Gu Qingyao frowned as she looked at the 109 yuan she had obtained .
She had looked forward to these circumstances because it meant that everyone’s lives were improving and there had been a bountiful harvest .
But to her, this was bad news!
She could no longer exchange food for much money, but she had far less cash than what she required .
She had so many goods in her interspace and they were at their most valuable now . If she kept them for later, they would not be worth as much .
Gu Qingyao bowed her head, thinking of how she could exchange more food and goods .
On the way home, Gu Qingyao was startled to see Gu Yunshuang!
“Yao Yao!”
Gu Yunshuang had been sitting by the roadside, waiting anxiously . When she saw Gu Qingyao return, she quickly stood up .
“Younger Aunt, let’s go home!”
Gu Yunshuang glanced behind her . There was no one!
Then she examined her . She was unharmed!
Gu Qingyao smiled . “Younger Aunt, don’t worry . I didn’t do much . It’s all right . Let’s go home!”
Gu Yunshuang did not know what to say . She thought that she would tell Fourth Brother about it when she got home .
So she nodded and said, “All right, let’s go home!”
After they reached home, Gu Yunshuang recounted the incident to Gu Yunshen . Strangely enough, Gu Yunshen did not seem surprised at all, as if he already knew all about it . He did not mention the problem that Gu Qingyao presented .
Also, he did not seek out Gu Qingyao to have a chat with her after the incident . Gu Yunshuang did not know what to say .
She carefully examined Gu Qingyao’s features, and thought about Gu Yunshen’s looks .
It was true that Gu Ruoqing did not look at all like Gu Yunshen . But she did look like Zhang Xiaohui .
Gu Qingyao did not look like Zhang Xiaohui at all, although she bore some resemblance to Gu Yunshen…
She was not ostracizing Gu Qingyao . After all, they had doted on her since she was young . No matter what, this had nothing to do with her .
But Gu Yunshen’s attitude had aroused her curiosity . Now that she had carefully examined their features, Gu Yunshuang looked away and did not mention the matter again .
Meanwhile, in town, Zhou Hong and Wang Guozhu negotiated for several days before Zhou Hong agreed to the divorce . However, she wanted Wang Guozhu to give Zhou Xiaoyu twenty yuan every month as part of her dowry .
Twenty yuan was approximately half of Wang Guozhu’s salary .
Wang Guozhu refused .
In the end, the two settled on fifteen yuan a month until Zhou Xiaoyu got married .
It was now the end of February .
It would soon be Zhou Xiaoyu’s birthday . Zhou Hong requested that they celebrate Zhou Xiaoyu’s birthday together before filing for divorce . Although Wang Guozhu did not wish to delay even a day longer, he agreed because it was just over ten days away .
When the agreement was settled, he immediately gave Zhang Xiaohui a definite date .
Although Zhang Xiaohui knew she could marry and move to the city the following month, her joy was greatly reduced .
Because her pregnancy was showing!
Meanwhile, in the Gu family, Eldest Aunt Fang Ling had returned from her parents’ home with her two children . Her job was not as important as that of her husband and eldest son, so she had applied for a longer period of leave . But Eldest Uncle, Gu Yunjing, and Eldest Cousin, Gu Jinye, had returned to their workplace .
Fang Ling could not bear to be parted with her children, so she lingered at her parents’ home with them .
Now that she had brought the children back to the Gu family, she had to leave . Her husband had written to her, asking her to hurry back as soon as possible . She knew that she was running out of time .
They were prepared so that even if they were demoted, they could remain together . But if she did not return now, then their future would be uncertain .
