Chapter 125: Father Gu Is Back (4)
Because of Zhang Xiaohui’s conduct during this time, almost everyone in the brigade thought poorly of her . After all, people in these times were simple and unsophisticated . No one could stand someone like Zhang Xiaohui .
Given her situation, she would be in deep trouble if their suspicions were confirmed .
Then the entire brigade’s reputation would be affected . Wang Mingtao had not said anything so far, so everyone only speculated privately . Without proof, they would not say anything openly .
But they definitely detested Zhang Xiaohui .
Aunt Lin’s family was a big one and her husband had many brothers . She herself had several sons and no one in the brigade dared to offend them . Aunt Lin was hot-tempered and had a sharp tongue, but got on well with everyone in the brigade .
Zhang Xiaohui was unhappy that someone had scolded her . “I only shouted at my own child, I didn’t do anything to her . Hurry up and make your father come back . ”
Gu Qingyao looked innocent and said helplessly, “But, Elder Brother said that Father doesn’t have time now…”
“No, he must come back immediately . Otherwise, you wait and see how I deal with you!”
“Mother…”
“Go write a letter . He’s been gone for so long, does he still want his family or not? Let me tell you, he had better come back within the next few days . Do you hear me?”
Gu Qingyao was terrified when faced with the stormy-looking Zhang Xiaohui . She did not dare to say anything, but only looked at her timidly .
When she was done speaking, Zhang Xiaohui grunted coldly and left .
Gu Qingyao would not ask her father to come home immediately . Let Zhang Xiaohui wait awhile, until she was desperate .
The new year was almost here . Gu Qingyao began her preparations . Although her father’s matters were still unresolved, he must still celebrate the new year with them .
Mo Beihan still had not left and Gu Qingyao wondered about it . She was playing in the brigade that day, and happened to see Mo Beihan returning on his bicycle, bracing himself against the cold wind .

“Elder Brother Beihan!”
She hurried over . Mo Beihan smiled when he saw her . “Yao Yao, it’s so cold . Why aren’t you at home?”
“It’s such a sunny day that I came out to play! We’re all sunning ourselves and I’m making a quilted jacket for Xiaocao . ”
She looked at Mo Beihan and asked, “Elder Brother Beihan, is everything… alright with your job?”
He had said that he would be leaving soon, but that was a long time ago, and now it was almost the new year, but Mo Beihan was still here .
However, he seemed very busy of late, and often left the village . Sometimes she went for days without seeing him .
Mo Beihan laughed, “No need to worry . Nothing is wrong . I just received news that I don’t have to go back… for now . ”

He had some work to do here, so he did not have to go back for now .
Gu Qingyao was surprised to hear that!
She seldom asked about Mo Beihan’s work . In any case, she understood without asking that it was top secret .
“That’s great . Can you spend the new year at home?”
“Mhm!”
Gu Qingyao’s smile grew even brighter . She lowered her voice and said, “I’ve finished knitting your sweater . Come with me later and get it!”
Mo Beihan had been looking forward to this . “Okay!”

“Gu Qingyao!”
As they were talking, an infuriated Zhang Xiaohui came looking for her again .
Gu Qingyao had been lingering within the brigade for the last few days and was always surrounded by people . Zhang Xiaohui had looked for her several times and now she was here again .
“Where’s your father? Why isn’t he back yet?”
Zhang Xiaohui could barely wait any longer .
Gu Qingyao said, “I’ve already told you, Father is not coming back until the spring of next year!”
“Shut up . Make him come back immediately . Go now, do you hear me?”
As Zhang Xiaohui spoke, she rushed over and grabbed Gu Qingyao’s braids .
“Ah…”
