Chapter 82
It's actually very simple.
Chen Meiqi has always wanted Qi's mother to leave the family compound, but she is reluctant to let Qi's mother take care of them.
So every time she had an unpleasant quarrel with Chen Meiqi, she wanted to let Qi's mother leave, but every time the two of them were getting along peacefully, she thought about waiting a little longer, at least Qi's mother could work.
Several months passed without any quarrel between the two.
If Chen Meiqi wasn't pregnant now, Qi's mother would have been disliked by her a long time ago.
But both of them are selfish, and conflicts are always bound to break out.
Today's conflict stems from a small quarrel two days ago.
Qi's mother was unhappy that Chen Meiqi did nothing at home. When she was cooking, she somehow mixed mung beans into the rice. It was obviously a small matter, and the worst that could happen was that they would just have to eat mung bean rice for a while. But Qi's mother insisted that Chen Meiqi pick the mung beans out of the rice.
It's hard to say whether they were originally mixed together or not, but it was obvious that they had to make her pick them out, which must have been intentional. How could Chen Meiqi be willing to do that?
But Qi's mother was not a pushover either. The more unwilling she was, the more she pushed things onto Chen Meiqi.
With a lot of pushing and shoving, the food was spilled all over the floor. No matter which family it was, it would look terrible, especially for someone like Qi's mother, an older generation who cherished food very much. She immediately pushed Chen Meiqi.
Chen Meiqi originally thought that she could take this opportunity to pretend that she had a miscarriage and send the old woman away directly. However, she took two steps back and slipped on the food, and she immediately saw blood. Mother Qi was so scared that she didn't even care about the food.
Yu Yao naturally didn't know the truth of these things. As soon as she heard Qi's mother's voice, she knew that something bad was going to happen.
Normally she loved watching the excitement, but now that human lives were at stake she simply could not stand idly by and rushed over.
When I rushed out, there were already people nearby.
The men were not there, Yu Yao hurriedly said: "Just watch, I'm going to borrow a car!"
Just like last time when she borrowed the car, she rushed to the kitchen and drove away the trailer full of vegetables. She first went to the bathroom to pick up Li Ziyu and then went back to pick up Chen Meiqi.
Fortunately, she acted quickly, and Li Ziyu's medical skills were far more sophisticated than everyone imagined.
As soon as he arrived, he gave Chen Meiqi an injection. After Chen Meiqi recovered a little, everyone took her to the military hospital.
After a busy day, everyone was sweating in this early winter.
"Doctor Li, will my eldest grandson be okay?" The person was pushed into the examination room. Mother Qi grabbed Li Ziyu directly as if she had a mouth and had to speak.
Li Ziyu calmly pulled his arm out of her hand and said, "We'll know after the examination." His tone was indifferent, and the look he gave Qi's mother seemed to ask what she had been doing that morning.
Everyone in the family compound knew that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. It was impossible for Li Ziyu to not know this person.
But he had been a doctor for so long and had seen too many unreasonable people. He could tell at a glance that this person was not a good person and did not want to say much to her. If her grandson died, she might even blame him for having her aborted, so he naturally would not be in a good mood.
"You're a doctor, don't you know?"
Li Ziyu: "Don't make noise. It will affect the doctor's operation. Don't blame others if your grandson falls out."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi's mother, who was always making noises, shut up. She really cared about her grandson.
Yu Yao on the side pursed her lips. Although she knew the occasion was inappropriate, she still wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, Qi's mother did not quarrel with Li Ziyu, otherwise she would have scolded her until she screamed.
After waiting for about half an hour, the doctor brought out the test results.
"It's no big deal. There are signs of threatened miscarriage, so the baby should be saved." The doctor held the list in his hand, and probably because he saw Li Ziyu wearing a white coat, he subconsciously handed the list to him, and then talked about Chen Meiqi's condition.
Then Yu Yao noticed that Li Ziyu's expression became strange, but he said nothing, so Yu Yao did not ask.
Soon, Qi Liangsheng also rushed over, and when he saw Qi's mother, he started to complain.
