Liu Baoliang was actually quite surprised as to why the big shots from the capital came to him to find out about the Gu family.
After all, later, my aunt and his family moved to the city, and the incident involving fighting for school places completely severed the friendship between the two families.
Moreover, Liu Baoliang had an intuition that when the other party came to see them, he obviously knew that their family had a bad relationship with his aunt's family.
Although, he couldn't tell why.
However, he didn't take it to heart at the time. Later, a big shot from the capital went to talk to grandma again. What the two talked about is unknown to outsiders. But after the big shot left, grandma was confused for many days.
Some people do not think about Shu and are in a trance.
She even refused to accept the twenty yuan that her aunt sent her every month.
But, I kept crying over the twenty dollars.
Things and details that he didn't pay attention to before were all magnified at this moment. Even though Liu Baoliang was pampered by his family for many years and became a fool, he failed to get into a good technical secondary school and came out to work these days.
In the past year, I have made a lot of progress.
It is no longer like three years ago when I came to the Gu family and showed my teeth and claws, as if I am the best in the world. I am the Liu family's precious egg. You, Gu Ning, are just a girl. You must give me your place in the Textile Factory High School.
of virtue.
That's why Liu Baoliang asked this question.
The question was once again thrown to Niu Erni.
Liu Baoliang understood that if they didn't speak clearly today, I'm afraid Gu Ning and the others wouldn't agree to their conditions.
Niu Erni originally didn't want to reveal her trump card so soon, but she couldn't bear that her son had already asked. She sighed and felt that she had indeed failed to teach the child well.
Look at Gu Ning, even if they are in a bad position, the other party is still very confident and can feed and accommodate them steadily.
Looking at Baoliang.
Forget it.
At this moment, Niu Erni finally understood one thing. No matter how much she said that Baoliang was excellent and that he was much better than Yatou Pianzi, he still couldn't compare to Gu Ning.
There is no comparison between the two people.
Otherwise, the top scorer in the college entrance examination would be Bao Liang, not Gu Ning.
After thinking through all these levels, Niu Erni no longer planned to take Qiao. She raised her head, with a hint of complexity on her usually fierce face, "Let's go into the room and talk about it. I think you don't want to let outsiders know some things."
Heard.”
The moment the mother and son came here, many neighbors came to look at them.
They all live in the same alley, and if the daughter of the host family gets married or the son of the west family has a date, it will be known to everyone in almost noon.
This will be no exception.
From the moment Gu Ning guarded the door and confronted Niu Erni, many people came to watch the excitement.
Gu Ning raised his eyelids and paused for a moment on Niu Erni's face. When he really didn't see the other party playing tricks, he then turned to the neighbors and said, "Uncle and aunt, I have some things to do at home, so I went into the house first.
Chat back."
In a word, it not only cleans up the people, but also does not offend anyone.
Seeing this scene, Niu Erni sighed, otherwise, the difference is huge.
Looking at Liu Baoliang, who was following behind with his head lowered, she became more and more disappointed.
Compared with the timid Baoliang now, she still likes the lawless Baoliang before. At least that Baoliang dared to do anything and could do anything.
Not like now.
Even when he came to Gu's house, he didn't even dare to open the door, let alone come in.
A group of people entered the house.
Gu Ning and Liu Shuzhen exchanged glances. Liu Shuzhen thought for a while and went to the green refrigerator that was half a person tall by the wall in the main room and took out two bottles of soda. The glass bottle of soda she just took out was still stained with stains.
A layer of white frost mist condensed into crystal clear beads.
It looks very appetizing.
In this kind of autumn weather, his whole body was already unbearably hot. Seeing this soda, Liu Baoliang swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
Liu Shuzhen was soft-hearted after all. She took the bottle opener, opened a bottle, and handed it to Liu Baoliang, "Baoliang, are you thirsty?"
"Take it and drink it first."
Liu Baoliang snorted and took it without hesitation.
When it was Niu Erni's turn, she swallowed, but when she saw the refrigerator with the green door, she felt a little uncomfortable, "I'm not thirsty, give it to Baoliang."
I think back then, my sister-in-law was so poor that she couldn't even afford to buy books to take her children to school.
