Chapter 285: Finding the Old Lady
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After dinner, the Gu Zi family departed by car. The village roads were narrow, causing them to drive slowly. The villagers they encountered along the way often greeted them. Despite the encroaching darkness, the journey was lively.
The inhabitants of Little Lin village were now envious of the Lin family’s fortune. Lin Laoyao’s wife was stopped on her way home by the villagers, who praised Gu Zi and the Lin family’s good fortune.
A seed of jealousy had long since taken root in her heart, and now it was like a sharp sword, causing her great pain.
There were those with malicious intent who pointedly asked, “They didn’t invite you to the wedding or the reception; have your families really cut ties?”
Lin Laoyao’s wife let out an unpleasant laugh, hands on her hips, she retorted,
“Even if brothers fight and break bones, they’re still connected by tendons.
How could we possibly cut ties? That’s absolutely impossible!”
They’ve become wealthy and no longer want to acknowledge their relatives, aiming to stand alone at the top!
She would not allow the Lin Lao’er’s family to cast them aside so easily.
She needed to devise a plan to make Lin Lao’er’s family show some respect to the old grandmother. The grandmother loved her youngest son the most, so wouldn’t her family benefit in the end? She would let the grandmother take the lead, and Lin Lao’er’s family would have no choice but to comply!
With these thoughts in mind, she turned on her heels and headed home, abandoning her original plan to buy salt at the supply and marketing cooperative. She would take her husband, Lin Laoyao, to see the old lady that very night and incite her to make a fuss…
Upon returning home, Gu Zi first went to the kitchen to prepare some food for Big Yellow. As she poured the food, Big Yellow wagged its tail and rubbed against her, its dark eyes brimming with affection as if to say, “My mother, you truly are my mother!”
Gu Zi squatted down to pet it, saying, “Good Big Yellow, eat quickly while it’s hot!”
When Gu Zi entered the house and saw Le Le playing happily with her father and brothers, she left them be and went upstairs to take a bath.
After her bath, she didn’t rush downstairs. Su Le was often taken care of by Su Shen and his family, so taking care of Su Le was relatively easy for Gu Zi.
She went to the room where Su Shen used to live and took out the suitcase she had brought from the Gu family’s home to organize it. Since half of it was filled with autumn and winter clothes, she took this opportunity to sort them out and put them in the cupboard.
After emptying the suitcase, she felt something unusual in the cotton cloth layer.
Gu Zi found it strange. In the original owner’s memory, she couldn’t recall placing anything in the layer.
However, Gu Zi remembered that this suitcase was specifically bought by the original owner for college. But when she decided to prepare for her marriage to Gong Zhan, she gave up on her studies and the suitcase was left unused.
When Gu Zi took over, she had decided to bring this suitcase to the countryside because she felt that it was bought with the money the original owner earned as a broadcaster, so it was only right to take it..
