Chapter 7 Aren’t You Afraid of Becoming a Father?
Gu Qingshi was surprised when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, as if it was ringing next to his ear.
Gu Qingshi's mind moved, and in the blink of an eye he found himself back in the cramped room.
Ignoring the knock on the door, Gu Qingshi kept thinking about where she had just gone. As she thought about it, she returned to the bamboo house.
After two tests, Gu Qingshi confirmed that this was a mysterious space, and the space was inside the jade bracelet.
Maybe it was the blood from last night that opened the jade bracelet, so she was able to go in.
There was no visible edge to the space, but except for the land near the bamboo house, the rest of the place was obscured by fog and could not be explored further.
The black soil looks good, but it is bare. There is a lake next to the bamboo forest, but there is nothing in the lake either.
The spring in front of the bamboo house looks very clear, and there is a bamboo ladle next to it, which looks like it can be drunk.
Gu Qingshi wanted to take a closer look, but there was another knock on the door, so she had no choice but to come out.
It was Duan Lingling who knocked on the door. She had been thinking about how to take revenge on Gu Qingshi all night.
"Gu Qingshi, don't think that my dad's words about not kicking you out are over. From today on, you are not allowed to eat a grain of rice, drink a sip of water, or touch anything in the house!"
Bai Zhen has been as virtuous as ever for more than ten years. She made breakfast early, but she hid in the kitchen and didn't come out. She didn't cook for Gu Qingshi either.
Gu Qingshi looked at the kitchen and sneered, "Another inferior method, can't you be a little more creative?"
In the past, whenever Duan Lingling and Duan Renjie made him unhappy, they would punish her by not allowing her to eat or drink, and would lock her up or lock her up somewhere.
She was locked up like that again and again. She developed stomach problems at a young age and was so thin that she would even chew on the door when she was hungry.
Bai Zhen had countless opportunities to bring her water and food, but she never did. She just cried in front of her and asked her to be obedient.
When she was a child, she was scared to death of such threats, and in order to survive, she had no choice but to compromise, but now she is no longer afraid.
Because she has grown up.
Gu Qingshi was thinking about space in his mind and just walked away with his schoolbag on his back.
After leaving Duan's house, he touched his empty stomach and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He was so hungry.
I haven't eaten well for two days, but now I'm penniless and my pockets are cleaner than my face.
She still has space. But now there is nothing in the space except water.
But it is impossible to ask her to go back and bow her head, so we have to think of a way.
Gu Qingshi was thinking as he walked, and after a while he saw the old neighbor lady who was limping and struggling to pull the cart.
The old lady has difficulty walking and lives alone. Her son and daughter-in-law both work in the factory. Gu Qingshi has helped her a lot in the past.
"Grandma." Gu Qingshi hurried forward to help her push the cart.
"Qingshi, you go and do your work, I'll just pull it slowly." The old lady waved her hand.
"It's okay." Gu Qingshi helped push the old lady all the way to the county town.
The old lady’s family contracted a fish pond to raise fish. Every day, she would catch fish and send them to restaurants in the county town.
After sending them off, Gu Qingshi said goodbye and was about to find a job to make a living, but he was stopped by the old lady and asked to give him money.
"No need, grandma."
"I can't let you help for nothing." The old lady insisted.
Gu Qingshi thought for a moment and said, "Then grandma, please buy me a steamed bun. I just haven't eaten yet."
The old lady knew it as soon as she heard it, "The Duan family won't let you eat again?"
"Well, they said I won't be allowed to eat anymore. I was just trying to find something to do."
"The Duan family has a dark conscience, and so does your mother."
The old lady lived behind the Duan family, and she saw most clearly how Gu Qingshi lived in the Duan family.
I remember when she first came, Gu Qingshi had a fair and tender face and wore beautiful clothes. She was so pretty that you could tell at a glance that she was spoiled at home.
Bai Zhen remarried into the Duan family. With a stepfather, she also had a stepmother. They watched her become thinner day by day, and go hungry one day and full the next.
The new clothes on her body were put on Duan Lingling, and she never had enough food or warm clothes since then. She was the same as having a mother or not, even more pitiful than having no mother.
Everyone praised Bai Zhen for being kind and a good stepmother, but she felt that Bai Zhen was the most evil-hearted and was so cruel even to her own children.
I just feel sorry for this child, we have to help her.
The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up as she thought about it. "By the way, Qingshi, do you want to help out in Lao Liang's restaurant? It doesn't cost much, but you can get food."
It turned out that the owner of the restaurant, Mr. Liang, who had just delivered the fish, had a grandson, and the proprietress went out to take care of her daughter-in-law after the baby was born, so Mr. Liang was the only one left in the restaurant.
Lao Liang's sister agreed to help wash the dishes and vegetables, but she and Lao Liang didn't know how to count money.
The brother and sister had never been to school, could not read, and had no idea how to count money, so they wanted to find someone to help them collect and change money, serve food and tea, and help clear and wash the dishes when they were too busy.
The most important thing is that he has to be a good person and trustworthy. After hearing this, the old lady carefully recommended Gu Qingshi.
This was exactly what Gu Qingshi wanted. She was planning to do business in the future, but she didn't have the conditions now. So she might as well work in a restaurant for a while to solve the urgent problem of food.
It was a good opportunity for her to study that space as well. She wanted to see if it could be used for farming and try growing vegetables first.
You can ask grandma for some vegetable seeds, but you still have to buy some of them, and you also have to buy the tools for growing vegetables.
Lao Liang was willing to believe the old lady, so he agreed to let Gu Qingshi give it a try first.
Gu Qingshi just stayed like this and finally had his meal.
For the next three days, Gu Qingshi went out early and came back late, and was not seen for the whole day.
Duan Lingling was waiting for her to admit defeat but she didn't come. She thought she had gone to Qin's house, but she didn't see Gu Qingshi when she went to Qin's house or the hospital.
Having been intimidated by Gu Qingshi's use of the fruit knife last time, she didn't dare to cause trouble again.
Gu Qingshi didn't have the energy to take care of them. The work in the restaurant was not hard. Her main energy was focused on the space. She had already planted the cabbage seeds she asked the old lady for. Later, Gu Qingshi tried to drink the spring water.
The spring water is sweet and delicious. It is the best water Gu Qingshi has ever tasted in his two lifetimes.
After drinking it, I felt better all over, but then I started to have diarrhea and was sweating all the time. The sweat was black and smelly.
But every time I go to the toilet, I feel relaxed all over, even when I sweat.
Gu Qingshi guessed that the spring water might have a detoxifying effect.
The spring water is magical, and the cabbages planted grow very fast. If you plant the vegetables the night before, you can harvest them the next day.
Gu Qingshi was full of energy. After get off work, he couldn't wait to go back to the space to pick vegetables. As a result, he met his mother and son neighbors on the way.
When the son looked at Gu Qing for a few more seconds, his mother grabbed his ears.
"What are you looking at? Didn't you hear about her? And you still dare to look? Aren't you afraid of becoming a father?" Her voice was not concealed at all, and she looked Gu Qingshi up and down with a squint as she spoke.
She didn't need to look to know that Duan Lingling was saying bad things about her behind her back again.
Gu Qingshi's face darkened instantly. She recognized that this woman was one of the most gossipy people in the neighborhood, a loyal spreader of rumors about Duan Lingling, and she often said bad things about her.
