Everyone believed Gu Qingyao.
Although there were many people in the Gu family who were earning a wage, they also had many children. Also, they were all away from their home, working hard for work points.
Among the Gu brothers, almost every family had two or three sons. Although the older ones were old enough to earn money, the younger ones still depended on their parents for support.
The adolescents ate them out of house and home. It was not easy to raise two boys – they needed a lot of food.
The older ones were of marriageable age, but weddings also cost money. It was normal that they were scrimping and saving.
By that logic, Gu Yunshen who lived at home, and only had daughters, just needed enough to eat. He really did not spend much.
Also, the villagers had food points. Although they had very little money, and in fact, many households had no money at all, all they needed was food.
Gu Yunshen would be a fool to give money to a never-do-well like Zhang Xiaohui.
So where had her money come from?
It was currently the slack period. At the moment, everyone in the brigade was talking about Zhang Xiaohui. When the Gu family went over to Wang Mingtao’s house, many people also came over to check out the situation, and they all heard Mo Beihan’s words.
Mo Beihan frowned and said, “Impossible! It was definitely your mother. She was coming out of a department store. How could she possibly buy so many things without money? She’s been away for so long, how can she survive if she has no cash?”
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. “In any case, Father could not possibly have any money to give her. He knows that my older cousins are preparing to get married. When he left, he even brought what little money he had saved to give to them. It was all money that my older uncles and cousins sent back previously.”
No one would question Mo Beihan’s word. If he said that he had seen Zhang Xiaohui shopping in the city, then she was definitely shopping in the city. Clearly, something had happened to this woman.
If a woman was away all day and even had money to shop, she must not only have cash, but also coupons!
The Zhang family did not have many relatives outside the village. Considering the circumstances, things did not look good.
The Gu family’s expressions turned ugly, but they did not say anything.
Everyone knew what was going on. They also remained silent when they saw the Gu family’s expression.
Gu Conghua said, “Brigade leader, it’s getting late. We’ll… be going now!”
Mo Beihan left with them.
No one said a word as they watched the Gu family leave. Their eyes were filled with sympathy.
Mo Beihan sent Gu Qingyao all the way home. As he looked at the young girl beside him, he could tell that she was not sorry at all.
Mo Beihan’s lips twitched. “Have a good rest when you get back. Don’t think too much. If you need anything, remember to tell me and I’ll help you solve your problem.
“Your older cousins and I know many people, so it’s easy for us to get things done. Understand?”
He spoke gently and dotingly as if coaxing a child.
Gu Qingyao stopped and tilted her head to look at him. “Elder Brother Beihan…”
“Hmm?”
“I… My mother doesn’t like me or my father. Actually, I know my mother will leave, sooner or later. So… if she really leaves, I won’t be sad.”
Mo Beihan’s lips twitched. “Yao Yao, actually… you really hope your mother will leave your father, right?”
Gu Qingyao stiffened!
Mo Beihan dotingly patted her head. “No need to explain to me. Anyway, I’ll listen to you and do whatever you want. Alright?”
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips and gazed at him silently.
Mo Beihan’s delight grew. The more certain he was that this girl had also been reborn, the more he rejoiced.
