Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

It was just a casual question, and when Lin Shu realized what was going on, he was also shocked.

If her guess came true, did it mean that the person who took away her innocence in her previous life was Gu Jiu?

Not only was Lin Shu shocked, Dabao was also shocked.

Dabao struggled to find the word he was looking for in the newspaper, "Mom, why do you think so?"

Lin Shu had just said it casually, but now that he realized what was going on, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about it. "Because you look the same as in your previous life."

"People say that sons look like their mothers. Although you didn't inherit my looks completely, you are somewhat similar. You also look somewhat similar to Gu Jiu. You are the combination of the best of both of us. According to your genes, you look the same in this life and the last. Do you think Gu Jiu is that person in the last life?"

Dabao sighed inwardly, and his little hands searched for the necessary lead type on the newspaper again, "If that person in the previous life was him, what would you do?"

Lin Shu looked at Dabao, feeling mixed emotions. "I don't know. My mind is a bit confused right now. But at least our relationship can't go back to the beginning."

All the suffering she endured in her previous life was caused by her eldest son’s biological father.

If Gu Jiu was the evil man in her previous life, how could she face him calmly?

But thinking about how her eldest son had no father to support him in his previous life, and how he suffered a lot from lack of fatherly love, she couldn't bring herself to talk about divorce.

Dabao frowned and read out the words one by one, "What if there is something inside, and he is also a victim?"

"He's a victim?" Lin Shu thought about it for a moment before shaking his head and denying it. "How is that possible? Who could have harmed a grown man? He's a victim, and I'm also a victim. Then who benefits from this whole thing?"

Dabao felt that he had to make things clear with Lin Shu about today's matter, otherwise she would get stuck on it.

For the sake of his and his sister's future happy life, he must fight this newspaper to the end today.

"Is there a possibility that Gu Jiu was tricked by someone else? And then by some strange coincidence, you two ended up together?" Dabao tried his best to guide her to uncover the truth.

Lin Shu rubbed Dabao's little head and said with a wry smile: "This is not a palace drama. Who would plot against him in this era? He is just an ordinary commoner, not a royal family in ancient times. Son, your imagination is too rich."

Dabao nuzzled into the crook of Lin Shu's neck, mumbling monosyllables, "bu, bu, bu."

Then he lay on the newspaper again, his chubby little fingers dancing on the newspaper. "In his previous life, maybe he was plotted against by someone."

These words suddenly reminded Lin Shu of Xu Ting in the county town. What was Xu Ting doing in this life on the day when the accident happened in the previous life?

Lin Shu thought for a long time before she remembered that it seemed to be Xu Ting's birthday that day.

If he was really plotted against, then the most likely possibility was that Xu Ting had plotted against him. Thinking of this possibility, Lin Shu lowered his head and stared at Dabao and asked, "Son, do you know something? Or did something happen after I died in my previous life that I don't know about?"

Dabao gave her a big finger, her mother finally had her IQ up.

how to say?

This is a long story, and he is so weak now. If he were to explain the whole process clearly, he would be exhausted.

In the previous life, Gu Jiu was at Xu Ting's birthday party, and Xu Ting failed to express her love. She was unwilling to accept this and drugged Gu Jiu.

Xu Ting had been watching Gu Jiu grow up since he was a child, so Gu Jiu had no guard against her and Xu Ting's first move succeeded.

After he realized that he was being plotted against, he stood up, kicked Xu Ting to the ground and quickly left.

Xu Ming never expected that his sister would use such despicable means. After being shocked, he chased Gu Jiu out of the state-owned hotel.

Later, the effect of the drug on Gu Jiu took effect and he became confused.

When Xu Ming discovered Gu Jiu's condition, his first reaction was to send him to the hospital, but he considered that if he did, it would inevitably alert the police.

If the police intervene in the investigation and find that it was Xu Ting who did it, then Xu Ting will definitely be summoned or locked up in a small dark room.

The Xu family is a well-known family in the county. They dare not take the risk, nor can they afford to lose face in front of this person.

So, the following plot is very bloody.

Xu Ming booked a room in a nearby guesthouse and put Gu Jiu in the guest room. Then he took advantage of the night to kidnap a girl from the street and sent her to Gu Jiu's room.

What happened next is indescribable, but what was supposed to happen happened.

Xu Ming initially wanted Xu Ting to help him with the antidote, but thinking of Gu Jiu's resistance to Xu Ting, he didn't dare to take the risk. If he really did that, they would no longer be brothers in this life.

Between his brother and his sister, he chose his brother Gu Jiu.

But he never expected that what happened later would develop beyond his expectations.

Of course, Dabao couldn't explain it so clearly. He struggled to find words and roughly expressed the matter.

