Chapter 51 Liuliu Plum
Li Jianguo's voice played on repeat over the loudspeaker at the intersection all morning, and the Hao and Gu families lost their appetite from listening to it.

Zhang Xiao thought sourly, "It's just that a few criminals were arrested, right?"

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Hmph, it's just that he was a bit lucky.

The Hao family closed their doors and windows. The three of them sat at the dining table, none of them speaking, but their expressions were not good.

Hao Liping gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment. Why was she still living so well when she had already taken Gu Yunshen away and kicked her out?

Although she was very unwilling, she had to admit that Xia Zhi's prospects at the military hospital were not bad.

But why did she stop farming and selling vegetables? Why did she take a different path from her previous life?

Even though she has been reborn, why is she still no match for her? Could it be that even the heavens are on her side?

Hao Dazhuang puffed on his pipe, his brows furrowed. If they hadn't fallen out before, the Hao family could have benefited from Xia Zhi's achievements, but now...

Hao Dazhuang smoked one cigarette after another, feeling somewhat regretful that he and the Gu family had kicked her out of the compound.

If she hadn't left the compound, she might never have had the chance to join the army.

Now, not only have I not gotten my revenge, I've even helped her.

Chen Xiuping looked at the two people in the house and finally sighed, "Liping, your brother will be back in a while."

Hao Liping's eyes lit up as she suddenly remembered something. Oh right, there was also her brother. Her brother used to hate Xia Zhi the most.

"Yeah, I got it, Mom."

Chen Xiuping glanced at her daughter and said, "Don't overthink it. Things are pretty good now. Just focus on selling vegetables and feeding your piglets."

She was already very happy that her daughter was growing up, after all, she had never even washed a single dish before, let alone worked in the fields; Xia Zhi had washed them all.

She is already very grateful that she can now work in the fields and sell vegetables.

Hao Liping gritted her teeth and nodded. This wasn't enough, and it was all too slow.

In her previous life, Xia Zhi was not like this. The vegetables she sold even supplied restaurants in the town, as did the pork, all of which were handled by a single company.

No, she couldn't rush things. Xia Zhi must have made her fortune through more than just selling vegetables; there must be other ways she could earn money, but unfortunately, she didn't know them.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to feed the pigs."

She got up and walked outside, then took some rotten vegetable leaves and threw them in.

Looking at the six little pigs inside, she suddenly felt less upset. Wait until the end of the year, and see how she gets her comeuppance!

The Gu family was also arguing at this time. Zhang Xiao was already holding back her anger, and when she was taking care of Gu Chonglin in the hospital, she had Lu Beiting, such a powerful figure, watching over her.

Then there's the need to take care of the old lady, who complains of leg pain every evening and asks her to boil water for her to soak her feet. And then there are the various matters concerning her son.

Seeing the books on Gu Yunshen's desk that hadn't been opened in a long time made her even angrier, because Hao Liping didn't even read books anymore, which really infuriated her.

"Gu Yunshen, where are you going again?" Zhang Xiao called out to Gu Yunshen, who had already reached the door.

Gu Yunshen turned to look at her, puzzled. "Mom, what's wrong with you so early in the morning? I'm definitely going to the vegetable garden to water it with manure."

Zhang Xiao pointed at him with trembling fingers, "How long has it been since you last looked at your books? The college entrance exam is coming back next year, can't you put your mind to it?"

For the past two years, he had been preparing for the college entrance examination, but why did things change the moment Hao Liping arrived? Gu Yun Shen frowned, glancing at the dusty books on the table. When was the last time he read a book?
A look of confusion flashed in his eyes; he couldn't recall it for the moment.

Zhang Xiao earnestly advised, "Yun Shen, do you really want all your hard work over the past few years to be ruined? The college entrance examination will be reinstated next year, and you'll be twenty-five by then. If you don't pass, how many years do you have left?"
"You're the only son in the Gu family. They all hope you can bring honor to the family. Don't do anything foolish."

As Zhang Xiao spoke, she started to cry. It was unclear whether she was crying about the grievances she had suffered recently or about her son's lack of ambition.

Gu Yunshen felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and quickly went over to comfort Zhang Xiao.

"Mom, don't be sad. I know I was wrong. I will study hard and make you proud."

Gu Yunshen felt a pang of regret as he reflected on the absurdity of the past few days. With the college entrance examination fast approaching, he had actually squandered his time with Hao Liping.

Hao Liping said he was sure he could get into university, but he doesn't read books or study, so how could he possibly get in?

"Mom, I really know I was wrong."

Zhang Xiao nodded and held his hands. "Yun Shen, you're going to university. If Hao Liping really liked you, she wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to delay your studies."

You guys...should have a proper discussion."

She had originally intended to call off the marriage, but everyone already knew about it, and the date had been set. They were just waiting for the head of the household to recover from his injury so they could discuss other matters.

If you back out now, that would be considered hooliganism!
Thinking of this, she instantly dismissed the absurd idea from her mind.

Gu Yun Shen nodded, his mind involuntarily recalling the time when Xia Zhi was around. She never seemed to bother him, only asking if he was tired, or if she needed anything to take with her when she went to town.

She was always very sensible, and all she ever said was that he should study hard and get into a good university.

And what about Hao Liping?
They either make him farm, or they make him sell vegetables, and now they want him to help raise pigs.

Gu Yunshen frowned, then stood up. "Mom, you rest for a while. I'll go talk to Liping about it."

As he spoke, Gu Yun Shen walked outside and quickly found Hao Li Ping next to the pigsty.

"Liping, I have something I want to tell you."

Hao Liping turned around when she heard Gu Yunshen's voice. "Brother Yunshen, what's wrong?"

Gu Yun Shen frowned, thought for a moment, and finally looked at her and said.

"Liping, I won't farm and sell vegetables with you until the college entrance exam. I'm going to study hard and try to get into a good university so that I can give you a good future."

As Gu Yunshen spoke, he took her hand and looked at her with deep affection. Hao Liping loved him so much that she was willing to bear the infamy for him, so she would definitely understand him.

Hao Liping was touched by his last sentence, and after thinking about it, she could understand. She then nodded understandingly.

"Brother Yun Shen, do well on your college entrance exam." Hao Liping leaned against him, looking at him with the same affection.

"Yes, Liping, you're so amazing, I believe you can do even better than Xia Zhi."

Hao Liping immediately perked up upon hearing this, "Of course! Xia Zhi just got lucky and joined the army. Once you get into university and I become the boss's wife, she'll be jealous."

When Gu Yun Shen heard her say that, the image of Xia Zhi that he had seen yesterday flashed through his mind. She seemed to be even more beautiful than before, much fairer and plumper, with a charming yet cute look.

How come he never noticed before that Xia Zhi is actually not ugly at all?
