That day, He Aihua stopped Old Lady He from working again.
"Mom, when can I go back to live here? It's been so long now. Big brother, no matter how angry you are, you should have calmed down by now."
He Aihua looked impatient, as if He Aiqing and his wife were being unreasonable by kicking her out.
Old Mrs. He glared at He Aihua and said unhappily, "You still want to go back? Then why can't you control your big mouth? Why are you yelling about your big brother and sister-in-law everywhere?
Now, that guy surnamed Gu finally started to give in, but now it’s all over because of you.”
"What should I do? Please help me think about it."
She had had enough of her life in He Ai's country.
Even if He Aiguo and He Xi worked so hard, they could only fill her stomach, let alone eat egg custard, meat and other vegetables.
The most important thing is that there are several large manure pits near the Social Worker Temple, which are specially used for composting.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, the smell is starting to dissipate.
She always felt that she smelled of cow dung and pig dung all the time.
"What can I do? Just coax her."
Old Mrs. He can hardly protect herself.
In order to spend less money on food, Gu Tingting now drives her out to work and takes care of Gu Jinzhi herself.
"Instead of worrying about this, you might as well go to work and earn as many work points as you can."
Seeing that He Aihua still refused to listen, Old Mrs. He shook her head and left. She should try harder to start with Gu Tingting.
He Aihua pouted and left angrily.
She began to miss Zhang Yu, who was so generous to him.
Now that the Gu family is no longer at the mine, if I go back to look for Zhang Yu, I shouldn't be afraid of being seen.
Thinking of this, she immediately went back to the Social Work Temple to pack her things.
When she was at the mine, she saved a lot of money thanks to the generosity of Gu Youcai and Zhang Yu, which is why she had the confidence to leave Gu Tingting's life.
Afraid that Old Mrs. He would worry, she left a note in the house and asked He Aiguo to pass it on.
Of course, she didn't say directly that she wanted to look for Zhang Yu, but said that a friend in town introduced her to a job and she wanted to take a look.
She was familiar with the route and arrived at the mine in the afternoon.
"Who are you? How dare you go anywhere? Didn't you see these big words?"
The guard stopped him.
"I used to live here. Where's Xiao Zhang? He'll definitely recognize me."
Xiao Zhang was the previous security guard. Since He Aihua always called her brother, he gave her a lot of convenience.
"What are you talking about? We don't have this person here. Go away, this is not a place for you little girls to come. It's unlucky."
Seeing this, He Aihua rolled up her sleeves and argued with her.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaohua? Why did you think of coming back to visit?"
The person who was speaking was Tiezi's mother. They often met each other when buying groceries, and they became familiar with each other.
"Auntie, I came back for something, but the guard wouldn't let me in."
"Come on, let's talk over there."
Tiezi's mother pulled He Aihua to the foot of the mine wall, and the two of them squatted on the ground.
"It's okay, but you'd better not come to the mine again. Ever since Gu Youcai's accident, bad things have happened one after another at the mine.
First, the director Zhang Yu was caught for corruption. I heard that he embezzled more than Gu Youcai and just ate peanuts.
This is not the end. Even though he was dead, it was revealed that he had three or four concubines, but none of them could get pregnant. I guess he was not good at that.
Then the mine collapsed, and only one of the six people who went in to work survived, but his hands and feet were broken.
The families came to the mine every day to cause trouble. If they didn't pay, they would sleep at the gate. The mine's vehicles couldn't get in or out, which delayed them for several days. I saw that several orders were about to fall through. It was only when the new director paid out of his own pocket that the situation was finally settled."
After hearing that Zhang Yu had many women, He Aihua's mind went blank.
She couldn't hear anything Tiezi's mother said afterwards.
He walked out in a daze.
"Hey, it's getting dark soon. Where are you going?"
Tiezi's mother was afraid that He Aihua would encounter some accident after leaving here. The mine could no longer withstand the crisis. If this continued, her husband would have no job.
"Come on, come on, stay at my house for one night and leave tomorrow morning."
He Aihua ignored him and let Tiezi's mother lead him away.
When she passed by the two small two-story blue brick buildings, her eyes were full of reluctance.
She once thought that there would always be a building that would be her home, but she didn't expect that all her hard work would be in vain.
Early the next morning, Tiezi's mother sent He Aihua to the school bus.
Because He Aihua stayed in the house all the time, no one knew she was back except the doorman and Tiezi's family.
After returning to Yuanshan Town, He Aihua felt a little irritable and walked aimlessly on the street alone.
"Hey, He Aihua?"
He Aihua stopped when she heard someone calling her.
"It really is you."
He Aihua looked at the man in front of her with some confusion.
"It's me. We were in the same class in junior high. I sat behind you and was the one who always pulled your pigtails in class."
Once reminded, He Aihua immediately remembered.
She only remembered that there was an annoying boy who always pulled her hair in class and drew ink marks all over the back of her clothes with a pen.
She wanted to ignore it, but when she saw that he was carrying a briefcase, she hesitated.
"Gao Jianguo, why is it you? What are you doing?"
"What can I do? I just work for the little newspaper in town."
