Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes to hide her expression. “I know. You had better go home!”
When she got home, Gu Qingyao thought about it. She had clearly seen the smug look that Gu Ruoqing had directed at her before she left.
She was well aware of the Wang family’s poor situation, but the rest of the Qing River and Southern Lake Brigade did not know this. They all longed for the city but had no means of coming into contact with a city dweller. So Gu Ruoqing had given them hope.
Too many people dreamt of an account in the city. They would not give up such a chance easily.
To an ordinary person, Zhang Xiaohui was just a middle-aged woman. She had managed to marry and move to the city and even bring her child from her previous marriage, Gu Ruoqing, with her. That was an incredible feat. With Wang Guozhu’s abilities, or at least his seeming abilities, even a young girl from the countryside would be willing to marry him.
In order to ingratiate themselves with Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui, some people might make trouble for the Gu family. It was clear that those girls were targeting her.
As for Wang Guozhu, although the Wang family was not doing well, at least he had retained his position. If Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing did badly and resented the Gu family, they might get Wang Guozhu to find a way to make trouble for the Gu family. Then what would they do?
It could happen!
Gu Qingyao’s eyes shone with a cold light. No matter what, she was clear that she was not going to be a saint after her rebirth. She certainly would not allow her enemies to have a good life. Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui’s current situation could not compare to the pain they had caused her in their previous life.
The hatred in her heart would not dissipate until she had dragged them into hell!
Later on, Gu Qingyao found a way to find out about Wang Guozhu’s situation. Wang Guozhu was working in the factory, so it was not easy for Gu Qingyao to do so. But she did not give up. She would find a way.
But Gu Qingyao had not expected that the next day after she decided to find out about Wang Guozhu, she received news that misfortune had befallen him.
Wang Guozhu had made a mistake and had been severely punished and demoted. He was no longer a director, but had been demoted to an ordinary worker in the workshop. His salary had been reduced from 40 yuan to 30 yuan and he had no more bonus.
Even worse, his house had been taken away and given to another director. He was now an ordinary worker and was being disciplined. So for the time being, he could only stay in the hostel.
Gu Qingyao went to the town every day to barter her goods, then went to check on the Wang family. She saw the two old folks from the Wang family weeping, wailing, and wildly beating Zhang Xiaohui, berating her for being a jinx.
When she asked other bystanders, Gu Qingyao found out about Wang Guozhu’s misfortune.
She immediately smiled broadly. Who was so nice to have dealt with Wang Guozhu?
Who else?
It must be her Elder Brother Beihan!
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing had plotted against Gu Qingyao in her previous life. Mo Beihan clearly remembered this debt. Gu Qingyao was no match for Mo Beihan when it came to formulating plots and acting savagely.
In his previous life, Mo Beihan had moved amongst powerful people. He had held a senior position and wielded much power. Of course, Gu Qingyao’s methods could not compare to his.
She was the darling of the Gu family. In her previous life, her family had doted on her and she had been a pampered child. Her life was comparatively simple.
After Mo Beihan left, he had arranged everything and used the Gu family’s cousins’ connections so that Wang Guozhu’s situation worsened.