Lin Shu looked at him in disbelief and questioned, "That's not right. If it's as you said, then why didn't I see the culprit when I woke up? Also, why do you know more about the past life than I do?"

Dabao looked at the small lead characters with a headache. He had been looking for the characters for such a long time that he felt dizzy. Now he hated himself for not learning to speak quickly.

Looking at the saliva dripping on the newspaper, it has already stained several spots.

"It's a long story."

Lin Shu read out the words Dabao pointed out word by word.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it slowly." Lin Shu didn't want to let Dabao go, so he said, "Let's look for him slowly."

When you take care of your kids at home, you don't have much else but more time.

Dabao yawned and looked at Lin Shu with resentment, "You don't feel sorry for exploiting your baby, is there any justice in this world?"

Lin Shu gently pinched his little face and said softly: "Show your entrepreneurial spirit. We should cultivate the spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue from childhood, so that we can achieve something when we grow up."

Dabao yawned again, wondering how his mother could say the cruelest words in such a gentle voice, even trying to exploit a baby like him.

If she is exploited too harshly, won’t she feel guilty?

Lin Shu forced a smile and waited calmly for him to explain the whole story.

In fact, outsiders may not know that when Lin Shu asked the last two questions, she was relieved. At least, in the previous life, Gu Jiu did not kidnap her to the guesthouse on his own accord. In order for the children to not lack fatherly love, they may still be able to live on for the rest of their lives.

"Answer my first question first. Why didn't I see the culprit in the room when I woke up?" Lin Shu urged.

Dabao rolled his eyes. What else could it be? Of course Xu Ming was afraid that the victim would wake up and report the case or hold Gu Jiu responsible.

So after Gu Jiu finished, he went into the room and took Gu Jiu away. Otherwise, he would be caught red-handed when the girl woke up.

However, he did not expect that after Gu Jiu woke up, he learned the cause and process of the incident, and despite Xu Ming's obstruction, he returned to the guesthouse to find the girl.

The result was predictable. When Lin Shu woke up, he had already left. They came to nothing.

Gu Jiu has always felt guilty about this incident. He didn't expect Xu Ting to plot against him, and he didn't expect Xu Ming to attack an innocent girl he had never met for the sake of his family's reputation.

Later, he searched everywhere in the county but couldn't find the girl he had harmed.

Dabao had a hard time looking for the word. In the end, Lin Shu told his guess. If it was correct, Dabao nodded. If it was wrong, Dabao shook his head.

This is much simpler.

At least Dabao doesn't have to bother looking for words in the newspaper.

Lin Shu sighed in his heart and took a deep breath. "One last question. Why are you so clear about these things? Or did you...Gu Jiu find you later? Did you recognize each other as father and son?"

Dabao nodded helplessly, "Ah, ah..."

That's it.

Gu Jiu didn't know that he had a son in the world. It was only after Lin Shu passed away that the two recognized each other by chance.

Gu Jiucai told him the cause of the incident, and Dabao thought about Lin Shu's situation and was able to connect the cause and effect of the incident.

Lin Shu was so angry that she vomited blood. It turned out that she had worked so hard to raise her son. After she died, the father and son recognized each other not long after. In the end, she worked so hard all her life and let the Gu family take advantage of her?

"This isn't over yet! Since you've been so tired today, go to sleep first."

After waking up, continue to explain the matter to her clearly.

Later, how did the father and son meet and recognize each other? What happened to their lives afterwards must be explained clearly.

Dabao wanted to cry but had no tears. No matter in past or present life, it was Gu Jiu's fault. Why should he have to suffer this?

Don't you feel guilty for torturing a baby like this?

Before going to bed, Dabao cursed his father Gu Jiu thousands of times in his heart.

Thousands of miles away, Gu Jiu sneezed a few times and couldn't help but tighten his cotton coat.

That's right.

It's still autumn in the provincial capital, but here in the northeast people are already wrapping up their coats.

"Brother Jiu, are you okay? Are you used to the northern weather? If not, let's take a day off tomorrow. Just be sure not to catch a cold."

Gu Jiu was panicking, but he didn't know what to panic about. "It's okay. We've been busy for so long and bought a lot of dried fruits. After another ten days of buying, we can go back when we have enough for a carload. You can rest as much as you want after you go back. We should focus on business first since we are here."

"Okay." Xiao Jiang began to direct the villagers who came to sell goods to put the mountain products on the scale to weigh them.

Gu Jiu checked the plump pine nuts and was satisfied. However, he was always busy and his right eyelid would twitch every now and then.

