He was shocked by his younger cousin’s extravagance .
Gu Jinlin said in amusement, “Have you suddenly made a fortune? Are you going to buy one for each of us? There are so many of us, how much money would you need?”
Gu Qingyao was tickled . “Don’t worry . As long as I’m around, you will definitely enjoy the best . ”
Gu Jinlin: “…”
Gu Jinlin was forced to laugh . Actually, he did not know whether to laugh or to cry!
He took a small parcel from his suitcase and handed it to Gu Qingyao . “This is for you . I only managed to get a hold of this with great difficulty . A pity there’s not enough for a sweater . You keep it first and when I find more, I’ll mail it to you . ”
Gu Qingyao opened the parcel to find about a kilogram of bright red fleece . It was brightly colored and very pretty!
It was sheep’s wool, which was a rare commodity . Often it could not be obtained even if one had the money .
Which was why Mo Beihan had insisted on buying all the pink and red wool when he found it in town the last time . They were so rare .
Gu Qingyao hugged the wool and smiled . Her heart was filled with warmth .
Her older cousins really doted on her!
“Thank you, Third Older Brother!”
Gu Jinlin patted her head . “No need to stand on ceremony with me . ”
They were talking when they suddenly heard Zhang Xiaohui’s voice from outside . A mocking look flashed across Gu Qingyao’s eyes . She had really come over without delay .
She peeked outside . Whoa!
Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang had arrived . Gu Yunshen emerged from the room and looked at Zhang Xiaohui . He saw her subconscious gesture as she shielded her womb, and a derisive look flashed across his eyes .
Zhang Xiaohui showed no signs of guilt when she saw Gu Yunshen . In fact, she appeared very smug . She was about to become a city-dweller . In the future, a country bumpkin like Gu Yunshen could not compare with her . This thought exhilarated her .
“Gu Yunshen, I have something to say to you . ”
Gu Yunshen showed no signs of surprise . He glanced at Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu, who were standing behind him, and said, “Father, Mother, it’s too cold out here . Go back to your room! I’ll speak to her . ”
Without giving the two older folks a chance to speak, he went directly to his room .
Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang exchanged glances, then followed Gu Yunshen to his room .
This room was usually occupied, and belonged to Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui, so it was slightly bigger . Instead of a bed, the room contained a heated clay bed .
The clay bed was long, and covered the entire wall on one side . Old boxes were placed on either side of the bed . There was also an old cabinet in the room, as well as a small table and four benches . The benches were quite small .
After all, the table was fairly small .
Besides that, there were some odds and ends in the corner . Everything was spick and spank, but compared to the city, it was a picture of abject poverty .
Actually, a close look would show that the blankets on the long clay bed were placed at the two ends . A careful observer would be able to tell that it was meant for two people to sleep on .
This room belonged to Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui, and the arrangement on the bed showed that the couple most probably slept at either end of the bed . And this was true .
Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui had never been together, even after all these years .
Zhang Xiaohui did not want to be together with Gu Yunshen, and often went to Gu Ruoqing’s room to stay with her daughter .
Both Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang looked disdainful when they saw a room like that .
Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang showed no sign of fear or guilt when confronting the offspring of a landlord . Zhang Xiaohui simply said, “Gu Yunshen, I want to divorce you . ”
Gu Yunshen smiled . “Let’s hear your reasons . ”