At that time, she had a little money, so she would buy some sugar for her children every once in a while. When it was time to celebrate the New Year, she would go out and buy a pack of peach cakes.
Every time, when it was their turn to pay New Year greetings, Gu Ning and his siblings would all drool with greed when they saw Baoliang eating peach cakes and candies.
How many years have passed now.
My sister-in-law's house can afford a refrigerator, and she can drink soda freely. Their house is still in the same mud-tiled house, and nothing has changed.
Not to mention the refrigerator, she was reluctant to spend 20 cents on a bottle of soda.
As for why this happened, it was because the two children at home had grown up, and Baoliang wanted to marry a wife. All the families in the same brigade had to build houses with red bricks and tiles to get a wife, but their house was still a mud-tile house. This also led to
, people from all over the country would not like their family.
Not to mention, Baoliang was raised as a child by them and was not allowed to work in the fields. This also led to the fact that Liu Baoliang was in his early twenties, could not do farm work, and did not have a formal job in the city.
, doing odd jobs every day.
You can make money doing work such as building water conservancy bases, but Liu Baoliang has no energy, so people don't want him for this kind of work.
Over the past few years, Liu Baoliang's reputation has gradually declined.
Isn't it like this in the countryside? You can't farm, there are no jobs in the city, and no one wants to do odd jobs. Who dares to marry their daughter to such a family?
It's not that Niu Erni is really anxious, so she plans to use the big secret hidden by her mother-in-law to exchange terms with her sister-in-law and her family.
However, when she saw that her sister-in-law's family was in such good conditions, she felt wrong.
When Liu Shuzhen heard what her sister-in-law said, she was a little surprised and a little complicated. This sister-in-law of hers, hey.
She thought about it for a while, finally relented, opened the bottle and handed it to her, "If Baoliang wants to drink it, and, among other things, a bottle of soda, I can still afford it."
As for wanting something else, Liu Shuzhen felt that it was impossible to put forward the conditions for the lion to open its mouth.
This time, Niu Erni no longer postponed, she just held the soda in her arms and started drinking it. The sour, sweet, and cold soda suppressed all the dryness in her body.
Gu Jing watched them quietly, and did not stop her mother Liu Shuzhen from getting them sodas.
One thing she understands is that too much is never enough.
Although the two parties have broken off contact, in the eyes of her mother Liu Shuzhen, the Liu family is her natal family after all. When she was living the most difficult and difficult time, her natal family really could not help her.
Although, when I helped her, I also said a lot of sarcastic words and suffered a lot of grievances.
But if you help, you help.
She always remembered this sentiment.
"After you finish drinking, can you talk?"
Gu Ning moved a chair and sat down, speaking calmly.
This sudden sound made Niu Erni burp subconsciously, and the soda shot up into the sky. She panicked for a moment, but she soon understood what Gu Ning meant.
Niu Erni put down the soda bottle and glanced at Liu Shuzhen, "I'll tell you a secret and give Baoliang a chance to work in the city, in any factory in Anzhou City."
Before Gu Ning refused, she promised, "It doesn't require a formal establishment, even a temporary job is fine. Moreover, I can guarantee and swear that this secret is worth the conditions."
Gu Ning pinched her fingers, and a warmth came from the soft fingertips. She thought about it and weighed the pros and cons.
With her current status and that of the An family, it is not difficult to force a temporary worker into the factory.
Gu Ning thought for a moment, "You tell me first, I will arrange a job for Liu Baoliang based on the secret you told me. If the secret is big enough and enough to satisfy me, a formal job is not impossible."
These words made Niu Erni and Liu Baoliang's eyes light up, and they immediately stared at Gu Ning.
With a job, Liu Baoliang can marry a wife.
This is almost the heart of their whole family.
"Mom, please tell Gu Ning quickly."
Liu Baoliang pulled Niu Erni's sleeve and urged.
Niu Erni stopped fetching Qiao. She glanced at Liu Shuzhen and said, "Shuzhen, we are not from the Liu family."
Finally, the secret was revealed.
These words made the room instantly quiet.
Liu Shuzhen was a little confused, but Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat. She was holding the chair with her hands. Her fingers were particularly beautiful. Their fingers were as slender as jade, forming a sharp contrast on the old mahogany chair.
