Chapter 60 The last wish of the twin brother and sister 7
Gu Xia had no way to defend herself. If she disagreed, the farmer would call the police and accuse her of hooliganism.
His son is a fool, what can a fool know? It must be this Gu Zhiqing who seduced his son, the fault lies with Gu Zhiqing.
Gu Xia looked at the educated youth who had come to watch the fun, hoping they could help her.
The educated youths all avoided each other's eyes. They still had to make a living under the farmer and definitely didn't want to offend him.
Besides, if Gu Zhiqing knew how to restrain her edge, how could this disaster have befallen her?
Gu Xia finally realized what it meant to be isolated and helpless?
The locals helped the farmer, and the educated youth just stood by and watched. She burst into tears, "You all bully me."
The farmer had a pair of inverted triangle eyes, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes. He slowed down his voice and said, "Gu Zhiqing, you won't suffer any loss if you marry my son. I can arrange an easy job for you."
He openly spoke of abusing his power for personal gain, and of course no one refuted it. It was not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare.
Gu Xia had no choice but to nod in grievance. She wanted to write a letter to her father, asking him to come and rescue her as soon as possible.
On the day Chang'an and Gu Laoliu were discharged from the hospital, Gu's father received a letter from Gu Xia.
The letter only said that she was going to get married to the farmer's son and asked her family to send her money and tickets.
Of course, these were not what Gu Xia wanted to say, but the letter for help she had originally written could not be sent. The farmer stared at her and asked her to write a new letter asking for money and tickets from her family.
Father Gu did not think much about it. The tone of the letter asking him for money was undoubtedly from Gu Xia herself. He threw the letter into the drawer and did not want to pay any attention to her.
He had been promoted to the position of Minister of Logistics a week ago, and had thought that the results would not be known until next month. Unexpectedly, the person competing with him was suddenly found to have work style issues during the investigation.
Gu's father was promoted and got a raise as a matter of course. What he didn't know was that Chang'an and Gu Laoliu were behind this.
After receiving Gu Xia's letter, he became uneasy. Just in case, he decided to make a secret visit to the farm.
It’s not that he was worried about something happening to Gu Xia, but he was worried that she would bring trouble to the family. She was not the only child in the Gu family, and he had to consider the other children as well.
He settled Changan and Gu Laoliu and told them about going to the northwest. "Changan, Xiaoliu, Dad is going on a long journey to the northwest. Can you take care of yourselves?"
I originally wanted to send the siblings back to the city, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was too much trouble. Since they have moved here, there is no need to move around.
The most important thing is that the brother and sister went back to the city and they will never come back. His wife is too lazy to visit him on her days off.
With these two around, his wife would run to the military region whenever she had days off. He wanted his wife to work in the military region, but she was unwilling and would rather go through this than change.
Chang'an tilted his head. Could it be that this old man couldn't bear to part with Gu Xia and wanted to save her?
"What are you doing in the Northwest? Business or personal matters?"
Gu Laoliu and Chang Bian sat in a row, their two pairs of big eyes staring at Gu's father without blinking.
Father Gu was instantly touched by the cuteness and grinned like a fool.
"Personal matter, I'll be back soon."
They both nodded at the same time and said, "Go ahead."
Father Gu wanted to leave some money and tickets for the siblings, so he reached into his pocket and found fifty cents?
He gave all his money to his wife, so he has no money left to buy train tickets, right?
He stared blankly at the fifty cents in his hand. Wasn't this pocket money too little?
Chang An dug into his pocket and gave Father Gu twenty yuan. "Is that enough?"
"Why do you have so many?"
"Girl, is there anything else?" The round-trip fare, plus food and accommodation all cost money, and we might have to stay there for several days.
Forget it, let’s go back to the city and apply to my wife. Father Gu returned the money to Chang’an and said, “You keep it, I’ll ask your mother for it.”
Gu Laoliu had just taken out the money, but after hearing what he said, he quickly put it back and pressed the opening of his trouser pocket.
The corner of Gu's father's mouth twitched, and he said: "Look at how stingy you are, be careful that you won't be able to find a wife."
"Hmph!" Gu Laoliu snorted coldly, shook his head, and pulled Chang'an away.
As soon as Gu's father left, Chang'an and Gu Laoliu returned to Gu's mother's place in the city with a lot of bags.
The two of them spoke sweetly, "Aunt Wu, Aunt Zhao, Uncle Lin..." and started calling out as they entered the textile factory's staff quarters.
"Changan, Xiaoliu, you're back? Are you feeling better?"
"I'm much better now, thank you Aunt Wu for your concern."
"Your house has a new door. Go to my aunt's house and wait for your mother to come back from get off work."
"Oh, okay, thank you Aunt Wu."
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu chatted with Aunt Wu at her house for a while, and then it was time for Gu's mother to get off work.
Mother Gu was surprised to see the siblings. "Why did you come back by yourselves? And you are carrying so many things. Why didn't you ask your eldest and second brothers to take you back?"
"My eldest brother and second brother are both busy and it's not far from home, so there's no need to send me off," Chang'an followed behind Gu's mother, dragging a big bag.
Gu Laoliu, who was at the back, was carrying a bigger one on his back. Gu's mother suspected that these two had moved all the things from their father's house back.
Her suspicion was correct. As long as they were useful and took a fancy to something, they would grab it.
It shouldn't be long before people from the street office come to notify them to go to the countryside. They'll have to buy things there anyway, so it's better to send them from home.
Mother Gu looked at her oldest son speechlessly, and took out a double-handled pot from her big backpack, and then took out a small aluminum pot for boiling water, two thermos bottles, and two military coats.
"Son, did you rob your father's house?"
"Almost. I have picked up all the usable ones. There are more in Changan." After Gu Laoliu finished tinkering with his own big backpack, he took Changan's one and tinkered with it.
Two washbasins, spatulas, bowls and chopsticks, and soy sauce were all taken away, followed by the two people's clothes, quilt covers, and bed sheets.
What's even more outrageous is that he even took out a small stool from his big backpack.
"Son, the wall in your father's house should still be there, right?"
"Yes, if you don't move that thing, you'll have no place to build a house if you move back. Do you want bricks? If so, I'll go and tear it down for you."
"No, no, that's a public house, it can't be destroyed," Gu's mother wiped away the non-existent cold sweat, fearing that if she answered slowly, Gu Laoliu would run and tear down a wall for her.
Chang'an and Gu Laoliu rested at home for another half a month, and then the street office came to notify them of the time to go to the countryside.
It was Director Zhang who came. She said a few polite words, which were nothing more than praising Gu's mother for her high level of awareness and for having three children in the family go to the countryside.
"Comrades Gu, please gather at the train station three days from now in the morning to collect your train tickets. You must go there early to avoid missing the train."
"Okay, thank you Director Zhang." Mother Gu gave her a handful of fruit candies and sent her downstairs with a smile.
Fortunately, she has been helping the siblings prepare things for going to the countryside, otherwise three days would not be enough.
