Chapter 214: Borrowing Grain

Lv Guodong felt very aggrieved. In his dream, when Gu Lingling heard him say he wanted to take her away, she was so happy.

Why did she become so cold in reality?

She even looked at him as if he were an enemy.

Why?

Clearly, when he took her away, she was so happy and excited.

The dream was so realistic that Lv Guodong still couldn’t tell whether he was in a dream or back in reality.

He could only stare blankly at Gu Lingling’s departing figure.

"Where did it all go wrong?" Lv Guodong frowned, the pain in his arm making him slightly more awake.

"If you don’t want to go, then don’t go, why be so fierce?" he muttered softly, but didn’t dare to step forward again.

Gu Lingling felt that she had the worst luck today. Her good mood after returning from the army was completely ruined by Lv Guodong’s antics.

What a scumbag!

Go to Haidu? Why doesn’t he just fly up to the sky!

"Why are they here?" Gu Lingling asked Old Sir Gu softly.

The ’they’ referred to Gu Lingling’s uncle, Gu Chunli, and her cousin, Gu Zhouzhu.

Since her rebirth, it had been more than half a year, but this was the first time her uncle had come back. The saying goes that people don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall without a reason, and Gu Lingling didn’t believe her uncle came just to see Grandpa.

Otherwise, with the fuss over dividing the family assets a few days ago, he would have come back a long time ago.

"We don’t have enough food ourselves. During the last family division, most of the food was taken over to their side." Gu Chunhai’s face didn’t look good.

This younger brother not only took their father’s job, but after getting married, he never even returned home, practically becoming a live-in husband elsewhere.

Gu Chunhai wouldn’t have minded if he didn’t mention it, but couldn’t he at least visit the seniors during the holidays?

Okay, he never showed his face at all.

And now he comes back just to ask for grain.

Did their grain get blown in by the wind? Besides, it’s already winter, and this food has to last until next year, who has extra grain to spare?

"Second brother, just lend me a little, the family is about to run out of food to cook." Gu Chunli said pitifully, "Your family has only three people, but we have a whole family."

Gu Lingling was so amused by her own uncle’s words that she laughed.

"Uncle, it’s true our family has three people, but how is it that your family is suddenly a whole big family? You, Aunt, and Cousin make three as well, don’t they?"

"Uncle, you shouldn’t bully me just because I can’t count numbers."

Gu Chunli was at a loss for words.

By ’a whole family’, he naturally meant his wife Liu Xiufeng’s extended family.

If it weren’t for such a large family, they would have just three people. He and Liu Xiufeng both had jobs, so they should be living well. How could they possibly be short on grain?

"Uncle, we really don’t have any grain to lend you." Gu Lingling’s eyes turned, "But I know who has grain."

"Who?" Gu Chunli’s eyes lit up.

"My aunt’s family," Gu Lingling counted on her fingers as she analyzed for Gu Chunli, "You see, when Aunt left, she took most of the grain from our house, and their family is also three people."

"And Aunt is now working at the transformer factory. Not only does she have a salary, but Brother Haojun also has a monthly stipend."

"And Grandma, she has half of Grandpa’s pension."

"They are all women, and women don’t eat as much as men do."

When Gu Lingling put it that way, Gu Chunli thought it made sense.

Gu Zhouzhu’s eyes darted around, and he sneaked out when no one was looking.
