The day after returning from hunting.
Gu Qinghuan went to the commune specially to send a letter and three yuan to Gu Lanting.
There are also some mountain products, such as hazelnuts, pine nuts, hazel mushrooms, etc., which are easy to preserve.
I wanted to send him some small provisions at first, but considering that he was living at home now, and giving him cheap provisions would be a shame for those ungrateful people, I didn't send any.
At the same time, she also received a letter from her brother, who asked how they were and wished them a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and also returned RMB 530.
This was the first time that Gu Lanting had sent money. Before that, the most he had sent was some food that he had saved.
Before, the situation he and his original self were in at home could be described as treading on thin ice.
The woman was in charge of the household expenses. Although she would not deduct their living expenses openly, they did not get any extra money.
So where did he get the money?
If it was a small amount, she wouldn't be so worried, but it was exactly 5.53 yuan.
Gu Lanting is a sophomore in high school. Apart from living expenses, where does he get so much money?
But she had kept this a secret from Zhong Zijun. She was already in poor health, and it would be bad for her to continue to have wild thoughts.
So she immediately wrote a letter and sent it to her cousin Zhong Luoqing in Beijing, hoping that she could help check on Lanting's situation.
Sometimes I would send her some mountain products.
Faraway water cannot quench immediate thirst. This can only be done temporarily.
After returning home, she did not mention Lanting's request to send money, but only showed the letter to Zhong Zijun.
Xu Huaian went to the mountains in the morning to retrieve the traps he had dropped yesterday, and caught two pheasants and a wild rabbit.
He planned to give one pheasant to the Xu family and leave the rest at home.
If he didn't want to break up, he wouldn't want to give him this pheasant.
After cleaning up a pheasant and a hare from his own home, he asked Gu Qinghuan excitedly: "Huanhuan, shall we have rabbit meat tonight? I'll make the green pepper and rabbit cubes you made last time."
Gu Qinghuan did not respond.
He asked again before Gu Qinghuan responded, "Ah? Of course! Cut it up and marinate it first, and cook it in the evening."
"What's wrong with you? You look distracted?"
Gu Qinghuan didn't know why, but ever since she received the money from Gu Lanting, she had been thinking about this matter and couldn't concentrate.
After all, he is the original body's younger brother, so I have to take care of him.
Then she quietly told Xu Huai'an about this.
Both of them felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't explain why. They could only keep it a secret and wait for a reply from Sister Luo Gui.
In order to find out as soon as possible, she left in a hurry to get the letter from Zhong Luoxi, and she believed that she would receive it soon.
There is one more thing right now.
Then help Zhong Zijun get revenge.
Since they were all in the same boat, Gu Qinghuan did not hide it from Xu Huaian, because she really needed a reliable person to help her in order to accomplish her goals.
Xu Huaian knew that his mother-in-law was deliberately pushed down the hillside and seriously injured, and he hated the murderer in his heart.
"Don't worry, I don't want his life. I just want to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Since there are areas where the law cannot take care of things, I will take care of them myself." Gu Qinghuan knew that he had been a soldier, and was worried that he would think that what he did was wrong.
"Don't act rashly. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Let's first understand this person's situation and then make our plans.
Before taking action, you must first clear yourself out to avoid being passive.
I will help you.”
Xu Huaian's words made Gu Qinghuan feel inexplicably relieved.
The two began to plan.
The general plan was for Xu Huai'an to first find out his movements, and then create an accident so that he could also experience the feeling of rolling down the slope.
-
Xu Huaian brought a pheasant to hand in the task, which of course made Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang unhappy.
Before they could say anything, the brainless Xu Meiling stood up first.
"You don't want to take out the game hidden in your house?
I don't believe you can catch such a pheasant in just two days!
You used to be able to kill a wild boar, and you don't want to help me. What kind of brother are you? "
Xu Huaian was too lazy to bother with her and threw the pheasant down directly: "Do you want it or not? I don't owe you anything.
I earn the most money in the family, and I don't have a penny in my family, so I also have a share in your dowry. I have contributed money and effort, but if you are still not satisfied, then I can't do anything about it."
He deliberately said something to blackmail Xu Mingshan's wife. Logically, the family should have received the property, but because he was crazy at the time, he gave nothing.
Sure enough, these words made Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang hold back what they wanted to say.
They were afraid that Xu Huai'an would take the opportunity to ask them to pay out their money. Wouldn't that be like cutting off their flesh?
This guy, how could he become so cunning and deceptive in the future, not as useful and deceptive as before.
Xu Mingshan waved his hands and said, "A pheasant is not bad. It will be a bit fishy if we stew it in a big pot."
Xu Meiling was still nagging, "Dad, how can one pheasant feed so many people? It will be such a horrible feast! I don't care, we have to find a way to get some more meat."
Xu Huaian didn't even bother to pay attention to her and walked away in a swagger.
Xu Mingshan was furious. Who is this idiot following?
"Chen Jianghe didn't even give you a betrothal gift, and he treats you like a fool. Why are you still going through the trouble of preparing a banquet?" Xu Huaiyu opened the door and said sleepily.
Xu Meiling immediately jumped up and kicked Xu Huaiyu, and the brother and sister started fighting.
"I'm telling you the truth. With Chen Jianghe's attitude towards you, don't come back crying in the future." Xu Huaiyu said while hiding.
Men understand men best. To be fair, if he wanted to get rid of Chen Jianghe, he would probably want to tear Xu Meiling apart, so there is no way he would live a good life with her.
In the end, this marriage is only good for appearances, and Xu Meiling will definitely not live a comfortable life.
Everyone in the family knew about these things, but unfortunately Xu Meiling was the only one who turned a deaf ear to them and was still looking forward to a better life in the future.
Xu Mingshan was too lazy to look at the brother and sister, so he decided to avoid seeing them.
Liu Guifang herself was injured, so it was inconvenient for her to persuade them to fight.
Xu Meiling almost smeared Xu Huaiyu's face.
Finally, Xu Huaizhi came back from outside and stopped the two of them.
Xu Huaizhi brought back a bucket of fish, some big and some small. He had been trying to find a way to catch fish for his sister's banquet these past two days.
Although he still disapproved of the marriage, he still loved his sister in his heart.
Xu Meiling smiled a little after seeing the fish.
"Brother is still reliable!" With this fish, pheasant, and more than a pound of meat, the banquet is finally not so ugly.
Lin Xiaomeng was finishing her wedding gown in the room while sneering.
This girl has been completely abandoned by Liu Guifang. She can expect hard times ahead.
After all, this is the last time. After making this wedding dress, Xu Meiling will be married and she won't be able to go back to her parents' home to get extra money.
