Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 429 I Really Understood

Chapter 429: Chapter 429 I Really Understood

The man’s name was Guo Hao, in his thirties, now a villager of Liuhe Bay Brigade, and had just returned from Nan City. Approaching forty, he was still unmarried. He was all alone, nominally an orphan.

He looked at the gold and silver jewelry in the box with calmness in his eyes; they were left to him and his sister by their mother.

Last autumn, he went to Nan City, exchanged a large sum of money, and then went to Beidu to find the house his mother had left for him and his sister.

After settling the matters in Beidu, he returned to Nan City.

His mother had instructed that once she had passed the ordeal of death, the whole family should move to Beidu.

"Don’t look for a wife here. If you feel like it, just pay for women. Don’t father any children. When we get to Beidu, I’ll find you a good match. Men are not like women; even at fifty, you can still marry a young girl," she said.

There were many other reasons, too.

At first, he didn’t like the idea, but as he grew older, he started to think it wasn’t so bad.

He didn’t speak.

Guo Haiqin went on, "Brother, you’re so much older than Song Ting. Even if she has soared high now, even if she were just a farmer in the village, the Song family would never marry her to you. Give up on this heart of yours soon. And don’t go looking for her in Beidu either. Got it? It’s not going to happen between you two."

Song Ting caught Guo Hao’s eye the year she turned eighteen when she visited her sister-in-law’s maternal home.

And he had never forgotten her over the years.

That’s how people are; the less they can have something, the more they want it.

If Song Yunuan were here, she would be horrified to find out that this Guo Hao was the old man Song Ting had married in her previous life.

To say she was married was less accurate than to say she was purchased.

In the end, Song Ting even had her legs broken by him.

Liu Jincui, when she was around, said it might be possible, that in the worst case, they could just kidnap Song Ting and take her somewhere else to live.

But before they could act, Liu Jincui had an accident.

Guo Hao’s expression was sinister, "You go to Beidu and wait for me. I’ll find an opportunity to kill Song Yunuan."

Guo Haiqin was shocked and looked at Guo Hao in disbelief, "Are you insane? Can’t you just live a good life? Why would you want to kill Song Yunuan? What did she ever do to you? Besides, isn’t murder against the law? If you go to prison, what will happen to me and Xiao Bao?"

Guo Haiqin wished she could crack open her brother’s head.

Guo Hao’s expression was vicious, "I have people and things in my hands, don’t worry, no one will suspect me."

"Why... why do you want to kill Song Yunuan?"

"I’ve analyzed it carefully. The Song family has had good days ever since Song Yunuan came back. She grew up in the provincial city, has people there and in the county town, and I heard she gets along well with Tingting. There was no hope before, but now there’s even less hope for me and Tingting."

As he spoke the name Tingting, a hint of lust flickered in Guo Hao’s eyes, which was extremely disgusting to behold.

"Song Yunuan is the lucky star of the Song family. Once she’s gone, the Song family will be finished. Then Tingting and I might have a chance, right? Besides, I’ve wanted to get rid of Song Yunuan for a long time. If it weren’t for her insistence on taking that woman to the neighboring county, our mother might not have been caught. It’s all her fault. She might be a lucky star for the Song family, but for us, she is a disaster."

Guo Haiqin looked incredulously at her brother, who seemed mad, and felt a loathing for Song Ting rising within her. At the same time, thoughts she hadn’t considered for a long time surfaced again.

Yes, it was her who caused their mother to be arrested.

The siblings refused to consider the fact that their mother had intended to traffick Song Yunuan.

In their eyes, other than themselves and Xiao Bao, everyone else was merchandise, assets without investment.

Weren’t those gold, silver, jewels, and foreign currency all accumulated in this way?

Including Guo Haiqin, who was considered as a bride for Sun Dazhuang if needed to frame him, in reality, harbored no compassion for the innocent women and children.

She was not worried about how to live her life; she and her brother had a courtyard house in Beidu.

Although the management in this area was very strict, this courtyard house was purchased last spring by Liu Jincui in Beidu.

It was obtained using old connections and cost a lot of money.

Liu Jincui had not been sentenced yet, precisely because the accomplices she confessed to were spread far and wide, north and south of the river. To track them all down and secure evidence of their crimes was not something that could be done in a day or two.

Liu Jincui kept the whereabouts of her son tightly under wraps, as well as the fact that her daughter-in-law was actually her daughter.

Guo Haiqin frowned, "No, Song Yunuan has too many relatives and friends here, don’t act rashly. We should go to Beidu first. Isn’t Song Ting in Beidu? You can start by looking for her."

Guo Hao thought for a moment and said, "I’ll consider Song Yunuan first, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll go to Beidu to find Song Ting."

Guo Haiqin added, "Song Ting has become famous now, a great singer. Can you even meet her?"

Guo Hao smiled sinisterly, "Just have to silence her, then see how she can sing."

-----------------

Old Master Gu called Song Yunuan, deliberately choosing Sunday noon.

He told Song Yunuan that she had received praise from the leadership for a bartering deal, deciding to award her a bonus of two thousand yuan as well as a certificate of honor.

He asked Song Yunuan whether she would like the bonus to be mailed to her or how she would like to receive it?

Song Yunuan was surprised.

Logically, this was not something Old Mr. Gu should be concerned about.

He must have been idling around with nothing better to do.

Not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm, she suggested that the money be given to Uncle Di.

Old Master Gu didn’t say much and agreed readily.

After Song Yunuan expressed her thanks to the old master, he quickly said there was no need for thanks and immediately changed the subject, bringing up Murong Feng, Old Man Qian, and Qu Limei.

The true identities of Qu Limei and Qian Cheng had been uncovered; they were both members of the 263 network. Although Qu Limei was not a formal member of 263, as the mistress of a station master, she was privy to plenty of information.

While she still refused to confess to the events of the past, with so much evidence against her, she could not resist for long.

Now focusing on Qian Cheng’s capture, a breakthrough could be expected soon.

Old Man Qian was deeply affected, yet he was extremely resilient. Although reassigned to logistics, he still went to work normally, claiming to hold his post for one last time...

Old Master Gu said mockingly, "What does he mean by holding his post for one last time? It’s just that he’s too thick-skinned to leave, hoping to pass the baton to his son and then leave with peace of mind.

But how could he fail to consider whether his son is capable of taking over what he’s handing down?

Do you think these people are all blind?

If Qu Limei were simply the mistress of the station master, the matter wouldn’t be so serious.

But now, it’s clear she’s involved in more than one or two incidents.

What Su Miaolian heard must be true, and Qu Limei will confess everything in the end. I’m looking forward to seeing how Old Man Qian reacts, whether he’ll remain stubborn or continue to feign ignorance?

He probably has an inkling about many things.

But he abides by one principle: ignorance is innocence.

This old fellow is shameless and not very astute; he still wanted to harm Little Nuan. In fact, all this mess is thanks to that wretched kid Gu Huai’an.

"Once these matters are settled, I’ll make him properly apologize to you."

Song Yunuan thought for a moment and then obediently said, "There’s no need for an apology, Grandpa. You should keep a close eye on him, make sure he doesn’t work so hard he goes bald, or skip meals and become as skinny as a rod, or overeat and get a potbelly and acne on his face. He should eat healthily and exercise more..."

Old Master Gu: ...

I understand, I really do!!!
