The next morning, Qiu Aihua took the two of them to the train station and bought two sleeper tickets to Shacheng, Hunan Province.

The train that originally arrived at the station at noon was habitually late. When Xia Yan and Gu Manzhi climbed onto the train and found their seats to sit down, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Manzhi couldn't help but waved goodbye to Qiu Aihua who was seeing him off at the station through the train window.

Wipe the corners of your eyes.

This was the first time that Gu Manzhi shed tears in front of others in the more than half a year since she met Zhu Lin'an abandoning her to marry someone else.

Qiu Aihua bought soft sleeper tickets for them. Because the fare was too expensive, they were the only two passengers in the four-person carriage. This provided them with great convenience and they did not have to worry about thieves or traffickers beating them.

idea.

The child was very cooperative along the way. He was basically sleeping except for metabolism. He seemed to realize that he was redundant. He had been trying to please the elders around him with the cutest appearance. If it hadn't been for the sudden appearance when he came to Ningcheng yesterday.

If it's too uncomfortable, this child will never stop crying.

Although the speed of the train was not fast, it was still approaching its destination little by little. With a whistle, Gu Manzhi held the child and Xia Yan carried the luggage. The two of them supported each other and followed the crowd out of the Shacheng Railway Station. On the opposite side of the train.

They bought tickets at the bus station and the two of them rushed towards Yicheng City without stopping.

The straight-line distance between Shacheng and Yicheng is less than 60 kilometers. Because it is a winding mountain road that goes up and down, this trip lasted nearly three hours. When I got off the long-distance bus,

, Xia Yan was about to fall apart, but she also knew that there was still a rugged mountain road ahead.

Outside the station, an old man was sitting on a walking tractor, scanning the exit with slightly anxious eyes. When he saw Gu Manzhi and Xia Yan, he immediately went up to them: "You two are really good friends."

We’re here, Miss Xia, you’ve had a hard journey.”

After receiving a telegram from Gu Manzhi from Jiangcheng yesterday, Gu Zhengxiang went to the village committee compound to borrow a tractor and waited at the entrance of Yicheng Long-distance Bus Station all afternoon.

"Fortunately, Uncle Gu, you don't have to be so polite. It's not the first time I've been a guest at home."

After taking the luggage from Xia Yan and putting it into the back compartment of the tractor, Gu Zhengxiang noticed that there was a baby in his daughter's arms. He was chubby and fair, with eyes as round as two purple grapes. When he saw a stranger, he looked like a baby.

Not crying, babbling as if to say hello to him.

"Whose child is this? Why did you two bring it back?"

"I picked this up on the train. I don't know who is missing his heart and liver. He put the child directly in our box. We searched for his family for a long time on the train but couldn't find his family. The flight attendant said that the child might be on the way.

After we got off the bus, we saw that the child was really pitiful, so we took him back."

This was the speech that the two of them had prepared, and Gu Manzhi now spoke it eloquently without any sense of guilt.

"Damn it, you don't want such a beautiful child?" Gu Zhengxiang cursed in a matter-of-fact manner, not expecting that the person he mentioned was the one who deserved to be struck by lightning.

Gu Manzhi got on the tractor with Xia Yan's help: "Dad, this is not the place to talk. Let's go home first."

The tractor went west along the national highway and arrived at Yangtou Village in Taocheng County. Gu Zhengxiang first sent the two people home and then drove the tractor into the village committee compound.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Gu Manzhi's mother, Jiang Jimei, was sitting at home looking forward to it. The dishes she had cooked all afternoon were already cold.

When Gu Manzhi and Xia Yan explained the origin of the child, Jiang Jimei was also filled with indignation. The parents' behavior finally made Gu Manzhi feel a little relieved. In any case, the child had a place to live.

On the first night back home, Gu Manzhi, who had been wandering for a whole year, felt more at ease than ever before. This may be the true feeling of a wanderer returning home. No matter how much suffering he suffered outside, the bed at home is his haven.

.

