Gu Yunzhong successfully tricked Gu Yunguo into handing over all the money he had saved at home.
Two thousand yuan!
In the village in the 1980s, Gu Yunzhong had two thousand yuan in his family, which truly overturned Gu Yunzhong's understanding. He couldn't fathom how Gu Yunzhong had managed to save so much money.
Based on his predecessor's memories, he could roughly estimate that the most money he had given Gu Yunguo over the years was no more than eight hundred yuan. After all, this was an era when the average salary was only ten or twenty yuan.
Gu Yunzhong was skilled at masonry work and earned some money by doing odd jobs outside.
Gu Yunguo, who has always farmed in the village, how did he manage to save so much money?
Gu Yunzhong didn't ask any questions, but simply took the money and prepared to leave.
"Second brother, can this really work out?"
Seeing that Gu Yunzhong had wrapped the bundles of 100-yuan bills he had saved up over the years in his clothes, Gu Yunguo reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Brother, have I ever lied to you all these years?"
"No, that's not true!"
Gu Yunguo thought for a moment and nodded.
Gu Yunzhong added, "Brother, if you're worried about this, then here's what we'll do: I'll take a thousand yuan, and you keep a thousand. If you don't earn enough money later, don't blame me!"
"Fine, second brother, you can take them all!"
Gu Yunguo eventually let go.
"Big brother, don't worry, this two thousand yuan will soon turn into twenty thousand yuan. Just wait for me to lead you to riches!"
Gu Yunzhong spoke with great conviction.
Gu Yunguo sighed and said, "Second brother, you must be careful. This money is for Chengzhong's schooling. He is the only son of our Gu family. As his second uncle, you will have to rely on him to break pots for you in the future!"
"Brother, what have I forgotten? How could I forget my nephew?"
"Just you wait and see!"
Gu Yunzhong left Gu Yunguo's house with a bag full of money.
This large sum of money was enough for him to use as his start-up capital.
Back home, Gu Yunzhong looked at the familiar door from his memory and thought of his former wife, Jiang Yi. Although she was very beautiful, he wasn't particularly attracted to her.
As the country develops, society also changes with the times. Forty years later, he is more accustomed to the dazzling neon lights of big cities than to the rustic village girls in this small mountain village.
In the end, Gu Yunzhong spent the night in his own courtyard and did not go inside.
When dawn broke, Gu Yunzhong woke up and started rummaging around the house. He found a snakeskin bag, stuffed it with all sorts of odds and ends, and naturally, he also stuffed all the money into it.
These days, things are really not peaceful outside.
Don't flaunt your wealth!
After Gu Yunzhong finished everything, he threw five large banknotes into the room through the window.
"Take this money first, I have to go out for a while!"
With those words, Gu Yunzhong picked up his snakeskin bag and left the house, exiting the village in the dim light of dawn.
Jiang Yi, who was sleeping on the bed inside the room, had woken up while Gu Yunzhong was making a fuss outside, but she didn't move, mainly because she didn't know how to face this scoundrel.
Also, if that jerk asks her to cook, should she do it or not?
Thank goodness, that scoundrel is gone!
Yes, I left her some money.
Jiang Yi picked up a roll of money that had fallen to the ground, her face instantly lighting up with surprise.
That bastard is really rich!
Five "big unity" bills—in those days, fifty yuan was no small sum.
Such a large sum of money is enough for her to settle down in the city temporarily with her daughter.
Great, a very good start!
