Wang Xu didn't want to remain silent in front of his brother-in-law. If he kept silent, his wife would run away. He could only confess his thoughts: "Gu Xi and I have already discussed this issue. I will work hard to make money in the next two years. When I have the capital to go back to Shanghai with Gu Xi, I will buy her a house and let her live a good life.
Although I am still in the probation period and Gu Xi has not agreed to date me, I already consider her as my wife in my heart. If I can't marry her, I will be single for the rest of my life. I give her all the money I earn. Even if she ends up finding someone else, as long as she is happy, I will be happy. "
After saying this, the brother and sister were silent, with a mixture of surprise and admiration. As men, no matter whether they could do it in the end, at this moment, Gu Chao knew that Wang Xu loved Gu Xi terribly, and even if they were a real couple, they might not be able to do this.
Gu Xi was more moved, and her heart was filled with warmth. Wang Xu had never said these words to her before. He was as thick-skinned as a coquettish peacock all day long, but she didn't expect that he had such a plan.
Gu Chao was surprised for a while, then regained his sanity: "You think it's so easy to buy a house in Shanghai? Houses are not cheap now. You can only make a few bucks a year by farming, and you want to start a business? It's a fantasy."
Wang Xu pulled Gu Chao into the room and handed him the passbook. After opening it and looking at the numbers on it, Gu Chao almost lost his legs: "You. You. How could you have..."
Wang Xu said proudly: "This is just a small part. Now you believe that I can buy a house for Gu Xi and give her a good life."
Although Gu Chao was surprised, he was not a person who had never seen the world: "Don't think I will agree if you show me these. Gu Xi has not suffered much since she was a child. I hope she can find someone who is truly good to her and walk hand in hand with her."
These words were all within Wang Xu's expectations: "Brother-in-law, I will start a pig farm with the villagers this year. After saving some money, I may consider doing transportation. I have a driver's license. While starting a business, I also plan to read more books and strive to be worthy of Gu Xi."
Wang Xu had said this, and Gu Chao had nothing else to say: "Starting a business is risky. Anyway, I definitely can't agree to your request now. Gu Xi must go back to Shanghai. Look at the environment here. Do you have the heart to let her stay here for you? We all hope that Gu Xi can get better and better. You must promise me that you can't take advantage of her. Otherwise, I will come over and beat you to death no matter how far away you are."
Wang Xu looked Gu Chao up and down and said, "You may not be able to beat me. But I promise you, I won't hold her back."
The two talked in the house for a long time, but Gu Xi ignored them and packed up her things in the yard. I looked up and saw Congbao peeking at the door: "What are you doing? Do you smell the snacks?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Tian Congbao carefully entered the yard, holding a wooden stick in his hand: "I just heard you arguing with someone. Is the guy gone? I'll help you beat him away."
At this time, Wang Xu and Gu Chao came out of the room. They stared at Cong Bao. Seeing that Cong Bao was holding a stick, Gu Chao was confused: "Hey, what are you doing with a stick? Are you bullying my sister? Be careful or I'll beat you up."
Tian Congbao was so scared that he dropped his stick and ran away: "Ah, Gu Zhiqing, I will come to save you next time."
Leaving Gu Chao disheveled in the wind, Gu Xi laughed until her stomach hurt: "He heard you and I arguing just now, and came over with a stick to help me, but you scared him away."
Gu Chao had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the place: "It's a good idea for such a small kid to want to help you."
Gu Xi reminded him, "How long have you been here? There are many twists and turns in this village. You should avoid them if you have nothing to do. This little guy is from the family next door, but each one is more difficult than the other. You should stay away from him."
Wang Xu opened the room on the right for ventilation, and cleaned the house twice. Gu Xi couldn't stand it anymore: "Gu Chao, you clean the house by yourself. Wang Xu has to do everything, and he has to cook. If you can do it, stay here. If you can't do it, go to the guesthouse."
Gu Chao has always been at the bottom of the food chain. He finally found someone with a lower status than him, but before he could enjoy enough, he was back to his original state.
The weather was cold, so Gu Xi gave the thin mattress and quilt she had just bought in the countryside to Gu Chao, and changed herself to the thick mattress and quilt sent by home: "Mom is the best in the world. My mom is so thoughtful. She helped me nail the quilt cover. I really don't know how to do this."
After Gu Xi finished covering the quilt, she went to the kitchen to help Wang Xu cook. "I usually think Secretary Wu is a nice person, but I didn't expect his daughter to be so fun. Do you think she looks alike to Wei Qingzhe?"
Wang Xu thought about the gossip about Secretary Wu’s family: “Secretary Wu is not from our village. He used to be a soldier and a college student. Later, he was seriously injured while on a mission and hid in the mountains. He was rescued by Aunt Tang’s father who went up the mountain to chop firewood.
When I was in a coma and when I just woke up, it was Aunt Tang who took care of me, and that's how we developed a relationship. Secretary Wu still had some sequelae in his body. He looked no different from ordinary people at ordinary times, but he could not withstand high-intensity training. Finally, after much consideration, he retired, took the subsidy, kept his promise, married Aunt Tang, and settled down in Qingmiao Village. "
Gu Xi listened with great interest, and Wang Xu let Gu Xi taste the dishes he had prepared first.
Gu Chao silently observed the two people getting along with each other from behind, and felt that he saw the same feeling of his parents being affectionate with each other.
At dinner, Gu Chao tasted the food Wang Xu made and was amazed: "It suits your taste better than what our father cooks. It's tailor-made for you."
During the meal, Gu Chao talked about the Liu family again: "His family really got retribution. They reported our father and then reported you. Now the situation has changed and they have been reported as well. They have to reveal all the previous things. If they don't, they will be detained.
After borrowing a lot of foreign debts, the hole was finally filled. The whole family was greatly affected. Liu Xiuni's second brother was a very handsome man. Somehow, he found a daughter of a wealthy family. The family had no son, but she actually fell in love with Liu Xiuni. Later, the other party asked him not to associate with poor families, and he resolutely broke off the relationship.
The eldest son is the only one left at home. He wrote to Liu Xiuni several times but never received a reply. "
Gu Xi was shocked when she heard this: "Liu Xiuni's life is not going well. The man who went to the countryside with her broke up with her not long after. No one is giving her money. Recently, she seems to be getting close to a man in the village. This man is very honest, listens to her, helps her with work, and often brings her food."
Gu Xi skipped several times when they met Liu Xiuni and had conflicts, to avoid making Gu Chao worry. He was a big talker, and if he went back and told his parents, his parents would have sleepless nights for at least a week. There was no need for that. While they were away, he finally understood the mentality of only reporting good news and not bad news.