"Mom, why are you arguing with Meiqi? I finally have a child, but you can't stand me doing well. You should go back to your hometown in a few days."
Qi Liangsheng now regrets it very much.
Chen Meiqi has mentioned to him several times that she wants to send his mother back home, but he is still a little unhappy. But what did his mother do?
When Ah Zhu was around, she despised Ah Zhu for not being able to have children. Now that Mei Qi is pregnant, she complains that she doesn't work. She acts like the Empress Dowager herself!
Qi Liangsheng would never dare to say these words.
But what he said earlier was enough to make Qi's mother angry, "You little bastard..."
After the two of them started arguing, Yu Yao and Li Ziyu quickly moved aside. Seeing that nothing seemed to be the problem, the two of them simply went downstairs and drove back to their compound.
They have done their best by sending the people over.
In the car, Li Ziyu kept looking at Yu Yao with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Yu Yao had a guess in his mind, and seeing him hesitating, he simply took the initiative to ask, "Why are you looking at me?"
Li Ziyu said: "I remember that neither of them has type O blood."
His nonsensical words only made Yu Yao guess, otherwise it would be hard to guess what he was talking about.
"The child has type O blood?"
Although it was a question, Li Ziyu still saw the calmness in Yu Yao's words. He was slightly surprised and asked, "You knew it a long time ago?"
Yu Yao shook his head, and when he breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "It was just a guess before."
I thought Li Ziyu wasn't very interested in other people's gossip. After all, he didn't say anything when he saw them having a private meeting before. But who knew he asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Yao's guess was no secret, so she just said it out loud.
"We saw them meeting behind the toilet before..."
"That woman is anxious to find a biological father for the child in her belly, and the blood type also proves my guess." Yu Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Should we tell anyone?"
It was true that she wanted to make things exciting, but she always felt that it was unnecessary for her to expose the matter to the public. Both parties got what they wanted.
Who knew that she didn't need to worry at all. Li Ziyu said, "It can't be hidden. Even if they don't understand blood types, they can tell the size of the fetus. When we saw them, the girl was already pregnant."
Well, it looks like there will be some fun to watch.
However, when Qi Liangsheng learned about this in the hospital, he did not show any surprise, but instead was a little panicked.
He didn't even look at the blood type written on it.
It turned out that when Chen Meiqi hooked up with him, she had already thought of a way out. Just as those people in the family compound had guessed, the two of them had been together long before they decided on a partner.
Therefore, Qi Liangsheng did not show the medical record openly, but hid it instead. If people knew that he had done that with a woman before getting married, it would definitely be a violation of discipline. In a more serious case, they could even accuse him of having promiscuous relationships. So not only did he not have any doubts, he also took the initiative to conceal the fact that the child was full-term.
But in fact, the size of the child did not match the time when he and Chen Meiqi had sex, and the medical level these days was not that good. This time, like the due date, could only be estimated roughly. If it was a little later, it might have been discovered directly.
But Qi Liangsheng didn't understand anything.
So Yu Yao went back and waited, until Chen Meiqi was discharged from the hospital, and there was nothing exciting to see. She was puzzled and had to tell Gu Qing about her doubts.
Gu Qing finally revealed the truth, "Since Qi Liangsheng thinks the timing matches, it means they have had a relationship for a long time."
Yu Yao suddenly realized, "Then he really deserves it!"
Since he couldn't see the excitement, Yu Yao stopped staring at them.
Because of this incident, there was some rift between the mother and son of the Qi family. Mother Qi was not happy when she was yelled at by Qi Liangsheng. Although it was true that she was looking forward to this grandson, she already had grandsons in her hometown. Why should she come here to suffer and be humiliated?
Even before she got angry, she thought of Liao Zhu, who was already divorced. Liao Zhu used to be so obedient and would do whatever she asked him to do. If only she could have children... Thinking of this, Er Qi's mother felt a surge of regret.
After being irritated by Qi Liangsheng's cold face for several days, Qi's mother could not bear it anymore. Without waiting for Qi Liangsheng to buy a ticket to send her away, she bought a ticket herself and left without saying a word.
