The Shanghai market had not yet developed at that time and was still very different from the international metropolis of later generations.
However, compared with the countryside where they live, or even the provincial capital, Shanghai can be said to be quite prosperous.
Although there aren’t many skyscrapers, the towering department stores are still amazing.
The city already has a well-developed public transportation system. Although the ride is very slow and the cars are very crowded, it is still much better than the conditions in the countryside.
No wonder young people in the city are unwilling to go to the countryside to work as farmers. The conditions are really bad.
The factory was in a good location. Gu Qingning recalled the prosperity of the metropolis in the future. The scenes in her memory began to overlap with the place in front of her. She couldn't help but calculate how much money she could get from the demolition in the future.
She was daydreaming when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The woman seemed not to see her and just kept walking forward.
Gu Qingning quickly walked over to the familiar face: "Hey, isn't this Aunt Bai? You clearly saw me just now, why didn't you come up and say hello?"
Her voice was so loud that several neighbors around her couldn't help but turn around to look.
Bai Lin really wanted to pretend that she couldn't see it, but the neighbors were all there, so she couldn't do anything too much and could only swallow her anger.
"Qing Ning, why didn't you tell me you were back? I was so scared! I didn't even recognize you!"
Her smile was so fake that it made people feel uneasy.
Gu Qingning retorted without hesitation: "Aunt Bai, look at what you said. I am a family member returning to my own home. What is there to say? Unless someone doesn't want me to go home, right?"
Bai Lin felt like she was slapped in the face when she heard her sarcastic words.
But she could only continue to pretend to be magnanimous: "Look at what you said, we always welcome you home. Isn't it not easy for you to come back? We should pick you up earlier so that we can buy some of your favorite dishes earlier!"
"There's no need to go to such lengths. Just ask Dad to cook a few dishes. I usually eat pretty well."
After saying that, Gu Qingning walked directly into the factory.
Several neighbors couldn't help but come over and say, "Qing Ning, you're finally back! Wow, I haven't seen you in so many years. You've grown into a big girl, even more beautiful than before!"
Bai Lin looked at Gu Qingning and couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart.
She thought that the conditions in the countryside were so poor, and with the hard work and exposure to the sun, Gu Qingning should have gotten uglier and uglier.
But for some reason, her skin became more and more delicate, as smooth as a peeled egg.
She has a slim and slender figure, an upright stature, and seems to have grown taller than before. She looks more elegant than before. Even though she is pregnant now, there is no bloated place on her body except for her belly.
She is even prettier than her carefully raised daughter from the city!
She was really unwilling to give up, so she simply glanced at Lu Changqing who was left out in the cold.
"This is our son-in-law, right? Oh, it's your first time in such a big city. Are you feeling nervous?"
Only then did everyone notice Lu Changqing who had been carrying the luggage.
Bai Lin continued, "Don't underestimate me, my son-in-law, just because he's from the countryside and hasn't received much education. I do love my wife dearly! And to marry a wife as wonderful as Qing Ning, I must have put in some effort, right?"
It also implies that he is a country boy, and that he is marrying into a wealthy family.
This is really a very embarrassing statement.
Everyone also began to look at Lu Changqing with scrutiny.
He was very tall, at least 1.80 meters, with a posture as straight as a poplar. Although his skin was slightly tanned, he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bright look, no less than the movie stars on TV.
He looks good, but unfortunately he is a country boy and a peasant.
The looks from the neighbors around began to become more and more meaningful.
"Qing Ning, are you already pregnant?"
Gu Qingning is beautiful, but arrogant. Can she really be willing to marry a rural man and voluntarily get pregnant?
Can she live such a good life?
Gu Qingning smiled happily: "Of course, look at me, I found such a handsome man, who knows how good-looking the child will be!"
An old lady nearby was about to speak but hesitated, then couldn't help but advise, "But he has a rural household registration after all. When you two have a child, won't that be a rural household registration too? You'll be stuck in the countryside your whole life!"
Gu Qingning knew that Aunt Liu said this for her own good.
She directly took Lu Changqing's arm and said, "It doesn't matter. Didn't my dad say that he would leave the house to me? When the time comes, I will directly transfer the ownership and transfer Lu Changqing's household registration here. Then we will both have city household registration, right?"
When the people around heard this, they were at a loss for words.
Some sneered, some shook their heads, and some sighed.
But more of it is envy.
The Gu family’s house is their own, not allocated by the factory, so they can use it for settlement.
Being able to find a formal job is equivalent to having a stable job. Who wouldn’t be envious?
Bai Lin was horrified, her face turning black and white.
Gu Qingning actually wanted to rely on her parents for support?
Although I have known for a long time that she is a waste, I didn't expect that she is a waste so thoroughly. Now she doesn't even plan to work hard herself, but plans to inherit the family business directly!
"Qing Ning, you two are still young. You have hands and feet, so you should work hard on your own. Wouldn't it be good for you to find a job and the company to allocate housing for you?"
She didn't dare say too much, for fear of being criticized behind her back and being called a vicious stepmother.
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Aunt Bai, look at what you said. When I took the initiative to go to the countryside to work in the fields in place of my sister, didn't we agree that Dad would leave the house to me? Don't tell me you forgot!"
"How is that possible? Your father never told me that!"
Bai Lin held her stomach and lost control of her emotions for a moment.
Gu Qingning feigned surprise and said, "I thought you had already discussed this with Dad. After all, it was Dad who took the initiative to bring it up. Aunt Bai, my dad didn't tell you because he was probably afraid you wouldn't agree! Don't think too much about it. It's more important to take care of the baby in your belly first!"
Bai Lin's face was so smelly that water could drip from it.
You, Gu Zhang, have even learned to act first and report later?
I really underestimated you!
If you want to leave the house to Gu Qingning, you must first ask Bai Lin if she agrees!
PS: I also need to collect the best ones one by one, and fill up the resistance little by little. The next step is to raise cubs and make a fortune. I plan to let Qing Ning give birth to two, and then no more children in the future, so I don’t have to worry about it.
