New clothes!
These things were very precious in the eyes of the villagers. Everyone's clothes were old. Even many people in the city did not have new clothes to wear.
The older siblings would pass the clothes to the younger siblings and continue to pass them to the younger siblings. Otherwise, they would change the clothes to other clothes.
Even so, many children in the brigade did not have any clothes to wear!
Zhang Xiaohui actually bought new clothes for Gu Ruoqing? And she bought them in town?
Gu Qingyao's words revealed too much information. The more they listened, the more they felt that it was unreal!
When Old Madam Zhang heard that Zhang Xiaohui had bought new clothes for Gu Ruoqing but not for her grandchildren and her son, she was instantly enraged. "This heartless thing. She has the money to buy new clothes but she doesn't know how to show filial piety to me. Hurry and buy one for her brother, one for Da Bao, and me!"
Gu Qingyao was shocked!
"Grandmother, Father did not give us any money when he left. We have no money at home and no cloth coupons! Mother has no money … "
"Shut up! Where did she buy new clothes without money and coupons? "
Gu Qingyao was so frightened that she hid behind Wen Ruyu and did not dare to speak anymore.
Old Madam Zhang looked as if she was going to eat someone. Many children were afraid of her. This old woman was famous in the brigade for being difficult to deal with. It was normal for children to be afraid of her.
Gu Qingyao used to give people the impression that she was obedient and sensible. She was the kind of shy girl who did things quietly and did not speak much. Now that Old Madam Zhang had shouted at her a few times, it was normal for her to be scared to tears and not dare to speak.
Gu Qingyao did not dare to speak. Wen Ruyu saw that her precious granddaughter was so frightened and only protected Gu Qingyao. Her face was full of anger. However, she would not quarrel with Old Madam Zhang in front of so many people.
With her background, being careful was the way to go. Quarreling with someone like Old Madam Zhang would only bring trouble to herself.
Wen Ruyu tugged at her old man. Gu Chonghua also hated this family very much. He quickly packed up and left with Wen Ruyu and Gu Qingyao.
They had left, but the people around them started to talk about Zhang Xiaohui.
Where did she get the money?
Where did she get the cloth coupons?
Why did she go to town every day?
What did she do?
How do you live?
All of this was too suspicious!
However, Old Madam Zhang didn't realize anything. Zhang Jianguo cried loudly. She only cared about her son and kept scolding Zhang Xiaohui for not being filial to her.
This time, because of Zhang Jianguo's incident, Zhang Xiaohui's departure attracted the attention of the entire brigade. Not only the Qing River Brigade, but the Southern Lake Brigade and a few other brigades also began to pay attention.
This was because Zhang Xiaohui had left and hadn't returned for three days.
Of course, she did not return because Gu Qingyao had secretly gone to the town behind everyone's back. She had secretly let Wang Guozhu pick up a hundred dollars and then went to look for Zhang Xiaohui and let her pick up fifty dollars. Not only was there money, but there were also some coupons to ensure that Zhang Xiaohui could bring Gu Ruoqing around the town for a period of time.
Wang Guozhu wouldn't be lacking in coupons. Giving him enough money would be enough.
The two of them weren't so noble as to wait for the owner to come find them after they saw someone lose something. After they picked up the money, they immediately put it into their own pockets.