Now it was Qi Liangsheng's turn to be dumbfounded. He had really wanted his mother to leave because she had such a weird temper.
But ever since his wife got pregnant, he gave up the idea.
Without his mother, who will take care of the family, who will cook and who will do the laundry?
He and his wife had discussed giving his mother the cold shoulder, but why did they just ignore her? He really didn't understand how it came to this?
But no matter how much he didn't understand, it had already happened, and he had to take time out to do housework and look after his wife. He was so miserable for a while that he soon thought of finding someone outside to take care of Chen Meiqi.
Although Qi's mother's death had a great impact on the two of them, it was really good news for the surrounding neighbors.
For several days, Yao still couldn't get used to the fact that there was no quarreling next door.
In late winter, the snow covered the ground again, and the whole yard was covered with white.
Yu Yao rarely goes out except to go to the clinic and for training.
One day, she received a package from Yangcheng, which was sent by Liao Zhu.
The two haven't contacted each other since she went back. According to her, she started to get involved in the work of the pickle factory as soon as she returned, and only now has she had time to talk to Yu Yao properly.
After Liao Zhu returned, he was indeed treated differently. Many people still look at divorced people with tinted glasses, especially Qi's mother, who had been spreading the rumor in the village that Liao Zhu was unable to have children for a long time, and Liao Zhu indeed had no children, which was equivalent to confirming the fact.
Until now, everyone in the village has believed this so-called truth.
The Liao family was worried about her every day, hoping that she could find someone to take care of herself, but they also knew how difficult it was for someone who couldn't have children to find a partner in this era.
If she gets married and becomes a stepmother, she might as well stay at home.
Anyway, the Liao family was very worried about her affairs, and it seemed that no matter what they did, it would be difficult to solve the problem. They couldn't help but dislike the Qi family even more.
But the Qi family didn't get any benefits from the pickle factory in the first place, and they didn't care about their dislike at all. Instead, they intensified their rumors about Liao Zhu. Later, there was even a rumor that Liao Zhu was driven back to her hometown because she had an affair with another man in the family compound.
They went too far and Liao Zhu could no longer tolerate it, so he reported the matter to the police, who arrested the two brothers and detained them for more than ten days before they behaved themselves.
After this incident of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the people in Liaojia Village no longer dared to make up stories about Liao Zhu.
Originally, those who still looked at Liao Zhu with the old eyes thought that she was still as soft-hearted as before, and were trying hard to arrange a marriage for her to gain benefits. But after this incident, everyone calmed down.
Later, seeing that she did things in an orderly manner, no one dared to say anything to her anymore.
When Qi's mother returned, Liao Zhu had just sent several members of Qi's family to the police station. Qi's mother ran to Liao's house and to the gate of the pickle factory to make a scene, saying all sorts of nasty things, including that Liao Zhu couldn't have children and so on.
When people ignored her, she became even more arrogant and started spreading rumors everywhere. This time, Liao Zhu called the police again and sent the man to accompany her son.
Now the Qi family hated her to death, but there was nothing they could do but look at her with hatred every time.
Liao Zhu said that she finally understood how Yu Yao felt when she was at home. It felt really good to have others dislike you but not be able to do anything to you.
In addition to saying these, Liao Zhu also wrote some suggestions about the development of the factory, along with several new recipes. The package contained pickles made with these recipes, as well as some dried meat and the like. Anyway, the package was quite large.
Although the taste of those new pickles is not a big breakthrough, it can still be considered a new flavor. Yu Yao is not opposed to such innovation that seems to be no change. Isn't innovation obtained through constant exploration?
But what surprised Yu Yao even more was Liao Zhu's plan for the future of the pickle factory. She had a clear analysis of the employees' psychology and she was very suitable to be a manager.
It was also at this time that Yu Yao realized that she probably already knew what kind of person Qi Liangsheng was. She was a very smart girl.
It's a pity that she was shackled and unable to walk out of the cage, wasting several years, but it's not too late to walk out now.