At this moment, her hands and fingers were tightly grasping the chair, somewhat revealing her emotional tension.
However, her face remained calm, with just the right question, "Oh? What do you mean by that? You have said it many times before that my mother is not from the Liu family."
My eldest aunt Niu Erni is naturally possessive of the Liu family.
A long, long time ago, there was a saying that the daughter who gets married is no longer a member of the Liu family, but a member of the Gu family.
Now, what does the other party mean when he mentions this matter again?
Niu Erni was anxious. She stood up in a panic and explained, "It's different. I used to say that your mother was not a member of the Liu family. That was just an angry comment. I was angry that your mother often brought you morons back to the old Liu family to catch the autumn breeze.
.”
After saying this, I felt that something was wrong. Now she was asking for help at home. How could she look like she was coming to ask for help at home?
Niu Erni hurriedly changed her words, slapped herself twice, and said gently, "Look at my broken mouth, what did I say?"
"Gu Ning, you are a smart person. You should know that I will not joke with you with such words. I said that Shuzhen is not from the Liu family. I mean it literally without any personal feelings. She is not from the Liu family.
, she and our Wanda are not biological siblings."
this--
The room suddenly became quiet, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Liu Shuzhen's face was still a bit confused and confused, "I'm not from the Liu family? That's impossible."
Although her mother also favored her brother, he was good to her. In fact, her status in the Liu family was much better than that of other daughters in the production team.
Otherwise, her mother would not have agreed to her marrying the impoverished Gu Jianshe in the first place, and she would not have come to visit her with eggs after she gave birth.
Later, Yangyang was born weak and sick, Ningning went to school, and Yaoyao was adopted. All of this cost money, a lot of money.
Their family couldn't solve the problem. Their children couldn't study or buy books. It was Liu Shuzhen who went back to her parents' home to seek help from her mother.
Her sister-in-law said that she took the children back to play in the autumn breeze. In fact, this sentence was not wrong.
She was born with a cowardly temperament and was always bullied in the Gu family. She couldn't survive her life any longer, so she had no choice but to go back to her parents' home and ask her mother for help.
As for her request, even though her mother would roll her eyes, be disliked and scolded by her sister-in-law, in the end, her mother would always help her.
In Liu Shuzhen's opinion, what is this if not her biological daughter?
There are even many mothers who cannot do this with their biological daughters.
Therefore, over the years, even after experiencing Gu Jianshe's experience and not being a member of the Gu family, Liu Shuzhen never thought that she was not a member of the Liu family.
Because compared to Zhao Guihua and the others, her mother obviously loved her.
Faced with Liu Shuzhen's questioning, Niu Erni's face showed some sympathy and pity, "It's not like you don't know that mother, she has always been soft-hearted. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left her son and daughter alone after her husband died.
We grew up together, and in such difficult circumstances, she never thought of giving up on any of you."
"However, her soft-heartedness is her strength, and it is also her biggest weakness when you and Wanda grew up. Are you afraid that you have forgotten the days when you were bullied by the old Liu family?"
At this point, Niu Erni seemed to suddenly think of something, "By the way, if you don't believe what I said, you can go back and ask the Liu family."
Liu Shuzhen fell into memories and said subconsciously, "It's impossible. I am my father's posthumous daughter. Everyone knows this."
"Did that mother ever say that she couldn't keep the pregnant woman?"
"What?"
When Liu Shuzhen heard this, her eyes were split open. She subconsciously denied it, "It's impossible."
"You can ask your mother if it's true or not." Niu Erni sighed, "Shuzhen, I admit that I don't like you. That's my sister-in-law's natural dislike for my sister-in-law, but I won't use this kind of thing to trick you.
Not to mention, I still have a request from you, and under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t be so dizzy that I would do anything deceptive.”
"You can believe what I say about the next thing. If you don't believe it, let Gu Ning make the decision."
Niu Erni no longer looked at her cowardly sister-in-law, but looked at Gu Ning.
"The reason why I know this is because I heard a conversation between a big shot from the capital and my mother-in-law. The other person said that his mother lost a daughter back then, and the lost daughter happened to be picked up by my mother-in-law."
