Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Gu Zhan's cold voice made Zhang Qiaomei retreat and hesitate for a moment, but when she thought of what she was about to say, she suppressed the feeling.

"Nephew, please save your brother. He's been arrested. They say it's because he's engaged in speculation."

Even though he had expected it, when Zhang Qiaomei said it, Liu Xiaoxi still felt a little sad. The man who was so popular a few days ago was actually arrested today.

Gu Zhan said nothing, looking at Zhang Qiaomei coldly, waiting for her to continue.

"Gu Zhan, can you please save your brother? As long as you save him, I will let him come and apologize to you. I beg you." Zhang Qiaomei knelt down as she said that.

As early as when Zhang Qiaomei knocked on the door and shouted, people came to watch. Now Zhang Qiaomei knelt in front of Gu Zhan, which attracted everyone's pointing and discussion.

Hearing the noise outside, Liu Xiaoxi became furious. She didn't care about her pregnancy and went over to help Zhang Qiaomei get up.

However, Zhang Qiaomei was determined at this moment. She wanted to force Gu Zhan to help get Gu Jun out. She shook off Liu Xiaoxi's hand and continued to kneel straight in the same place.

Liu Xiaoxi almost stumbled. If Gu Zhan hadn't been quick enough to grab her, she would have probably fallen.

She patted her chest with lingering fear, and Gu Zhan comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I'm here, just stand aside first."

"Yeah." Liu Xiaoxi nodded in agreement and took a few steps back, moving a little further away from Zhang Qiaomei.

When the people outside saw that there was something exciting to watch early in the morning, some of the bolder and thicker ones gathered directly at the gate of Gu Zhan's house.

"Hey, kid from the Gu family, can you help your aunt? You can't write two characters of "Gu" with this stroke!" The neighbors who were unaware of the situation saw what Zhang Qiaomei did and most of them thought that Gu Zhan was going too far, forcing his aunt to kneel in front of him.

"Boy, you will be punished by God if you make your aunt kneel to you like this." A middle-aged woman in the crowd who was about the same age as Zhang Qiaomei said.

Gu Zhan knew that person. She was usually close to Zhang Qiaomei.

Listening to the discussions outside, Zhang Qiaomei knew that her goal had been achieved. Now she was just waiting for Gu Zhan to be forced to admit the matter.

Seeing Zhang Qiaomei's attitude, Gu Zhan couldn't help but understand her thoughts. This woman always knew how to use words to gain more benefits and advantages with minimal actions.

Language is her invisible weapon that kills people.

But how could Gu Zhan let her succeed?

He looked calmly at the people discussing the matter and said in a normal tone, "What are you doing? Gu Jun was arrested for speculation and profiteering. Now you want me to rescue him. How do you think I should do it?"

After hearing what Gu Zhan said, the people who had just spoken up for Zhang Qiaomei suddenly fell silent. If it was really speculation, they would not dare to say anything. If they accidentally got involved, they would be in trouble.

In those days of scarcity, who didn't go to the black market to buy what they needed? Or who didn't go to the black market to exchange their eggs for food and cloth?

All of these things exist, but they are just secrets that people usually do. If you look carefully, you will still find clues.

Everyone suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to watch today's excitement. They looked at each other and dispersed on their own accord.

Zhang Qiaomei watched everyone leave, and she was really panicked. She sorted out all the relatives of the Gu family, and only Gu Zhan could talk to the public. When she came, she had already placed all her bets on Gu Zhan.

If Gu Zhan doesn't help, what should we do now?

"Don't you know someone in the government? You've even been commended by the county. Why don't you go find them? Okay? Auntie, please, go find them and save your brother."

"Second Aunt, you're probably kidding. Do you think people would give me face for something like this, considering I'm from the countryside?"

Zhang Qiaomei was silent. She knew that this matter was of great importance and Gu Zhan might not be able to help, but he was the last resort.

In short, no matter what Zhang Qiaomei said, Gu Zhan acted as if he was helpless.

Zhang Qiaomei was deflated. She stood up silently, patted the dirt off her body, and left silently again.

Liu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of the person.

With Zhang Qiaomei's departure, gossip began to spread in Shanghe Village.

Zhao Dani usually likes to show off. During this period, Gu Jun made money, and she often went out to act as a loudspeaker in the village, telling others how much money her grandson brought home every time.

Zhao Hongmei's arrogant and contemptuous attitude, her new clothes from head to toe, and even the Gu family's newly built house have now become the talk of the villagers in Shanghe Village.

Everyone was already jealous, and now they were almost speculating with the utmost malice about the extent of the Gu family's speculative activities.

In addition, Gu Zhan naturally became the object of suspicion of the villagers, especially when they thought that he was a poor boy without parents, but he could build a house on the flat ground, and he might be engaged in speculation.

But they also thought about what Gu Zhan had done for the village during this period. Every single thing he did was for everyone's benefit. Under this circumstance, no one had any resentment. They just thought that Gu Zhan was also a poor child. No one took care of him at home and he had to earn money by himself.

In fact, in this era, people's hearts are so simple and honest. If you do it for my own good, I will help you too.

Gu Zhan rejected Zhang Qiaomei in the morning, and Gu Dali came to her in the afternoon.

This was the first time that Gu Dali entered Gu Zhan's house openly after Gu Zhan moved. Before this, he only looked at him from afar through the door.

Seeing the spacious house and bright glass in front of him, Gu Dali felt mixed emotions. It seemed that this child was living a good life after leaving the Gu family.

Then he thought of what he was about to say, put away other thoughts, coughed heavily, and quickened his pace.

After Zhang Qiaomei left in the morning, the couple knew that today would not be a peaceful day.

Gu Zhan simply put away the documents that he usually placed on the table and watched Liu Xiaoxi do the homework.

Gu Zhan noticed when Gu Dali entered the room, and he waited until the person was about to enter before he walked out.

When Gu Dali suddenly saw Gu Zhan, he felt that the young man in front of him was very unfamiliar. A trace of imperfection was revealed on his young and handsome face, but he concealed it very well. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see it.

And the aura around him actually made him shrink back.

Gu Dali thought about what Ji Hai was going to say, collected his thoughts, and slightly pulled the corners of his stiff mouth: "Xiao Zhan, I beg you for a favor."
