Zhang Xiaohui jumped!
“Why are you shouting?”
Chen Goudan and Chen Xiaocao ignored her. They ran towards the brigade. From where they were, all they had to do was turn south, and they would reach a straight road lined with everyone’s houses. Chen Goudan ran down the road, towards Wang Mingtao’s home.
“Brigade leader, brigade leader, Aunt Zhang Xiaohui is back! Aunt Zhang Xiaohui is back...”
He was so loud that everyone in the area heard him. As he ran, almost everyone nearby heard it!
Zhang Xiaohui was back?
Everyone’s eyes brightened as they ran out to watch the show.
Zhang Xiaohui was still standing at the crossroads at the foot of the mountain. If she continued upwards, that would be the road to the Gu house.
Zhang Xiaohui frowned when she saw Chen Goudan running and shouting!
“That wild child must be crazy! What is he shouting about?”
After her recent experiences, Gu Ruoqing felt contemptuous of these uncouth children. She even looked down on Gu Qingyao, much less an orphan like Chen Goudan!
She pursed her lips and said disdainfully, “Who cares! He’s just a wild child that nobody wants. What does he matter? Mother, ignore him and let’s go home. I’m tired to death after traveling for such a long way. In a few days time, I shall certainly ask Father to buy me a bicycle.”
She had been eyeing Zhou Xiaoyu’s bicycle for a long time. Both she and Zhou Xiaoyu were her father’s daughters. So why should she not have a bicycle?
But Father had not bought her one, saying that he did not have bicycle coupons. So she still did not have a bicycle, and had no choice but to walk home.
Zhang Xiaohui smiled at her daughter and said, “Alright. Your father dotes on you so much, he will certainly buy you a bicycle. He’s so capable, not like this useless Gu family. Just wait and see! When he gets hold of bicycle coupons, he will certainly buy one for you.”
Gu Ruoqing thought about it and also became hopeful. “Um!”
The two of them started walking home.
By this time, almost everyone in the brigade had been alerted. They flocked over to see what was happening. When they reached the crossroads, they saw two figures halfway up the mountain, walking towards the Gu house. From afar, they looked like Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing.
Everyone’s eyes lit up and they quickly ran towards the Gu house.
“Zhang Xiaohui! Zhang Xiaohui...”
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were almost at the entrance of the Gu house when they heard the shouting. They turned to see a group of peoples running along the road below, heading towards them. What... what was going on?
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were shocked!
“Mother, what are these people doing?”
Gu Qingyao came out of the courtyard. When she saw Zhang Xiaohui, she immediately screamed, “Ah Ah... Mother, are you back? Wu wu wu you’re finally home wu wu wu... Grandfather, Grandma, Mother is back! Mother is back!”
Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu ran out. Gu Qingyao stood at the doorway waiting for the two of them to emerge, then she closed the courtyard door.
Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu’s expressions grew ugly when they saw the mother and daughter in their new clothes.
They had already guessed what had happened. To be honest, they were not bothered about this daughter-in-law. They even felt that it would be best if she really left.
But this situation was embarrassing for their family, especially their youngest son!
The two of them felt indebted to Gu Yunshen. With Zhang Xiaohui behaving like that, they wanted to get rid of her before the matter became widely known and their son was utterly embarrassed!
Gu Qingyao flung herself at her. “Mother, you’re finally home! This is wonderful. You’ve been gone for so many days, we were worried to death...”
Gu Qingyao flung herself at Zhang Xiaohui and grabbed her hand. She almost burrowed into Zhang Xiaohui’s arms.
But when she touched the watch on her wrist, Gu Qingyao immediately yelled loudly, “Wow! A watch!”