"The left eye twitches for good fortune, the right eye twitches for disaster." On the way back, Gu Jiu said to Xiao Jiang, who was driving the ox cart, "My right eye twitches badly. There are a lot of mountain products piled on the ox cart. Please drive slower. It is better to arrive in the city later than to have any problems."

"Brother Jiu, do you still believe this?" Xiao Jiang thought it was funny. Although the road was muddy, it was still relatively flat. The goods on the oxcart were not piled too high, so he didn't believe that the oxcart would have an accident.

"It is better to believe it than not to believe it." Gu Jiu pressed his eyelids with his fingers, and not long after he let go, his eyelids twitched a few more times.

Seeing his actions, Xiao Jiang was extremely amused and teased, "Brother Jiu, when we get to the city later, do you want me to buy you some paper? I heard from the elderly that sticking some red paper on the eyelids is good for eyelid twitching!"

"Really useful?"

It was just a joke, but I didn't expect Gu Jiu to be so skeptical.

Xiao Jiang was stunned, and his tone became more serious, "How about giving it a try?"

"Just give it a try, and then you can buy it when you get to town."

Xiao Jiang paused and nodded: "Okay!"

......

Liu Xiao'e came back carrying the hungry Erbao and found Lin Shu and Dabao sleeping together on the bed.

"Why did you fall asleep with Dabao today? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lin Shu took the humming baby in his arms with sleepy eyes, and while feeding him, he said, "My head hurts a bit, so I slept with the first baby. Where did you take the second baby to play?"

Liu Xiao'e didn't think much about it. She looked at Erbao gurgling and drinking milk and said with a smile: "The weather outside is good today. There are many children playing on the court in the courtyard. I took Erbao for a walk there for a while."

"She's been playing for so long, she should fall asleep after drinking her milk. Mom, let them both sleep here with me, and you go and have a rest too."

When Lin Shu said he had a headache, he wasn't just saying it.

It really hurts.

The truth came to light, which might have relieved her worries, but the headaches she had suffered from childbirth in her previous life seemed to have spread to her all of a sudden.

The back of my head was throbbing with pain and it was very uncomfortable.

Liu Xiaoe left.

The two children were sleeping like little pigs, with their little bellies bulging.

Lin Shu stared at them, and thought of the suffering he had endured in the past, feeling inexplicably sad.

I was reborn just to rekindle my relationship with him?

It’s nonsense just thinking about it.

What is that for?

For the two children in front of you?

Or is it to renew the mother-son relationship with her eldest son?

When he woke up, his head still hurt, so Lin Shu gave the task of collecting money from the store to Gu Youhui.

Those who are capable should do more work. I have too much to do today and my head is feeling dizzy. I can only trouble Gu Youhui to help me run the errand.

Gu Youhui did not refuse. After agreeing, he took an extra cloth bag and went out.

When he came back, everyone in the family who was working or studying had returned.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by Jiang Chaohong.

"Aunt San, what's up?"

Jiang Chaohong stared at the canvas bag he was carrying with curiosity. "Is your business doing good today? Why do I feel like your bag is fatter today than yesterday?"

Gu Youhui glanced at the other people in the living room. Seeing that they didn't notice this side, he walked past her and said, "The business in my store is no different from before. The reason why my bag is bulging today is because I helped my aunt collect the money."

Jiang Chaohong raised his eyebrows, glanced upstairs in surprise, and said sourly, "Your aunt really trusts you."

Gu Youhui chuckled and wanted to go upstairs to give the money to Lin Shu.

When Jiang Chaohong saw this, she took a few quick steps and stopped Gu Youhui again.

"Aunt San, is there anything else?"

"Haha, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask you, how is your fruit shop business? How are the preparations for the fruit basket?"

Gu Youhui's eyes flashed with understanding, "Aunt San, you want to ask me where I got the baskets from, right?"

Jiang Chaohong smiled and said, "Youhui, you are smart. I just thought that we are all family. If you have a way, tell me, and I will let my disappointing brother go and get some money back. We can make money together."

Gu Youhui nodded: "It won't be done so quickly. The baskets need to be customized, and it will take about a week to pick them up."

"One week is one week. Just let me know when you pick up the goods. I'll bring my brother with you."

Jiang Chaohong glanced at Gu Youhui's canvas bag secretly, and this time she did not stop Gu Youhui from going upstairs.

Gu Youhui went upstairs with his bag, shaking his head in his heart. It's not that he didn't see Jiang Chaohong's eyes, but he just ignored them.

His third aunt looked down on his youngest aunt because of her rural background, and at the same time was jealous of her wealth.

From time to time, she also wanted to get some ways to make money from her aunt, but her aunt was too lazy to argue with her about these harmless little calculations.

Otherwise, the family would have been in turmoil.
