Chapter 83 Don’t you want us anymore?



She knew that Oda would arrive at the hospital in half an hour.

That way, Gu Juncheng will have someone to take care of him.

Xiaotian said that he would take care of Captain Gu until he was discharged from the hospital.

Xiaotian is a very good kid. She feels relieved to have him by Gu Juncheng's side.

As for her, she was already queuing up at the ticket window in a long queue at the train station, rushing back as fast as she could.

Fortunately, she waited for someone else's ticket to be refunded, successfully boarded the return train, and arrived back to Gujia Village the next afternoon.

The whole family was delighted at her sudden return home.

The mother-in-law wanted to kill a chicken immediately. Zhiyuan, who had been taking Xiaomai out to play, immediately ran back in a hurry, holding a handful of wild fruits from the mountains in his hand, wanting to give them to her.

Lin Qingping looked at the fruit in Zhiyuan's small hands, and her eyes felt a little hot.

"Aunt, it's delicious, not sour." Zhiyuan thought she was afraid of sour food.

Xiaomai also nodded at the side, "Aunt, it's really not sour."

Zhiyuan picked up one and fed it to her.

The small handful of fruit was held warm in his hand, and when he put it in her mouth, it still had the warmth of his palm.

Lin Qingping ate it and her eyes finally became moist.

"What's wrong, aunt? Are you jealous?" Zhiyuan felt panicked as if he had done something wrong.

"No, it's very sweet! Auntie...just came back from the provincial capital, and was tired after sitting on the train for too long." Lin Qingping hugged Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan nodded. He had also taken a train to the provincial capital and he knew that it was very tiring.

"Auntie, please take a rest. I have finished my homework." Zhiyuan said obediently.

Lin Qingping felt increasingly uncomfortable...

"I'm fine, silly child." Instead of resting, she went out to stop her mother-in-law Liu Fen from killing the chicken.

The mother-in-law grabbed the chicken in her hand and was very surprised when she heard her words, "You have to go back to the factory so late?"

"Yeah..." Lin Qingping took the chicken from her mother-in-law and let it go.

If a person wants to leave, he won't even let go of his chickens...

These chickens were bought by her and Zhiyuan together. Zhiyuan fed them every day and raised them up.

The mother-in-law sighed, "You are so busy now, I don't know if it is worth it to earn so much money..."

People at this time have not experienced the era of market economy, and do not know what the future will be like, let alone how much a house will cost.

Lin Qingping felt sad.

Since she married into the Gu family, her mother-in-law has been very tolerant of her. Even if this tolerance is only for Gu Juncheng's sake, she is very grateful, especially considering how good she was to her in her previous life. After all, she was a troublemaker in her previous life, causing chaos in the Gu family...

"Mom, come in, I have something to tell you."

She pulled Liu Fen into the room and took out a passbook from her cloth bag, which contained half of her savings.

She handed the folded paper to Liu Fen and said, "Mom, I made some money in the past few months. Take these. I will write down the password for you later. You must keep it safe and don't give it to others, or they will find it."

Liu Fen had never had a passbook in her life, so she couldn't understand this thing, let alone know how much money was in it.

"Mom, with this and the password, you can go to the county bank and withdraw money." Lin Qingping taught her step by step how to withdraw money.

Liu Fen frowned, pushed the passbook back and returned it to her. "This is your own money, you keep it for yourself, why are you giving it to me? I'm a country woman, I don't know anything, if you lose it later, I don't want it."

Lin Qingping smiled, feeling very sad, "Then you just wait for Juncheng to come back and give it to him."

Afraid that my mother-in-law would still not accept it, I had to say, "It's inconvenient for me to carry so much money with me when I'm alone. I worry about it being stolen every day."

Liu Fen thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so she accepted the letter but still said, "Then leave it here with me first. I'll lock it up. When you and Juncheng need it, come and get it from me."

"Yeah!" Lin Qingping nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

So, it’s paid off, right?

Gu Juncheng, do I not owe you anything anymore?

"Mother..." Lin Qingping stared at Liu Fen's kind face and choked up.

"Hey!" Liu Fen looked at her, waiting for her to say the next words.

Lin Qingping held back her tears and said, "Thank you, Mom."

Thank you for treating such a miserable me as a family member.

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with you? Pingzi?" Liu Fen stared at her and found that something was wrong with her.

Lin Qingping quickly shook her head, "No, mother, I want to say thank you for taking in my second sister."

"Silly child! We are all relatives, why are you saying this?" Liu Fen said with a smile, "Pingzi, do you really need to go back to the factory today? Or why not leave tomorrow morning?"

"No, Mom. I have to go to the factory tomorrow morning. It's very important." Since she was leaving, she didn't want to delay any longer. From now on, she would not be a member of Gu's family. The longer she stayed, the more reluctant she would be to leave.

The mother-in-law made a decision immediately, "Then you should pack up quickly and leave early. Don't wait until dark, it's not safe."

"Well, okay." Lin Qingping choked, "Mom, this time, I want to take my second sister with me."

"What's wrong?" the mother-in-law asked in surprise, "Don't you want her to go to college? Is she going to work in the factory?"

"I found a teacher in the county town to give her some intensive lessons." Lin Qingping lied.

"That's fine! The teachers in the county town are definitely better than those in our village. I'll feel more at ease if you two have a companion on the road." With that, the mother-in-law went to the kitchen to pack things for Lin Qingping.

After Lin Qingping returned to her room, she told her second sister her idea and asked her to go to the factory with her, since the exam would be taken in the county anyway.

Lin Qingyun didn't doubt it at all. He just followed what his sister said and started packing up.

There is only one Zhiyuan. Lin Qingping didn't know what to say when faced with his eyes which were still unusually innocent and clear.

"Zhiyuan..." She squatted on the ground, holding Zhiyuan's thin shoulders with both hands, not daring to look the child in the eye.

Zhiyuan tilted his head and looked at her, not knowing what she was going to say.

Lin Qingping suppressed the bitterness in her heart and tried to smile, "Zhiyuan, you must listen to Uncle Gu and your grandparents in the future. Remember, you must study hard, okay? You must go to college and become an educated and cultured person."

Zhiyuan's expression suddenly changed, "Aunt, don't you want us anymore?"

"How...how could it be..." Lin Qingping was caught off guard by the child's words. Why is this child so sensitive?

Zhiyuan's eyes turned red. "My...my mother told me this when she passed away. She told me to listen...to my father..."

Mom and Dad are two people Zhiyuan never mentions.

When I mention this now, I open my mouth and am about to cry.

"Zhiyuan..." Lin Qingping hugged Zhiyuan in her arms, holding his small body, and tried hard to control her tears, but failed. Her tears still slid down silently and dripped onto the child's clothes.
