"Mom, does Dad not want us anymore?"
As Jiang Yi was holding five ten-yuan bills and dreaming about the future, she heard her little darling's timid voice asking a question.
"Sweetie, why do you say that?"
"Dad likes Chengzi-ge. He doesn't like Xiaolingdang!"
"Mommy, are you going to give up on Little Bell too?"
Hearing the little cutie's timid question, Jiang Yi felt a pang of heartache.
She reached out and hugged her daughter, her voice slightly choked with emotion, and solemnly promised, "Little Bell is Mommy's precious baby, Mommy will never, ever leave Little Bell!"
"Then, let's pinky swear!"
The little cutie has a sweet, soft voice that's very pleasant to listen to.
Jiang Yi naturally wouldn't refuse the little cutie's request.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now!"
"Whoever turns into a puppy is the real dog!"
"Mommy, Little Bell likes you!"
"Mommy likes the little bell too!"
"Sweetie, get up and get dressed quickly, we're going to catch the car soon!"
Where are you going by car?
"Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle don't like Little Bell. Can we not go to Grandpa's house?"
"No, no, Mom will take you to the city. We'll go make money, lots and lots of money, and buy lots and lots of delicious food!"
...
It took Jiang Yi quite a bit of effort to finally coax her little darling out of bed.
Breakfast was boiled eggs.
It wasn't that Jiang Yi didn't want to cook something delicious, but rather that there weren't any decent seasonings at home; she was a skilled cook who couldn't cook without ingredients.
After eating the boiled eggs, Jiang Yi boiled the remaining five eggs and filled a kettle with water. Then, she took Xiao Lingdang's hand and they walked out of the house together.
As for how to make money in the county town, Jiang Yi had already figured it out yesterday.
First, collect junk, then scavenge for treasures within it.
With her years of experience in finding bargains, making money in this era is not difficult.
Of course, even if all else fails, you can still make money just by selling junk.
Many people may think that picking up trash is shameful, but Jiang Yi believes that earning money through one's own abilities is not shameful.
...
Not long after Jiang Yi left with Xiao Lingdang, Gu Yunguo came looking for her.
When he saw the front door open and no one in the house, Gu Yunguo felt uneasy.
He didn't sleep well at all last night.
After all, those two thousand yuan were money he had saved up for many years. Some of it came from Gu Yunzhong, and some he had swindled from his mother.
Of course, he actually had more than two thousand yuan saved at home, but that two thousand yuan was the majority.
After giving the money to Gu Yunzhong, Gu Yunguo became increasingly uneasy.
Despite not having slept all night, he managed to doze off just before dawn.
When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
He hurriedly went to Gu Yunzhong's house, but no one was home, which made Gu Yunguo increasingly uneasy.
But since he couldn't find him for a while, he could only wait at the door.
This wait lasted a whole day.
Gu Yunzhong was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Yi and Xiao Lingdang were nowhere to be seen either.
Gu Yunguo hurriedly ran to his parents' room to ask if they knew where Gu Yunzhong and his wife had gone.
"Not home?"
Upon hearing her eldest son's question, Gu's mother immediately sat up straight.
"They're not here, none of them are here!"
"It's been a whole day!"
"Boss, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
Mr. Gu remained quite calm.
"Dad, the second son took two thousand yuan from me, saying..."
Gu Yunguo hurriedly repeated what Gu Yunzhong had said yesterday to his father, "By the way, Dad, when we took the second son to your clinic yesterday, did we really encounter anyone on the way?"