Yu Yao thought about the malicious Qi family and stopped keeping the secret from her neighbors. She told them that Qi Liangsheng had taken the initiative to help someone else raise a son. She felt that considering Liao Zhu's maturity now, she would not act impulsively.
This is her business and it's up to her to do what she wants.
In addition to the letters, Yu Yao also made some delicious food and sent it to the other party. In addition, he sent New Year gifts to relatives and friends in Beijing, Shanghai, and Wanyuan County. It can be said that Yu Yao was very tired.
At the same time, the port city.
Manager Shi, who had been waiting for Miss Lin Shan to appear, finally saw the person who came to him to explain the truth.
Ever since Yu Yao and his companions returned to Yangcheng, a comrade from Gangcheng immediately came to keep an eye on them. However, that person did not reveal his identity directly. Instead, he applied for a clerk position and came to work in the store. After observing him for half a year, he was considered to have recognized Manager Shi and explained his purpose.
But of course, Yu Yao's identity was not fully explained. He only said that Yu Yao was a mainlander with a big boss behind him. He came to Hong Kong to find something, and he also told him about Guo Yue's crimes.
Manager Shi was shocked to learn that Guo Yue had been shot dead.
But this was a big case and it was even reported in the newspapers. When the newspaper was placed in front of Manager Shi, he had to admit the truth of the matter.
It would be a lie to say that he did not feel disappointed, as Guo Yue was an elder-like figure whom he once respected very much.
But now telling him that this person is actually an unforgivable criminal, it is really hard for him to accept it.
But no matter how hard it was to accept that things had come to this point, he couldn't just pay for other people's mistakes. Fortunately, Boss Guo still had feelings for Fu Sheng Yuan and handed it over to Ms. Lin.
He gave a good answer to the comrade from the mainland.
In just half a year, Fu Sheng Yuan's store revenue increased by 26%, and the customer return rate was significantly higher.
The decoration company has entered a period of rapid development, and its current revenue is almost one-third of Fu Shengyuan's.
But the profit had to be divided into three parts because it was a joint venture between the three of them.
Compared with Fu Sheng Yuan, it may not seem like much, but it is actually much better than those decoration companies of the same period.
Finally, the commercial complex is already in the design stage. Once the design drawings are out and there are no problems with the budget and qualification review, construction can begin.
The only possible variable now is that their partner Ding Jue seems to have encountered some troubles recently. His identity as an illegitimate child has been completely revealed. Now he is in the Ding family, but his position is very embarrassing.
Ding Jue is now somewhat overwhelmed with his own affairs, so most of the matters are taken care of by Manager Shi, which is quite tiring.
Yu Yao thought about it and directly changed his compensation method, from the original salary plus bonus to commission.
Although his bonus is still calculated based on the store's revenue, it is usually paid at the end of the year, while commission can be calculated every day and there is hope.
After the information about going to Hong Kong City was sent out, the Chinese New Year was approaching.
They spent a lot of time outside this year, especially Gu Qing, who participated in two missions after returning from Hong Kong City, both of which lasted a long time. In addition, his normal work was also very busy, so he only had some free time during the New Year.
I had plenty of time to spend with Yu Yao every day. We had meals together with everyone and had a sticky New Year.
However, not long after the Chinese New Year, Yu Yao and his friend received a piece of news.
Yao Li ran away.
After Yu Sheng was framed, these two grandchildren were handed over to Cao Lu for arrangement.
Cao Lu was not a man who would treat others lightly, but it was obvious that he would not let them off easily. One could easily guess that their lives were certainly not easy.
But Yu Yao never expected that Yao Li would run away.
"How did she escape? Could she have gotten away without the letter of introduction?"
Besides, it was the coldest time of winter, and she was such a frail little girl with no money. Where could she go?
"It is said that she saved the life of an old man in the village, and then his son agreed to help him steal a blank letter of introduction, and not only that, he also gave him money. If she was smart, she should be able to run away."
Information is not well developed these days. If she runs away like this, there will be no chance of finding her again.
Yu Yao couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She actually felt that this was how it should be.
