The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

Jiang Mei was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe that the usually soft-hearted Gu Xiaoqi could actually become so tough. She was unhappy and was about to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Gu Zhenguo.

"Since Xiaoqi has figured it out, why are you still talking so much? We will go to the countryside in three days. Don't delay your work. Hurry up and give Xiaoqi 1 yuan!" Gu Zhenguo said while taking care of his orchids.

"It doesn't even cost a dollar to bandage it...!"

Before Jiang Mei finished speaking, Gu Zhenguo gave her a look and she instantly wilted!

He muttered, "You little bastard, why do you need so much money? You are such an ungrateful bastard!"

Gu Xiaoqi naturally wouldn't care and just treated it as if she was farting!

He turned around and looked at Gu Zhenguo, who was leisurely drinking tea and admiring orchids.

This is Gu Xiaoqi’s adoptive father. He took advantage of the dividends of the times and entered the soy sauce factory. He was just promoted to team leader with a salary of 39 yuan.

He usually looks like a good guy. He never asks when Gu Xiaoqi gets beaten or scolded, and just pretends he doesn't see anything.

Jiang Mei went into the inner room and came out after a while. She glared at Gu Xiaoqi fiercely and handed him 1 yuan!

"You'd better be frugal. If you don't need those, just give them back to me. Our family is not rich, so you can do whatever you want!" He said with a painful expression.

This dollar can buy one and a half kilograms of pork!

She only earns 28 yuan a month at the sugar factory, it's such a waste to give it to this little bitch!

Gu Xiaoqi's appearance at this moment was indeed terrifying. His face was pale, there was so much blood on his head, and his body was shaky as if he was about to fall down at any time. If he was brought to Director Fan in this state, he might not be accepted!

No! If this damn girl dies like this, it will be a relief for her!

Gu Xiaoqi didn't say anything extra. He staggered into the house, took out a tattered little bag, slung it over his shoulder, and walked out of the house.

The Gu family lived in the dormitory of the soy sauce factory, which was a tube-shaped building. They had to go to the public area outside to use the toilet and wash up.

Gu Zhenguo was allocated a one-bedroom apartment. He and his wife lived in the bedroom, and the living room was separated into a room, so the living room of the Gu family was very small.

Gu Wan and Gu Xiaoqi lived in the separated room. The eldest son of the Gu family usually lived in the dormitory of the unit. When he came back occasionally, he would sleep on a folding bed in the living room.

If men and women were not prohibited from living in the same room, Jiang Mei would not have let Gu Xiaoqi live in that room.

However, when living in the house, Gu Xiaoqi also lived on the floor, with a mattress as her nest, while Gu Wan lay on the bed, always looking superior and complacent.

Gu Xiaoqi was not allowed to sit on her bed, nor was he allowed to put clothes in her closet. In short, Gu Xiaoqi was just a piece of garbage living in her room and lying on the floor.

It was already lunchtime when he walked out of the house. The neighbors were all employees or family members of the soy sauce factory. They were shocked to see Gu Xiaoqi's pale face and blood on his body.

"Oh, Xiaoqi, did your mother beat you again? It's such a sin. How could she have the heart to hurt such a good child?" said the neighbor, Aunt Gao.

Aunt Gao’s son is a third-level worker in a soy sauce factory. Both he and his wife are workers and need to go to work, so Aunt Gao came from the countryside to the city to help take care of her grandson.

This person is really enthusiastic and gossipy. If she knows something, the whole building will know it!

"Xiaoqi, talk to your aunt and ask if you don't want to go to the countryside. Alas, there's nothing we can do about it! Your mother is the same. She is so partial and gives all the good things to your sister. People who don't know would think you were adopted." Aunt Gao kept speaking up for Gu Xiaoqi.

Don’t even mention it, Aunt Gao, you’ve revealed the truth!!!

Gu Xiaoqi's expression was suppressed, his eyes reddened as he whispered, "No, I agreed to go to the countryside. My brother got into trouble at work, and my mother insisted that I go to my brother's boss's house. I'm scared. What effect can I have if I go?"

