Chapter 129: An Immediate Divorce (2)   He was shocked by his younger cousin’s extravagance.

Gu Jinlin said in amusement, “Have you suddenly made a fortune? Are you going to buy one for each of us? There are so many of us, how much money would you need?”

Gu Qingyao was tickled. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, you will definitely enjoy the best.”

Gu Jinlin: “...”

Gu Jinlin was forced to laugh. Actually, he did not know whether to laugh or to cry!

He took a small parcel from his suitcase and handed it to Gu Qingyao. “This is for you. I only managed to get a hold of this with great difficulty. A pity there’s not enough for a sweater. You keep it first and when I find more, I’ll mail it to you.”

Gu Qingyao opened the parcel to find about a kilogram of bright red fleece. It was brightly colored and very pretty!

It was sheep’s wool, which was a rare commodity. Often it could not be obtained even if one had the money.

Which was why Mo Beihan had insisted on buying all the pink and red wool when he found it in town the last time. They were so rare.

Gu Qingyao hugged the wool and smiled. Her heart was filled with warmth.

Her older cousins really doted on her!

“Thank you, Third Older Brother!”

Gu Jinlin patted her head. “No need to stand on ceremony with me.”

They were talking when they suddenly heard Zhang Xiaohui’s voice from outside. A mocking look flashed across Gu Qingyao’s eyes. She had really come over without delay.

She peeked outside. Whoa!

Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang had arrived. Gu Yunshen emerged from the room and looked at Zhang Xiaohui. He saw her subconscious gesture as she shielded her womb, and a derisive look flashed across his eyes.

Zhang Xiaohui showed no signs of guilt when she saw Gu Yunshen. In fact, she appeared very smug. She was about to become a city-dweller. In the future, a country bumpkin like Gu Yunshen could not compare with her. This thought exhilarated her.

“Gu Yunshen, I have something to say to you.”

Gu Yunshen showed no signs of surprise. He glanced at Gu Conghua and Wen Ruyu, who were standing behind him, and said, “Father, Mother, it’s too cold out here. Go back to your room! I’ll speak to her.”

Without giving the two older folks a chance to speak, he went directly to his room.

Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang exchanged glances, then followed Gu Yunshen to his room.

This room was usually occupied, and belonged to Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui, so it was slightly bigger. Instead of a bed, the room contained a heated clay bed.

The clay bed was long, and covered the entire wall on one side. Old boxes were placed on either side of the bed. There was also an old cabinet in the room, as well as a small table and four benches. The benches were quite small.

After all, the table was fairly small.

Besides that, there were some odds and ends in the corner. Everything was spick and spank, but compared to the city, it was a picture of abject poverty.

Actually, a close look would show that the blankets on the long clay bed were placed at the two ends. A careful observer would be able to tell that it was meant for two people to sleep on.

This room belonged to Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui, and the arrangement on the bed showed that the couple most probably slept at either end of the bed. And this was true.

Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui had never been together, even after all these years.

Zhang Xiaohui did not want to be together with Gu Yunshen, and often went to Gu Ruoqing’s room to stay with her daughter.

Both Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang looked disdainful when they saw a room like that.

Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang showed no sign of fear or guilt when confronting the offspring of a landlord. Zhang Xiaohui simply said, “Gu Yunshen, I want to divorce you.”

Gu Yunshen smiled. “Let’s hear your reasons.”