At first she always thought that it was too easy to solve the problem of Yao Li, but now it seems that she was not overthinking.
"What about Doctor Yao? It wouldn't be another method he came up with, right?" After all, how could Yao Li be able to save people?
Gu Qing's face was solemn. "I think so too. The older you are, the wiser you are. I feel that the book you mentioned is not that reliable."
Yu Yao: “…” She doesn't know either, and she is not the author.
"Then what should we do with Doctor Yao?"
Gu Qing patted her head to comfort her. "Lv Cao just wanted me to ask you something. According to him, the old man is already old. He can't do anything too extreme. Of course, it's not absolute."
"He means that he can either ignore it or criticize it. It may not take more than a few times before he..."
Yu Yao understood what Gu Qing had not finished saying. In such weather, as an old man alone and helpless, he had to suffer mental torture. It would be difficult for him to live until spring.
There was no way Yu Yao could accept such a thing happening. Even if he had to be punished, it shouldn't be in that form.
"Should we have a proper talk with him?" Yu Yao's brows wrinkled a little when he said this.
In fact, she didn't want to talk to him. She felt that he was a sinister old man. Maybe he did everything to give his granddaughter a good life, but what happened last time was unforgivable to Yu Yao.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao rejected his own idea, "Forget it, just find someone to keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything excessive again. Don't underestimate the destructive power of a dying person."
They still cannot determine whether he is a good or bad person. It is not good to deal with him rashly. It is also impossible for them to be kind enough to send him back to the capital. It is better to let him enjoy his old age in the village.
He could have avoided this path. If he really wanted to save his granddaughter, he could have tried to ask Gu Qing for help, even if it was just to find a partner for Yao Li. Gu Qing might have asked someone to help inquire about it, because Gu Qing respected him.
But he made a disappointing choice, so the current situation is the result of his own choice.
Don't blame others.
Gu Qing nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you on this matter. I'll tell Cao Lu about it, but as for Yao Li..."
Now Gu Qing completely believes what Yu Yao said before, so he is also wary of Yao Li and always feels that this person is a potential danger.
But now she has run away, and no one knows what she wrote on the blank letter of introduction. No one knows when she left or where she went.
Yu Yao frowned, "Let's find a way to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
She felt that Yao Li would still go to Beijing, and maybe they would meet again.
Yu Yao now wishes that everyone around him could learn Kung Fu, so that he would have more protection no matter what happens!
Gu Qing nodded, "It will be soon. The house in Beijing has been prepared for us. We can move in there."
Yu Yao is still looking forward to life in Beijing.
Although she cared a lot about Yao Li's affairs, they couldn't find each other for the time being and could only put it aside for the time being.
Yu Yao no longer had time to care about it. She started to study with her old high school textbooks. At this point, it was a bit like cramming.
Several times when Chen Chen came to visit Yu Yao, she saw her holding a book and reading it. At first, she would ask why she was reading, but later, influenced by Yu Yao, she also started reading.
In May, Chen Chen and his partner left first.
Su Lin could have moved up by returning to Beijing, but he chose to return to Shanghai. It can be seen that he is sincere to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen was very reluctant to leave the family compound. She came to see Yu Yao every day, pestering her to write to her. Of course, Yu Yao would not refuse.
Yu Yao knew that she was not only reluctant but also confused about the future, and Yu Yao didn't know how to comfort her.
The pain that had been experienced needed time to heal, and it could not be explained in a few words. Yu Yao could only hug her and say, "Love yourself well, and everything will be fine."
Just like that, Chen Chen also left.
After she and Su Lin left, Yu Yao's place became even quieter. Of course, that only refers to the quietness of her yard.
The noise next door was still going on. Even though Qi's mother had gone home, it seemed as if the aftermath of her quarrel was still here. As long as the two of them were at home at the same time, they would quarrel.
The quarrels that Yu Yao has heard include but are not limited to where the socks went, too much soy sauce was put in the cooking, and do you really have to make trouble unreasonably?
Yu Yao was a little annoyed at first, but later she became more relaxed and regarded the hustle and bustle as a way to relieve boredom after studying.