"Forget it, my mother may have her reasons. I'll just be obedient. I still have to go to the clinic. I feel dizzy." After saying this, Gu Xiaoqi looked pitiful, and "accidentally" touched the back of his head and stretched out his hand to reveal some dried blood.

"Oh! Xiaoqi, your head is bleeding! Why is Jiang Mei so heavy-handed? She has really committed a sin! She usually looks like a decent person, but she is so cruel!" Aunt Gao looked at her with some displeasure.

"No, no, Aunt Gao, please don't tell anyone, or I'll go home...my mom...I won't say anything! Aunt Gao, thank you for your concern, please don't tell anyone, I'm going to go treat my wound first!"

After saying that, Gu Xiaoqi held his head and left dizzy.

Aunt Gao was left with an angry expression on her face. Jiang Mei was such a bad person. She looked smooth and like a human being, but how could she do such a thing to abuse a child!

And from what Xiaoqi said, his brother got into trouble and wanted to hand Xiaoqi over to the leader. Although Xiaoqi didn't say it directly, isn't it obvious?

Is this something my mother did?!

Xiaoqi is such a sensible and filial child. She has not been here for long but has heard how the family treats Xiaoqi!

How could this child end up with such a pair of parents? This is abuse! They are selling their daughter!

She still remembered that when she first came to the city, her son and daughter-in-law had not yet finished get off work. It was Xiaoqi who brought her a stool and poured her hot water, and even secretly gave her the only biscuits he had left!

No, we have to ask the neighborhood committee to make the decision for Xiaoqi.

As she spoke, Aunt Gao wiped her hands on her apron, took off her apron, walked into the house, said something to her daughter-in-law, and went to the neighborhood committee.

Gu Xiaoqi didn't know that because of his "careless" disclosure, Aunt Gao went to the neighborhood committee.

There was no such thing in her previous life. Every time someone asked Gu Xiaoqi about these things outside, she would vehemently deny it. Even if others wanted to help her, she had no right to do so.

Gu Xiaoqi will naturally not be so stupid again in this life!

The weather in October was a bit chilly. A gust of cold wind blew when he walked out of the alley. Gu Xiaoqi's broken head felt cold and he shivered and tied a thin scarf on his head.

There is a health center in the soy sauce factory area, just a 10-minute walk away.

After waiting for about ten minutes at the clinic, Gu Xiaoqi arrived. The doctor looked at Gu Xiaoqi's head and called him to the treatment room to bandage it.

"Your head is a little scratched, but it's okay. I'll bandage it for you and prescribe some medicine, including some antipyretic! I'm afraid you'll take the medicine if you get a fever! I'll give you an IV drip later for two days." said the doctor.

Gu Xiaoqi agreed. There was no tetanus these days, so these operations were quite complete.

Gu Xiaoqi paid 8 cents, including two days of IV drip.

Lying on his side on the bed in the clinic, with an IV in his hand, Gu Xiaoqi fell asleep in a daze.

In her dream, she seemed to have returned to the basement where she once lived, a small room of more than ten square meters, with a single bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a refrigerator, and an open kitchen.

There is a toilet in the house, which is small but complete with everything.

Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help but look around the room, wondering how he suddenly returned to the room he was in many years later?

Could it be that she has traveled back in time again?

Gu Xiaoqi walked towards the bathroom with doubts, looked at himself in the mirror, and his face appeared in the mirror.

I didn’t expect that in my dream, my head was still wrapped with white gauze.

Gu Xiaoqi walked back to the room and suddenly saw a crystal clear jade bowl on the desk. Gu Xiaoqi walked over and smelled a fresh and tempting scent.

Looking at the liquid in the jade bowl, Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help but pick up the jade bowl and put it into his mouth.

As soon as she drank it, she felt refreshed all over. She hasn't had a sip of water since she woke up!

I didn’t expect that dreaming about drinking water would be so thirst-quenching!
