Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 349 The Poor Educated Youth Forced to Go to the Countryside 21

"Gu Qian?" Li Jianguo looked at Zhang Ailan with hesitation, and then denied her idea.

"Impossible. We saw the money last night when we were packing up Jianjun's things. It must have been gone this morning when we sent Jianjun off. That damn girl also has to go to the countryside. How could she have the time to come here?"

"Then... who is that?" Zhang Ailan knew in her heart that it was unlikely to be Gu Qian. She lived in a guesthouse, which was quite far away from them.

Besides, it’s impossible that no one noticed Gu Qian coming here and didn’t tell them.

Moreover, when she was plotting against them, Li Jianguo had asked her to change the door lock. Now the door lock was not broken at all, so it was impossible that it was an outsider like Gu Qian.

It could only be...

"Old Li, no, it can't be the Iron Man!" Zhang Ailan said tremblingly.

"What!" Li Jianguo's heart skipped a beat and he immediately understood what Zhang Ailan was talking about.

The two looked at each other and could see despair, anger and disappointment in each other's eyes.

"He didn't leave us anything at all. Does he hate us so much? Does he hate us so much that he wants us to die?!" Li Jianguo clenched his fists and slammed the table hard.

Zhang Ailan was crying with her hands covering her face. The last bit of money they had was just taken away by Li Tiemin.

Now, they are really penniless.

Even the food and daily necessities at home were taken away by him. What will they eat these days?

"Old Li, should we... report it to the police station?"

Li Jianguo closed his red eyes and tried to calm himself, but the rise and fall of his chest showed that he was not at peace.

"What are you reporting? Do we really have to arrest our own son? What will those people say then? I, Li Jianguo, have a son who is a thief. He stole our family's money, and we arrested him with our own hands?"

Li Jianguo growled in a low voice: "Jianjun will come back one day. Does he have to have a brother who has been in prison?"

He took a deep breath and continued, "Go, write him a letter and ask him to send all the money back. If he doesn't, we will cut off all ties with him!"

"Okay..." Zhang Ailan said with a sob, and went to find a pen and paper. Just as she was about to write, Li Jianguo snatched it away.

"I come!"

In just a few minutes, a letter full of condemnation and criticism was written.

The two supported each other, borrowed money from their neighbors, and went to the post office to mail the letter.

Because the place that Li Jianguo and Zhang Ailan reported to Li Tiemin for going to the countryside was in a relatively wealthy brigade in Lin Province, Li Tiemin and Xin arrived almost at the same time.

On the second day after going to the countryside, Li Tiemin, who had just finished farm work and was still getting his feet hit by a hoe in the field, received a letter from his parents.

It is undeniable that when he first received the letter and found out that it was sent by his parents, he was really happy and excited. This happiness and excitement covered up the little doubts in his heart, and at the same time eased his emotions that were affected by various unfortunate things along the way.

However, when he opened the letter and read the first sentence, he froze as if struck by lightning.

Li Tiemin's hands were shaking slightly. He never expected that the letter he was waiting for would be like this.

The letter papers made a slight rustling sound in his hands. The educated youth who went to the countryside with him looked at him curiously, but was frightened by his almost desperate look.

"Dad, Mom...why do you treat me like this?" Li Tiemin murmured to himself.

He knew he had done something wrong by taking the money from home, but it was only a few hundred yuan, not all the money in the house as they said.

The letter was full of anger and accusations, like a sharp blade piercing his heart.

They thus identified themselves as a thief and did not give him any chance to defend himself.

He slumped to the ground, his mind blank.

After a long while, he slowly stood up as if he had made some kind of decision.

"In that case, I will do something good here and show you that I am not a worthless thief."

----------

Seeing this, Gu Qian felt very happy.

"Tsk, this broken relationship will break at the slightest touch."

The next morning, Gu Qian put on a straw hat and sleeves and walked out of the space. As soon as he removed the barrier, he heard the bell sound outside that was characteristic of the times.

She walked out of the house and saw Xia Fangli washing up, waiting by the side.

"Qianqian, I'm fine, let's go!"

Looking at Xia Fangli's clothes and pants, which looked like they were made of good material, he asked, "Why are you wearing this? What if it gets dirty and you can't wash it clean? Also, the sun will be very hot at noon, so why don't you wear a hat?"

Xia Fangli sighed, leaned close to Gu Qian's ear and said, "This is the worst material I brought. My parents felt sorry for me going to the countryside, so they bought me good things."

"Then you can wear a hat and sleeves like me. The clothes don't matter. Just don't get sunburned."

"I'll go look for it." After saying that, Xia Fangli turned around and walked back.

Gu Qian quickly grabbed her and said, "How long will it take you to find it? The time is almost up. Forget it, wait a minute. I bought two sets to use alternately. I'll bring them to you and you can use them first."

"Okay, thank you Qianqian."

After Gu Qian brought the things to Xia Fangli and asked her to put them on, the two of them walked towards the team together.

The road was full of villagers and educated youth heading that way.

After arriving at the place and standing still, the team leader Zhao Pengfei first gave a passionate encouragement, then got down to business and began to assign tasks.

Gu Qian and Xia Fangli were assigned to weed the fields. The task was not difficult, but it was a bit tiring having to bend over all the time.

They followed the skilled people to the fields and listened to their farming experiences along the way.

When they arrived at the place, they took their tools and began to learn how to weed.

"Qianqian, I'm so tired! As expected, I'm not suitable for this. When I came out, my parents were worried to death and kept saying that I was not suitable. I refuted them at that time, but now..." Xia Fangli sighed heavily.

"It's okay, we're almost done, we're just working harder."

Looking at Gu Qian's skillful movements, Xia Fangli felt strange and envious.

She felt that Gu Qian should be like her, knowing nothing, the kind of person who grew up being spoiled. After all, he spent money as lavishly as she did.

But Gu Qian's movements were very skillful, like someone who worked regularly.

But no matter what, she really wants to have such ability now!

"Fangli, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and get to work. The captain glanced over here several times just now!"

"What?" Xia Fangli raised her head nervously and looked around. Seeing this, Gu Qian quickly pulled her down.

"You're being too obvious. Hurry up and do it. When I'm done here, I'll come over to help you. Let's finish early and go ask the captain about the pot."

"Okay! Thank you Qianqian. I'm so lucky to have you. I'm so lucky to meet you on the train..." Xia Fangli held her face and looked at Gu Qian, her eyes full of stars.

"Stop it! We are good friends and comrades, so of course we have to help each other. Now, get to work!"