The effect of this amusing method did not last long.
In mid-June, Yu Yao and Cai Qi left Xichuan together and were about to start their new life.
In less than two years, Yu Yao has gained a lot here.
I got to know people like Li Ziyu, Brigade Commander Cao, Aunt Zheng, Political Commissar Ding, and Director Lin, who were full of kindness and at the same time somewhat lovable.
I experienced the mountains full of Xichuan flavor.
I also saw a lot of excitement in the family compound.
Maybe I have encountered some people and things that I don't like, but most of the people here are still very simple and enthusiastic.
Unlike the unforgettable injuries she had suffered in Qingyang Village, Yu Yao was happy most of the time here.
The person who drove them there was their old acquaintance Xiang Yang.
Ever since that incident, Xiang Yang has truly broken off with his family. He now lives with Xiang Siying, and they have a pretty good relationship. The ignorant little brat back then will now call Yu Yao "Auntie" when he sees her.
I brought him along this time, and he kept chattering away.
"Auntie Yu, are you going to a city with many big houses? Will you miss me?"
Yu Yao teased the child seriously, "That depends on your performance. If you study hard, I'll miss you. If you are helpful, I'll miss you. If you respect your teachers, I'll miss you."
The child's eyes sparkled as he yanked her arm and shook her wildly, "What else?"
"I still love my country and miss you."
"What else?"
“…”
Yu Yao thought about all the good qualities she knew in the car, and she felt a little dazed when she got off.
Seeing him like this, Gu Qing finally understood why she didn't want to have a child now, and he didn't want to either.
But the noise of the children did help to dispel a lot of the sadness of parting.
The three of them still rode in the sleeper compartment. With the experience from the previous times and the presence of Gu Qing and Cai Qi, they returned to the capital city very smoothly.
But this time, only Gu Wu came to pick them up.
"Where's Ayu?" Gu Qing asked subconsciously before getting in the car.
Although Gu Yu is not a talkative person, the two siblings have a good relationship. She will pick him up at the station every time Gu Qing comes back.
Gu Wu helped them load their things into the car and said, "She feels a little uncomfortable and is going to sleep now. It's nothing serious."
Since he said so, Gu Qing and the others did not ask any more questions. Seeing that he did not seem to be in a hurry, they thought that Ayu was not a big problem.
In the car, Gu Wu asked Gu Qing some questions about the transfer between the two sides, asked about the Yu Yao Sauce Factory, and asked about Cai Qi's current situation. He talked a lot along the way, which was a bit abnormal.
Yu Yao was confused, but she didn't know what had happened, so she could only suppress her doubts.
When I returned home and saw Zeng Yue, my doubts became even deeper.
Although it was obvious that Zeng Yue was trying her best to conceal it, the hint of sadness in her eyes was unmistakable, and it seemed that something really had happened.
Gu Yu did not come out during the meal, so Yu Yao only asked one question without saying much. When everyone was getting ready to go back to their rooms to rest, Yu Yao found Zeng Yue to ask about Gu Yu's situation.
Zeng Yue sighed, "Alas, this is a long story, it's not a big deal, you go and have a rest first, I'll tell you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, how can I sleep when you're like this? I've been sleeping all the way on the road. Ayu is also my sister, so it's my duty to care about her."
Zeng Yue took her hand and said, "You are a good child, but that child is probably getting stuck in a rut."
To put it bluntly, it was the first time Yu Yao came to the Gu family that caused trouble.
At that time, Yu Yao asked Gu Yu to follow the training because she hoped that the girl could protect herself well. So Gu Wu found a teacher for her, who was a soldier under Gu Wu named Jiang Nan.
Originally, Gu Yu was doing well in his studies and became more cheerful. However, Jiang Nan was injured while doing a task, so the teacher was naturally replaced by someone else. That person was from the same academy, named Yuan Lai.
"We watched Yuan Lai grow up. He was in the same gang as Gu Qing. We had countless fights when they were little. But now Gu Qing looks like a decent person."
Zeng Yue's description immediately made Yu Yao laugh. What does it mean to behave like a human being?
