"Qingli, Qingli..." the old lady of the Li family shouted while knocking on the door.
Zhou Yubai heard the sound and walked out of the room. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Qingli made a shushing gesture and Zhou Yubai immediately fell silent.
Gu Qichuan didn't come out at all. He had no interest in the people in the village. He just wanted to finish the work quickly. If he didn't finish the work, the two of them would have to sleep in the bamboo shed. The two little ones would have to live with him.
Although he likes Gou Wa and Niu Niu very much, it is inconvenient for him to go out at night if he has something to do.
After all, they were at the foot of the mountain, far away from the village. If someone sneaked into his yard while he was out, the two little ones would have no ability to fight at all.
The old lady of the Li family knocked on the door for a long time. The yard was big enough, and the movement inside the house could not be heard from outside. As long as Shen Qingli didn't make a sound, they could pretend that no one was at home.
"This is empty."
Mrs. Li rubbed her hands and said, "This little rascal is not at home right after the house is built. I don't know where he went."
Zhou Yubai's face darkened.
The old lady of the Li family turned around and walked back, cursing as she walked, "It's such a big house, and Zhou Yubai is not at home, she must have brought someone home, burning fox. Little bitch."
Her scolding became more and more unpleasant.
Zhou Yubai frowned even deeper.
Shen Qingli stepped forward and held Zhou Yubai's hand.
"You heard it, they all have bad intentions."
"Before, he was nice to me, but it was just an act. He wanted to cheat my mom out of her money."
Shen Qingli was filled with righteous indignation.
Zhou Yubai always felt that something was wrong. At the beginning of yesterday, Shen Qingli wanted to go see her grandmother, but suddenly she didn't want to go anymore...
Then, today, the old lady of the Li family proved with facts that she was really bad.
Why did Qingli change her mind?
"Yubai, get to work." Shen Qingli knew that Zhou Yubai had noticed something was wrong, so she immediately urged him.
"Okay." Zhou Yubai responded and continued to grind the wall with Gu Qichuan.
The two of them worked from morning till night and were just halfway done.
However, there was one thing that both of them found a little strange. The cement sand was quite durable. It seemed that they had used a lot of it, but there was still so much.
Shen Qingli: There is no limit to the number of space products we can produce, we can have them as needed.
For four consecutive days, Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan worked together.
Shen Qingli was in charge of cooking. She had a lot of cotton, but there wasn't much work she could do at the moment, so she simply started making sofa cushions and a few quilts.
They also made several quilt covers specially. Shen Qingli took Niuniu to do plant rubbings. The two of them used wild flowers, grasses and tree leaves to make unique quilt covers.
Niuniu was so happy that she would even call out in her dreams at night, "Mom, pick the flowers quickly..."
On the fifth day, the walls and floors were all completed.
Shen Qingli finally remembered what she had been forgetting!
She forgot to ask Zhou Yubai about his two sisters!
After finally remembering it, Shen Qingli directly pulled Zhou Yubai to the backyard this time.
"Yu Bai, I heard that you have two older sisters. Why didn't you tell me about them?" Shen Qingli asked.
Zhou Yubai's expression changed slightly.
"My eldest sister was married off to the mountains when I was still in the army. I had no news of her after I came back. My mother only said that she had a good ending, but she refused to tell me anything else."
"No one in the village wanted to tell me more. The village chief and his people didn't know about it either. By the time they found out, my eldest sister had already passed away."
Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yubai, and she could see that Zhou Yubai had deep feelings for his elder sister.
"Where's my second sister?"
"My second sister married a scoundrel named Zhang Daqing. Our two villages are not far from each other. I went to look for her when I heard about her. I asked her how she was doing and she said she was doing well. I told her that she could come to me if she had any problems, but she never came to see me once."
"My own affairs were also a mess at that time. I only gave her money twice when I was free, but she refused to accept it. Later, she asked me not to go to her again."
"I didn't want to affect her life so I stopped going."
Zhou Yubai’s relationship with his second sister is definitely not as good as his relationship with his eldest sister.
"Did you ask your second sister where your eldest sister married?" Shen Qingli asked.
"I asked her, and she said that she went to work that day, and when she came back, her mother told her that her eldest sister got married. I have been trying to find my eldest sister, but I didn't find her, and she didn't come to find me either." Zhou Yubai frowned, "Why did I suddenly think of asking about my eldest and second sisters?"
"I suddenly thought of Zhou Sicheng and Zhou Sian, the brother and sister, and then I thought of my eldest and second sisters. They didn't even get to eat the wedding candy when we got married." Shen Qingli found an excuse.
Zhou Yubai held Shen Qingli's hand and said, "Gu Qichuan and I have reported to the police. My mother will be sent to a farm for reform."
Shen Qingli was slightly stunned. She didn't take the matter of Widow Zhou to heart. She didn't expect Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan to be so cruel.
"Is she healed?"
"No, he's still in the hospital. Zhou Sicheng asked someone to use his connections." Zhou Yubai said coldly.
Widow Zhou's case was caused by Gu Qichuan's relationship. The people in charge naturally knew the Gu family's background and status, so they did not give them face, and Widow Zhou still had to undergo reform.
This incident also made Xiaomei feel guilty, and she treated Zhou Sicheng better.
"Who is Zhou Sicheng looking for?"
"The deputy director of the machinery factory," Zhou Yubai said, "Zhou Sicheng has a very good relationship with the deputy director's daughter."
Shen Qingli frowned slightly. Zhou Sicheng was a reborn person. The person he was actively approaching now would definitely achieve something in the future.
"Have you investigated the deputy factory director? What does his future hold?" Shen Qingli asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to factory director next year." Zhou Yubai knew that Zhou Sicheng had found the deputy director of the machinery factory, and he immediately investigated this person.
Shen Qingli: Sure enough, the reborn have golden fingers.
It seems necessary to remind the deputy factory director's daughter to be careful of Phoenix Men.
"Zhou Sicheng is quite capable."
"He has liked to show off his cleverness since he was a child." Zhou Yubai actually did not have a good impression of Zhou Sicheng.
To be exact, I have hated it since I was a child.
When Zhou Sicheng was a child, he liked to drag Zhou Yubai into trouble for no reason, and he always naively thought that he could distance himself from the matter, even though he would be exposed by Zhou Yubai every time.
Later, Zhou Yubai joined the army.
Zhou Sicheng wrote the letter to ask for money. When Zhou Yubai returned to Kaoshantun, Zhou Sicheng asked him for money even more fiercely.
At that time, Zhou Yubai didn't care about anything. He just gave it to you if you wanted it, like a walking corpse...
Shen Qingli held Zhou Yubai's hand and said, "It's just that if you send your mother to reform like this, people in the village will probably gossip about it."
"I don't care." Zhou Yubai said calmly. In fact, he had heard the most unpleasant words.
A few idle words, insignificant.
The two men talked for a while, and then Zhou Yubai went to clean up the front yard.
Shen Qingli was still busy in the backyard. She had dug up a few tree and flower seedlings, as well as a few tea tree seedlings, from the mountain in the past few days.
Tea tree seedlings are in the space, and there is no place to plant them, so Shen Qingli planted them in her backyard...
