Gu Rong remained silent and did not respond.
His eyes were dark and unclear, just like the dark night that was unpredictable.
Pei Tiantian noticed that Gu Rong was in a bad mood.
Maybe the villain was feeling upset because he just saw Zhang Guifen and recalled the unpleasant things that happened in the past.
Pei Tiantian's small hand held Gu Rong's hand even tighter, and her soft little body almost rested on his right arm. She whispered to him, "Brother Gu Rong, don't be sad. Have you forgotten what my grandma said? You will be a member of our Pei family in the future. My grandma is your grandma, and my uncle is your uncle. You have more relatives now. Let's forget about those who treated you badly in the past, okay?"
There were twinkling smiles in the little girl's grape-like eyes, and the small fleshy hand holding his right hand felt warm to the touch and could not be ignored.
How could this world be just a novel?
Obviously these people really exist.
Gu Rong closed his eyes.
No matter what, his future is in his own hands, not in the so-called plot setting.
After figuring this out, Gu Rong's coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated. He slowly curled up the corners of his mouth and nodded imperceptibly.
As Tao Jing was walking, she noticed that the two children next to her were holding hands, their shoulders touching, looking so intimate.
A hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
Gu Rong was always a lonely child, always keeping to himself, without any friends.
Now that she finally had a playmate, she felt relieved.
At this moment, Pei Tiantian suddenly saw the man not far away, and shouted with difficulty in her baby voice: "Captain Uncle!"
There was an unconcealable fatigue on Liu Changlong's face, and there was a hint of blue under his eyes.
He drove a tractor and took several people from the village to send Zheng father and son to the town hospital. Zheng Tianfu's injury was not serious, only a broken leg.
However, half of Zheng Dahu's foot was cut off. The town hospital said there was a risk of infection, which could be life-threatening if the condition was serious, so they asked him to be transferred to a city hospital immediately.
Liu Changlong and his companions continued walking without stopping, and together with the medical staff, they took the unconscious Zheng father and son to the city hospital.
He also contacted Zheng Tianfu's eldest sister in the city to take care of them, and only then did he return home with peace of mind.
Liu Changlong saw Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong walking with a strange woman, and asked curiously: "Is this girl not from our village? Why haven't I seen her before?"
Tao Jing explained that she was a volunteer teacher who previously worked at Gu Rong's school, and that she came here this time to clear Gu Rong's name.
Liu Changlong was shocked and said quickly, "You are the teacher Tao that Zhiwen and Zhiqiang mentioned, right?"
Just as Tao Jing was about to ask who Zhiwen and Zhiqiang were, she heard Pei Tiantian say, "Teacher Tao, those are my eldest and second uncles. They were the ones who came to the city to look for you, and they also wrote the note they left for you."
"I see."
Tao Jing immediately developed some liking for Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang, two people she had never met before.
Gu Rong has no relatives with the Pei family, but those two people still ran all the way to the city to find her and clarify the matter in order to clear Gu Rong's name.
This is an extremely rare thing.
Tao Jing looked at Pei Tiantian with increasingly gentle eyes.
Pei Tiantian's family are all very nice and worth making friends with.
Tao Jing couldn't help but feel happy for Gu Rong. It was his luck to get to know such an honest and kind family.
Gu Rong listened to Tao Jing's inner thoughts and lowered his eyes silently.
Anyone who watched him could see how lucky he was, so how could he not feel it himself?
Although Pei Tiantian approached him at first, it was probably because of his identity as the so-called villain in the novel.
But she never hurt herself from beginning to end, and even tried every means to be nice to herself.
Sometimes, Gu Rong even felt that he had crossed the line.
There is also Grandma Wang from the Pei family, and the eldest and second uncles of the Pei family, all of them treat me sincerely.
The lines on Gu Rong's face softened slightly.
He is not an ungrateful person. He will always remember all the kindness they have shown him.
If he has the chance in the future, he will repay them.
"The team will hold a regular meeting tomorrow. We will take this opportunity to clarify the matter of Gu Rong being wrongly accused of stealing in front of the villagers and clear his name completely."
Liu Changlong said in a deep voice.
Tao Jing nodded and smiled.
This captain was able to distinguish right from wrong, was efficient in his work, and was a straightforward person, and she liked him very much.
After saying goodbye to Liu Changlong who went home to rest, Tao Jing asked to meet Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang, and Pei Tiantian agreed without hesitation.
So the group went straight to Pei's house.
It's winter now, and it's already dark at five or six o'clock.
The Pei family had returned from the banquet a long time ago. They saw Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong together, and that he had brought a strange woman home.
Everyone in the room turned their eyes towards them.
"Uncle, this sister is Teacher Tao, the one you went to the city to find." Pei Tiantian said.
Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang suddenly understood.
Greeted Tao Jing with a smile.
Tao Jing looked at the two brothers Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang. They looked good and friendly.
But the more I look at their appearance, the more I feel like I have seen them somewhere before.
Tao Jing suppressed the sudden doubts in her heart, made a simple self-introduction with a smile, and appeared neither humble nor arrogant, but graceful and elegant during the conversation.
Wan Cuilan was a little stunned and couldn't help but praise: "Look, this teacher from the city is different. You can tell from her temperament that she is not an ordinary person."
Tao Jing quickly waved her hands modestly.
Wang Ruizhen looked outside and saw that it was getting late. She said, "Teacher Tao, why don't you stay in Tiantian's room tonight? I'll let Tiantian sleep with me today."
Tao Jing thought about it and felt that it was not good to disturb them like this, so she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, auntie. There are still a few empty rooms in Gu Rong's house. I can go back to his place and stay in any one of them. I won't bother you anymore."
When Wang Ruizhen heard this, she did not force it and nodded. She asked the brothers Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang to send them out.
"Teacher Tao, take care!" Pei Zhiwen said.
Tao Jing smiled and said "OK", but her eyes kept scanning the faces of the two brothers Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang.
In the dim night, the outlines of the two people were a little blurry, but they seemed more familiar.
Tao Jing suddenly had an idea: "Excuse me, how do you write your names?"
"We are all named after the Zhi generation, which means ambition. I am the second child in the family and my name is Zhiqiang, which means strong. My eldest brother is Zhiwen, which means cultured."
Pei Zhiqiang said this with a smile, but he didn't notice Tao Jing's shocked expression at all.
"Pei Zhiwen, Pei Zhiqiang..." Tao Jing murmured in shock, and blurted out subconsciously: "Then what is your relationship with Pei Zhisheng?"
