Chapter 309: Misfortune Befalls The Wang Family (2)

It made sense. Wang Guozhu had divorced his wife from the city and married a middle-aged peasant woman, Zhang Xiaohui. He had even allowed Zhang Xiaohui to bring along Gu Ruoqing, a child from her previous marriage, to live together in the city. He had also promised to find work for Gu Ruoqing. He had truly treated Zhang Xiaohui very well.

He would only do this if he really loved her.

Sun Mei and the others did not know that Gu Ruoqing was Wang Guozhu’s daughter. They assumed that Gu Ruoqing had no connection to the Wang family!

In these circumstances, it was normal that the two older folks from the Wang family disliked Gu Ruoqing, and disliked how Wang Guozhu was so good to Zhang Xiaohui.

It was understandable that Zhang Xiaohui had asked Gu Ruoqing to put up a good show of being diligent to please the two older folks.

In any case, she did not do much in the countryside. She just carried a basket and dug for wild vegetables and did other easy tasks like that. It was no big deal.

Once Sun Mei understood, she immediately said, “Don’t bother with the likes of her. What does she know? I bet she was desperately jealous when she saw you leave for the city. But what about her? She’s still farming here in the countryside!”

Gu Ruoqing immediately smiled, “Whatever. My father will be promoted soon. Then not only can I work in the town’s factory, but I might even be able to work in the city! Gu Qingyao cannot compare to me.”

Sun Mei and Chen Honghua were shocked!

“Really? Qing Qing, your father is going to be promoted to the city?”

Gu Ruoqing smiled and said, “As for that! Nothing is certain! I… I’m not sure, ha ha!”

To Sun Mei and Chen Honghua, her expression indicated that it was true and they had received some news. They understood!

So all of them treated Gu Ruoqing even more warmly. In the afternoon, Sun Mei, Chen Honghua and Liu Zao fought over who would invite Gu Ruoqing home for a meal. At last, Chen Honghua lost and Gu Ruoqing went to the Sun family.

At Sun Mei’s request, the Sun family had made a particularly hearty lunch. They had fried some bacon and cooked a fish.

When Gu Ruoqing saw the Sun family’s lunch, she felt that she must build good relationships with Sun Mei.

That night, Gu Ruoqing remained with the Sun family for dinner. Chen Honghua panicked and hurriedly cooked two eggs at home and sent them over to Gu Ruoqing.

When Gu Ruoqing left in the evening, Sun Mei saw her off. Chen Honghua followed and stuffed the eggs in Gu Ruoqing’s hand.

Gu Ruoqing did not refuse. She just smiled and accepted them.

The Sun family had given her two meat buns and a fish to cook when she got home. She did not care much about the two eggs.

But it was better than nothing.

Gu Qingyao went down the hill to Chen Feng’s house to give him some things. She saw it all.

When Chen Feng saw Gu Ruoqing’s smug expression, he said to Gu Qingyao, who was next to him, “Elder Sister Gu, she’s been very smug as of late. She told those girls that her father is about to be promoted and will be transferred to the city, and he can also get all of them jobs in the city’s factory. They’ve been fawning on her lately and more and more people want to curry favor with her.”

Chen Feng had always been grateful to Gu Qingyao. He had lived independently for the past half a year and was no longer the Chen Goudan of the past. He had matured.

Gu Ruoqing had been very arrogant lately and Chen Feng had kept an eye on her.

Gu Qingyao narrowed her eyes. This was her enemy. Even if she did well in this life, she would never forget how Gu Ruoqing and her mother had framed her in her previous life.

Chen Feng reminded her, “Elder Sister Gu, you had better beware. Gu Ruoqing can’t stand you and those girls might try to make trouble for you in order to curry favor with her. You had better be careful!”