In the morning of the next day, when Gu Zhengxiang, who was also the village accountant, went to the courtyard office, Jiang Jimei knocked on Gu Manzhi's door. When Gu Manzhi came out of the room, Jiang Jimei changed her usual amiability and said to her daughter

It was a scolding: "Kneel down for me."

This scolding shocked Xia Yan, who was standing aside. If she hadn't taken care of the child in her arms, she would have almost knelt down for Gu Manzhi.

"Tell me, where did this child come from?"

It was only then that Gu Manzhi realized that Jiang Jimei's reasonableness last night was all fake. She had long realized that she was lying, and she did not expose it at the time. It was all to help her hide it from her father, Gu Zhengxiang.

Seeing Gu Manzhi kneeling upright with her lips tightly closed, as if she was ready to be tortured to extract a confession, Jiang Jimei snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? I've also given birth to a child. Your body has changed so much. Do you think I can see it?"

Not coming out?"

Although little girl and little daughter-in-law both refer to young women, there is an essential difference between the two. The most striking feature is that the little daughter-in-law's breasts and hips will have obvious changes. It is summer again, and Gu Manzhi's figure is different from

It was different in the past. As a father, Gu Zhengxiang might not care, but as a mother, Jiang Jimei could spot it with just one glance.

"Say, whose child is this?"

At this moment, Jiang Jimei's heart was broken. She never thought that the good daughter she had worked hard to cultivate, the pride of the entire Yangtou Village, and one of the few college students in Taocheng County, could actually do such a thing as getting pregnant out of wedlock.

Shameless things.

But now that the deal is settled, is it really possible to kill Gu Manzhi? Jiang Jimei absolutely does not believe that her daughter is acting loose and messing around outside. She wants to know who killed her daughter by a thousand swords and caused such harm to her daughter.

Jiang Jimei was so angry that she was shaking all over. Gu Manzhi still didn't say a word to explain. The mother and daughter were just deadlocked. Seeing that Jiang Jimei was really planning to pick up the cane, Xia Yan hurriedly stopped between them: "Aunt Jiang, don't

Blame Manzhi, she was deceived." After persuading Jiang Jimei, she turned around and shouted at Gu Manzhi, "It was your fault in the first place. Just give in and apologize. Aunt Jiang won't blame you.

.”

It's not that Gu Manzhi doesn't want to tell the whole story, but what will happen if her parents know who Zhu Lin'an is? Can they fight against the Chen family? What's even more ridiculous is that she doesn't even know where Zhu Lin'an is hiding now.

"Auntie, don't hit her. Everything is my fault. If you want to blame, just blame me."

The three people in the room were entangled when a man's voice came in from outside. The three people turned their heads at the same time. Gu Manzhi was stunned on the spot. Jiang Jimei's face was full of doubts and anger. Only Xia Yan sighed with relief.

He took a breath: "You two are finally here."

The first person who rushed into the room was Shao Xianjun. He knelt down next to Gu Manzhi with a bang and said as if he was ready to be beaten and scolded: "Auntie, I'm sorry for you. This child is mine. His name is Shao Jiujin.

You can punish me however you want, but please don't blame Manzhi."

Turning his head, Shao Xianjun faced Gu Manzhi, who was already shocked and speechless: "Do you think leaving a letter can completely break off the relationship with me? I tell you, there is no way, even if I chase you to the ends of the world, I will still

Find you out."

Looking at the cane hanging in mid-air in Jiang Jimei's hand, Gu Manzhi pushed Shao Xianjun hard: "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with you, not now and never in the future. Please leave my house and leave immediately."

"My child is here, why should I leave? You have no reason to drive me away." In order to prove that what he said was true, Shao Xianjun took out a red notebook from his pocket, "Auntie, this is the child's birth certificate.

The father column above is my name, it was issued by the hospital, and it cannot be faked."

"You bastard, can't you understand people's words? I don't know if you are the father of my child? Please stop meddling in other people's business, I don't care!"

The two kneeling people were arguing fiercely. Xia Yan and Tang Shu, who walked in slowly, stood aside and snickered. Jiang Jimei felt her head hurt: "Gu Manzhi, shut up." She turned to look at Shao Xianjun,
Chapter completed!
