Gu Chen smiled and sat down in the chair next to him.
He said to Gu Hang, 'Dad, we're all family, let's not talk about this.'
With no one around at the moment, Gu He was also somewhat relieved, and looked at Gu Chen.
'Right, little brother, that's a nice car of yours. Tell me, where did you make your fortune?'
It's only been a little over a month, and my brother has already bought a car. He must have made a lot of money. He wants to make a lot of money too!
'It's nothing. I sold some herbs and made a little money. The car is second-hand and isn't worth much,' Gu Chen said honestly.
On hearing this, Gu He's eyebrows shot up.
'A second-hand car is still quite a lot of money, tens of thousands of yuan at least. You need someone, just let me know. You know I haven't done well over the years, but when it comes to work, I can do just about anything!'
Gu He's job is actually to do odd jobs around the city.
He goes to one shop today, another tomorrow.
It's unstable, not to mention that he doesn't earn much.
Seeing that Lao San has even bought a car, she can't help but feel envious and wants to earn money too.
At this moment, Shen Cuizhi puts Tangtang in the room and comes out quietly. She sees that her second son is asking her third son for work and speaks up for him.
'Yes, haven't you contracted the land? Why don't you let your second son go to the land too!'
Shen Cuizhi has been a farmer for generations and is used to farming. She thinks that farming is the most down-to-earth work.
You plant as much as you need, and at least the food problem is solved. You can also sell some of it.
It really seems like a good idea no matter how you look at it.
Gu Hang thinks differently. These days, everyone is heading for the city, who wants to farm!
After a year of hard work, not only did he earn very little, but it was all hard-earned money.
He shrugged, 'Mom, will you stop causing trouble?'
On hearing this, Shen Cuizhi was unhappy and glared at Gu He with a cold face.
'Who is causing trouble? Your eldest brother's life is uncertain, and the third brother came back to help find your eldest brother, not to find you a job? Where are your own hands and feet?'
They are all in their thirties, and they still need their younger brother's help to find a job!
Shen Cuizhi became more and more angry the more she looked at them.
Seeing that his mother was angry, Gu Chen hurriedly smiled.
'It's fine. I'm going to open a few fruit shops when I get back. At that time, you can help with the deliveries. You can drive from our village to the county town and deliver to a few fruit shops. 500 yuan a month. What do you think?'
They are both brothers. You should ask your brother for help. You should also take care of your younger brother.
Gu He's eyes lit up when he heard 500 yuan.
He was so excited at the moment, 'Really? Don't tease me. You can get 500 yuan just for delivering goods?'
To be honest, there is no way he can get 500 yuan for delivering goods. At most, he can get 300 yuan. But this is his own brother.
Besides, the fruits he delivers are all grown in his own space, and he really needs a reliable driver.
The 200 yuan is just a bribe to keep his mouth shut.
He nodded and smiled, 'Of course. Since you and my brother have been cheating me since we were little, how could I cheat you?'
Upon hearing this, Gu He smiled sheepishly.
'That was all in childhood. It's better not to mention it. Besides, although your second brother cheated you when you were little, he did it because he wanted to take care of you. When we stole New Year's candy, he always remembered to steal two pieces for you, so that you could have some to eat while he got beaten up. Have you forgotten?'
Gu Chen looked at the serious Gu He and couldn't help but laugh.
When they were little and their family was poor, they hid all the candy and only gave one or two pieces to each person during the New Year.
The children were greedy, so Gu Zhigang asked Gu He to steal the candy.
It was agreed that each person would steal one candy, and the small quantity would not be noticed.
Who knew that Gu He, who was thinking of Gu Chen, secretly took two, a total of ten candies, and Shen Cuizhi noticed right away that there were three less candies.
She immediately caught the three brothers and asked who had stolen the candy.
Gu He only said that it was himself and his eldest brother, and the two of them were beaten up.
In the evening, he gave the piece of unconsumed candy to Gu Chen. Not only did Gu He remember this, but Gu Chen also did.
Gu Chen smiled and said, 'If you knew you were going to get beaten up, you might as well have stolen two pieces, one for each of us!'
This is what real brothers are like: they quarrel and fight, and there are good times and bad times.
All that can be said is that, having grown up and started a family, everyone has different ideas, and this has caused them to drift apart.
After all, having a family means you are no longer just one person, but have to worry about two or three people.
You have to compete for a house and a mother.
Gu Chen is getting more and more excited as he thinks about it. Five hundred yuan a month is a lot of money. He asks Gu Chen eagerly, 'By the way, Minister, with such a high salary, you don't need me to buy a car, do you?'
Not to mention buying a car, he couldn't even afford to rent one. A large truck, or semi-trailer, costs 50 yuan a day!
Fifty yuan is ten percent of his salary, and even if he spent his entire salary on renting a truck, he wouldn't be able to pay the rent in a month.
Gu Chen smiled and said, 'I'll rent the truck, you just deliver the goods, don't worry about anything else.'
Gu Hang had been listening for a long time and couldn't help but speak up.
'Tell me about your brother. Although the money has been paid, the person hasn't returned yet. No matter what, you have to find your brother!'
Gu Zhigang is still his eldest son after all these years, and as parents, they always want to find their children and keep an eye on them every day.
Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, 'I'll break my leg tomorrow morning, and go to Huacheng in the afternoon. I'll try to find your brother and bring him back to you within a week.'
After saying that, he looked at Ji Pianran, who was sitting on a small bench, uneasily.
'You wait for me at home, I promise, I'll come right back as soon as I find your brother,'
To be honest, Gu Chen also didn't want to part with Ji Pianran, but Huacheng was a place where he was unfamiliar with, and the year 2000 was the most chaotic time in Dongguan.
He was really not at ease with his daughter-in-law following him.
Hearing that Gu Chen was going alone, Ji Pianran was a little unhappy.
Her brows furrowed slightly. 'That won't do. It's so chaotic over there, you definitely can't go alone.'
The chaos in Huacheng was well-known, so how could she possibly let Gu Chen go alone to such a dangerous place?
She would have to go with him if she was to feel at ease.
She shook her head, her watery eyes fixed firmly on Gu Chen's, and after a long pause, she said, 'I want to go with you.'
She didn't want to be separated from Gu Chen, and she wasn't at ease letting him go alone. She didn't know the place, and it would definitely be better to have one more person.
'What about Tangtang?' Gu Chen hesitated upon hearing this.
Ji Pianran was an adult, so it would be fine for her to follow him, but if they brought the child, it would be a lot more trouble. The most troublesome part would be Ji Pianran. If she went out to find someone, she would definitely have to bring the child.
Ji Pianran thought for a moment, 'It's just that we haven't been there before, so I can take Tangtang to the park to play.'
Hua Cheng is chaotic, but it is only Dongguan. It is such a big city that she can perfectly take Tangtang to stay in a place with a relatively better security environment.