Seeing Yu Yao smiled, she also smiled, but quickly put her smile back, "I originally thought that Yuan Lai was the same as Gu Qing, but who knew he was so bold that he actually dared to provoke A Yu!"
After hearing this, Yu Yao understood a little. Could it be that someone had taken advantage of Ayu?
If that was the case, she would have to teach that boy a lesson.
"Originally, it would be a good thing if the two of them could be together, but the guy is getting married the day after tomorrow. As soon as she came back today, Yu said she was not feeling well and stayed in her room all night."
Yu Yao was a little confused, "Could it be that he is really feeling unwell?"
"How could that be possible? Her eyes were red when she came back. She didn't have anything to do these two days, except that the boy was getting married." Zeng Yue said angrily.
Yu Yao nodded, "I understand. I'll talk to Ayu tomorrow. Mom, don't worry too much. Go to bed early."
Zeng Yue sent her to her room and said, "It's okay. These are all children's debts."
"What children's debts? Mom, did I offend you?" Gu Qing was about to go out to find a wife when he heard his mother talking about him.
No matter how mature a person is, he is still a child in front of his parents. Zeng Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him. She glared at him before saying to Yu Yao, "Go to bed early. There is nothing to do tomorrow. No need to rush to get up early."
"I understand, Mom, you should go to bed early too."
Zeng Yue left, and Gu Qing muttered, "Is this my mother?"
"What are you thinking about? That's my mom."
Yu Yao was so righteous and confident that he made Gu Qing laugh.
He laughed for a while before holding Yu Yao in his arms, "What did our mother tell you?"
"Let's talk about Ayu." Yu Yao told the other party what Zeng Yue had just said, "Do you think Ayu will be bullied by that guy called Yuan Lai?"
"He dares!" Gu Qing said in a stern tone, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
Yu Yao understood instantly, it seemed that the man named Yuan Lai was really brave.
"No, I have to go find him!" Gu Qing got angry.
"What are you doing? It's late at night. Are you not caring about Ayu's face?" Yu Yao didn't expect him to be so excited all of a sudden. He usually looks like a very stable person. "Is there a conflict between you and Yuan Lai?"
Gu Qing also knew that it was not appropriate to look for someone now, so he sat directly on the edge of the bed and said, "It's not a contradiction."
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless they are one male and one female. But this branch courtyard just happened to have two little tyrants, who were Gu Qing and Yuan Lai back then.
The two have been competing with each other since they were little, from small things like a marble to big things like test scores, they want to win or lose in everything.
Later, when Gu Qing joined the army, Yuan Lai also clamored to go. He was the son of a martyr, and his parents both died in the war. He was the only child left in the family. Naturally, his family did not want him to take risks again, but he insisted on going, and his family had no choice. Now he is doing quite well.
But he has been in Beijing recently. Beijing has many talented people, so he doesn't seem to stand out so much. I guess it's because of the pressure from his family that he stays here.
But that's not the point.
"How dare that brat bully my sister! I can never stand against him!"
Yu Yao: “…” Why do I feel like we're a pair of bickering enemies?
But it was obvious that Gu Qing was not joking. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Do you remember what I told you before, that I saw Chen Meiqi being intimate with a man in Jing City?"
Yu Yao's pupils shrank, "Are you saying that man is Yuan Lai?"
So the baby in Chen Meiqi's belly is from this Yuan Lai?
No way?
It can't be so bloody, right?
Gu Qing obviously thought the same thing as her, but he was not very arbitrary. Instead, he said, "But I just took a casual glance and can't be 100% sure. Let's not worry about it. Go talk to Ayu tomorrow. She will listen to you."
餘瑤點頭，“放心，這事情交給我，要是那個什麽袁來真的欺負了阿瑜，我跟你一起去揍人！可千萬不能怕丢了名聲就把阿瑜随便嫁出去。”
This is what Yu Yao fears the most.
"Don't worry, don't you know who we are? Even if we raise Yu for the rest of her life, we will never let her suffer in another family."
