some spring water. It's good for your health."
"We grow everything at home every day, so why do we need you to give it to me?" After Bai Zhong said that, he directly gave Gu Qingshi a bag of things.
"The corn that I planted early is ripe. I remember you like to eat roasted corn, so I brought you some while it's still tender. You can go back and roast it and eat it. I brought a lot, so even if the Duan family snatches it away, you can still have a few."
Bai Zhong had good intentions, and Gu Qingshi felt sad when he heard it.
The county town is surrounded by fields. Many people in the county, especially those living near the town, such as those living near Duan's house, still make a living by farming, and some even grow corn.
It’s not that Gu Qingshi couldn’t eat the corn, but Bai Zhong was eager to carry it all the way up to her.
"I will eat it well, and I won't give them any kernels of corn. I will eat it all."
What she said was true, but Bai Zhong knew that it was impossible not to give the Duan family some food, so he just thought she was coaxing him, so he coaxed her and said, "Okay, okay, I won't give them any."
Bai Zhong was so happy that he asked, "Did you eat the sausages that were served to you earlier? And did you eat the pig ears and pig tongues?"
Gu Qingshi paused and said, "Sausages."
"Yes, don't you like to eat?" Bai Zhong rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, "There's nothing good at home. When it gets cold, I'll kill the pig and send it to you."
Gu Qingshi's eyes slowly changed. She stabilized her expression and asked a few more questions, only to find out that her uncle gave her gifts every year.
Because she loved eating sausages, they would use the best meat after slaughtering the pig every year to make sausages. They couldn't bear to eat them themselves, so they basically gave them to Gu Qingshi.
In addition to sausages, there are pig ears, pig tongues, and eggs.
Every time Bai Zhong came to see her, his hands were never empty. He took the most eggs because he raised chickens at home.
They were reluctant to sell it for money, so they wanted to nourish their niece who was getting thinner and thinner, so they gave it to her for more than ten years.
Because Bai Zhen always obstructed him, he seldom had the chance to see Gu Qingshi. Even when he did, they couldn't talk much with Bai Zhen watching, so Gu Qingshi never knew about this.
Bai Zhong thought that Bai Zhen would at most let the Duan family eat together, but Gu Qingshi would always be able to eat it, so he didn't mention it much.
He didn't expect that Bai Zhen would do something even more ruthless. They saved money and gave the food they didn't want to eat to Gu Qingshi, and Gu Qingshi never got to eat it.
If it hadn't been brought up today, she might have been kept in the dark her whole life and never known about this.
Her heart was full of love, but it was all betrayed. It was as absurd as her previous life.
Gu Qingshi looked at Bai Zhong who knew nothing about it and tried hard to hold back his emotions so as not to lose control and cry.
Bai Zhong knew nothing. When he unexpectedly met Gu Qing, he was already very happy to be able to talk so much.
When he looked at Gu Qingshi, he saw that his face had turned pale again and his complexion had improved. He couldn't bear to blink.
".Don't save money, eat well. You are better now than before, but you are still thin. You need to eat more."
"Okay." Gu Qingshi sent his uncle back, his eyes were hot, but his hands were clenched into fists.
After seeing his uncle off, Gu Qingshi put the corn into the space and returned to the Duan family with murderous intent.
Bai Zhen was the only one at the Duan family. She was surprised to see Gu Qing, "Why are you back?"
Before, Gu Qingshi always went out early and came back late. Bai Zhen was angry that she was disobedient, so she insisted on washing the dishes and never cared about her again.
When Bai Zhen saw Gu Qing for the first time in the daytime, he frowned at her face and asked, "Why is your face so pale?"
"Where are the things my uncle sent?" Gu Qingshi interrupted Bai Zhen and asked directly.
Bai Zhen's eyes flashed with guilt, "What are you talking about? Your uncle sent you something."
"I met him today and he told me that he had been sending me sausages, meat and eggs for more than ten years, but I had never eaten them."
Bai Zhen's face changed and he took a few steps back. Gu Qingshi pressed on, "Where are the sausages my uncle gave me?"
Bai Zhen gritted his teeth, "Where else could it be? I ate it all. He didn't send much."
"Not much? You have the nerve to say you didn't send much? What's considered a lot? Did you send a whole pig?"
Gu Qingshi's eyes turned red. "Don't you know what conditions your uncle's family has? Why don't you send something back to your uncle's family? Do you still have the nerve to complain about the small amount he sent?"
