Chapter 173 Reporting the Whole Family
Xu Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. She just felt uncomfortable seeing Gu Qingqing's behavior and wanted to find someone to talk to. Qin Yiheng couldn't say these words.
The only person she could find at this educated youth point was Jiang Yanqiu.
Zhao Lanlan and Gu Qingqing have a very good relationship, so the Tian sisters seem unreliable, and the others are not familiar to her.
Xu Yan bit her lip, as if she was a little undecided about whether to say it or not.
After a short silence, he said, "Nothing, I just wanted to tell you about Zhao Lanlan!"
Jiang Yanqiu was stunned when she heard this and asked directly, "When did you find out there was something wrong with her?"
She suddenly remembered that she had advised Zhao Lanlan to be nicer to her several times before, but Xu Yan always signaled her not to ask. She probably knew about Zhao Lanlan's situation a long time ago.
Xu Yan was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke: "Actually, I found out about this not long after I came here."
After saying this, she sighed softly.
Jiang Yanqiu, who was standing by, heard this but did not respond. She just sat there quietly, waiting for Xu Yan's next words.
Seeing Jiang Yanqiu didn't respond, Xu Yan paused for a moment, then continued, "Not long after we arrived here, I happened to see Zhao Lanlan delivering food to her father at the quarry. I thought it was strange at the time, so I asked my family to help me investigate. What they found was incredible! Zhao Lanlan's father used to be a professor at the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts. Her mother used to be a master craftsman at the bedding factory, and she was a very skilled embroidery artist. Unfortunately, for some reason, her father was sent down here for labor reform."
Having said that, Xu Yan paused for a moment, a hint of regret showing on her face.
Then she continued, "When their house was raided, her mother was pushed down a high staircase with great force. She fell very hard. Because of this, her mother was not sent down to the countryside, but now she has a chronic illness that cannot be cured. Her mother decisively severed ties with her father so that her four children could live a stable life. But even so, she can no longer do the embroidery work she is good at, and can only do odd jobs like cleaning in the garment factory. She only earns a salary of twenty or so yuan a month, and it must be so difficult to support Zhao Lanlan and her four siblings with this little money!"
Xu Yan shook her head, her tone filled with sympathy and emotion. "Zhao Lanlan is the eldest daughter in the family. Her oldest brother is five years younger than her, so she has a lot of responsibilities. Although her family's financial situation wasn't very good, her mother still allowed her to finish high school. After Zhao Lanlan graduated from high school, her mother originally wanted her to join the production team in the province, but when she learned that her father was undergoing reform here, she decided to come here instead."
“Their family story is so touching!”
This is the truth. Nowadays, there are so many people who break off relationships due to various reasons. It is really rare to find a family like theirs that can stay together even in such difficult circumstances!
Xu Yan nodded in agreement and continued, "It's really touching. This family is a great example of a loving father and a filial son! By the way, do you know the specific situation of Gu Qingqing's family?"
"I remember her family seemed to be an ordinary working-class family, right?"
Jiang Yanqiu said what Gu Qingqing had said herself.
However, Gu Qingqing's family would not mind hearing it, because those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the huge sums of money and gold, were not something that ordinary workers could have.
Xu Yan was silent for a moment before she said, "That's not true. Her father was a top student who studied abroad. After returning to China, he became an associate professor at the Shanghai Maritime College. But something happened later, and her father felt ashamed to face those students again, so he simply resigned and went to work as an engineer at the shipyard. Before the accident, he was a senior engineer at the shipyard. Her mother is the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department."
Hearing this, Jiang Yanqiu exclaimed in surprise, "Gu Zhiqing's family is so well-off! No wonder her skin was so smooth when she went to the countryside. You can tell she comes from a wealthy family. I don't think she comes from an ordinary working-class background."
Xu Yan showed a look of regret and said slowly, "What a pity... Just because of the going to the countryside incident, Gu Qingqing actually reported her own family. Not only did she report her parents, but she also reported her grandfather and her maternal grandfather's family. Now, their whole family is in labor reform on the farm."
Jiang Yanqiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She vaguely felt that Xu Yan and Qin Yiheng's queue-jumping might have a lot to do with Gu Qingqing, and they came to chat with her just to complain about Gu Qingqing.
Xu Yan and Gu Qingqing have developed a certain friendship during their time together over the past year.
Gu Qingqing is very good at making friends. If it is beneficial to her, she will be nicer to the other person. If it is not beneficial to her, even if she doesn't like the other person, she will give in to the other person for the sake of face.
She always gives people the impression of being a gentle and generous girl.
Although I don’t know Xu Yan and the others’ purpose, Xu Yan is just a girl under 20 years old.
I have a bit of admiration for Gu Qingqing, a gentle, generous, knowledgeable and charming girl, and the two of them have always gotten along well.
But Xu Yan couldn't let go of what Gu Qingqing had done, and the little girl felt conflicted.
Although the female educated youth at the educated youth site seemed to have a good relationship with each other, they actually had their own thoughts and were wary of others.
Even the Tian sisters were wary of each other. Every time Tian Mi went with them to dig medicinal herbs, she would register some under their names and would not allow them to tell anyone.
However, Jiang Yanqiu continued to feign surprise and said, "Could there be a mistake? Gu Zhiqing doesn't look like that kind of person!"
She was certain in her heart that it was Gu Qingqing who reported it, but she couldn't be too calm.
In the book, Gu Qingqing gave the team leader fifty yuan to help him arrange a place for her to be selected as a teacher.
As a result, everyone had the test questions and answers, but hers were given by Qiao Lei and others, not by the team leader.
Later, when she borrowed the team leader's bicycle, she destroyed the team leader's bicycle!
Even so, he was still not satisfied, so he went to the commune to report the matter under his real name, causing the team leader to be removed from his position.
The team leader's wife was not convinced, so she brought her sisters-in-law to fight with the female educated youth.
Gu Qingshi used his family power to force the captain's son, who was about to be promoted, to retire from the army.
This kind of revengeful character, according to the book, it is normal for her to report her current parents and brothers who treat her badly.
Xu Yan sighed and said, "It's all speculation. The Gu and Su families used to be great philanthropists. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they donated their property and became low-key. They didn't offend anyone in their daily lives. Gu Qingqing is the biggest suspect."
Jiang Yanqiu asked again, "Why did you guess Gu Zhiqing?"
Xu Yan explained, "Before going to the countryside, Gu Qingqing knew that she wasn't her mother's biological child, but the daughter of her father who had drunken sex with another woman. The letter of accusation she wrote might have been written with her left hand, and the handwriting was ugly, but the stationery and ink were only available to her father's senior engineers. So she's the most likely culprit, and as soon as she left, something bad happened to the Gu family."