Yu Yao believed what Gu Qing said and just hoped that nothing bad had really happened to A Yu.
"Well, go to bed early. I'm a little sleepy."
Gu Qing did not disturb Yu Yao at night, and the two of them slept until dawn.
Gu Yu went to work obediently and did not continue her decadence from yesterday.
It seems that the situation should not be too bad.
Sure enough, although Gu Yu did not go home for lunch, when she came back in the afternoon she was already the same as before, only looking a little thinner.
"Sister-in-law, I wasn't feeling well yesterday and didn't come to pick you up. This is a gift I bought for you." Gu Yu came to Yu Yao's side and was still very close to her.
Yu Yao was not polite either. This was a gift from her sister-in-law and she had no reason to be embarrassed to accept it. At worst she could buy her something nice later.
"Thank you, Ayu. I'll open it later. Can you please put it in my room for me?" Yu Yao was picking vegetables and was worried about getting things dirty.
Gu Yu didn't care. He nodded and took the things upstairs, looking very well-behaved.
But in fact, Gu Yu is still relatively young. She is not even 19 years old yet and is just a little girl.
It's normal for a girl of this age to be attracted to the opposite sex.
After dinner, Yu Yao took the little girl to the room to open the gifts.
"I don't know if you like it, sister-in-law." Gu Yu was a little embarrassed.
Yu Yao opened the package and took a look. It was a rather retro white shirt. In fact, most shirts of this era were of similar styles, but the material felt quite comfortable.
"Of course I like it. It's such a beautiful dress. Thank you, A-Yu. I like it very much."
What Yu Yao said is true. Choosing a gift is a difficult thing. Many times, it is not about being expensive or exquisite in appearance, but about giving it to the heart of the other person. If you cannot accurately grasp what the other person likes, then it is best to give something that is not easy to go wrong.
But the fact that Gu Yu thought of giving her a gift was a thoughtful thing, and Yu Yao would not be unhappy even if it was not suitable.
However, hearing Yu Yao's affirmation, Gu Yu was obviously very happy, and the smile on her face deepened.
Yu Yao pulled her to sit down and took out some of her skin care products from the box. Some of them were made by herself when she had free time. "Here are some for you. Try them."
Gu Yu felt a little embarrassed, but still couldn't resist the temptation.
Yu Yao helped her wipe her face and hands. Gu Yu stayed in the laboratory all day and rarely went out for sun. Her training was all at night. She looked fair and tender and in good condition. She just didn't dress up, which made her look a little childish.
"Ayu's skin is so good. It will be even more beautiful if you put on some makeup. How about I help you put on some makeup before you go out tomorrow?"
With physical contact, the distance between the two people seemed closer.
This is true with everyone, especially with someone as sensitive as you.
Gu Yu nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're too polite. I heard that your eldest brother's friend's wedding is tomorrow and we all have to go. Are you going?" Yu Yao said as she stole a peek at Gu Yu's expression.
"Yes," Gu Yu answered straightforwardly, and there was nothing unusual in his tone.
Yu Yao was a little confused and asked again: "Do you know anyone who is getting married? Can you tell me about it? I'm afraid I might say something wrong."
Gu Yu said, "Tomorrow's groom is called Yuan Lai, he was my brother's former classmate. They didn't have a very good relationship. Yuan Lai often bullied my brother when he was young, but now that he's grown up, we don't seem to care much about the past. He even taught me martial arts before."
She spoke in a calm tone, and after talking about the groom, she talked about the bride. "I heard that the bride has a powerful background. She seems to be the daughter of Leader Yuan Lai. I'm not sure. Sister-in-law, don't worry. Big brother will be here, so we can just sit there."
It was rare to hear her talk so much, and Yu Yao was still a little uncomfortable. It seemed that this little girl had really changed a lot. However, this also proved that their guess last night was wrong. Gu Yu should have nothing to do with this Yuan Lai.
Out of caution, Yu Yao asked casually while helping Gu Yu to clip her hair, "Are you on good terms with Yuan Lai?"
"It's okay. I don't like him very much. Who told him to always bully the eldest brother?"
