Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 293: Tragic Life After Marriage (2)

“Mother…” The two children looked at their mother with teary eyes. They knew that they would not be seeing their parents and elder brother for a long time.

Fang Ling was crying hard. But she had no choice. She had to leave.

The children stayed at home while Gu Yunshen borrowed the brigade’s ox cart and sent Fang Ling to the train station. Fang Ling cried all the way there.

Gu Qingyao sat next to her in silence, just keeping her company.

She knew that nothing she said would be of any use. She might as well allow her to vent.

Once Fang Ling left, Gu Qingyao went to the black market as usual, and also looked for Chen Jin. She had gone to the town very frequently as of late, to exchange as much of her goods as possible for cash.

Most of those seeking food in the black market were short of food. Her actions also would save their lives. A lot of food passed through Gu Qingyao’s hands during this period.

Besides that, she also sold many rare commodities to some rich people.

Gu Yunshen knew that his daughter had things to do. He had objected at first, but as time went by, he realized that he could not stop her. He had no choice but to let her have her way.

“Be careful!” Gu Yunshen exhorted.

“Mhm!”

Gu Qingyao nodded compliantly. She went to the black market while her father went to the salvage station.

On March 22, Zhang Xiaohui married Wang Guozhu.

The news shocked the entire Qing River Brigade!

No one had expected a middle-aged divorcée like Zhang Xiaohui, who also had a daughter from her previous marriage, to suddenly marry and move to the city.

The city!

To many of the peasants, it was an unattainable dream!

Old Madam Zhang was extremely smug. She had already packed her luggage, and was ready to enjoy city life with her daughter.

The old lady looked at her eldest grandson, whom she doted on the most, and said, “Dabao! I’ve already packed your things. In two days time, you and I will move to the city. Your younger aunt is there and in the future, you will live with her. Then you will be a city dweller!”

Zhang Dabao clapped his hands with joy. He was already more than ten years old, but still acted like a small child.

“Great, great! Let’s go to the city, let’s go to the city, I want to live in the city!”

Old Madam Zhang’s face crinkled in a broad smile. Her eldest daughter-in-law was also over the moon.

But Zhang Xiaohui, who had agreed to all this, was utterly shocked when she entered the Wang house.

She looked at the cramped rooms, then looked at Wang Guozhu in disbelief. “This… is so small?”

Wang Guozhu’s expression stiffened. He had previously lived in a nice house because both he and Zhou Hong worked in the factory, and they were a couple.

But now that they were divorced, his house was naturally not as nice as his previous house. Because Zhou Hong also needed a house.

Zhou Hong was more senior than him in the workplace, and she had manipulated things so that she had gotten their original house. He had to move out with his parents.

Zhou Hong held a senior position and both she and Zhou Xiaoyu had city accounts. After the divorce, their child had gone with her.

But on his side, he was the only one with an account in the city. His parents had accounts in the village, so he had received a much smaller house. Also, Zhou Hong had internally undermined him, so the current house he had received was already pretty good.

He had not expected Zhou Hong to be so crafty.

The current house was only forty square meters. Wang Guozhu, Zhang Xiaohui, Gu Ruoqing, and Wang Guozhu’s parents all squeezed together in the house. There were three rooms and a living room, a kitchen and a toilet. The space was very cramped.
