At dawn, as the first hint of light appeared in the east, Gu Yunguo got up.
The lack of two thousand yuan was a huge weight on his mind.
"Dad, it's still early, what are you doing up here?"
Li Lanhua was awakened by Gu Yunguo's commotion and casually asked a question.
"I can't sleep!"
Gu Yunguo sighed and said, "Tell me, what did the second brother do with the money?"
"What is the second son's wife doing in the city this time?"
"Our mother went with them too. Where are they staying?"
"I don't feel at ease."
"Dad, are you planning to go into town to look for someone today?"
Li Lanhua immediately guessed Gu Yunguo's thoughts.
Gu Yunguo nodded and said, "I won't feel at ease unless I go to the city for a walk. That's two thousand yuan!"
"Then, I'll make you breakfast and boil a few eggs while I'm at it. You can have something to eat for lunch!"
"Alright, go ahead!"
Gu Yunguo casually agreed, pondering how he should find the person.
...
As the sun rose, Gu Yunguo had already prepared his things and was about to get on the bus when he heard Li Lanhua's voice calling out to him.
"Dad, Dad, Mom's back!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Li Lanhua's shout, Gu Yunguo quickly ran over and saw his mother walking briskly towards him.
"Mother, didn't you go to the city with the second son's family?"
"Yes, something's come up!"
Gu's mother glanced at her eldest son and daughter-in-law, then paused. "Eldest son, I'm thinking of bringing Lan Hua with me to the city. What do you think?"
"ah?!"
Gu Yunguo was instantly dumbfounded, completely baffled by his mother's actions.
“Xiao Yi opened a braised meat shop in the city. Business is doing well, but she’s quite busy. Xiao Yi and I can’t handle it all, so I was originally planning to ask your dad to come and help me.”
"Now that I think about it, orchids are more suitable!"
What do you think?
"If you have no objections, have Lan Hua pack her things and come with me!"
"Don't worry, you won't work for free, you'll get paid!"
Knowing what kind of person her eldest son was, Gu's mother naturally had to explain everything clearly.
"Mom, how much is it?"
"Oh, wait a minute, Mother, how did the old lady open the shop? Where did she get the money? Did the second son take the money from me?"
"If this was done with my money, then this shop should be mine!"
Gu Yunguo's eyes lit up instantly.
"fart!"
Mother Gu sneered, "This money was borrowed by Xiao Yi's sworn sister to rent the house and open the shop. Your money, who knows what the second son did with it!"
"And Gu Yunguo, listen to me, your mother!"
"Xiao Yi's shop has absolutely nothing to do with you."
"If you dare to cause trouble, I'll have your dad break your legs!"
At that moment, Gu's mother suddenly regretted it; she should have known better than to tell her son about it.
She's really asking for trouble; how could she have raised two such good-for-nothing bastards?
"Forget it, I'll just ask your dad to come with me to help, so we don't end up with some ungrateful wretches and Xiao Yi doesn't blame me for acting on my own!"
"Mother, no, no!"
Gu Yunguo is shameless; he didn't feel anything at all when his own mother scolded him.
"Mother, how much will you pay Lan Hua for helping out?"
"Is it twenty yuan a month?"
"I don't know how much it will cost, you'll have to ask Xiao Yi!"
Mother Gu snorted, "You don't need to say anything more. I still need to ask Xiao Yi about this. If Xiao Yi is willing to let Lan Hua help, then we can talk about it later!"
